城市森林降温效应影响因素研究进展

城市森林是缓解城市热岛效应的重要绿色基础设施。本文探讨影响城市森林降温效应的内、外因素及作用机制,为优化城市森林结构、缓解城市热岛效应提供参考。影响城市森林降温效应的内部因素从单木尺度上主要有树种、树冠结构和树冠形状,从林分尺度上主要有林分类型、林分结构、绿量、林分面积和形状,城区尺度主要应用遥感方法对城市森林降温效应进行研究,主要指标有归一化植被指数、叶面积指数和景观格局指数;影响城市森林降温效应的外部因素有气候、地面类型和经营措施等;内部因素及外部因素通过影响林内外能量的流动和交换,共同影响城市森林降温效应。缓解城市热岛效应,一方面要加强理论研究,重视温度场理论,结合地面观测与遥感解译,充分研究林分结构与城市森林能量传输的关系,另一方面需加强城市森林的经营管理,从促进热量交换的角度优化林分结构,合理布局城市建筑、森林和水体等基础设施,实现降温效应最大化。     

Effects of nitrogen supply on water‐use efficiency of higher plants

The worldwide increase of food demand and reduced sweet‐water availability in some important food‐producing regions raised interest in more efficient water use, which has become one of the central research topics in agriculture. Improved irrigation management and reduced bare‐soil evaporation have highest priority to increase agronomic water‐use efficiency (WUE). Compared to these technical (irrigation) and basic (crop production) management options, effects of nutrient management on WUE were less frequently considered. Twenty‐nine publications on nitrogen (N) effects on biomass WUE of container‐grown plants are considered in this review. Most of them indicate positive N effects on WUE, and relevance of N effects on intrinsic WUE and unproductive water and carbon loss is discussed. A plot of 90 published data of percent decreases of WUE and dry mass under variable N supply is presented. Extrapolation of biomass WUE from leaf measurements of intrinsic WUE is critically reviewed. The positive correlation between WUE and dry‐mass formation suggests that physiological rather than stomatal effects are more important in order to explain positive N effects on WUE.     

Diversity in daytime and night‐time transpiration dynamics in barley indicates adaptation to drought regimes across the Middle‐East

A challenge to breeding drought‐tolerant barley in the Middle‐East is that precipitation and evaporative demand patterns dictate opposite water use strategies (conservative vs. risk‐taking). To characterize these strategies, we examined high‐resolution, whole‐plant transpiration rate (TR) responses to increasing vapour pressure deficit (VPD) and nocturnal TR (TR_N) dynamics among 25 local barley genotypes, using a novel phenotyping system. These traits were specifically selected because they exist under modalities enabling the expression of both strategies. The genotypes were selected from locations spread across a large aridity gradient represented by temperature and precipitation data spanning 30 years. Here, we uncovered a substantial diversity in TR responses to VPD where slopes of the linear responses correlated negatively with local maximal temperatures, pointing to opposite drought tolerance strategies. Low canopy conductance (low slopes) was associated with higher aridity, likely to enable water‐saving, while higher conductance was associated with wetter areas, likely to enable a more aggressive water use to maximize physiological activity. TR_N was highly diverse and represented up to 15% of maximal daytime TR, pointing to the possibility of increasing water‐saving by reducing TR_N. Furthermore, we detected pre‐dawn variation in TR_N that negatively correlated with local precipitation, indicating that a tighter circadian control is associated with adaptation to drought, consistently with a circadian resonance mechanism. These findings indicate that canopy conductance and TR_N are potentially beneficial to design drought‐tolerant barley germplasm adapted to different drought regimes taking place in the Middle‐East.     

Photosynthesis of field-grown Arracacha (Arracacia xanthorriza Bancroft) cultivars in relation to root-yield

There has been limited research on measuring potential differences in leaf gas exchange of Arracacha (Peruvian parsnip, Arracacia xanthorriza Bancroft) cultivars, as affected by different environments, as well as its relation to storage root-yield. The present paper reports field measurements of leaf CO₂ assimilation rates (A) for five contrasting cultivars grown at two different high-altitude locations. Using a design of plots chosen at random with three repetitions, commercial root production was determined in the two locations at different altitude (1580 and 1930 m). Daily leaf gas exchange was repeatedly monitored with a portable open-mode infrared gas analyzer at different times in both locations during the growth cycle. Root-yield, leaf area and dry weight were measured. Significant differences in leaf photosynthetic rate and in specific leaf area (SLA) were observed among cultivars. Cultivars with high SLA, had high CO₂ assimilation. Mean (A_n) and total (A_tot) of CO₂ assimilation and SLA were significantly correlated with storage root-yield across cultivars and locations. The three cultivars with the greatest commercial root production also had the highest maximum values for A and the highest specific leaf area, indicating that these two parameters can be used to select for highly productive cultivars of A. xanthorriza.     

Leaf stomatal conductance and stomatal morphology of Musa germplasm

Drought tolerance combined with resistance to black sigatoka (BS) disease are two desirable traits for plantains in some parts of the tropics. Field evaluation of leaf stomatal conductance, single leaf transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and role of stomata in BS resistance, was done for 18 genotypes of Musa spp., which included diploid and triploid banana and plantains and tetraploid plantain hybrids, at a sub-humid and a humid site. Conductances were significantly (P ≤ 0.01) higher for leaf abaxial than adaxial surfaces (S), while clonal (C) differences were significant (P ≤ 0.05). Interactions between sampling period (T: morning vs afternoon) and location (L), and clone and location (C × L) were significant for both conductance and transpiration; (C × T × L) interaction was significant for conductance. Significant interactions for (C × L) and (C × T) suggested that conductance and transpiration of a specific clone need to be considered for a given environment. Total variation in conductance was explained by the following variables: S, C, (C × L), (C × T), and (C × L × T). In general, ABB cooking banana had higher conductances than other Musa taxonomic groups (AAB, AA, AAA, and AAAB). Evaluation of morphological and physiological traits of leaf stomata indicated that the resistance to BS disease is due to non-stomatal mechanisms.

Effects of Repeated Cycles of Dehydrationrehydration on Gas Exchange and Water Use Efficiency of Seedlings \=

该文研究了多重复干旱循环对１年生北美短叶松和黑云杉苗木的气体交换速率及水分利用效率的影响．结果表明,多重复干旱循环对它们的气体交换（Ｃｓ,Ｐｎ,Ｔｒ）有显著影响（Ｐ＜０．５）,而对其水分利用效率（ＷＵＥ）影响不大（Ｐ＞０．１）．尽管北美短叶松的气孔对轻度干旱胁迫不如黑云杉敏感,但是它对中度及严重干旱胁迫的敏感程度却高于黑云杉．在轻度及中度干旱胁迫下,北美短叶松的光合作用主要受非气孔因素的影响,而黑云杉则主要受气孔因素的影响．解除干旱胁迫后,黑云杉的气孔敏感性、光合能力及水分利用效率的恢复都要比北美短叶松更快．轻度的干旱胁迫锻炼可以帮助北美短叶松在更严重的干旱胁迫下保持固有而强劲的耐旱能力．然而,通过多重复干旱循环锻炼后,黑云杉在改善耐旱能力的强度方面大于北美短叶松．     

黄瓜耐热性与其叶片、根系和花粉性状关系的研究

在提出一种黄瓜营养生长耐热性评价方法的基础上,研究黄瓜耐热性与其叶片、根系和花粉性状的关系。结果表明：黄瓜营养生长的耐热性是高温下黄瓜产量形成的重要生理基础,花粉耐热性不能作为黄瓜耐热材料的筛选指标。高温下黄瓜叶片厚度、叶片栅栏组织厚度、叶片温度、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和根系干重与黄瓜营养生长耐热性呈显著线性相关,表明蒸腾降温是黄瓜营养系统避免高温伤害的重要机制。
