Water is a vital resource for plant survival, growth and distribution, and it is of significance to explore mechanisms of plant water-relations regulation and responses to drought in ecophysiology and global change ecology. Plants adapt to different climates and soil water regimes and develop...

Seasonal drought occurs frequently and restricts plant growth in karst area. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are important biological components in karst ecosystem, which have positive effects on plants' water absorption and growth and could enhance the ability of plants to resist karst drought. ...

Based on the 3-year-old Cyclocarya paliurus seedlings, the physiological effects of acid rain on it's seedlings were studied by acid rain with simulated sulfuric acid pH values of 3.5, 4.5 and 5.6. The maximum photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, intercellular CO₂...

Caragana is a shrub genus with high ecological and economic value for development, and also an important plant resource for ecological amelioration in Northwest China. Drought-induced water stress has the effect on their growth, development and physiological metabolism. This paper summarizes the...

A new sweet cherry rootstock cultivar 'Jingchun 2' was derived from interspecific hybrids of sour cherry(Prunus cerasus)and Chinese cherry (P. pseudocerasus). It is easy propagation and has very good grafting compatibility with most sweet cherry cultivars. 'Jingchun 2' could keep very slight injury ...

In order to find out the growth law of Pueraria lobata in different slope directions of the high and steep rock wall of the quarry, the growth slopes were set up in the east, south, west and north directions respectively, and the effects of slope direction on the growth height, leaf morphological...

Mulberry is not only an important forage for silkworm, but also an excellent tree species with higher economic and ecological value. To explore the drought resistance characteristics of hybrid mulberry seedlings, Zhesangza 1 was used as the experimental material in this study and PEG6000 was used...

The response of ecosystem to environmental water variation is determined by the matters of plant absorbing and using water, and studying and tracing the plant water movement processes under different environmental conditions will provide a scientific basis for plant water use strategy. In the...

Pohspora Sweet are evergreen tree of Theaceae with 50 species, mainly distributed in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Polvspora have high ornamental value, can be used as landscape trees in tropical and subtropical regions. Sonic of them have edible and medicinal values. Based on the brief...

Under the background of global climate change, screening urban greening plants with strong drought tolerance is an important way to deal with the shortage of groundwater resources and urban greening construction in the future. In this paper, Camellia japonica and Rhododendron hybridum were used as...
