Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • Figure 1.
    Figure 1.

    Root length versus treatment for spotted gum, brush box, oriental plane, and London plane (treatment phase). Differing letters between specific waterlogging treatments for each species denote significant median differences at P < 0.05.

  • Figure 2.
    Figure 2.

    Root length versus treatment for spotted gum, brush box, oriental plane, and London plane (recovery phase). Differing letters between specific waterlogging treatments for each species denote significant median differences at P < 0.05.

  • Figure 3.
    Figure 3.

    Shoot dry weight versus treatment for spotted gum, brush box, oriental plane, and London plane (treatment phase). Differing letters between specific waterlogging treatments for each species denote significant median differences at P < 0.05.

  • Figure 4.
    Figure 4.

    Shoot dry weight versus treatment for spotted gum, brush box, oriental plane, and London plane (recovery phase). Differing letters between specific waterlogging treatments for each species denote significant median differences at P < 0.05.

  • Figure 5.
    Figure 5.

    Morphological root and shoot characteristics of brush box, oriental plane, London plane, and spotted gum subjected to waterlogging (✓ = possesses characteristic; x = does not possess characteristic; n/a = not applicable to dormant, bare-root transplants).
