Abstract

In order to explore the photosynthetic characteristics of tropical montane rain forest tree species at different successional stages on Hainan Island, the diurnal variations of the seedling’s photosynthesis of three representative tree species (Endospermum chinense in the primary successional stage, Elaeocarpus dubius in the middle successional stage and Parakmeria lotungensis in the old growth stage) in four relative irradiance levels were studied by the pot experiments. Endospermum chinense had the strongest ability of leaf temperature controlling, which showed lower leaf temperature than Elaeocarpus dubius and P. lotungensis in the diurnal changes. Elaeocarpus dubius had the highest photosynthetic physiology plasticity. Elaeocarpus dubius was similar to Endospermum chinense on photosynthetic rate and lower than P. lotungensis on leaf temperature under sunny days, whereas it didn’t differ significantly with P. lotungensis on photosynthetic rate and leaf temperature under cloudy days. Endospermum chinense and P. lotungensis had higher water use ability than Elaeocarpus dubius, which showed lower stomatal conductance and transpiration rate and higher water use efficiency. Endospermum chinense had higher photosynthetic capacity, which showed higher photosynthetic rate than P. lotungensis. The differences of plant species on photosynthesis capacity, leaf temperature control ability, photosynthetic physiology plasticity and water use ability had important effects on succession of plant community.
