Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation In July, the highest photosynthetic rate of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings occurred at 9:00 pm on a sunny day.
- Intervention effect Net photosynthetic rate was low in Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings under the low soil water treatment (WL), at 1.89±0.94 μmol m-2s-1, compared with the high (WH) and medium (WM) treatments.
- Observation Net photosynthetic rate of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings under the high soil water treatment (WH) was 4.41±1.10 μmol m-2s-1.
- Observation Net photosynthetic rate of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings under the medium soil water treatment (WM) was 4.28±1.23 μmol m-2s-1.
- Observation Daily photosynthetic course of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings showed a double-peak pattern under all three soil water treatments.
- Observation Daily courses of stomatal conductance and intrinsic water use efficiency of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings showed a similar pattern to photosynthesis.
- Observation In October, daily high Pn of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings in the WH group appeared at 12:00.
- Observation In October, daily high Pn of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings in the WM and WL groups was found at 9:00.
- Observation In October, the daily photosynthetic course of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings showed a single peak in three groups.
- Association Average Pn, Gs and intrinsic WUE of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings were higher in autumn than in summer in all three groups.
- Intervention effect Pn, Gs and intrinsic WUE of Kmeria septentrionalis seedlings were all low in soils with low water content, in both summer and autumn.
- Recommendation The authors suggest that controlling soil water content may promote growth of K. septentrionalis and increase the effectiveness of ex situ conservation.
