Abstract  

Based on the comparison of the differences of aquatic community structure such as the species composition,density,biomass and diversity indexes of phytoplankton,zooplankton,and aquatic vascular vegetation between the riparian buffer zone and the non-riparian buffer zone of Dongfenggang,this paper assessed the effect of riparian buffer zone on the aquatic community structure.Results showed that the number of species of phytoplankton in riparian zone was more than that in the non-riparian zone,and most of them lived in clean water.The community structure of zooplankton in riparian zone was much more complex than that in the non-riparian zone; the number of species,density and biomass of zoobenthos in riparian zone was more than those in non-riparian zone.Furthermore,the riparian zone possess a more diversified community structure of aquatic vascular vegetation.All these results showed that the riparian buffer zone has a better aquatic community structure than the non- riparian buffer zone,which means the riparian buffer zone has a good effect on enhancing the diversity of aquatic organism and perfecting the community structure.
