- Intervention effect Increased groundwater salinity lowered plant water potentials.
- Intervention effect Increased groundwater salinity increased osmotic adjustment.
- Intervention effect Increased groundwater salinity did not significantly increase leaf sodium concentration.
- Intervention effect Leaf conductance was higher with higher salinity.
- Association Low water potential was associated with reduced leaf size.
- Association Low water potential was associated with reduced leaf area per plant.
- Intervention effect Specific leaf weight was unaffected by low water potential induced by salinity.
- Intervention effect transpiration ratio was unaffected by low water potential induced by salinity.
- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen availability increased growth rates.

- Intervention effect Net assimilation rates increased with nitrogen availability.
- Association Relative growth rates depended more on plant size than treatment conditions.
- Observation Plant responses in the simulated phreatophytic environment were similar to field predictions.
