Effects of photosynthetic properties, soil environment and bioactive constituents of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver under two planting models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The distinct cultivation approaches of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (EUO) have significant impacts on the planting environment, yield, content of bioactive constituents, and economic benefits. In this study, we systematically investigated the effects of the traditional arbor forest model of EUO planting (AFMEP) and the using leaf model of EUO planting (ULMEP), a dwarf dense planting model, on various parameters. These parameters include physicochemical properties, microbial diversity, and enzyme activities of the soil, as well as photosynthetic characteristics, active ingredient content, and carbon storage of the plant, alongside the economic benefits of EUO.

Results

The maximum net photosynthetic rate of ULMEP leaves increased by 128.4% compared to that of AFMEP leav
