AbstractThe ecological adaptability of four typical plants (two grasses: Thysanolaena maxima and Miscanthus floridulus; two shrubs: Melastoma candidum and Melastoma sanguineum) in the early successional stage of a tropical rainforest in Hainan Island of China was studied. Our purpose was to test the difference of the adaptive modes and ecological functions for four different functional groups. We measured the physiological parameters and morphological indexes to define the adaptability of the plants at this stage. Results showed that T. maxima possessed stronger water use ability, whose adaptation was mainly by the morphological architecture regulation strategy (by higher leaf self-shading). M. floridulus had greater water regulation ability and its adaptation was mainly through the physiological regulation strategy (by higher net photosynthetic rate (A) and water use efficiency). However, M. candidum and M. sanguineum integrated the morphological architecture and physiological strategies (by high A and leaf self-shading). According to the ecophysiological characteristics and adaptation modes, the plants in the early successional stage of the tropical rainforest in Hainan Island can be categorized into three functional groups: (1) physiological adaptation group, (2) morphological adaptation group, and (3) physiological and morphological integrated adaptation group.

The effect of photosynthetic parameters on species acclimation in an arid mountainous region of China

“…Light and CO 2 curves reflect how plant physiological functions respond to transient environmental changes (Shi et al, 2006). The maximum photosynthetic rate of species may suffer from depression in different degrees under higher irradiance (Mao et al, 2014). Studies have demonstrated that plants obtain the maximum photosynthesis by optimizing resource allocation between RuBisCo and chlorophyll to maintain a balance between Vcmax and Jmax (Wilson et al, 2000).…”

The Effects of Expansive Shrubs on Plant Species Richness and Soils in Semi‐arid Communal Lands, South Africa

“…The ability of expansive plants to expand in a community is dependent on several direct and indirect interactions between the species and their environment and other species (Pyšek et al, 2004;Simberloff, 2010;Kelbel & Adamčíková, 2011). The strength and direction of these species interactions are context dependent, and their outcomes depend on several factors such as resource supply, physical stress, disturbance, competitive ability and life history stage (Chesson, 2000;Mao et al, 2014). These factors influence the relative competitive ability of species in acquiring resources and influence the required conditions for expansive species to find successful niches (Kraaij & Ward, 2006).…”
