Linkages of Leaves Moisture of Medical Plant (Senecio L.) and Elevation in Shan County

A key plant species (Senecio L.) not only is a vital multilevel functional medicinal material of indications respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, enteritis, dysentery, but also it widely distributed wide species. This elevation from 500m to 1500m in six landscapesin Shan County China. However, understanding dynamics leaves moisture theplants difficult along elevation. Herein showed that linkages between the and significant positive connection 1000m(P<0.01) as well this asignificant negative 1000m 1500m(P<0.01). provides types eco-adaptation for finding new Therefore, study has theoretical practical significance plants protection environmental gradientover spatial-temporal-environmental-disturbance scales (STEDS) interdisciplinary research diversity, ecosystems diversity landscape diversity.Keywords: moisture; elevation; relationship; eco-adaptation; eco-functional value;
