ABSTRACT In desert basins where phreatophyte species are common, the contribution of groundwater evapotranspiration (ETg) and vadose zone ET (ETsoil) to total ET remains an important uncertainty. Here, ETg and ETsoil, and proportional contributions of each to total ET, were estimated for a phreatophyte (shrub)‐dominated desert ecosystem in California ...

ABSTRACT Chemically distinctive features such as high salinity, low nutrient contents, and extremes of pH can limit the development of a vegetation cover on soil‐free bare ground. This study synthesises our previous work on the geoecology of numerous chemically distinctive bare sites in the South Island and adds a temporal component within the last ...

Taxonomic revision of Chenopodiaceae in Himalaya and Tibet [PDF]
The composition of many Chenopodiaceae genera in different parts of Himalaya and Tibet has been insufficiently known or contradictory. A revision of the family in Himalaya including Bhutan, Nepal, parts of India (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir ...

Lotus tenuis tolerates combined salinity and waterlogging: maintaining O2 transport to roots and expression of an NHX1-like gene contribute to regulation of Na+ transport [PDF]
Salinity and waterlogging interact to reduce growth for most crop and pasture species. The combination of these stresses often cause a large increase in the rate of Na+ and Cl− transport to shoots; however, the mechanisms responsible for this are largely

ABSTRACT International research on disturbed landscapes has shown that active erosion of soil‐free bare ground can maintain distinctive local geological features and biodiversity by preventing incursion of a robust vegetation cover. In this study, we have tested this approach by removing exotic vegetation and associated proto‐soil that had encroached ...

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
ABSTRACT Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought to be genetically determined and fixed in plants, accumulating evidence suggests that sex expression can change reversibly even within one ...

Vegetation development in sown field margins and on adjacent ditch banks [PDF]
The creation of temporal and newly sown field margins for 6 years is a common agri-environment scheme (AES) in the Netherlands. Conservation profits resulting from AES vary over different areas and need further studying.
