Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Reaumuria soongarica had the highest rhizosphere soil conductivity among the three species in five soil layers.
- Association High soil conductivity increased daily leaf salt secretion by Reaumuria soongarica.
- Association Reaumuria soongarica canopy size was positively related to distance from Stipa glareosa.
- Observation Reaumuria soongarica had significantly greater salt tolerance than Stipa glareosa.
- Observation Reaumuria soongarica had significantly greater salt tolerance than Allium polyrhizum.
- Observation Soil conductivity of 600 µS/cm marked a threshold for interspecific competition.
- Association Below 600 µS/cm, Reaumuria soongarica relative biomass increased as soil conductivity rose.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that efficient leaf salt secretion increases soil conductivity under the canopy.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that increased conductivity forms a saline island of Reaumuria soongarica.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that salt secretion and tolerance promote Reaumuria soongarica competitiveness and dominance in saline desert grassland.
