“…Considering the interactive effects between the distance and depth, although the N content of undercanopy surface soil was greater than that of the interspace, the N content of the subsurface soil was unaffected. Different percentages of soil N of undercanopy and interspace have been reported by others, for example, 0.37 and 0.030% for A. confertifolia (Charley and West 1975), 0.119 and 0.086 for A. vesicaria (Rixon 1971), and 0.147 and 0.106 for A. nummularia (Fireman and Hayward 1952), respectively. For each character, means followed by the same letters within each row (lowercase letters) and each column (capital letters) are not significantly different at the 0.05 level.…”

“…For instance, under the heat and desiccating conditions, the establishment of new plants is often restricted to the shady places under the canopy of the nurse plants. The nurse plants may be of many vegetation types, including bunchgrasses (Hook, Burke, and Lauenroth 1991), herbaceous legumes (Halvorson, Smith, and Franz 1991), and desert shrubs (Fireman and Hayward 1952;Garcia-Moya and McKell 1970;Charley and West 1977). The facilitative effect may be attributed to the influence of the nurse plant on the distribution of soil resources and biochemical processes in their immediate vicinity (Halvorson et al 1995).…”

“…The leaves and aerial parts of these and similar plants, after falling to the ground, are likely to increase the salinity of soil beneath the plant (Sharma and Tongway 1973;Jessup 1969). Other arid plants have also been reported to be directly responsible for changing the chemical properties of soil beneath the plant (Fireman and Hayward 1952;Karimian and Razmi 1990;Mazzarino et al 1991;Callaway 1994).…”

The present study was conducted in a dry region in southern Iran to evaluate the effects of different Atriplex species on the salinity, soluble ions, and some of the other chemical properties of under-and intercanopy soils. The research region was divided into five separate sites with vegetation cover of the range plants Atriplex lentiformis, A. nummularia, and A. halimus (all newly introduced species) and A. leucoclada and Salsola rigida (both native species). Four 1-kg soil samples (from under-and interspaces of the canopy of tested plants, each in two depths of 0 -10 and 10 -40 cm, were taken from each of the plant sites and analyzed for different determinations. The study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a complete random design with six replicates.Regardless of distance and depth, different plant species resulted in different salinity (based on the EC values of saturation paste) and soluble cation contents in the tested soils. The results showed that the increase in EC values were associated with decreases in pH values of the tested soils.The SAR values followed exactly the same pattern as EC values and Na þ concentrations. In the case of soluble anions, the Cl 2 contents followed exactly the same pattern as the EC values of the tested soils, which indicates that the salts are predominantly chlorides of various cations (especially Na þ ). The OM and total nitrogen (N) contents of the undercanopy were greater than those of the interspace and those of the surface layer were greater than those of the sublayer. Moreover, although the phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) contents of undercanopy and interspace were not significantly different from each other, the P and K contents of the surface layer 15 were greater than those of the subsurface layer. As seen from the results, except for the effect of depth of Mn contents and the interactive effect of distance and depth on Fe contents, neither the single effects (other than plant species) nor the interactive effects were significant on microminerals of the tested soils.Moreover, copper (Cu) was particularly antagonistic toward iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn).

“…Greasewood floodplain horizontal EC and pH gradients may be especially challenging to revegetation efforts. Sodium accumulations beneath greasewood can alter soil physio-chemical characteristics and toxic sodium levels create nutritional imbalances and impair soil physical structure (Fireman and Hayward, 1952). It is likely that Tamarix-greasewood shrublands were once primarily greasewood shrublands and the control of Tamarix would possibly promote the return of this native species.…”

“…Des études subséquentes ont montré ensuite que les propriétés physiques et chimiques du sol variaient en fonction du couvert végétal (Fireman et Hayward, 1952;Harradine, 1954;Zinke, 1962). Les recherches de Zinke (1962) sur l'effet du pin tordu (Pinus Conforta Dougl.…”

RESUMELes terrains dénudés sec (DS) étant classés comme improductifs au sein de la forêt boréale du Québec, leur capacité de support face au boisement, et particulièrement la fertilité du sol, a été jusqu'à maintenant peu étudiée. Étant donné le statut improductif des DS et leur abondance au sein de la forêt boréale québécoise, les boiser revêt un intérêt économique non négligeable. Compte tenu des nombreuses incertitudes propres à cette idée, il s'avère nécessaire de procéder à une évaluation rigoureuse de la capacité de support de ces terrains, notamment sur le plan de la fertilité.
