Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChF) signal analysis has become a widely used and rapid, non-
invasive technique to study the photosynthetic process under stress conditions. It monitors …

With approximately 60 Pg of carbon (C) released as CO2 annually, the decomposition of
dead organic matter feeds the major terrestrial global CO2 flux to the atmosphere …

The definition of stress comes from the physical sciences and refers to the ability of a force
applied to a material to induce a deformation (strain). Unlike materials, living organisms and …

Many morphological, chemical and physiological indicators have been proposed to evaluate
the conditions of plants in ecological systems. Among them, the analysis of the prompt …

Different tree species influence litter decomposition directly through species‐specific litter
traits, and indirectly through distinct modifications of the local decomposition environment …

Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) belongs to the common cultivated grass species in
Central and Western Europe. Despite being considered to be susceptible to drought, it is …

The objective of the present investigation was to understand the efficacy of chlorophyll
fluorescence analysis and to identify the specific photosynthetic parameters for early and …

The photosynthetic responses to the combined effect of drought and heat stress were
studied in leaves of 19-years-old European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) trees originating from …

Due to the poor water solubility of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), adding appropriate adjuvants
to this compound during application is essential. The physicochemical properties of plant …

Plant growth and photosynthesis in response to water status have been extensively
investigated. However, elucidating the photosynthetic process and its indicators under a …
