Article Synopsis
- The study measured various structural and functional parameters, as well as redox homeostasis, in the leaves of Artemisia santonica growing near Elton Lake, Russia.
- It found that photosynthetic activity and green pigment content were highest in the morning, while key pigments for stress response peaked in the afternoon and declined by evening.
- The results indicated that A. santonica exhibits several protective adaptations to cope with environmental stressors like soil salinization and high solar intensity.
The ability of giant hogweeds to form monodominant communities and even pure monostands in invaded areas has been well documented. Understanding of the mechanisms leading to monostand formation can aid in determining the limitations of existing community ecology models and establishing an effective management plan for invasive species elimination. The aim of this observational study was to investigate traits of Heracleum sosnowskyi plants (demography, canopy structure, morphology and physiology) of the plants in a pure stand in an invaded area useful for understanding potential monostand formation mechanisms.

The leaves of sun plants differed from shade plants in terms of CO(2) exchange rate and photosynthetic pigments content. The total pool XC pigments and the conversion state increased from morning to midday in sun plants.
