Respones of Physiological Adaptability of Vetiveria Zizanioides on Alternating Flooding-Drought Stress
Due to the periodical water level change of the hydro-fluctuation belt in Three Gorges reservoir area
soil of the hydro-fluctuation belt repeatedly experienced the process of flooding-drought. Thus
most of the original plants were difficult to adapt to the new habitat and that lead to seriously damage of the original ecosystems in the hydro-fluctuation belt. This research imitated the regular pattern of soil moisture condition of the hydro-fluctuation belt in Three Gorges reservoir area and investigated the photosynthetic physiological characteristics and ecological adaptation mechanism of Vetiveria zizanioides under alternating flooding-drought stress with four treatments in 30
60
90
and 120 d as cycles. Results showed that different alternating flooding-drought stress significantly affected growth and photosynthetic physiological characteristics of Vetiveria zizanioides seedlings. Plant height
net photosynthetic rate
stomatal conductance
and chlorophyll content physiological variables of each group showed different trends with time. Meanwhile
the alternating cycle was greater
the variation was greater. Whatever
each group eventually can gradually restore or stabilize the state
to maintain a high survival rate. Therefore
Vetiveria zizanioides have a good tolerance and adaptability to flooding and drought. It can be chosen as a plant species for ecological construction in Three Gorges reservoir area.
