Claim · model-written summary
polyculture with T. angustifolia extracted P at up to 67 kg ha −1 yr −1.
Verbatim
e0“Thus, P extraction rates were moderate: up to 38 kg ha −1 yr −1 in the Azolla monoculture, and 67 kg ha −1 yr −1 in the polyculture with T. angustifolia .”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Open water controls showed substantial phosphorus mobilisation and were dominated by microalgae or emergent macrophytes.
- Intervention effect Azolla cultivation lowered surface water P, but concentrations remained in the most P-rich soil.
- Association Azolla weevil infestation severely constrained Azolla growth.
- Observation Azolla monoculture extracted P at up to 38 kg ha −1 yr −1.
- Observation Methane emissions were substantial and dominated by ebullition across treatments.
- Intervention effect Azolla cultivation did not affect methane emissions.
- Recommendation The authors identify Azolla cultivation as a potential wetland transition practice recovering P.
