  2. Waterlogging (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterlogging_(agriculture)

    All plants, including crop, require air (specifically, oxygen) to respire, produce energy, and keep their cells alive. In agriculture, waterlogging typically blocks air from getting to the roots. [3] With the exception of rice (Oryza sativa), [4] [5] most crops like maize and potato, [6] [7] [8] are therefore highly intolerant to waterlogging.

  3. Environmental impact of irrigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    Indirect effects are those that have consequences that take longer to develop and may also be longer-lasting. The indirect effects of irrigation include the following: Waterlogging; Soil salination; Ecological damage; Socioeconomic impacts; The indirect effects of waterlogging and soil salination occur directly on the

  4. Physiological plant disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_plant_disorder

    Many annual plants, or plants grown in frost free areas, can suffer from damage when the air temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius). Tropical plants may begin to experience cold damage when the temperature is 42 to 48 °F (5 to 9 °C), symptoms include wilting of the top of the stems and/or leaves, and blackening or ...

  5. Waterlogging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterlogging

    Waterlogging or water logging may refer to: Waterlogging (agriculture), saturation of the soil by groundwater sufficient to prevent or hinder agriculture; Waterlogging (archeology), the exclusion of air from an archeological site by groundwater, preserving artifacts; Underwater logging, the process of harvesting trees that are submerged under water

  6. Ecophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecophysiology

    Plant ecophysiology is concerned largely with two topics: mechanisms (how plants sense and respond to environmental change) and scaling or integration (how the responses to highly variable conditions—for example, gradients from full sunlight to 95% shade within tree canopies—are coordinated with one another), and how their collective effect on plant growth and gas exchange can be ...

  7. Salt marsh dieback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_marsh_dieback

    Waterlogging is the result of too much water in a plant's root system and the surrounding soil, and usually occurs in the inland areas of the marsh. With the increase of surface water, waterlogged soils contain many reduced molecules, which can induce the accumulation of sulfide and other toxic compounds. [5]

  8. Soil salinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_salinity

    It has been shown to ameliorate the negative effects that salinity has such as reduced water usage of plants. [17] Soil salinity activates genes associated with stress conditions for plants. [18] These genes initiate the production of plant stress enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, L-ascorbate oxidase, and Delta 1 DNA polymerase.

  9. Terrestrial plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_plant

    Many terrestrial plants can tolerate extended periods of inundation, and this is often part of the natural habitat of the plant where flooding is common. These plants (termed helophytes) tolerate extended periods of waterlogging around the roots and even complete submersion under flood waters. Growth rates of helophytes decrease significantly ...
