Abstract:The caloric values changing with seasons of five dominant species for the tree layer in the south subtropical evergreen broadleaved forest in Heishiding Nature Reserve,were determined using the GR3500 type bomb calorimeter.The results are as follows.The gross caloric values and the ashfree caloric values of various organs changed among dominant species.For the same species,the gross caloric values altered greatly,resulting from ash contents of different organs.The gross caloric values of different organs...
