Abstract

Wuyiling Nature Reserve is located at the edge of a frozen soil area and has abundant vegetation resources. It is an important area for evaluating the impact of frozen soil degradation on the environment. Analyzing the water quality and eutrophication characteristics of different swamps and water bodies can provide a basis for protecting the water environment of frozen soil areas. The pollution characteristics of different swamps and water bodies were analyzed and the Levenberg–Marquardt back-propagation neural network was used to evaluate water quality and eutrophication. Finally, the eutrophication evaluation was compared with the nutritional status index. The results demonstrated that (1) the highest concentrations of the total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen (AN), permanganate index (PI), chemical oxygen demand, and chlorophyll were all present in the Tangwang River, which could be caused by the effects of human and agricultural activities along the river. The maximum average concentrations of TP, AN, and PI in the four wetland swamps appeared in the shrub swamp; (2) The water quality category of shrub, grass, and forest swamps in Wuyiling Nature Reserve was Class II, and the water quality category of floating swamps and the Tangwang River was Class I. The nutrient levels of the four marsh swamp wetlands and the Tangwang River were in the mid-range for many nutrients; and (3) the LM–BP neural network model, which was used to evaluate water eutrophication, and the results of a comprehensive evaluation of a nutritional status index were similar, further demonstrating the credibility of the evaluation results.
