A Review of Relationship Between Rattan and Water

The importance of water on rattan is described in the paper. Up to date, some researches have witnessed that rain determines the distribution and the number of species of rattan in wild, and is helpful to dispersal of rattan seeds with slope. Rattan plays a role in intercepting the splash effect of rain and improves the water-holding capacity of soil. The viability of rattan seed decreases quickly with the decrease of water content of seeds, hence to reduce the germination rate of seeds. With enough water, rattan grows more quickly in terms of le af, leaf area, and stem. Water stress improves the ratio of root to shoot of rattan, and humidity plays a role in the distribution and growth of rattan.
