Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Drought-treated alder showed no height increase.
- Observation Waterlogged plants increased in height over nine weeks.
- Observation Control plants increased in height over nine weeks.
- Intervention effect Flooded plant water status was slightly more negative but essentially similar to control over 63 days.
- Intervention effect Drought water status rapidly departed from control.
- Intervention effect Drought plants had the lowest turgor-loss water potential, −2.31 MPa, with significant treatment differences.
- Mechanism Alder has limited drought tolerance and appears to rely on water loss avoidance.
- Recommendation High flooding tolerance may permit use at periodically waterlogged sites.
- Recommendation The species is recommended for wet urban environments and stormwater facilities.
