Effects of submergence on growth and survival of saplings of three wetland trees differing in adaptive mechanisms for flood tolerance

摘要

Aim of study: Withstanding total submergence and reaeration following submergence is essential for the survival and establishment of wetland species. We focused on "LOES-low oxygen escape syndrome" and "LOQS-low oxygen quiescence syndrome" and compared tolerances to total submergence among wetland woody species differing in morphological adaptation to soil flooding.
