Abstract
As an important plant vegetative reproduction strategy,root sprout might influence forest regeneration and succession in a large scale.In this study,we analyzed the root sprout trees and their relationships with mother trees based on the investigated data of all the free standing trees≥1cm DBH(diameter at 1.3mabove ground)in Chawan 1hm2 forest plot(Chawan plot)in Gutianshan National Nature Reserve,Zhejiang Province.The results showed that 68species(67.3%of the total species)had the sprout phenomenon,belonging to 48 genera,26families.Lithocarpus glaber,Castanopsis eyrei and Schima superba had the stronger capability of sprout in canopy layer.Corylopsis glandulifera,Eurya muricataand Camellia checkiangoleosa had the stronger capability of sprout in sub-canopy layer and Eurya rubiginosa Var.attenuata,Vibernum erosumand Rhododendron simsii had the stronger capability of sprout in shrub layer.The result of correlation analysis between the dominant root sprout trees and their mother trees showed that species importance value in each vertical layer didn't change obviously whether root sprouts were included or not.Besides,the root sprouting capability of species increased fromⅠtoⅢgrowth stages in canopy layer,and the species increased fromⅠtoⅡgrowth stages in sub-canopy and shrub layer.Furthermore,the distribution situation of the dominant root sprout trees was largely similar to the corresponding mother trees in Chawan plot and many species owned root sprouts were spatially clustered.
