Abstract:The respiratory rate of different developping stages of Schima superba and Castanopsis fargesii in successional series of evergreen broad leaved forest was studied and the respiratory rates of different developping stages of S.superba and C.fargesii in the same successional stage were compared.The results show that in every successional stage,the respiratory rate of C.fargesii is higher than that of S.superba. In the early successional stage with stronger light intensity,the respira...
