| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. Excessive inputs of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) trigger eutrophication of the water bodies, which promotes the undesirable growth of algal bloom and deterioration of the water quality, and aquatic biodiversity. Macrophytes provide an environmentally benign and economically viable paradigm for the ecological restoration of eutrophic aquatic ecosystems. Water lily (Nymphaea) is largely used as ornamental plant for landscaping, and it has been documented that water lily possesses the potentiality in mitigating polluted aquatic environments. In the present study, water lily cultivars Nymphaea Texas Dawn (NTD), Nymphaea Colorado (NC), Nymphaea Madame Wilfron Gonnère (NMWG), and Nymphaea Sunshine Princess (NSP) were investigated for their potency in alleviating the eutrophication. The concentrations of total P and total N were significantly higher in the leaves of NC and NSP compared with NTD and NMWG. Therefore, NC and NSP were selected for subsequent studies to decipher their recuperation efficacy on eutrophic waters at different growth stages. NC and NSP significantly reduced the concentrations of eutrophication indicators i.e., total P, NH4+-N, and chemical oxygen demand in different gradients of the simulated eutrophic water in a growth-dependent manner. On the contrary, NC and NSP triggered a significant increase in the concentration of dissolved oxygen particularly at the seedling stage. Notably, the concentrations of total P (shoot and root) and total N (root) were relatively higher in NSP than NC. The study thus revealed a growth-dependent differential efficacy of NSP and NC in mitigating the different eutrophic waters |
