Abstract:A common phenomenon in the coastal zone, excavating clamworms on the beach covered with Spartina alterniflora, will create a loose soil structure, reduce the ability of the soil to store water, and ultimately cause a low soil\|water condition. Whether we can use these conditions to reduce the invasiveness of Spartina alterniflora, and then provide a solution to control Spartina alterniflora, is an important topic of ecology. Therefore, we simulated three different soil\|water conditions, and then measured several parameters of Spartina alterniflora under these conditions, including the morphological and survival parameters, clonal parameters and biomass accumulation and allocation. The results showed that: the soil\|water condition had no significant effect on the leaf length and rhizome biomass of Spartina alterniflora (p> 0.05),while it had significant effect on the culm height, branching intensity, clonal number alive, survival rate of clones and above\|ground biomass (p< 0.05); in low soil\|water condition, shoot number, stem diameter, above\|ground biomass allocation and leaf biomass allocation were significantly lower than the other two groups (p< 0.05),while the under\|ground biomass allocation was significantly higher than the other two groups (p< 0.05); in medium soil\|water condition, rhizome length, rhizome node number, above\|ground biomass and stem biomass allocation were not significantly different from the other two groups (p> 0.05), while significant differences showed between the other two groups (p< 0.05); in high soil\|water condition, total biomass, stem biomass and root biomass were significantly higher than the other two groups (p< 005), and the rhizome biomass allocation was significantly lower than the other two groups (p< 0.05), while these parameters showed no significant differences between the other two groups (p> 0.05). Consequently, we can conclude that moderate soil\|water condition benefits the growth and spread of Spartina alterniflora, while low soil soil\|water condition inhibits the growth and reproduction of Spartina alterniflora, and thus impacts the continue of its population expansion.
