Assessing the effects of drought stress on photosynthetic performance and physiological resistance in camphor seedling leaves.

The impact of seasonal short-term drought on plant physiology and resilience is crucial for conservation and management strategies. This study investigated drought stress effects on growth, photosynthetic capacity, and physiological responses of Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) seedlings in Guangxi province, China. Fertilized potted plants underwent continuous drought treatments to assess varying water supply effects.

Soil aggregate stability and its response to overland flow in successive Eucalyptus plantations in subtropical China.

Soil aggregates constitute the basic units of the soil structure, and soil aggregate stability is an important indicator of soil erodibility. Successive planting of fast-growing plantations can change the erosion resistance of the soil under rainfall conditions. Pure Eucalyptus plantations in this study (first- to fourth-generations, i.
