Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation All three Ligustrum species were intolerant of severe drought alone or with salt stress.
- Intervention effect Moderate drought reduced leaf area, digital biomass, and chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Moderate drought reduced shoot and root dry biomass and compromised root development.
- Intervention effect Drought and salinity significantly reduced leaf area and digital biomass in L. japonicum Texanum.
- Intervention effect Salinity significantly affected the water band index, particularly when high or combined with drought.
- Intervention effect Shoot dry biomass declined under all stresses.
- Intervention effect Root dry biomass was unaffected under the stresses.
- Intervention effect Salinity most limited leaf area and digital biomass in L. vulgare.
- Intervention effect Combined salt and drought reduced NDVI, chlorophyll, leaf water status, and pigment balance in L. vulgare.
- Intervention effect Salinity and combined stresses most strongly affected shoot dry biomass in L. vulgare.
- Intervention effect Salinity and combined stresses decreased root dry biomass and architecture in L. vulgare.
- Recommendation The authors support using these species as urban greening alternatives.
