Root System Characteristics of Herbaceous Plants at Different Sites of Aquatic-terrestrial Ecotone of Lijiang River
root surface area and root biomass in different soil depths were studied to assessed the correlation between root system characteristics and aboveground biomass
root-shoot ratio. This research was conducted on gentle slope
steep slope
middle bar and artificial bank slope of four typical site types on the aquatic-terrestrial ecotone of Lijiang watershed. The result showed that:(1) Within the same site type
the root biomass
aboveground biomass and root-shoot ratio of different main herbaceous plants were different significantly; Root length and root surface had some differences in different site type. On steep slope and artificial bank slope
there were significant differences between root length and surface area(p<0.05). On middle bar
the difference of root surface area was significant(p<0.05).(2) Polygonum hydropiper and Conyza canadensis grow best on the gentle slope. Steep slope was the most suitable site for Sida rhombifolia L. and Achyranthes bidentata Bl. The middle bar was the most appropriate area for Tatarian aster and Artemisia argyi. Artificial bank can provide the optimum environment for the growth of Humulus scandens Merr.
