Abstract: Taking Lingshui Lake, a typical HCO3-Ca type submerged vegetation degraded karst lake, as the research object, through the laboratory simulation experiment of adding Ca2+ and HCO3- concentration gradient, the change of chlorophyll a concentration of submerged macrophytes attached algae under different nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient concentration levels was explored. The results showed that adding only Ca2+ or HCO3- in different groups could promote the increase of algae chlorophyll a concentration under different nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient levels. Adding Ca2+ and HCO3- in different groups also significantly promoted the growth of attached algae, and showed an increasing trend with the increase of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient concentration.

Key words: karst water ecosystem, degradation of submerged macrophytes, attached algae, Lingshui Lake
