Gypsum-exclusive plants accumulate more leaf S than non-exclusive species both in and off gypsum

Andreu Cera et al.

Summary: Gypsum-exclusive species, known as gypsophiles, grow in gypseous soils with unique leaf elemental signatures due to their specific nutritional requirements. However, research shows that these plants are able to complete their life cycle in non-gypseous soils as well, producing more seeds, greater biomass, and higher photosynthetic assimilation rates. Despite this, gypsophiles still maintain a distinct leaf chemical signature compared to gypsovags, especially with a high leaf sulfur content under all soil conditions.

Seed germination of a rare gypsum-associated species, Arctomecon californica (Papaveraceae), in the Mojave Desert

Tiffany J. Pereira et al.

Summary: The study on Arctomecon californica germination revealed that low temperature exposure had a promotive effect, sulfuric acid initially enhanced the cold stratification process but its effect diminished over time, and a one-season field conditioning treatment was relatively ineffective, indicating longer cold stratification events are necessary for germination.
