Plant traits of Vallisneria australis

Description / purpose

Individual clones/plants of Vallisneria australis were sampled from a Delta location. Specimens were sampled from the center of each patch (<200 m2) or bed (≥200 m2) to control for variation within each bed. Four (4) individual plants (rhizome with complete vertical shoots) were collected by hand and transported back to the laboratory in Ziplocs. Leaves per shoot, leaf area, shoot height, shoot width, rhizome length, rhizome diameter along the internodal segment of the main rhizome, and wet and dry biomass were measured for all plants. Those data are included in this Science Tracker report.
