| Summary: | This study estimates phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) gains and losses during the growth, death, and two years of decomposition of sawgrass and cattail along a gradient of surface water nutrient concentrations in Water Conservation Area 2A. Annual rates of P and N allocation to growing leaves, nutrient loss through translocation and/or leaching from dying leaves and retention in dead leaves all increased with soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and nitrate enrichment in surface water. Rates of each of these processes were accelerated in cattail in comparison to sawgrass. | |
