INTERRELATIONS OF BIOMASS OF (SMILAX SCOBINICAULIS) STEMS CUTICLE AND DAILY SOLAR RADIATION ALONG DIFFERENT ELEVATION ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT
Bing-Hua Liao*
ABSTRACT
Smilax scobinicaulis) not only is a vital medicinal material plant by treating joint pain, but also it is a widely distributed wide plant species from 500m to 3100m in Mei County of China. However, understanding links between total biomass of stems cuticle and daily solar radiation is difficult. This study explained that there is the increasing of total biomass of stems cuticle with increasing of daily solar radiation as well as links between total biomass of stems cuticle and daily solar radiation is the significant positive correlation from 20.578mol/m2•d to 24.158mol/m2•d along elevation from 500m to 1500m (P<0.01); there are decreasing of this total biomass of stems cuticle with increasing of daily solar radiation as well as the links between this total biomass of stems cuticle and daily solar radiation is the significant negative correlation from 24.15mol/m2•d to 27.246mol/m2•d along elevation from 1500m to 3100m (P<0.01). This research provides a series of areas ecological adaptation of daily solar radiation and six landscapes of this species. Therefore, this has vital theoretical and practical significance by medicinal plant species protection for better future of ecosystem services and eco-functions along daily solar radiation and elevation gradient.
Keywords: biomass of stems cuticle; daily solar radiation; links; medicinal; areas ecological adaptation.
