Yi, the site factors, and the morphological character and biomass of
standard bamboo were investigated in 16 sample spots of bamboo forest in
Liangping county, Chongqing City, and then the effects of site factors
on the clonal growth was discussed. Three site factors as the slope
position, altitude, species diversity, had significant effects on the
clonal growth of the bamboo. The effects of the gradient, slope aspect,
humus thickness, and soil thickness were little, but that of slope
aspects was not significant. The altitude of above 800 m, the upper
slope, the steep slope and slope, and the thin soil were not suitable
for its clonal growth. The results showed that (1) the main site factors
affecting the growth of P. bambusoides f. shouzhu were slope position, soil thickness and humus thickness; (2) The forestation site of P. bambusoides f. shouzhu
should be selected at the flat ground and the gentle slope of the hills
below altitude of 800 m, and the slope position of the forestation site
should be selected at the mid and lower position of a hill; (3) Soil
thickness and humus thickness should be kept at a suitable level; (4)
The diversity of plant species in the bamboo forest should be kept at a
suitable level for keeping its growth environment.
