The aim of the present study was to test the correlation between radial oxygen loss (ROL), photosynthesis, and nutrient removal based on the hypothesis that ROL was principally a positive physiological process of wetland plants, and was correlated with photosynthesis and nutrient removal. Thirty five emergent wetland plants were used for the measurement of ROL, photosynthesis, and nutrient removal in microscale wetlands in a climate chamber. Significant differences among thirty five species were tested in ROL, photosynthetic rate, and nutrient removal rates. ROL was positively correlated with photosynthetic rate (P=0.000), transpiration rate (P=0.005), root activity (P=0.000), root biomass of D <= 1 mm (P=0.002), above-ground biomass (P=0.030), leaf biomass (P=0.023), root porosity (P=0.000), maximum root length (P=0.011). and removal rates of TN and TP (P=0.000, 0.002), while negatively related to root biomass of D >= 3 mm, and root longevity (P=0.022, 0.007). All the indices which were positively correlated with ROL, also positively correlated with plant growth. The results suggest that ROL may be an active physiological process or at least involves physiological processes of wetland plants. Significant differences existed among different wetland plants in ROL, photosynthesis, and nutrient removal, which should be considered in plant selection for constructed wetlands.
