Atriplex lentiformis plants collected from coastal and desert habitats exhibit marked differences in capacity to adjust photosynthetic response to changes in growth temperature. Plants from desert habitats grown at 43 C day/30 C night temperatures had higher CO(2) uptake rates at high temperatures but reduced rates at low temperatures as compared to plants grown at 23 C day/18 C night temperatu...

re-vegetation of bare soil is believed to increase, or at least maintain the organic matter levels of soil. the aim of this study was to investigate the soil characteristics changes, nutrient pool sizes and their availability under mid canopy, and canopy gap positions of saltbush in an area re-vegetated with atriplex lentiformis. some of the physical and chemical soil characteristics (the parti...

increasing level of carbon dioxide co2 due to industrial activity is primarily cause of global warming. planting artoplex lentiformis can help to reduce atmospheric co2 buildup partly replacing use of fuels and by carbon storage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of row spacing on carbon storage. a split- plot design with three replications included three row spacing (2×2...

Atriplex spp. (Atriplex canescens, A. lentiformis and A. halimus) plantation has been extensively used to reclaim rangeland in Iran for the past several decades. However, the impacts of this practice have been controversial. Due to the increasing adoption of this reclamation technique for degraded rangelands, it is important to investigate its impacts. The aim of this study was to investigate t...
