← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism causes reduced nutrient uptake in waterlogged eucalyptus trees?
A)Anaerobic respiration limitations✓
B)Increased xylem cell turgidity
C)Enhanced symbiotic fungal activity
D)Reduced root transmembrane potential
💡 Explanation
Waterlogging causes anaerobic conditions, therefore reducing ATP supply via anaerobic respiration limitations, thus impeding active transport of nutrients into the roots because reduced O2 restricts energy availability, rather than increased turgidity from water uptake or fungal benefits.
