- Intervention effect Shoot relative growth rate fell by 6–27% under waterlogging.
- Intervention effect Root relative growth rate fell by 15–74% under waterlogging.
- Association Growth declined as water level rose.
- Intervention effect Photosynthesis was little affected at 200 mm below the surface.
- Intervention effect Adventitious root number rose up to 1.5 times.
- Intervention effect Tiller number fell by 24–62%.
- Observation Adventitious roots penetrated only 85–116 mm below water.
- Intervention effect Waterlogging increased root porosity up to tenfold.
- Observation Porosity also rose in basal roots above water when younger tissue entered waterlogging.
- Observation Growth rates recovered after drainage at the 200 mm depth.
- Observation Growth recovered only partially after more severe waterlogging.
