drought Thesaurus Medical Encyclopedia Wikipedia drought (drout)alsodrouth(drouth) n. 1.A long period of abnormally low rainfall, especially one that adversely affects growing or living conditions. 2.A prolonged dearth or shortage. [Middle English, from Old Englishdrūgoth; akin todrȳge,dry.]...
There may be spiny leaves present, or no leaves at all. Many drought-resistant plants also feature longer-than-normal roots that help them in accessing water that has been stored underground. Some species, particularly those of trees, shrubs, and perennials, will adjust their root depths to bi...
Bougainvillea is a drought-tolerant champion and easily one of the toughest shrubs. Why? It can last 3-4 weeks after a deep watering without needing it again. 8. Moss Rose Botanical Name:Portulaca grandiflora USDA Zones:3-11 Moss Roses need watering just a couple of times in spring and fa...
Due to the differences in physiology and rooting patterns, many shrubs are more drought tolerant than trees (Allen et al., 2015; McDowell et al., 2011), which allows them to be less affected by recurrent drought exposure. Recent studies have shown that shrubs are often adapted to withstand ...

Leaf predawn water potential and leaf stomatal conductance of one-year-old seedlings were lower under shrubs than in open microsites, a negative effect of shrubs that was not evident in the two-year-old seedlings. Plant photosynthetic performance of two-year old seedlings was higher under shrubs...

Our results were as follows: 1) drought negatively impacted gas exchange and water status, and stomatal conductance (gs) decreased more than other physiological traits and declined to the greatest extent in shrubs and C3 plants. Furthermore, C4 plants had an advantage compared to C3 plants under...
Typical steppe has medium to high coverage and species richness, with perennial tufted grass and chestnut soil being the main vegetation and soil type, while sandy grassland is dominated by desert with low vegetation coverage, and the main species are perennial semi-shrubs of the Artemisia genus ...
(two drought-tolerant and one drought-susceptible) and found that hybrids with lower root hydraulic conductance (i.e., higher root hydraulic resistance) showed the lowest HL capacity. Root hydraulic conductance is affected by anatomical features of the root vasculature, which have been also ...
