Phenotypic plasticity of two invasive alien plant species inside a deciduous forest in a strict nature reserve in Italy

ABSTRACT

Invasive alien plant species (IAPs) represent one of the main biological threats to biodiversity worldwide. Information about their phenotypic plasticity are needed to increase awareness about their future invasive potential. A study about phenotypic plasticity in response to contrasting light regimes and its quantification by a plasticity index (PI) of two IAPs (Ailanthus altissima and Robinia pseudoacacia) inside a Strict Nature Reserve was conducted. R. pseudoacacia showed a 70% higher PI, with a strongly greater value at morphological leaf level, associated with a greater ability to survive and grow in forest understory, explaining its greater widespread. Otherwise, A. altissima showed its highest PI at physiological level, which was associated with the ability to colonize and grow in environments with high-light regimes. Based on these results, the conservative management has limited the presence of A. altissima by its lower ability to grow in forest understory. In fact, the small-scale gaps in the forest infrastructure, that could allow its recruitment, are originated only from the death of a single tree or small group of trees. Regarding R. pseudoacacia, it is critical to maintain this type of management because any disturbances resulting in large openings could further promote its presence inside the Reserve.

高寒丘陵区不同退耕年限人工林形质评价

基于时空互代法研究不同退耕年限对青海东部人工林形质的影响，为高寒丘陵区人工林经营及多功能利用提供理论依据。在青海东部西宁市大通县设置青杨、祁连圆柏、青海云杉和华北落叶松典型人工林试验样地，开展退耕年限10、20 a和30 a样地调查。以生长情况、侧枝情况和土壤养分情况作为退耕还林林木形质评价指标，运用层次分析法构建林木形质的评价体系，对4种人工林林木形质进行综合评价。干形情况对林木形质的影响最大，贡献率占0.603；生长情况对其影响次之，贡献率占0.337；侧枝情况对其影响较小，贡献率仅占0.060；16个评价指标在林木形质评价中的权重大小依次为健康情况(0.674 9)＞自然整枝能力(0.598 8)＞土壤有机质(0.578 7)＞通直度(0.526 5)＞分杈情况(0.348 0)＞土壤K(0.232 5)＞侧枝平均基径(0.202 7)＞胸径年均生长量(0.176 9)＞枝粗指数(0.150 6)＞土壤N(0.139 2)＞树高平均生长量(0.107 6)＞高径比(0.071 5)＞尖削度(0.054 0)＞土壤P(0.049 6)＞侧枝数(0.047 9)＞冠径比(0.040 7)；综合评价得分依次为青杨(81.67)>华北落叶松(80)>青海云杉(75)>祁连圆柏(60)。森林生态系统通过自我调节,其发育呈正向演替。高寒丘陵区人工林形质随退耕恢复年限增加呈先增加后减少趋势。前期造林(10 a)可迅速提高林地盖度；发育至20 a时，林地林木形质最优；退耕30 a，林下光照减少，下层出现竞争缺光,影响林地涵养水分功能发挥，影响林木形质。以层次分析法建立的林木形质评价体系可为高寒丘陵区人工林经营及多功能利用提供依据，为其他树种形质评价提供借鉴。

炭化条件对竹原纤维炭孔隙结构的影响分析

为研究炭化竹原纤维的特性,进一步提升竹原纤维的使用性能,拓宽竹原纤维的应用领域,采用可控电炉制备了不同炭化温度和不同保温时间条件下的炭化竹原纤维,利用全自动比表面积及孔隙度分析仪测试了炭化竹原纤维的比表面积、比孔容及平均孔径,探讨了炭化条件对其性能的影响。结果表明：随炭化温度的升高和保温时间的延长,炭化竹原纤维的比表面积、比孔容和孔径分布先增大后减小,在较优的工艺条件下,炭化竹原纤维的比表面积和比孔容最大值分别可达819.35m2/g和0.7358cm3/g,平均孔径最小可达2.0836nm。

Density responses and spatial distribution of cotton yield and yield components in jujube (Zizyphus jujube)/cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) agroforestry

Trees are the dominant species in agroforestry systems, profoundly affecting the performance of understory crops. Proximity to trees is a key factor in crop performance, but rather little information is available on the spatial distribution of yield and yield components of crop species under the influence of trees in agroforestry systems. Also, little information is available on how crop density may be exploited to optimize the yield in such systems. Here we studied the performance of cotton in jujube/cotton agroforestry. Field experiments were conducted in 2012 and 2013 in Hetian, Xinjiang, China. Cotton was grown at a row distance of 60 cm in three densities, 13.5, 18.0 and 22.5 plants m⁻² in six m wide paths between tree lines in a jujube plantation. Plant density affected both cotton aboveground dry matter and yield significantly. The highest yield was attained at the intermediate density of 18.0 plants m⁻² (20.0 plants m⁻² corresponding in sole cotton), lower than the optimal density in sole cotton (25.0 plants m⁻²). Yield at the lower density was constrained by the low number of bolls per m² as a direct consequence of the low density, whereas at the high plant density yield was constrained by a lower allocation of assimilates to cotton seed and lint, as a consequence of intraspecific and interspecific competitions. There were strong gradients in yield and yield components in relation to the distance from the tree rows. Leaf area and total dry matter of cotton in rows close to the tree lines were reduced, especially in the rows next to the trees. Moreover, biomass allocation to cotton fruits was reduced in these rows. Competitive influences from the trees on cotton performance extended two rows deep in a six-year old jujube stand, and even three rows deep in a seven-year old stand. Shading effects on cotton yield were compensated by increasing plant density as a result of greater boll numbers per unit ground area. Data from this study help guide the design of optimal plant density of cotton in jujube plantations and give insight in the spatial distribution and dynamics of competitive effects in agroforestry systems in general.
