Title
GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF MEXICAN OREGANO (LIPPIA BERLANDIERI SCHAUER) UNDER SALT STRESS
Ricardo Mata-González; Rubén Meléndez-González The Southwestern Naturalist 2005. doi:10.1894/0038-4909(2005)050<0001:gcomol>2.0.co;2
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Relative growth rate decreased linearly as osmotic potential declined from control to −1.20 MPa.
- Intervention effect Leaf weight decreased ninefold from control to −1.20 MPa.
- Intervention effect Root growth was less affected by salinity than leaf and stem growth.
- Observation Relative growth rate ranged from 0.01 to 0.08 g/g/d.
- Observation The low relative growth rates suggest slow recovery in native stands under continuous harvesting.
