To screen environment-friendly seedling cultivation substrates which could replace peat and with less cost, we compared the effects of different agricultural and forestry residue mixed substrates on cutting propagation of , in an experiment following randomized block design. There were five types of mixed substrates, including peat + vermiculite + perlite (T), edible mushroom residue (EMR) + vermiculite + perlite (T), carbo-nized rice husk (CRH) + vermiculite + perlite (T), EMR + slag + sawdust (T) and CRH + EMR + slag (T). The results showed that the bulk density of T was the lowest, followed by T, which significantly differed from other mixed substrates.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the population density, growth characteristics, and biomass allocation of Cynodon dactylon across different altitudes in the hydro-fluctuation belt of the Three Gorges Reservoir.
  • At lower altitudes (shallow water), C. dactylon had higher population density and biomass, while at higher altitudes, the plant showed increased root size and length.
  • The research highlighted specific adaptation strategies to flooding and drying conditions, such as enhanced growth patterns and biomass allocation in response to differing environmental pressures.

Based on the investigation of the plants in Thuja sutchuenensis community, the life form spectra, leaf character, and hierarchical-synusia structure in the community were analyzed. The life form spectra of the plants in the community were 73.2% of phanemphyte, 18% of hemicryptophyte, 6% of geophyte, 2% of chamaephyte, and 0.
