The objective of this study was to determine physiological traits for drought survival and post-drought recovery upon re-watering in two C3 perennial grass species, kentucky bluegrass [KBG (Poa pratensis)] and perennial ryegrass [PRG (Lolium perenne)]. Plants were maintained well watered or exposed to drought stress by withholding irrigation and were then re-watered in a growth chamber. KBG had significantly higher grass quality and leaf photochemical efficiency, and lower electrolyte leakage than PRG during 20 days of drought. After 7 days of re-watering, drought-damaged leaves were rehydrated to the control level in KBG, but could not fully recover in PRG. KBG produced a greater number of new roots, while PRG had more rapid elongation of new roots after 16 days of re-watering. Superior drought tolerance in KBG was associated with osmotic adjustment, higher cell wall elasticity, and lower relative water content at zero turgor. Osmotic adjustment, cell wall elasticity, and cell membrane stability could play important roles in leaf desiccation tolerance and drought survival in perennial grass species. In addition, post-drought recovery of leaf hydration level and physiological activity could be associated with the accumulation of carbohydrates in leaves and rhizomes during drought stress and new root production after re-watering.

Abstract. Drought is a natural climate extreme phenomenon that presents great challenges in forecasting and monitoring for water management purposes. Previous studies have examined the use of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) terrestrial water storage anomalies to measure the amount of water missing from a drought-affected region, and other studies have attempted statistical approaches to drought recovery forecasting based on joint probabilities of precipitation and soil moisture. The goal of this study is to combine GRACE data with historical precipitation observations to quantify the amount of precipitation required to achieve normal storage conditions in order to estimate a likely drought recovery time. First, linear relationships between terrestrial water storage anomaly (TWSA) and cumulative precipitation anomaly are established across a range of conditions. Then, historical precipitation data are statistically modeled to develop simplistic precipitation forecast skill. Three different precipitation scenarios are simulated by using a standard deviation in climatology. Precipitation scenarios are convolved with precipitation deficit estimates to calculate best-estimate of a drought recovery period. The results show that in the regions of strong seasonal amplitude (like monsoon belt) drought continues even with the above-normal precipitation until its wet season. Historical GRACE-observed drought recovery period is used to validate the approach. Estimated drought for an example month demonstrated 80% similar recovery period as observed by the GRACE.

Experiments with maize and sunflower in sol. culture were carried out to investigate the effect of N shortage in the leaf tissue on stomatal behaviour. In maize a linear relation existed between the rate of net CO2 assimilation and the conductance of water vapour, independently of the N status of the tissue. In sunflower a similar relation existed although the evidence was less conclusive. It was concluded that stomatal behaviour cannot explain differences in water-use efficiency between plants growing at different levels of N.

A new form of recording resistance porometer is described which enables records of stomatal behaviour to be obtained concurrently from four different leaves; the porometer cups are automatically detached between readings, exposing the leaf surfaces to the ambient air in order to avoid artifacts due to changes in carbon dioxide concentration. The readings are recorded for the four leaves seriatim , the cup for each remaining attached for 3 min out of every ½ h. The results of several of the preliminary experiments carried out to test the new instrument are presented: 1. Continuous records for periods up to 6 days appear to have no serious effect on the functioning of the stomata under normal conditions. With Taraxacum officinale slightly greater stomatal opening was recorded on the fifth day than on the first; for wheat a slight falling off occurred on the third and fourth days, possibly due to ageing of the leaves. 2. The stomata of similar leaves on different plants which have been subjected throughout to the same sequence of conditions show remarkable uniformity of behaviour at any one time; a great increase in the precision of comparisons of experimental treatments should thus be achieved by applying them to such leaves and recording the results concurrently. 3. Experiments with plants of T . officinale , wheat and Xanthium pennsylvanicum subjected to increasing water strain have shown a marked closing response to the process of taking a reading (which involves forcing air through the leaf). This closing response is first seen some time before visible wilting occurs and for X. pennsylvanicum has been shown to be mainly if not entirely due to a greatly increased sensitivity to carbon dioxide. The biological implica­tions of this are discussed. The stomata (e. g. of T. officinale ) may not re-open fully for 2 or 3 days after re-watering, when the plant is recovering from water strain, but the enhanced sensitivity to readings is only shown while water is actually in short supply, and not during the period of recovery.
