“…An article in "Water and Wastes Engineering" (Dinges, 1976) described the efficiency of water hyacinths and duckweed in removing nutrients and other chemical constituents, including trace organics and metals from water containing sewage. Donaldson and Robinson (1971) found that rhodamine WT was particularly susceptible to uptake by plants.…”

The series of manuals on techniques describes procedures for planning and executing specialized work in water-resources investigations. The material is grouped under major subject headings called "Books" and further subdivided into sections and chapters. Section A of Book 3 is on surface water. The unit of publication, the Chapter, is limited to a narrow field of subject matter. This format permits flexibility in revision and publication as the need arises. Chapter A9 deals with the application of dye tracers for the measurement of time of travel and dispersion in streams. Provisional drafts of chapters are distributed to field offices of the U.S. Geological Survey for their use. These drafts are subject to revision because of experience in use or because of advancement in knowledge, techniques, or equipment. After the technique described in a chapter is sufficiently developed, the chapter is published and is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents,

Root taxa identification in plant mixtures – current techniques and future challenges

et al. 2012

Background Studying root biomass, root system distribution and belowground interactions is essential for understanding the composition of plant communities, the impact of global change, and terrestrial biogeochemistry. Most soil samples and minirhizotron pictures hold roots of more than one species or plant individual. The identification of taxa by their roots would allow species-specific questions to be posed; information about root affiliation to plant individuals could be used to determine intra-specific competition. Scope Researchers need to be able to discern plant taxa by roots as well as to quantify abundances in mixed root samples. However, roots show less distinctive features that permit identification than aboveground organs. This review discusses the primary use of available methods, outlining applications, shortcomings and future developments. Conclusion Methods are either non-destructive, e.g. visual examination of root morphological criteria in situ, or require excavated and excised root samples. Among the destructive methods are anatomical keys, chemotaxonomic approaches and molecular markers. While some methods allow for discerning the root systems of individual plants, others can distinguish roots on the functional group or plant taxa level; methods such as IR spectroscopy and qPCR allow for quantifying the root biomass proportion of species without manual sorting.

Evapotranspiration

The principal goal of evapotranspiration (ET) research is to find methods for calculating the value of ET under any given conditions. Progress in the United States since 1970 has centered on understanding the water relations of plants, particularly the limitation of transpiration by variable stomatal aperture. Readers who compare this report with the preceding one [Ekern, 1971] will notice a change in emphasis from ET as a physically controlled process to ET as a physiologically controlled process. This is not due solely to the bias of the author but represents a real shift in ET research toward the stomata and their operation.
