Elatostema coriaceifolium W.T.Wang is discovered and described for the first time. The corrected description of the staminate capitulum of E.prunifolium W.T.Wang,and the corrected diagnosis of E.medogense W.T.Wang var.oblongum W.T.Wang are given. The taxonomic revisions of E.nasutum Hook.f.and E.nanchuanense W.T.Wang are made,including two new varieties,E.nasutum var.ecorniculatum W.T.Wang and E.nanchuancise var.scleroceras W.T.Wang,and two new ranks,E.nasutum var.yui(W.T.Wang)W.T.Wang and E.nanchuanense var.calciferum(W.T.Wang)W.T.Wang.One species belonging to sect.Weddellia(H.Schröter)W.T.Wang,E.apicicrassum W.T.Wang,and three species belonging to sect.Elatoatema,E.latitepalum W.T.Wang,E.pseudonasutum W.T.Wang and E.oxyodontum W.T.Wang,are described as new. E.medogense var.oblongum W.T.Wang and E.quiquecostatum W.T.Wang,relegated to synonymies several years ago,are restored here.]]> 2016/1/15 3:05:31 WANG Wen-Tsai 10true 2016/1/15 3:05:31 XU Lin-Qing(Hui Lam-Hing) 9true 2016/1/15 3:05:31 *, William J.Mitsch]]> ZHANG Li^*, William J.Mitsch 8true Eriolaena are difficult to distinguish from each other in gross morphology without flowering materials. Branch wood anatomy of four species of Eriolaena is studied in order to explore the possibility of separating species from each other in branch wood anatomy. Eriolaena has diffuse- to semi-ring-porous branch wood with mainly solitary vessels and short radial multiples of 2-3 cells. Intervessel and ray-vessel pits are small,alternate. Tyloses and helical thickenings are absent. Both uniseriate rays and 2- to 3-cell-wide multiseriate rays are common and most ray cells are square. Rays are heterocellular,body ray cells procumbent with usually one or rarely two row of upright marginal cells,or sometimes homocellular. Tile cells are absent. Sheath cells are poorly to moderately differentiated in the multiseriate ray cells. Axial parenchyma is abundant,both paratracheal and apotracheal,predominantly banded. Prismatic crystals are abundant in rays,fiber and parenchyma. The four species can be distinguished on the basis of anatomical features of branch wood.]]> 2016/1/15 3:05:31 TANG Ya, WANG Jing, ZHANG Li-Yun, GAO Hui 7true Neottopteris and Asplenium,Sinephropteris and Asplenium were also discussed.

Alpine meadow is dominated by Kobresia meadow,including K.humilis meadow,Potentilla fruticosa shrub meadow,Kobresia tibetica meadow,K.parva meadow and K.pygmaea meadow. The average aboveground biomass of the five meadows was 354.2,422.4,445.1,227.3 and 368.5 g/m²,respectively,while the belowground biomass of 0-40 or 0-50 cm soil depth was 3 389.6,3 548.3,11 922.7,4 439.3 and 5 604.8 g/m²,respectively. Their ratios of belowground and aboveground biomass were 10.55,10.15,27.82,14.82 and 15.21 respectively,which were much higher than that of the default value(2.8±95%)recommended by IPCC(2006). The belowground biomass or belowground net primary productivity was more sensitive to the climate change and heavy grazing than above-grassland biomass did. Drought and heavy grazing decreased the ratio of belowground to aboveground biomass,even its value was less than 2 under extreme degradation conditions. Natural restoration is possible for light or moderate degraded alpine meadow for 3-8 years. However,it should be re-constructed for heavy or extreme degraded alpine meadow due to soil quality decrease and poison plant species and weeds invasion.]]> 2016/1/15 3:05:31 1,4, XU Guang-Ping², DUAN Ji-Chuang^1,4, CHANG Xiao-Feng^1,4, ZHANG Zhen-Hua^1,4, WANG Shi-Ping^3*]]> Burenbayin^1,4, XU Guang-Ping², DUAN Ji-Chuang^1,4, CHANG Xiao-Feng^1,4, ZHANG Zhen-Hua^1,4, WANG Shi-Ping^3* 4true 2016/1/15 3:05:31 1, HU Guang¹, SHAO De-Yu², HU Ren-Yong³, XU Gao-Fu⁴, YU Ming-Jian^1*]]> TAN Shan-Shan¹, HU Guang¹, SHAO De-Yu², HU Ren-Yong³, XU Gao-Fu⁴, YU Ming-Jian^1* 3true 2016/1/15 3:05:31 1,2, FAN Hang-Qing^1,2*, HE Bin-Yuan^1,2]]> ZHOU Ru-Qiong^1,2, FAN Hang-Qing^1,2*, HE Bin-Yuan^1,2 2true Salvia is a rich resource of diterpenoids with structural diversity and widely biological activities.
