In the dry regions of Arabian Peninsula, such as Saudi Arabia, rangeland degradation and decline pasture species have significantly reduced phytomass production. The scarcity grazing pastures has led to an expansion alfalfa-irrigated fields, exacerbating risk water shortages. This study is first systematically evaluate adaptability production potential Cenchrus ciliaris accessions in arid environment Arabia. objective this buffelgrass (C. ciliaris) alternative alfalfa irrigated crop systems for livestock assess its suitability reintroduction into degraded rangelands enhance forage For purpose, C. were collected from five different sites northern Arabia (Aja, Jameen, Zaitoun, Gaed, Industrial zone) select most vigorous ecotypes be introduced lands and/or used crop. shows that under full irrigation (2500-3000 mm year−1), can produce 11.9 t ha−1 22.6 with a five-year average 17 ha−1.

Abstract Background The button mangrove ( Conocarpus erectus L.) is regarded as a peripheral species within communities. This particular has the ability to thrive in regions that are arid or semiarid, where there limited availability of nutrients. study provides evidence ecological dominance across various habitats, highlighting its adaptability and success throughout country Pakistan. We collected twelve populations from four distinct regions, including artificial forest plantations, agricultural fields, roadsides, wastelands, offering comprehensive assessment C. diverse environmental contexts. Results Forest plantation exhibited impressive shoot growth moderate root lengths, with plants generally tall well-weighted. Physiologically, they had chlorophyll content low carotenoid levels, balanced a/b ratio, indicating stable photosynthetic activity. Anatomically, these thicker epidermal cortical layers but smaller vascular bundles phloem regions. Stem leaf structures were size, midribs leaves. Agricultural field showed robust systems fresh dry biomass. They high strong capacity. Root stem anatomy revealed larger areas, cortex, wide bundles, reflecting enhanced structural development. Leaves midrib thickness, stomatal promoting efficient gas exchange. Roadside displayed deeper roots reduced biomass production.

Conclusion reveals thriving potential varied providing key insights into resilience survival strategies. Understanding adaptive traits can support habitat restoration, conservation planning, improve management conditions, especially response climate change degradation.

Parthenium weed poses significant threats to cropping systems, socioeconomic structures, and native ecosystems. The pronounced impact is primarily attributed its rapid efficient invasion mechanism. Despite that the detrimental effects of are widely acknowledged, an in-depth scientific comprehension mechanism, particularly regarding modifications in structural functional attributes under natural conditions, still lacking. To bridge this knowledge gap formulate effective strategies for alleviating adverse consequences weed, a study was conducted more cultivated densely populated areas Punjab, Pakistan. This focused on fifteen distinct populations star (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) investigate factors contributing widespread distribution diverse environmental conditions. results revealed variations growth performance, physiological traits, internal structures among from different habitats. wastelands exhibited superior growth, with higher accumulation soluble proteins (TSP) chlorophyll content (Chl a&b, TChl, Car, Chl a/b). These displayed increased root stem area, storage parenchyma, vascular bundle metaxylem phloem area. Significant leaf included thicker leaves, sclarification around bundles, widened vessels. Roadside possessed larger enhanced antioxidant activity, thickness leaves terms midrib lamina, cortical proportion. Populations found agricultural fields depicted shoot biomass production, levels b, total chlorophyll/carotenoid ratio. Additionally, they area their roots, stems, thick epidermis only stem.
