to find the effect of atriplex canescens on soil chemical properties, two adjacent areas, each with and area of 1 ha, were selected in hossein abad hapeshloo shahryar. in one area it was planted atriplex canescens in 2003 while the later one without atriplex canescens was considered as control area. to sample soil, random- systematic method was used along 3 transects with a length of 100 m. in ...

Plant productivity is limited by salinity stress, both in natural and agricultural systems. Identification of salt stress-related genes from halophyte can provide insights into mechanisms of salt stress tolerance in plants. Atriplex canescens is a xero-halophyte that exhibits optimum growth in the presence of 400 mM NaCl. A cDNA library derived from highly salt-treated A. canescens plants was c...

abstract one basic method of improving rangelands in a country is the use of native as well as exotic species of plants adaptable. among the but introduced species, atriplex canescens has been introduced in many rangelands, but it is important and necessary to consider it’s effects on native species. in the current study the effect of chemical competition (allelopathy) of atriplex canescens on ...

desertification leads to decrease in the ecosystem c pool and attendant reduction in soil organic carbon (soc). reclamation of sandy land in arid and semi-arid has a high potential to increase carbon sequestration and improving soil quality. our objective as to examine the changes in the soil carbon sequestration and soil properties of two soil layers (0–20 and 20-50 cm) under two types of recl...

Atriplex canescens (fourwing saltbush) is a C4 perennial fodder shrub with excellent resistance to salinity. However, the mechanisms underlying the salt tolerance in A. canescens are poorly understood. In this study, 5-weeks-old A. canescens seedlings were treated with various concentrations of external NaCl (0-400 mM). The results showed that the growth of A. canescens seedlings was significan...
