Physiological responses of Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) to saline-alkaline soil from Qinghai region, China

Abstract Recently, Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) has been extensively cultivated to improve the fragile ecological environment and increase the income of residents in Qinghai Province, northwestern China. However, few studies have focused on the physiological responses of Goji berry under salt str...
