Papyrus swamp development in the Upemba Basin, Zaïre: studies of population structure in Cyperus papyrus stands

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1979
The ecology and distribution of papyrus swamps are briefly reviewed together with the ecology, distribution structure and growth characteristics of Cyperus papyrus. Three age-classes of culm are recognized and girth and density of each are recorded along transects through mree swamps in the Upemba Basin of Zaire. A regression of culm-unit biomass on

Better safe than sorry: the unexpected drought tolerance of a wetland plant (Cyperus alternifolius L.). [PDF]

Physiol Plant
Abstract A common assumption of plant hydraulic physiology is that high hydraulic efficiency must come at the cost of hydraulic safety, generating a trade‐off that raises doubts about the possibility of selecting both productive and drought‐tolerant herbaceous crops.
