[Nitrogen and phosphorus contents and resorption efficiency of thirty broadleaved woody plants in Yangjifeng, Jiangxi, China.].

Nutrient resorption is an important strategy of nutrient conservation, which reflecting the ability of plants to conserve and utilize nutrients and adapt to environment. To explore the relationship between nutrient content and nutrient resorption of broadleaved woody species of different life forms (., evergreen vs.

[Effects of the current-year shoot stem configuration on leaf biomass in different canopy heights of woody plants in evergreen broad-leaved forest in Jiangxi Province, China.].

To investigate the effects of stem configuration on leaf biomass allocation in different organs of the current-year shoots at different canopy heights, relationships of biomass in different organs (i.e., leaves, stems, and twigs) and stem configuration (i.

[Allometry between twig size and leaf size of typical bamboo species along an altitudinal gradient].

To investigate the trade-off between the twig size and leaf size, we measured the total leaf mass, stem mass, individual leaf mass and leafing intensity of typical bamboo’s (Phyllostachys edulis, Indocalamus tessellatus, Oligostachyum oedogonatume, Yushania hirticaulis and Yushania wuyishanensis) twigs at different altitudes in Wuyi Mountain. The results showed that the exponents of the scaling between total leaf mass and stem mass on twigs significantly decreased with increasing altitude for all the five bamboo species. The common scaling exponents of total leaf mass vs.

Effects of light on the growth and clonal reproduction of Ligularia virgaurea.

Ligularia virgaurea is a perennial herb that is widely distributed in the alpine meadow on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet plateau. We investigated the patterns of growth and reproduction of L. virgaurea under two contrasting levels of light conditions for two continuous growing seasons.
