Abstract:

The study presented an ecological restoration framework based on selforganization theory,and applied it in resolving the question of aquatic plants disappearance in the littoral zone of Lake Chaohu.The technique framework was firstly to study the environmental requirements for aquatic plants restoration,secondly to set the restoration goals for different inshore regions,and thirdly to restore the inshore regions while combing existing ecological engineering techniques.We applied the framework to implement an ecological restoration project in Lake Chaohu.The project has successfully restored aquatic vegetation of an area of 50 000 m2.Aquatic plant biodiversity has been raised by 70%,and total coverage has been increased from 30% to 60%.The framework provides strong technological supports for ecological restoration of the littoral zone of Lake Chaohu,and holds high practical application values in the future.〖
