In many forest ecosystems,the production,death and decomposition of fine root appear to play a very important role in carbon and nutrient cycling,due to their rapid turnover rates.During 1999—2001,the production,distribution and turnover of fine roots were comparatively studied between two coniferous plantations(Fokienia hodginsii and Cunninghamia lanceolata) in Sanming,Fujian. Mean standing crop of total fine roots and living fine roots of F.hodginsii amounted to 389.7g·m-2 and 216.3 g·m -2 ,respectively,being 1.41 times and 1.46 times as high as that of Chinese Fir,roots less than 0.5 mm in diameter(242.2 g·m-2 )constituted 61.2% of total fine root standing crop,compared with 45.0% in Chinese Fir stand.The maximum differences of fine root density between two stands occurred in the soil layers of 0~10 cm,where root density of F.hodginsii(144.2 g·m-2 )was 2.1 times as much as that of Chinese Fir(70.2 g·m-2 ).Living fine root biomass peaked in March in F.hodginsii stand,and peaked in March and September in Chinese Fir stand.The weight loss rates of roots after the first year of decomposition and the decomposition rate coefficient of F.hodginsii were lower than those of Chinese Fir.Annual fine root net production and mortality of F.hodginsii were 320.2 and 326.5 g·m-2 a-1,respectively,being 1.27 times and 1.31 times as high as that of Chinese Fir,though a lower fine root turnover rate was found for F.hodginsii(1.48a-1 vs 1.69a-1 ).In F.hodginsii and Chinese Fir stands,fine roots each contributed to 19.84% and 19.21% of total NPP and equaled 48.74% and 51.00% of annual aboveground litterfall of tree layer,albeit they account for only 1.70% and 1.18% of total tree layer biomass,respectively.

The mixed plantation of poplar (Populus spp.) and Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is one of the typical mixed stands with nitrogen-fixing and nonnitrogen-fixing species. The interaction between two species in the mixed stand is harmonious and its productivity is high, so this kind of mixed plantations has become the very successful pattern on poor sandy sites in north of China. In this paper, fine-root decomposition of two species was studied in the mixed plantation of Canadian Poplar(P. canadansis)(27 a) and Black Locust (22 a) on sandy sites along the Chaobai River in Beijing. Mechanism of harmonious interaction between two species was found out in the view of the nutrient recycle of fine-roots. The result shows: (1) fine-root decomposition of Canadian poplar and black locust trees was different. The concentration of N, Ca and Mg was gradually increased and P, K was gradually decreased in poplar fine roots during the early period of decomposition. The concentration of N, P and K was gradually decreased in Black Locust fine roots during decomposition. The nutrient decomposition speed of mixed fine roots of two species during decomposition was between speeds of two pure samples. (2) the return amount of N, K and Mg in 1 a Black Locust fine roots was the biggest, mixed fine roots was the second and poplar fine roots was the smallest. (3) the increased N return amount of mixed fine roots could improve N nutrient condition of poplar trees. P return amount of poplar fine roots was more than Black Locust, which could improve the P nutrient condition of Black Locust trees. The interaction of mutual supplement of N and P nutrient recycle of fine roots between tree species was formed.

This paper gave the results at age 7 from a complete-diallel cross among 6 Pinus massoniana clones from different seed sources. It was found that variances due to general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) were significant for height, DBH, volume index, wood basic density and dry matter index. However, the dominant gene effect was predominant over the additive effect. Epistasis effect was varied with traits tested. Analysis of data revealed marked epistasis gene action for wood basic density. Inheritance pattern of growth and wood properties was found to be different from maize and Chinese Fir. The main reason for this seemed to be that the mating parents were from different seed sources and/or indirect selection on GCA of growth had been made for mating parents. There was usually selfing depression for growth traits. Selfing progeny from parents with smaller GCA seemed to reveal more significant depression. Heterosis between various cross combinations was greatly varied. As a whole, reciprocal crosses had similar heterosis. There were some but no obvious trend that the cross between parents with larger GCA could produce more heterosis in volume increment and dry matter accumulation. Eight superior cross combinations for pulp wood were screened based on dry matter index.

Two pairs of primers, designed from conserved regions of plant vacuolar and cell wall bound acid invertase genes respectively, were used to amplify 741bp (A) and 524 bp (B) fragments from Citrus unshiu genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The fragments were cloned into pUCm-T, and then sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of fragment A is 79%, 79%, 78% identical to genes from Daucus carota (X75353), Solanum tuberosum (X70368) and Lycopersicon esculentum (Z12025)respectively, and was suggested to encode a soluble acid invertase located in vacuole, while B is 78%, 78%, 77% identical to genes from Fragaria ananassa (AF000521), Arabidopsis thaliana (AP001307) and Pisum sativum (X85327) respectively, and was suggested to encode a insoluble acid invertase in cell wall. Lower homology among A, CUAI1, B and CSCWI suggested that A and B were two new members of acid invertase gene family in Citrus, respectively belong to putative CUAI2 and CUCWI. There was no interaction among these members (CUAI1, CUAI2, CUCWI or CSCWI) except for CUCWI and CSCWI in Southern blot analysis. The interaction between CUCWI and CSCWI could be eliminated by using CSCWI's partial sequence which was lower homologous to CUCWI as probe, and weakened by shortening hybridization time, increasing hybridization and washing temperature, washing membrane in lower concentration of SSC.

The mature embryo of Pinus ponderosa was used as explants to induce adventitious buds on GD、SH、MS and N6 medium supplemented with 0.5~4.0 mg·L-1 6-BA and 0~1.0 mg·L-1 NAA.The results showed that the basic medium played a determinative role in initiating the adventitious buds. GD was best, SH better, and MS and N6 worst. The optimal combination of the medium was GD with 0.5 mg·L-1 6-BA,on which 55% of explants was induced,average rate of propagation was six,the highest was ten. Addition of NAA would inhibit the formation of adventitious buds.A proper amount of active carbon promoted the formation and elongation of adventitious buds. The adventitious buds of P. ponderosa were used to induce adventitious roots on GD、SH、1/2 SH media supplemented with different concentration of NAA and IAA. The results showed that the basic medium played a determinative role in initiating the adventitious roots. Neither GD nor SH induced adventitious buds to form adventitious roots. Adventitious root was induced by 1/2 SH, on which 2.2% adventitious buds formed adventitious roots. The better combination of the medium was 1/2 SH with 0.5 mg·L-1 NAA, on which 3.3% adventitious buds formed adventitious roots. In this paper, the experimental result was reported that root was successfully induced from cultured embryo of P. ponderosa.

Heptacodium miconioides collected from Tiantai Mountain of Zhejiang Province was divided into 4 populations according to the size class, namely big tree population, middle tree population, arboret population and young tree population. The genetic diversity within populations and genetic differentiation among 4 populations with different size class (45 samples) were analyzed and compared using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique. The results showed that 64 repeated loci were detected by using 12 random primers. The highest percentage of polymorphic loci was detected in big tree population. The middle tree population took second place and the arboret population took the third place. The lowest percentage of polymorphic loci was detected in young tree population. The highest genetic diversity estimated by Shannon index was revealed in big tree population. The secondary was middle tree population and the third was arboret population. The lowest genetic diversity was revealed in young tree population. 45.59% of genetic diversity was attributed to the differentiation among populations while 54.41% resided within populations. It suggested that the genetic differentiation might exist within and among populations with different size class, but the genetic differentiation within populations was higher than that among populations. The gene diversity estimated by Nei's index was consistent with that estimated by Shannon index and the genetic differentiation within populations was higher than that among populations. The gene differentiation coefficient among populations was 0.393 9. The genetic similarity between big tree population and middle tree population was the highest while that between big tree population and young tree population was the lowest. The clustering analysis was performed using the software POPGENE32 and the results showed that 4 populations with different size class could be divided into 2 clusters, namely cluster 1(big tree population and middle tree population) and cluster 2 (arboret population and young tree population). Furthermore, the two clusters gathered.

Davidia involucrata which belongs to Nyssaceae section monotype genus is peculiar plant in China, being old origin and survivor of tropical flora of Tertiary Period, it is classified as the first-grade state protection plant. The genetic diversity and genetic variation within populations and inter-populations from 5D. involucrata natural populations by 13 primers have been studied based on RAPD analysis. The results showed that D. involucrata natural population had rich genetic diversity, but the difference was significant among the populations, and 26% of genetic variation existed among the populations, which was similar to endangered tree species of Liriodendron chinense and Cathaya argyrophylla in our country, but different from widely-distributed tree species. The result of the sampling method impacting on genetic diversity parameters showed that: effective number of alleles and genetic diversity took sample number influence relatively light, and genetic differentiation among the populations and gene flow took sample number influence relatively heavy. The study divided D. involucrata into 2 big provenance plots of southeast and northwest. The study on genetic diversity of D. involucrata will provide theory basis for developing studies on effective conservation and reasonable utilization of germ plasm resource from D. involucrata in the future.

This paper was to study the relationship among the postharvest opening progress, the vase life and the water balance of the cut flowers of Tree-Peony(Paeonia suffruticosa) cultivars. Five cultivars were investigated with the indexes of opening stages, the vase life and water transpiration, etc. The results showed that cultivars ‘Bai Hua Cong Xiao’, ‘Zhu Hong Jue Lun’ and ‘Xue Lian’ all exhibited fast opening pace and could be in full blooming with 5~6 days’ vase life. ‘Yu Mian Tao Hua’ and ‘Tian Xiang Zhan Lu' lasted 8 days' vase life, however, they did not show longer ornamental period than the prior 3 cultivars since their slower opening process. The changing trends of water balance differed among cultivars could be also grouped to 2 as mentioned above. The water balance values in ‘Bai Hua Cong Xiao’, ‘Zhu Hong Jue Lun' and ‘Xue Lian' began at high level and decreased dramatically in 2 days, then went up gradually during the late period of vase life, whereas it began at lower level and then go up and down in ‘Yu Mian Tao Hua' and ‘Tian Xiang Zhan Lu'. The direct relationship between the water balance value and the vase life of tree peony cut flower was not found, but three was the close relationship between the change trend of the water balance value and the opening process of Tree-Peony flowers.

To find out the effects of fertilization and fertilization time on the survival rate and tree growth of young Pinus massoniana, a study was carried out on the mountain red soil sites derived from granite at Fubo Experimental Farm of Experimental Center of Tropical Forestry of CAF, in Pingxiang city of Guangxi Autonomous Region from 1991 to 2002. The results showed that there was an evident influence on the survival rate of Pinus massoniana by fertilization Variance Analysis showed that there were extremely significant differences among the treatments. By means of Multiple Comparison, it was found that the survival rate of the young trees fertilized with NP, PK and NPK as basal fertilizers was significant lower than CK. Based on the 12 years' successively determined data, the growth curves showed that fertilization had long time effect on the growth of the young Pinus massoniana and the better treatments at the beginning would continue to maintain predominance in the end. Variance Analysis of the growth increment data observed for 11 years, showed that there were not significant differences among treatments except their stand volume. The effects of the different treatments on the growth of Pinus massoniana were different. The best fertilizer treatment was P2(P2O5 :100 kg·hm-2 ), in which the tree height, DBH and stand volume increased by 3.75%, 14.17% and 33.60% respectively than those of CK. The optimum time was P among all the time treatments, in which the tree height, DBH and stand volume increased by 3^98%, 27^57% and 45^76% respectively than those of CK. Furthermore, the stand volume of Pe treatment was significant higher than that of CK.

The chalcidoid wasp Chouioia cunea (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Eulophidae) is a predominant parasitoid in pupa of the important introduced defoliator Fall Webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) in China. For understanding the potential of sustainable management of the pest in biological control by mass rearing and releasing the parasitoid, its alternate hosts were investigated in forests. Through two-year investigations, the species of alternate hosts and their life history, as well as biology were figured out. And the parasitism rate, offspring number, and sex ratio of the parasitoid on those hosts were also surveyed. Results showed that there mainly were six other defoliator species (Lepidoptera) as its alternate hosts besides Fall Webworm, I.e. Clania variegeta (Psychidae), Stilpnotia salicis, Ivela ochropoda (Lymantriidae), Semiothisa cinerearia (Geometridae), Clostera anachoreta (Notodontidae), Acronycta increta (Noctuidae). The parasitoid C. cunea developed seven generations in a year compared with only two generations (occasionally three generations) of Fall Webworm. Besides the two (and/or three) pupal stages of Fall Webworm, the wasp could parasitize those alternate hosts in its other generations because the pupal stages of those hosts were existed and just filled the gaps between the pupal stages of Fall Webworm. Thus, it could keep higher population to control the Fall Webworm after it was released. Results of the investigation showed that the parasitoid distributed widely and the population were relatively stable. It was also indicated that certain population of C. anachoreta and A. increta in forest stands is important for the parasitoid to increasing the population. Furthermore, it could be concluded that the tree_species diversity was a main factor for the parasitoid to keep Fall Webworm under control sustainablly.

Recently more and more evidence confirmed that pine wilt disease were caused by both Pine Wood Nematode and its carrying bacteria. Dynamics of population of nematode, variety and the quantity of bacteria in non-inoculated branches along with the process of the disease were observed firstly through inoculated with Pine Wood Nematodes onto testing Black Pine trees. In non-inoculated branches, bacteria could be detected when few pine needles became yellow; while most needles changed into yellow or brown, nematode could be isolated and the quantity of bacterium was increased; in the end, when the testing tree was dying and needles were totally wilted, the populations of both nematode and bacteria were increased rapidly. According to the identification of the bacteria isolated from the testing trees, the numbers of the isolated bacteria species were small, only a few, at the first and the middle stages. As the disease was developing, bacteria increased not only in their quantity, but also in amount of species. However, the domination species remain the same, they are Pseudomonas fluroescens, Pseudomonas sp.Acinetobacter sp., Pantoea sp. and Sphimgomenas pancimobilis.

Using the Masson Pine as specimen, when the medium were super_heated steam and air respectively, the preheating characteristics of wood in wood drying under vacuum-floating pressure were discussed by the measurement of the internal temperature field and the variation of moisture during the stage of preheating. The relationship between drying medium condition and the rate of drying revealed that: Firstly, compared with the process of air-drying, the time needed to be preheated under vacuum-floating decreased dramatically, meanwhile, the magnitude of condensation on the surface was relatively larger. Secondly, the rate of wood drying under vacuum-floating increases coupled with the temperature of medium, the reduction of absolute pressure, and the raise of fluctuation rate of frequency. The sequence of factors' contribution to drying rate was listed as following: the temperature of medium (T)>the fluctuation rate of pressure (Hz<.sub>)>absolute pressure (P).

A reliable method of X-ray image of log with knot-hole processing based on the fractal discrete Brownian random field model and fractal parameter H was presented in the paper. It is known that the fractal Brownian random field is valid to describe the image of nature scene. In only tiny region of the picture, the surface of gray levels is self_similar in statistics. But for the edges, the point located in the boundaries between adjacent regions, this regular properly will be lost. The fractal parameters of these points will be out of range. In this case we can finger out the edges of knot-hole by calculating the fractal parameter H. The experimental results showed the method was very successful for X-ray image of log with knot_hole. It was significant to computer pattern recognition automatically.

Through analyzing formaldehyde release equation in desiccator, factors influencing formaldehyde release from wood products were discussed and checked. The relationship of the values was also compared determined by 10 L glass desiccator and 40 L acrylic desiccator method. The results showed that the formaldehyde release equation accurately represented the behavior of formaldehyde release in desiccator. The formaldehyde concentration was inverse ratio to the water volume and formaldehyde concentration gradually increased while the surface area of water increasing. For samples with same ratio of edge area to surface area, a good linear relationship was existed between the two desiccator methods, and the desiccator values determined by 40 L desiccator method was 3.5~3.9 times of that determined by 10 L desiccator method. But for samples with different ratio of edge area to surface area, there was no comparability between 10 L and 40 L desiccator values. The formaldehyde emission rate from the edge was much faster than the surface of the panel. For particleboard and MDF, the formaldehyde emission rate from the edge was about double of that from the surface of panel. For DMDF, more than 87% formaldehyde emitted from the edge of the panel. For plywood, about 40% formaldehyde emitted from the edge of the panel.

Bonding strength for larch(Larix gmelinii)on radial and tangential surfaces were studied in this paper. The results showed that there was significant difference in bonding strength between radial and tangential surfaces. Dry compressing shear strength of quarter-sawn board of larch was 1.41 times of flat-sawn board of larch in normal conditions, but quarter-sawn board of larch had smaller wet compressing shear strength than flat-sawn board for repeatedly boiling samples. The results of shear strength to the grain and shear strength ratio of larch showed that the difference between radial and tangential bonding strength specimens lied in wood structure of larch. That is to say, there was difference in wood strength between radial and tangential surfaces of larch, wood strength of radial surface of larch was bigger than tangential surfaces. The reasons for which quarter-sawn board of larch had smaller wet compressing shear strength than flat-sawn board of larch for repeatedly boiling samples were also analyzed.

Organic acids in forest litters play important role in forests and forest soils. Based on the fresh litter materials of Fraxinus mandshurica and Larix olgensis forest in northeast China, a capillary gas chromatography procedure was established to determine organic acids in forest litters. Organic acids in forest litter were lixiviated and derived into corresponding esters with 7∶100 (v:v) H2SO4∶CH3OH at 60℃, extracted in CHCl3 and analyzed by capillary gas chromatography (GC) system. It resulted that, the method reported in this paper to separate, identify and determine organic acids in forest litter by GC was reliable and easy to operate. The disposal of sample was convenient, and the esterification with CH3OH occurred while extracting organic acids with the same reagent, so volatilization loss of low-molecular-weight organic acids and oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids were avoided in course of condensation and esterification at high temperature when the conventional method to determine organic acids was used. Good selectivity was obtained, low-molecular-weight organic acids and high fatty acids could be determined simultaneously and accurately. Recovery of thirteen organic acids detected by adding standard samples ranged from 84.66% to 97.45% with relative standard deviation from 1.53% to 8.54%, and lowest detection limit of different organic acids was in range of 0.39 to 6.46 ng. The method could be used to determine organic acids in forest litters with satisfactory results.

During the peak of the adult who oviposited going up to the bamboo, adopting the 20% of the emulsifiable solution of fenvalerate 1000 time' solution, spraying again after 5 days, the control effect was higher than 90 percent. The highest rate of infecting the larva with insect's pathogenic nematode in lab was Steinernema carpocapsae Beijing, the corrected mortality was 51.35% after 10 days when it was treated. The control effect reached 42.56~66.08% if it was sprayed by different strains of nematodes in the dosage of 2×10 5·m-2 on the ground of forest. Beauveria bassiana had a poor infected effect on the larva, which is 32.43% of corrected mortality after 15 days. Spraying the power of B. bassiana on the ground before the larva going down could reduce the new bamboo's injured rate by 12.52% the next year, and reached 29.21% of control effect. Shaking the tips before the peak of the larva going down could reduce the hibernating population, the control effect reached 89.44%. The adult was caught by manual, comparing with the comparative stand, the injuring rate of the one-year-old bamboo declined by 43.74% and the control effect was 64.50%. Reclaiming the land deeply had a certain effect on Otidognathus rubriceps in winter, but it was better doing it after the larva going down ( in the middle of May ), the injuring rate of the one_year_old bamboo descented by 60.00%, and control effect was 87.84%.
