“…This disrupts the leaf osmotic balance, which decreases plant growth and leaf P and increases the Zn concentration (Cline et al 1986;Guevara et al 2010). Moreover, the availability of heavy elements-such as arsenic, copper, or cadmium, which are commonly found in dryland ecosystems-can increase under high soil pH (Alban et al 2002;Senthilkumar et al 2005;Mokgalaka-Matlala et al 2009). Similarly, soil EC is related to the concentrations of all cations and anions in solution, and thus provides information on the overall soil fertility (Officer et al 2004).…”

Key message Soil pH, EC, and salinity explain the leaf nutrient concentrations of Prosopis pallida despite the high amount of soil nutrients near the trees. Abstract Dryland forests constantly face extreme abiotic conditions, and this affects plant growth and nutrition. We have determined the effects of soil chemical attributes and soil nutrients on the leaf nutrient concentrations of eight Prosopis pallida populations located along a climatic gradient in the North-Peruvian dryland forests. We analyzed the leaf chemical composition (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn), as well as soil chemical attributes [texture, pH, salinity (electrical conductivity; EC), and the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR)] and soil nutrient concentrations (the same elements as in the leaves) at 2 m from the base of each tree. The soil and leaf nutrient concentrations were not associated with the climatic gradient and were highly variable within populations. Despite the dry conditions, the soil nutrients were not a limiting resource (eutric conditions), and thus the soil chemical attributes were the main driver of the variation in leaf nutrient concentrations. Interestingly, leaf Mn was correlated with soil and leaf nutrients, as well as with soil chemical attributes, suggesting it can be used as an early indicator of plant nutrition.

“…Its initial introduction was most successful because it grows in dense thickets, is tasty to livestock and herbivores, and performs well in terms of reproduction, yielding up to 40 kg Fig. 1: Location and map of Banni grassland in Gujarat, India and overview of its invasion, importance, management and control of seedpods and 60,000 seeds a year (Alban et al, 2002). The seeds of P. juliflora have high seed viability and germinate fast in arid soil, ultimately imposing competition with native species.…”

Prosopis juliflora is one among the top hundred recognized invasive species worldwide. The synergized effect of arid climatic conditionsand inherent soil salinity channeled this species’s intentional introduction in Banni grassland. Due to the allelopathic effect of this speciesthe existence of native grass species is in danger. However, in recent years, P. juliflora has replaced many of the native vegetation andis being recognized as an important species for the ecological stability of Banni grassland. Several ecologists have studied the role ofthis species in stabilizing the grassland ecosystem. In the present paper, its economic role is broadly reviewed with the vegetationcover maintained by it. In Banni grassland, the grass species grow only in monsoon and persists few months. For rest of the year (i.e. insummer) the green cover is maintained by P. juliflora. However, this species has provided remarkable livelihood opportunities. Apartfrom counting the negative effects, the counter-positive effects of the species have been recognized through this paper. P. juliflora hasslowly transformed the Banni grassland into woodland. It has also altered the micro-diversity in the soil and ultimately transformedthe whole ecosystem into new regimes. Eradication and reversion of P. juliflora spread is rather impossible. Hence, the managementaspects of P. juliflora that need to maximize its positive features are discussed.

“…Kunth). De acordo com a International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN, 2015) a algaroba é considerada uma das mais importantes exóticas invasoras do mundo, sendo encontrada em várias regiões áridas e semiáridas do globo, a exemplo da Austrália (Alban et al, 2002), Etiópia (Shiferaw et al, 2004), Iêmen (Ali & Labrada, 2006), Índia (Kathiresan, 2006;Sato, 2013), Sudão (Elfadl & Luukkanen, 2003;Babiker, 2006), Quênia (Choge & Ngujiri, 2006), Emirados Árabes (El-Keblawy & Adbedlfatah, 2014), e do Havaí, nos EUA (Dudley et al, 2014), dentre outros.…”

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a sociabilidade de espécies autóctones da Caatinga com a exótica invasora Prosopis sp. (algaroba) para o emprego em projetos de recuperação de áreas invadidas. Foram instaladas 20 parcelas de 100 m², onde todas as espécies lenhosas com altura ≥ 15 cm tiveram contabilizados o número de indivíduos. Para avaliar a associação das espécies nativas com a algaroba foi utilizado o coeficiente de Jaccard. Para inferir sobre a correlação de Prosopis sp. com os demais táxons, foi empregado o coeficiente de Pearson e para a categorização do desempenho das espécies nativas foi feita a média aritmética da somatória do índice de associação e do coeficiente de Pearson. Foram amostradas 28 espécies associadas a Prosopis sp., das quais 14 apresentaram pelo menos cinco indivíduos e estavam em mais de duas unidades amostrais. A espécie com melhor desempenho foi Lantana camara (0,62 – muito bom), seguida por Herissantia crispa (0,41 - bom), Cynophalla hastata (0,32 - médio), Ipomoea carnea e Celtis iguanaea (0,27 - médio) e Mimosa pseudosepiaria (0,2 - médio). Em vistas dos resultados obtidos e dos atributos ecológicos das espécies, conclui-se que as espécies listadas nesse estudo são as mais indicadas para o plantio consorciado em áreas invadidas por Prosopis sp.
