- Abstract
Changium smyrnioides Wolff. and Anthriscus sylvestris (L.) Hoffm. have similar photosynthetic characters; they use radiant energy in winter and early spring effectively, but cannot take full advantage of higher irradiance after spring. The specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area ratio (LAR), and leaf mass ratio (LMR) of C. smyrnioides were lower than those of A. sylvestris. The photosynthetic period of C smyrnioides was about 160 d shorter than that of A. sylvestris, causing the total photosynthetic production of C. smyrnioides to be lower than that of A. sylvestris. Hence if C. smyrnioides is disturbed, it could not recover within a short period.
