Ecological studies in structure and function of dwarf bamboo community

在逆境和/或扰动条件下，Pleioblastus chino的形态可塑性提高了物质生产效率。在茨城县北部的寒温带森林中，生长着三种矮竹（Sasa nipponica, Sasamorpha borealis, Sasaella ramose）。相对海拔（生境与离生境最近的沼泽之间的海拔差）约为30 m。ramosa主要分布在北方冷杉不生长的研究点。拉莫沙在形态和生理生态性状上表现出较高的可塑性。

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.
