Abstract

Hedera helix L. is a widespread liana that significantly influences forest ecosystems in temperate zones, exhibiting high adaptability to varying soil moisture and light levels. In this study, it was confirmed that H. helix dominates the herbaceous layer of the Kórnik Arboretum (Poland), with clear links between its above-ground biomass and key environmental factors. The study revealed that, under intense soil shading, the leaf to stem biomass ratio was disproportional, favoring leaves. Leaf and stem water content reflected the plant's adaptation to soil moisture, aligning with its field capacity. Strong relationships were found between leaf water content and soil moisture, while the correlations between leaf water content and light availability were weaker. The study also confirmed positive relationships between daily light integral and leaf water content, with a less pronounced effect on stem water content. These results enhance understanding of H. helix's role in temperate forests and its impact on ecosystem regeneration.

限制性环境条件对 Hedera helix L. 无性繁殖芽功能特性的影响。

Hedera helix L. 是一种广泛分布的藤本植物，对温带地区的森林生态系统有重大影响，对不同的土壤湿度和光照水平有很强的适应性。在这项研究中，研究人员证实鹤望兰在科尔尼克植物园（波兰）的草本植物层中占主导地位，其地上生物量与主要环境因素之间存在明显联系。研究发现，在强烈的土壤遮蔽下，叶片和茎的生物量比例失调，叶片更占优势。叶片和茎的含水量反映了植物对土壤水分的适应性，与其田间能力相一致。研究发现，叶片含水量与土壤水分之间的关系密切，而叶片含水量与光照之间的关系较弱。研究还证实了日光照积分与叶片含水量之间的正相关关系，而对茎秆含水量的影响则不太明显。这些结果加深了人们对螺旋藻在温带森林中的作用及其对生态系统再生的影响的了解。

期刊介绍： In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches. Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
