Abstract:
      In order to solve the problem of inefficient phosphorus removal in vegetated ditches during winter, three Myriophyllum aquaticum ditches with low, medium, and high water levels were built to study total phosphorus(TP) removal performance under lowtemperature conditions. The results showed that the M. aquaticum ditches had a high phosphorus removal effect throughout the winter, and the average TP removal rate was 61.9%~73.7%. Under high-water level conditions, relatively high water temperature and underwater space were conducive to the growth of M. aquaticum, thereby promoting the absorption of phosphorus by M. aquaticum, whereas under low-water level conditions, higher dissolved oxygen(DO) concentration and root-soil interface were conducive to adsorption of TP by sediments. According to the phosphorus mass balance, plant and sediment absorption accounted for 30.27%~48.75% and 18.38%~24.95% of the influent TP load, respectively. These results indicate that M. aquaticum is appropriate as a cold-resistant aquatic plant for TP removal in drainage ditches.
