Salinity effects on germination and seedlings biomass of Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum: an endangered species

Journal of the Professional Association for Cactus Development, 2015
Cacti are particularly sensitive to habitat disturbance since they have slow growth and a longlife cycle. Their development and establishment depend on several factors, includingenvironmental requirements for germination and establishment of seedlings ...

Biomechanics of the columnar cactus Pachycereus pringlei [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 1999
We report the longitudinal variations in stiffness and bulk density of tissue samples drawn from along the length of two Pachycereus pringlei plants measuring 3.69 and 5.9 m in height to determine how different tissues contribute to the mechanical stability of these massive vertical organs.

Plant Responses to Anomalous Heat and Drought Events in the Sonoran Desert. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
What are the impacts of region‐wide heat and drought events on desert vegetation? This multi‐scale assessment shows that columnar cacti and succulent trees show acute plant stress across the Sonoran Desert. The expected increased frequency of heat and drought events will likely have landscape‐wide impacts that could fundamentally reshape populations of

In situ ambient vibration modal analysis of saguaro cacti (Carnegiea gigantea). [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise The structural and dynamic properties of columnar cacti are key inputs for stability analyses; however, no previous studies have been able to resolve these properties from full‐scale tests in situ. Methods I present an approach using non‐destructive ambient vibration data to measure the resonance properties (modal frequencies and mode ...

The leaf-footed cactus bug is not a cactus specialist: Narnia femorata feeds, fights, and mates on thistle. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We recently found a population of the leaf‐footed cactus bug, Narnia femorata (Hemiptera: Coreidae), a historical cactus specialist, living on thistle. When we compared this thistle population with a population feeding on cactus, the population living on thistle had longer mouthparts than the population found on cactus, although this difference only ...
