Reducing excessive phosphorus (P) from both soils and eutrophic waters is attractive to achieve environmental P balance, and P-phytoextraction by amphibious plants with great biomass and P uptake is an amazing method, as already reported for P-accumulating plant, Polygonum hydropiper. However, it is still unknown how widespread high P tolerance and great P accumulation is among species in the Polygonaceae, and if there are new amphibious superstars used for P-phytoextraction. We used six Polygonum species and three non-Polygonum species to compare P accumulation and removal capability in hydroponics and soils with different P treatments. In high P hydroponics, all species showed superiority in growth and P accumulation without P toxicity, except for F. multiflora. In high P soils, all species showed much better growth performance with green leaves at 8 weeks, with shoot biomass being 3.60-29.49 g plant |
