- Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted to study the Eleocarpus glabripetalus seedlings leaf chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics and growth in different seasons under simulated acid rain stress (heavy, pH=2.5; moderate, pH=4.0; and control, pH=5.6). In the same treatments, the leaf relative chlorophyll content (SPAD), maximum PS II photochemical efficiency (Fv / Fm ), actual PS II photochemical quantum yield (ΦPS II), plant height, and stem diameter in different seasons were all in the order of October>July>April>January. In the same seasons, all the parameters were in the order of heavy acid rain>moderate acid rain>control. The interactions between different acid rain stress and seasons showed significant effects on the SPAD, Fv / Fm, plant height, and stem diameter, but lesser effects on ΦPS II, qP and qN.
