Hygrophyte is an important part of a constructed wetland system. Species composition of wetland plant communities are important in the water-cleaning functions of wetlands. Four common wetland plants (Zizania caduciflora, Iris tectorum, Acorus calamus and Potamogeton pectinatus) in natural wetlands were chosen. The effect of the different plant communities on the treatment of domestic sewage were compared. The results showed that the four different plant communities in constructed wetlands had different impact, and the concentrations of BOD5, CODCr, TN, NH4+-N, NO3--N, TP deceased with the time, decreased in the order:CK > Zizania caduciflora > Iris tectorum > Acorus calamus > Potamogeton pectinatus; the purification effects of BOD5, CODCr, TN, NH4+-N, NO3--N, TP increased with the time, decreased in the order:CK > Zizania caduciflora > Iris tectorum > Acorus calamus > Potamogeton pectinatus; the aboveground biomass ranged from 25.9~39.6 g/m2, following the order:Zizania caduciflora > Iris tectorum > Acorus calamus > Potamogeton pectinatus, effects of Zizania caduciflora and Iris tectorum had no significant difference (p>0.05), effects of Acorus calamus and Potamogeton pectinatus had no significant difference (p>0.05); the belowground biomass ranged from 31.2~41.3 g/m2, following the order:Zizania caduciflora > Iris tectorum > Acorus calamus > Potamogeton pectinatus, and presenting the significant difference (p<0.05); N and P accumulations in belowground were higher than aboveground, which decreased in the order:Zizania caduciflora > Iris tectorum > Acorus calamus > Potamogeton pectinatus, difference of P accumulation between the aboveground and belowground was not significant (p>0.05). The correlation analysis showed that there was the significant positive correlation between TP and P accumulations in water bamboo, irises, calamus and brassica. TN, NH4+-N, NO3--N and N accumulations were significantly positively correlated. CODCr and BOD5 were positively correlated with underground biomass, but not correlated with aboveground biomass and P accumulation. In total, the underground biomass plays an important role in the process of purifying water quality, and the plants with well developed root have the greater clean-up effect.
