ABSTRACT
In a mixed forest, certain plants can release allelochemicals that exert allelopathic effects on neighboring plants, thereby facilitating interspecific coexistence of two species. Previous studies have demonstrated that allelochemicals released from Ficus carica Linn. roots in mixed forest of F. carica and Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc. has phase characteristics over time, which can improve the soil physicochemical properties, enzyme activity and microbial diversity, thus promoting the growth of T. cuspidata. Based on the irrigation of exogenous allelochemicals, changes in soil fertility (soil physical and chemical properties, soil enzyme activity and soil microelement content) were observed in response to variations in allelochemicals during five phases of irrigation initial disturbance phase (0-2 d), physiological compensation phase (2-8 d), screening phase (8-16 d), restore phase (16-32 d) and maturity phase (32-64 d), which was consistent with the response of soil microorganisms. The allelopathic response of growth physiological indexes of T. cuspidata, however, exhibited a slight lag behind the soil fertility, with distinct phase characteristics becoming evident on the 4th day following irrigation of allelochemicals. The findings demonstrated that the allelochemicals released by the root of F. carica induced a synergistic effect on soil fertility and microorganisms, thereby facilitating the growth of T. cuspidata. This study provides a comprehensive elucidation of the phased dynamic response-based allelopathic mechanism employed by F. carica to enhance the growth of T. cuspidata, thus establishing a theoretical basis for optimizing forest cultivation through allelopathic pathways.
