The planting of seedlings is the most effective measure for vegetation restoration. However,
this practice is challenging in desert ecosystems where water and nutrients are scarce …

Pre‐exposure of plants to abiotic stressors may induce stress memory and improve
tolerance to subsequent stresses. Here, 3‐month‐old Calligonum mongolicum seedlings …

Calligonum mongolicum is a phreatophyte playing an important role in sand dune fixation,
but little is known about its responses to drought and P fertilization. In the present study, we …

In the context of climate change, future patterns of precipitation are expected to increase the
intensity and frequency of drought and flooding stress. This is also likely to result in more …

The negative impact of drought on plant production has become a major issue in the fields of
agriculture and forestry (Alandia et al. 2016, Aaltonen et al. 2017). Thus, elucidating the …

Many semi-arid ecosystems are simultaneously limited by soil water and nitrogen (N). We
conducted a greenhouse experiment to address how N availability impacts drought-resistant …

Nitrogen (N) deposition levels and frequencies of extreme drought events are increasing
globally. In efforts to improve understanding of plants' responses to associated stresses, we …

Drought is one of the major environmental stresses altering forest productivity. However,
nutrient availability can modulate drought resistance. Phoebe zhennan (gold Phoebe) is a …

The plasticity response of Quercus variabilis and Quercus mongolica seedlings to combined
nitrogen (N) deposition and drought stress was evaluated, and their performance in natural …

In the present study, changes in nitrogen uptake, assimilation and the transcript abundance
of associated genes were investigated in Populus simonii seedlings treated with 5 …
