Tamarix chinensis is a species of tamarisk known by the common names five-stamen tamarisk [1] and Chinese tamarisk [2] or saltcedar. It is native to China and Korea, and it is known in many other parts of the world as an introduced species and sometimes an invasive noxious weed. It easily inhabits moist habitat with saline soils.
Agronomic studies often focus on the above-ground part of plant biomass, and consider crop growth rates rather than individual plant growth rates. Nonetheless there is a strong corollary between the two approaches. More specifically, the ULR as discussed above shows up in crop growth analysis as well, as: = . = .
In a 2013 study which examined if native plant growth was hindered by the microbiota associated with the presence of Tamarix, a relatively new invasive plant to the northern United States, Elymus lanceolatus and other native plants in fact grew better when a small soil sample from areas where Tamarix trees grew was mixed in with the potting ...
PAI may go negative if a tree loses volume due to damage or disease. Periodic annual increment is commonly used instead of current annual increment as a basis for computing growth per cent. Growth per cent indicates the rate of increase with relation to the wood capital required for its production, this is usually based on a single year's ...
Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA) is a tool used in the United States to assess an area's ecological integrity based on its plant species composition. [1] Floristic Quality Assessment was originally developed in order to assess the likelihood that impacts to an area "would be irreversible or irretrievable...to make standard comparisons among various open land areas, to set conservation ...
Trichosanthes cochinchinensis [2] is a climbing plant in the family Cucurbitaceae, [1] but the name may be unresolved, [3] with The Plant List indicating that Gymnopetalum cochinchinense is a synonym of G. chinense (Lour.)
The Tamaricaceae, the tamarisk family, are a family of plants native to drier areas of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It contains four genera: Tamarix (with 73 species), Reaumuria (25 species), Myricaria (13 species), and Myrtama (a single species).
Specific leaf area is a ratio indicating how much leaf area a plant builds with a given amount of leaf biomass: S L A = A M L {\displaystyle SLA\ =\ {\frac {A}{M_{L}}}} where A is the area of a given leaf or all leaves of a plant, and M L is the dry mass of those leaves.
