Physiological Adaptation to Drought in the Carbon Assimilation and Water Loss of Xerophytes

T. F. Neales, +2 more

TLDR
Assimilation of carbon dioxide in the dark and on inverted stomatal rhythm are important adaptations of xerophytes as mentioned in this paper. But their adaptation is not suitable for the environment in which they live.

The Carbon Balance of Plants

TL;DR: This analysis will stimulate studies which will provide, for a given series of bio­ types, the total information on carbon gain, use, and loss, so that quantitative models can be derived relating to shortand long-term environmental influences.

Isotopic Evidence of Early Maize Cultivation in New York State

J. C. Vogel, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1977 - 
TL;DR: Maize is a C-4 plant, hence maize cultivators living in predominantly C-3 plant environments should show significant isotopic differences from local hunter-gatherers in their skeletal remains; the importance of maize in their diet should also be measurable.

Crop Water Deficits: A Decade of Progress

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the various aspects of crop water deficits and found that the identification of the root as the site of sensing soil water deficits does not eliminate the role of turgor pressure as the transducer of water deficits, but moves the emphasis from leaf to the root.

Plant responses to water deficits, water-use efficiency, and drought resistance

TL;DR: Some of the physiological bases for differences among species in water-use efficiency and drought resistance are examined, with special attention given to CO 2 assimilation and transpiration.

A Comparison of the Structure, Primary Productivity, and Transpiration of Cypress Ecosystems in Florida

Sandra Brown
TL;DR: In cypress domes and scrub cypress forest, where water may be limiting, trees appear to adjust to potential water stress through leaf morphology adaptations and minimum canopy development, and total water loss from cypress forests increased with increasing P inputs.
