【 摘 要 】

There is an information gap regarding heat stress-induced oxidative damage and the species-specific behavior of plants under stress conditions. The present study was designed with the hypothesis that heat stress may induce species-specific oxidative damage that determines the competitive capacity of common submerged macrophytes. We conducted two laboratory experiments to simulate mono- and mixed cultures of three submerged macrophytes with the application of two heat shock treatments. The results showed that both heat shocks had significant effects on growth, photosynthetic pigments and the ability to induce strong oxidative damage for all three species. The comparative results of mono- and mixed cultures showed that P. crispus had an advantage in both the control and hightemperature treatments over the other two species as a strong competitor in the mixed culture. Further, the competitive capacity of P. crispus increased in the moderately high-temperature condition compared to the control.
