Growth mechanisms and model fitting of module biomass of Pleioblastus pygmaeus seedlings
【Objective】This study focused on the growing regularity and model fitting of module biomass of a dwarf ornamental bamboo species, Pleioblastus pygmaeus (one-and-a-half year old seedlings), and will provide a theoretical basis for rapid propagation and centralization of small-sized bamboo seedlings.【Method】During the approximately one-and-a-half year growth process after sowing, we conducted a follow-up investigation on P. pygmaeus seedlings, including the plant height and ground diameter of the mother plants, emergence time, plant height and ground diameter of tillering seedlings, and appearance and development of bamboo rhizomes. Multiple morphological indicators, including dry weight of leaves and culms, plant height of tillering seedlings, and length of bamboo rhizomes, etc. were fitted by a logistic model and polynomial function. The relative growth curves of plant modules with time were analyzed. The relationship between plant height, ground diameter and biomass was investigated. The ratio of dry weight between aboveground and underground areas was examined.【Result】The seedlings were unearthed about 1 week after sowing. On the 11th day after sowing, the first leaf was fully expanded. The first generation of tillering seedlings appeared approximately three months after sowing. Primary bamboo rhizomes were generated approximately six months after sowing. One year after sowing, the culms on the primary bamboo rhrizome system grew vigorously. In one and a half year after sowing, the second and third-grade bamboo rhrizomes began to differentiate and grow. The ground diameter and plant height of tillering seedlings increased gradually with their differentiation. The module biomass of P. pygmaeus seedlings increased with time. With the same ground diameter, dry weight of culms increased with plant height. Within three months after sowing, the aboveground biomass of seedlings was greater than the underground biomass of seedlings, and their ratio showed an upward trend. Within three to seven months after sowing, the aboveground biomass was lighter than the underground biomass, and their ratio tended to show an upward trend. Within 10 months to one year after sowing, the aboveground part was heavier than the underground part, but the dry weight ratio of the former to the latter was initially increased and then decreased. In one year after sowing, the ratio of aboveground and underground dry weight showed a downward trend, but it gradually tended to be stable. 【Conclusion】This study systematically revealed the growth mechanism and dynamic growth process of various modules of P. pygmaeus seedlings between the period of sowing and stem elongation. The increase in module biomass of P. pygmaeus seedlings fitted into the logistic model with time during the growth process. When the ground diameter of P. pygmaeus seedlings was the same, there was a significant linear relationship between plant height and biomass. For most of the time during the growth process, the aboveground biomass of P. pygmaeus seedlings was greater than the underground biomass of P. pygmaeus seedlings.

Seedling emergence and subsequent survival and growth are vital for natural forest restoration or plantation establishment by means of seeds. Such information is lacking for the African bamboo species. Two experiments were carried out in a greenhouse to evaluate the influence of seed orientation and sowing depth of the lowland bamboo Oxytenanthera abyssinica on seedling emergence, survival and growth. A randomised complete block design was used. Seedling emergence in the seed orientation experiment followed the order embryo-end-up>lay-flat>embryo-end-down. Survival rate after 62 days decreased in the order lay-flat>embryo-end-down>embryo-end-up. Mean seedling height and number of leaves per seedling followed a similar pattern. Seeds sown on top of the soil surface and at 2.5 mm depth achieved faster and higher seedling emergence than those sown at 5 and 10 mm depths. However, mean seedling height and number of leaves per seedling were higher in 5 and 2.5 mm depths than surface and 10 mm depths. There were significant quadratic relationships between sowing depth and seedling height (p=0.034) as well as number of leaves per seedling (p=0.032), both peaking around 5 mm soil depth. Lay-flat orientation, which is the most frequent position in broadcast sowing, is recommended at 5 mm sowing depth for the lowland bamboo based on overall performance in seedling emergence, survival and growth.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to predict culm height development and to evaluate biomass accumulation and carbon storage in the initial growth stage of moso bamboos (Phyllostachys pubescens). A total of 30 bamboos were sampled based on their diameter at breast height (DBH). I predicted the culm heights daily based on the Richards growth function for these bamboo samples. After they reached their maximum heights, the biomass and carbon storage were determined. RESULTS: The results showed that the Richards function accurately simulated the height growth of bamboos and that the growth potential of culm heights increased with increasing DBH classes. In contrast, the time when the maximum growth rate occurred (t max ) appeared to not be influenced by DBH classes and was close to 20 days for all DBH classes. The culms arrived at their maximum heights in about 40 days regardless of DBH class. In addition, astonishing biomass accumulation and carbon storage was found during this period, and the aboveground biomass and carbon storage were predicted to be 3.44-17.33 and 1.58-8.04 kg culm(-1) for moso bamboos, respectively. The allometric model was used to predict the relationships between DBH and aboveground biomass in this stage. CONCLUSIONS: I compared the biomass accumulation between this stage and the entire yield period (5 years) and found that the bamboos accumulated three-fourths of their biomass for the entire yield period in only 40 days. This revealed that biomass accumulation and carbon storage mainly occurs in the initial growth stage for individual moso bamboos.
