ROOT CARBON RESOURCES DETERMINE SURVIVAL AND GROWTH OF YOUNG TREES UNDER LONG DROUGHT IN COMBINATION WITH FERTILIZATION

Current increases in not only the intensity and frequency but also the duration of drought events could affect the growth, physiology, and mortality of trees.We experimentally studied the effects of drought duration in combination with fertilization on leaf water potential, gas exchange, growth, tissue levels of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs),

Abstract Detecting shielded special nuclear material, such as nuclear explosives, is a difficult challenge pursued by non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, and nuclear security programs worldwide.Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source ava
