African Mahogany Work Research Dataset Under Salt Stress

This dataset contains research data on the leaf transpiration response of African mahogany (Khaya senegalensis) seedlings subjected to varying levels of irrigation water salinity, ranging from 0.5 to 5 dS·m⁻¹. The study was conducted using drainage lysimeters in an experimental field in Bahia, Brazil, over a four-month period. The dataset includes measurements of stomatal conductance and photosynthetically active radiation (Qleaf), providing insights into how water salinity influences plant physiology, particularly leaf transpiration. The research shows a significant reduction in transpiration with increasing salinity, especially above 3.5 dS·m⁻¹, and highlights the negative correlation between electrical conductivity and leaf transpiration. The findings emphasize the potential of African mahogany for cultivation in semi-arid regions, with a focus on the importance of proper management practices to ensure sustainable water use and mitigate the effects of salinity.
