The results showed that the correlations between the morphological parameters and the population density in the vegetal period were not obvious, while those in the reproductive period were obvious. In the reproductive period, the relationships of the population density(X) with the leaf number(Y1)、leaf length(Y2)、leaf breadth(Y3)、fresh weight(Y4)、root weight(Y5)、spike number(Y6)、spike length(Y7)、flower number(Y8)、spike weight(Y9) and spike weight/vegetal weight(Y10) followed:Y1=22.0428-2.3022lnX, Y2=21.4185+2.1828lnX, Y3=4.9934-0.5048lnX, Y4=0.1567+699.574/X, Y5=7.7310X-0.7606, Y6=0.9019+318.886/X, Y7=2.4236+179.425/X, Y8=46.3069+6914.07/X, Y9=0.1382+15.9598/X and Y10=0.047+0.0002X. The density dependences of Plantago virginica and Plantago asiatica were also compared. %U https://bbr.nefu.edu.cn/EN/abstract/article_2703.shtml
