Due to a close contact with water column, submerged macrophytes are easily disturbed by environment change in freshwater ecosystems, especially at the seedling stage. In recent decades, freshwater ecosystems have been subject to severe cadmium (Cd) pollution, which can cause toxic effects on the gro...
