Protein kinases are major signal transduction factors that have a central role in mediating acclimation to environmental changes eukaryotic organisms. In this study, we cloned and identified three salt overly sensitive 2 (SOS2) genes the woody plant Populus trichocarpa, designated as PtSOS2.1, PtSOS2.2, PtSOS2.3, which were transformed into hybrid poplar clone T89 (Populus tremula× tremuloides Michx T89) mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Southern northern blot analyses verified...
To understand the effects of water stress on plant growth, nutrients distribution and their stoichiometry in different organs poplar seedlings, further explore validation growth rate hypothesis (GRH) under treatments. Poplar seedlings (Populus deltoides 'Nanlin 3804') were grown drought (D), normal management (CK), low-level flooding (LF), high-level (HF) followed by flood recovery (FR) treatments 60 days. seedling contents among analyzed. The had greater relative biomass, height stem-basal...
Poplar is a globally important industrial tree species due to its fast growth and abundant applications. However, poplars require sufficient water during the growing season, drought usually limits their production. Drought caused by climate change poses serious threat widely planted poplar plantations, making it crucial clarify improve resistance of poplars. We employed two male clones, namely, Siyang-1 (Populus × euramericana ‘Siyang-1’) NL3804 deltoides ‘Nanlin 3804’), investigate...
Abstract Successive cultivation of short‐rotation eucalyptus plantations often cause serious decline in soil quality China, which limits sustainable production. Green manure application is a potential strategy for improving fertility while ensuring ecological sustainability. Nevertheless, the impacts various green species on remain unclear. In present study, we investigated how nutrient cycling and bacterial communities respond to (Legume Gramineae), namely Tephrosia candida , Sesbania...
Abstract Aeration can alleviate soil hypoxia stress of Phyllostachys praecox bamboo under mulching conditions, but how aeration affects properties, fungal community structure, and development is unclear. We studied the responses shoots, rhizome growth to organic (TM), with (TA1 TA2), no‐mulching treatments (CK) from a field experiment in March July, 2019. During period (March), improvement treatment (TA2) improved O 2 content, shoots yield, nutrient availability significantly when compared...
Artificial pruning is an important silvicultural practice that can produce clear wood in poplar plantations. This study focused on the growth of poplar, understory vegetation diversity and soil properties response to different intensities We implemented three treatments based height-to-crown base (HCB) tree height (H) ratio Populus deltoides ‘Nanlin 3804′ plantations: CK (no pruning), a 1/3 treatment 1/2 treatment. The conditions, biodiversity were investigated for one year after pruning....
Nitrogen (N) availability and mineralization are key parameters transformation processes that impact plant growth forest productivity. We hypothesized suitable plantation spacing can lead to enhanced soil N nitrification, which in turn promote tree growth. Studies were conducted evaluate seasonal patterns of inorganic pools as well rates nitrification three layers under four treatments. Results showed significantly affected annual net mineralization, whereas content surface soils was by only...
We evaluated the biomass and contents of five major macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca Mg) in 10-year-old poplar trees (Populus deltoids Bartr. cv. "Lux"), determined their nutrient use efficiencies (NUEs) at Zhoushan Forestry Farm (32°20′ N, 119°40′ E), Jiangsu province, eastern China. The above- below-ground was 161.7 t ha-1, which 53.3% stemwood. aboveground part were as follows: 415.1 kg N 29.7 P 352.0 K 1083.0 89.8 Mg ha-1. highest stembark, followed by branches, roots, stemwood, foliage. NUEs...
Abstract Agroforestry systems provide soil microorganisms with a rich variety of carbon sources and relatively stable living environment. However, the effects agroforestry on metabolic dynamics have not been well studied, especially in subsoil. To assess vertical seasonal variations microbial capacity as consequence various planting systems, five typical including three poplar were investigated. The Biolog EcoPlate method was used to determine capacity. average colour development, source...
Abstract A large amount of secondary successional vegetation (subtropical evergreen broadleaved forests) has formed after the extensive deforestation and cultivation coniferous forests in Wuyi Mountain, Southeast China. However, we lack a detailed understanding dynamic changes microbial community structure its co‐occurrence network during succession. The features that are responsible for alterations soil bacterial remain poorly defined. Therefore, compared physicochemical properties, enzyme...
Agroforestry systems are considered effective methods of carbon sequestration. In these systems, most the is stored in soil, and pattern tree planting can influence spatial distribution organic matter input into soil. However, limited information available about extent this influence. study, horizontal vertical distributions soil (SOC) labile fractions were investigated four systems: a pure poplar (Populus deltoides cv. “35”) system, wide-row (14 m spacing) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)...
Deforestation for agricultural development or extension is a common land-use problem that may cause series of changes in the ecological environment and soil carbon stock planting systems. However, response physical, chemical properties stocks systems initial period after deforestation have not been thoroughly examined, especially subsoil. We investigated variations physicochemical organic to depth 100 cm poplar (Populus deltoides cv. 35) plantation, summer maize (Zea mays L.) followed by...
