Aims Radial oxygen loss (ROL) for macrophytes is intimately involved in their survival and growth, thus detailed characterizations of ROL and its implication for geochemical processes are of particular interest. We experimentally investigated ROL patterns from the submerged macrophyte species Potamogeton crispus and determined how light, temperature and O-2 content in overlying water regulate O-2 micro-distributions in the rhizosphere. Method Planar optodes were firstly used for non-destructive imaging of the O-2 micro-distributions around single roots of P. crispus planted in rhizotrons containing sediment. The dynamic changes in below-ground O-2 concentrations and oxygenation expansion at different light intensities (0-216 mu mol photons m(-2)), temperatures (14 and 25 degrees C) and O-2 content in overlying waters (0-256 mu moL(-1)) were quantified. Results P. crispus-mediated ROL is predominantly localized to the root apices with an average rate of 168.1 +/- 21.4 nmol m(-2) s(-1) under nearly natural conditions (light, saturated overlying water at 14 degrees C), maintaining a visible oxygenated rhizosphere zone with a radius of 1.33 +/- 0.21 mm. ROL is closely correlated with light intensity, suggesting photosynthetic O-2 evolution. In darkness, the rhizosphere O-2 availability is significantly reduced and strongly affected by the O-2 content in overlying water, which passively diffuses into the plant leaves. Elevated temperatures lead to diminished ROL as a result of increased O-2 demand of the surrounding sediment. Conclusion A high O-2 microheterogeneity around P. crispus root apices is firstly demonstrated, and we provide direct empirical evidences that ROL are regulated dynamically by the shifting light, temperature and O-2 content in overlying water.
