Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect High salt concentrations reduced poplar growth.
- Intervention effect High salt concentrations led to leaf damage and shedding in poplar.
- Intervention effect Selenium had no detrimental effect on poplar growth.
- Observation Salinity at which dry weight was reduced ranged from about 3.3 to about 7.6 dS m-1 depending on clone.
- Association Relative dry weight yield decrease with increasing salinity was about 10 to 15% per dS m-1, varying among clones.
- Observation Poplar clones differed significantly in genetic variation for salt tolerance.
- Association Salinity affected the Se and B accumulation patterns in poplar leaves.
- Association Leaf C1 concentrations increased in relation to C1 concentrations in the irrigation waters, and varied among clones.
- Association Salt tolerance in poplar was generally related to leaf and stem C1.
- Association Salt tolerance in poplar was also influenced by growth and vigor characteristics and by allometric relationships between leaves and stems that determine the sinks where ions accumulate.
- Observation Poplar is more salt tolerant than avocado trees.
- Observation Poplar is significantly less salt tolerant than eucalyptus.
