Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Pond cypress net photosynthetic rate did not change significantly under moderate or deep submergence versus shallow submergence.
- Intervention effect Bald cypress net photosynthetic rate decreased under both submergence treatments versus shallow submergence.
- Intervention effect Pond cypress chlorophyll ratios increased under moderate and deep submergence.
- Intervention effect Bald cypress chlorophyll ratios showed no significant change.
- Association Both species had reduced diameter and height with increasing submergence depth.
- Observation Bald cypress relative diameter growth exceeded pond cypress under deep submergence.
- Intervention effect Deep submergence reduced primary branch number in both species.
- Intervention effect Moderate submergence reduced primary branch number in bald cypress.
- Intervention effect Moderate submergence did not significantly reduce primary branch number in pond cypress.
- Recommendation The authors consider both cypress species suitable for TGDR reforestation.
