英文摘要	The relative importance of environmental and spatial drivers in shaping local plant diversity patterns remains unclear. Here, we investigated the environmental and spatial drivers regulating species composition of the submerged macrophyte community in Erhai Lake, China, over different seasons and water-depth gradients. Results showed that environmental and spatial drivers significantly affected species composition of the sub-merged macrophyte community at the local and fine scale, with shared environmental and spatial drivers ex-plaining 28.3%-38.4% of the variation in species composition for all four seasons. The unique spatial drivers demonstrated a relatively stable contribution (11.8%-16.0%) over the four seasons, but the contributions from the unique environmental drivers showed seasonal variability, being high in summer and winter. In shallow water (0-3 m), spatial drivers were more important in the process of community assembly; in deep water (3-6 m), however, environmental and spatial drivers both significantly affected community assembly. The different water areas also showed strong seasonal changes in the explanatory power of environmental and spatial drivers of submerged macrophyte community variation. Thus, future studies should consider sampling macro-phytes over different seasons and at different water depths to better trace the indicators regulating submerged macrophyte community assembly in lakes.
