- Intervention effect Flooding enhanced Taxodium distichum growth.
- Intervention effect Acer saccharinum increased diameter but not height growth under flooding.
- Intervention effect Fraxinus excelsior increased diameter but not height growth under flooding.
- Intervention effect Quercus robur increased diameter but not height growth under flooding.
- Observation Multiple listed species exhibited reduced growth or survival after flooding.
- Observation Six listed species showed established recovery in the next growing season.
- Observation Six listed species had retarded height growth relative to the flooding period.
- Observation Mortality increased in Betula papyrifera and Fagus grandifolia.
- Observation Flooded Betula pendula appeared to lose frost resistance in the next season.
- Observation Flooded Rhamnus cathartica appeared to lose frost resistance in the next season.
- Mechanism Long flooding was suggested to reduce tree competitive ability by lowering shoot growth and biomass.
