What is Solid shelter tubes alleviate summer stresses during outplanting in drought-tolerant species of Mediterranean forests about?
The effect of shelter tubes on plant performance has been widely studied. Although, the role of shelter tubes in alleviating the effects of drought and high-irradiance stresses during seedling establishment has been less studied than its effect on survival. The present study compares the effects of shelter tubes with different light transmissivities (Lt) on survival and morpho-physiological responses of two coexisting tree species (drought-tolerant Quillaja saponaria and relatively more drought-sensitive Maytenus boaria) of the Chilean matorral during an exceptionally dry and warm growing season (2014)(2015). Two-yearold seedlings were randomly assigned to shelter tubes differing in Lt (20, 40, 60, 80%) or to a control (no shelter, Lt 100%) at field conditions. Survival was measured monthly, while shoot and root biomass, root length, pre-dawn xylem water potential, and nonstructural carbohydrate concentration (NSC) were measured 8 months after transplanting. Shelter tubes increased the seedling survival of Q. saponaria by 80-100% relative to the control conditions, where full mortality was observed by the end of the experiment. By contrast, M. boaria exhibited high mortality regard
