Kao-Kniffin et al. (2011)

Shoot biomass of plants grown from rhizome clippings in pots filled with a mix of equal parts of wetland sediment and topsoil within controlled-environment facilities, where they were maintained for four months, flooded with water to a depth of 2.5 cm above the submerged soil surface
24%

 

 

Kao-Kniffin et al. (2011)

Root biomass of plants grown from rhizome clippings in pots filled with a mix of equal parts of wetland sediment and topsoil within controlled-environment facilities, where they were maintained for four months, flooded with water to a depth of 2.5 cm above the submerged soil surface
40%

 

 

Sullivan et al. (2010)

Total biomass of plants grown out-of-doors at Pellston, Michigan (USA) from transplanted rhizomes for one full growing season in separate three-gallon pots filled with a mixture of 70% sand and 30% commercial potting mix (consisting of 80% reed sedge peat and 20% sand and perlite) placed within 1.22-m-diameter plastic pools set in the ground within open-top chambers, where the water level in the pools was maintained at the height of the pots, resulting in 1-2 cm of water atop the soil surface
60%
