Growth of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) plants affected by salinity

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
A greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effect of salt stress on the growth of the cape gooseberry. Sixty-seven-day-old cape gooseberry plants were surveyed in perlite pot cultures salinized with varying concentrations of NaCl, i.e.

Specific leaf area predicts dryland litter decomposition via two mechanisms [PDF]

, 2017
Litter decomposition plays important roles in carbon and nutrient cycling. In dryland, both microbial decomposition and abiotic degradation (by UV light or other forces) drive variation in decomposition rates, but whether and how litter traits and ...

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Leaf Trait Divergence and Elevational Adaptation in Endangered Fagus hayatae: Conservation Insights for an East Asian Paleoendemic

Ecology and Evolution
Fagus hayatae Palib. ex Hayata, an endangered East Asian paleoendemic species, dominates in Sichuan's Micang Mountain while persisting in fragmented populations across Taiwan and mainland China. Nevertheless, niche differentiation and adaptive strategies

Evaluating inter and intra-specific variation in leaf mass and area [PDF]

, 2017
Tree leaf area and mass are small but important components of forest ecosystems. There have been many efforts to model leaf mass, but face challenges in doing so because leaf mass varies within and between tree species, location, and time.

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics for grape production and solar energy efficiency in a Mediterranean vineyard

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapevine production is increasingly challenged by global warming, with global wine output falling to a six‐decade low in 2024. At the same time, the vine and wine sector faces growing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Agrivoltaics, which integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) modules into plant production systems, offers a potential pathway to ...

Leaf Functional Traits Diversity of Mango Wild Relatives (Mangifera spp.)

Jurnal Biodjati
There are 69 species of Mangifera distributed worldwide, and approximately 35-40 of these species are found in tropical Asia. This widespread distribution naturally affects the functional characteristics of Mangifera species.
