Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Soil salinity significantly reduced switchgrass top third leaf size, leaf chlorophyll-a content and aboveground and underground root biomass.
- Intervention effect Soil salinity significantly reduced switchgrass total biomass, seed yield and root to shoot ratio.
- Intervention effect Soil salinity increased switchgrass leaf chlorophyll-b and total chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Salinity inhibited switchgrass total root length, surface area and volume.
- Intervention effect NaCl did not significantly change switchgrass plant height relative to CK.
- Intervention effect Under NaCl, switchgrass roots were concentrated at 0～40 cm, with biomass gravity at 23 cm versus 50 cm in CK.
- Observation Under Na2SO4, switchgrass roots extended through 0～120 cm and decreased with depth.
- Observation Under NaHCO3, switchgrass roots concentrated in the upper 0～80 cm, with biomass gravity at 18 cm.
