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.

d t d plants

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.
