Response and Factors Affecting Tamarix Tolerance to Salinity and the growth of Tamarix in Iran desert

2026-05-10T05:55:48+00:00

Tamarix (scientific name: Tamarix) is a genus of the Tamarind family. Tamarind is a saltloving tree native to the arid regions of Eurasia and Africa and includes 55 species, of which about 35 species are found in the Middle East and 23 species in Iran. Tamarix is C3 plant. But there is resistant to salt.

In this study, 8 field-grown Tamarix plants were irrigated with 3% (180 mM) salt for one month. Measurements of electrical conductivity (EC), physiological parameters such as stomatal conductance, stem length, leaf cover volume, chlorophyll content, and plant growth were performed on salt-treated and control plants. In the species Tamarix, the results showed that the physiological parameters of the plant showed that the plant species grown under sandy soil texture were more affected by salt exposure than the plant grown in loamy texture. Therefore, considering the greater tolerance of Tamarix to salt and/or water stress and the strict environmental regulations, the planting of native Tamarix species remains a preferred plant over non-native Tamarix around the deserts of Semnan province.

Also Our results have shown that in general the number of trees planted per hectare varies from 1000 to 2500, but their number will vary greatly depending on the tree species and the type of planting.

Dyslexia, Diagnosis, and Disability Discourse: A Case Study of Academic Advisers in Higher Education

2026-05-01T01:21:45+00:00

This paper reports on a case study of the ways in which dyslexia is discursively constructed in relation to higher education and the nature of support offered for students who have been assessed as having the condition. While there has been a shift in contemporary understanding away from considering dyslexia in terms of disability or deficit towards viewing it under the umbrella of neurodiversity, there is still some uncertainty in higher education about what this means in practical terms. Consequently, this study sought to examine some of the issues surrounding making reasonable adjustments for students with dyslexia. Interviews were conducted with academic advisers as part of a wider study on support for students with dyslexia at a UK university. The data was analyzed through utilizing a discursive psychology approach in which three key inter-related themes emerged: (i) diagnoses and dispositions in which dyslexia was externalized as a diagnosable condition versus the constructing it in internal dispositional terms related to student agency; (ii) dyslexia and deadlines in terms of adjustments made for coursework submissions and the tensions around support versus equitable treatment for all students; and (iii) reasonable adjustment and resources in which the advisers’ discourse posed a contrast in terms of what is specified in students’ support plans versus the ‘reality’ of associated resource pressures.
