Structural equation model showing the direct and indirect effects of groundwater depth on the soil moisture, soil salinity, growth of Tamarix chinensis and the plant community diversity (a); direct, indirect and total effects of groundwater depth and soil salinity on the growth of T. chinensis and community diversity (b).
#GroundwaterDepth ➡️ Characteristics of #TamarixChinensis shrub communities 🟰 Effects
Results:
1️⃣ Groundwater depth⬆️, soil moisture and salinity ⬇️;
2️⃣ 1.62 m depth, Diversity indicators of community [max];
3️⃣ Groundwater depth ➡️ #SoilSalinity ➡️ #PlantDiversity.

Representative stem transverse sections from two species of saltbush, Atriplex, including A. lentiformis (a and b) and A. polycarpa (c and d). Scale bars are included within each panel. Photo credit: AL Jacobsen.
Mustapha Ennajeh et al. compared #Xylem structure and function of two saltbush shrub species, #AtriplexLentiformis and #AtriplexPolycarpa from differing #Microhabitats, and analyzed their relationship with #SoilSalinity and #Aridity.

Causal relationships between soil temperature (Tsoil), soil moisture (Msoil), soil salinity (Ssoil) and GPP in control (a) and warming plots (b).
Baoyu Sun et al. quantified the causal relationships between plants in a #CoastalWetland and #SoilEnvironment. The findings revealed that warming amplified the interaction between #GrossPrimaryProductivity, and #SoilSalinity in the #CoastalWetlandEcosystem.

🌾Translation to crops: Interestingly, testing this in rice showed the vacuole loading function still works, but a different transporter, not SOS1, seems to handle it.
