Schematic presentation of the element cycles in the root zone of emergent wetland plants. The arrow at the bottom indicates the preferential use of alternative electron acceptors at limiting availability of oxygen. Oxygen is transported from the atmosphere to the root zone by the plants, whereas methane, nitrous oxide and dinitrogen gas flow in the opposite direction.
