Wetlands at high altitude of Tibet Plateau offer a diversity of habitats to numourous aquatic organisms. Aquatic macrophyte is one of the integral parts of aquatic ecosystem,with plants providing food and shelter for other organisms that are in and close to the water. Thus,the plants in a water body may influence not only the ecosystem alone but also the surroundings. Aquatic plants sensitively respond to the environmental changes within a wetland. The tolerance limit of aquatic macrophytes is facing a great challenge in the context of climate change. It is, therefore, possible to quantify and project the climate scenario by analyzing the dynamics of these plants. The plants at high altitudes are believed to be particularly sensitive to long-term climate change because abiotic factors, especially climate, dominate with respect to biotic interactions. As the Earth' s third pole, the Tibetan Plateau may be among the most sensitive to global climate change. The Plateau has experienced a pronounced warming in the past decades which has led to an accelerated glacier recession in recent years in the plateau,and the changing climate has placed additional pressure on already - vulnerable water ecosystems. As a result, snow, ice andfrozen ground melting havebrought sufficient water supply to some rivers or wetlands in the last three decades in the plateau..One of the prominent impacts is the water level fluctuation in the wetland. This has posed a significant impact on most wetlands which arerecharged mainly from snow-melting,permafrost thawing, and percolated rainwater in the Tibetan Plateau. Consequently, the species, community and structure of the aquatic macrophytes have to adjust to thechanging environment. However, few studies have been conducted in Tibet on the aquatic macrophyes on account of harsh climate,inconvenient transportation as well as the political controversy. In the hope of initiatinga new perspective on climate change from aquatic macrophytes in the Tibetan Plateau,this paper presents and analyzesrelevant literatures, the species identification, the plants distribution, the community structure and function to clarify the specious debate on aquatic macrophytes. It is suggested that the climate change will increase the distribution of certain macrophytes species along with the slightly expanded wetland. The water flow, bird and livestock could be the media to bring the seeds or other reproductive organs of the pioneer species in the new wetland. And the impact of climate warming on the timing of plant phenophases need to be stressed. Since the phenology of aquatic plants is easier influenced than its terrestrial counterparts, the linkage between climate change and aquatic plants can be used to better reestablish the historical climate or predict the future climate scenarios. Phenology, morphological plasticity and reproduction approaches of the aquatic macrophytes might be the key focus for the researchers in the future. The positive results of the potential research could uncover the correlation mechanism between climate change and aquatic ecosystem. Hopefully,the conclusion of this study will shed some light on predicting the climate change in the alpine biosphere from the perspective of aquaticmacrophytes.
