The influence of canopy on the rainfall size distribution and on the raindrop kinetic energy was researched quantitatively and on the basis of effect mechanism for the tree species of Mao-bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens),Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata),Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia).Such research is the basis for further researches on the benefits of forest in terms of hydrology and soil protection.The study showed,that the raindrop size (D,raindrop diameter,mm) distribution is basically not influenced by the type and intensity of rainfall in open field,i.e.it is fairly stable.When the raindrop size distribution of canopy rainfall is expressed with the equation of F=1-exp(-(10D/α)n),the value of parameter α is 2.7718、2.5939、2.5112 and parameter n is 1.7593、1.9175、2.6126 for Mao-bamboo,Chinese fir,Black locust respectively.The raindrop kinetic energy per unit canopy rainfall is also basically not influenced by the type and intensity of rainfall outside of forest.When the falling height of raindrop (H,m) is big enough so that all raindrops can fall with their terminal velocity,the potential kinetic energy of raindrop per unit canopy rainfall is 24.163J·m-2mm-1,23.214J·m-2mm-1,23.713J·m-2mm-1for Mao-bamboo,Chinese fir,Black locust respectively.The difference among the 3 tree species is small.In this study the models to calculate the raindrop kinetic energy per unit canopy rainfall according to the falling height were established,they are ec=24.129[1-exp(0.0023H2-0.3259H)],ec=23.214[1-exp(0.0025H2-0.3409H)],ec=23.713[1-exp(0.0015H2-0.3467H)] for Mao-bamboo,Chinese fir,Black locust respectively.The raindrop kinetic energy per unit canopy rainfall decreases with falling height markedly in the range of 0~5m;relative markedly in the range of 5~10m,and no more obviously in the range of above 10m.The relations between raindrop kinetic energy per unit rainfall in open field and the rainfall intensity for different rainfall types were researched.The method to evaluate the influence of forest canopy on the rainfall kinetic energy and the possible approach to do such evaluation in a regional scale were also discussed.

Using ultrathin section and transmission electron microscopy,the developmental process of oil and mucilage cells in Cinnamomum longepaniculatum was observed.According to the development of three wall layers,the process can be divided into 4 stages.In stage 1,the cell wall is consist only of primary (the out) cellulose layer.This stage can also be divided into two periods:one of which is oil cell initial and another is vacuolizing oil cell.During this stage,there are some small electron translucent vesicles and quite different size dark osmiophilic drops in different shaped plastids.Similarly,there also exist dark and gray osmiophilic materials in ground cytoplasm,and their coalescence with vacuoles was observed too.In stage 2,suberized layer is present,and the lamellated suberin layer accumulates inside the primary cellulose layer.In stage 3,the inner cellulose wall layer is formed.Thicker and looser inner cellulose wall layer is piled up gradually inside the suberin layer.In this stage,because of the accumulation of a great quantity of osmiophilic material,the big vacuole becomes into an oil sac filled with osmiophilic lipophilic substances.In stage 4,oil cell matures and the cytoplasm disintegrates.After oil cell maturity,the ground cytoplasm starts to disintegrate,and becomes more electron opaque or exhibits a disordered state.Oil sac is enveloped by plasmalemma and attached to the cupule,which is formed by the protuberance of inner cellulose wall layer into the lumen.Mucilage cells come from parts of oil cells.There are two developmental patterns.One is that mucilage cell comes from oil cell whose inner cellulose layer has already formed.In the ground cytoplasm of such an oil cell,some multimembrane structures whose membrane arranged like concentric circles or like a spiral come out gradually and fill up the whole lumen.Finally,the multimembrane structures disintegrate and become into filiform or granular mucilage.Another pattern is that mucilage cell comes from fully matured oil cell,whose cytoplasm has already disintegrated.In such an oil sac,osmiophilic oil shows an inhomogeneous state.Many local disintegrative sites take place in the different electronic density oil,and these sites expand gradually.Finally,oil disintegrated completely into filiform or granular mucilage.This studies on the developmental ultrastructure of oil and mucilage cells verified that mucilage cell comes from oil cell.

Based on the investigation data from the sample plots of Eucalyptus spp.,Cunninghamia lanceolata, Pinus massoniana, Larix spp. and Pinus sylvestris var. Mongolica etc, and combining with other results of research projects on plantation, main natural factors and social factors which effect the productivity of Chinese plantation were studied systematically. The results showed: (1) The plantation productivity of the collective owned stand in the south of China was only 44.6% of that of state owned plantation, and whice contributed a 28% reduction in the plantation productivity in whole China. (2) The problem of unmatching species with the site was less serious than that people think of it usually in China, and it contributes only about 5% reduction in the productivity of Chinese forest plantation. (3) The low silviculture techniques were not the key facts that made the low productivity result of Chinese forest plantation. In fact, it was the product and incarnation of the economic development level of China in past decades as a result of interacting between natural factors, social factors and economic law.

The average percentage of tracheid volume is over 90% for softwoods species. Gas permeability of softwoods is in close relationship with the flow of gas through the tracheids. The thorough knowledge of the gas permeability of softwoods can be gained by the flow-resistor of tracheids for the flow of gas. Based on the structural model for tracheid, the expressions of flow-resistors of tracheid in three directions of grain are reduced with the theories of fluid mechanics. The gas permeability of tracheids also calculated from their flow-resistors in this paper. The calculation show that flow-resistor can depict the resistance distribution in tracheid and the differences in gas permeability in three directions of grain. The flow-resistor is a useful way of studying on the gas permeability of softwoods and it can reveal the flow nature of gas through wood at level of woody cells.

Fiber length within trees of plantation of Cinnamomum camphora increases from pith to bark in radial direction and it levels off after the 10~11 rings. Wood basic density decreases from pith to the 4th ring, then increases gradually and levels off after the 9th ring to bark in radial direction. The relationship model of fiber length (FB) of camphortree to tree age (x) is FB=626+73.5661x+0.4171x2-0.3639x3+0.0157x4-0.0002x5(r2=0.9545,1《x《40) and that of wood basic density (BD) is BD=0.4674306/[1+0.095907x3·EXP (-0.1306871x)] (r2=0.8059,1《x《40). Variation of fiber length within a given tree of Cinnamomum camphora is greater than that between trees. Variation of wood basic density and hot-extracts content are distinctly different from fiber length and their variation between trees are greater than those within a given tree of camphor. Juvenile wood range of camphor trees is within 1~7th or 1~9th rings near pith. The significant difference of fiber length between juvenile and mature wood within a given tree of camphor was found. No clear differences were found in wood basic density and hot-extracts content between juvenile and mature wood. Growth rate has no distinctly negative effect on fiber length, basic density and hot-extracts content of camphor tree. Variation of wood properties within camphor trees is very small and there is great variation of wood properties between the trees. Stem form of camphor trees is not straight and often lean in stand. Additionally there is more serious interlocked grain within trees. Controlling tree stem form and better its interlocked grain are main ways to improve wood properties of camphor trees through silviculture and tree genetic breeding.

The increased deposition of atmospheric nitrogen due to the air pollution has exceeded the demands of forest ecosystems in many areas.The chemical and biochemical reactions of nitrogen in soils have significant effects on the production and consumption of H+.The balance between the inputs and outputs of NH+4 and NO-3 determines the rate of acidification of the soil-soil solution system. Excessive nitrogen deposition will enhance the nitrification of NH+4 and the leaching of NO-3,which are the processes of strong acidification.An increase in the NO-3 concentration will increase the acidity and aluminium concentration in the soil solution.Basic cations will be leached out for accompanying the NO-3 leaching,resulting in the acceleration of soil acidification.Soil acidification is harmful to forest.

Phosphorus is an important element for larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.)root development.P-availability in rhizosphere is close with root exudates or excretions,e.g.,organic acid exudation,proton excretion.These materials from roots will affect pH value of rhizosphere.The aim of this paper were to study on pH changes at different P-stress conditions,and to test on the relation between available P and pH in rhizosphere.This work was carried out under pot experiment and field soil smaple analysis.Larch seedlings,1 and 2-year-old,were planted into sand pots.Nutrient solution with different P contents (0,0.035,0.071 and 0.142g·L-1 respectively) were supplied everyday.There were 2 replicates for 1-year-old seedlings,5 replicates for 2-year-old seedlings at ecch P-level treatment.After 1-year-old seedlings growing for 40 days and 2-year-old seedlings growing for 90 days,seedlings were taken out and used to visualize acidification by means of an agar plate technique.The result showed that pH of rhizosphere decreased from 6.40 to 4.73~4.84 in 1-year-old seedlings and to 5.30~5.50 in 2-year-old after 36h incubation.Average pH decreased were 1.56~1.67 for 1-year-old seedlings,and 0.90~1.10 for 2-year-old seedlings.There was not significant,for pH variations in rhizosphere,among four kind treatments.The pH change was not affected by P-level.The result of soil sample analysis,from 12-year-old,21-year-old,and 40-year-old pure larch stands respectively,indicated that the pH changes in rhizosphere is 0.11,0.04,and 0.09,respectively,lower than that in the non-rhizosphere,acidification is not significant,While the available P in the rhizosphere is 18.1%,86.5% and 23.4%,higher than that in the non-rhizosphere in three stands.The correlation between pH variations and available P was not remarkable at this analysis.This means that there was no relationship between the available P and pH change of rhizosphere in larch root system.

Thirty superior trees of Chinese fir from eight provinces were analyzed on genetic variation with RAPD method.A total of 284 bands,including 190 polymorphic ones,were produced with 26 primers, and mean genetic distance between the thirty superior trees was 0.4909,indicating a high level of genetic diversity among the tress tested.Two superior trees,coded as ZJZ 01 and JXS26,showed a high value in genetic similarity,which meant that only one of them could be essentially preserved in gene bank.The clustering analysis indicated that most of the superior trees could be clustered at a relatively high genetic distance and rich genetic variation could be expected in the superior tree population.This might be valuable for marker-assisted germplasm collection,parent grouping in hybridization and genetic diversity evaluation on breeding materials in improvement of Chinese fir.
