摘要： The process of ecological restoration in eutrophic lakes, often results in the blooming of the filamentous green algae Cladophora. This consequently affects the growth of submerged plants and the restoration of vegetation. However, the blooming process of Cladophora and the environmental factors affecting their growth are poorly understood. This has become a difficult problem in the management of lakes. The study therefore focused on succession process of Cladophora blooms and their driving factors through mesocosm experiments in Caohai Lake. The results of our experiment indicated that Cladophora growth was mainly affected by water temperature, turbidity and soluble reactive phosphorus concentration of the habitat where Elodea nuttallii and Cladophora coexist. Nuisance Cladophora was mainly affected by turbidity (>19.24 NTU) when the water temperature was above 15.7 degrees C. With increasing Cladophora biomass and decreasing turbidity (<4.88 NTU), Cladophora biomass accumulation was mainly limited by the soluble reactive phosphorus concentration (<3.2 mu g/L). Recorded turbidity range of 9.54-13.19 NTU was found to cause dramatic changes in the biomass of Cladophora. The results also showed that the outbreak of Cladophora blooms was mainly attributed to turbidity when the water temperature was appropriate in eutrophic lakes. These findings suggest that successful management efforts should strengthen the monitoring of transparency change in addition to controlling the phosphorus concentration to limit the Cladophora overgrowth on lake ecological restoration.
