Leaf traits, structure and water status of Conocarpus lancifolius, a Combretaceae were investigated under semi-arid conditions. The leaf traits examined included leaf area and thickness, stomatal distribution, sclerophylly, succulence and relative water content. Additionally, the types of secretory structures, histochemistry of trichomes, and chemical nature of the cuticlular waxes were evaluat...

In this study, the antimicrobial activity of crude extracts of flower, fruit, stem and leaf of Conocarpus erectus and purified tannins were evaluated against three fungi and seven Gram-positive, Gram-negative and acid-fast bacteria. While, by disc diffusion method, extracts of different parts of C.erectus were active only against Saccharomyces cerevisiae, purified tannins were active against Sa...

Mangrove communities are tropical systems which have fewer species than tropical forests, especially in Latin America and display a single architecture, usually lacking the various strata commonly found in other forest ecosystems. The identification of mangrove communities by orbital data is not a difficult task but the most interesting challenge is to identify themselves by the dominant specie...

Low water availability predicted under climate change is a major abiotic factor limiting plants growth and productivity. In this study greenhouse experiment was conducted on three important tree species of arid environment: Conocarpus erectus (CE), Acacia modesta (AM), Salix tetrasperma (ST). Young saplings were subjected to control (C), medium (MWD) severe soil deficit (SWD) treatments respons...
