Hydraulic lift in drought-tolerant and -susceptible maize hybrids

This report has documented the existence of genetic variations in hydraulic lift among maize hybrids and links between hydraulic lift and drought tolerance within maize plants and appears that one of drought tolerance mechanisms in maize may lie in the extent of hydraulic lift.

Wildland plants: physiological ecology and developmental morphology.

Biosolids application in the Chihuahuan desert: effects on runoff water quality.

Surface-applied biosolids, the option most often used on range-lands, can increase the concentration of macronutrients and trace elements in the runoff water and can potentially produce…

Responses of photosynthesis and water relations to rainfall in the desert shrub creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) as influenced by municipal biosolids.

Responses of photosynthesis (P-n), stomatal conductance (g(s)), pre-dawn leaf water potential (Psi (1p)) and leaf water content (omega (1)) of creosote bush to 10 rainfall events in the Chihuahuan…

Surface biosolids application: effects on infiltration, erosion, and soil organic carbon in Chihuahuan Desert grasslands and shrublands.

Biosolids application affected infiltration rate, cumulative infiltration, and erosion in Chihuahuan Desert grassland and shrubland, and the extent of reduction in erosion depended on the initial erodibility of the site.

Biosolids decomposition after surface applications in west Texas.

Chemical analyses of ash samples suggest that Cu and Zn have been lost from biosolids through leaching or runoff and no losses of Pb, Cr, or Hg have occurred since application.
