Review of the research progress in the allelopathy of submerged macrophytes on algae from the aspects of occurrence frequency and coverage.

Submerged macrophytes may significantly reduce phytoplankton biomass. Allelopathic effects of macrophytes on phytoplankton are no longer doubted, with mechanisms stabilizing clear-water conditions.

Eutrophication led to the loss of the macrophyte-dominated clear-water regime and a shift towards a phytoplankton-dominated turbid regime in many shallow lakes. Allelochemicals released by submerged macrophytes can inhibit the growth of phytoplankton.

It is well known that submerged macrophytes can suppress phytoplankton blooms in lakes and thus promote water quality and biodiversity.
