The aqueous methanolic leaf extract of Fargesia robusta var. Pingwu was evaluated in vitro for its antioxidant capacity using the TEAC and ORAC assays. C-Glycosyl flavones, farobin A (1) and farobin B (2), together with three known compounds, tricin-5-O-glucopyranoside (3), 2''-O-α-rhamnosyl-6-C-(6-deoxy-ribo-hexos-3-ulosyl)luteolin (4), and luteolin-6-C-glucopyranoside (homoorientin) (5), were isolated from the hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves of F. robusta. The structures of the compounds were determined by spectroscopic analyses including UV, 1D and 2D NMR, and MS. Compounds 1, 4, and 5 exhibited potent antioxidant activity in the TEAC assay, while compounds 1, 3, and 5 showed the highest antioxidant capacity in the ORAC assay.

Diet plays a pivotal role in dictating behavioral patterns of herbivorous animals, particularly specialist species. The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is well-known as a bamboo specialist. In the present study, the response of giant pandas to spatiotemporal variation of bamboo shoots was explored using field surveys and GPS collar tracking.

To explore the natural regeneration and its affecting factors of Fargesia robusta clone population, the main diet bamboo for giant panda, after Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, an investigation was conducted on the growth and emergence of the bamboo shoots at three habitats with different intensities (strong, moderate, and null) of earthquake disturbance. In the moderately and undisturbed habitats, the basal diameter of the survived bamboo shoots was significantly greater, as compared with that in strongly disturbed habitat, and the height of the survived shoots decreased in the order of undisturbed > moderately disturbed > strongly disturbed habitat. No significant difference was observed in the density of new bamboo shoots among the three habitats, but the density of the survived bamboo shoots was significantly higher in the strongly and moderately disturbed habitats than in the undisturbed habitat, and the density of 1- and 2 years old bamboos showed a significant positive correlation with the density of dead bamboos.

From 2003 to 2007, the methods of plot sampling and positioning observation were adopted to investigate the population density, basal diameter, and plant height of Umbrella bamboo (Fargesia robusta) clone in the Wolong Natural Reserve of China. In the meantime, the effects of wilderness-training Ailuropoda melanoleuca's feeding and artificial harvesting on the population regeneration of the clone were studied, and the responses of the population structure (age-, size-, and height-class distribution) to different management modes (A. melanoleuca's feeding, artificial harvesting, control) were approached with the scale- and shape-parameters of Weibull distribution function.
