Abstract: Aquatic plants play an important role in lake restoration due to their low cost, low energy consumption, low environmental disturbance and ecological appreciation. The causes and forms of lake ecosystem degradation were analyzed. The mechanisms and effects of four different types of aquatic plants, including allelopathy, absorption of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, adsorption of sediment and photosynthesis, were expounded. The current research status at home and abroad was introduced, and the existing research methods and problems were discussed and some suggestions were put forward. The future research direction was prospected.

Key words: aquatic plants, lakes, eutrophication of water, ecological restoration
