Tamarix hispida Willd. is a woody halophyte that can grow well in drought prone soils and salinity soil.
The trees have struggled due to the poor drought-prone soil - however, progress is apparently being made.
The importance of explicitly characterizing the nature of the stresses in the target areas is discussed in relation with designing an ideal root system, which is a primary requirement to define an actual breeding target for improving productivity in abiotic stress-prone soil environments.
High values of EMI coincided with both low γ-radiometric values at the valley bottom, due to moist sandy salinity-prone soil of varying depth to texture contrast, and high γ-radiometric values at the elevated areas of the field due to emission from finer textured soil.
In this drought-prone land, soils are often shallow, even saline.
Collapsible loess-derived soils are prone to soil piping erosion, where enlargement of macropores may lead to a subsurface pipe network and eventually to soil collapse and gully development.
Indeed, black soils are prone to soil degradation (e.g. carbon losses, erosion, crusting, and nutrient mining) and are latent sinks and sources of greenhouse gases.
The results are promising and can be used to better manage erosion-prone soils.
In the current project, forest growth on erosion-prone soils was compared with tree growth in non-eroded soils in a plantation forest in mainly hilly land and steepland near Napier.
The aus subpopulation originates from a region in India with infertile and drought-prone soils and is a recognized source of stress-tolerance in rice breeding (Londo et al. 2006; Gowda et al. 2012; Gamuyao et al. 2012).
holds particular promise for alkaline and drought-prone soils, which cover much of central and southern Europe (Sölter et al., 2007).
