Dangers of waterlogged soil or soil with excess of moisture

• Insufficient supply of oxygen, which slows or stops plant growth.
• Accumulation of carbon dioxide, which impedes the growth of plant roots.
• Inhibition of aerobic respiration, limiting energy metabolism and restricting growth and developmental processes.
• Promotes denitrification leading loss of soil fertility
• Leads to accumulation of toxins in the soil
• Promotes rotting of roots
• Photosynthesis decline due to closure of stomata, degradation of chlorophyll
