The two-year seedlings of Taxodium distichum, Cinnamomum camphora, C. platyphyllum, Quercus nuttallii and Q. shumardii under the water treatments (CK: normal; W1: shallow flooding stress; W2: deep flooding stress) were studied. And their growth indexes, physiological and biochemical characteristics were analysed systematically to serve the urban forests. The main conclusions were drawn as follows:
1) Shallow flooding stress accelerated the growth in height and biomass of Taxodium distichum and Q...
