Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation decreased willow stem hydraulic conductance versus no irrigation.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation did not change vessel diameter.
- Observation Vessels in three diameter classes comprised 86% and contributed over 75% of theoretical conductance.
- Observation The 50 to 60 µm class comprised less than 10% of vessels but over 20% of conductance across treatments.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation increased wood glucan content by 9 to 16.4% versus controls.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation decreased wood extractives by 35.3 to 36.4% versus controls.
- Intervention effect Fertigation increased the proportion of tension wood.
- Association Tension wood proportion was highly correlated with glucan content.
- Intervention effect Wastewater irrigation enabled phytofiltration without impairing willow physiology.
