Analysis on Photosynthetic Characteristics and Carbon Sequestration Potential of Lespedeza bicolor of SP1 Generation

Abstract:

Lespedeza bicolor has developed root system and the ability of carbon sequestration, which can effectively improve the soil nutrient. We measured the correlation of net photosynthetic rate and physiological and environmental factors using space mutated Lespedeza bicolor of SP1 generation, the change of soil carbon and nitrogen content and microbial biomass was also discussed. The conclusion showed that the diurnal variation of photosynthesis was registered as double－peak curve and had "noon break" phenomenon. It showed strong ability of photosynthesis and its mean diurnal photosynthetic rates was 8.77 umolCO2·m-2s-1. Highly correlation was existed between net photosynthetic rate and atmospheric CO2 concentration ,the content of soil organic carbon and total nitrogen and soil microbial biomass displayed negatively relationship to the depth of the soil. Base on the study , we can conclude that the photosynthetic organic matter was effectively accumulated by Lespedeza bicolor of SP1 generation which made use of atmospheric CO2 and the root system located in the superficial soil has better potential of carbon sequestration.
