Synergy of extreme drought and shrub invasion reduce ecosystem functioning and resilience in water-limited climates
Extreme drought events and plant invasions are major drivers of global change that can critically affect ecosystem functioning and alter ecosystem-atmosphere exchange. Invaders are expanding worldwide and extreme drought events are projected to increase in frequency and intensity. However, very little is known on how these drivers may interact to affect the functioning and resilience of ecosyst...
متن کاملDrought adaptations in wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum) grown in Iran
Wild barley contains a wide genetic diversity and therefore is adaptable to all kinds of harsh environments. The aim of this research was to determine the extent of drought stress adaptation within Hordeum spontaneum L. genotypes from different climates of Iran. From the primary population of 193 genotypes, a core set consisting of 18 genotypes, were selected based on the highest squared Euclid...
متن کاملبررسی ویژگی‌های آناتومیکی و مورفولوژیکی مرتبط با مقاومت به خشکی در برگ 30 رقم زیتون
The olive (Olea europaea L.) tree is one of the most characteristic tree crops from the Mediterranean basin that they are frequently subjected to prolonged drought periods. Olive tree is able to tolerate the low availability of water in the soil by means of morphoanatomical and physiological adaptations. This experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with three replications...
متن کاملبررسی مقاومت دو رقم زیتون به تنش سرما
Abstract: Olive (Olea europaea L.) is an evergreen tree traditionally cultivated in the Mediterranean area, resistant to some degree to salinity and drought conditions. However, olive trees are not so resistant to low temperatures. In recent years, because of high demands for olive oil and fruit, the cultivation of olive trees has been increased in Iran. Different cultivars of olives have di...
متن کاملEcophysiological traits associated with drought in Mediterranean tree seedlings: individual responses versus interspecific trends in eleven species.
Species differ regarding their drought tolerance and individuals of a given species can modify their morphology and physiology in response to drought. However, since evolutionary and ecological selective pressures differ, individual and interspecific responses to drought might not match. We determined summer survival and a number of ecophysiological variables in two factorial experiments with s...
