Research Abstract |
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.
