“…Thus, these findings point to the high phenotypic plasticity of F. simplex seedlings in response to the interactions of different shading treatments and soil types, which plants achieve through a variety of regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, the changes in morphology, growth, and nutrient content may be related to different physical and chemical properties of different soil types [15,44]. In this study, the total biomass of F. simplex seedlings was the largest when they were cultured in acid purple soil, which is similar to previously reported for Ricinus communis seedlings [20].…”

Light and soil environments have extensive heterogeneity for many plants species affecting plant growth, reproduction, and distribution. However, the interaction effects of these two factors on the ecophysiological traits and adaptive strategy of plants remain largely unclear. In the present study, we set four shading levels and three soil types to investigate the effects of shade and soil type on seedlings growth, C:N:P stoichiometry responses, and nutrient use efficiency in Firmiana simplex (F. simplex). The maximum of total biomass was observed in acid purple soil under 75% shade, with a maximum difference of 3.6 times. With the increase in shading intensity, C content in the root, stem, and leaf reached maximum value under 75% shade. However, C content in the root and N content in the stem reached a maximum value of 420.6 g·kg−1 and 13.7 g·kg−1 in acid purple soil, respectively. With the increase in shading intensity, the total C and N accumulation showed a trend of progressive increase and then decrease, reaching the maximum value of 346.2 mg and 10.7 mg under 75% shade, respectively. The N:P ratios of various organ ranged from 3.1 to 11.9 in acid purple soil and red soil, indicating that the seedlings growth was restricted by nitrogen. We concluded that the interactions of shade and soil types might adjust the C:N:P stoichiometry and influence the dynamic balance between nutrients and organs in F. simplex seedlings.

“…This may be due to its poor water permeability, poor air permeability, and heavy clay texture. The soil properties, like organic matter, water-holding capacity, texture, water permeability, air permeability, etc., had significant influences on plant growth and development [1,8,44]. Soil pH is also a limiting factor, implying that an appropriate pH value is more conducive to plant growth [29].…”

“…Soil is the basic substrate for plant growth and development, and its physicochemical properties are important external influencing factors for plant growth and development [1,2]. Different types of soil represent different physical and chemical characteristics due to differences in their formation processes, nutritional conditions, etc., which will lead to differences in water absorption efficiency, nutrient absorption, and transportation efficiency during plant growth and development [3,4].…”

“…Different types of soil represent different physical and chemical characteristics due to differences in their formation processes, nutritional conditions, etc., which will lead to differences in water absorption efficiency, nutrient absorption, and transportation efficiency during plant growth and development [3,4]. In plants, the responses of physiology and biochemicals, such as photosynthesis, mineral metabolism, etc., are closely related to the growth environment, especially soil types [1,5,6]. Variations in plant growth status and chemical composition content are evidence that plants could be affected by environmental conditions such as soil.…”

Zanthoxylum armatum (Z. armatum) is an economic crop widely planted for both spice and medicinal purposes in Southwest China. Soil is a key environmental condition that affects seedling growth and development, and screening suitable soil types is of great significance for the large-scale cultivation of crops. This study designed growth experiments of Z. armatum seedlings in red soil (RS), yellow soil (YS), acidic purple soil (ACPS), alkaline purple soil (ALPS), and alluvial soil (AS)to screen for more suitable soil types. The growth traits of Z. armatum seedlings and the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), C:N:P stoichiometry, and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) content of different organs were comparatively analyzed. The results showed that the morphological indexes of Z. armatum seedlings cultured in AS were better than those in the other four soils.AS and RS may be beneficial for the culture of Z. armatum seedlings due to higher nutrient levels in three organs. Two-factor ANOVA and PCA analysis showed that C, N, and P and their proportions would affect the uptake and distribution of NSC in various organs of Z. armatum seedlings. These results showed that soil types and plant organs significantly affected the accumulation and distribution of N, P, and NSC in Z. armatum seedlings. These results are conducive to screening soil types suitable for the growth and development of Z. armatum and provide data support for further large-scale cultivation of Z. armatum in suitable areas.
