The effect of dwarf bamboo Fargesia nitida on the regeneration and on the dynamics of the dominant population in subalpine dark coniferous forest, Abies faxoniana, were analyzed in different environments of the dwarf bamboo. Three different environments of dwarf bamboo, including high density of bamboo (30-50 plants/m²) (HB), low density of bamboo (10-15 plants/m²) (LB) and without bamboo (WB), were found in the experiment site. The initial A.faxoniana population was classified into three categories : seedling (H<33cm), sapling (H≥33cm, D<2.5cm), and small tree (2.5cm≤D<7.5cm). In each stand, height, diameter at breast height (for saplings lower than 150 cm, the basal diameter was measured), and diameter of crown of each A.faxoniana were determined in all 5 m×5 m plots. For seedlings, only height and number were noted. We had got 103 plots in total: 38 in LB, 35 in HB and 30 in WB. It’s hard to discuss the dynamics of A.faxoniana population in HB because of low number of individuals. Therefore three static life tables of A.faxoniana population at initial stage including LB, WB and all stands were worked out. The curves of their survival rate, mortality rate, disappearance rate and survival function were drawn to analyze the population dynamics. Parallel, at least three A.faxoniana individuals were obtained from each size class (0.1-0.3 cm, 0.3-0.6 cm, 0.6-0.9 cm and 0.9-1.1cm) in three densities of bamboo (HB, LB and WB) to analyze the biomass allocation pattern. The results were as follows: in all stands, the survival curve of the A.faxoniana initial population appeared to be a type of Deevey-Ⅲ with an abundant seedling bank, high mortality rate in sapling stage and a higher life expectancy in small tree stage. The A.faxoniana initial population appeared to be a type of Deevey-Ⅱ in LB, and a type of Deevey-Ⅲ in WB. There was a larger seedling bank but much lower mortality rate of seedlings in WB than those in LB. The curve of disappearance rate reached two peaks at the stage of seedling and small tree in LB, but just one at the stage of sapling in WB. During the stage from seedling to sapling, the number of A.faxoniana individuals was always larger in WB than those in LB, and it’s reversed in the late stage of sapling. Both of the leaf weight ratio and the allometry (height / basal diameter) increased in HB. Our work shows that the A.faxoniana seedling establishment is prohibited intensively by a dense population of F.nitida, but the effect of low density of F.nitida may be two-sided.
