the adjacent cities such as Wujiang‚ Suzhou and Wuzhong. Lake East Taihu is a typical macrophytic lake‚ the richness and diversity of hydrophyte vegetated in Lake East Taihu are the highest in Taihu area‚ helping with the low occurrence of eutrophication[2]. As the development of economic and population increasing in the lake basin‚ Lake Taihu has suffered increasingly from serious pollution. Diversity of the aquatic macrophyte has been decresing from 75 species in total in 1980s to 55 species[3]

determining an ecosystem ’s disturbance by a pollutant. Some of the most frequent pollutants in our ecosystem include: gases such as sulphur dioxide‚ elements such as mercury and arsenic‚ and even pollution by nutrients which is referred to as eutrophication. Each of these pollutants pose a different effect on the ecosystem at different doses. This varied effect is what is referred to as dose and duration. The amount of the pollutant administered over what period of time greatly affects the impact
