Title: Growth of wetland plants exposed to various biotic and abiotic factors in laboratory experiments

Abstract:

Accumulation of plant remains caused a successive increase of the studied shore part in the eutrophic Mikołajskie lake. Five zones have been distinguished which differred by the period of formation and the soil conditions. Studies were done on the effect of these conditions on the growth of marsh plants. Culture experiments were conducted in a greenhouse. Significant differences were found between the numbers of seedlings and species of germinating plants on soils from various zones. Soil age and water level had an essential effect on the plant growth.
