- Abstract
To reveal the effects of the different city environment (clean area and polluted area) on native trees, leaf functional traits of six native trees in Zhanjiang were studied. The relationship between leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf functional traits were analyzed. The results showed that different leaf functional traits of the six native trees show difference in different environment. The fresh weight (FW) of Ficus microcarpa L.f., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Linn, Ixora chinensis Lam.and Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. in the two environments is different among each other significantly p<0.05 .The specific leaf area (SLA) of Ficus virens Aiton, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis Linn., Ixora chinensis Lam., Dracontomelon duperreanum Pierre and Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. which growing in clean area was significantly higher than in polluted area (P < 0.01), no significant SLA difference was found on Ficus microcarpa L.f. in the two environments (P > 0.05). LMA shows extremely significantly positive correlation with fresh weight and dry weight p <0.01 r2=0.186; p<0.01, r2=0.0806), and shows a weak significantly positive correlation to leaf area p <0.05, r2=0.0048), and it also shows a weak significantly negative correlation with width -length ratio p <0.01, r2=0.0173), and a significant moderate-intensity negative correlation with water content p <0.01, r2=0.4604 , but no difference is found with average width.
