Introduction Experiment Of Bamboo Species In Taian City

Bamboo, as a kind of important sustainable biological resources, enjoys high economic, ecological, cultural and landscape value, and is honored as a"Green Treasure". China, which owns the richest bamboo resources in the world, covers about 1/3 of bamboo species and bamboo forest area on the earth, and wins the honor of"Bamboo Kingdom of the World". Thinking that most of China's bamboo resources distribute in the area to the south of Yangtze River, if some cold-resistant species can be successfully introduced to the northern part of China with large-area plantation realized, it will greatly benefit the improvement of econological environment, promotion of bamboo industry, as well as prosperity of economy there.In this study, 39 bamboo species were introduced from the Bamboo Research Institute, Nanjing Forestry University, to carry out plantation test in the bamboo park to be established in Shankou Town of Shandong Province. Through four-year observation and research, detail investigation on the survival, growing and anti-adversity performances of every species were conducted, so as to select those adaptable in Shandong, with functional examination in soil improvement and water resources conservation carried out on some representative species as well. Detailed results were shown as follows:(1) 14 species (Phyllostachys heteroclada Oliver,P.sulphurea cv.houzeau, P.gozadakensis Nakai, P. Aureocaulis, Phyllostachys vivax McClure, Phyllostachys. sulphurea cv. houzeau, Phyllostachys glauca McClure, Phyllostachys praecox C. D. Chu [Phyllostachys praecox C. D. Chu et C. S. Chao], Phyllostachys aureosulcata McClure cv. Spectabilis, Bambusa vulgaris cv. Wittata, P. bashanensis, Phyllostachys nidularia f. smoothsheath McClure,I. bashanensis (C.D.Chu et C.S.Chao)H.R.Zhao et Y.L.Yang,) presented good landscape effect and fine adaptabilitywell suitable for planation in Shankou Town and promotion in other areas.(2) 8 species (P.bissetii McClure, P. angusta, P. glauca McClure, P. praecox cv. Prerernails, Sasa fortunei(van Houtte)Fiori, Indocalamus latifolius (Keng) McClure Sunyatsenia Pseudosasa japonica,) indicated common performance, seeing small-scale plantation adoptable, and taming operation and tests needs to be conducted for further conclusions.(3) In 14 species (phyllostachys bambusoides, Phyllostachys bambusoides f. shouzhu Yi, Phyllostachys bambussoides cv. tanakae, P.glauca f. yuozhu J. L. Lu, Phyllostachys angusta,B. eutuldoides, Phyllostachys prominens W. Y. Xiong, Pleioblastus gozadakensis Nakai, Phyllostachysnigra (Lodd) Munro, Phyllostachys white McClure, Phyllostachys vivax McClure cv. Aureocaulis, Phyllostachys aurea, Phyllostachys aurea ), a relatively poor performance with high leaf-withering rate as welll as low shooting rate and bad growing state was observed which made it hard for plantation.(4) In three species (Fargesia semicoriacea Yi, Phyllostachys iridescins C. Y. Yao et S.Y.Chen Phyllostachys heterocycla(Carr.)), extreme unadaptability was observed which made them can not survive.(5)The results of hotosynthetic rate indicated that, the rate of large-scale scattered bamboos (Phyllostachys glauca McClure,Phyllostachys vivax McClure) and dwarf bamboos (Sasa fortunei (van Houtte) Fiori)> medium-scale scattered bamboos(Phyllostachys aureosulcata Mc Clure cv. Spectabilis) > small-scale symbodial ones(Phyllostachysnigra Munro), seeing the results in consistance with the adaptation performance of the four kinds of bamboos.(6) Soil improvement research indicated that, different bamboo species imposed relatively great influence on the microbes in soil, but with no significant influences on the physicalchemical feature of soil observed.
