Drought induces opposite changes in organ carbon and soil organic carbon to increase resistance on moso bamboo.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The variety of organs carbon concentration may be important for tree survival rate, drought resistance and tree subsequent recovery. However, it remains unclear how drought affect structural carbohydrate (SC) and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) export and transport on clonal plant, which can be correlated with sustain physiological metabolism and group drought resistance by resource sharing. To better understand the adaption ability of clone plants to drought and the linkage of organ carbon with soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions, we assessed how long-term drought affects organ carbon and its impact on SOC fractions among moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) ramets.

Methods

Throughfall exclusion included two treatments with simulated drought (TE) and con
