Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Creeping foxtail shoot sodium increased as salinity rose from 2 to 10 dS m−1.
- Intervention effect Nuttall's alkali grass shoot sodium increased as salinity rose from 2 to 10 dS m−1.
- Intervention effect Tall wheatgrass shoot calcium concentration decreased with salinity.
- Intervention effect Creeping foxtail shoot calcium concentration decreased with salinity.
- Intervention effect Nuttall's alkali grass shoot calcium concentration decreased with salinity.
- Intervention effect Tall wheatgrass maintained growth despite altered shoot ion concentrations.
- Intervention effect Creeping foxtail maintained growth despite altered shoot ion concentrations.
- Intervention effect Nuttall's alkali grass maintained growth despite altered shoot ion concentrations.
- Observation Switchgrass excluded sodium from shoots under salinity.
- Intervention effect Switchgrass maintained shoot potassium and calcium concentrations under salinity.
- Intervention effect Switchgrass shoot dry weight decreased dramatically under salinity.
- Mechanism The authors conclude sodium exclusion maintained switchgrass growth less efficiently than sodium inclusion maintained growth in the other three grasses at 10 dS m−1.
