Nutrient changes in potting mix and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus nitens</Emphasis> leaf tissue under macadamia biochar amendments

The effect of macadamia nut shell biochar on nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sodium concentrations in potting mix used to grow Eucalyptus nitens seedlings was investigated in a glasshouse experiment. The treatments combined two fertiliser rates (50 and 100% rate of the commercial mix commonly used in forestry nurseries) with eight biochar rates (0, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 80 and 100 t ha^?1) arranged in a randomised complete block with three replicates of four sample plants. Nutrients were quantified in the potting mix and seedling leaves at four destructive harvests 135, 177, 219 and 269 days after planting. Biochar significantly increased nitrate-N, Colwell P, Colwell K and exchangeable Na and reduced ammonium-N, Mg and Ca concentrations in the potting mix. Seedling leaf concentrations of P, K and Na were increased by biochar application, while N remained dependent on fertiliser rate only. Mg and Ca leaf concentrations decreased in response to increasing biochar rates. Elevated nitrate-N and decreased ammonium-N concentrations suggest that biochar might have increased nitrification in the potting mix. We presumed that biochar mediated processes that reduced uptake of P and K when high doses of biochar were combined with full fertilisation. Changes in potting mix K, Na, Mg and Ca were consistent with selective adsorption of ions to biochar surfaces.

印度西部5种热带干落叶林中凋落物中生物元素和返回到绿叶中的季节性变化(英文)

本文对印度西部5种热带干落叶林中凋落物里生物元素的季节性变化和它们返回到新鲜叶中季节性变化进行研究。对5个树种:阿拉伯金合欢(Acacia nilotica L.)、金合欢(Acacia leucophloea Roxb.)、柚木(Tectonagrandis L.f.)、绒毛野独活(Miliusa tomentosa Roxb.)和紫矿(Butea mono-sperma Lain.)中凋落物的成熟叶、枝和再生部分的N、P、Ca、Mg、K和Na的浓度,以及老叶和幼叶中浓度间的关系进行调查。对这些树种的总干物质进行记录,并分析它们所含的N、P、Ca、Mg、K和Na的含量。其中阿拉伯金合欢叶子中N的含量最高,而金合欢的叶子里Ca和Mg含量最高。叶中含P最多的是阿托伯金合欢、金合欢和紫矿,而含P最少的是柚木和绒毛野独活。K和Na含量在这些树种中没有明显的区别。观察发现,N、P和K的浓度随季节变化大,但Ca和Mg则不然。唯有钾在所有树种中都是最稳定的,吸收N和P可以用于来年新叶的生长。从老叶和凋落物中吸收的营养会支持新叶的生长,并增加土壤的肥力。图1表4参30。     

不同林龄樟子松叶片养分含量及其再吸收效率

树木叶片的养分再吸收效率能够反映树木对养分保存、利用以及对养分贫瘠环境的适应能力。以科尔沁沙地东南缘章古台地区樟子松人工林为研究对象,分析了11、20、29、45年生树木叶片的基本特征、养分含量及其再吸收效率。结果表明:叶片衰老后其质量和面积明显减少;叶片凋落前的平均养分含量没有表现出随樟子松年龄增加而出现有规律的变化;凋落叶片中的N、P、K、Mg含量表现出随年龄增加而增加的趋势,而Ca的趋势与之相反;11年生和20年生的樟子松叶片N、P、K的再吸收效率相似,都显著高于29年生和45年生樟子松(P<0.05),而樟子松叶片对Mg的再吸收效率表现出随年龄增大而显著降低,Ca随叶片的衰老而不断累积,再吸收效率表现为负值,20年生的樟子松叶片Ca再吸收效率最大,11年生和45年生最低。樟子松叶片的N、P、K、Mg养分再吸收效率随年龄增加而降低的趋势表明,随年龄增加樟子松对贫瘠养分生境的适应能力逐渐降低,反映了樟子松养分保存方面的衰退特征。     

Genotypic Variation in Nutrient Selectivity in Populus under NaCl Stress

We used a salt-resistant poplar genotype Populus euphratica and two salt-sensitive genotypes, Populus 'popularis 35-44' (P. popularis) and the hybrid P. talassica Kom x (P. euphratica + Salix alba L.) to examine genotypic differences in nutrient selectivity under NaCl stress. One-year-old seedlings of P. euphratica and one-year-old hardwood cuttings of P. popularis were used in a short-term study (24 hours), while in a long-term study, up to 4 weeks, two-year-old seedlings of P. euphratica and the hybrid P. talassica Kom x (P. euphratica + Salix alba L.) were compared. In the short-term study, K+ concentration in the xylem sap ([K+]xylem) of P. euphratica significantly increased after salt stress was initiated, and maintained 1-2 fold higher than control levels during the period of salt stress (24 hours). Xylem Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations ([Ca2+]xylem, [Mg2+]xylem) in P. euphratica resembled the pattern of K+ despite a lesser magnitude in elevation. However, [K+]xylem, [Ca2+]xylem and [Mg2+]xylem in P.     

Leaf litterfall concentrations and fluxes of elements in deciduous tree species

The influence of tree species and soil properties on leaf litterfall concentrations and fluxes of elements were studied in three mixed deciduous forest stands. Leaf litterfall fluxes of sixteen elements were measured during autumn defoliation in 100 to 150 yr old individuals of Fagus sylvatica L., Quercus robur L., Carpinus betulus L., Tilia cordata Mill, and Acer platanoides L. Compared to throughfall and precipitation, leaf litterfall dominated the flux of P, Ca, Mn, N and Mg (in decreasing order) to the soil below the tree canopies. For K and especially S and Na, however, the importance of leaf litterfall input to the total fluxes was small. Fluxes and especially concentrations of Ca, Mg, K, P and partly N were positively related to base saturation of the soil, while Mn was negatively related due to a higher mobilization rate and plant uptake of this element on acid soils. Litterfall fluxes for C. betulus were strongly positively influenced by base saturation and fluxes were usually higher than for F. sylvatica and Q. robur at the richest site. Quercus robur had often the lowest fluxes, especially of Ca and Mg. Tilia cordata had the highest leaf litter concentrations in twelve of the sixteen elements, and the highest fluxes particularly of N and K. Acer platanoides had the highest or among the highest concentrations and fluxes of Ca, Zn and Mn. The concentration of Al in C. betulus leaf litterfall, was about five times higher than in all other tree species at all sites.     

Biomass,decomposition and nutrient release of Vaccinium myrtillus leaf litter in four forest stands

Biomass and nutrient transfer (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) leaf litter fall, as well as decomposition and nutrient release, were studied in four mature forest stands situated in Central and South Sweden. Bilberry leaf litter fall amounted to between 33 and 55 kg ha^‐1 yr^‐1 in the four stands. Only minor differences between sites were noted for litter concentrations of N, P and Ca, whereas K and Mg showed somewhat larger variability. Relative amounts of the five nutrient elements in the litter fall were generally in the order N > Ca > K > Mg > P. The amounts of nutrients returned to the forest floor by the annual leaf litter fall in the stands ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 kg ha^‐1 for N, 0.4 to 0.6 kg ha^‐1 for Ca, 0.2 to 0.7 kg ha^‐1 for K, 0.1 to 0.2 kg ha^‐1 for Mg and 0.04 to 0.08 kg ha^‐1 for P.

The decomposition of the local bilberry leaf litter was followed by means of litterbags during three years. At all sites there was an extremely rapid mass loss from the litter (between 45% and 54%) during the first four to five months of decomposition. After this initial phase, the decomposition rates decreased markedly and after three years the accumulated mass losses of the litters varied between 64% and 78% at the studied sites. After two and three years of decomposition, three of the sites exhibited almost similar litter mass losses whereas at the fourth site the litter was decomposed to a significantly lower degree. The pattern of nutrient release from the decomposing bilberry leaf litter differed somewhat from site to site. Minor differences were, however, noted for P, Ca and Mg while N and K were more strongly retained in the litter at one of the sites.     

不同土壤水分含量下落羽杉根、茎、叶营养水平的差异

应用温室盆栽试验方法,采用完全随机试验设计,研究了土壤水分含量对1年生落羽杉实生苗的营养吸收及分配的影响。试验共有5种处理,即W1(淹水,水深为土壤表面以上5cm)、W2(渍水,水面与土面保持水平)、W3、W4、W5(土壤含水量分别为土壤田间持水量的75%、50%和25%),处理时间为130d。研究结果表明:(1)随着土壤水分含量的减少,落羽杉根、茎和叶中全N质量浓度均逐渐升高,根、茎、叶中全P质量浓度则又先升高后下降的趋势,以W3水分处理最高,根、茎和叶中全Ca、全K、全Na、全Mg、全Fe质量浓度则有不同的变化趋势;(2)所有处理根、茎、叶中全Fe、全N、全P、全Mg、全Na、全Ca、全K质量浓度大小的顺序为叶>根>茎;(3)随着土壤水分含量的减少,落羽杉对各种营养元素的吸收累积量减少,分配到根和茎中的比例增加,分配到叶中的比例逐渐减少。     

Nutrient content of standing crop and biological cycling in Pinus patula ecosystem

Nutrient contents were estimated in different components of Pinus patula trees growing in six stands ranging from 8 to 34 years of age in the Darjeeling hills, India. The highest concentrations of most nutrients were found in the leaves but the maximum nutrient pool was contained in the bole which accounted for about 58 to 85% of the total aerial contents of different elements. Among the nutrients, N concentration (2.2%) was the highest, followed by Ca Mg K P Na. Nutrient contents in the standing crop increased with stand age and were nearly 2102 kg Ca, 1911 kg N, 875 kg Mg, 478 kg K, 285 kg P and 82 kg Na per ha in above-ground biomass of the 34-year-old stand. The annual uptake of N is highest but its accumulation in the standing stock is lower than that of Ca in the 34-year-old stand. The uptake and storage of Mg closely resembled those of K. Nutrient return and release were also determined to establish biological cycling in the 34-year-old P. patula ecosystem. Litter is resistent to decay and the forest floor retained a very rich nutrient store over the mineral soil. Turnover rates and times for nutrient fluxes showed the higher efficiency of the return pathway and the greater stability of the soil pool.

Relationships between soil and foliar nutrients in young densely planted mini-plots of Pinus radiata and Cupressus lusitanica

The long-term nature of forest crop rotations makes it difficult to determine impacts of forestry on soil nutrients that might be depleted by forest growth. We used small scale, highly stocked plots to compress the length of the rotation and rapidly induce nutrient depletion. In the study, two species (Pinus radiata D. Don and Cupressus lusitanica Miller) are compared under two disturbance regimes (soil undisturbed and compacted), and two fertiliser treatments (nil and plus fertiliser), applied in factorial combination at 33 sites, covering the range of climatic and edaphic variation found in plantation forests across New Zealand. To assess our ability to rapidly highlight important soil properties, foliar nutrient concentrations were determined 20 months after planting. It was hypothesised that the densely planted plots, even at a young age, would create sufficient pressure on nutrient resources to allow development of relationships between properties used as indicies of soil nutrient availability and foliar nutrient concentrations. For both species significant relationships between foliar nutrients and 0–10 cm layer soil properties from unfertilised plots were evident for N (total and mineralisable N) and P (total, acid extractable, organic, Bray-2 and Olsen P). With the exception of Ca in C. lusitanica, foliar K, Ca and Mg were correlated with their respective soil exchangeable cation measures. The results thus confirm the utility of the experimental approach and the relevance of the measured soil properties for forest productivity.

In unfertilised plots foliar N and P concentrations in P. radiata exceeded those in C. lusitanica, the differences being eliminated by fertiliser application. Foliar N/P ratios in P. radiata also exceeded those in C. lusitanica. In contrast to N and P, foliar K, Ca and Mg concentrations were all higher in C. lusitanica, the difference being particularly marked for Ca and Mg. P. radiata contained substantially higher concentrations of the metals Zn, Mn and Al than C. lusitanica, whereas the latter contained higher B concentrations. Possible reasons for differences between species in foliar nutrient concentrations are discussed.     

南岭自然保护区常绿阔叶林优势树种叶片中11种化学元素含量特征

为探讨南岭自然保护区常绿阔叶林优势树种叶片营养特征及重金属含量水平,测定了保护区16个优势树种叶片中N、P、K、Ca、Al、Na、Mg、Mn、Ni、Cu和Pb共11种化学元素的含量,并分析了其在叶片中的变异特征和相关性。结果表明：该地区植物叶片N、P含量均低于我国陆生植物叶片含量的平均值,叶片Ca、K、Mg含量处于陆地植物叶片的正常范围,叶片Mn含量与广东植物叶片含量接近;16个优势树种叶片重金属含量均处于正常范围;南岭自然保护区优势树种受P限制强烈;尽管16个优势树种叶片暂未受到重金属和Al毒危害,但因华南地区酸沉降引发土壤重金属活化的风险仍存在,应加强对该地区森林土壤化学性质和树木叶片化学元素含量的定期监测研究。     

Changes in respiration and chemical content during autumnal senescence of Populus tremuloides and Quercus rubra leaves

Changes in respiration rate, chemical content and chemical concentration were measured in leaves of field-grown Populus tremuloides Michx. and Quercus rubra L. trees throughout the growing season and autumnal senescence. Chlorophyll, soluble sugar, N, P, K and Mg contents and concentrations all declined during leaf senescence, whereas Ca content and concentration increased. Leaf dry mass per area declined 24 and 35% in P. tremuloides and Q. rubra, respectively, during senescence. In leaves of both species, respiration rates peaked during leaf expansion in the spring and then declined, as a result of reduced cytochrome-mediated respiration, to reach relatively constant rates by midsummer. In senescing P. tremuloides leaves, respiration rates remained relatively constant until mid-October and then declined rapidly. In senescing Q. rubra leaves, respiration rates increased in late September, as a result of the appearance of residual respiration that could not be reduced by respiratory inhibitors, and then declined quickly in early November. No changes in alternative pathway respiratory activity were observed in leaves of either species during senescence until late autumn when rates declined. Because respiration rates were correlated with both leaf sugar and nitrogen content during leaf senescence, we conclude that respiration rates were maintained or increased during leaf senescence to supply energy for degradation and mobilization of chemical constituents.     

Impact of harvest residues,fertilisers and N-fixing plants on growth and nutritional status of young <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus globulus</Emphasis> plantations,under Mediterranean conditions

Growth and nutritional status of young plants of Eucalyptus were assessed in a field trial, under different scenarios of harvest residue management and nutrient availability. Treatments were as follows: incorporation of harvest residues into the soil by harrowing (I); I with N fertiliser application (IF); I with leguminous, Lupinus luteus L., seeding (IL); removal of harvest residues (R); R with N fertiliser application (RF); R with leguminous seeding (RL); distribution of harvest residues on the soil surface (S); S with N fertiliser application (SF). Treatments were replicated four times in four blocks with a fully randomised design. Tree growth (height and diameter at breast height) was measured and understory biomass destructively recorded. Tree nutritional status was assessed by foliar analysis (N, Ca, Mg, P, K and leaf area). Significant differences in growth between I, R and S treatments were only detected at early stage. Intercropping with Lupinus decreased tree growth during the early phase, but after 5 years growth was similar to that measured in the I and R treatments. Application of fertiliser enhanced tree growth especially when harvest residues were retained on the soil surface. Combining incorporation of harvest residues with fertiliser application (IF) was the best option to increase tree growth, which was significantly greater than in the R and S. Initially, leaf N was positively affected by the leguminous (RL and IL), but, after the first fertiliser application (1 year after planting), greater N was observed in the IF, RF and SF, the difference decreasing gradually over the following years.     

Leaf morphology and chemistry in Fagus sylvatica (beech) trees as affected by site factors and ozone: results from CONECOFOR permanent monitoring plots in Italy

During summer 2001, leaf samples were collected from seven beech stands that are part of the Italian network of permanent monitoring plots (CONECOFOR). In each plot, sun leaves from the upper crown were collected from five trees and subjected to chemical analysis (C, N, P, S, K, Ca and Mg) and morphological analysis (area, dry mass, thickness and thickness of individual tissues). Based on the measurements, nutrient ratios (N/C, N/K, N/P, N/Ca, N/Mg, K/Ca, Mg/Ca), sclerophylly indices (leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf density (LD)) and nitrogen content per leaf area unit (NLA) were determined. Stomatal density was also measured. Among stands, leaf area was smallest and sclerophylly (indicated as LMA) was greatest in the southernmost stands and under drought conditions. Reduced leaf area and increased LMA also appeared to be strongly related to tropospheric ozone concentrations, whereas crown transparency was related mainly to site factors such as rainfall and temperature and, to a lesser extent, ozone concentration. The southernmost stands had a lower N/C ratio than the more northern stands, suggesting that the apoplastic fraction of cells within the leaf played a greater role. In the northern stands (especially at Lombardy and in Piedmont) where ozone concentrations were high, nutrient ratios were unbalanced and the high value of LMA appeared to be related primarily to the contribution of plasmatic components. Overall, leaf morphology was most sensitive to climate stress at the southern plots and to environmental pollution (nitrogen deposition and tropospheric ozone concentration) at some of the northern plots.

Leaf nutrition and photosynthetic performance of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) in stands with contrasting health conditions

Leaf nutrition and photosynthetic performance of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) were compared between two sugar maple stands in northwestern Vermont with contrasting health conditions as indicated by annual basal area growth, degree of crown dieback, and foliar appearance. Observations made during the diurnal cycle of both stands showed no apparent leaf water stress. In both stands, leaves had similar concentrations of major non-structural carbohydrates (starch and sucrose). Over two consecutive growing seasons (1991 and 1992), we consistently observed lower leaf Ca and Mg concentrations in the declining stand than in the healthy stand. Compared with the healthy stand, lower leaf chlorophyll concentrations and apparent leaf chlorosis were observed in the declining stand, and some trees had very low foliar Ca and Mg concentrations (0.31 +/- 0.03% and 0.09 +/- 0.01%, respectively). Trees in the declining stand had lower light-saturated net photosynthetic rates on a dry mass basis at both ambient CO(2) (P(n,amb)) and saturating CO(2) (P(n,sat)) than trees in the healthy stand. There were significant linear correlations between P(n,amb) and leaf mass per unit area (LMA) and between P(n,sat) per unit leaf area and LMA. There were also linear correlations between both P(n,amb) and P(n,sat) and leaf N when expressed on an area basis in both stands, indicating that variation in LMA may have been largely responsible for the observed photosynthesis-nitrogen relationship. The values of P(n,amb) and P(n,sat) were not significantly correlated with leaf N on a mass basis but were weakly correlated with leaf Ca and Mg on a mass basis. We conclude that low leaf Ca or Mg concentrations may limit leaf CO(2) assimilation and tree carbohydrate status in the declining stand.     

Influence of Armillaria root rot on the foliar nutrients and growth of some coniferous species

Armillaria root rot induces a reduction in the concentrations of N, P, K, Mg and Na; an increase in the levels of Ca, Mn, Fe and Zn; and a decrease in the annual height growth of the diseased trees of four coniferous species. The data indicates that these changes are caused by interferences in the metabolism of the infected host.     

Influence of sheep grazing on soil chemical properties and growth of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) in Malaysia

In a rubber estate in Kelantan, Malaysia, sheep grazing increased N, P, Ca and Mg levels and soil pH. Foliar N, P, Ca, Mg and Na also increased with grazing, but K decreased. The girth of rubber trees under grazing had a higher increment than in the ungrazed areas.
