水分和温度对紫茎泽兰幼苗生长的影响

比较2个水分和3个温度梯度条件下,中国和墨西哥两种群紫茎泽兰（Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng）的形态、生物量分配和光合色素的可塑性反应,探讨两种群在幼苗阶段生长特点及入侵潜力。结果表明：（1）各温度水分处理下墨西哥种群株高、叶片数、总叶面积、总生物量、叶生物量比、叶根比、总叶绿素较高,中国种群根长、根生物量、根冠比较高。表明墨西哥种群在适宜的环境条件下比中国种群有更高的资源捕获能力,而中国种群对干旱和低温条件有更好的适应能力。（2）两种群紫茎泽兰对水分响应显著,100%水分下总叶面积、平均叶面积、总生物量、叶生物量比、叶面积比、叶根比、总叶绿素均高于50%水分条件。对温度响应显著,尤其20℃时,中国种群根长,墨西哥种群总叶面积,100%水分下平均叶面积、总生物量、叶生物量比、叶根比5,0%水分下根生物量比,均达最高值。两种群喜湿润的环境,温度20℃时生长较好。     

荒漠河岸林地区胡杨幼苗根系水力提升作用探究

植物水力提升作用是指低蒸腾条件下处于湿润区域根系吸水后运输到干燥区,并将水分释放到根际周围的干土中的现象。通过上下层分根试验法,研究生长季胡杨幼苗的根系提水作用。结果表明：① 与成年胡杨相似,胡杨幼苗根系存在水力提升作用;② 幼苗的水力提升作用发生在21:00 时至次日6:00时 ,生长季3株胡杨幼苗的总提水量分别为2.78 kg,2.31 kg和2.46 kg,日均提水量为0.022 6 kg,0.018 7 kg和0.02 0 kg;③ 3株胡杨幼苗的日均提水量占上层土壤蒸发量的13%~20%,在植物蒸腾作用明显的7~8月,日均提水量也较大;④ 下层土壤的根系生物量和提水量相关性显著。     

燃煤烟气脱硫镁渣对沙冬青种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

采用室内光照培养法（光温自动控制的光照培养箱）,研究沙质土壤中施加燃煤烟气脱硫镁渣（以下简称脱硫镁渣）对沙冬青（Ammopiptanthus mongolicus）种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响。结果表明：脱硫镁渣对种子萌发、幼苗出土和幼苗根系生长有显著的抑制作用;施用脱硫镁渣对幼苗的单株鲜/干重、总生物量及茎生长有显著的促...     

土壤干旱对冬小麦幼苗生长和叶片生理特性的影响

采用盆栽试验对不同土壤干旱下冬小麦幼苗生长和生理特性进行了初步研究。结果表明,幼苗株高、叶面积、叶干重、茎干重、根干重、总生物量、叶水势、叶片相对含水率均随土壤水分的减少而呈降低趋势;根冠比、叶片水分饱和亏、可溶性糖含量、脯氨酸含量、质膜透性、MDA含量以及叶片SOD、POD活性均呈增加趋势。这说明,在干旱胁迫下,冬小麦幼苗一方面通过改变生物量分配策略,较多地提高根比重,以利于根系吸水增加抗旱性;另一方面,通过改变叶片的生理特性以提高抗旱性。     

骆驼刺叶形态和荧光参数对光照的响应

以塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲-荒漠过渡带防护林下的骆驼刺和自然光照下的骆驼刺为研究对象,研究不同光照环境下骆驼刺地上生物量分配、叶片形态特征、叶绿素含量以及叶绿素荧光动力学参数的变化。结果表明:与自然光照下相比,①林下骆驼刺比叶面积较高,而叶片厚度和叶干物质含量较低,地上生物量分配存在显著差异,叶比重升高,同化枝比重降低;②林下骆驼刺的叶绿素a(Chl a)和叶绿素b(Chl b)含量明显较高,叶绿素a/b(Chl a/b)降低;③林下骆驼刺的最大荧光(F_m)、光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)潜在活性(F_v/F_o)、PSⅡ最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)和单位面积反应中心的数量(RC/CS_o)均显著升高,而单位反应中心吸收的能量(ABS/RC)、捕获的能量(TR_o/RC)和耗散的能量(DI_o/RC)低于对照条件下的骆驼刺。在林荫环境下,除了通过改变骆驼刺地上生物量的分配、叶形态特征来响应光照环境的变化外,叶绿素a/b(Chl a/b)比值的变化和PSⅡ光化学效率的提高,反应中心数量的增加也是骆驼刺适应荫蔽环境的重要生理途径。形态和生理上更好的光资源利用和响应特点是骆驼刺适应弱光环境的主要方式。     

半干旱风沙区黄柳幼苗生长发育对沙埋的响应

以科尔沁沙地黄柳(Salix gordejevii)幼苗为研究对象,通过0 cm,10 cm,20 cm和40 cm 4个沙埋处理,研究其生长发育对沙埋的响应。结果表明：随着沙埋深度的增加,黄柳幼苗的死亡率增加,存活率下降。沙埋对黄柳幼苗的株高、相对高度增长率,分配到根、茎、叶的生物量和根冠比有显著影响,对绝对高度增长率和生物量无显著影响。轻度沙埋有利于黄柳幼苗高度增加,随着沙埋深度的增加,株高依然增加,相对高度生长率却下降。轻度沙埋使黄柳幼苗的生物量较多地分配到根,随着沙埋深度的增加,较多的生物量分配给地上部分,根冠比下降。说明黄柳幼苗可通过加快茎的生长或改变生物量的分配等方式维持光合作用能力,增加对沙埋的抵御能力。     

影响丰花草种子萌发和幼苗生长的主要环境因子

运用培养皿滤纸法和盆栽法,分别研究温度、光照和水分条件对热带常见杂草丰花草种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:丰花草种子萌发温度范围广泛(5~40℃),随温度升高,丰花草幼苗的鲜质量和生长长度均呈现先升高后降低的趋势;恒温下30℃为其种子萌发的最适温度,其发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数均相对较高,而平均发芽时间最短;25℃时生长的幼苗最健壮,其芽长、根长和芽鲜质量、根鲜质量均显著高于其他温度时的对应值。而变温条件更有利于丰花草种子萌发,12 h D/12 h L、5℃/15℃时发芽率达55.63%,15℃/25℃时发芽率90%,25℃/35℃时的种子萌发率、幼苗长度、幼苗鲜质量均最大。光照不是影响丰花草种子萌发的关键因子,但光照可能有利于促进丰花草幼苗生物量向根部分配,光暗交替(12 h D/12 h L)条件下丰花草幼苗生长情况相对最好(长度根冠比为1.05∶1;鲜质量根冠比为0.51∶1)。水分是决定丰花草种子能否萌发的关键因素,25℃、12 h D/12 h L条件下,在土壤最大持水量60%时丰花草种子萌发和幼苗生长状况均最佳。     

外来入侵植物豚草构件生物量特征

豚草是一种恶性入侵杂草,为了解其生物量特征及分配规律,探讨其入侵特性,本文从构件水平研究了豚草各构件生物量结构及分配特征和各构件生物量之间的关系模型.结果表明豚草各构件生物量及其分配比率均表现为茎＞花＞叶＞根;豚草各构件生物量之间、各构件生物量与植株大小之间均呈极显著正相关关系,可用线性函数和幂函数模型较好地表达.     

樟子松幼苗水力结构参数和生长特征对模拟降水梯度的响应

水分是影响樟子松生长和存活的关键因素,为弄清樟子松幼苗对水分胁迫的响应过程,采用人工控制降水处理方法 (105%年均降水量：500 mm,无干旱; 74%年均降水量: 350 mm,轻度干旱;42%年均降水量: 200 mm,干旱),监测了2 a生樟子松幼苗水力结构和生长特征对降水处理的响应。结果表明：随着降水量减少,幼苗水分饱和亏缺没有发生显著变化;轻度干旱下幼苗组织密度显著增加,干旱下幼苗失水系数显著降低;表明樟子松幼苗的保水、抗旱能力随干旱胁迫程度增强而增加。干旱胁迫显著降低了株高、基径和各器官生物量的增加量,轻度干旱胁迫下幼苗根重比和根冠比显著增加,表明轻度干旱胁迫改变了生物量分配格局,促使幼苗向有利于水分维持方向的发展策略;与轻度干旱相比,干旱胁迫下幼苗生物量分配策略并没有发生明显变化。樟子松幼苗可以通过改变水力结构特征和生物量分配策略来适应轻度干旱;而在干旱下幼苗仅改变水力结构特征,不利于其在干旱环境下生存。     

三叶鬼针草生长特征对土壤氮素水平的响应

利用温室盆栽试验法,研究入侵植物三叶鬼针草生长特征对不同土壤氮素水平的响应。结果表明,氮素的增加能够促进三叶鬼针草叶片数、总叶面积、分枝数及生物量的增加,提高其相对生长速率。在物质分配方面,氮肥的施用能促进该植物向地上部分分配较多的物质,显著增加生殖器官（花）生物量的投入,降低向地下部分（根）的物质投入。同时,可塑性指数表明,三叶鬼针草在形态、生物量分配及生殖器官等方面对土壤氮素响应的表型可塑性较大。以上结果充分体现了三叶鬼针草具有较强的入侵性和对土壤氮素环境较高的适应性,预警人们对其预防和管理工作应加以重视。     

干旱、盐胁迫条件下两种盐生植物生物量分配对策的研究

以2种一年生盐生草本植物钠猪毛菜、盐生草为试验对象,研究干旱和盐分胁迫对2种盐生植物生长和生物量分配的影响。结果表明:不同程度干旱和盐分胁迫显著影响了2种盐生植物的生长、生物量积累和生物量的分割。生长分析表明:2种盐生植物在生长率、根冠比、叶面积比方面皆存在明显可塑性,且根冠比、叶面积比的变化均受到个体发育漂变的影响;在整个营养生长期的不同处理组中,根冠比、叶面积比总体上呈逐渐降低趋势。不同干旱胁迫处理下2种盐生植物的根冠比和叶面积比的变化与最优理论和模型的预测相一致;随干旱胁迫的加重,根冠比增大而叶面积比减小。但在盐分胁迫条件下,2种盐生植物并未出现基于最优分配理论来调节生物量分配模式,且2种盐生植物根冠比和叶面积比的响应表现出明显的种间差异。此外,不同处理组间植物生物量分配特征(根冠比、叶面积比)的差异,往往只存在于生活史的某一时期,在整个营养生长期间,并不自始至终保持一致。     

Anatomical and morphological characteristics of Populus euphratica in the lower reaches of Tarim River under extreme drought environment

Populus euphratica Oliv.is an old desert tree species that has been naturalized and invades zones along the watercourses in many arid and semiarid regions.The plant species developed some plasticity to adapt to the gradual environmental gradients.The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the changes in leaf morphology of P.euphratica reflect the adaptability of the plant to the unique environment of the lower reaches of Tarim River in China.The foliar architecture,blade epidermal and internal anatomies of P.euphratica were analyzed at different sites along the Tarim River.Compared with the abaxial surface of the leaves,their adaxial surface has more hairs,a greater stomatal density and opening,higher mesophyll proportion,and increased blade thickness,palisade width,and epidermal thickness.The long trichome of the roots found at site 6 in the Yinsu section may be an adapted structure of the plants in arid areas.The mature leaves of P.euphratica have comparatively more epidermis and cuticles,well developed palisades and more chloroplasts at different sites compared to the young leaves.Foliar morphological and anatomical variability in P.euphratica may be considered an adaptive advantage that enables leaves to develop and function in different habitats,marked by strong variations in solar radiation,air temperature,humidity and water table.     

Competition between Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima seedlings under simulated high groundwater availability

Desert riparian plants experience high variability in water availability due to hydrological fluctuations. How riparian plants can survive with low water availability has been well studied, however, little is known about the effects of high water availability on plant community structuring. We conducted a mesocosm experiment to test whether seedling competition under simulated high groundwater availability can explain the shift of co-dominance of Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima in early communities to P. euphratica dominance in mature ones along the Tarim River in northwestern China. Seedlings of these two plant species were grown in monoculture and mixture pools with high groundwater availability. Results indicated that the above-ground biomass and relative yield of T. ramosissima were higher than those of P. euphratica. The competitive advantages of T. ramosissima included its rapid response in growth to groundwater enrichment and its water spender strategy, as evidenced by the increased leaf biomass proportion and the inert stomatal response to leaf-to-air vapor pressure deficit(VPD). In comparison, P. euphratica showed a conservative strategy in water use, with a sensitive response to leaf-to-air VPD. Result of the short-term competition was inconsistent with the long-term competition in fields, suggesting that competition exclusion is not the mechanism structuring the desert riparian plant communities. Thus, our research highlights the importance of mediation by environmental fluctuations(such as lessening competition induced by disturbance) in structuring plant communities along the Tarim riparian zones.     

Gas exchange of Populus euphratica leaves in a riparian zone

Riparian vegetation belts in arid regions of Central Asia are endangered to lose their ecosystem services due to intensified land use.For the development of sustained land use,management knowledge of plant performance in relation to resource supply is needed.We estimated productivity related functional traits at the edges of the habitat of Populus euphratica Oliv.Specific leaf area(SLA) and carbon/nitrogen(C/N) ratio of P.euphratica leaves growing near a former river bank and close to moving sand dunes in the Ebinur Lake National Nature Reserve in Xinjiang,Northwest China(near Kazakhstan) were determined and daily courses of CO2 net assimilation(PN),transpiration(E),and stomatal conductance(gs) of two consecutive seasons were measured during July-August 2007 and June-July 2008.Groundwater level was high(1.5-2.5 m below ground) throughout the years and no flooding occurred at the two tree stands.SLA was slightly lower near the desert than at the former river bank and leaves contained less N in relation to C.Highest E and g s of P.euphratica were reached in the morning before noon on both stands and a second low maximum occurred in the afternoon despite of the unchanged high levels of air to leaf water vapor pressure deficit(ALVPD).Decline of g s in P.euphratica was followed by decrease of E.Water use efficiency(WUE) of leaves near the desert were higher in the morning and the evening,in contrast to leaves from the former river bank that maintained an almost stable level throughout the day.High light compensation points and high light saturation levels of PN indicated the characteristics of leaves well-adapted to intensive irradiation at both stands.In general,leaves of P.euphratica decreased their g s beyond 20 Pa/kPa ALVPD in order to limit water losses.Decrease of E did not occur in both stands until 40 Pa/kPa ALVPD was reached.Full stomatal closure of P.euphratica was achieved at 60 Pa/kPa ALVPD in both stands.E through the leaf surface amounted up to 30% of the highest E rates,indicating dependence on water recharge from the ground despite of obviously closed stomata.A distinct leaf surface temperature(Tleaf) threshold of around 30℃ also existed before stomata started to close.Generally,the differences in gas exchange between both stands were small,which led to the conclusion that micro-climatic constraints to E and photosynthesis were not the major factors for declining tree density with increasing distance from the river.     

塔里木河干流中游胡杨种群特征与动态分析

通过样地调查和数据统计,编制胡杨种群静态生命表,绘制存活曲线、生存率曲线、累计死亡率曲线、种群死亡密度曲线和危险率曲线,分析种群数量特征。同时,结合种群动态量化方法及时间序列预测,分析种群数量动态变化。结果表明:胡杨种群年龄结构呈金字塔型,幼龄级所占比例较大;存活曲线接近Deevey C(凹)型,且动态指数大于0,表明胡杨种群结构合理,为增长型种群。4个函数曲线表明,胡杨种群前期幅度变化较大,后期趋于稳定。时间序列分析表明,由于丰富的后续资源,种群能够稳定生长。     

水分胁迫下荒漠地区2种草本植物生物量分配策略

水分胁迫是荒漠地区生态系统结构和功能变化的主要驱动力。分析水分胁迫下,不同生长阶段荒漠植物生物量在地上-地下的分配比例,对精确估算地下有机碳存储量有重要的理论意义。通过盆栽控制实验,设置对照、中度和重度胁迫的水分梯度,选取荒漠地区2种草本植物涩荠（Malcolmia africana）和角果藜（Ceratocarpus arenarius）,分析其生物量在地上-地下的分配比例变化。结果表明：无论水分胁迫存在与否,总生物量累积均符合Sigmoidal生长模型;水分胁迫对植株早期发育阶段总生物量的累积无明显影响,但显著减少了发育后期总生物量的累积;植株每生长10 d,涩荠和角果藜叶片占总生物量的比例分别减少8.9%～10.6%和3.1%～3.4%。几乎等同于茎所增加的比例。水分胁迫使得地下生物量显著增加,但总生物量的累积仍以地上部分为主;根冠比在整个生长过程中呈4个渐变的阶段。     

辽宁西北部主要园林绿化树种叶片生长规律

采用标准化主轴和聚类分析方法,研究辽宁西北部主要树种叶片的比叶面积和异速生长规律。结果表明：种间叶片面积与生物量的共同斜率为1.052,其中46个树种斜率小于1.0,1个树种等于1.0,8个树种大于1.0;种间叶片含水量与生物量的共同斜率为1.052,其中42个树种斜率小于1.0,13个树种大于1.0。各树种比叶面积变化范围在48.83~276.52 cm²•g^-1,当欧氏距离为15时,可将树种划分为3类。辽宁西北部主要树种叶片生物量与面积、生物量与含水量之间总体呈等速生长,而各树种的异速生长指数却明显不同。树种比叶面积相对较低是其适应贫瘠环境的自然结果。因此,在干旱半干旱地区城市绿化和造林中,应选择比叶面积较小的树种。     

Retrieval of leaf biochemical properties by inversed PROSPECT model and hyperspectral indices: an application to Populus euphratica polymorphic leaves

Leaf biochemical properties have been widely assessed using hyperspectral reflectance information by inversion of PROSPECT model or by using hyperspectral indices,but few studies have focused on arid ecosystems.As a dominant species of riparian ecosystems in arid lands,Populus euphratica Oliv.is an unusual tree species with polymorphic leaves along the vertical profile of canopy corresponding to different growth stages.In this study,we evaluated both the inversed PROSPECT model and hyperspectral indices for estimating biochemical properties of P.euphratica leaves.Both the shapes and biochemical properties of P.euphratica leaves were found to change with the heights from ground surface.The results indicated that the model inversion calibrated for each leaf shape performed much better than the model calibrated for all leaf shapes,and also better than hyperspectral indices.Similar results were obtained for estimations of equivalent water thickness (EWT) and leaf mass per area (LMA).Hyperspectral indices identified in this study for estimating these leaf properties had root mean square error (RMSE) and R 2 values between those obtained with the two calibration strategies using the inversed PROSPECT model.Hence,the inversed PROSPECT model can be applied to estimate leaf biochemical properties in arid ecosystems,but the calibration to the model requires special attention.     

Effect of initial herbicide treatment and planting material on woody weed development and the growth of Eucalyptus nitens and Eucalyptus regnans

A research study of establishment techniques in plantations of Eucalyptus nitens (Deane et Maiden) Maiden and Eucalyptus regnans F Mueller was assessed for growth at age 12 years. Biomass of trees and woody weeds was determined in the 13th year to evaluate the long-term effect of herbicide treatment on plots established with optimum seedling tree and site preparation. Eucalyptus regnans produced only 60% of the biomass of E. nitens. Under-storey woody weed biomass under E. regnans comprised 18–30% of the total biomass compared with 6% for E. nitens plots. There was less total under-storey weed biomass under the herbicide-treated plots, but a similar weed leaf biomass. Under-storey weed leaf biomass contributed 14–40% of the total leaf biomass on the plots. Despite under-storey weed biomass being substantially greater on the no-herbicide plots sampled, this competition had not generally reduced growth of the trees compared with the herbicide-treated plots. Suitable site preparation, providing weed-free conditions at the time of planting, resulted in woody weed control adequate to establish seedlings and allow full growth without the use of herbicides, given suitable seedling material. Although pre-planting herbicide treatment was not necessary for optimum growth of E. nitens grown from bare-root transplants, it did improve growth of slower-growing planting stock.
