Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Flooding caused stronger stress responses in L. virgatum.
- Association L. virgatum shifted more aboveground allocation away from reproduction than L. salicaria.
- Intervention effect Under flooding, L. virgatum inflorescence biomass fell 40% more than L. salicaria.
- Association L. virgatum produced 7% more stem aerenchymatous phellum.
- Association L. virgatum had higher reproductive fitness than L. salicaria.
- Observation Lythrum virgatum persisted under flooding.
- Association Lythrum virgatum produced more reproductive biomass under flooded and non-flooded conditions.
- Observation The authors infer L. virgatum can establish in wetlands occupied by L. salicaria.
