Seasonal changes in (A) photon flux density (PFD), (B) rainfall, (C–F) variation of titratable acidity at dusk (circles) and dawn (squares), and (G, H) variation in fresh:dry mass ratio (FM/DM) at dusk and dawn in leaves and stems of Sesuvium portulacastrum grown in soil supplemented with sea-salt. Plants were grown for most of the 2017 wet season, and as they transitioned into the 2018 dry season. Acidity levels are expressed per unit fresh mass for leaves (C) and stems (D) and per unit dry mass for leaves (E) and stems (F). Acidity and FM/DM values are means (±SD) (n=5; for leaves, each sample comprised eight leaves). In (C–F), horizontal bars indicate non-significant differences between dusk and dawn values (one-tailed t-test, P≤0.05).
