- Abstract:
-
To analyze the influence of slope gradient on photosynthetic physiological characteristics of vegetation,the change rate of photosynthetic and transpiration of Medicago sativa and Cynodon dactylon growing on slopes with different gradient were measured.The results showed that the photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate of Medicago sativa and Cynodon dactylon were increasing with slope gradient,and the maximum occurred on 15°slope.The photosynthetic physiological characteristics of these two plants were affected by slope gradient.The changes of Medicago sativa was significant,but Cynodon dactylon changed little when the gradient is less than 60°.Medicago sativa grows well on slope below 30°due to its good nitrogen-fixing ability.Nevertheless,Cynodon dactylon could grow on steep slope in greening engineering.This study provided not only scientific references for species selection,but also theoretical basis for ecological restoration on slope land.
