Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Most Atriplex and Maireana species survived at Faisalabad and produced good forage yield.
- Observation Some of the tested species are woody and usable as fuel.
- Observation Tested species generally showed physiological and morphological responses typical of poor waterlogging tolerance.
- Observation A. amnicola survived up to five months of waterlogging under moderate salinity and high evaporation demand.
- Association A amnicola maintained higher leaf water potentials than most species during five weeks of waterlogging.
- Association A amnicola maintained higher shoot extension rates than most species during five weeks of waterlogging.
- Observation A amnicola returned to control levels more quickly after draining.
- Mechanism A amnicola had little morphological adaptation, but shallow lateral roots and aerenchymatous adventitious roots appeared advantageous.
- Observation Waterlogging quickly killed shallow fibrous rooted species.
- Observation Some procumbent branches survived as clones when they developed adventitious roots.
