Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Abstract Background and Aims Seed germination is negatively affected by salinity, which is
thought to be due to both osmotic and ion-toxicity effects. We hypothesize that salt is …

Aims Most studies on plant responses to salt stress have focused on one salt (eg, NaCl). The
aim of this study was to investigate the salt tolerance of halophytes with different seed …

The spread of invasive plants along elevational gradients is considered a threat to fragile
mountain ecosystems, but it can also provide the opportunity to better understand some of …

Soil analyses of three saltmarshes in Jaén province (southern Spain) indicated Sodic
Solonchack type for Don Benito saltmarsh, and Sodic Calcixerepts for Barranco Hondo and …

Water supply of green spaces in arid areas is a major challenge. A high percentage of green
spacescreate lawns, which are high water consumer landscapes. Due to the environmental …

A lot of work has been done on improving practices for remediation of coastal and inland salt-
affected soils. This has resulted in improving crop yields in these degraded lands and …

Abstract Background and Aims Islands, with their long coastlines and increased vulnerability
to sea level rise, offer compelling opportunities to investigate the salinity tolerance of coastal …

Germination is a vulnerable and risky step in a plant's life cycle. Particularly under harsh
environmental conditions, where time windows favourable for seedling establishment and …

Abstract Background and Aims The capacity for dispersal to promote or hinder species'
responses to global change remains a major question in ecology. One ecosystem …
