Some lakeside cities may suffer from urban waterlogging owing to the backwater effect caused by rise of lake water levels under a extreme rainfall scenario in basin, but it is not suitable for large-scale gray drainage infrastructure upgrading high-density built-up areas. This study, as per this, constructs blue-green-gray reconstruction planning and design mode alleviate rainstorm city. Extend...

We determined the enzyme activities involved in the aerobic and anaerobic respiration of Kosteletzkya virginica on the 0, 10, 20, and 30 d of waterlogging to understand its respiratory characteristics. We also determined the enzyme activities on the 10 and 20 d of recovery after water drainage. Non-waterlogged seedlings were regarded as control during this experiment. All waterlogged seedlings ...

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the solubility and redox species of antimony (Sb) in a relocated shooting range soil and its uptake by Lolium perenne L. and Holcus lanatus L. under different water regimes. After 1-week waterlogging, the total Sb concentration in soil solution decreased from ∼110 μg L(-1) to <20 μg L(-1), and slowly increased over the following 4 weeks, with the di...

Waterlogging, one of the notorious abiotic stressors, retards the growth of apple plants and reduces their production. Thus, it is an urgent agenda for scientists to identify the suitable remedies for this problem. In the current study, we found that melatonin significantly improved the tolerance of apple seedlings against waterlogging stress. This was indicated by the reduced chlorosis and wil...

Waterlogging has been suggested to affect carbon (C) turnover in wetlands, but how it affects C allocation and stocks remains unclear in alpine wetlands. Using in situ (13)CO2 pulse labelling, we investigated C allocation in both waterlogged and non-waterlogged sites in the Zoigê wetlands on the Tibetan Plateau in August 2011. More than 50% of total (13)C fixed by photosynthesis was lost via sh...

Waterlogging is a widespread limiting factor for wheat production throughout the world specially irrigated and high rainfall environments. The important biological consequence of waterlogging is the deficiency (hypoxia) or complete absence (anoxia) of oxygen in soil environment which restricts the growth, development and finally yield in wheat. The tolerant genotypes of wheat can adapt to trans...

Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a typical shallow-rooted fruit plant with high respiratory intensity and oxygen demand, which makes it highly susceptible to oxygen-deficient soil conditions resulting from waterlogging. Rootstock waterlogging resistance essential the performance of cultivated peaches under stress. In comparison Prunus var. (‘Maotao’, M) davidiana (Carr.) C. de Vos (‘Shanta...

BACKGROUND Tropical peat swamp forests (TPSF) are globally significant carbon stores, sequestering carbon mainly as phenolic polymers and phenolic compounds (particularly as lignin and its derivatives) in peat layers, in plants, and in the acidic blackwaters. Previous studies show that TPSF plants have particularly high levels of phenolic compounds which inhibit the decomposition of organic mat...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most susceptible cereal species to excess moisture stress. Waterlogging-induced hypoxia causes major morphological, physiological, and metabolic changes, some of which are regulated by action plant growth regulators signal molecules including nitric oxide. Recent studies have evidenced participation phytoglobins in attenuating hypoxic stress during conditions ...

In the context of climatic change, more heavy precipitation and more frequent flooding and waterlogging events threaten the productivity of arable farmland. Furthermore, crops were not selected to cope with flooding- and waterlogging-induced oxygen limitation. In general, low oxygen stress, unlike other abiotic stresses (e.g., cold, high temperature, drought and saline stress), received little ...
