Effects of burial in sand and water supply regime on seedling emergence of six species
Zheng, Yuanrun; Xie, Zhixiao; Yu, Yi; Jiang, Lianhe; Shimizu, Hideyuki; Rimmington, Glyn M. (Oxford University Press, 2005-06)Air seeding has long been regarded as a quick and successful measure for vegetation rehabilitation in China. However, seedling emergence of often-used species including Agriophyllum squarrosum, Artemisia sphaerocephala, ... -
Effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination of Artemisia sphaerocephala
Zheng, Yuanrun; Xie, Zhixiao; Gao, Yong; Jiang, Lianhe; Xing, Xuerong; Shimizu, Hideyuki; Rimmington, Glyn M. (Wiley, 2005-05)Artemisia sphaerocephala is widely used for vegetation rehabilitation, but its germination is very low after air seeding of achenes. We explored effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination. Results show ... -
Elevated CO2 accelerates net assimilation rate and enhance growth of dominant shrub species in a sand dune in central Inner Mongolia
Zheng, Yuanrun; Xie, Zhixiao; Rimmington, Glyn M.; Yu, Yuanjiang; Gao, Yong; Zhou, Guangsheng; An, Ping; Li, Xiangjun; Tsuji, Wataru; Shimizu, Hideyuki (Elsevier, 2010-02)It has been reported that elevated CO2 can enhance plant growth and water use, and that desert plants in particular will show the strongest response to rising atmospheric CO2 due to the strong water stress on these plants. ... -
Responses to air temperature and soil moisture of growth of four dominant species on sand dunes of central Inner Mongolia
Zheng, Yuanrun; Rimmington, Glyn M.; Xie, Zhixiao; Zhang, Lei; An, Ping; Zhou, Guangsheng; Li, Xiangjun; Yu, Yunjiang; Chen, Lijun; Shimizu, Hideyuki (Springer Verlag, 2008-06)Little attention has been paid to how four dominant shrub species distributed in semi-arid areas respond to the combined effects of temperature and water supply. Seedlings of four species were grown in a glasshouse for ... -
Vegetation responses along environmental gradients on the Ordos plateau, China
Zheng, Yuanrun; Xie, Zhixiao; Jiang, Lianhe; Shimizu, Hideyuki; Rimmington, Glyn M.; Zhou, Guangsheng (Springer Verlag, 2006-04)The Ordos plateau is a unique ecotone and is a focal region for the campaign to reduce or reverse desertification in China. This paper explores the relationship between vegetation and environmental gradients on the Ordos ...
