Summary

Phytotoxins have been monitored in peaty forest soils subject to waterlogging. The effect in solution culture of these phytotoxins on Sitka Spruce and Lodgepole Pine cuttings has been studied and compared with the effects of anoxia. The relative significance of these factors in the field situation is discussed and a possible relationship between root ventilating power and response to soil waterlogging is outlined.
