Response of emergent macrophytes to experimental nutrient and salinity additions

Original language description

1. Nutrient additions often result in species dominance/compositional changes in wetland ecosystems, but the impact of nutrients may be constrained by different salinity levels. Wetlands of northern Belize, distributed along a salinity gradient, are strongly phosphorus-limited and dominated largely by three species of emergent macrophytes: Eleocharis cellulosa Torr., Cladium jamaicense Crantz and Typha domingensis Pers. 2. We conducted a mesocosm experiment to assess changes in growth characteristics [biomass allocation, plant height, relative growth rate (RGR), rhizome length] and nutrient uptake of these three species in response to simultaneous changes in levels of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and salinity. 3. The growth characteristics of Typha and Eleocharis responded positively to N and especially P addition, whereas the growth response of Cladium was largely insignificant. The RGR of Typha increased under P addition, while RGR of Eleocharis increased with N and decreased
