Density Effect

The sex expression of gametophytes of Matteuccia struthiopteris (L.) Todaro was compared in nature and in culture. Plants raised from multispore cultures (100 spores/cm2) exhibited the most variety in sexual–morphological types. Individually raised plants were slower to develop and showed less variety of sexual types than was found in the multispore cultures. There appeared to be a density effect on development. Field-collected gametophytes showed the least diversity, the populations being largely composed of poorly developed male and neuter plants. The experimental and field data are considered in relation to antheridiogen and population density studies.

This article examines the density effect and the optimum density of the urban population using panel data from China’s 284 cities from 2006 to 2010. Considering the endogeneity problem from the employment density in the density effect, we employ the density of the public transport passenger volume instead, and we control the size effect and the structure effect to obtain more reasonable results. Our results indicate that, using the dependent variables of product per labour and wage, the density effect shows an inverted U shape. Further study shows that the optimum urban population density gauged by the total urban population divided by the built-up area is approximately 13,000 people per km2 for the prefecture-level cities in China. The results are robust. Based on the concept and value of the optimum urban population density, China has a huge potential urban land use capacity of approximately 28% of total built-up area. China’s expansion of the city built-up area and the process of population urbanisation should be coordinated by the optimum urban population density.
