terminal drought stress during grain filling period has recently become more common in the semiarid mediterranean regions, where wheat (triticum aestivum) is grown as an important winter cereal crop. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of terminal drought stress on grain yield, gas exchange variables, and some physiological traits of nine bread wheat cultivars. an experimen...

The efficient conservation of vulnerable ecosystems in the face global change requires a complete understanding how plant communities respond to various environmental factors. We aim demonstrate that combined use different approaches, traits, and indices representing each taxonomic functional characteristics will give complementary information on factors driving vegetation assembly patterns. an...
