ABSTRACT
The aerenchyma (air-space) tissue in the wetland macrophyte Spartina alterniflora conveys sufficient oxygen to roots for predominately aerobic respiration moderately, but not highly, reduced substrates. Continuously flooded plants survive by respiring anaerobically, although growth is decreased. Two metabolic adaptations flooding are displayed this species, depending on degree of soil reduction.
