Abstract excerpt
Arid ecosystems, characterized by severe water scarcity, play a crucial role in preserving Earth's biodiversity and resources. The Tarim Basin in Northwestern China, a typical arid region isolated by the Tianshan Mountains and expansive deserts, provides a special study area for investigating how plant response and adaptation to such environments. Tamarix hispida, a species well adapted to saline-alkaline and...
