Abstract
Above- and below-ground production and morphological characteristics of papyrus wetlands were measured at monthly intervals from July 2005 to June 2006 at Rubondo Island, Lake Victoria, Tanzania. The average value of live culm biomass (5,789 ± 435 g DW m−2) was higher than that of umbel biomass (2,902 ± 327 g DW m−2) by 50%. Root to rhizome means biomass value ratio was 1:1.8, rhizome biomass (4,144 ± 452 g DW m−2) being higher than roots biomass (2,254 ± 314 g DW m−2) by 45%.
