[Abstract](1193) [PDF](210)
Abstract:
The traits of DBH , height , volume , wood density , wet heartwood ratio , round degree , utilization ratio , and crooked degree were studied through variance analysis to learn about the genetic variation of all traits based on the 12th year' data. All traits except crooked degree were significantly different among the clones of Populus deltoides (I-69)Populus euremericana (I-45).The narrow-sense heritabilities of all these traits except crooked degree were 0.65 , 0.75 , 0.50 , 0.81 , 0.51 , 0.71 , 0.63 respectively , which indicated that all traits were genetically from medium to high. That is to say that all traits were more strongly controlled by genes than by environments and that high genetic gain could be gotten through selection.The 895 , 797 , 312 , 139 and 194 were the fastest clones of growth ;1271 , 410 , 187 , 748 and 1317 were the heaviest clones of wood density ;561 , 748 , 1150 , 1317 and 1381 were superior clones according to the round degree and utilization ratio.The traits of growth , wood quality and stem form had their own elite clones.In order to evaluate all these clones appropriately , all traits should be joint analyzed based on the breeding objective.[ Ch , 3 tab .13 ref .]

[Abstract](1298) [PDF](222)
Abstract:
The hydrogel is a super absorbent macromolecule compound that can absorb pure water up to hundred or thousand times of its dead weight .Since the hydrogel can absorb water in the rainy season and slowly release water for plant use in dry season , it can help plants to survive under dry condition and increase the survival rate of afforestation .So far , most studies of hydrogel are on the properties of water retention , there are few reports on its nutrients retention properties .Data in the field trials and greenhouse experiments showed the hydrogel could significantly decrease the loss of nitrogen and potassium.The loss of nitrogen of Sequoia sempervirens and Alnus ferdinandi var .coburgii decreased by 23.8 %-65.2 % and that of potassium aecreased by 19.8 % -86.2 % compared to the controlled group .When the added nutrients were kept in a fixed quantity , the loss of nutrients decreased with the increase of hydrogel .The field trials showed the hydrogel application increased the contents of potential nitrogen by 133.1 %-295.8 %, phosphorus by 10.4 %-43.2 % and potassium by 124.2 %-220.3 % in the forest soil .Thus , we can conclude that application of hydrogel improves not only the soil moisture condition but also the nutrients status through decreased nutrient leaching .[ Ch , 2 tab .11 ref .]

[Abstract](1246) [PDF](297)
Abstract:
An important task of biodiversity research is to evaluate the diversities of previous and existent species . Many measure indexes and methods are put forward in the study of evaluating the diversities of forest communities in the temperate zone .Different measure methods imply different ecological significances .To choose the appropriate measure indexes for the study of the diversities of communities in the temperate zone , measure methods of - diversity , -diversity and -diversity were systematically summarized and expatiated .The most appropriate measure indexes and methods for the evaluation of the community diversities in the temperate forest were found out by the comparison of different measure indexes and methods .Species richness index , Simpson index , Shannon-Wiener index , Alatalo evenness index , PIE and ecological dominance index were optimum measure indexes for evaluating - diversity of communities in the temperate forest ;Whittaker index and Bray-Curtis index were suitable for the measure of -diversity ;-diversity could be substituted by -diversity and -diversity .The findings provide powerful proofs for the further study and evaluation of the community diversities in the temperate forest .[ Ch , 38 ref .]
