Abstract:It is commonly known that bamboo shoots reduce native diversity by spreading through neighboring communities via their rhizome systems. However, the mechanism of root interaction between native species and expanding bamboo is poorly understood. This study aims to explore the differences in parameters such as biomass vertical distribution and phenotypic plasticity of root orders between expanding species, specifically moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis, Pe), and native species, Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceola… Show more
