Aim of this study is to cooperate in characterization Robinia pseudoacacia L. trees suitable to reforestation of degraded lands in unfavourable environments. Studies of drought effect on physiological and biochemical adaptation was done comparing two black locust clones that showed different responses to the environmental drought. The data indicate that different osmotic potential and its changes as capacity to adapt during drought condition can be one of the causes of difference in trunk growth and accumulation of wood during tree life. Selection of clones by osmotic potential index could help to decide the better clone for different environmental climate zones.

Abstract
Aim of this study is to cooperate in characterization Robinia pseudoacacia L. trees suitable to reforestation of degraded lands in unfavourable environments. Studies of drought effect on physiological and biochemical adaptation was done comparing two black locust clones that showed different responses to the environmental drought. The data indicate that different osmotic potential and its changes as capacity to adapt during drought condition can be one of the causes of difference in trunk growth and accumulation of wood during tree life. Selection of clones by osmotic potential index could help to decide the better clone for different environmental climate zones.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
