Resumen:
Lotus tenuis was able to tolerate two weeks of flooding at higher evaporative demand, typical of early summer season, but showing an important reduction in plant growth. This contrast with the typical response of L. tenuis at early spring, in which plants can adjust their physiological behavior in a way that plant biomass accumulation is not affected by flooding. The study denotes the importance of seasonal variations of flooding events on plant performance of L. tenuis, and provides information that contributes to the knowledge of this forage legume and its utilization in agricultural areas subject to periodic flooding events.
