Response of Carex moorcroftii leaf anatomical structure to habitat aridification by CAI Huiwen1, WANG Hongbin2, ZHANG Dacai1*

“…The results were as follows:(1)The epidermal cells, bulliform cells and air cavity area on the abaxial surface of leaf tip and leaf base, leaf thickness and mechanical tissue thickness at leaf base were significantly positively correlated with soil volumetric moisture content(R2=0.06-0.34, P<0.01); the paraxial cuticle thickness, cell area, number of vascular bundles in parts of leaf tip, leaf middle and leaf base, and diameter of vascular bundle in leaf middle were significantly negatively correlated with soil volumetric moisture content(R2=0.08-0.53, P<0.01).(2)The anatomical structure of C. moorcroftii leaf had great plasticity(0.53-0.94)and variability(18%-63%), and bulliform cells, air cavities, and paraxial epidermal cells had the greatest plasticity and variability, and the plasticity index and the coefficient of variation of leaf base anatomical structure were significantly higher than that of leaf tip and leaf middle(P<0.05). …”
