The Canopy Structure and Microclimate of Papyrus (Cyperus Papyrus) Swamps

The Journal of Ecology, 1985
(1) Papyrus swamps at Lake Naivasha, Kenya and at Busoro, Rwanda, were investigated. The structure of the papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) canopy is described. (2) Aerial biomass was 3245 g m-2 at Naivasha, and 1384 g m-2 at Busoro while the culm densities were 12.7 m-2 and 17.9 m-2, respectively.

Spectral discrimination of papyrus vegetation (Cyperus papyrus L.) in swamp wetlands using field spectrometry

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2009
Techniques for mapping and monitoring wetland species are critical for their sustainable management. Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.) is one of the most important species-rich habitats that characterize the Greater St. Lucia Wetlands Park (GSWP) in South Africa.

Primary productivity of papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) in a tropical swamp; Lake Naivasha, Kenya

Biomass, 1989
Abstract Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) standing biomass and the primary productivity of undisturbed and previously harvested areas of papyrus was measured in Lake Naivasha swamp, Kenya. Papyrus culm density in undisturbed swamp was estimated to be 13·1±1·9 culms m−2 and aerial biomass was 3602 g m−2.

Nutritive value of papyrus (Cyperus papyrus, Cyperaceae), a tropical emergent macrophyte

Economic Botany, 1989
Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus, Cyperaceae) covers large areas in tropical African wetlands. Analysis of its nutritive value has revealed that crude protein is higher in umbels than culms. Ruminai dry matter digestibility of papyrus is, however, higher in culms than umbels.

Investigations on rhizoplane actinobacteria communities of Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) from an Egyptian wetland

Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, 2002
Wetlands have important global ecological functions, which include carbon storage and water interception. Wetland contributes to the maintenance of regional and global biodiversity. Though many important wetland ecological functions are based on microbial metabolism, we have scanty knowledge on microbial diversity in wetlands. Plant rhizoplane habitats

Hemicelluloses from the stalk of Cyperus papyrus

Phytochemistry, 1972
Abstract The alkali soluble hemicelluloses of Cyperus papyrus have been examined and a pure arabinoglucuronoxylan has been isolated. Structural studies showed that the xylan has a DP n of ca. 57 and consists of a main chain of β(1 → 4) linked d -xylopyranosyl residues to which are attached an average of 3·2 l -arabinofuranosyl residues ...
