摘要:
Solidago canadensis,a perennial Compositae plant originating from North America,was introduced into China as a horticultural plant in *** natural condi-tions,*** allocates large amounts of energy to sexual reproduction and produces many seeds,which reflects an r-strategy with high seed number and small seed *** addition,naturalized populations have a great capacity to grow clonally with underground *** has become an invasive weed in eastern China,and has caused serious damages to agricultural production and ecosystems in several provinces in *** order to understand the reproductive characteristics of *** and effectively control its spread,we examined soil conditions,seed charac-teristics,seed germination and the capacity for asexual reproduction in different plant *** investigated the population dispersion of *** in fixed sites for three years,and analyzed the seasonal dynamics of the morphological parameters of the underground parts and the caloric values of different organs of *** also compared differences in the root systems of *** and composite exotic *** following results were obtained:1)Under natural conditions,the germination season of *** lasts from March to October,with a peak from April to *** growth and asexual reproduction are especially vigorous during summer due to high temperatures and soil drought *** the other hand,the rainy season proves suitable for seed *** *** flower between September and January,and fruit in late October.A mature plant can produce about 20000 *** mean weight of 1000 seeds ranges from 0.045 g to 0.050 g,and the mean seed moisture content ranges from 60%to 80%.The light-winged seeds disperse readily by air,water,vehicles,human activity or through livestock.2)*** seeds have a wide tolerance for different values of pH,salinity and soil *** mean percent germination of seeds
