Research highlights: Water transport and CO2 diffusion are two important processes that determine the CO2 assimilation efficiency in leaves. The integration of leaf economic and hydraulic traits will help to present a more comprehensive view of the succession of woody plants in arid regions. However, studies on hydraulic traits of plants from different successional stages are still rare compared to that on economic traits in arid regions. Materials and methods: We selected 31 species from shrub stage, pioneer tree stage and late successional stage on the Loess Plateau, and measured five economic traits and five hydraulic traits of these species. Results: We found species from the pioneer tree stage exhibited "fast-growing" characteristics with high maximum net photosynthesis rate (Pmax) and vein density (VD). Species from the late successional stage exhibited "slow-growing" characteristics with low Pmax and VD. Economic traits showed no significant differences among the three stages except for Pmax. Hydraulic traits, such as VD, leaf area to sapwood area ratio and vessel frequency, exhibited significant differences among different stages. Conclusions: Hydraulics may play an important role in the succession of woody plants in arid regions. Hydraulic traits and Pmax, should be combined to investigate succession of woody plants in future studies. The "fast-growing" characteristics of pioneer trees and "slow-growing" characteristics of late successional trees may induce the succession of woody plants.

<p class="western" align="justify">Several forest species typical of semi-arid regions are used for afforestation and mulungu among them has great ecological importance. This study aims to evaluate the development of mulungu (Erythrina velutina Willd) seedlings from seeds which have been submitted to different dormancy breaking treatments. The seeds were submitted to eleven treatments: mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 80 (T1); mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 60 (T2); hole with soldering iron hole(T3); mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 60 + immersion in water for 24 hours (T4); mechanical scarification with sandpaper No. 80 + immersion in water for 24 hours (T5); immersion in water at 60 °C for 5 minutes (T6); immersion in water at 80 °C for 5 minutes (T7); immersion in water at 90 °C for 5 minutes (T8); immersion in water for 24 hours (T9); immersion in water for 48 hours (T10) and hole with soldering iron hole+ immersion in water for 24 hours (T11). The treatments applied were efficient in the beginning of development the seedling’s (height, stem diameter and number of leaves), the treatments with water immersion showed better results for the analysis of the total fresh phytomass, divergent results from the literature were found for water scarification treatments, resulting in the least developed seedlings. Thus, it seems clear that of E. velutina dormancy can be overcome with different methods, in order to promote faster germination, and the mechanical scarification more efficient in the initial development of the seedling.</p>

Abstract F. religiosa is best known as a large shade tree grown in villages and locations of religious importance in south Asia. It is relatively fast-growing and deciduous, often an epiphyte when young. It grows well on a wide range of soils in semi-arid regions and is drought-resistant. F. religiosa produces good quality fodder. The leaves are used for miniature paintings. F. religiosa is a host for lac insects and some silkworms (Mabberley, 1997).

The paper considers the modern university as an economic growth driver within the University 3.0 concept (education, research, and commercialization of knowledge). It demonstrates how the University 3.0 is becoming the basis for global competitiveness of national economies and international alliances, and how its business ecosystem generates new fast-growing industries, advanced technology markets and cost-efficient administrative territories.
