Production and properties of charcoal from four years old Acacia assak, A. negrii, A. seyal, A. karroo, A. ampliceps, A. stenophylla and A. salicina grown in the Experiments and Research Station, College of Agriculture, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were studied. The first three species are indigenous while the others are exotic. 21 trees were felled and disks of 20 cm each from th...

Thirteen indigenous and exotic Acacia species grown in Saudi Arabia were evaluated for their host status for Meloidogyne javanica in pot tests both in the growth chamber and under outdoor conditions. In both experiments, 21-day-old seedlings were transplanted individually into 15-cm-diam. plastic pots containing a steam-sterilized mixture of equal parts loam and sandy loam. Seedlings were inocu...

in order to study the effect of afforestation in reduction oil pollution, one planted area in dezful, affected by pollutions from kuwaiti oil-wells burning was employed. six species, eucalyptus camaldulensis, eucalyptus microtheca, dalbegia sissoo, acacia salicina, acacia stenophylla, populus euphratica were selected. growth parameters, leaf samples and soil samples from different depths (0-30,...

Plant can alter reproductive strategies for adaptation to different environments. However, alterations in flowering strategies and sexual allocation for the same species growing in different environments still remain unclear. We examined the sexual reproduction parameters of Caragana stenophylla across four climatic zones from semi-arid, arid, very arid, to intensively arid zones in the Inner M...

Few studies have investigated the influence of water availability on plant population spatial patterns. We studied changes in the spatial patterns of Caragana stenophylla along a climatic drought gradient within the Inner Mongolian Plateau, China. We examined spatial patterns, seed density, "nurse effects" of shrubs on seedlings, transpiration rates and water use efficiency (WUE) of C. stenophy...

BACKGROUND Lysimachia paridiformis Var. Stenophylla mainly contain flavonoid constituents. Flavonoids and benzoquinones are the main compounds in L. fortumei Maxim. The objective of this paper was to study the volatile compounds of leaves in L. paridiformis Var. Stenophylla, L. fortumei and L. chikungensis for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Volatiles were extracted by the manual solid ...
