Wetland plants transport oxygen to belowground tissues to survive in anoxic sediments, and
simultaneously conduct methane (CH 4) from the sediment to the atmosphere. Although …

Abstract Background According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
2007, natural wetlands contribute 20–39% to the global emission of methane. The range in …

Internal transport of gases is crucial for vascular plants inhabiting aquatic, wetland or flood‐
prone environments. Diffusivity of gases in water is approximately 10 000 times slower than …

Enhanced development of gas-spaces beyond that due to the partial cell separation
normally found in ground parenchymas and their derivatives creates tissue commonly …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Non-marine aquatic vascular plants generally show broad distributional ranges. Climatic
factors seem to have limited effects on their distributions, besides the determination of major …

Molecular oxygen is one of the most important reactants in biogeochemical cycles. Due to its
low solubility in water, the consumption of oxygen leads to the development of oxic–anoxic …

All higher plants require water to be freely available for their establishment and survival. On
the other hand, water can be a very effective barrier to gas exchange. In conjunction with …

This paper reviews the 13C isotopic fractionations of the three main modes of CH4 transport
from wetlands: diffusion, ebullition and via emergent aquatic plants. Aquatic plants employ …

Aquatic macrophytes, often also called hydrophytes, are key components of aquatic and
wetland ecosystems. This review is to briefly summarizes various macrophyte classifications …
