In the life history of submerged macrophyte,they obtain most of their nutrients from the sediment. The properties of sediment exert an important effect on the growth of aquatic plant. We analyzed the correlations between the physics-chemical properties of sediments and submerged macrophyte parameters. The correlation analysis showed that physics-chemical properties of sediments explained 56. 52% variations of submerged macrophyte, while characteristics of submerged macrophyte only explain 26. 75% variations of physics-chemical properties of sediments. The first canonical variables of the submerged macrophytes explained variation of TP/TN to some extent (Squared multiple correlations is 0.5258), but could not explain variation of water content well (0.0280). Variations of Fresh weight (0.7503), Shannon-Wiener index (0.4841)and Species saturation (0.4613) could be explained by the first canonical variable of the surface sediment parameters well. Additionally,Canonical Correlation Analysis revealed that only weak correlation existed between subsurface sediment parameters (5一15cm depth) and submerged macrophyte parameters.
