An ecosystem to inhibit algal blooms in hard-bottomed lakes
By setting up floating islands in lakes with hard bottoms and planting emergent plants, quaternary ammonium salt chitosan-modified rope-like aquatic plants, and microbial-degradable slow-release particles, the problem of algal blooms caused by excessive nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients and weak self-purification capacity in lakes with hard bottoms has been solved. This has achieved immediate and long-term algal suppression effects, improving water quality and ecosystem diversity.

AI Technical Summary
The existing technology cannot effectively solve the specific problem of how to solve or has failed to effectively solve the problem of algal blooms caused by excessive nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient input and weak water self-purification capacity in lakes with hard bottoms, which leads to water hypoxia, microcystin release by cyanobacteria, threaten drinking water safety and cause economic losses to fisheries.
A floating island system is used, in which emergent plants are planted and quaternary ammonium salt chitosan-modified rope-shaped artificial aquatic plants are placed at the bottom of the floating islands. The hollow boxes are filled with microbial degradation slow-release particles. The flocculation and microbial degradation effects of quaternary ammonium salt chitosan are used to inhibit algae growth, while the emergent plants absorb nutrients to improve water purification.
It achieves immediate and long-lasting algae suppression, improves water transparency and self-purification capacity, enhances biodiversity, and has comprehensive advantages such as easy maintenance, low cost, and eco-friendliness, while also possessing landscape aesthetic value.
