Saturation du sol et asphyxie des racines. Quand les couches superficielles du sol, voire même les horizons du sol d'une profondeur pouvant aller jusqu'à un mètre, sont saturées, les racines sont soumises à des conditions asphyxiantes en raison de la très faible diffusivité de l'oxygène dissous dans l'eau.  1, record 1, French, - asphyxie%20des%20racines
