The results showed that deterministic models were inadequate for describing its clonal growth, but the diffusion models and the randomwalk models suited for the clonal growth characteristics of the population. And it was found that random-walk models were better than diffusion models for describing a population in an environment with rich natural resources, and the latter was better in a poor environment.展开更多

The results showed that the integration of water and nitrogen metabolism occured among parental, young and old branches of a plant when water passed through its stolons. Under the sufficient supply of light, water and nutrients from soil the newly developed branches showed similar capacity in taking in sufficient water and nitrogen to that of old branches. The development of the new branches did not affect the growth of the old and parental branches attached. The results also indicated that energy values in roots was significantly related with plant age, however, the energy values were various in the different parts of a plant.展开更多
