沈阳北陵古油松衰亡原因的初步研究

本文应用树木年轮学方法，并结合土壤立地质量评价对沈阳北陵古油松衰亡的原因进行了初步研究。结果认为：大气和土壤环境中二氧化硫、铝、铅、镉的长期严重污染是古油松衰亡的重要原因。受到污染毒害的古油松生活力下降，生长衰退，降低了对外界逆境因子的抵抗力，对病虫害也变得敏感，表现为在虫害的作用下死亡     

宁夏六盘山华山松年轮年表对生态气候指标的响应

利用树木年轮学方法建立六盘山华山松年表,并与生态气候指标进行相关分析,以重建1953—2003年六盘山地表干湿状况的代用资料。结果表明:华山松年轮宽度变化对5—7月的气温、3月和5月的降水量更为敏感;干燥指数优于单一气候因子成为该地区表述复杂的地表状况的生态气候指标;六盘山地区存在1953—1963年,1993—2003年2个干热期,并存在4～7年的小周期;20世纪80年代开始六盘山干燥度逐渐升高,近几年年降水量还可能处在历史较低水平,2011年的干燥指数大概为23.5,仍处于干热期。     

Thinning around old oaks in spruce production forests: current practices show no positive effect on oak growth rates and need fine tuning

The expansion of spruce-dominated forestry in Southern Sweden during the twentieth century has led to a considerable amount of oak (Quercus robur L.) woodlands being converted into stands dominated by planted spruce. The thinning of spruces around oak trees is currently done in Sweden to improve local diversity of insects, oak growing conditions and eventually decrease their mortality. To evaluate the effect of these treatments, we dendrochronologically studied growth of old (100–200 years old) oaks subjected to thinning of different intensity at nine locations in southern Sweden, and compared them to oaks located in nearby pastures. The overall pattern suggests that commonly adopted thinning intensities do not significantly affect oak growth. Oak growth was positively related to oak age and negatively to the amount of dead oak crown. Analyses of correlations between oak growth and summer drought conditions, as reflected by location-specific chronologies of the Monthly Drought Code (MDC), indicated that older trees exhibited generally negative correlations, whereas the correlation remained generally positive for the younger trees, both inside and outside forest stands. We propose that removal of spruces should be primarily done around older and healthier-looking trees.
