Combined use of in situ passivation and macrophytes is a valuable technology that exerts remarkable effects on aquatic systems. However, the effectiveness and ecological functions of this combined technology for macrophytes-dominated eutrophic (MDE) lakes with organophosphorus-controlled internal phosphorus (P) loading were poorly understood. In this study, aquatic simulation experiments were performed to study the combination of La-modified materials (LMM; La-modified bentonite (LMB), and La/Al co-modified attapulgite (LAA)) with macrophytes (Myriophyllum verticillatum L. (MVL), Hydrilla verticillata (Linn. f.) royle (HVR), and Ceratophyllum demersum L. (CDL)) for the control of P mobility in the water column, and to investigate the passivator effects on the physiological characteristics of macrophytes. The mineralization of organophosphates (BD-Po, HCl-Po, and Res-Po) is an important factor for maintaining high internal P loadings and overlying water P concentrations in the experiments. Compared with individual treatment groups, the reduction of internal P release flux and porewater SRP concentrations was more obvious in the combined treatments. Moreover, the redox-sensitive P forms transformation is more pronounced in the surface sediments. In the LAA+M group, internal P release flux was reduced by 55% and 55% compared with individual passivators and macrophytes retreatment groups, respectively. In contrast, the LMB+M group decreased by 16% and 46%, respectively. Simultaneously, LMM had less effect on macrophytes traits compared with individual macrophytes group and enhanced the absorption of phosphate by macrophytes. The phosphate content of macrophytes in the LAA+M and LMB+M groups increased by 24% and 11%, respectively, in comparison with the individual macrophytes group. Results concluded that the combination of passivator and macrophytes enhanced the effect of ecological restoration and exerts a synergistic effect on internal P pollution with macrophytes.
