Ecotones represent locations where vegetation change is likely to occur as a result of climate and other environmental changes. Using a model of an ecotone vulnerable to such future changes, we estimated the resilience of the ecotone to disturbances. The specific ecotone is that between two different vegetation types, salinity-tolerant and salinity-intolerant, along a gradient in groundwater sa...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance in wheat and triticale has a high priority the European Union because of strict guidelines for major mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON) zearalenone (ZON) admission policy regulatory authorities. Potentially 70% arable land Germany about 60% Austria can be affected by Fusarium. Although epidemics occur only some years and/or regions, DON ZON are detected every ...

Tomato (Lycpoersicum esculemtum) belongs to the Solanaceae potato family and is an important crop plant. It is relatively resistant to salinity, but in the saline environment growth and production of the plant significantly reduces. On the other hand, the presence of mycorrhiza fungus can improve the adverse effects of salinity. A factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with thre...

Crisis due to global warming and its associated damaging consequences, including salinity, it is essential to develop plant resistance to salinity level. In this study, an experiment was conducted using different levels of salinity (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2% sodium chloride) had on Rosa hybrida, as the most important cut flowers in the world. Results showed that by increasing of salinity, sodium...

trifolium spp. are native plants in iran exhibiting good ground cover po-tential. salinity is a major environmental stress and today, 20% of the world cultivated areas and nearly half of all irrigated lands are affected by salinity. the main aim of this research was to study morphological and physiological adaptations of these native species under different salinity levels for urban landscape u...

Marigold has special importance and application in landscape designing. Nowadays, various species and cultivars of this plant are grown in many climates, where different environmental stresses such as freezing, salinity and drought can lead to vegetative disorders. This study was carried out to investigate the interactions between salinity and ammonium nitrate on seed germination, vegetative gr...

in order to study the effect of irrigation water salinity on quality and quantity of sugar beet (beta vulgaris) at four growth stages, an experiment was conducted in rudasht salinity and drainage research center from 2004-2006. in this experiment, 11 different water salinity treatments and three sugar beet cultivars (ic, 7233 & 7233-p29*msc2) were considered using split plot design based on ran...

to answer this question that if osmopriming improve germination indices in salinity-affected seeds of pinus eldarica medw., a factorial experiment in randomized completely design was carried out with three replications. osmotic treatments were applied in 5 levels (-2, -4, -6 and -8 bar for 72 hours and non-primed) by polyethylene glycol (peg) and salinity treatments in 8 levels (0, 40, 80, 120,...

New recruits of the bluehead wrasse Thalassoma bifasciatum were censused and collected from nearshore reefs of Barbados, West Indies, every 2 weeks for 20 months. Their temporal coincidence with low salinity (<34 5) water during their pelagic larval stage was determined by comparing the otolith records of new recruits with conductivity and temperature records from a current meter moored 2 km of...
