Abstract:
... The reserve of Tamarix forest, located in Changyi, China, is the only national marine special reserve taking Tamarix as the main object of protection. Compared with conventional monitoring technology, remote sensing technology can more comprehensively reflect the ecological environment status and spatial–temporal variation of monitoring objects. Based on spectral characteristics and remote sensing ...

Abstract:
... Characterizing airflow and turbulence patterns around real vegetation is essential for predicting aeolian erosion. However, few studies have explored the airflow field around live plants. In this field study, airflow field and turbulence patterns were investigated around a single Tamarix tree. Wind speeds were monitored at 34 locations around the tree at the heights of z/h = 0.13 h, 0.5 h, 1.1 h, ...

In this study, the temporal and spatial variations of soil CO₂ and CH₄ emission fluxes, soil total carbon, total organic carbon, and carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of four vegetation area ...
... This study reveals the phytoextraction of trace metals (cobalt ‘Co’, copper ‘Cu’ and zinc ‘Zn’) by selected plants Alhagi maurorum, Tamarix aphylla, Salvadora persica and Suaeda nigra in saline soil. The two parts (roots and shoots) of selected plants were collected from different sites and desalinated rhizospheric soil samples (adhering to the root of plants). The matrices of saline soil, desalin ...
... The present research evaluated the phytoremediation potential of three selected plant species Tamarix. spp, Haloxylon. spp and Malcolmia Africana to remediate gold mine tailings in the center of Iran. To improve the ecological capability of the tailing dam and contaminated soil, two treatments of contaminated (tailing dam) and control (surrounding area of the gold mine) were chosen. The associated ...

Abstract:
... Accurate and timely acquisition of plant diversity information downstream of the reservoir is helpful to understand the impact mechanism of reservoir operation on wetland plant diversity and formulate reasonable water and sediment regulation strategies.

Understanding the water use characteristics of vegetation is crucial for guiding the rational allocation of water resources and the restoration of sustainable vegetation in natural oases in arid desert areas. To analyze the water use characteristics of Populus euphratica Oliv. and Tamarix chinensis Lour. at different stages of growth in the Daliyabuyi natural pristine oasis in northwestern China, ...
... While weed management is often thought of as an agricultural issue, weeds are also problematic for homeowners, public space managers and utilities. In these situations, weeds are typically hand‐pulled, mechanically treated or managed via herbicides. Hand pulling and mechanical treatments are labour‐intensive, and all control methods may have unintended off‐target impacts, necessitating new alterna ...
Tamarix ramosissima, etc ; bacterial communities; community structure; dodecanoic acid; indigenous species; metabolites; metabolomics; metal tolerance; rhizosphere; soil bacteria; soil ecosystems; Show all 11 Subjects
Abstract:
... Heavy metals (HMs) contamination around smelters poses serious stress to soil microbiome. However, the co-effect of multiple HMs and native vegetation rhizosphere on the soil ecosystem remains unclear. Herein, effects of high HMs level and the rhizosphere (Tamarix ramosissima) on soil bacterial community structure and metabolic profiles in sierozem were analyzed by coupling high-throughput sequenc ...
... Lake Bottom oxbow is a partially-filled oxbow lake within an alluvium filled sandstone canyon reach of the Dolores River in eastern Utah, USA. Two adjacent sediment cores were obtained from the Lake Bottom oxbow to better understand the depositional and environmental history of the site and region. Depositional ages were determined using radiocarbon dating (¹⁴C) of pollen extracts, optically stimu ...

Abstract:
... Excessive use of pesticides and mineral fertilizers poses a serious threat to ecoenvironment sustainability and human health. Nano pesticides or Nano fungicides have attained great attention in the field of agriculture due to their unique characteristics, by improving crop growth with enhancing pathogenesis-related defense system. However, there is a need to develop a sustainable mechanism for the ...

Abstract:
... Biological invasions are considered one of the most serious drivers of global biodiversity degradation in the face of ecological restoration. Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) is an aggressive invader in arid environments of the United States, Mexico, Australia, and Argentina, causing profound alteration of riparian habitats, the composition and structure of natural communities, and ecosystem functioning. ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the spatial variability in highly heterogeneous natural environments such as savannas and river corridors is an important issue in characterizing and modeling energy fluxes, particularly for evapotranspiration (ET) estimates. Currently, remote-sensing-based surface energy balance (SEB) models are applied widely and routinely in agricultural settings to obtain ET information on an ope ...

Abstract:
... Exotic species invasions have profound effects on native ecosystems, with the ecological effects of non‐native plants being especially pervasive. We investigated the impacts of a plant invasion on benthic invertebrate assemblages in intertidal wetlands of the Yellow River Delta, comparing benthic communities associated with exotic Spartina alterniflora against those associated with native plants ( ...
... Riparian phreatophytes in hyperarid areas face selection pressure from limiting groundwater availability and high transpiration demand. We examined whole-plant water use and hydraulic traits in Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima seedlings to understand how they adapt to groundwater variations. These species coexist in the Tarim River floodplain of western China. Measurements were performed ...

Abstract:
... The influence of Tamarix chinensis on its immediate environment and soil health has not been explored, particularly with respect to diurnal and seasonal variations. Thus, the objectives of this study were to: 1. Determine the physiological relevance of excreted salts in improving plant carbon fixation properties, and 2. Investigate the relationship between functional plant traits and environmental ...
... Desertification poses a perpetual threat to the security of desert ecosystems. Perennial desert vegetation plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of a desert ecosystem and slowing down its desertification process by creating “fertile islands” beneath their canopy. Yet, how these fertile islands affect the transformation of soil phosphorus (P) fractions and the relationship ...

... Biochar is a beneficial soil amendment; however, biochar-based properties are mainly determined by the feedstocks and the pyrolysis temperature. Nevertheless, considering the vast biomass of halophyte, little is known about how the halophyte-derived biochar improves saline soils. In this study, we firstly produced biochars by using three different halophytes, including Tamarix chinensis (recretoha ...
