Adaptations and biomass production of two grasses in response to waterlogging and soil nutrient enrichment

Rubio, G.

Adaptations and biomass production of two grasses in response to waterlogging and soil nutrient enrichment - 1995 - Printed

4 ill., 1 graph, 2 tables; 22 ref. Summary (En)

The response of two grass species, Danthonia montevidensis and Paspalum dilatatum to waterlogging, soil-nutrient enrichment and the combination of both factors was analyzed. Waterlogging did not affect total biomass of D. montevidensis, but it slightly promoted growth of P. dilatatum. Most analysed variables showed no significant interaction between fertilization and waterlogging. Therefore, waterlogging does not produce a detrimental effect either in the growth of these species or in their response capacity to stimulating growth factors, such as fertilization
