Ecological Effect of Vegetation on the Reservoir Shore

Abstract:

The shore zone of reservoir is an important transition zone between water ecological system and land ecological system in exchange material, energy and information. As a buffer area on the edge of the reservoir, the reservoir shore zone plays an important role in water and soil conservation, and purifies water quality. Most of the previous studies on reservoir shore focused on large reservoirs, while the number of small and medium reservoirs are often important source of local production and living water, therefore, it is necessary to study the vegetation pattern and its ecological effect of small and medium-sized reservoir shore zone, and put forward the suitable plant species in different conditions and optimize pattern of small and medium-sized reservoirs, thus improve the ecological effect of water and soil conservation, and purifying water quality. That would prevent and reduce the silting of small and medium-sized reservoir, and enhance the water storage capacity.
