Abstract

Revealing the adaptation strategies of liana leaf in karst rocky desertification habitats could provide basic data and theoretical basis for vegetation restoration and reconstruction of rocky desertification areas.In this study,leaf samples of 8 common liana species in the Maolan Karst rocky desertification habitat were gathered to evaluate their morphological,anatomical,and elemental composition indices.The characteristics of the intraspecific and interspecific variations in leaf traits of lianas were analyzed,and the resource strategies adopted under the karst rocky desertification habitats were further explored.1)Various degrees of intraspecific and interspecific variations were present in leaf morphological,anatomical,and chemical element traits.The intraspecific variation ranged from 0.07% to 34.56%,whereas interspecific variation spanned from 4.30% to 70.05%.2)Leaf nitrogen content was significantly positively correlated with phosphorus content and potassium content,and phosphorus content was significantly positively correlated with potassium content.3)Principal component analysis showed that species with higher specific leaf area,nitrogen content,phosphorus content,and magnesium content,such as Rubus alceifolius,Parthenocissus semicordata,Berchemia floribunda and Callerya cinerea,were clustered on the negative correlation side of the first principal component,tending to adopt a resource acquisition strategy.While species with higher thickness of various leaf tissues,calcium content,carbon-to-nitrogen ratio,and nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio,such as Rosa laevigata,Elaeagnus bockii,Smilax china and Bauhinia curtisii,were clustered on the positive correlation side of the first principal component,suggesting a resource conservation strategy.Overall,the study highlighted significant intraspecific and interspecific variability in leaf morphological,anatomical,and chemical traits within the karst rocky desertification context.Notable correlations among different traits were identified,with species exhibiting similar leaf trait syndromes adopting analogous resource strategies.

Key words： karst forest; lianas; leaf functional trait; variation; stoichiometry
