Luxury Uptake and Removal of Phosphorus from Water Column by Representative Aquatic Plants and Its Implication for Wetland Management

Table 4

Correlation coefficients ( 𝑟 ) among the luxury uptake of P (or total P in plant tissue) and residual DIP (or left over P) in the experimental basins supplied with five different P concentrations (i.e., 0.5, 2.5, 5, 10, 30, and 50 mg/L).

Residual DIP in experimental basins
P Supply (in mg/L)

0.52.55103050

Total P in plant tissue−0.96−0.93−0.83a−0.72b−0.81b−0.94

aCorrelation is significant at 0.0001 level (1 tailed).
bCorrelation is significant at 0.005 level (1 tailed).
