Providing a linkage between w ater and sediment, they have the closest interaction w ith w ater environment. T his interaction is very complicate partly because sediment are not only served as a base of physical attachment. Recent attention has focused on the effects of submersed macrophytes on sedi ment redox, nutrient statues and the effects of sediment organic composition on macrophyte growth. This line of investigation has been thoroughly reviewed by Barko et al. ( 1 1) . Longterm ecological records of the decline of submersed macrophytes in the progress of eutrophication have suggested that sediment may play an important role for the decline due to its close relations to macrophyte growth and distribution. Therefore, more concerns should be given to the inhibitory effects of fertile sediment on submersed macrophytes w hen nutri ents are excessive for their growth. How ever, this line of investigation and e
