Multi-objective Ecological Restoration Scheme for Caizi Lake Wetlands under Water Level Change
Hydrological processes shape the main ecological structure and function of lake wetlands.However,as a consequence of human activities,such as the of dams,water diversion,and navigation projects,the hydrological processes of lakes have been significantly influenced.With this context,it is imperative to comprehensively consider various ecological factors in order to mitigate the anthropogenic effects on wetland resulting from fluctuations in water levels.Here,based on reviews of the ecological influence of water level and the methodology of wetland rehabilitation,we provided a multi-objective rehabilitation framework for lake wetlands based on water level influence,which aimed to reduce or eliminate the impacts of water level change on wetland ecosystem.A cause rehabilitation application on Caizi Lake,which of the hydrology rhythm were predicted to influenced by Yangtze-to-Huaihe Water Diversion Project and encompassed by national parks,showed that was capable of addressing multiple goals,including the preservation of fish diversity,restoration of submerged vegetation,of mudflats and herbaceous marshlands,and protection of waterflow diversity.As a result,we concluded that our framework offered significant advantages in enhancing the integrity,sustainability,and biodiversity of the Caizi Lake,and was also practical in application.
