Ecological studies in structure and function of dwarf bamboo community

在胁迫和/或干扰条件下，苦竹奇诺的形态可塑性提高了物质生产效率。在北方茨木县的冷温带森林中生长着三种矮生竹（日本竹、北生竹、多枝竹）。研究了S. nipponica和S. borealis被ca. 30米的相对海拔（栖息地与栖息地最近的沼泽地之间的海拔差）。S.在S.北极光没有成长。S.分枝的形态和生理生态性状具有高度的可塑性。

In stress and/or disturbed conditions, the morphological plasticity of Pleioblastus chino improved the efficiency of matter production. In cool temperate forests in the northern Ibaraki Prefecture three dwarf bamboos (Sasa nipponica, Sasamorpha borealis, Sasaella ramose) grew. The distribution of S. nipponica and S. borealis was separated by ca. 30 m of the relative elevation (difference elevation between the habitat and the nearest swamp to the habitat). S. ramosa was distributed in the study site where S. borealis did not grow. S. ramosa showed high plasticity of morphological and ecophysiological traits.
