| Popis: | Growth and macronutrient uptake in two species of cattail, Typha latifolia and T. domingensis, were determined during an annual growth cycle in Par Pond, a thermally‐graded nuclear reactor cooling reservoir in South Carolina. Shoots of the same age class were sampled periodically from the initiation of growth in early spring to senescence in late autumn. Although differences between thermal regimes were mostly statistically non‐significant, growth and macronutrient uptake, especially of N, P, and K, tended to be enhanced by elevated water temperatures. The pattern for growth and N, P, and K uptake in decreasing order were: “Warm”; > “Intermediate”; > “Ambient”; regimes. The non‐significant statistics were attributed to large between‐stand and between‐temperature regime variations. Both Typha species exhibited sharp declines in N, P, and K concentrations in the shoots, and some decline in the rhizomes, early in the growing season, followed by either a more gradual decline or leveling off of concen... |
