2018, 31(4): 1-8. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.001
Abstract:
Objective The community characteristics and population structure of Burretiodendron kydiifolium, an endemic plant species in the dry valley area of Yuanjiang, China, were analyzed to lay a theoretical basis for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development of endemic plant species. Method 5 sample plots and 4 sample lines were set in the distribution area of Burretiodendron kydiifolium. The amount of B. kydiifolium individuals and the associated species in the community including the scientific name, amount or coverage, diameter at breast height, habitat conditions and anthropogenic disturbance types were recorded. The importance value, life form of the community and the structure of size classes of B. kydiifolium were analyzed. Result B. kydiifolium distributed mainly in Pupiao, Yuanwalu, Baigoushen, Luyechong and Shidichong. The species distribution was sporadic and fragmented. The vegetation type of B. kydiifolium community was deciduous monsoon forest belonging to monsoon forest. 83 vascular plant species belonging to 69 genera, 39 families in the sample plots were recorded, of which the deciduous tree species were dominant with a proportion as high as 90.9%. The proportion of phanerophyte plants was the highest (60.24%) and followed by the chamaephyte plants (19.28%). The result of the analysis of 412 individuals indicated that the population structure of B. kydiifolium was stable, the percent of class Ⅵ (20 cm ≤ DBH) tree was the lowest (9.47%) and class Ⅴ (15 ≤ DBH < 20 cm) tree was 10.92%. There was no significant difference between other size classes. Because of some influencing factors such as anthropogenic disturbance and habitat conditions, the population structures of growing, declining and stable existed in different sample plots or sample lines. Conclusion The vegetation type is deciduous monsoon forest belonging to monsoon forest. The population structure of B. kydiifolium is stable overall, while the growing, declining and stable structures exist in different sites. The seedlings and sprouting are the main regeneration approaches. The amounts of seedling and the young tree of B. kydiifolium vary greatly among different sites. Droughty habitat and anthropogenic disturbance are the reasons leading to poor regeneration of B. kydiifolium population.

DONG Ling-bo, LIU Zhao-gang
2018, 31(4): 9-17. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.002
Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of parameter setting on the target solution quality of forest spatial planning via simulated annealing algorithm. Method The tested parameters included the number of initial solutions (N), the number of iterations per new temperature (nrep), initial temperature (T) and cooling rate (r). The planning target was formulated to make timber production maximum over ten 5-year-planning periods, which should subject to the even-flow of harvest volume and area restriction model. The simulation datasets included five hypothetical datasets, which encompassed 3 300-81 600 binary decision variables. Result The results showed that the coefficients of variation of objective function values for all the planning alternatives only varied from 0.18% to 14.95%, indicating the distinguished stability of simulated annealing algorithm. Parameters nrep and T can be estimated with the number of forests using polynomial (R2=0.85) and exponential (R2=0.66) functions respectively, however, the parameter r can be estimated with the reciprocal of the number of forests using polynomial function (R2=0.98). The values of parameter N was not related to the number of forests, but it should be somewhat above 500 times. Meanwhile, we also found that the number of units across a forest landscape not only affected the optimal values of each parameter, but also had significant effects on the probability of locating satisfactory solutions (PN) and resolution efficiency (RE) of simulated annealing algorithm, in which the PN increased linearly with the increase of number of units within a forest landscape (R2=0.98), but the RE presented a typical linear downtrend for the analytical datasets (R2=0.55). Conclusion It is concluded that the quality of solutions of simulated annealing algorithm is sensitive to the parameters used and the size of planning options. In order to ensure the stability and quality of planning outputs, forest managers should determine the appropriate values of parameters of simulated annealing algorithm carefully when applied it to make forest planning in practice.

2018, 31(4): 23-30. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.004
Abstract:
Objective To determine the relationship between soil enzyme activities and carbon inputs by experimentally altering the quantity of forest floor litter. Method In an age sequence of natural Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata forests (stand age approximately 40 years, 80 years, and>160 years) in the Baotianman Nature Reserve, He'nan Province, three treatments were applied, including doubling of litter (LA), litter removal (LR) and the control (CK). Measurements were made on soil physiochemical properties, microbial biomass, and activities of oxidative enzymes (phenol oxidase and peroxidase) and hydrolytic enzymes (β-glucosidase and β-1, 4-N-acetylglucosaminidase). Result The stand age affected only the β-1, 4-N-acetylglucosaminidase; its activity decreased with the increasing stand age. The litter treatments had no significant effect on oxidative enzymes, but the activity of β-glucosidase increased with the increasing litter inputs, ranking in the order of LA > CK > LR. The change pattern of microbial C/N ratio (characterization of microbial structure) were not consistent with that of specific enzyme activity (microbial function). Conclusion The changes in the quantity of carbon inputs can affect soil enzyme activities by modifying soil environmental factors and nutrient inputs, but the effects vary among enzymes. Forest stand age is also a factor affecting soil enzyme activities.

2018, 31(4): 31-37. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.005
Abstract:
Objective In the previous research, a monoclonal cell line RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 was established from Papilio demoleus cell line RIRI-PaDe-2 and it was found that the two cell lines could be infected by wild-type Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV). Especially, RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 was susceptible to AcMNPV and exhibited a higher production of AcMNPV polyhedral per infected cell averagely compared to the parent RIRI-PaDe-2 cells. The aim of this study is to further understand the characteristics of RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 in expressing exogenous genes. Method The Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system was used to establish recombinant baculovirus carrying β-galactosidase gene and secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) gene. The RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 was infected with recombinant virus. The expression levels of the two recombinant proteins were detected at 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours after infection and compared with RIRI-PaDe-2 cells. The methods of cells morphology analysis, growth analysis and chromosome analysis were used to obtain the biological characteristics of RIRI-PaDe-2-C6. Result RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 and RIRI-PaDe-2 could be infected by recombinant baculovirus. The expression of β-galactosidase (β-Gal) was significantly higher than that of RIRI-PaDe-2 (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in expression level of secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) was observed between RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 and RIRI-PaDe-2 (P>0.05). All cells were spindle-shaped in RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 which was more homogeneous than RIRI-PaDe-2. The cell population doubling time of RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 was 94.94 hours which was longer than those of RIRI-PaDe-2 (67.42 hous). The averages chromosome numbers of RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 was 52.26±30.48 which was significant different from that of RIRI-PaDe-2 (73.19±24.27). Conclusion The differences in expressing exogenous genes and biological characteristics are significant between clone cell line RIRI-PaDe-2-C6 and its parent cell line RIRI-PaDe-2.

2018, 31(4): 38-46. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.006
Abstract:
Objective To reveal the effect of avoiding light treatment on the expression of genes related to the synthesis of bitter and astringent substances in Dendrocalamus latiflorus shoot. Method Transcriptome sequencing was carried out on bamboo shoots with natural growth (CK) and soil covered conditions (EP) by using Illumina HiSeqTM 2500 platform, and the differential expression genes were analyzed. Result Transcriptome sequencing produced a total of 36.45 Gb raw data, and then was assembled into 53 388 Unigene by redundant processing. Comparing the obtained Unigene to Nr, Pfam, COG, Swissprot, GO and KEGG, the function annotation showed that a total of 31 462 Unigene were homologous to other species. In the comparative analysis of the Unigene expression in CK and EP experiment, 1 846 differential expression genes were screened out, among which 998 genes were up-regulated and 848 genes were down-regulated in EP experiment. The KEGG results showed that the differential expression genes were significantly enriched into 32 pathways, which included glycolysis, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis associated with the synthesis of bitter and astringent substances. Further studies showed that the expression of PFK, ENO, PPY-AT/HPP-AT, LAR enzyme genes involved in the synthesis of aromatic amino acids and tannins in D. latiflorus shoots decreased in EP treatment, and the results of qRT-PCR were generally consistent with the results of sequencing. Conclusion Avoiding light treatment can inhibit the gene expression of key enzymes of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tannin biosynthesis, which may ultimately affect the synthesis of bitter and astringent substances in D. latiflorus shoots.

Method This study is based on data from sampling plots of P. yunnanensis natural population in Tianchi Nature Reserve of Yunlong County, Yunnan Province. The method of substituting space for time and Ripley's L function (based on the derivatives of Ripley's K function) was used to analyze the structure, spatial distribution patterns and spatial association at different growth stages under different scales of a P. yunnanensis natural forest population. Result The results showed that the DBH class and height class structure of P. yunnanensis natural population were complete, presented an invert J shape. With the scale increased, the distribution of P. yunnanensis natural population presented an "aggregate-random" type. At juvenile and small tree stages, the spatial distribution pattern presented an aggregate distribution at large scales, transformed into a random distribution with the scale increased. At medium tree stage, the spatial distribution pattern presented an aggregate distribution. To the stage of large tree, the spatial distribution pattern presented a random distribution. The different growth stages of P. yunnanensis natural population was significantly positively correlated at all scales. Conclusion The structure of P. yunnanensis natural population belonged to a increasing type. P. yunnanensis natural population at different growth stages presents different distribution pattern, indicating a strong spatial dynamic characteristic. The positive relationship between the growth stages of P. yunnanensis natural population has the advantage for population maintenance.

2018, 31(4): 75-82. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.011
Abstract:
Objective This study aims at providing a theoretical basis for the optimization and adjustment of the spatial structure of the Platycladus orientalis ecological forest and the optimization of the spatial structure of other ecological forest in the region by analyzing the spatial structure of P. orientalis ecological forest and evaluating its management urgency. Method Based on the data field-measured at P. orientalis ecological forest in Jiulongshan of Beijing, the spatial structure characteristics of P. orientalis ecological forest were analyzed by using seven spatial structure parameters including the mingling, dominance, uniform angle index, crowding, stand layer index, open degree and competition index. 10 indices were selected to conduct the evaluation index system of management urgency from the aspects of density, pattern, competition and mingling, and the standards were established. Meanwhile, the management urgency of P. orientalis ecological forest was evaluated. Result The spatial structure of the P. orientalis ecological forest was relatively simple, the pattern of distribution was random, the tree species composition was single, the trees of non-mixture and low-mixture were dominant, and showed a trend of single aggregation. The tree size differentiation was insignificant, and the P. orientalis was in an obviously dominant position and with higher stand density. It contained a higher proportion of dense and very dense trees; most trees were in the middle and upper layers, and its layer index was 0.288, suggesting that the layer structure was not obvious; the stand open degree and competition index were 0.274 and 0.318 respectively, which were in the state of insufficient growth space and moderate competition. The management urgency index of the P. orientalis forest was 0.8, and its grade of management urgency were particularly urgent, indicating that most characteristics of P. orientalis ecological forest did not meet the standards. It is needed to take effective measures to optimize the forest allocation and improve forest condition in order to achieve sustainable development of P. orientalis ecological forest. Conclusion Analyzing the stand spatial structure and evaluating its management urgency can find the unreasonable characteristics of forest structure, and develop the adjustment measures of space structure, so as to promote the development toward the healthy and stable direction for P. orientalis ecological forest, and achieve continuous gain of the ecological, economic and social benefits.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of planting density on stand growth characteristics of Mytilaria laosensis and to provide guidance for the density management. Method A 6-year-old M. laosensis plantation with different densities (2 500, 1 667, 1 111, 833 and 625 trees·hm-2) at Yunfu of Guangdong Province was used to investigate the average height, dominant height, diameter at breast height (DBH), survival rate and the height to the living branch (HLB) for 4 successive years. Result The results showed that, as planting density increased, the DBH and current annual increment (CAI) of DBH, survival rate, individual tree volume and CAI of individual tree volume declined significantly, while the HLB, stand volume and CAI of stand volume increased significantly. In a certain range of densities, the planting densities had few effects on stand height growth. In the sixth year after planting, the maximum mean height (11.4 m) occurred at a stand of 1 667 trees·hm-2 and the maximum dominant height (13.3 m) was found in the 1 111 trees·hm-2 density; the maximum CAI of height was 1.5 m·a-1 which occurred at a stand of 625 trees·hm-2; the average DBH, CAI of DBH, individual tree volume and CAI of individual tree volume showed the highest at the stand density of 625 trees·hm-2, which were 14.3 cm, 2.5 cm·a-1, 0.097 3 m3 and 0.038 2 m3·a-1, respectively, increased by 27.7%, 81.0%, 49.0% and 82.4% compared with the planting density of 2 500 trees·hm-2; the HLB, stand volume and CAI of stand volume were the highest at the stand density of 2 500 trees·hm-2, which were 6.0 m, 149.4 m3·hm-2 and 44.8 m3·hm-2·a-1, respectively, 2.61, 2.52 and 1.95 times that of 625 trees·hm-2 density. Conclusion The results of studying the effect of planting density on the growth of M. laosensis can be used as reference for the cultivation of M. laosensis.

2018, 31(4): 90-97. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.013
Abstract:
Objective To investigate the rational cutting intensity and maintain forest resource sustainability by studying the soil nitrogen change after cutting. Method Standard mean difference (SMD) was applied as a statistical index to measure the effect scale using Review Manager 5.3. The papers published during 1983 to early 2017 were used to study the effects of cutting on soil nitrogen by meta analysis. Result Cutting effectively decreased soil total nitrogen content[SMD=-0.55 (95% confidence interval (CI), -1.04——0.07) < 0], and increased soil NH4+-N and NO3--N content significantly[SMD=0.99 (95% CI, 0.51-1.47) >0; SMD=2.34 (95% CI, 0.49-4.19) >0], but had no significant effect on soil alkaline hydrolysis nitrogen content[SMD=-0.30 (95% CI, -1.06-0.47)]. The change of soil nitrogen varied with cutting intensity, and clear cutting had a greater effect on it. Conclusion The results of the study suggest that cutting intensity should be reasonably controlled, it is needed to reduce high-intensity selective cutting, promote low-intensity selective cutting and avoid clear cutting.

2018, 31(4): 98-103. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.014
Abstract:
Objective To study the growth characteristics of functional strains and to explore the principles of suitable bacteria. Method In this study, the effects of 10 pH gradients and 8 temperature gradients on the growth of 103 strains of nitrogen-fixing bacteria were researched. Result There were 103 bacterial strains containing nifH gene. The most suitable growth conditions of these strains were 28℃, pH=7. The temperature ranges suitable for growth were 20, 28 and 37℃, the pH values were 4, 5, 7 and 8. The strain 6003 was suitable to grow in low temperature alkaline soil, while the strains 09ul27, 1010, 2024, 029, 7002, lk2-1c (2) and zk3-1 were suitable to grow in high temperature alkaline soil. The strains suitable for growth in acid and alkaline soils were 1012 and 2025. According to the different growth characteristics of the bacteria, all the strains were classified into 9 categories by using SSI algorithm. Both the fifth and seventh categories belonged to Burkholderia, the second category belonged to Bacillus. There was no obvious clustering phenomenon in the other categories, and there was no significant correlation between the growth condition classification and the strains identification. Conclusion The suitable growth environment of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria is similar, and the most suitable growth conditions of these strains are 28℃, pH=7. 10 strains of nitrogen-fixing bacteria suitable in special environment are screened out. These strains are initially identified as Bacillus subtilis subsp, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium, Chitinophaga pinensis, Burkholderia xenovorans, Burkholderia phymatum, and Burkholderia bannensis. The results also show that the growth characteristics of the strains are not completely correlated with their biological characteristics by growth condition cluster analysis and 16S rDNA identification.

2018, 31(4): 104-112. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2018.04.015
Abstract:
Objective This study selected the Eucalyptus maideni woodland, Cupressus duclouxiana woodland, Pinus massoniana woodland and the natural secondary shrubs, low coverage Dodonaea viscosa and high coverage D. viscosa shrubs to investigate the spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture at different vegetation restoration patterns in karst faulted basins small watershed and to provide reference for vegetation restoration in this area. Method The rainfall and soil moisture were measured from May 2016 to April 2017 by using automatic weather observation system and soil moisture sensor. The temporal and spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture and the characteristics of soil water attenuation under drought conditions were studied by using the coefficient of variation and Kriging interpolation analysis method. Result (1) In different soil layers of the same vegetation type, the vertical variations of soil volume water content during the rainy and dry seasons were similar, and the soil moisture content in the rainy season was significantly higher than that in the dry season (P < 0.05). Each forest was moderately variant (Cv:12.88%~28.66%). (2) In rainy and dry seasons, the distribution of active layer and sub-active layer in the same woodland was different, but the distribution was same in different soil depth of the same shrub. (3) The soil volume water content of the six kinds of woodland reached the maximum value in August to September with a sufficient rainfall, ranging from 26.25%~44.08%. In the case of obviously insufficient rainfall, March to April reached the minimum value, ranging between 9.48%~17.47%. (4) The soil volume water content of 0~30 cm soil layer of three kind woodlands and 0~10 cm soil layer of three shrub species decreased to 1 day before rainfall for about 10 days. The 10~30 cm soil layer of low coverage and high coverage D. viscosa samples returned to the level of 1 day before rainfall for about 15 days and close to the plant wilting coefficient. Conclusion The soil volume water content of different vegetation restoration patterns in rainy season, dry season and average monthly shows that the E. maideni woodland > natural secondary shrubs > C. duclouxiana woodland > P. massoniana woodland > high coverage D. viscosa shrubs > low coverage D. viscosa shrubs. The seasonal drought and temporary drought in karst faulted basins are serious, after sufficient rainfall and reached the field capacity, the soil moisture of forest land and shrub in karst faulted basins is available to plants for 10~15 days.

Abstract:
Objective To approach the effect of altitude on the quality of bamboo shoots and provide reference for the cultivation of high-quality bamboo shoots. Method The appearance quality, nutrient quality and eating quality of bamboo shoots from three altitudinal gradients (110, 370, 560 m) were investigated. Result The shoot diameter, length, individual weight, edible parts ratios, soluble sugar, vitamin C, cystine, tyrosine and proportion of essential amino acids, tannin, oxalic acid of bamboo shoots were markedly influenced by altitudinal gradient (P < 0.05). The protein, fat, starch, total flavone, other free amino acids, essential amino acids, total amino acid, cellulose, lignose, the content of bitter, delicious, sweet amino acids and proportion of sweet, delicious amino acids showed no significant difference among different altitudes (P>0.05), but the content of aromatic amino acid, proportion of aromatic amino acids and bitter amino acids were also significantly affected by altitudinal gradients (P < 0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that the appearance quality of bamboo shoots was markedly influenced by altitudinal gradients, the appearance quality of shoots at middle and high altitude is superior to that of low altitude. The nutrition quality and eating quality of bamboo shoots are relatively obvious influenced by altitudinal gradients, but the influence of altitude on appearance quality was more significant.

Abstract:
Objective The expression of Populus class Ⅰ KNOX genes during the regeneration of adventitious shoot and adventitious root as well as in the vascular cambium were analyzed to reveal the function of class Ⅰ KNOX genes in woody plants meristem formation and differentiation. Method The nucleic acid and amino acid sequence of Populus class Ⅰ KNOX genes were obtained through blast analysis using Arabidopsis STM protein sequence as query in the genome of Populus trichocarpa. The phylogenetic tree was constructed according to the full length protein sequences of class Ⅰ KNOX genes from Arabidopsis and Populus. The intron/exon structure and domain composition were presented along the phylogenetic tree. The regeneration of adventitious bud and adventitious root using leaf and stem explants from 84 K (Populus alba×P. glandulosa) was used to simulate the shoot and root apical meristem initiation and differentiation, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR was carried out to analyze the expression of Populus class Ⅰ KNOX genes during the regeneration of adventitious bud/root and in the vascular cambium related region. Result Ten class Ⅰ KNOX genes were found in the genome of P. trichocarpa through sequence alignment analysis. According to the phylogenetic relationship and gene structure similarity, class Ⅰ KNOX genes from Arabidopsis and Populus could be divided into three groups. Arabidopsis KNAT2 and KNAT6 along with their Populus homolog genes belong to group 1, Arabidopsis STM and BP along with their Populus homolog genes belong to group 2. Group 3, to be noticed, was unique to Populus. Through investigating the expression alteration of Populus class Ⅰ KNOX genes during the regeneration of adventitious buds, it was found that group 1 genes showed increased expression during the transition from bud primordium to adventitious bud, while group 2 and group 3 genes demonstrated higher expression during the transition from meristem to bud primordium. As for the regeneration of adventitious root, group 1 genes showed increased expression in the stage when root primordium differentiate to adventitious root, while group 2 and group 3 genes demonstrated higher expression in the adventitious root formation stage. In addition, all Populus class Ⅰ KNOX genes had an expression in the vascular cambium, and the expression of group 1 gene PtKNAT2/6b and group 2 genes ARK1 and ARK2 were especially high. Conclusion Group 3 is a new group occurred during the evolution of class Ⅰ KNOX genes from A. thaliana to P. trichocarpa, which was along with group 1 and group 2 to participate in the regulation of different stages of meristem formation and differentiation. Most importantly, PtKNAT2/6b, ARK1 and ARK2 show high expression in the vascular cambium, which may play important roles in vascular cambium activity maintenance and xylem differentiation.

Abstract:
Objective In order to lay a theoretical basis for the large-scale management and water-saving irrigation of Dendrocalamopsis oldhamii container seedling, the method of simulating drought environment was employed to study the physiological characteristics of different nutrition absorb organs with different drought levels. Method The tissue culture D. oldhamii were selected as research object. The antioxidant enzyme, malonaldehyde, leaf photosynthetic pigment content and the roots activities were measured with different drought stress levels. Result The experiment showed that under simulated drought environment, with the increase of drought stress, the chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids of D. oldhamii leaves decreased significantly (P < 0.05), after rehydration, the chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b recovered significantly (P < 0.05), but the carotenoids was not significant(P>0.05). The roots activities under moderate drought stress (MS) and severe drought stress (SS) decreased by 14.35% and 33.31% compared to control (P < 0.05), and after re-watering, the root activities increased by 96.75% and 73.84% respectively. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities as well as malonaldehyde (MDA) content both in leaves and roots increased significantly, and after re-watering all of them decreased significantly. Moreover, the compensation ability after moderate drought stress (MS-CK) was significantly better than that after severe drought stress (SS-CK) (P < 0.05). Conclusion Under simulated drought environment, with the increase of drought stress, the root activity and leaf photosynthetic pigment content decrease significantly, on the contrary, the SOD, CAT and POD activity as well as MDA content increase. After re-watering, the root activity and leaf pigment content rise significantly, and the SOD, CAT and POD activity as well as MDA content decrease significantly. Moreover, the compensation ability under moderate drought is significantly better than that under severe drought. Different nutrition organs are not the same in removing active oxygen and repairing ability. It is also found that there is a negative correlation between the root activity and the photosynthetic pigment content of D. oldhamii and the degree of drought stress, while MDA content, SOD, CAT and POD activity are positively related to the degree of drought stress.

Abstract:
Objective The objective of this paper is to analyze quantitatively the leaf predawn water potential change with the growth season and age along canopy height for moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) in natural and drought stress environment, and to clarify the seasonal differences of water supply for individuals of different ages of Ph. edulis, lay a theoretical basis for the sustainable and efficient management of Ph. edulis plantations in the global climate background. Method The throughfall exclusion was set to simulate the drought stress, and the PSYPRO water potential measurement system was used to quantitatively analyze the trend of leaf water potential change in the predawn with the growth season and bamboo age. Result (1) There was significant difference among different seasons for leaf predawn water potential for the same age of bamboo (P < 0.05), regardless of throughfall exclusion or not. (2) The leaf predawn water potential changing with the growth season showed a peak trend for the same age of bamboo, and was different due to bamboo age. Under natural growth environment (the control), the predawn water potential for 1-and 7-year-old bamboo changing with the seasonal showed a single peak with the highest value in September, and for 2-to 5-year-old individual it showed a bimodal change trend with the highest values in September and December respectively. The seasonal change trend of leaf predawn water potential was consistent with the soil moisture. After the throughfall exclusion, the leaf predawn water potential was "double peak" type for 1-and 2-year-old individual, and was "single peak" type for 3-to 5-year-old individual, which changed with the seasons. (3) The change with increasing age of bamboo for leaf predawn water potential under throughfall exclusion environment was similar to that of the control during different growth season. Regardless of throughfall exclusion or not, the leaf predawn water potential decreased with the increase of bamboo age during the rhizome vigorous growth season from August to October, and showed the trend of the water transport from young bamboos to old ones, while the leaf predawn water potential increased with the increase of bamboo age during the shoot development period from October to March the following year, and the water transported from the high water potential of old bamboo to low water potential of young ones, indicating that the water supply direction between different age of bamboo individuals changed in different season. (4) During the vigorous growth of rhizome, the leaf predawn water potential under throughfall exclusion was significantly lower than that under natural growth environment, and the difference in leaf predawn water potential became more significant with the increase of bamboo age. Under throughfall exclusion, only the leaf predawn water potential of the bamboo with the age over 5-years-old was lower than the control during the shoot development period. (5) There were no significant differences in predawn water potential of different canopy leaves in different growth seasons, but the change trend of leaf water potential was also affected by the bamboo age. Conclusion There was a significant seasonal difference of leaf predawn water potential for same aged individual. Both the leaf predawn water potential and the soil moisture follow same seasonal change trend. The transport direction of water between different age of bamboo individuals varied with season, indicating that the leaf predawn water potential is an important factor in driving the bamboo to adapt to drought stress.
