Mixed forests play a key role in the environmental restoration of desert ecosystems and order to address improvement soil properties by different mixed vegetation types. We selected four typical types (including: Populus alba var. pyramidalis × Caragana korshinskii, P. Hedysarum mongdicum, scoparium Salix cheilophila) that have been restored for 22 years moving sandy land transition zone betwee...

Sulla is a biannual forage legume cultivated throughout the Mediterranean Basin. It can be severely damaged by powdery mildew, but there little understanding on its causal species or host range. The taxonomic characterization of Erysiphe mainly based examination chasmothecia morphology, molecular analysis ITS1 and ITS2 sequences. However, description morphology ITS sequences not always availabl...

Abstract Mesoscale heterogeneity of alpine landscapes generates snowmelt gradients resulting in a distinct vegetation zonation from almost snow-free fellfields to long-lasting snowbeds. Although the vegetative trait variation along such has been intensively studied, little is known about whether and how seed germination adapted variable snowpack duration. Here, we compare niches 18 characterist...

The plants of Hedysarum alpinum L. in the North are characterized by a long pregenerative period, laboriousness seed propagation, low field germination seeds, rare self-sowing, and impossibility vegetative propagation. In connection with this, it seemed relevant to introduce this species (included Red Book Komi Republic) into aseptic culture preserve maintain gene pool, as well further develop ...
