This study examined the effects of two bacterial strains on the halophyte Nitraria schoberi under salinity and dust stress. The results showed that these bacterial strains improved plant growth against these stresses.
Playas have a high potential for producing dust, sand, and salt storms, which can influence human health and agricultural land in the near future. Growing vegetation is an effective way to control wind erosion, but events like soil salinity and dust storms prevent vegetation from settling in these areas. In this study, the effects of two halotolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial strains, Bacillus pumilus HR and Zhihengliuella halotolerans SB, on morpho-physiological and nutritional status of the desert halophyte Nitraria schoberi under the stress of salinity (0, 300, and 600 mM NaCl) and dust (0 and 1.5 g m(- 2 )month(-1)) were examined. The results showed that salinity, dust and the combination of the two stresses had a negative effect on most morphological and physi-ological traits of the plant. Salinity stress reduced potassium, iron, and manganese of N. schoberi by 28, 30, and 21 %, and increased anthocyanins, proline, and peroxidase by 21, 92, and 16 %, respectively. Both bacterial strains and their combination improved plant growth against such stresses. The effect of B. pumilus HR strain was more than that of Z. halotolerans SB strain on the plant. HR strain and SB strain increased chlorophyll a by 62 and 25 %, total dry biomass by 66 and 31 % at 300 mM NaCl level, respectively, and significantly increased seedling quality index by 72 and 76 %, respectively, under dust stress. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the presence of bacterial strains decreased antioxidant compounds (negative correlation) and increased mineral elements, chlorophyll, total dry biomass, and seedling quality index. This information can help us in the optimal afforestation of this plant species and the fixation of salt dust in the playa under the conditions of climate change in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.
