An optimal proportion of mixing broad‐leaved forest for enhancing the effective productivity of moso bamboo [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2015
AbstractMoso bamboos (Phyllostachys edulis) are important forestry plants in southern China, with substantial roles to play in regional economic and ecological systems. Mixing broad‐leaved forests and moso bamboos is a common management practice in China, and it is fundamental to elucidate the interactions between broad‐leaved trees and moso bamboos ...

Biomass Estimation, Nutrient Content, and Decomposition Rate of Shoot Sheath in Moso Bamboo Forest of Yixing Forest Farm, China

Forests, 2021
The biomass, nutrient content and decomposition rate of shoot sheaths remain unexplored in the study of Moso bamboo forests. The rapid growth of shoots means many bamboo sheaths are produced each year, and therefore should not be neglected in the study ...

Age-Dependent Plasticity in Hydraulics and Allocation of K, Si, and Starch in Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens). [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens), a fast‐growing and potentially invasive species, exhibits culm‐age heterogeneity in structure and physiology; however, its water‐use strategies in relation to aging remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to examine age‐related variations in hydraulic performance, vessel integrity, and nutrient allocation in ...

Compartmentalized Homeostasis Drives High Bamboo Forest Productivity under Nutrient Imbalance. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study reveals how Moso bamboo achieves high productivity despite nutrient‐poor soils. It employs a unique strategy, maintaining strict nutrient balance in its leaves while using woody tissues as flexible storage reservoirs. This compartmentalized mechanism buffers the plant from soil phosphorus limitation and microbial competition, resolving the ...

Moso Bamboo Invasion Enhances Soil Infiltration and Water Flow Connectivity in Subtropical Forest Root Zones: Mechanisms and Implications

Forests
Plant roots influence soil infiltration by altering its properties like porosity and bulk density, which are essential for ecohydrological cycles. Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), using its well-developed underground root system, invades neighbor ...

Depth-dependent stabilization mechanisms of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in different mixed modes of subtropical Moso bamboo forests [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Forest soils play a pivotal role in terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N) cycling, particularly in subtropical Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests ecosystems.

Investigating changes of forest aboveground biomass induced by Moso bamboo expansion with terrestrial laser scanner

Ecological Informatics
As a typical clonal plant, Moso bamboo expands excessively worldwide, causing changes in various aspects of the native forest ecosystem. Among these aspects, aboveground biomass (AGB) is a key indicator characterizing forest productivity and carbon ...
