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 ...

Abstract:
... 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 ...
... 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 ...

Abstract:
... Evapotranspiration (ET) partitioning involves determining how the flux of water is mediated by abiotic and biotic pathways. Previous studies have shown the average transpiration fraction (T/ET) from sites to global scales. However, few studies couple plant water use with ET partitioning to understanding how changes in plant community structure affect the seasonal to interannual variability in ET p ...
... Increasing atmospheric vapour pressure deficit (D) can influence plant water and carbon uptake. However, growing season variation in stomatal responses to D among tree taxa has not been thoroughly quantified and therefore has not been well‐characterized in stomatal regulation models. Using sap flux data from nine riparian species spanning a 600‐m elevation gradient in semi‐arid northern Utah, USA, ...

Abstract:
... Climate change has become a global concern. Coastal wetlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle and significantly contribute to the emission and absorption of the greenhouse gases CO₂ and CH₄. 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 ...

Three weed biological control (biocontrol) programmes are described, all of which are considered to be ‘transfer projects’ that were initiated elsewhere, and on which South Africa has piggybacked its biocontrol efforts. Using knowledge and expertise from international collaborators, South African weed researchers are following a long tradition of transfer projects, which has been a largely success ...

Abstract:
... Saline soil is a worldwide distributed resource that seriously harms plants’ growth and development. NaCl is the most widely distributed salt in saline soil. As a typical representative of halophytes, Tamarix ramosissima Lcdcb (T. ramosissima) is commonly grown in salinized soil, and halophytes have different abilities to retain more K⁺ under salt stress conditions. Halophytes can adapt to differe ...

Desert riparian vegetation forms an ecological corridor in extremely arid environments, and ecological water conveyance is an important measure of vegetation restoration and biodiversity conservation in desert riparian zones. Studying the responses of vegetation to ecological water conveyance and changes in this process in arid desert riparian zones and assessing the comprehensive benefits of ecol ...

... The butterfly assemblage found at riparian upland plant restoration areas (after removal of the invasive plant, tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima Ledebour)) along Las Vegas Wash was examined over four different months. Upland areas were planted with a variety of plants, however, those with a mesquite (Prosopis spp. Linneaus) component contained additional butterfly species relative to other plots. Det ...

Abstract:
... Caragana korshinskii Kom. and Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. are pioneer shrubs for water and soil conservation, and for windbreak and sand fixation in arid and semi-arid areas. Understanding the water use characteristics of different pioneer shrubs at different ages is of great importance for their survival when extreme rainfall occurs. In recent years, the stable isotope tracing technique has been u ...
... Long-term studies on plant response mechanisms to different irrigation regimes will provide a better understanding of the survivability and establishment of plant communities in a desert environment. Thus, across 10 years, we regularly investigated the effects of the rainfall (control), rainfall + 4 L h⁻¹, rainfall + 8 L h⁻¹, and rainfall + 12 L h⁻¹ irrigation regimes on the growth and leaf morpho ...

Abstract:
... Quantification of the water budget of an arid inland river ecosystem is essential but still a challenge for the sustainable development of water resources. In situ observed data were used to analyze the monthly and annual water budgets and the soil hydrological cycle for six typical ecosystems in the Heihe River Basin (HRB). The two-source model was used to partition evapotranspiration (ET) into t ...

Abstract:
... Plant response to soil and atmospheric water stresses is the dominant control of Dryland ecosystem functions, affecting water resources, ecosystem stability and biodiversity. The link between water stresses and plant water status is regulated by plant hydraulics, of which the corresponding impact on plant water use and the susceptibility of Dryland ecosystems remains under-explored. We used a plan ...

Abstract:
... Tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima) plants are widely distributed in semi-arid regions with saline soils. In these environments, the survival and sustainability of the Tamarisk plants are critically related to the availability and distribution of soil water and salt. In this study, we analyzed the soil water content (SWC) and soil electrical conductivity (EC) to the depth of 60 cm in natural Tamarisk c ...

Abstract:
... Tamarix has been widely used as barbecue skewers to obtain a good taste and a unique flavor of roast lamb in China. Many flavonoids have been identified from Tamarix, which is an important strategy employed to reduce the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) in roast meat. Isorhamnetin, hispidulin, and cirsimaritin from Tamarix ramosissima bark extract (TRE) effectively inhibit the formation of 2 ...

Abstract:
... Riparian plants can adapt their water uptake strategies based on climatic and hydrological conditions within a river basin. The response of cold‐alpine riparian trees to changes in water availability is poorly understood. The Lhasa River is a representative cold‐alpine river in South Tibet and an under‐studied environment. Therefore, a 96 km section of the lower Lhasa River was selected for a stud ...
