“…Considering the rhythm of inundation, wherein the water level is reduced in summer, an ecological opportunity arises under adequate light and heat conditions for plants (Li, Yuan, Xiao, & Chen, 2011), and the mean vegetation cover in the riparian zone of the TGR is more than 0.7 (Zhang, Liu, & Sun, 2009). When the water level increases in winter, plant litter, as a source of organic nitrogen, could be transformed into NH 4 + anaerobically through nitrogen mineralization (Akter et al, 2016). Therefore, revegetation, which is widely used in the ecological management of riparian zones (Peng, Zhang, Qin, & Li, 2014), could potentially endanger the water quality of a reservoir.…”
