Growth features of species Nitraria (Nitrariaceae) genus under the different types and levels of salinization.

Abstract

It was found out the growth and development of Nitraria individual plants and the area of existence of its populations in landscape is determined by the type and level of salinization. It was determined the range of favourable ecological contents of salts in soils for Nitraria under sulfate conditions are wider (0,7-3,4%), than under chloride conditions (0,2-0,6%). Plants are showing some adaptive behavioral reactions, which contribute to maintenance of optimal salts level within the bounds of their locations in response to changes of level of salinization.
