Na‐K stoichiometry significantly affected by soil and plant tissues of S. salsa; robust plant tissue Na‐K homeostasis contrasts with weak soil–plant ion coupling; coordinated Na‐K regulation underlies salt adaptation in Suaeda salsa. ABSTRACT Sodium (Na) and potassium (K), along with their physiological trade‐offs, play essential roles in maintaining ...

Environmental stress is generally expected to reduce biodiversity, yet its effects under spatially heterogeneous conditions remain unclear. Along an arid riparian gradient of the Ulungur River, we show that local herbaceous plant diversity peaks in downstream reaches despite severe salinization–alkalization and phosphorus limitation, driven by ...

Salted Peat: The Forgotten Casualty of Rising Sea Level in Freshwater Coastal Tropical Peatlands
This paper invites reflection on the largely overlooked risk that rising sea levels may salinize coastal tropical peatlands, potentially destabilizing vegetation, carbon cycling, and livelihoods. By synthesizing emerging evidence, it highlights a critical blind spot in climate models and adaptation frameworks that warrant urgent scientific and policy ...

Structural Recovery of Overlooked Shrublands Drives Asymmetric Restoration in Dryland Ecosystems
Abstract Current remote sensing of dryland ecosystems is fundamentally limited by a reliance on vegetation indices (“greenness”), which struggle to disentangle mixed pixel signals and fail to capture the non‐photosynthetic structural components critical for resilience.

The increasing problem of global land salinisation and associated multibillion dollar losses in crop production require a better understanding of key physiological mechanisms conferring salinity tolerance in crops.

Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae
Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.

Extreme weather events such as higher temperatures, droughts, and soil salinization are projected to increase as atmospheric CO2 concentrations rise and climate change progresses.

ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

DataSheet_1_Leaf nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry of the halophytes across China.docx
Halophytes play a crucial role in the ecological restoration of saline and alkaline land and hold promising benefits to food security in China. Although a variety of aspects of halophytes have been extensively addressed, there is still a lack of overall ...
