<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[The population and its community characteristics of Michelia odora in southcentral Jiangxi were analyzed，according to the statistics from 9 sample plots. The result show:the population distribution pattern was clumped，and the diameter structure was slumping type. There are 112 species of vascular plants in these communities (including varieties)with M.odora，belonging to 60 families and 96 genera. Phanerophytes are dominant in the life form spectrum，accounted for 68.42%. The floristic analysis shows the origin of its flora is very ancient，the geographical element is complex，and has obvious tropical character. Communities with M.odora had slightly low species diversity index except Pielou index，which has a little difference among investigated plots，the variation patterns of species diversity of communities with M.odora were dissimilar whichever the index was used. The order of the magnitude of Simpson and Pielou index was: shrub layer＞herb layer＞tree layer，and that of Shannonwiener and Richness index was: shrub layer＞tree layer＞herb layer. The major factors threatening the development of M.odora include innate biological characteristics and predatory destruction of habitat to natural population due to human disturbances.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Based on standard community survey methodologies，community analysis of undergrowth vegetation in the Eucalyptus grandis×E.urophylla industrial plantations were analyzed. The results showed that，totally 154 vascular plants species belonging to 57 families and 124 genera were found. The dominating families were Gramineae and Compositae. The distribution of different plants was dispersed. And，there were no distinguishing dominating genera. 53 spermatophyte families could be classified into six areal types and two variables，mainly composed of tropical distribution families； 120 spermatophyte genera could be classified into 14 areal types and 7 variables which were dominated by 14 tropical distribution genera as dominating areal types. The pantropic areal types accounted for 2804% of noncosmopolitan families. From the above，the flora composition of the undergrowth vegetation in the Eucalyptus grandis×E.urophylla industrial plantations was very complicated. There were two layers of undergrowth vegetation in the Eucalyptus grandis×E.urophylla industrial plantations: herbaceous layer and shrub layer，but the layers were less obviously classified and the herbaceous layer predominated. The species richenss of herbaceous layer was more than shrub layer’s. The Simpson index，ShannonWiener index，evenness index of herbaceous layer was less than shrub layer’s. The habitat heterogeneity space and intense human disturbances had great impacts on its species composition and distribution.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Hibiscus tiliaceus is a mangrove associate species with high medicinal，ecological and ornamental values and plays an important role in coastal ecosystem. The study on the ecological and biological characteristics of H.tiliaceus showed that it was a typical heliophyte with high photosynthetic capacity and preferred to grow under sunny condition in tropical and subtropical regions. The chlorophyll fluorescence rapid light response curves of H.tiliaceus showed that relative electron transport rate(rETR)increased with elevated photosynthetically active radiation(PAR)and reached its maximum value at 2 751 μmol•m2•s1，indicating that its photosystem Ⅱ maintained relatively high electron transport rate in high radiation condition. Measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters showed that it had a relatively high level of energy use efficiency. The chlorophyll a/b ratio(2.44∶1) was slightly lower than theoretic value(3∶1). H.tiliaceus had a high level of nutrient utilization efficiency. The weighted nutrient concentrations of N，P，K，Ca，Na and Mg in H.tiliaceus were 1.23%，0.23%，1.34%，0.42%，0.24% and 0.41%，respectively. The concentration of phosphorus(P)in the plant was relatively low，so it should be added in cultivation.

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Endogenous parasitizing insects greatly affect the development and survival of seeds. Seed satiation hypothesis propose that large seeds always survive better from insect infestation than small seeds，but animal optimal foraging theory suggests that large seeds may be infested by insect at a higher rate. Our objective was to test which one of the two conflicting hypotheses was actually in conformity with the seed adaptive strategy against insect parasitism in three oak species. Seeds of three oak species，Quercus glauca，Castanopsis sclerophylla and Q.acutissima were collected as study materials from Hangzhou city and Songyang county of Zhejiang，an eastern province of China. The size and germination rate of infested and sound seeds were studied for each species，and the relationship between germination rates and seed size of infested and noninfested seeds were examined within species and between species. The results showed that:(i)the sizes of infested seeds of Q.acutissima and Q.glauca were insignificantly larger than those of sound seeds in populations from Songyang，but were insignificantly smaller in other 4 populations；(ii)germination rate of infested seeds was significantly lower than that of sound seeds in each population of the three species；(iii)for infested seeds of each oak species，large sized seeds always had a higher germination rate than small sized seeds，but the difference in germination rate was not statistically significant. Infested seeds of Q.acutissima，the species with largest seed，had a significant higher germination rate than the other two species. The results suggested that the weevils do not have a preferences to oviposit on large seed，but large seeds might be more tolerant to insect parasitism.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[In order to explore the renewal potential, diversity degree and stability level in different types of <i>Pinus</i> and <i>Quercus </i>forests in Baxianshan Nature Reserve and to clarify their relationships, three types of natural secondary forests, <i>Pinus tabuliformis</i> forest, <i>Quercus mongolica</i> forest and mixed <i>Pinus tabuliformis</i> and <i>Quercus variabilis</i> forest were selected in Baxianshan Nature Reserve. The structure and renewal potential of constructive species were investigated, the diversities of different levels in communities were calculated and the M.Godron index was determined. The principal component analysis was used to develop an evaluation model. The results were as follows:(1)The DBH class structure of <i>Pinus tabuliformis</i> population distributed normally in the mature stage but with little seedlings. Few seedlings of <i>P. tabuliformis</i> were observed. The numerous seedlings and young individuals of <i>Quercus variabilis</i>, <i>Q. mongolica</i> and broad-leaved weed trees presented greater regeneration potential.(2)The diversity in arbor layer of mixed <i>Pinus tabuliformis</i>-<i>Quercus variabilis</i> forest was higher than other communities, while that in shrub layer was the lowest. The diversity in herb layer of <i>Pinus tabuliformis </i>forest was lowest. The overall species richness in the mixed <i> Pinus tabuliformis</i>-<i>Quercus variabilis</i> forest is the lowest with the highest evenness.(3)The M. Godron stability indicated that <i>Q. mongolica</i> forest was close to the stable point, while <i>Pinus tabuliformis</i> forest was far away.(4)The PCA biplot showed that M.Godron stability was positively correlated with population regeneration potential and Alatalo evenness index. The comprehensive characteristics of communities was ordered as mixed <i>P. tabuliformis</i>-<i>Quercus variabilis</i> forest, <i>Q. mongolica</i> forest and <i>Pinus tabuliformis</i> forest. It is concluded that the population regeneration potential of constructive species and species evenness take great influence on community stability, and the seedlings and young individuals of <i>Quercus </i>should be protected during the forest management.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[<i> Clematis patens</i> is a wild plant resource with excellent ornamental and medicinal values. In order to make clear the flowering process and pollination rules of <i>C. patens</i>, and to explore effects of introduction environment on flowering process of <i>C. patens</i>, the flowering phenology and pollination characteristics of <i>C. patens</i> on individual and population levels were observed and studied for two consecutive years(2017—2018)by the method of location observation. The results were as follows:(1)The flowering period of the population of <i>C. patens</i> was from mid-May to mid-June. The initial flowering period and the final flowering period were shorter, while the flowering period was longer, about 20 d; the flowering period of a single plant was 5-7 d, and the flowering period of the population was more than 30 d. The flowering proportion showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The cumulative flowering ratio reached 100% one week after flowering. The two-year flowering synchronization index(<i>S<sub>i</sub></i>)was 0.76 and 0.74, respectively, indicating that the difference in flowering characteristics of <i>C. patens</i> in the two years was little.(2)There were 6 species, 13 families and 18 species of flower-visiting insects for <i>C. patens</i>. They have certain differences in the flower-visiting frequency, the flower-visiting behavior, and the retention time on a single flower. There were mainly eight kinds of pollinating insects, which belong to three orders and four families. <i>Apis cerana</i>, <i>Eristalis arbustorum </i>and <i>Betasyrphus serarius</i> had high flower-visiting frequency and long stays on single flowers. It could be preliminarily determined that they played an important role in the pollen transmission of <i>C. patens</i>. The observation of the flowering characteristics of <i>C. patens</i> and the flower-visiting insects as well as the study of the behaviors of the stealing insects, provide the reference for the introduction, cultivation and off-the-spot conservation of<i> C. patens</i>.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Intra-inflorescence variation in floral sex allocation and reproductive success are common in hermaphroditic plants, and several non-exclusive hypotheses, including resource competition, architectural effect and the mating environment, have been formulated to explain this phenomenon. In order to investigate the optimal allocation mode of male and female reproductive resources between different positions in the inflorescence, through comparison of floral and seed traits, the floral sex allocation and female reproductive success within inflorescences of <i>Delphinium trichophorum</i>(Ranunculaceae), a typical alpine plant of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was investigated. Observation of pollinator movements, artificial flower-removal experiment, and hand-supplemental pollination were also used to investigate the effects of resource competition and mating environment on allocation of reproductive resource in the inflorescence. The results were as follows:(1)From bottom to upper positions of inflorescence, stamen number, stamen fresh mass/pistil fresh mass, pollen number and pollen/ovule ratio all increased significantly, while pistil fresh mass and ovule number declined gradually, which showed upper flowers performed male-biased function. Seed set ratio of upper flowers were significantly lower than those of bottom and intermediate flowers. The number and mass of mature seed per fruit decreased significantly with the increase of flower position, indicating greater female reproductive success of bottom flowers.(2)The flower-removal experiment improved single seed mass of the remaining fruits, but did not increase the number of mature seeds per fruit. There were no differences of seed set ratio among positions after hand-supplemental pollination of upper flowers, which suggested that the position-dependent pattern of seed reproduction within inflorescences was attributed to pollen limitation rather than resource competition.(3)The protandry of <i>D. trichophorum</i> and the directional visiting behaviors(from bottom to upper)of pollinator <i>Bombus sushikini</i> led to variations of mating environment within inflorescences. All the above results indicate that intra-inflorescence variation in floral sex allocation and reproductive success of <i>D. trichophorum </i>are results of adaptation to mating environment, and this strategy is of great importance to optimize the male and female fitness for the species.]]></description>

The spatial distribution pattern, intraspecies and interspecific spatial correlations of the two species were analyzed by pairwise correlation function and different zero models(complete spatial randomness, heterogeneous Poisson and antecedent condition), and the construction mechanism of the community was discussed from the point of view of the spatial distribution pattern of the same congeneric species. The results were as follows:(1)In the study of population spatial distribution pattern, the spatial distribution pattern of the two species was generally aggregation distribution. The aggregation scales on the basis of the CSR zero model, the <i>L. pungens</i> and the different diameter stages(sapling, small tree, medium tree, adult tree)were 0-114 m, 0-103 m, 0-56 m, 0-34 m, and 0-16 m, respectively, and the aggregation scales of the <i>L. elongata</i> and the different diameter stages were 0-150 m, 0-150 m and 0-59 m, 0-56 m and 0-14 m; On the basis of the HP-zero model, the spatial distribution pattern of the whole <i>L. pungens</i> was 0-23 m, where in all of the sapling, small and medium trees were 0-22 m, and the aggregation distribution of adult trees was only on the scale of 0-3 m. The aggregation scale of the whole spatial distribution pattern of <i>L. elongata</i> was 0-36 m and 140-150 m, and the aggregation scale of each diameter grade was 0-35 m, 0-35 m, 0-12 m and 0-6 m.(2)In the study of intraspecific correlation, the intraspecies correlation of different diameter individuals showed positive correlation on a small scale, and became weakly unrelated or negative with the increase of scale.(3)In the study of interspecific correlation, the spatial relationship between the two species was about the same. On the whole, the two species showed positive correlation with another species within 30 m scale and negative correlation within 40-68 m scale, and there was no correlation between different diameter grades, and there was positive or negative correlation between the two species. It is considered that the spatial distribution pattern of the population is basically aggregation distribution, which is mainly affected by habitat heterogeneity and diffusion. The spatial distribution patterns of <i>L. pungens</i> and <i>L. elongata</i> in large sample plot are similar, and different habitat preferences may be the cause of the coexistence of the two species.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[In order to explore the influence of alpine grassland types and altitudes on growth and reproduction traits of <i>Lamiophlomis rotata</i>, random quadrat investigation and sample collection were conducted under three grassland types and three altitude gradients in Maqu, and the growth and reproduction traits were measured. The results were as follows:(1)The traits of aboveground parts were alpine swamp meadow &gt; alpine hillside meadow &gt; alpine shrub meadow, and the traits of the underground parts were alpine swamp meadow &gt; alpine shrub meadow &gt; alpine hillside meadow;(2)The traits were decreased with the increase of altitude;(3)In different grassland types and altitudes, there was a significant positive correlation between the sexual reproduction structure and plant size, but there was no correlation between the asexual reproduction and plant size;(4)In different grassland types and altitudes, there was no correlation between the two reproduction modes. All the above results indicate that the resource allocation method is affected by grassland types, which is the result of long-term adaptation to the environment; The occurrence of sexual reproduction requires a certain amount of vegetative growth accumulation, while the asexual reproduction may be the inherent characteristics of plants, independent of plant size; The asexual propagation of rhizome bud may occur after the destruction of the aboveground rather than the active behavior. Whether the uncorrelation between the two propagation modes would be affected by other factors needs further study.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Allelochemicals secreted by invasive alien plants can affect the growth and physiological characteristics of native plants, and nutrient availabilities have an important influence on the allelopathic potential of invasive plants. The <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> planted <i>in situ</i> was adjacent to the same species of <i>L</i>. <i>esculentum</i>, <i>Sphagneticola trilobata</i> and <i>S</i>.<i> calendulacea</i>, and 15%, 25%, 50% and 75% Hoagland solution were simulated different nutrient availabilities in greenhouse control experiments, in order to investigate the allelopathic effects of the invasive plant <i>S</i>.<i> trilobata</i> and its native congener <i>S</i>.<i> calendulacea</i> on leaf chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and biomass of the native plant <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> under different nutrient availabilities. The results were as follows:(1)The chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and biomass of <i>L</i>. <i>esculentum</i> at 75% Hoagland solution were significantly higher than those of the other three nutrient availabilities.(2)As the nutrient availabilities decreased, PS Ⅱ maximum photochemical efficiency(<i>F<sub>v</sub></i>/<i>F<sub>m</sub></i>), effective PS Ⅱ quantum yield [<i>Y</i>(Ⅱ)], photochemical quenching coefficient(<i>q<sub>p</sub></i>)of <i>L</i>.<i> esculentum</i> leaves and the total biomass of <i>L</i>.<i> esculentum</i> plants were remarkably reduced, while non-photochemical quenching coefficient(<i>NPQ</i>)and the biomass allocation to roots were increased.(3)Under 25% Hoagland solution, <i>F<sub>v</sub></i>/<i>F<sub>m</sub></i>, <i>Y</i>(Ⅱ), <i>q<sub>p</sub></i> and total biomass of <i>L</i>.<i> esculentum</i> planted with <i>Sphagneticola trilobata</i> were remarkably lower than those of <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> planted with <i>Sphagneticola calendulacea</i>, <i>NPQ </i>and the biomass allocation to roots were remarkably higher than those of <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> planted with <i>Sphagneticola calendulacea</i>. The above results demonstrate that <i>S</i>.<i> trilobata</i> and <i>S</i>.<i> calendulacea</i> may inhibit the growth of <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> through the secretion of allelochemicals in roots, and the allelopathic effects of <i>Sphagneticola trilobata</i> is stronger than <i>S</i>.<i> calendulacea</i>. Therefore, increasing nutrient availabilities in cultivation substrate can dramatically reduce the allelopathic effects of <i>S</i>.<i> trilobata</i> and <i>S</i>.<i> calendulacea</i> on <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i>.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[In order to screen suitable varieties for industrial production in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and to provide a better guidance for the introduction and cultivation of potted chrysanthemum, a quality evaluation system was established based on analytic hierarchy process(AHP)via 22 factors from ornamental value and adaptability, with 30 potted chrysanthemum cultivars introduced from Netherlands as materials. The results were as follows:(1)The flower color, flower diameter, crown width and florescence are the four key factors affecting the ornamental value of potted chrysanthemum.(2)Based on the comprehensively evaluation system, the 30 potted chrysanthemum cultivars were classified into four grades, namely excellent, good, general and poor, of which amounted for 16.67%, 26.67%, 43.33% and 13.33%, respectively. Five excellent cultivars including ‘Maurico Purple'‘Mario'‘Kaka Pink'‘Fabiano' and ‘Castrilho' were screened. These cultivars generally had bright colors, large flower diameter, long flowering period and strong drought resistance. They could be used for large-scale production in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. At the same time, eight good varieties such as ‘Derlei Dark'‘Violento'‘Givanildo Pink'‘Mundo Coral'‘Countinho Red'‘Didi'‘Eder' and ‘Mundo' were screened out. These varieties have good characteristics and can be introduced and popularized as supplementary varieties for small-scale production. The AHP method can be used to effectively evaluate and classify the potted chrysanthemum, and to select effectively the perfect ornamental value and well-adapted resources for landscape application.]]></description>
