And the percentages of fallen leaves in all leaves and burst buds in all buds were estimated respectively on every autumn or spring. The results indicated that although the tree growth slowed down in the first year after girdling, but in the second year after girdling, the growth of the girdled trees tended to become normalized and up to the third year, it was similar to that of the normal trees. According to its developmental trait after girdling, the authors suggested that optimal girdling of the trees is in every 4 or 5 year intervals. With this method it was able to improve bark production and to protect the resource from extinction as well.展开更多

In this paper, a review concerning the evolutionary trends of development from plant developmental anatomy to plant developmental biology, plant comparative anatomy to plant systematic biology and plant ecological anatomy to plant environmental biology during the past 50 years in China is addressed and their potential development and usefulness in the near future were largely discussed.展开更多
