Plasticity responses of two sympodial bamboo species to nitrogen levels by LI Wei-cheng, WANG Shu-guang, WU Zhi-zhuang, ZHOU Yan, WANG Shu-dong, ZHONG Zhe-ke

“…Under the condition of medium nitrogen fertilizer supply (N₈₀-N₁₂₀), the physiological traits such as P_max, LSP, LCP, R_d and φ_AQY were improved. The data of lower nitrogen supply like N40 treatment implied that the plasticity responses were not significant except for the root and φ_AQY.The higher biomass and SLA of wine bamboo, representing the capacity of absorbing carbon dioxide, implied that it could possess better adaptation and stronger propagation ability in the mid-high mountains of Southwest China after being introduced and afforested.The result of this study indicated that sympodial bamboo such as wine bamboo and D. oldhami should be planted on fertile soils where its habitat is managed to decrease the weeds growth, increase the root radius, branch length and total leaves areas so as to extend the crown to elevate photosynthesis and propagation rate.…”
