Physiological responses of different Oak species to dust in Northern Zagros Forests, Iran
Original language description
This study was conducted to examine the impacts of dust on leaf mineral elements and selected physiological responses of three different Oak species in Western Zagros, Iran. Three-year-old seedlings of the Oak species Quercus brantii, Q. libani and Q. infectoria were exposed to dust under natural conditions. Photosynthesis, chlorophyll, proline and selected leaf mineral elements were examined in a two-factorial experiment including species (Q. brantii, Q. libani and Q. infectoria) and dust exposure (dust-exposed and without dust as control). The results showed that dust had a significant effect on photosynthesis rate of all species. Dust decreased photosynthesis rate to about 38%, 13% and 32% for Q. brantii, Q. libani and Q. infectoria, respectively. Dust also had a significant effect on proline and chlorophyll content of Oak leaves. Q. infectoria had the lowest total chlorophyll content with 42%. Among the studied species, Q. libani appears to be most suitable for growing under dust exposure, as this species had the lowest reduction in chlorophyll and photosynthesis. Planting Q. libani on northern slopes in Zagros forests, where Oak forests receive higher precipitation, presumably enhances the success of forest restoration under the combined effects of climate change and dust exposure.
