This study investigated the categories and concentrations of PAHs in the plants and soil of a Cinnamomum camphora stand at the suburb of Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, using GC instrument. The concentrations of PAHs in different organs of overstorey trees in the C. camphora stand could be ranked in the following order: bark (8 641 μg·kg-1) >fruit (7 520 μg·kg-1) >root (7 115 μg·kg -1) >branch (5 352 μg·kg-1) >leaf (4 481 μg·g-1) >stem (2 843 μg·g-1). In the whole C. camphora stand, the concentration of PAHs was 9 235 μg·kg-1 for litter, 5 995 μg·kg-1for overstorey trees, 3 631 μg·kg-1 for understorey herbal plants, 1 466 μg·kg-1 for soil and 245 μg·kg -1 for understorey shrubs plants. The PAHs concentration in the soil of the C. camphora stand decreased by over 50 in contrast to that in the soil of a bare land. At the same time, the PAHs concentration in the throughfall and surface runoff was lower than that in the precipitation due to absorption and degradation of the C. camphora stand. The results that C. camphora stand had the functions of absorption and degradation of PAHs could provide a scientific basis for urban forest construction and environmental protection.

A one-hm 2 Chinese Pine(Pinus tabulaeformis)plantation was investigated to understand community vertical structure and two 100 m-long transects within the plantation were examined to learn community horizontal structure, in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, Sichuan Province,southwestern China. The pine coverage was found to be inversely related to shrub coverage, understory coverage(sum coverage of shrub and herb layers)and understory species richness, similar to the relationship between shrub layer and herbaceous coverage. No significant relationship was found between species richness and coverage within both shrub and herbaceous layer. Shrub layer coverage declined, but herbaceous layer coverage increased with increasing the pine patch size. Species richness peaked at the pine patch diameter of 12~15 m. Within the forest gaps, species richness and herb coverage were larger near the edge of forest gaps than that of gap centers, while shrub coverage was larger in the gap centers. Considering that different plant species are supported by patches with different size, we suggest that the pine forest should be managed to a mosaic community that consists of many forest gaps and pine patches with different size.

Density, storage and spatial distribution of carbon in Phyllostachy pubescens forest were studied by means of sample plot. Carbon density of different bamboo organ ranged from 0.468 3 to 0.5210 g·g-1, which was in order as follow: root>trunk>underground trunk>branch>underground stem>leaf. The organ distribution of carbon storage was 50.97for trunk,19.79 for root and 4.87for leaf. The total carbon storage in bamboo ecosystem was 106.362 t·hm-2, of which the above-ground green vegetation stored 34.231t·hm-2,accounted for 32.18 ,and the forest floor and soil(0~60 cm horizon) stored 72.131 t·hm-2,account for 67.82. Annual carbon fixation of tree story in bamboo forest was 5.097 t·hm-2a-1, which was 1.46 times of Chinese Fir at the fast growing stage, and 1.33 times of tropical mountain rain forest. Compared with traditional practice, after 10-year intensive management, total carbon storage in the bamboo ecosystem declined 8.133 t·hm-2, however, the net annual carbon fixation of tree story appeared an increase of 0.589 t·hm-2a-1.

The contents of the flavonoids and endogenous hormones of leaves in Ginkgo biloba phyllome branches were determined during all stages. The results indicated that the abscisic acid (ABA) content was low in the early stage, and got its lower peak in the early July, and rose quickly from the middle of Aug., and reached its highest value in the early Nov., which was consistent with the flavonoids content peak. Typical two-peak curve belonged to the change of ethylene (ETH) concentration, one rested in the early July, the other with a higher value in the late Sep. Cytokinin (CTKs) content was high in the early stage and fluctuated several times with different ranges in the middle-late stage. There was a significant relationship between CTKs and zeatin ribosides(Zrs). Gibberellin (GA) content was high in the early stage, and then went down gradually to reach its lowest value in the middle July, and lower value in the late Sep. apiece. 3-indole acetic acid (IAA) content fluctuated with a large scope, and showed three peaks during the growth and development of the leaves. Of these peaks, the first peak was the highest. It was very helpful for the improvement of the flavonoids synthesis to have higher ETH, ABA, and CTKs/IAA, and lower GA. When IAA/ABA, IAA/ETH, CTKs/ABA, CTKs/ETH, GA/ABA, GA/ETH, IAA/ABA, IAA/ETH, GA/ABA, GA/ETH values were the lowest, the peaks of flavonoids formation could be observed accordingly. The relationship between flavonoids and endogenous hormones in G. biloba leaf was discussed in this paper.

Gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence in Ficus microcarpa and Areca triandra in greenhouse before and after shading in summer were explored. Data revealed that A. triandra was sensitive to higher temperature and strong irradiance, however F. microcarpa was contrary. Maximal PSⅡ photochemical efficiency was down-regulated distinctly in A. triandra at noon under higher irradiance and temperature before shading, whereas, only slight down-regulation occurred in F. microcarpa. After shading, the down regulation was alleviated. Unfortunately, daily average photosynthetic rate in A.triandra and F. microcarpa decreased to some extent after shading; the former reduced smaller than the latter. Thus, it can be deduced that shading in summer could reduce the down-regulation of the maximum PSⅡ photochemical efficiency, but shading also resulted in the decrease of daily average photosynthetic rate, especially to light-preferring plants.

One-year-old seedlings of Taxodium distichum were grown in a pot under greenhouse conditions with varying soil water contents (W1, flooding; W2, 75 of field water capacity; W3, 25 of field water capacity), and there were four salt (NaCl) contents (0, 0.15, 0.3 and 0.45 of dry weight of soil)under every water content to study the effects of soil water and salt contents on growth and uptake of nutrients of T.distichum. The time of treatment was 130 days. The results showed that there were significant effects of soil water and salt contents on growth and uptake of nutrients of T.distichum. The relative height growth, relative ground diameter growth and biomass increment decreased with increase of soil salt content and decrease of soil water content. The total N, P and Na content in root, stem and leaf and the total Ca and Fe content in leaf increased with increase of soil salt content under the soil condition of flooding, while the total Fe, Ca and Mg content in stem and root had little significant difference. The total N, Na, Ca and Fe content in root, stem and leaf and the total P, K and Mg content in stem and leaf increased in a different degree with increase of soil salt content under the soil condition of W2, while the total P, K and Mg content in stem decreased under higher soil salt content. The total N, P and K content in leaf, the total Ca and Mg content in stem and leaf and the total Na content in root, stem and leaf increased in a different degree with increase of soil salt content under the soil condition of W3, while the total N, P and K content in stem and root and the total Fe content in root, stem and leaf decreased with increase of soil salt content.

The cuttings of Parthenocissus quinquefolia were treated with 0~300 mmol·L-1NaCl. The growth,and some physiological characteristics were investigated after 7 days of treatment. The results showed that plants grew and developed normally in 25 and 50 mmol·L-1 NaCl. When the concentration of NaCl equal to or more than 100 mmol·L-1, the growth of treated plants were inhibited, the rates of photosynthesis and transpiration,as well as stomatal conductance were markedly decreased; At the same time,membrane permeability and MDA content markedly increased. It was possible that the concentration of NaCl 100 mmol·L-1 was the key value of salt stress. Under the salt stress, the contents of soluble sugar,proline, K+, Ca2+, and Na+ increased, especially when the content of NaCl above 100 mmol·L-1, except proline, the difference of treated plants and control was significant. It was suggested that P. quinquefolia cuttings adjusted the stress of osmotic pressure by increasing the content of soluble sugar and K+, Ca2+, and Na+.

This study was carried out in a 15 years old progeny test of open pollinated families of Larix kaempferi in Jianshi County, Hubei Province. The genetic variation of families, age age correlations, and the age trends in genetic parameters for growth traits were analysed. Variance analysis revealed that DBH, height were significantly different from 5 to 15 years old among L. kaempferi families, and so were among individual trees within a family, which meant that there was big potential either for individual selection or family selection and they were the major sources for its genetic improvement. The variance components, heritabilities and coefficient of variances were dynamic during whole period of tree growth, and showed some common rules. The age age phenotypic and genetic correlations for DBH, height were very high, indicating that these relationships were mainly controlled by genetic factors. 6 year old was the most proper age for early selection of half sib families and 8 year old for individual selection within a family, and DBH was a better indicator than height due to its genetic stability.

The experiment was carried out in Youxi County, Fujian Province to study the effects of different fertilization, including organic manure, compound fertilizer, inorganic manure, and nonfertilizer, on nutrient components of bamboo shoot and nutrient content of N, P, K in leaves of bamboo during shoot growth stage for Dendrocalamopsis oldhami. The results indicated that the contents of N, P, K, and of coarse protein, coarse fibre, amino acids hydrolyzed from protein in bamboo shoot were increased obviously in 3 fertilizer treatments. The highest contents of N and protein was found in the inorganic manure treatment, and the highest contents of P, total amino acids, and total essential amino acids in bamboo shoot were in the treatment of compound fertilizer,and the highest contents of K, coarse fibre, semi essential amino acids were in the treatment of organic manure. However, the contents of reductive sugar, total soluble sugar, sucrose, and starch in the treatment of nonfertilizer were higher than other fertilization treatment. There was a certain difference in N,P,K content of bamboo leaves among 3 fertilization treatments during different emergence period of bamboo shoot. The contents of N, P, K in bamboo leaves in the fertilization treatments were higher than those in the nonfertilizer treatment at the initial stage of shoot emergence, the highest contents were bound in the treatment of inorganic manure. At the prosperity stage, the highest contents of N and P were in the treatment of organic manure. The highest content of K was in the treatment of inorganic manure. The highest content of N in bamboo leaves was bound in the organic manure treatment at the last stage of shoot emergence, and the highest contents of P and K were bound in the nonfertilier and inorganic manure treatment respectively at the same stage of shoot emergence.

In this paper the effects of postharvest high CO2(30%~80%) shock treatment on the storage quality and performance of Chinese Chestnut(Castanea mollissima Blume,cv. Dahongpao)at 0 ℃ were studied. The CO2 treatment duration and CO2 concentration were the main factors affect the quality. The ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) activity and accumulation of alcohol was increased remarkably by the high CO2 shock treatment. The longer the treatment time was and higher the CO2 concentration was, the higher the ADH activity and alcohol concentration were. High CO2 shock treatments affect the metabolism of starch and soluble sugar. 30%~50%CO2could retard the decomposition of starch, while 60%~80% CO2could increase the decomposition rate. The decay rate of chestnut treated with 40% CO2 for 20 days was only 1% at the end of 120-day cold storage, and which was the best treatment to keep the storage quality and performance of chestnut among the high CO2 shock treatments. The Chinese Chestnut was not hurt in all CO2concentrations treatments if the treatment duration was not more than 10 days, but it become off flavor if the Chestnuts were treated for more than 20 days and the index of off flavor Chinese Chestnut was positive to the CO2 concentration. The Chinese Chestnut could be reversibly hurt if CO2 concentration was over high(>50) and time of treatment was over-long(>20 days) and the flavor was not recovered even at the end of storage.

1-2-year-old aquacultural excised branches of Pinus massoniana were inoculated with disinfected Bursaphelenchus xylophilus(Bx), the bacterium Bacillus firmus(Bf) accompanying Bx and the mixture of Bx and Bf respectively in order to investigate the population dynamics of Bx and its accompanying bacterium in the branches. The results showed that by inoculation with the mixture of Bx and Bf, the branches were diseased, the pith of the branches browned, the process of pith browning was from inoculated branch to main branch, and from lower part to upper part in the main branch, while by inoculation with Bx or Bf singly, the branches were not diseased. By inoculation with the mixture of Bx and Bf than with Bx singly, the propagation number and moving speed of Bx in the branches were larger. The moving process of Bx in the branches were: inoculation branch→main branch→lateral branch→current shoot, and from lower part to upper part in the main branch. The process of pith browning showed no difference from the moving process of Bx in the branches, the distribution of Bx preceded the pith browning. At early stage after inoculation with the mixture of Bx and Bf than with Bx or Bf singly, the number of pathogenic bacterium detected in the branches was larger. Thus the standpoint was proposed that both bacterium and pine wood nematode was necessary pathogenic factor of pine wood nematode disease, and pith browning in lower part of the main stem of the host could be used for early diagnosis of the disease.

Chitosan, a natural and renewable polymer without toxic and pollution to human beings and environment and the deacetylated derivative of chitin that mainly exist in the crusts of crabs and shrimps, has many good characteristics and used into many fields such as agriculture, medicine, chemistry, etc.Chitosan metal complex (CMC), one new potential wood preservative, which produce from the chemical reaction between chitosan and some metal salts such as copper or zinc salts are shown to be effective but low-toxicity preservatives for wood. This paper reported the decay resistance of Pinus massoniana and Populus tomentosa treated with chitosan copper/zinc complex (CCC and CZC)against the brown and white rot fungi. The results showed that the decay resistance of CZC against brown rot fungi (Poria placenta) treated to P. massoniana wood were equivalent with CCA, and remarkably better than that of only treated by relevant metal salts and chitosan, but CCC had little effectiveness against brown rot fungus. The threshold retention of zinc ion in CZC treating solution was 0.780 kg·m-3 (mass loss 1.18); also decay resistance of CCC against white rot fungi (Coriolous versicolor) was equivalent with CCA, and remarkably better than that of only treated by relevant metal salts and chitosan, while the CZC against white rot fungi was not good. The threshold retention of copper ion in CCC treating solution was 0.824 kg·m-3 (mass loss 2.45).

Penetration of aqueous polymer isocyanate (API) adhesive into Larch、 Birch and Oak with micrograph method was studied in this paper. The results showed that there was no difference in penetration between tangential direction and radial direction for each wood. In the tangential glued specimens, API adhesive penetrating into ray tissues was not observed even for Oak wood. That is to say, the ray tissues played no role in conducting liquid API adhesive into the three woods. Reasons for this phenomenon were analyzed also.

Single tree’s sapwood scattering style and diameter classes’diurnal water consumption rhythm were studied in a 48 years old Quercus variabilis stand at the east hill slope, located in the Forest Research Station of Beijing Forestry University in the water conservation area in Beijing (39°54′N, 116°28′E). Results showed that relation between trees sapwood area and diameter at breast height (DBH) was significant. Single-tree’s daily water consumption ascended as DBH and sapwood area increased, and related significantly. Daily water consumption of different diameter class in September ascended steeply from the early morning and got the peak around 11:00 pm, and then descended till 18:00 when it got the valley slowly. Three-dimension model of daily-accumulated water consumption was acquired by scaling-up method from the typical Richards model and characteristic parameters of daily stand water consumption course were calculated from modulated Richards equation derivative: Wditj=(-7.147+1.174di)[1-(-3025.937+d2.175i)e-0.011tj]1/(1-d0.242i(R=0.9858).

We reported our preliminary study on mapping of the expressed sequence tag (EST) using single-stranded DNA conformation polymorphism (SSCP) on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product. Five ESTs primer pairs, developed from nuclear genes including CAD(cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrgenase), CHS(chalcone synthase), NIR(nitrite reductase), ARA554 (cDNA expressed in differentiating xylem in Pinus taedae) and GS(glutamine synthetase), were selected to optimize the experimental protocol and generate mapping markers in the megagemtophytes from a single tree of Pinus massoniana. Our ultimate goal was to use SSCP approach to construct a transcriptional map for comparative mapping studies in P. massoniana. The efficiency to construct a transcriptional map in P. massoniana based on the published EST primer pairs derived from other pine species critically depended on the successful amplification of EST fragments and the ratio of the heterozygous loci revealed in P.massoniana. In this study, 3 (60%) out of 5 tested EST primer pairs were succeeded in amplification, however, only 1(20%) gene was heterozygous in the tested tree. The ratio of heterozygous loci detected in this study was similar to that revealed by anonymous marker in P.taeda. Therefore, a low efficiency would be expected if the map would be constructed using single pedigree. The segregation ratio of loci revealed by primer pairs would be higher if multiple pedigrees would be used. We proposed that consensus mapping approach based on multiple-pedigree should be used for EST mapping and therefore to increase the efficiency of EST mapping.

Ostryopsis davidiana is a special species in China, and is also advantagous shrub of Daqing Mountains weak ecological system; Cenococcum geophilum (Fr.) spread widly in the world and have strong adaptability. C.geophilum (Fr.) applied to experiments can be isolated from O.davidiana’s thin roots. It can be proved by seedling back-inoculation to O.davidiana that inoculated mycorrhizae infectious rate reaches to 67.2%, and that formed mycorrhiza is the same as wild mycorrhiza. It was found that the typical sclerotium organs in seedling back-inoculation substrate. The experiments prove that C.geophilum(Fr.) has no obvious affect on O.davidiana’s overground parts, however, it has apparent promotion to growth of ground iameter and roots. Inoculation disposal root/shoot ratio is 2.18 times more than comparative disposal one. This may be the reason that O.davidiana can grow normally while other plants on Daqing Mountain become degraded and extinct.

Lasiognatha cellifera was one of the main defoliators for the Aegiceras corniculatum which was main tree of mangrove, and identified as new record of species in China L. cellifera had 7 generations per year in Zhangzhou area, Fujian Province and overwintered as pupa in the rolled leaf. Adult moth emerged in last-May, mating and laying egg on back of leaf soon. Egg period lasted 5d, larvae period lasted 13~17d, pupa periods lasted about 6d but overwinter-pupa lasted about 150d, adult moth life-span was 4~5d. The periods were related to the diversification of temperature, and the periods decreased with the increase of temperature. A. corniculatum in the front of seashore were harmed seriously for the reason that they growed weakly and L. cellifera was not adept in flying. Protecting natural enemies such as bird, parasitism etc., alluring adult moth, spraying Dimilin Ⅲ in 2 000 concentration when it occurred seriously will control L. cellifera effectively.
