Rainfall-runoff Processes in Moso-bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) Forests : an Observation Result of Overland-flow and Biomat-flow

SELECTED PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MOSO BAMBOO (Phyllostachys Pubescens)

YU, H. Q., JIANG, Z. H., HSE, C. Y. & SHUPE, T. F. 2008. Selected physical and mechanical properties of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens). Selected physical and mechanical properties of 4–6 year old moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) grown in Zhejiang, China were investigated at different vertical and horizontal positions. Two way analysis of variance and Tukey’s mean comparison tests in...

Biogeochemical dynamics of nutritional elements in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests

Carbon storage estimation of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest stands in Fujian, China

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest is one of the important terrestrial forest ecosystems with a high potential for carbon fixation. However, the estimation of carbon storage in Moso bamboo stands has shown great variation in methods and results. A detailed field survey of 27 plots (10 m × 10 m) was conducted to investigate carbon storage of pure Moso bamboo stands in Jian-ou city, a t...

Carbon stock of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests along a latitude gradient in the subtropical region of China

Latitude is an important factor that influences the carbon stock of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests. Accurate estimation of the carbon stock of Moso bamboo forest can contribute to sufficient evaluation of forests in carbon sequestration worldwide. Nevertheless, the effect of latitude on the carbon stock of Moso bamboo remains unclear. In this study, a field survey with 36 plots o...

Effect of copper toxicity on root morphology, ultrastructure, and copper accumulation in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens).

A hydroponic culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of copper toxicity on root morphology, ultrastructure, and copper accumulation in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens). Root ultrastructure of Moso bamboo was studied by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Application of 200 μM Cu resulted in an accumulation of 810 mg kg(-1) dry weight and 91 mg kg...
