PENG Jingyu, SONG Peng, LUO Jianxun, JIA Chen, ZHOU Yongli
2020, 41(4): 1-7. doi: 10.12172/202002120001
Abstract:
In this paper, the Cunninghamia unicanaliculata clones in China were used as research material. The DBH, tree height and crown width of 870 38-year-old clones from 30 clones were statistically analyzed, and the growth difference between different clones was analyzed from the allometric growth index. The mean values of DBH, tree height, and crown width of the 30 clones were 28.24 cm, 19.18 m, and 5.18 m, respectively, and the mean coefficient of variation was 0.29, 0.19, and 0.24, respectively. The analysis of the relationship between DBH-tree height and DBH-crown width allometric growth showed that the growth rate of DBH was significantly higher than that of tree height and crown width, indicating that the allometric growth trajectories of the DBH, tree height and crown width among the clones have changed significantly. The SMA slope between DBH-crown width and DBH-tree height was not the same among different clones, except DBH-tree height of clones 16 and 28, the differences was significant (P<0.05), and there was no consistent growth distribution rate among 30 clones. The difference in allometric growth relationships among clones lead to different growth distribution patterns, which further reflected the ecological plasticity of environment to the growth of various components and the existence of rich genetic variations in clone growth traits, threrfore providing the possibility for the early selection of superior clones of Cunninghamia unicanaliculata.

JIA Chen, ZHANG Shilin, YANG Jingyu, YAN Wuxian, GOU Xingzheng
2020, 41(4): 13-20. doi: 10.12172/202004070001
Abstract:
The interspecific ecological relationship between Cunninghamia lanceolata(Cl) and accompanied broad-leaved trees in Cl plantation was studied to explore the suitable broad-leaved trees accompanied with Cl, and to provide basis for the reconstruction and management of mixed forest of Cl and broad-leaved species from the perspective of ecological niche. A community survey of Chinese fir plantations in Qionglai, Hongya and Xuyong was carried out by the combination method of sample line and sample quadrat. The Levins and Shaanon niche breadth index, niche overlap index, Schoener niche similarity index were used to study and analyze the niche characteristics of the Cl and accompanied broad-leaved trees respectively, with different typical sampled plots as the resource sites. The results showed that: 18 species were selected from the 45 accompanied tree species according to the criterion that the important value of tree species was greater than 1. And the Levins and Shaanon niche breadth index reflected the same result. Nine tree species such as Litsea pungens, Mallotus japonicus, Ficus heteromorpha, Rhus chinensis, Sassafras tzumu, Cornus controversa, Betula luminifera, Camellia japonica and Eurya nitida Korthals were the most important accompanied broad-leaved species of Cl, and their important value was B(sw)>0.6 and B(L)>0.3). Their niche breadth and important values were both large and had strong ecological adaptability. The niche overlap between the main accompanied broad-leaved species of Cl was not high, and the niche overlap between Cl and the main accompanied broad-leaved trees was high (Lih>0.05). The Schoener niche similarity index between Cl and Litsea pungens, Mallotus japonicus, Ficus heteromorpha, Rhus chinensis, Sassafras tzumu was high (Cih>0.4), which indicated that Cl and these species had certain similarity in habitat requirements and shared the resources. Among the main accompanied broad-leaved tree species, deciduous tree species had larger niche breadth, niche overlap index and Schoener niche similarity than evergreen tree species, which indicated that deciduous broad-leaved tree should be more selected as the accompanied tree species for the cultivation of mixed Cl and broad-leaved forest.

XIONG Hexian, XU Jian
2020, 41(4): 21-27. doi: 10.12172/202002090001
Abstract:
Taking 48 plots of Pinus densata natural forest as research objects, the Shannon-Wiener Index and Simpson's diversity Index were used to quantify the overall and diameter size diversity of Pinus densata stands. Correlation analysis, general regression analysis and CCA ranking analysis were used to analyze the variation of diameter size diversity index of Pinus densata forest with stand factors, topographical factors, and understory vegetation factors. The results showed that: (1) when the dominant tree species had a larger composition, the diameter size diversity was consistent in the overall stand population and dominant tree species. (2) within the sample plot in the study area, the overall diameter size diversity was generally higher than that of Pinus densata. Other tree species had a certain influence on the diameter size diversity of Pinus densata. (3) the influence of environmental factors on the stand diameter size diversity was as follows: stand factor > topographical factor > understory vegetation factor. The average diameter at breast height of stand had the highest influence on the diameter size diversity of Pinus densata.. The maximum correlation coefficient could reach 0.756, and the fitting precision was the best, R2 could reach 0.6989. When CCA sort axis analysis was usd, the performance in the first axis was the best.

LI Changchun, YANG Jiajun
2020, 41(4): 28-37. doi: 10.12172/202003240003
Abstract:
There are many forest land resources in the middle and upper reaches of the Jialing River. It is of great significance to study the relationship between the structure, distribution and topographical factors of forest resources for the ecological protection of the Jialing River. Using the Landsat TM remote sensing image and DEM data of 1998 and 2018, this paper studied the influence of topographical factors on the spatial evolution of forest land resources by using the maximum likelihood classification method, DEM data grid surface analysis, reclassification processing and spatial superposition. The area of the forest land resources in the middle and upper reaches of the Jialing River increased significantly at a rate of 318.43 hm2·a−1. Among the forest land resources types, the average increase rate of forest land was the fastest, and the positive increase rate of forest land, suitable forest land and nursery land was different from that of sparse forest land, immature forest land and non-forest land. The structure of forest land resources was dorminated by Cupressus funebris and Eucalyptus grandis in water and soil conservation forest and water conservation forest, and orange was aided in economic forest. Forest land resources were mainly concentrated on gentle slope, low-altitude hills and downhill slope positions, with very few areas on without aspect distribution. The transfer rate of forest land resources was the fastest and the largest in downhill slope positions, low-altitude hills and southwest and southeast slopes. The distribution index of various forest types was quite different in different topographies. Generally, the slope and downhill position were the absolute dominant positions, while the flat slope and non-slope were the relative disadvantaged positions. Partial correlation analysis showed that slope, altitude, aspect and slope position had negative correlation, positive correlation, positive-negative alternation and negative correlation with the total amount of forest land resources respectively, but had obvious positive correlation with forest land, shrub land and nursery land. Based on the study of the spatial relationship between the total amount, structure and topographic factors of forest land resources, the distribution of forest land resources in the middle and upper reaches of the Jialing River could be better understood, providing reference basis for ecological restoration and ecological structure adjustment in the latter stage.

XU Yuan, LIU Shijie, YANG Yongzhi, LI Jiaman, CHEN Zhi
2020, 41(4): 51-57. doi: 10.12172/202003160004
Abstract:
The genetic basis of parental combining ability of hybridization between Alnus plants was studied to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of parents for interspecific hybridization of Alnus plants. Using two A. cremastogyne species, four A. formosana species, and three A. glutinosa species as hybrid parents, 18 hybrid combinations (3 × 6) were configured according to incomplete random mating design (NCⅡ) to calculate the genetic parameters and competitive advantages of 9 seed and fruit traits such as general combining ability (GCA), special combining ability (SCA). The results showed that there were significant genetic differences in seed and fruit traits of Alnus interspecific hybrid combination. All kinds of seed and fruit traits were mainly characterized by gene additive effect inheritance, and seed length, seed width, and 1000-grain weight were jointly controlled by gene additive effect and non-additive effect. The narrow heritability order of seed and fruit traits was FWH>FWH>FL>WTS>SL>SW>CL>SSF>SA. The GCA value between parents and SCA value between hybrid combinations were quite different, and there was no correlation between GCA and SCA. Among the tested 18 hybrid combinations, ACjt04, ACjg00, and AFhlt01, AGtc02 had higher GCA and SCA values in seed and fruit traits, and could be selected as excellent parents accessions. The competitive advantage of 9 seed and fruit traits of 18 hybrid combinations had positive correlation with GCA and SCA, and the correlation with SCA was higher than GCA. Comprehensive analysis showed that the competitive advantage of Alnus interspecific hybrids had close genetic correlation with GCA and SCA. The selection of high GCA parents and high SCA hybrid combinations was the key to the interspecific hybridization breeding of Alnus with strong dominance.

2020, 41(4): 58-63. doi: 10.12172/202004260003
Abstract:
In this experiment, the HPLC method was used to determine 6 main anthocyanidins, including delphinidin pigment, cyanidin pigment,  pelargonidi pigment,  peonidin pigment, malvidin pigment and petunidin pigment, from Rosa damascene tyigintipetala at 4 different flowering periods (i.e., unfold-petal stage, initial-flowering stage, full-flowering stage and flowering-wilting stage). The anthocyanidins in the sample were extracted by ultrasonication for 30 min with the extracting solvent (ethanol : water : hydrochloric acid = 2 : 1 : 1), and hydrolyzed for 1 h in a boiling water bath. The HPLC was carried out by using an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm), the flow phase was 1% formic acid aqueous solution and 1% formic acid acetonitrile solution, the flow rate was 0.8 mL·min−1, the detection wavelength was 530 nm, and the column temperature was 35 ℃. The results showed that cyanidin and pelargonidin pigments were detected at 4 flowering periods from Rosa damascene tyigintipetala. Variance analysis showed that the content difference between these two anthocyanidins at different flowering stages was extremely significant (P<0.01). The content of these two anthocyanidins decreased with the flowering process and petal fading, and the content of cyanidin pigment was absolutely dominant at different flowering stages. The established extraction and detection method of anthocyanidins from Rosa damascene tyigintipetala in this study is simple, rapid, stable and reproducible, which can be further used as an effective method for the determination of 6 anthocyanidins, such as delphinidin pigment, cyanidin pigment,  pelargonidi pigment,  peonidin pigment, malvidin pigment and petunidin pigment from Rosa damascene tyigintipetala and other plant-derived materials.

Abstract:
In order to study the effect of different substrates on the growth and development of Haloxylon ammodendron under different seedling growth conditions, using H. ammodendron as the studying materials, the effects of three different substrate configurations and two seedling growth conditions on the growth conditions of H. ammodendron were studied. The results showed that: (1) under the conditions of small arch shed nursery and open-air nursery, the best nursery substrates were both garden soil: river sand: decomposed sheep manure = 1:1:1. (2) under the same substrate, the seedling growth in the small arch shed nursery methods was better than that in open-air nursery. (3) when sowing, the seedling growth rate was the best when using the small arch shed nutrient bag nursery method and the nursery substrate was garden soil: river sand: decomposed sheep dung = 1:1:1. The average seedling height, average ground diameter, average main root length, first-class side root length, and seedling weight was 39.28 cm, 0.19 cm, 11.83 cm, 7.45 cm, and 6.87 g respectively.

YE Jinshui, ZHANG Xiaohui, FANG Weiqing, HUA Junfeng, TANG Changyi
2020, 41(4): 94-98. doi: 10.12172/202004100002
Abstract:
In order to explore the high grafting technique of blueberries, the 6-year-old sharp blueberries were used as rootstock and the branches of three blueberry varieties, O'neill, Brilliant and Peak, were used as scions. The effects of different seasons, different grafting weather and different scion positions on the survival rate of high grafting and the growth rate of scion new shoots were studied and analyzed. The results showed that there was no significant difference in grafting survival rate between spring and autumn, and there was extremely significantly difference in the growth rate of scion new shoots between spring, summer and autumn, and autumn was the worst season. Grafting in summer (June) with moisture preservation and shade could effectively improve the grafting survival rate. Grafting with pruned branches of early and medium varieties did not affect the annual fruit yield of blueberries in the current year, and the new shoots could obviously accelerate the growth and development process of grafted plants and caould blossom and bear fruit in the second year. The survival rate of grafting in different weather was significantly different, the best grafting was in sunny days, and there was no significant difference in the growth of scion's new shoot. The survival rate of grafting at different scion positions and the growth rate of new scion shoots were significantly different, with the middle scion being the best. Therefore, the blueberry high grafting method of selecting scions in the middle of branches to graft on sunny days in summer (late June) might be the best way.

Abstract:
In order to find out the wild medicinal plant resources and their distribution patterns and analyze the diversity characteristics in the south slope of Micang mountain, and provide scientific basis for the protection, development and utilization of medicinal plant resources in this region. Combined with the fourth national survey of traditional Chinese medicine resources, the diversity of wild medicinal plants in the south slope of Micang mountain was analyzed by the quadrat survey and field investigation method. The results showed that there were 290 species of wild medicinal plants belonging to 223 genera and 95 families in this region. The composition of families and genera was rich and diverse, and in the composition of families, 2—5 kinds of oligarchic families were the largest with 136 species in 44 families, accounting for 46.3% of the total families and 46.9% of the total species respectively. In the composition of genera, single species of monotypic genus were dominant with 178 genera, accounting for 79.8% of the total genera and 61.4% of the total species. The herbaceous medicinal plants in this region were slightly dominant, accounting for 53.1% of the total species. Detoxification and heat clearing were the main efficacy of wild medicinal plants in this region, accounting for 44.5% and 42.1% of the total species respectively. Most of the wild medicinal plants in this region was used as medicine with whole grass or whole plant, root and rhizomes, accounting for 33.6% and 22.3% of the total species of medicinal plants respectively. In summary, there were many kinds of wild medicinal plants in the southern slope of Micang mountain, with various types of medicinal plants, such as growth types, efficacy and medicinal parts, and so on..However, there was a lack of standardized protection and utilization plan. It was suggested to formulate the protection and utilization plan of wild medicine plants, laying a foundation for the protection and sustainable utilization of traditional Chinese medicine resources in the region.

Abstract:
Based on field vegetation survey and the classification principles and basis of Sichuan Vegetation, the natural vegetation in the reserve can be divided into 6 vegetation types, 11 flora classes and 25 flora. Among them, 14 community types were maily distributed in 1400—2000 m altitude, 3 community types in 2000—2500 m altitude, 3 community types in 2500—3000 m altitude, 9 community types in 3000—3500 m altitude, 4 community types in 3500—4000 m altitude, and 2 community types in 4000—4800 m altitude. The dominant species of trees, shrubs and herbaceous layers of different community types at different altitudes were counted by the important values. It was recommended to establish an effective protection system, strengthening propaganda and education, monitoring management and scientific research to protect the plant vegetation resources in Baishuihe National Nature Reserve.
