Objetivou-se comparar o crescimento e a produtividade de três clones de palma forrageira,
resistentes à cochonilha do Carmim, visando a identificação da contribuição das variáveis …

For centuries biologists have been extremely interested in the structure of desert plants as
examples of natural selection to harsh environmental conditions. Indeed, desert plants are …

Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L. Miller) is a CAM plant with an extraordinary capacity to
store water in its succulent stems (cladodes). However, the daily variations of cladode …

The in-situ quantification of turbulent flux and evapotranspiration (ET) is necessary to
monitor crop performance in stressful environments. Although cacti can withstand stressful …

Invasive alien species are currently considered one of the main threats to global biodiversity.
One of the most rapidly expanding invasive plants in recent times is Kalanchoe× houghtonii …

The cactus pear has demonstrated productive potential in arid and semi-arid regions due to
its photosynthetic process of crassulacean acid metabolism. Thus, this study aimed to …

Climate‐resilient and highly water‐use efficient crops are needed to meet the future food,
feed, fiber, and fuel demands of a growing human population. Cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) …

Cactus pear cladodes, clones 'Miúda'(MIU) and 'Orelha de Elefante Mexicana'(OEM) were
harvested at 6 am and 8 pm during the rainy-dry, dry and rainy seasons to evaluate the …

The objective of this work was to evaluate soil water dynamics in areas cultivated with forage
cactus clones and to determine how environmental conditions and crop growth affect …
