Foliar water uptake (FWU) is one of the primary sources for desert plants. Desert plants’ capacity essential in maintaining balance carbon and water. However, there are few studies on FWU plants physiological ecological characteristics that lead to differences capacity. In order clarify strategies influencing factors ecosystems, this study measured contact angle, parameters, hydraulic parameter...

Riparian forest veg etation in the lower Tarim River desert often faces a water and nitrogen deficiency. To investigate ecological effects of drought stress limitation arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on Alhagi sparsifolia seedlings at vulnerable stage growth, control experiment was conducted with indoor potted plants. The main findings are as follows: inhibited normal growth development seed...
