『Abstract
Four wetland plants were selected to study the effect of Fe plaque
formation on phosphorus (P) accumulation in the rhizosphere and
P uptake. There were significant positive correlations between
the sorbed Fe content in the rhizosphere and the Fe plaque concentration
(r2=0.8454, p<0.01) and between P accumulation and
the amount of the sorbed Fe in the rhizosphere (r2=0.8460,
p<0.01). The concentration of the Fe plaque on the root surface
of four wetland plants species tested followed the order of Zizaniz
cedu Ciflora Turez > Scirpus tabernaemontani Gmel >
Iris pseudacorus Linn > Canna indica Linn. The Fe
plaque formation increased P uptake, apparently through enhancing
the diffusion of P into the roots of the wetland plants; this
resulted in increased P concentration in shoots. However, this
effect decreased in the higher Fe plaque concentration status,
apparently due to physical blocking and immobilization of P by
Fe plaque. Therefore, adequate surface coverage of roots of wetland
plant by the Fe plaque would increase the uptake of P by wetland
plants, which depend on the optimum amendment of Fe. These effects
also varied with wetland plant species.
