Sodium relations in desert plants: 7. Effects of sodium chloride on Atriplex polycarpa and Atriplex canescens
Journal Article

· Soil Sci.; (United States)
Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt. ssp. canescens (Caligonum c. Pursh.) and Atriplex polycarpa (Torr.) Wats. (Obione p. Torr.) plants were grown in Yolo loam soil in a glasshouse with different levels of sodium salts. Both species tolerated concentrations of salt equivalent to seawater, using either NaCl or Na/sub 2/SO/sub 4/. Vegetative yields were sightly higher with chloride, particularly with stems of A. polycarpa; SO/sub 4//sup 2 -/ decreased calcium and magnesium concentrations. Atriplex canescens leaves contained less Na, total cations, Cl, S, and Si, but more N than did those of A. polycarpa. The A. polycarpa would have high concentrations or organic acids in leaves. Chloride decreased N concentrations in leaves of A. polycarpa.
