Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Young C. lucens tolerated soil flooding for approximately one month.
- Intervention effect Soil flooding significantly decreased stomatal conductance to water vapor in young C. lucens.
- Intervention effect Soil flooding significantly decreased net photosynthetic rate in young C. lucens.
- Recommendation The authors propose including C. lucens in restoration of degraded riparian forests where it naturally occurs.
