The soil water content is an important parameter for monitoring land degradation. A better understanding of how forests use soil water is crucial for the quantification how the terrestrial hydrologic cycle adapts to forestry practices and regional climate anomalies in these areas. This study investigated the variation of the water balance under different precipitation patterns (including soil water redistribution patterns under water stress and extreme rainstorms) under three common tree species in a mountainous area of Beijing were investigated. The results showed that soil water storage in the 80–150 cm layer played an important role for the ability of Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco and Quercus variabilis Blume to survive drought during a dry season. Compared to P. orientalis and Q. variabilis, the duration of water stress was shortest for Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. (15 months). P. tabulaeformis had a higher ability to utilize top soil water but showed a less balanced use of soil water in each soil layer. It also had the strongest ability to replenish groundwater through deep seepage. P. tabulaeformis may resist drought by transferring water to deeper soil horizons, where it is less susceptible to evaporation and where moisture can be temporarily stored. P. orientalis and Q. variabilis are more dependent on soil water storage in response to water stress conditions.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"514 - 534"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88540494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to examine the unsaturated transport of nalidixic acid-resistance Escherichia coli (E. coli NAR) in soil amended by cow manure (CM) and natural zeolite (NZ). Two levels of NZ (5 and 15% w/w) were added to a loam soil containing 5% w/w CM and incubated for 60 days. Then, the soil mixtures were poured into cylinders (3.6 × 15 cm) and a pulse (0.1 pore volume) of bacteria suspension (106 Cell mL−1) was added on top of the soil columns and leaching experiments were conducted at a steady-state, unsaturated flow condition and filtration coefficient (λf ), relative adsorption index (SR ), maximum depth of bacteria transport (Zmax ), average (Cav ) and cumulative cell density (Ccum ) were calculated. CM and NZ application significantly increased the peak density, Z max , C av , and C cum of E. coli NAR. The Cav , and Ccum of E. coli NAR in both 5 and 15% NZ containing mixtures were about 1 and 2-fold higher compared to the control. CM and NZ addition to soil decreased the filtration coefficient (λf ) and relative adsorption index (SR ) compared to the control. According to our results, we should conclude that the presence of NZ and CM, separately or together, can significantly increase the risk of groundwater contamination and it should be used with prudence.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"494 - 513"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84576959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is little information about CESs and their spatial distribution in arid lands. It is necessary to identify the most important social-ecological drivers of CESs supply to improve coldspot areas in this regard. Seven cultural ecosystem services were quantified based on people’s perception across eight different arid landscapes, in southeast of Iran. A questionnaire was prepared based on landscape photography to interview people using non-proportional quota sampling. Using hotspot analysis, the spatial distribution of cultural services was then examined. CESs’ hotspots were often dispersed in the semi-arid regions (95% of hotspots), whereas coldspots were often dispersed in arid regions (73% of coldspots). The landscape condition, landscape type, and plant traits were the most important ecological drivers of CESs supply (p < 0.05), showing priority regions for conservation or restoration. Woodlands were more successful in providing CESs than rangelands. The two woodland landscapes, i.e., scale-leaved evergreen coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved trees had the most potential for providing CESs. The lowland mixed halophyte shrubs-annual species landscape had the least potential for CESs supply. The education and income (p < 0.05) were the main social drivers of CESs provision, which are effective for restoration of areas with the risk of CESs loss. Our findings provide useful information for planners and managers to understand the potential of different landscapes in providing multiple CESs and to relate them to conservation/restoration plans.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"619 - 636"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86292669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pers.] were subjected to polyethylene glycol (PEG 60000)-induced drought stress (PEG 60000) at 0, −0.15, and −0.3 MPa levels, hydroponically. In all genotypes, stele diameter decreased as osmotic potential of the medium decreased and the largest stele diameter (247 µm) was observed in Johnson grass at control and declined to 196 µm under −0.3 MPa PEG. Drought affected the diameter of peripheral metaxylem (PMX) and central metaxylem (CMX), negatively. The number of PMX and CMX in Johnson grass was 36 and 200% more than in grain sorghum under −0.3 MPa PEG, respectively. In all genotypes, chlorophyll a and b declined under drought, but in Johnson grass, it only decreased 25 and 29%, respectively. Johnson grass had the highest total chlorophyll content, while carotenoid content was stable under drought stress in this genotype. Drought stress increased catalase and peroxidase activities but decreased relative water content (RWC) and hydraulic conductivity (hc). Under drought, the higher seedling dry weight and root to shoot ratio in Johnson grass might be related to higher hc, total chlorophyll content, and RWC. Moreover, Johnson grass showed less water loss and more efficiency in water uptake under induced drought stress; and it could be attributed to the larger stele diameter, number, and diameter of PMX, substantiating their roles in drought adaptation.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"8 1","pages":"554 - 576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84973166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spatial variability in SWC was assessed from five horizontal measurement points (MPs), at 10-, 30-, 50-, and 70-cm depths using time domain reflectometry. The spatial variability in SWC among the five MPs was statistically significant for 19–75% of sampling dates and was most often different between the two treatments at 10- and 30-cm depths. Straw mulch most strongly affected the spatial variability of SWC at a 10-cm depth, but this effect differed between the two years. With respect to SWC, the FP treatment exhibited a higher range and lower maximum standard deviation and coefficient of variation compared to those of the FPM treatment. In the majority of sampling dates (more than 60%), the most representative SWC estimates were obtained at MPs positioned at one-quarter into the inter-row gap.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"140 1","pages":"473 - 493"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86666190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid in mitigating the impacts of salt stress on the physiology, growth, and production of “Canindé” okra cultivated in a hydroponic system. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, using an NFT—Nutrient Film Technique hydroponic system. A completely randomized design was adopted in a split-plot scheme, with four levels of electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution—ECns (2.1, 3.6, 5.1, and 6.6 dS m−1) considered as plots and four concentrations of salicylic acid—SA (0, 1.2, 2.4, and 3.6 mM), considered as subplots, with four replications, each of which consisting of two plants. Foliar application of salicylic acid at a concentration of 1.2 mM attenuated the harmful effects of salt stress on the physiology, growth, and production components of “Canindé” okra cultivated in a hydroponic system with ECns of up to 6.6 dS m−1. Plants cultivated with ECns of 6.6 dS m−1 and salicylic acid at a concentration of 1.2 mM obtained an increase of 11.13% (36.4 g per plant) in total production per plant compared to plants cultivated with the same ECns level and without application of salicylic acid. These results demonstrate that salicylic acid, when supplied by foliar application at adequate concentrations, can act as a signaling molecule and reduce the effects of salt stress on hydroponic okra.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"63 1","pages":"602 - 618"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72685934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Willd. ex Delile, to evaluate the effect of invasive tree species on total soil C, N concentrations, and C:N ratios. We also analyzed the soil samples for soil organic C (SOC), total N (TN), soil microbial biomass C (MBC), and soil microbial biomass N (MBN) and stocks. Soil physical and chemical properties under the invasive P. juliflora and native A. nilotica trees varied significantly (p < 0.05). The C and N concentrations in the fine root, leaf, soil SOC, TN and MBC, and MBN concentrations were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in P. juliflora than A. nilotica while C:N ratio, and bulk density, exhibited the opposite trends. The C concentrations followed the order fine root > leaf > soil > microbial biomass while for N concentration and C:N ratios, it was leaf > fine root > soil > microbial biomass. The invasive P. juliflora had a lower C:N ratio in leaf, fine root, and soil than the native A. nilotica. The average rhizosphere soil, fine root, and leaf C concentration for P. juliflora were 36.72 ± 0.84 g kg−1, 547.84 ± 18.56 g kg−1, and 534.77 ± 5.12 g kg−1, respectively and were 1.42, 1.16 and 1.04 times higher than for A. nilotica. Similarly, P. juliflora average rhizosphere soil, fine root, and leaf N concentrations were 4.37 ± 0.11 g kg−1, 19.96 ± 0.94 g kg−1, and 23.18 ± 0.84 g kg−1, respectively, and 2.0, 1.27, and 1.85 times, respectively, higher than for A. nilotica. Further, the MBC:SOC or MBN:TN ratios were higher in native A. nilotica, likely indicating higher efficiency of microbes in soil C decomposition.

Litv., Peganum harmala L., and Seriphydium gracilescens (Krasch. et Iljin) Poljak. were directly sown in the bottom of dry furrows and on a flat site in the mined wasteland before the second snowfall in late autumn. Seedling emergence, survival, and growth were monitored for 3 years. For the four species, cumulative seed germination in the furrows ranged from 6.4 to 23.6% and the highest germination was 23.0 and 23.6% for A. frutescens and C. junceum, respectively.

This study aimed to predict the occurrence and decline of Astragalus verus under climate change in Central Iran with an area of about 123,167 km2. We recorded 12 and 71 sites for the dead and alive species using the stratified sampling method, respectively. The general circulation model of CCSM4 was applied at two timeframes of present and 2050 under two climate change scenarios of RCP2.6 and RCP8.5. Four environmental variables of annual mean temperature, the maximum temperature of the warmest month, the precipitation of the coldest quarter, and elevation were selected as the inputs of the nine statistical models. Results indicated that Random Forest model had the best performance in predicting climatic niche and decline of A. verus (AUC and TSS of 0.99) compared to the other models. The suitable habitat and decline for this species are 12.4% and 19.87% of the study area, respectively. With the estimated temperature rise of 3 °C under the CCSM4-RCP2.6 scenario, A. verus habitat will shrink by about 3.4% of the study area and will move toward higher elevations with colder temperatures in the future. Most changes in the suitability of the species will occur in the altitude range of 1800 to 2200 meters because the most temperature and precipitation variations will happen in this elevation stratum. The results can be used to prevent its rapid dieback or even restore vegetation cover in regions with similar conditions.","PeriodicalId":8380,"journal":{"name":"Arid Land Research and Management","volume":"20 1","pages":"577 - 601"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90165226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
