[Effect of iron plaque on root surfaces on phosphorus uptake of two wetland plants].
In situ micro-suction cups were used to collect samples of soil solution with Arundo donax Linn and Typha latifolia from defined segments at rhizosphere in field. The experiment was conducted to elucidate the contribution of iron plaque while wetland plants were used to remove phosphorus. The reddish iron plaque was observed and measured on the surfaces of roots of Arundo donax Linn and Typha latifolia in the field, 20,170.8 mg/kg (fresh weight) for Arundo donax Linn and 7640.3 mg/kg (fresh weight) for Typha latifolia were collected. Olsen-P contents of Arundo donax Linn with iron plaque were 28.85 mg/kg, 46.2% more than that of without, 34.99 mg/kg for Typha latifolia 21.9% more than that of without. The phosphate concentrations in the in situ rhizosphere soil solution of Arundo donax Linn with iron plaque were 0.65 mg/kg, 9.2% more than that of without, 0.56 mg/kg for Typha latifolia, 33.9% more than that of without. The phosphorus contents adsorbed by iron plaque were 81.7% for Arundo donax Linn and 85.7% for Typha latifolia of the wetland plants with iron plaque. Phosphate use efficiency of Arundo donax Linn with iron plaque was 16.5% more than that of without, 31.4% for Typha latifolia. The contents of phosphorus of single plant of the two wetland plants with iron plaque are higher than that of without. Due to adsorb phosphate with iron plaque, the transfer speeds of phosphate from non-rhizosphere to rhizosphere and from soil to soil solution are increasing. The phosphorus contents with iron plaque accumulated at rhizosphere and depleted at rhizosphere without iron plaque of Arundo donax Linn and Typha latifolia.
