Arid and semi-arid environments contain relatively high species diversity and are subject to intense use, in particular extensive cattle grazing. The expansion of perennial species in to the grasslands decreases the value of the rangeland, because it makes necessary to control the shrubs, which is not practical in the long term. This paper is a bibliographic review of the ecological importance of the Prosopis (mequite) genus. We compiled information on all the species associated to mesquite (ca. 208 genera and 600 species from different taxa) and we propase that it is important to conserve the mesquites in order to maintain the diversity of the other associated species. We also stress the importance of mesquite as a keystone species in the balance of nitrogen and carbon in the arid and semiarid environments soils. We conclude that the conservation of the mesquites is very relevant, in particular in areas where people want to remove them and convert the environment to grasslands.

Thermal dissipation sap flow rate probe was used to measure trunk sap flow dynamic of Poplar during the growing season from September 2011 to May 2012 in coastal region of China. The relationship of trunk sap flow rate and meteorological factors was analyzed. The results showed that the process of sap flow rate of Poplar presented an obvious day and night alternate phenomenon. The diurnal variation of sap flow was a single-peak curve in sunny day and a multi-peak curve in rainy day. According to Pearson correlation analysis, the diurnal sap flow rate of Poplar was positively correlated with solar radiation and atmospheric temperature, and negatively correlated with air relative humidity. The regression analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between multi-day sap flow rate and solar radiation, and the determination coefficient was 0.287 and 0.778 in summer and autumn, respectively. The linear regression model of multi-day sap flow with meteorological multi-factor was remarkable correlation, and the determination coefficient was 0.577 and 0.791 in summer and autumn, respectively. The regression model of multi-day sap flow with meteorological multi-factor was better than with single meteorological factor.
