摘要Little is known about the effectiveness of plant species in balancing multiple functions. To reveal the effectiveness of single and multiple species in balancing the two key ecosystem functions, the controlled plant decomposition experiment was conducted by simulating a gradient of water level of fluctuation zone (WLFZ) in the Three Gorges of Reservoir (TGR), China. The results showed that considering single function, Xanthium sibiricum and Hemarthria altissima performed best for functions of water quality and soil nutrients, respectively. To balance the two functions, a combination of the three species showed better performance in achieving the goals of decreasing nutrients leaking into water in the inundation stage and increasing nutrients in soil in the exposure stage. Although carried out in the controlled condition, the experiment implied that multiple plant species play an important role in optimizing the balance between two ecosystem functions.
