Chinese Journal of Ecology Abstract Ten species of low temperature-tolerant aquatic macrophytes were chosen to construct four combinations of aquatic macrophytes to study their purification efficiency on eutrophic water body in winter. In non-macrophyte treatment CK the removal efficiency of water total nitrogen TN nitrite nitrogen NO x -N ammonium nitrogen NH 4 -N and total phosphorus TP was 40. 0% 25. 9% 27. 3% and 64. 5% respectively. Combination 1 Iris hexagonus Hybrid + Rumex japonicas + Acorus gramineus Ogan + Juncus inflexus Blue Arrows grew luxuriantly in the test eutrophic water body and performed best in decreasing water TN NO x -N NH 4 -N and TP with the removal efficiency being 47. 8% 52. 2% 32. 4% and 70. 1% respectively. Combination 2 I. hexagonus Hybrid + R. japonicas + A. gramineus Ogan + Hemerocallis middendorfii could survive and had definite growth amount in the test eutrophic water and the removal efficiency of water TN NO x -N NH 4 -N and TP was 44. 2% 58. 5% 34. 6% and 67. 8% respectively. In contrast both the combination 3 R. japonicas + Lolium perenne + Chlorophytum comosum + Juncus pallidus R. Br. Javelin and the combination 4 R. japonicas + L. perenne + C. comosum + Carex tristachya only had an obvious efficiency in removing NO x -N but less efficiency in removing TN NH 4 -N and TP due to the poor growth of * ** wxfhongan@ 126. com

2 C. comosum and C. tristachya. It was suggested that combinations 1 and 2 had better purification efficiency on eutrophic water body being the suitable combination forms of aquatic macrophytes floating-bed under low temperature in winter.
