LINKING ROOTS MOISTURE TO MEDICAL PLANT SPECIES (SENECIO L.) AND ELEVATION IN SHAN COUNTY
Bing-Hua Liao
ABSTRACT
A key plant species (Senecio L.) not only is a vital multilevel functional medicinal material of indications of respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, enteritis, dysentery, but also it is a widely distributed wide plant species. This plant species is widely distributed elevation from 500m to 1500m in six landscapes in Shan County of China. However, understanding dynamics of roots moisture of this species is difficult along elevation. This research explained that linking roots moisture of the species and elevation is a significant positive connection from 500m to 1000m (P<0.01) as well as the linking roots moisture of this species to elevation is a significant negative connection from 1000m to 1500m (P<0.01). This study provides six types and eco-adaptation for finding new species. Therefore, this study has theoretical and practical significance for medicinal plant protection along elevation and environmental gradient over the spatial-temporal-environmental-disturbance scales (STEDS) in the multilevel green space diversity.
