Soil flooding in wetlands is accompanied by changes in soil physical and chemical
characteristics. These changes include the lowering of soil redox potential (Eh) leading to
increasing demand for oxygen within the soil profile as well as production of soil phytotoxins
that are by-products of soil reduction and thus, imposing potentially severe stress on plant
roots. Various methods are utilized for quantifying plant responses to reducing soil
conditions that include measurement of radial oxygen transport, plant enzymatic responses …
