Article Synopsis
- The incidence of mangrove mortality due to drought is rising, but their long-term ability to adapt to severe drought conditions is not well understood.
- A study compared leaf water relations in two mangrove species before and after a severe drought, finding that prior drought conditions enhanced salinity tolerance through coordinated physiological adjustments.
- These adjustments allowed mangroves to maintain leaf function during dry seasons, but also indicated a risk of restricted water use as salinity increased, highlighting the importance of plasticity in leaf water relations for mangrove survival.
Background: To date, there is limited consensus on post-contest recovery recommendations for natural physique athletes. The available literature emphasizes the negative consequences of extreme dieting associated with physique contests, yet offers only speculative suggestions to facilitate physiological recovery post-contest. This scoping review evaluates evidence-based recommendations for recovery in post-physique contests.
