- Association Carex acuta responded more to hydrologic change and grew better in dry and saturated conditions.
- Intervention effect Fertilization had a more positive effect on Glyceria maxima.

- Intervention effect Flooding stressed Glyceria maxima.
- Observation Carex acuta produced more ramets than Glyceria maxima.
- Observation Carex acuta was taller than Glyceria maxima.
- Observation Carex acuta showed plastic responses to nutrient and water conditions.
