Abstract:
In order to understand the community ecology process of
Fargesia and explore the carring capacity of panda habitat,studies were made of on the biomass distribution pattern of above-ground organs of three kinds of
Fargesia and the regression models of each biomass component were also based on BD and culm height. The results showed that:(1) among the above-ground organs, the culm biomass was much more than the branch and leaf biomass. In the culm biomass allocation,
Fargesia angustissima >
Fargesia nitida >
Fargesia scabrida. In the branches biomass allocation,
Fargesia scabrida >
Fargesia angustissima >
Fargesia nitida. In the leaf biomass,
Fargesia scabrida >
Fargesia nitida >
Fargesia angustissima. (2) Various components were highly correlated with BD. The models of fresh culm weight(W
1) based on BD of the three
Fargesia species were W
1=1/7.761 + (-29.385e
-B)(
Fargesia angustissima), W
1=0.367B
2.614(
Fargesia nitida), W
1=1/4.804 + (-11.414e
-B)(
Fargesia scabrida). According to these models the community biomass of those three
Fargesia species could be accurately estimated,and thus the carrying capacity of panda habitat could also be estimated.
