Tree-ring width, wood density, anatomical structure and 13C/12C ratios expressed as δ13C-values of whole wood of Picea abies were investigated for trees growing in closed canopy forest stands. Samples were collected from the alpine Renon site in
North Italy, the lowland Hainich site in Central Germany and the boreal Flakaliden site in North Sweden. In addition, Pinus cembra was studied at the alpine site and Pinus sylvestris at the boreal site. The density profiles of tree rings were measured using the DENDRO-2003 densitometer, δ13C was measured using high-resolution laser-ablation-combustion-gas chromatography-infra-red mass spectrometry and anatomical
characteristics of tree rings (tracheid diameter, cell-wall thickness, cell-wall area and cell-lumen area) were measured using
an image analyzer. Based on long-term statistics, climatic variables, such as temperature, precipitation, solar radiation
and vapor pressure deficit, explained <20% of the variation in tree-ring width and wood density over consecutive years, while
29–58% of the variation in tree-ring width were explained by autocorrelation between tree rings. An intensive study of tree
rings between 1999 and 2003 revealed that tree ring width and δ13C-values of whole wood were significantly correlated with length of the growing season, net radiation and vapor pressure deficit.
The δ13C-values were not correlated with precipitation or temperature. A highly significant correlation was also found between δ13C of the early wood of one year and the late wood of the previous year, indicating a carry-over effect of the growing conditions
of the previous season on current wood production. This latter effect may explain the high autocorrelation of long-term tree-ring
statistics. The pattern, however, was complex, showing stepwise decreases as well as stepwise increases in the δ13C between late wood and early wood. The results are interpreted in the context of the biochemistry of wood formation and its
linkage to storage products. It is clear that the relations between δ13C and tree-ring width and climate are multi-factorial in seasonal climates. 相似文献

The environmental signals of stable carbon isotope in various tree-ring components of Pinus tabulaeformis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) trees were sampled in the Helan Mountain, northwest China. The stable carbon isotope (δ13C) values of whole wood, holocellulose and alpha-cellulose in tree rings over 30 years (1968–1997) were measured to study
the δ13C response of different tree-ring components to past environmental change. There were obvious differences in the δ13C values of the three components. The Pearson correlation coefficient between the δ13C of alpha-cellulose and that of holocellulose was 0.547 (ρ < 0.01); between alpha-cellulose and whole wood, the coefficient was −0.126 (ρ > 0.10); between holocellulose and whole wood, the coefficient was −0.056. Correlation function analyses indicated that the
δ13C content of tree-ring alpha-cellulose correlated strongly with the average temperature from June to August (r = 0.427, ρ < 0.05), more than that of holocellulose (0.324, ρ < 0.10) or total wood (−0.245, ρ > 0.10). Significant correlations were observed between δ13C of tree-ring alpha-cellulose and the precipitation from the current year’s February to July (r = −0.514, ρ < 0.01) that were much higher than that of holocellulose (−0.481, ρ < 0.05) or total wood (−0.249, ρ > 0.10). A significant correlation (−0.545, ρ < 0.01) was also found between the ring width and the δ13C residual chronologies. These results suggest that more past environmental information is retained in the δ13C of tree-ring alpha-cellulose. Thus, the δ13C of alpha-cellulose of tree rings is the most suitable among the studied parameters for reconstructing the past climatic
conditions during the growing season. The δ13C values of other organic compounds in Pinus tabulaeformis xylem were affected by the external environment after carbon was fixed from the atmosphere. 相似文献

The stable carbon (C) composition of tree rings expressed as δ13C, is a measure of intrinsic water-use efficiency and can indicate the occurrence of past water shortages for tree growth.
We examined δ13C in 3- to 5-year-old rings of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb) Franco) trees to elucidate if decreased water supply or uptake was a critical factor in the observed growth reduction
of trees competing with understory herb and shrub vegetation compared to those growing without competition. We hypothesized
that there would be no differences in δ13C of earlywood in trees growing in plots with competing vegetation and those in plots receiving complete vegetation control
during 5 years because earlywood formed early in the growing season when soil water was ample. We also hypothesized that δ13C in latewood which was formed during the later half of the growing season when precipitation was low, would be greater (less
negative) in trees in plots without vegetation control. We then separated early and latewood from rings for three consecutive
years and analyzed their δ13C composition. No significant differences in earlywood δ13C in years 3–5 were observed for trees in the two vegetation control treatments. δ13C of untreated latewood separated from wood cores was greater in 4- and 5-year-old rings of trees growing with competing vegetation
compared to trees growing without vegetation competition (i.e., −25.5 vs. −26.3‰ for year 4, and −26.1 vs. −26.8‰ for year
5). Results suggest that water shortages occurred in Douglas-fir trees on this coastal Washington site in the latewood-forming
portion of the growing season of years 4 and 5 in the no-vegetation control treatment. We also compared δ13C from untreated wood, crude cellulose extracted with the Diglyme–HCl method, and holocellulose extracted with toluene–ethanol
to see if the extraction method would increase the sensitivity of the analysis. δ13C values from the two extraction methods were highly correlated with those from untreated samples (r
2 = 0.97, 0.98, respectively). Therefore, using untreated wood would be as effective as using crude cellulose or holocellulose
to investigate δ13C patterns in young Douglas-fir. 相似文献

The relationships between annual wood stable carbon isotope composition (δ13C), dry season midday plant water potential, and annual growth rate were investigated to asses the ability of agroforestry
species to adapt to climate changes. 6–8 stem disks from four co-occurring species (Acacia senegal, A. seyal, A. tortilis and Balanites aegyptiaca) were collected for radial growth measurements using tree-ring analysis spanning 1930–2003. Annual δ13C was measured on three tree disks per species for the period 1970–2002. Midday plant water potential was measured during
the dry season. Annual radial growth and midday plant water potential ranged from 0.27 to 9.12 mm and −1.0 to −5.0 MPa, respectively,
with statistically significant differences. After correcting annual wood δ13C for atmospheric changes in δ13C, carbon isotopic composition ranged from −22.22 to −26.58‰. Relationships between δ13C, radial growth and plant water potentials revealed the interaction of water availability, stomatal conductance, δ13C values and growth. Two contrasting water use strategies and competitive advantages can be distinguished. Species with lower
mean δ13C values (A. senegal and A. seyal) show high plant water potential and, hence, better growth during moist years. Thus, they indicate low water use efficiency
(WUE) and opportunistic water use strategy. On the other hand, species with lower water potentials (A. tortilis and B. aegyptiaca) showed relative better growth performance and less increase in δ13C in drought years, reflecting their high WUE and conservative water use strategy. These results suggest that δ13C in tree rings can be useful in estimating historic changes in plant WUE and hence in screening drought tolerant species
in the face of expected climate changes, as well as for assessing the functional diversity and risk reduction in mixed vegetation. 相似文献

We measured radial variation of carbon isotope composition and vessel traits in tree species in seasonally dry forests of
Northeast Thailand to explore a more reliable and amenable method of tropical dendrochronology for trees that lack visually
detectable and consistent growth rings. Six Dipterocarpaceae species (3 Shorea, 2 Dipterocarpus, and 1 Hopea species) with indistinct or irregular growth rings and teak (Tectona grandis), a species which forms distinct growth rings, were examined. The δ13C value variations in all species showed annual cyclicity. Dipterocarpaceae species usually marked the lowest values of δ13C in the middle of the growing season, whereas teak had the lowest values at nearly the end of the growing season. Since the
growing season of the species examined almost corresponds to the rainy season in the study area, the δ13C variation was likely caused by the change in moisture availability. The different variation pattern of teak was attributable
to its stronger dependence on 13C-enriched reserved material early in the growing season. Changes in tree vessel traits for all species examined also showed
annual cyclicity. Dipterocarpaceae species showed significant correlation between δ13C values and vessel measurements. Vessel lumen (mean area, tangential and radial diameter, and proportion of total area) had
a negative correlation, whereas vessel frequency showed a positive correlation. The correlations indicated that changes in
vessel traits were caused by the seasonal variation of moisture available to the trees. Thus, we concluded that methods using
wood anatomy, as well as δ13C, have great potential for use as tools in tropical dendrochronology within the context of seasonal climate. 相似文献

Associations between δ13C values and leaf gas exchanges and tree-ring or needle growth, used in ecophysiological compositions, can be complex depending
on the relative timing of CO2 uptake and subsequent redistribution and allocation of carbon to needle and stem components. For palaeoenvironmental and
dendroecological studies it is often interpreted in terms of a simple model of δ13C fractionation in C3 plants. However, in spite of potential complicating factors, few studies have actually examined these relationships in mature
trees over inter- and intra-annual time-scales. Here, we present results from a 4 years study that investigated the links
between variations in leaf gas-exchange properties, growth, and dated δ13C values along the needles and across tree rings of Aleppo pine trees growing in a semi-arid region under natural conditions
or with supplemental summer irrigation. Sub-sections of tissue across annual rings and along needles, for which time of formation
was resolved from growth rate analyses, showed rapid growth and δ13C responses to changing environmental conditions. Seasonal cycles of growth and δ13C (up to ~4‰) significantly correlated (P<0.01) with photosynthetically active radiation, vapour pressure deficit, air temperature, and soil water content. The irrigation
significantly increased leaf net assimilation, stomatal conductance and needle and tree-ring growth rate, and markedly decreased
needle and tree-ring δ13C values and its sensitivity to environmental parameters. The δ13C estimates derived from gas-exchange parameters, and weighted by assimilation, compared closely with seasonal and inter-annual
δ13C values of needle- and tree-ring tissue. Higher stomatal conductances of the irrigated trees (0.22 vs. 0.08 mol m−2 s−1 on average) corresponded with ~2.0‰ lower average δ13C values, both measured and derived. Derived and measured δ13C values also indicated that needle growth, which occurs throughout the stressful summer was supported by carbon from concurrent,
low rate assimilation. For Aleppo pine under semi-arid and irrigated conditions, the δ13C of tree-ring and needle material proved, in general, to be a reasonable indicator of integrated leaf gas-exchange properties. 相似文献

Poplar clones are known to display a wide range of tolerance to drought and water-use efficiency, but the effects of water
deficit on stem growth and tree-ring characteristics are rarely taken into account. This study was conducted in order to investigate
whether the main tree-ring traits correlate with irrigation regimes during the growing season in ‘I-214’ and ‘Dvina’ 4-year-old
poplar clone saplings grown in concrete tanks, during three consecutive years. Total carbon, stable carbon isotope, Klason
lignin and α-cellulose contents were analyzed to characterize wood biochemistry; ring width, wood density, mean vessel density
and mean vessel lumen area were analyzed to characterize wood anatomy to assess the influence of irrigation regime. In both
clones, wood formed in 2005 was more enriched in 13C, suggesting drought-induced stomatal closure. Wood formed in 2006 was less variable in δ13C in relation to irrigation regimes. ‘Dvina’ showed higher Klason lignin content and wood density than ‘I-214’, whatever the
irrigation regime, despite the larger ring widths. ‘Dvina’ has the potential to recover promptly after drought stress, but
at the expense of poor wood technological properties, while ‘I-214’ could continue to grow more uniformly under limited water
availability, though at a lower rate. 相似文献

Annual rings are generally not anatomically distinct in trees growing in the humid tropics. The possibility to use radial
variation in stable isotopes (δ18O and δ13C) for the identification of annual rings in these trees was investigated in two species growing in the tropical rainforest
of Central Guyana, Carapa guianensis and Goupia glabra. The climate is characterised by an annual precipitation of 2,700 mm that is distributed over two rainy and two dry seasons.
Cores were taken from trees of measured diameter increment rates. High-resolution tangential sections in radial direction
were dissected from these cores and isotopic ratios were measured on whole wood. Variation in δ13C was about 1‰ at an annual scale, whereas δ18O showed two to four times larger annual excursions. The minima in δ18O were selected as primary indicators of annual boundaries at the main wet season when also δ18O of precipitation water has its minimum. The minima in δ13C coincided often with these. The simultaneous occurrence is consistent with increased discrimination against 13C at high water availability. They were used as secondary criteria. Annual rings could thus be identified with reasonable
certainty in both species from radial variation in isotopic ratios as verified with measured diameter increment rates. The
short sequence covered in the analysis did not show clear correlation with the available precipitation data for the area.
The method supplemented with other dating methods may prove to be practically useful for identifying annual rings and applying
classical dendrochronology when more cost effective automatic sampling devices become available. 相似文献

Needles, annual rings from basal stem discs and bark of three dominant and three suppressed Pinus pinaster from a 12-year-old pine stand (naturally regenerated after a wildfire) were analysed to study the effects of climate, tree
age, dominance, and growth on tree δ15N. Foliar-N concentration in dominant pines (0.780–1.474% N) suggested that soil N availability was sufficient, a circumstance
that allowed isotopic discrimination by plants and (greater) differences in δ15N among trees. The δ15N decreases in the order wood (−0.20 to +6.12‰), bark (−1.84 to +1.85‰) and needles (−2.13 to +0.77‰). In all trees, before
dominance establishment (years 1–8), the N stored in each ring displayed a decreasing δ15N tendency as the tree grows, which is mainly due to a more “closed” N cycle or an increasing importance of N sources with
lower δ15N. After dominance establishment (years 9–12), wood δ15N values were higher in suppressed than in dominant trees (2.62 and 1.46‰, respectively; P < 0.01) while the reverse was true for needles and bark; simultaneously, the absolute amount of N stored by suppressed pines
in successive rings decreased, suggesting a lower soil N assimilation. These results could be explained by lignification acting
as major N source for needles in suppressed pines because products released and reallocated during lignification are 15N-depleted compared with the source. According to principal component analysis, wood δ15N appears associated with wood N concentration and precipitation during the growing season, but clearly opposed to age, basal
area increment and mean temperature in spring and summer. 相似文献

Spatial patterns of foliar stable carbon isotope compositions of C<Subscript>3</Subscript> plant species in the Loess Plateau of China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The spatial pattern of foliar stable carbon isotope compositions (δ13C) of dominant species and their relationships with environmental factors in seven sites, Yangling, Yongshou, Tongchuan, Fuxian,
Ansai, Mizhi and Shenmu, standing from south to north in the Loess Plateau of China, was studied. The results showed that
in the 121 C3 plant samples collected from the Loess Plateau, the foliar δ13C value ranged from −22.66‰ to −30.70‰, averaging −27.04‰. The foliar δ13C value varied significantly (P<0.01) among the seven sites, and the average δ13C value increased by about 1.69‰ from Yangling in the south to Shenmu in the north as climatic drought increased. There was
a significant difference in foliar δ13C value among three life-forms categorized from all the plant samples in the Loess Plateau (P<0.001). The trees (−26.74‰) and shrubs (−26.68‰) had similar mean δ13C values, both significantly (P<0.05) higher than the mean δ13C value of herbages (−27.69‰). It was shown that the trees and shrubs had higher WUEs and employed more conservative water-use
patterns to survive drier habitats in the Loess Plateau. Of all the C3 species in the Loess Plateau, the foliar δ13C values were significantly and negatively correlated with the mean annual rainfall (P<0.001) and mean annual temperature (P<0.05), while being significantly and positively correlated with the latitude (P<0.001) and the annual solar radiation (P<0.01). In general, the foliar δ13C values increased as the latitude and solar radiation increased and the rainfall and temperature decreased. The annual rainfall
as the main influencing factor could explain 13.3% of the spatial variations in foliar δ13C value. A 100 mm increment in annual rainfall would result in a decrease by 0.88‰ in foliar δ13C values. 相似文献

We conducted dendroecological analyses in 80-year-long tree ring chronologies to detect neighborhood effects (competition
intensity, species identity) on the δ13C signature of tree rings and radial stem increment of Fagus sylvatica trees growing either in monospecific or mixed patches of a temperate forest. We hypothesized that tree ring δ13C is a more sensitive indicator of neighborhood effects and the impact of climate variability on growth than is ring width.
We found a closer correlation of summer precipitation to δ13C than to ring width. While the ring width showed a decline over the test period (1926–2005), the mean curve of δ13C increased until the mid of the 1970s, remained high until about 1990, and markedly decreased thereafter. Possible explanations
related to ontogeny and environmental change (‘age effect’ due to canopy closure; elevated atmospheric SO2 concentrations in the 1960s–1980s) are discussed. Beech target trees surrounded by many allospecific trees had a significantly
lower mean δ13C in the period 1926–1975 than beech with predominantly or exclusively conspecific neighborhood, possibly indicating a more
favorable water supply of beech in diverse stands. Contrary to expectation, trees subject to more intense competition by neighboring
trees (measured by Hegyi’s competition index) had lower δ13C values in their tree rings, which is thought to reflect denser canopies being linked to increased shading. We conclude that
tree ring δ13C time series represent combined archives of climate variability, stand history and neighborhood effects on tree physiology
and growth that may add valuable information to that obtained from conventional tree ring analysis. 相似文献

Water source partitioning among trees growing on shallow karst soils in a seasonally dry tropical climate 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The sources of water used by woody vegetation growing on karst soils in seasonally dry tropical regions are little known.
In northern Yucatan (Mexico), trees withstand 4–6 months of annual drought in spite of the small water storage capacity of
the shallow karst soil. We hypothesized that adult evergreen trees in Yucatan tap the aquifer for a reliable supply of water
during the prolonged dry season. The naturally occurring concentration gradients in oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes in
soil, bedrock, groundwater and plant stem water were used to determine the sources of water used by native evergreen and drought-deciduous
tree species. While the trees studied grew over a permanent water table (9–20 m depth), pit excavation showed that roots were
largely restricted to the upper 2 m of the soil/bedrock profile. At the peak of the dry season, the δ18O signatures of potential water sources for the vegetation ranged from 4.1 ± 1.1‰ in topsoil to −4.3 ± 0.1‰ in groundwater.
The δ18O values of tree stem water ranged from −2.8 ± 0.3‰ in Talisia
olivaeformis to 0.8 ± 1‰ in Ficus cotinifolia, demonstrating vertical partitioning of soil/bedrock water among tree species. Stem water δ18O values were significantly different from that of groundwater for all the tree species investigated. Stem water samples plotted
to the right of the meteoric water line, indicating utilization of water sources subject to evaporative isotopic enrichment.
Foliar δ13C in adult trees varied widely among species, ranging from −25.3 ± 0.3‰ in Enterolobium cyclocarpum to −28.7 ± 0.4‰ in T. olivaeformis. Contrary to initial expectations, data indicate that native trees growing on shallow karst soils in northern Yucatan use
little or no groundwater and depend mostly on water stored within the upper 2–3 m of the soil/bedrock profile. Water storage
in subsurface soil-filled cavities and in the porous limestone bedrock is apparently sufficient to sustain adult evergreen
trees throughout the pronounced dry season. 相似文献

The stable oxygen isotope (δ
18O) composition of Austrocedrus chilensis (D. Don) Endl. (Cupressaceae) tree rings potentially provide retrospective views of changes in environment and climate in the semi-arid lands of Patagonia. We report the development of the first annually resolved δ
18O tree-ring chronology obtained from natural forests of the foothills of the northwestern Patagonian Andes. The isotope record spans between 1890 and 1994 AD. We explore the probable links between this record and the climate of the region. Air temperatures during summer conditions are significantly, but not strongly, inversely correlated with annual δ
18O values from Austrocedrus tree rings. The strongest correlations are between the southern oscillation index (SOI) and the tree rings. The existence of millennial-age Austrocedrus trees in northern Patagonia provides interesting possibilities for examining these climate-related isotopic signals over most of the last 1,000 years. 相似文献

The seasonal trends in water use efficiency of sun and shade leaves of mature oak (Quercus robur) and sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) trees were assessed in the upper canopy of an English woodland. Intrinsic water use efficiency (net CO2 assimilation rate/leaf conductance, A/g) was measured by gas exchange and inferred from C isotope discrimination (δ13C) methods. Shade leaves had consistently lower δ13C than sun leaves (by 1–2‰), the difference being larger in sycamore. Buds had distinct sun and shade isotopic signatures
before bud break and received an influx of 13C-rich C before becoming net autotrophs. After leaf full expansion, δ13C declined by 1–2‰ gradually through the season, emphasising the importance of imported carbon in the interpretation of leaf
δ13C values in perennial species. There was no significant difference between the two species in the value of intrinsic water
use efficiency for either sun or shade leaves. For sun leaves, season-long A/g calculated from δ13C (72–78 μmol CO2 [mol H2O]−1) was 10–16% higher than that obtained from gas exchange and in situ estimates of leaf boundary layer conductance. For shade
leaves, the gas exchange–derived values were low, only 10–18% of the δ13C-derived values. This is ascribed to difficulties in obtaining a comprehensive sample of gas exchange measurements in the
rapidly changing light environment. 相似文献

Primary production by phytoplankton in the eutrophic Mikawa Bay, Japan, was studied by simultaneous measurements of natural
carbon isotope ratio (δ
13C) and short-term carbon uptake rates (13C tracer study) of size-fractionated nannoplankton (<10 μm) and net plankton (>10 μm) samples. Short-term photosynthetic rates,
which represent the physiological state of algae, were variable regardless of standing stock sizes. Theδ
13C values of particulate organic carbon (POC) in June and July displayed horizontal variations for both the net plankton fraction
(−19.8 to −12.7‰) and the nannoplankton fraction (−22.0 to −12.8‰). For both fractions, low concentrations of POC had more
negativeδ
13C values (−22 to −18‰). Highδ
13C values for the net plankton were found when POC concentrations were much higher, due to red tide. This suggests that the
increase in algal standing crop for the net plankton fraction resulted from accelerated photosynthetic activity. However the
nannoplankton fractions with higher POC values have relatively lowδ
13C values. 相似文献

Diurnal fluctuations of leaf water isotope ratios (δ18O and δD) were measured for Jeffrey (Pinus jeffreyi Balf.) and lodgepole (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Louden) pine. Two trees per species were sampled every few hours on 15–16 October 2005 and 19–20 June 2006. Diurnal
gas exchange was measured during the summer sampling. In fall 2005, leaf water δ18O ranged from 0.7 to 9.0‰, and leaf water δD ranged from −70 to −50‰. In summer 2006, leaf water δ18O ranged from 7.7 to 20.7‰, and leaf water δD ranged from −61 to −24‰. Diurnal variation of leaf water isotope values typically
reached a maximum in early afternoon, began decreasing around midnight, and reached a minimum in mid-morning. Both periods
showed a high degree of enrichment relative to source water, with leaf water–source water enrichments ranging up to 37.8‰
for δ18O, and up to 95‰ for δD. Leaf water enrichment varied by season with summer enrichment being greater than fall enrichment.
A steady-state model (i.e., modified Craig–Gordon modeling) for leaf water isotope compositions did not provide a good fit
to measured values of leaf water. In summer, a non-steady state model provided a better fit to the measured data than the
steady-state model. Our findings demonstrate substantial leaf water enrichment above source water and diurnal variations in
the isotopic composition of leaf water, which has application to understanding short-term variability of atmospheric gases
(water vapor, CO2, O2), climate studies based on the isotopic composition of tree rings, and ecosystem water fluxes. 相似文献

The carbon isotope composition of ethyl alcohol produced during alcohol fermentation depended on the substrate used and was
characterized by the value of δ13C equal to −24.7 ± 0.8%. (wheat grain), −22 ± 0.1%. (rye grain), −22 ± 0.5%. (products of wood hydrolysis), −15.3 ±0.3%. (maize
grain) and −10 ± 0.1%. (sugar cane). The isotope composition of carbon of ethyl alcohol obtained during catalytic hydroxylation
of ethylene has a δ13C of −30.6 ± 0.3%.. The possibility of quantitative determination of specific components in mixtures of ethanol samples with
various isotope compositions (chemical synthesis and alcohol fermentation of raw material from C3 or C4 plants) was shown. 相似文献

Interseasonal comparison of CO2 concentrations, isotopic composition, and carbon dynamics in an Amazonian rainforest (French Guiana) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Canopy CO2 concentrations in a tropical rainforest in French Guiana were measured continuously for 5 days during the 1994 dry season
and the 1995 wet season. Carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) throughout the canopy (0.02–38 m) showed a distinct daily pattern, were well-stratified and decreased with increasing height
into the canopy. During both seasons, daytime [CO2] in the upper and middle canopy decreased on average 7–10 μmol mol−1 below tropospheric baseline values measured at Barbados. Within the main part of the canopy (≥ 0.7 m), [CO2] did not differ between the wet and dry seasons. In contrast, [CO2] below 0.7 m were generally higher during the dry season, resulting in larger [CO2] gradients. Supporting this observation, soil CO2 efflux was on average higher during the dry season than during the wet season, either due to diffusive limitations and/or
to oxygen deficiency of root and microbial respiration. Soil respiration rates decreased by 40% after strong rain events,
resulting in a rapid decrease in canopy [CO2] immediately above the forest floor of about 50␣μmol mol−1. Temporal and spatial variations in [CO2]canopy were reflected in changes of δ13Ccanopy and δ18Ocanopy values. Tight relationships were observed between δ13C and δ18O of canopy CO2 during both seasons (r
2 > 0.86). The most depleted δ13Ccanopy and δ18Ocanopy values were measured immediately above the forest floor (δ13C = −16.4‰; δ18O = 39.1‰ SMOW). Gradients in the isotope ratios of CO2 between the top of the canopy and the forest floor ranged between 2.0‰ and 6.3‰ for δ13C, and between 1.0‰ and 3.5‰ for δ18O. The δ13Cleaf and calculated c
i/c
a of foliage at three different positions were similar for the dry and wet seasons indicating that the canopy maintained a
constant ratio of photosynthesis to stomatal conductance. About 20% of the differences in δ13Cleaf within the canopy was accounted for by source air effects, the remaining 80% must be due to changes in c
i/c
a. Plotting 1/[CO2] vs. the corresponding δ13C ratios resulted in very tight, linear relationships (r
2 = 0.99), with no significant differences between the two seasons, suggesting negligible seasonal variability in turbulent
mixing relative to ecosystem gas exchange. The intercepts of these relationships that should be indicative of the δ13C of respired sources were close to the measured δ13C of soil respired CO2 and to the δ13C of litter and soil organic matter. Estimates of carbon isotope discrimination of the entire ecosystem, Δe, were calculated as 20.3‰ during the dry season and as 20.5‰ during the wet season.

Leaf carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) and photosynthetic gas exchange were measured on plants growing in hanging garden communities in southern Utah, USA. Hanging
gardens are unusual, mesic cliff communities occurring where water seeps from the sandstone bedrock in an otherwise extremely
arid region; there is very limited overlap in species distributions inside and outside these gardens. Solar exposure in hanging
gardens varied with orientation and one of the gardens (Ribbon Garden) was shaded throughout the day. The leaf δ13C values of plants in hanging gardens were significantly more negative than for plants from either nearby ephemeral wash or
riparian communities. In Ribbon Garden, the observed δ13C values were as low as −34.8‰, placing them among the most negative values reported for any terrestrial plant species growing
in a natural environment. Hanging garden plants were exposed to normal atmospheric CO2 with an average δ13C value of −7.9‰ and so the low leaf δ13C values could not be attributed to exposure to a CO2 source with low 13C content. There was a seasonal change toward more negative leaf δ13C values at the end of the growing season. The observed leaf δ13C values were consistent with photosynthetic gas exchange measurements that indicated unusually high leaf intercellular CO2 concentrations associated with the relatively low light levels in hanging gardens. Thus, extremely negative leaf δ13C values would be expected if significant amounts of the seasonal carbon gain occur at light levels low enough to be near
the light compensation point. Maximum observed photosynthetic rates varied with light levels at each of the gardens, with
maximum rates averaging 20.3, 14.6, and 3.1 μmol m−2 s−1 at Double Garden, Lost Garden, and Ribbon Garden, respectively. Leaf nitrogen contents averaged 18.5 mg g−1 in species from the more shaded hanging gardens (Lost and Ribbon). When expressed on a leaf area basis, nitrogen contents
averaged 117 mmol N m−2 at Lost Garden and 65 mmol N m−2 at Ribbon Garden (shadiest of the two gardens). Leaf nitrogen isotope ratios averaged −2.3‰ (range of −0.7 to −6.1‰), suggesting
that most of the nitrogen was derived from a biological fixation source which is most likely the Nostoc growing on the sandstone walls at the seep. These values contrast with leaf nitrogen isotope ratios of 5–9‰ which have been
previously reported for arid zone plants in nearby ecosystems.

Hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios of tree-ring cellulose for riparian trees grown long-term under hydroponically controlled environments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Saplings of three riparian tree species (alder, birch and cottonwood) were grown for over 5 months in a hydroponics system
that maintained the isotopic composition of source water in six treatments, ranging from –120 to +180‰δD and –15 to +10‰δ18O. The trees were grown in two greenhouses maintained at 25°C and at either 40 or 75% relative humidity, creating differences
in transpiration rates and leaf water isotopic evaporative enrichment. The cellulose produced in the annual growth ring was
linearly related to source water with differences in both slope and offset associated with greenhouse humidity. The slope
of the isotopic composition of source water versus tree-ring cellulose was less than 1 for both δD and δ18O indicating incomplete isotopic exchange of carbohydrate substrate with xylem water during cellulose synthesis. Tests using
the outer portion of the tree-ring and new roots were similar and showed that the tree-ring values were representative of
the cellulose laid down under the imposed environmental conditions. The fraction of H and O in carbohydrate substrate that
isotopically exchange with medium water was calculated to be 0.36 and 0.42 respectively, and biochemical mechanisms for these
observed fractions are discussed. A mechanistic model of the biochemical fractionation events for both δD and δ18O leading to cellulose synthesis was robust over the wide range of cellulose stable isotope ratios. The experimental results
indicate that both water source and humidity information are indeed recorded in tree-ring cellulose. These results help to
resolve some of the disparate observations regarding the interpretation of stable isotope ratios in tree-rings found in the
literature.
