Abstract

Plant functional traits reflect the influence of surrounding environment and adaptability to environmental changes. Plants growing on saline soil can adapt to this kind of stress by adjusting plant functional traits. In order to study the effect of saline environment on plant functional traits, we selected a plantation in a coastal park as the research object. We sampled trees, shrubs and grass layers, and analyzed the differences of leaf functional traits among different plants, and discussed the adaptive performance of plants to salinization stress through functional traits. In this study, ten species (Fraxinus chinensis, Ailanthus altissima, Sophora japonica, Populus tomentosa, Salix babylonica, Gleditsia sinensis, Tamarix chinensis, Sonchus oleraceus, Conyza Canadensis, Echinochloa crusgalli) were selected as the research objects to analyze their leaf area, leaf perimeter and leaf aspect ration, to explore the differences of functional traits among plants and their adaptation to saline environment. The results showed that the main leaf functional traits of F. chinensis remained stable in different forest ages, and significant differences were found in the leaf area and leaf aspect ration among different layers of plants.
