Abstract:
The photosynthetic diurnal courses of Ziziphus jujuba var .inermis , Robinia pseudoacacia , Platycladus orientalis and Ailanthus altissima were studied .The results showed that the diurnal changes of net photosynthesis (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr)and stomotal conductance (Cond)of Z .jujuba var .inermis were one-peaked curves , reaching a maximum at 10 :00 .The diurnal changes of Cond of R .pseudoacacia and Pn of P .orientalis were one-peaked curves , reaching a maximum at 9 :00 and 10 :00 respectively .And the diurnal changes of Pn and Tr of R .pseudoacacia were one-peaked curves , but that of Cond and Tr of P .orientalis were two-peaked curves . The Fv/F m ratio of P .orientalis , A .altissima and R .pseudoacacia reached a minumin at 13 :00 in a clear day of autumn , but Fv/Fm ratio of Z .jujuba var .inermis reached a minumin from 10 :00 to 13 :00 .The Fv/Fm ratio of R .pseudoacacia came back quickly at sunset , but that of A .altissima , P .orientalis and Z .jujuba var . inermis came back slowly at sunset compared with that of R .pseudoacacia .The diunal courses of the photosynthesis of the tree species measured are different , so some suggestions about how to selecting these tree species in reconstructing artificial communities are put forward .[ Ch , 5 fig .4 tab .17 ref .]

[Abstract](1232) [PDF](210)
Abstract:
It was found through cultivation of Atractylodes macrocephala from 20 provenances distributed in 8 provinces and cities from 2003 to 2004 that there were great differences in standard and quality of original rhizomes of Atractylodes macrocephala .The main reasons for this phenomenon are that the materials to be planted are in chaos and there were no cultivars so far .A genetic analysis reveals that there are great genetic variations either between provenances or between individuals in terms of main traits , and most traits have a medium or high heredity . So selection might lead to good genetically improved results .On the basis of characteristics of genetic variation , provenance test and selection of superior individuals , it was found that Shiliang in Tiantai County and West Mount Tianmu in Lin'an City were good provenances of Atractylodes macrocephala .Methodology and standard for selection of superior individuals were worked out .[ Ch , 3 tab .4 ref .]
