Abstract  

Although the importance of plant architecture was underscored on plants adaptation to environment, little attention was paid on it while doing plant research. Here, field sampling and investigation were taken to show both the shoot and root architectural plasticity of Tamarix ramosissima of different ages. The results showed that T. ramosissima of different ages performed significant differences on shoot and root structure. Young individuals possessed smaller branch bifurcation ratio, shorter first order branch and coarser branch diameter which benefitted to their adaption to drought and wind stress. The root bifurcation ratio, average linking length, length and diameter of different orders increased significantly by ages, suggesting that there's a certain tradeoff of carbon consumption and distribution strategy among T. ramosissima individuals of different ages. Roots of all T. ramosissima individuals formed a herringbone pattern, and the topological parameters of T. ramosissima in different age didn't differ much.

Key words:  shoot architecture      root architecture      root topology      environment adaptation      bifurcation structure
