چکیده
Leymus chinensis and Leymus secalinus are perennial rhizome grasses; photosynthetic physiological characteristics were compared between them in Sandy and Saline-Alkaline Soils on the Songnen Plains of China. The contents of chlorophyll and soluble saccharides were positively correlated with photosynthetic characteristics. The photosynthetic capacity of L. chinensis was significantly greater than L. secalinus, with great economical and ecological potentials. L. chinensis has better adaptaion to the saline-alkali condition than L. secalinus.

Effects of Grazing and Mowing on Leymus Chinensis Grassland in the Songnen Plain of Northeastern China
Effects of mowing and grazing on a Leymus chinensis grassland in the Songnen plain of northeastern China were studied using eight replicates of four grazing and mowing treatments. Canopy cover and biomass of the dominant species (L. chinensis) were lower, and cover of the halophyte Suaeda corniculata higher, on grazed than ungrazed; ungrazed plots showed a response to mowing, but not grazing; s...
متن کاملLemmas induce dormancy but help the seed of Leymus chinensis to resist drought and salinity conditions in Northeast China.
Leymus chinensis is a dominant grass in the Songnen grassland of Northern China. The lower germination caused by the presence of lemmas has proved to be an obstacle for the use of the seeds of this plant by humans. However, it is still unknown if the lemmas have other ecological roles such as resisting drought and saline conditions. Three experiments were designed to investigate the ecological ...
متن کاملPhysiological Adaptive Mechanisms of Leymus Chinensis during Germination and Early Seedling Stages under Saline and Alkaline Conditions
Germination and early seedling growth are the most critical periods for plant establishment in saline-alkaline soil, the main factor limiting plant growth and production worldwide. To explore the physiological adaptive mechanisms of the two stages under saline and alkaline conditions, Leymus chinensis was tested by mixing two neutral salts (NaCl: Na2SO4) and two alkaline salts (NaHCO3: Na2CO3)....
متن کاملThe Influence of Precipitation Regimes and Elevated CO2 on Photosynthesis and Biomass Accumulation and Partitioning in Seedlings of the Rhizomatous Perennial Grass Leymus chinensis
Leymus chinensis is a dominant, rhizomatous perennial C3 species in the grasslands of Songnen Plain of Northern China, and its productivity has decreased year by year. To determine how productivity of this species responds to different precipitation regimes, elevated CO2 and their interaction in future, we measured photosynthetic parameters, along with the accumulation and partitioning of bioma...
متن کاملRhizomes Help the Forage Grass Leymus chinensis to Adapt to the Salt and Alkali Stresses
Leymus chinensis has extensive ecological adaptability and can grow well in saline-alkaline soils. The knowledge about tolerance mechanisms of L. chinensis could be base for utilization of saline-alkaline soils and grassland restoration and rebuilding. Two neutral salts (NaCl : Na₂SO₄ = 9 : 1) and two alkaline salts (NaHCO₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 9 : 1) with concentration of 0, 100, and 200 mmol/L were use...
