Abstract The use of microbial inocula for the restoration of severely
degraded arid environments is of great interest. This is because
there is a presumption that growth-favoring microorganisms can
facilitate the establishment of seedlings by increasing their ability
to withstand both the stress of transplantation in the case of nursery
seedlings, and the extreme conditions for natural establishment
imposed by the scarce, random and variable rainfall. In this work
we analyze the “slenderness index”- the height of the plant divided
by its diameter at the height cotyledon node- to analyze the effect
of treatments with microorganisms… More >
