Research on Parasitic Plant Resources in XizangAbstract:Parasitic plants are a unique group of plants that obtain nutrients from host plants through haustoria structure.Within the group,some are renowned medicinal herbs,while others are notorious agricultural weeds.Xizang,with its distinctive ecological environment,nurtures an exceptionally rich diversity of plant resources.How-ever,research on parasitic plant resources in Xizang has not yet been systematically conducted,Systematic compila-tion of existing literature data can provide a critical reference for comprehensively assessing parasitic plant resourc-es.In this study,a comprehensive catalog of parasitic plants in Xizang is established by integrating regional species diversity data and field investigations,documenting317species across38genera from7families.The analysis reveals that:(1)Orobanchaceae is the dominant family,accounting for 74.8%of the recorded species,with Pedicularis being the most prevalent genus(65.3%).(2)Ecological trait analysis demonstrates a predominance of hemiparasitism(90.2%)and root parasitism(83%),reflecting their adaptation to harsh alpine-arid conditions.(3)According to China Biodiversity Red List,10 species are classified as Vulnerable(VU),18 as Near Threatened(NT),and 53 as Data Deficient(DD).(4)Altitudinal distribution shows that hemiparasitic species in Xizang exhibit dense distribution at high altitudes(>4000 m)and a significantly broader altitudinal adaptation range compared to holoparasitic species,with only a holoparasitic species,Mannagettaea hummelii occurring above 4400 m.This study presents the first systematic analysis on the diversity patterns of parasitic plants in Xizang,providing critical baseline data for their conservation,sustainable utilization,and research into their evolutionary adaptation to extreme environment.
Study on Substrate Ratio Optimization for Soilless Pepper CultivationAbstract:To address the constraints on pepper production in Shigatse,Xizang,such as poor soil structure,shallow soil layers,weak biological and chemical activities,low humus content and continuous cropping obstacles,this study explored a low-cost soilless cultivation mode suitable for localized production.Using"Gaoyuan Zhixing"pep-pers as the experimental material and field soil as the basic substrate,four materials—vermiculite,fermented saw-dust,fermented sheep manure and yellow sand were selected as substrate components.An L16(45)orthogonal test de-sign was adopted to systematically investigate the effects of different ratio on pepper growth indicators(plant height,stem diameter and yield).The results showed that the optimal substrate ratio was Treatment 12(30%field soil+30%vermiculite+20%fermented sheep manure+10%fermented sawdust+0%yellow sand).Under this ratio,the substrate reached a bulk density of 0.28 g/cm³,total porosity of 85%,EC value of 1.6 mS/cm and pH value of 7.66,with all physico-chemical properties meeting the substrate requirements for pepper growth.Compared to Treatment 1,the pepper plant height increased by 38.2%,the stem diameter increased by 88.9%,and the yield-per-plant signif-icantly increased by 45.0%under Treatment 12 ratio,showing prominent comprehensive benefits.This formula,with local field soil as the main component,has effectively reduced cost.Moreover,with its excellent physico-chem-ical properties,it has created an ideal growth environment for pepper roots,comprehensively improving its biologi-cal yield.The research results provide a direct and feasible substrate optimization configuration scheme for the pro-motion and application of low-cost and high-efficiency soilless pepper cultivation mode in Shigatse region.
