Which risk arises, given increased soil anoxia around wetland plant roots affecting nitrate reductase?

💡 Explanation

Ammonium toxicity increases when soil anoxia inhibits nitrate reductase activity which prevents assimilation; because nitrate cannot proceed to ammonium via nitrate reductase. Ammonium, rather than being used for plant growth, accumulates becoming toxic; therefore leading to damage instead.
