The concentration, accumulation, spatial distribution and bioloigcal cycling of 7 microelements (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn,Pb, Ni and Cd) as well as their changes with growth of stands in Pinus massoniana plantation of 4 different age classes were studied. The results showed that concentration of Fe was the highest among 7 microelements, followed by Mn and that of Cd was the lowest in the soil. Irespetive of age classes, microelements concentration decreased with increasing of the soil depth. Microelements of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Pb and Ni had a higher rate of decomposition than element of Cd in the litter floor. The order of microelements concentration in different organs of Masson Pine was as follow: root>Needle>branch>bark>stem. Regardless of organs, concentrations of 7 microelements was in the order of Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu>Pb>Ni>Cd, and concentrations of Pb and Cd in root were higher than those in other organs. Microelements concentration varied remarkedly with the stands growth, especially for Fe element. The total storage of microelements in the plantations ranged from 8.818 kg·hm-2 to 103 825 kg·hm-2 and increased with the biomass accumulation in the process of the stands growth. The storage in bark and stem was the highest and accounted for 40% to 46%. The annual absorption of microelements in 4 age classes plantations were 3. 846, 12.558, 18.753 and 13.234 kg·hm-2, respectively. The annual returns equaled to 2.733, 9.866, 14. 866 and 9.935 kg·hm-2, respectively. The annual retention were 1.113, 2.692, 3.887 and 3.299 kg·hm-2, respectively. The microelement utilization coefficient, cycling coefficient and recycling period were estimated to be 0.127~0 436, 0.711~0 793 and 3.226~10.450 In early stage stands, microelement use efficiency in Masson Pine plantation was lower but recycling rate was higher and turnover period was shorter. Mature stands had a lower microelement recycling rate and a longer turnover period, so the trees extract more microelement from soil. Hence measures should be taken to faciltate the successional process to reach a stable zonal community.

Since the micro_meteorological characteristics including net solar radiation, soil temperature, soil moisture, precipitation, and wind speed are response factors of desertification, so our study was focused on two communities of desertification stage: Artemisia ordosica and cynanchum komarocii. Net solar radiation, soil moisture and wind speed were changed remarkably in the two communities because of the community component, structure, and cover degree. Net radiation (R n) of Artemisia ordosica community was higher than that of Cynanchum komarocii community and a difference of soil moisture was also in existence. The depth of soil moisture that can be affected by the rain depends on the depth of precipitation: When the monthly precipitation was lower than 45?mm, Only the upper 40?cm soil moisture runs up where there most of the root system was distributed.Artemisia ordosica community has more stable soil temperature than Cynanchum komarocii community as well as more efficiency in weakening wind speed.

Rubber particles were isolated from Eucommia ulmoides by repeated centrifuging and washing. The results of SDS-PAGE analysis showed that more than 10 proteins associated with E. ulmoides rubber particles, among which 56 ku and 30 ku proteins were more in abundance, we named them EuRPP56 and EuRPP30. The expression of rubber particle proteins was not the same in male and female. In female EuRPP30 was more abundant than EuRPP56 , while in male, EuRPP56 was more abundant than EuRPP30. EuRPP30 was prepared and purified. We raised the antibody against EuRPP30. Immunofluorecent experiments showed that the gutta_containing cells could be stained. These works laid the foundation for studying the function of the rubber particle binding proteins as well as probing into the mechanism of E. ulmoides rubber biosynthesis.

The distributions of K、Na、Ca、Mg and Cl in different organs of Kandelia candel, Aegiceras corniculatum and Avicennia marina from Jiulongjiang estuary of Fujian, Bruguiera sexangula from Dongzhai harbor of Hainan and Rhizophora stylosa from Yingluo bay of Guangxi were studied. A comparison was made between these five mangroves and terrestrial tree: Castanopsis eyrei from Wuyi mountains of Fujian. The results indicated: (1)A efficient element redistribution mechanism existed in the 5 mangroves. There were larger differences in element contents between different organs of mangroves, while sodium distributed equally in the different organs of C. eyrei. (2)The osmoregulation of 5 mangroves was mainly fulfilled by salt accumulation.(3)Salt exclusion by roots was the most important salt tolerant mechanism of all mangroves. Keeping lower salt contents in above ground organs was the common feature of all mangroves. (4)Except the efficiency in salt exclusion by roots, no apparent deficiencies in element accumulation and distribution could be found between salt excluders (K. candel, B. sexangula and R. stylosa) and salt secreters (Avicennia marina and Aegiceras corniculatum).

Somatic embryogenesis was successfully done in Liriodendron hybrids with the immature zygotic embryos as explants. Some factors were tested about their effects on somatic embryogenesis in this research, such as genotype, developmental stage, culture condition, plant growth regulator and osmotic potential. The results showed that the embryogenic callus was successfully induced when the experimental materials were cultured on 1/2 medium supplemented with 2,4-D 2.0~3.0 mg·L-1. Sucrose could be used as osmoticant to improve osmotic potential of the medium and it was effective for somatic embryogenesis. The induction of somatic embryos was best when the embryonic callus was cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0~4.0 mg·L-1ZT. It was also proved that a proper amount of ABA could lessen the production of abnormal embryos. In addition, the genotype , developmental stage of immature embryos and light condition were important to somatic embryogenesis.

The seasonal dynamics of vertical distribution of the dominant guilds and their relation in the arthropod community in different intercropped and managed jujube yard ecosystems in Taigu were studied. The results showed that there were some laws of vertical distribution of the dominant guilds in the arthropod community in the jujube yard ecosystems. There was no obvious influence of the dominant guilds on vertical distribution of the arthropod community whether insecticide was used or not or there were weeds or not. In the different ecosystems, the proportions of guilds of the arthropod community were different seasonally and spatially, and there was some relation at the same nutrient level. The relation revealed that the neutral insects played an important role in the food web of the arthropod community. For this reason, the protection and use of natural enemies and neutral insects were equally important in the control of insect pests.

Normal experiment methods and electron microscope scanning technique were used to compare the differences of the seed morphological characteristics and microstructure of the seed coats between Pinus sibirica and P. koraiensis. The purpose of this study is to clarify the dormancy and germination characteristics and mechanism of the seeds of P. sibirica.The results showed that the thousand-grain weight of the measured seeds of P. sibirica was only 39.9% and 48.5% of that of P. koraiensis.The weight of outer seed coats of P. sibirica was 54.04% and 52.6% of their whole seed weight, which was lighter than that of P. koraiensis, while the weight of the seed coat of P. koraiensis was of 61.7% of their whole seed weight. Five layers were seen at the cross section of the hard seed coat of P. koraiensis under scanning electron microscope: external seed epidermis layer (external seed coat), epidermis layer, dense lithocyte layer, palisade layer and inner epidermis. There were four layers in the seed coat of P. sibirica: the external epidermis layer, epidermis layer, palisade layer, and inner epidermis. Thickness of outer seed coat of P. sibirica and P. koraiensis was 400 μm and 1 200~1 300 μm respectively. All these characteristics showed a big hindrance and the permeability barrier in the seed coat of P. sibirica, but not stronger than that of P. koraiensis.

Contents of carbohydrates and endogenous hormones from dormancy to sprouting of Toona sinensis buds were measured. Dynamic changes of GA1/3, iPA and ABA were detected. GA1/3 and iPA decreased when the dormancy began, and then increased to the highest value before bud sprouting. The lowest value of GA1/3, 358. 7 ng·g-1 FW, was observed 21 days after leaf falling, whereas ABA was the highest, 201.5 ng.g-1 FW. Thereafter, ABA decreased and GA1/3 increased with the advent of bud sprouting. Ratios of GA/iPA and iPA/ABA decreased first and then increased from dormancy to sprouting with minor change range compared with GA1/3 , iPA and ABA. This demonstrated that dormancy break was closely related to hormone change, concurrent with starch degradation and increase in soluble sugars.

Water stress can cause all kinds of physiological and biochemical responses on forest tree, which are indicated by changes of many physiological and biochemical indexes. Under the different drought extent of soil, the seedlings of Robinia pseudoacacia clones were tested. Testing indexes included water content, the ratio of bound water content and free water content (Va/Vs), free proline, soluble sugar, soluble protein ect. The results showed that water content decreased with the increase of soil drought, the rest indexes increased in different extent. The range of variance differed among clones. It was difficult to evaluate exactly the drought resistance of different clones depending on only physiological and biochemical index.
