Eco-Morphological and Physiological Behaviours of Atriplex halimus L. Under Different Natural Habitats [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural SciencesAtriplex halimus is a widely distributed species in the Mediterranean coastal areas and can grow under saline and non-saline habitats. Plant leaves were collected from two habitats; non-saline (1.14 dSm-1) and saline (30.63 dSm-1) at Borg Alarab area ...

Leaf trait divergence between Azadirachta indica (exotic) and native species of the northern Brazilian coast [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe introduction of exotic plants can pose ecological threats as they may become invasive. We investigated leaf traits potentially linked to competitive advantage and invasiveness in Azadirachta indica, a widely used exotic tree in northeastern Brazil’s ...

Leaf plasticity of species under different light intensities in an urban rainforest
Diversitas Journal, 2023 Leaf characteristics of plants are useful to understand vegetation changes under different environmental pressures because species deal with variations in the levels of luminosity during the process of ecological succession.

Global Ecology and ConservationUnderstanding how specific leaf area (SLA) influences insect herbivory is crucial for predicting plant-herbivore interactions in forest ecosystems. However, most existing studies rely on species- or community-level trait averages, overlooking the fine ...

Journal of Vegetation ScienceABSTRACT Aims Specific leaf area (SLA), the ratio of leaf surface area to dry mass, is a key functional trait widely used to characterize resource allocation to light interception in plants. However, inconsistencies in SLA measurement—particularly whether petiolar tissues (such as petioles and ...

Response of growth patterns in sweet pepper to different NPK levels
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008 This work was conducted to study the effect of five NPK fertigation levels on the growth rate of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Bruyo) grown under the plastic greenhouse using different growth analysis formulas. Leaf area ratio (LAR), specific leaf
