<p>Bar groups with different capital letters indicate significant differences (<i>P</i> < 0.05) between the four levels of alkalinity in the rhizome-connected treatment. Bar groups with different lowercase letters indicate significant differences (<i>P</i> < 0.05) between the four levels of alkalinity in the rhizome-severed treatment. Asterisks indicate significant differences (<i>P</i> < 0.05) between rhizome-connected and rhizome-severed treatments.</p
