Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Highest salinity reduced overall A. donax growth by more than 80%.
- Observation A. donax had zero mortality across the salinity treatments.
- Association Photosynthesis rates declined with decreasing stomatal conductance, with R squared above 0.97.
- Association Stomatal conductance decreased as salinity increased.
- Observation Stomatal and leaf limitations of carbon dioxide were three times greater at high salinity.
- Observation Assimilation rates remained 7–12 μmol m −2 s −1 at 38–42 dS m −1 salinity.
- Observation A. donax leaf gas exchange and whole-plant salt tolerance exceeded the listed crop and wild species.
