Adaptation Mechanism of Robinia Pseudoacacia Under Different Site Conditions in Loess Hill and Gully Region
[Objective] The adaptation mechanism and cost of Robinia pseudoacacia under different site conditions in the loess hilly and gully area of the Loess Plateau were studied to provide support for vegetation restoration in this area.[Methods] By investigating the variations in the functional traits and growth performance of R. pseudoacacia at sites with different slope aspects and positions
we analyzed the main factors affecting the growth of R. pseudoacacia in a heterogeneous environment in the loess hilly and gully area.[Results] ① The leaf nitrogen content
leaf phosphorus content
leaf organic carbon content
root phosphorus content
root organic carbon content
and root tissue density of R. pseudoacacia were higher on sunny slopes than on shady slopes. With a change in the position of the slope from a lower to a higher position
the leaf nitrogen content
leaf phosphorus content
leaf organic carbon content
root phosphorus content
root nitrogen content
specific leaf area
and leaf thickness decreased
while the root organic carbon content and leaf tissue density increased; ② Significant relationships were found between the functional traits of R. pseudoacacia and environmental factors
with the soil factors exerting the most influence. A trade-off between functional traits has been found
not only within the same organ
but also among different organs; ③ The plant height
diameter at breast height (DBH)
ground diameter
and crown width of R. pseudoacacia was larger on sunny slopes than on shady slopes and decreased significantly with a change in the slope position from lower to higher. Meanwhile
a significant relationship was also found between the growth and functional traits of R. pseudoacacia.[Conclusion] On sites at lower positions with a south-facing aspect
R. pseudoacacia has a lower adaptation cost and can bring about greater ecological benefits.
