    Abstract:

    To explore the reproductive strategy of Davidia involucrata in Fanjingshan Nature Reserve, so as to reveal the role of sprouting seedling and seeds seedling on the population maintaining, we investigated the population of D. involucrata in Biaoshuiyan of Fanjingshan Nature Reserve by per-tree survey. The diameter class structure chart was drawn according to the survey data, and which was used to replace the age structure. Then, the population static life tables of sprouting seedling and seeds seedling were compiled by using the uniform sliding technique. The survival curve, the mortality curve, the disappearance rate curve and other four survival function curves were plotted. The results showed that: (1) There was a certain fluctuation in the population age structure of D. involucrata. The young individuals were counted 78.78% according to the statistics of sprouting seedlings, while it was 21.45% when according to the statistics of seeds seedlings. However, the survival curve of either kind of statistics was close to Deevey Ⅱ. (2) The population of D. involucrata was growing, and the Vspi of sprouting seedling was higher than that of Vsepi(6.50%>2.30%). (3) The population of D. involucrata was decreased monotonically, and the sprouting seedling was more obvious. (4) The population cumulative mortality of D. involucrata showed a monotonically increasing trend, and the sprouting seedling was also more obvious. (5) The curve of survival rate and vanish rate of D. involucrata showed a monotonically upward trend, both sprouting seedling and seeds seedling kept a same trend. All of the above indicated that, the population of D. involucrata was a growing type, its survival curve belonged to Deevey Ⅱ, and the population would be stable in the later developing stage. The sprouting reproduction was more advantageous to maintain the population seedling quantity, and which had a very important role in maintaining the population stability of D. involucrata.
