| Abstract/Contents: | "An experimental study was conducted to examine the effects of physiological integration of Zoysia japonica clones in heterogeneous soil environments. Z. japonica clones which had undergone interconnection and disconnection treatments grew in four types of habitats whose overall soil nitrogen levels showed a gradient. The results showed that the average multiple-nodes number, average stolon lengths, and biomasses of Zoysia clones did not show a gradient in the intact treatments. Internode disconnection decreased these indices significantly. Average root biomasses in tubes of infertile soil were consistently greater than those in tubes of fertile soil and root/shoot ratios showed the same trends, which revealed a difference from other typical clonal plant species. In intact treatments, soil nitrogen promoted internode elongation, specific internode length, and also the formation of tillers. Internode disconnection greatly decreased further internode elongation but increased specific internode length. Maintaining clonal integration and avoiding serious disturbance seem to be important, especially in the earlier growth stages." |
