It was found that total soil organic carbon (TSOC), easilyoxidisable carbon (EOC) and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) under bamboo plantation wereincreased, but microbial biomass carbon (MBC) was decreased. On the contrary, Chinese fir induceddeclines of all fractions of C including TSOC, EOC, WSOC and MBC. The percentages of the activefractions of soil C (EOC and WSOC) were increased in the plantations as compared to the nativebroad-leaved forest, but proportions of soil organic C as MBC were decreased. It could be concludedthat bamboo plantation had a great ability of not only fixing C but also accelerating soil C poolcycle, improving nutrient and microorganism activity; therefore, it is a good ecosystem and could berecommended for wide development. Chinese fir would shrink the soil C pool and deteriorate soilbiological fertility, so it did not benefit CO2 fixing and land sustainable utilization.展开更多

Seeds were soaked in GA3 （10 mg·L^-1） for 24 h, then chilled at 3-5℃ for 15 days. Four temperature regimes viz. 10℃, 15℃, 20℃ and 25℃ were used for stimulating seed germination. Results showed that soaking and chilling significantly increased germination percentage. The germination percentage was highest at 10℃. Overall results showed that soaking seeds in GA3 （10 mg·L^-1） for 24 h, moist chilling for 15 days, and germinating at 10℃ produced an effective germination in both the species studied. The statistical analysis of the data proclaimed significant effect of treatment, temperature, provenance and treatment with temperature interactions on seed germination.展开更多
