Article Synopsis
- Traits that help terrestrial plants survive flooding include shoot elongation control, formation of aerenchyma for gas exchange, and leaf gas films that improve underwater gas exchange.
- A study was conducted to see how these leaf gas films affect plant species distribution along a flood gradient, involving laboratory experiments and field observations of 95 species.
- Results indicated that leaf gas films were more prevalent in locations that were rarely flooded, but the expected relationship between gas film formation and species composition along the flood gradient was not confirmed.
