Abiotic Plant Stresses in Central Anatolian Aridlands
2024
Donmez, Abdullah Huseyin | Yildiz, Oktay
Prevealing stress factors affecting plant performance in the Central Anatolian arid lands are drought, heat, frost, salt and lack of usable forms of some nutrients. Although the region is climatically arid, seasonal drought is frequently observed. Although not throughout the region, saline soils cause problems in some bottom lands, especially as sodic soils. Among the nutrients, the scarcity of the usable form of phosphorus iron, copper and zinc stand out. Since the success of afforestation efforts in the region has so far been explained by silvicultural practices, most mechanisms limiting plant growth have not been understood. Therefore, studies on ecological and physiological stress factors that limit plant growth can increase the success of restoration efforts in the region.
