Co-regulation of water and energy in the spatial heterogeneity of drought resistance and resilience
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Vegetation resistance and resilience to drought are linked to the stability of terrestrial ecosystems under climate change. However, the factors driving the spatial heterogeneity in drought resistance and resilience remain poorly understood. In the study,

Response of Watermelon to Drought Stress and Its Drought-Resistance Evaluation. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)This study investigated the response of watermelon seedlings to drought stress by assessing the growth, physiological, and biochemical indices using a pot-based continuous drought method. Drought stress indices, phenotypic plasticity indices, and membership function values were calculated, followed by a correlation analysis, principal component ...
