Why do bamboos die after flowering? Why does bamboo die after flowering?

Bamboo is a perennial lignified plant with above-ground stems (bamboo poles) and underground stems (bamboo whips). Normally, the nutrients produced by bamboo leaves are used to make the bamboo poles grow taller, thicker, longer branches and leaves, and longer roots, and the excess nutrients are transported to the bamboo whip.

The buds on the bamboo whip germinate, gradually hypertrophied in the soil, and unyieldingly upward, after unearthed, it is a fresh and tender bamboo shoot.

When it grows up, it turns into lush bamboo. Bamboo generally lives for more than ten years or decades before flowering and setting seeds. However, if there is a special adverse environment, such as abnormal drought, severe pests and diseases, or nutritional deficiencies, bamboo will also bloom early.

When bamboo blooms, all the nutrients produced by bamboo leaves are used to flower and set seeds.

Bamboo pours everything it has, concentrating all the essence into the seeds. After flowering and seeding, the nutrients stored in the bamboo are also depleted, and it has also fulfilled its mission.

Got it.

When bamboo grows to a certain age, it will inevitably senescence and blossom and bear fruit before the end of life in order to reproduce offspring.

The flowering of bamboo depletes the nutrients stored in bamboo whips and bamboo poles, and most species, such as moso bamboo and pear bamboo, die in both the aboveground and underground parts after flowering.

A few bamboo species such as spotted bamboo, cinnamon bamboo, and Yazhu bamboo, the aboveground part dies after flowering, while the buds of the underground part can still be rejuvenated and renewed, and there are also individual bamboo species such as water bamboo, flower bamboo, etc., after flowering, the leaves of the plant remain green, and the underground part does not die. However, flower branches should be cut down as soon as possible to reduce nutrient consumption and ensure the normal growth of bamboo forests.

The flowering of plants is a process of breeding offspring, each cycle of a cycle, the plant will bloom once, the growth cycle of each plant is different, some plant growth cycle is very short, some plant growth cycle is very long, the short is all year round, the long is ten years and a hundred years, but there is a plant in nature, it will die immediately after flowering, it is very magical.

Bamboo in nature will wither and die after flowering, and what is more special is that it is not just one or two bamboos that bloom alone, as long as the bamboo blooms, it is a large piece of bamboo that blooms together and dies together, which is an unexplainable thing.

Why don't bamboo blossom in a single few and die together in a large area?

It is difficult for a single tree to become a forest, but a single bamboo can become a forest, the root system of bamboo is linked together, a bamboo can grow into a large piece of bamboo in just a few years, in fact, imagine bamboo as a tree, you can explain why a large area will bloom together and wither. This poem is the best explanation.

The flowering of bamboo may be affected by the climate in nature, and the nutrients in the soil are consumed, which can not meet the growth of bamboo, and the bamboo flowers and fruits in order to continue the life of future generations. The growth cycle of bamboo that we see in our daily life is about 60-80 years, and when the bamboo reaches a certain time, it will naturally bloom and die, but this is not an accurate answer.

The old people in the countryside say that "bamboo blooms, move quickly", indicating that there was a phenomenon of bamboo blooming a long time ago, and this sentence is not unreasonable.

There is a record that in the era of the last century, in China's Sichuan, is also a place rich in giant pandas, there is a bamboo forest, in one night at the same time all bloomed, the green bamboo forest turned yellow, starved to death hundreds of giant pandas, at the same time "rats" flooded, bamboo flowering after the "bamboo rice" was eaten by a large number of rats, food sufficient rats Dachun guess the amount of reproduction, local crops were also implicated.

The phenomena in nature are unexplainable, in Southeast Asia, the frequency of bamboo flowering is higher, there will be such a time every few years, the local ecology is still very balanced, bamboo flowering, moving quickly is a proverb, it is a natural phenomenon, to put it more clearly, in fact, human beings are afraid of nature, unscrupulously destroying nature, afraid of nature's backlash.
