Abstract:Nutrient resorption from senescing leaves and shoots decreases the nutrient
losses associated with biomass turnover and represents a significant
component of mineral nutrient economy. In submerged aquatic plants, N and P
resorption efficiencies (REN, REP) from senescing leaves or shoots are high
(usually >40% in dry weight, DW), but K resorption efficiency (REK) is
usually very low or zero. The free-floating aquatic fern Salvinia natans has
a linear, modular shoot structure exhibiting stee… Show more
