Abstract

Water is an important ecological factor for plants and the soil water is a critical factor determining the distributional pattern of plant species on earth. Different plant species are adapted to different degrees of water or moisture availability prevailing in their habitats and are categorized either as xerophytes, mesophytes or hydrophytes. Majority of the wild and crop plants belong to the ecological group mesophytes and are adapted to moderate soil water content. This group of plants performs better under this moderate availability of soil water. Whenever the soil water availability increases to higher degrees during water logging, such plants face the water stress with consequences of decreased growth and survival. Flooding is an environmental stress which negatively influences the growth and biomass production in crop plants. The impact of flooding on growth and survival may be direct on the plant, or it may modify the habitat conditions of the plant and thus bring about its impact on the plants indirectly. Some plants are tolerant to water logging, and in them, the impact of flooding is significantly little as compared to the nontolerant species. The flooding is known to affect and modify the conditions and habitat features of plants as well as directly impacting their survival, growth and reproduction.
