Understand physiological and morphological adaptations that wetland plants have to overcome or minimize stress. Learn about passive gas exchange processes that occur in wetlands vegetation. Understand what an oxidized rhizosphere is and what implications it has for the plant and soil biogeochemistry.

CO2 Dissloved metals sulfides, and organic acids CO2, CH4, and other gases 19 Oxidized Rhizosphere Most adaptations discussed relate to longitudinal transfer of oxygen to root. Oxygen concentration inside root is high, oxygen concentration outside root low/absent Strong concentration gradient can results in radial oxygen loss (ROL) forming an Oxidized Rhizosphere.

W Wetland tl d adapted d t d plants l t h have numerous physiological h i l i l and d morphological adaptations to deal with these stresses. Movement of gases within the plant is the result of a combination of diffusive and convective mechanisms. Radial oxygen loss from roots result in an oxidized rhizosphere that significantly increases the aerobic aerobicanaerobic interface in a wetland and can reduce anaerobic stress on vegetation. Gas exchange is bidirectional: oxygen in - reduced gases out. 26
