荷木整树蒸腾对干湿季土壤水分的水力响应

降雨在时间上的非均匀分配导致森林土壤含水量呈现明显的干、湿季变化,并可能在干季形成水分胁迫,引起植物蒸腾变化。在监测环境因子的同时,利用Granier热消散探针连续监测荷木(Schima superba)的树干液流,以液流密度值计算整树蒸腾,并结合水力导度与叶片/土壤的水势差,探讨环境因子和水力导度对荷木整树蒸腾的协同控制。结果表明,华南地区的季节性降雨形成的干、湿季并未引起荷木蒸腾在季节上的显著差异,但对产生蒸腾的水力生理产生了显著影响。荷木蒸腾在干、湿季均与主要驱动环境因子(光合有效辐射PAR和水汽压亏缺VPD)呈显著正相关。在水热充足的湿季,荷木蒸腾主要受气孔导度调节;在干季,当空气水汽压亏缺达2.132 MPa时,水力导度与气孔导度协同控制蒸腾。整树水力导度对整树蒸腾的水力补偿出现在15:00—17:00,平均补偿值为0.08 g/s。利用蒸腾的估测值与实测值之间的差值量化荷木的水力补偿效应,是对水力导度与气孔导度协同控制树木蒸腾机理的深入探索。研究结果对于掌握季节性降雨不均背景下华南地区主要造林树种需水和耗水规律,有效发挥森林保水功能具有重要意义。     

华南地区常见树种导管特征与树干液流的关系

为探讨树木结构与功能的关系,对华南地区常见8种树木边材的导管特征进行观察,并利用Granier热扩散探针法测量干、湿季树干的液流密度,分析导管特征与树干液流的关系。结果表明,除红锥(Castanopsis hystrix)有两种导管外,大叶相思(Acacia auriculaeformis)、荷木(Schima superba)、火力楠(Michelia macclurei)、藜蒴(C.fissa)、马占相思(A.mangium)、柠檬桉(Eucalyptus citriodora)、尾巨桉(E.urophylla×E.grandis)的导管类型单一。导管特征在种间存在明显差异,且导管长度、密度和孔径之间存在明显相关性,它们与标准化的边材面积呈现显著相关。湿季液流最大值与导管特征无明显相关性,但整树最大蒸腾速率与导管特征呈显著相关;树木的日蒸腾量与导管特征也有明显相关性。因此,树木的液流速率并不受树干的导管影响;而树干的导管孔径与边材面积间的负相关权衡机制,可以降低树种间由于导管孔径差异引起的树干的水分输送速率的差异性。     

不同径级马占相思(Acacia mangium)整树蒸腾的湿、干季变化

利用Granier树干液流测定系统对广东鹤山丘陵地马占相思(Acacia mangium)林进行长期监测,并同步监测环境因子(空气温度、相对湿度、光合有效辐射、土壤体积含水量),选择胸径具有代表性的样树,结合马占相思的形态学参数,计算马占相思的整树蒸腾.通过对光合有效辐射(PAR)分级,建立不同辐射强度等级的湿季(土壤水分θ≥33%)整树蒸腾与水汽压亏缺(VPD)的相关方程,以干季(θ≤24%)的VPD代入对应PAR等级的湿季的拟合方程,求出干季的潜在蒸腾,以潜在蒸腾和干季实际蒸腾之差分析不同径级整树蒸腾在不同季节的实际变化.在所有的PAR分级内,干季整树蒸腾显著低于湿季,仅占湿季蒸腾的10%～20%,就蒸腾减少的绝对量而言,优势木>中间木>劣势木.土壤水分下降缩小了不同径级树木之间液流密度的差异,土壤水分亏缺限制了树木的蒸腾,对马占相思的生长造成一定程度的水分胁迫.

九种维管植物水力性状的演化趋势

维管植物从蕨类植物、裸子植物到被子植物的演化过程中, 生理结构和功能都被认为更趋向于适应干旱的环境。但是关于3类植物是否提升了水分传导和水分利用效率的研究目前多基于叶脉和气孔的形态结构推断, 而对水分传导速率的直接测量则集中于被子植物内部。因此, 同时测定3类植物叶片和枝条尺度的水力性状, 可以研究维管植物水力性状的演化趋势和协同演化关系。该研究测定了中国科学院华南植物园内的蕨类植物(芒萁(Dicranopteris pedata)、华南毛蕨(Cyclosorus parasiticus)、乌毛蕨(Blechnum orientale)), 裸子植物(罗汉松(Podocarpus macrophyllus)、竹柏(Podocarpus nagi)、落羽杉(Taxodium distichum))和被子植物(海南木莲(Manglietia fordiana var. hainanensis)、东京油楠(Sindora tonkinensis)、羊蹄甲(Bauhinia purpurea))共9种植物的水力结构与功能的相关性状。发现9种植物从原始到更演化物种的枝条比导水率(K_S)、叶片比导水率(K_L)和叶片水力导度(K_leaf)依次升高; 叶片蒸腾速率(E)和潜在水分利用效率(WUE_i)升高趋势不显著; 气孔面积指数(SPI)和木材密度(WD)在3个类群间无明显变化趋势。水力功能性状在枝条(K_S)和叶片(K_L、K_leaf和E)尺度显著相关, 但和两个结构性状并无显著相关性。对显著相关的性状进行系统发育独立差分析发现相关性依然存在, 表明枝条导水和叶片导水、叶片失水的协同性独立于系统发育而存在。该文以9种维管植物为例, 发现演化过程中水分传导相关的功能性状有显著提升, 且导水和失水的性状存在着协同演化关系。上述维管植物水力性状演化趋势的结论需要对更多物种、更精细的水力结构性状的进行测定验证。

维管植物从蕨类植物、裸子植物到被子植物的演化过程中, 生理结构和功能都被认为更趋向于适应干旱的环境。但是关于3类植物是否提升了水分传导和水分利用效率的研究目前多基于叶脉和气孔的形态结构推断, 而对水分传导速率的直接测量则集中于被子植物内部。因此, 同时测定3类植物叶片和枝条尺度的水力性状, 可以研究维管植物水力性状的演化趋势和协同演化关系。该研究测定了中国科学院华南植物园内的蕨类植物(芒萁(Dicranopteris pedata)、华南毛蕨(Cyclosorus parasiticus)、乌毛蕨(Blechnum orientale)), 裸子植物(罗汉松(Podocarpus macrophyllus)、竹柏(Podocarpus nagi)、落羽杉(Taxodium distichum))和被子植物(海南木莲(Manglietia fordiana var. hainanensis)、东京油楠(Sindora tonkinensis)、羊蹄甲(Bauhinia purpurea))共9种植物的水力结构与功能的相关性状。发现9种植物从原始到更演化物种的枝条比导水率(K_S)、叶片比导水率(K_L)和叶片水力导度(K_leaf)依次升高; 叶片蒸腾速率(E)和潜在水分利用效率(WUE_i)升高趋势不显著; 气孔面积指数(SPI)和木材密度(WD)在3个类群间无明显变化趋势。水力功能性状在枝条(K_S)和叶片(K_L、K_leaf和E)尺度显著相关, 但和两个结构性状并无显著相关性。对显著相关的性状进行系统发育独立差分析发现相关性依然存在, 表明枝条导水和叶片导水、叶片失水的协同性独立于系统发育而存在。该文以9种维管植物为例, 发现演化过程中水分传导相关的功能性状有显著提升, 且导水和失水的性状存在着协同演化关系。上述维管植物水力性状演化趋势的结论需要对更多物种、更精细的水力结构性状的进行测定验证。     

马占相思林冠层气孔导度对环境驱动因子的响应

利用Granier热消散探针在2003年10月测定了广东鹤山丘陵地马占相思林14株样树的树干液流,同时监测林冠上方的光合有效辐射、空气湿度和气温,结合树木的形态和林分的结构特征,计算马占相思的整树蒸腾(E)、林分总蒸腾(E_t)以及冠层平均气孔导度(g_c),分析树形特征与整树水分利用的关系、冠层气孔导度对光合有效辐射(PAR)和空气水汽压亏缺(D)的响应.结果表明,整树蒸腾与胸径(P＜0.0001)、边材面积(P＜0.0001)和冠幅(P=0.0007)以自然对数的形式、与树高(P=0.014)以幂函数的形式呈现显著正相关.冠层气孔导度最大值(g_cmax)随D的上升呈对数函数下降(P＜0.0001),对光合有效辐射的响应则呈双曲线函数增加(P＜0.0001).液流测定系统能提供连续和准确的整树和林分蒸腾速率值,经严格数学推导公式计算,最终可求出冠层气孔导度,是研究森林水分利用与环境因子相互关系的有效方法.     

两种木兰科植物的树干液流特征及其与环境因子的关系

了解木兰科植物的水分利用特点对提高其迁地保护的成功率具有重要作用。利用TDP探针(热消散探针)测定2种木兰科植物长蕊木兰(Alcimandra cathcartii)和醉香含笑(Michelia macclurei)的树干液流,分析树干液流与环境因子的关系。结果表明:2树种整树蒸腾的日变化均为单峰格型,但夜间仍有液流发生;在1月长蕊木兰单位断面积液流通量(F'd)日峰值[(25.00±7.35)g·m-2·s-1]明显比醉香含笑高[(6.35±1.46)g·m-2·s-1],在7月和1月长蕊木兰的F'd日平均值(6:00-18:00)也明显高于醉香含笑;2树种日蒸腾耗水量对环境因子的响应随季节变化而异,在干季(10月和1月)2树种对环境因子的响应比雨季(4月和7月)更明显;单位断面积日蒸腾耗水量可以有效区分个体间或种间的耗水差异;长蕊木兰的生理耗水量比醉香含笑大,在迁地保护时应注意长蕊木兰对水分需求较大的生理特征。

荷木对干湿季土壤水分的利用和适应性调节

为了解荷木对土壤水分利用的干湿季差异,利用热消散探针法(TDP)连续监测荷木(Schima superba)液流密度(Js),基于测定的叶片水势(Ψ_L)、叶面积指数(LAI)及胡伯尔值(A_S∶A_L)等参数,结合同步监测的环境因子,分析整树水力导度(K_L)、冠层气孔导度(GS)和蒸腾有效储存水量(Q)的干湿季变化。结果表明,干季荷木林出现土壤水分亏缺,使荷木对水分吸收和传输的阻力增加。但G_S对水汽压亏缺(VPD)的敏感性较高,使干湿季正午叶片水势(Ψ_(L-mid))、土壤-叶片水势差(ΔΨ_(S-L))保持相对稳定;干季荷木通过降低LAI、K_L和G_S有效调控蒸腾;增加Q对日蒸腾的贡献率及单位叶面积的Q以部分补偿水分胁迫。这些适应性调节使荷木在光热资源仍然充足的干季保持旺盛的蒸腾活动,维持与湿季相似的单位叶面积蒸腾量。因此,K_L和G_S的调节作用、Q的水力补偿效应以及自身水力特征在一定程度上解释了荷木干湿季单位叶面积的水分利用呈常数状态,并且SWC对蒸腾无明显的限制作用的原因。     

Responses of Wetland Tree Species to Hydrology and Soils

We conducted a study of the flood tolerance of nine wetland tree species on seven soil types. Seedlings were subjected to 11 months of continuous shallow inundation or moist soil conditions on three mineral soils, two organic soils, a manufactured soil designed to mimic the practice of layering muck over mineral soil, and a stockpiled topsoil. Taxodium ascendens, T. distichum, Acer rubrum, and Pinus serotina suffered no mortality; Fraxinus carolininna (1%), Liquidambar styraciflua (8%), P. elliottii (8%), and Gordonia lasianthus (24%) suffered low to moderate mortality; and Persea palustris (46%) suffered significant mortality. In general, greatest net height and total biomass were achieved on moist organic soils, and least net height and total biomass were achieved on stockpiled topsoil and inundated soils. Responses to hydrological conditions were less pronounced for Taxodium spp. If the results of this experiment are transferable to the field, then Acer rubrum, Fraxinus caroliniana, Pinus serotina, Taxodium ascendens, and Taxodium distichum seedlings can reasonably be expected to survive at least one year under a broad range of hydrological and edaphic conditions. With the exception of Taxodium spp., first-year growth for the species of this study can be facilitated by maintaining moist but not inundated conditions. These findings suggest that transfer of organic soils will benefit restoration and creation efforts, and that layering organic soil over mineral soil is more effective than using mineral soils or stockpiled topsoil.     

Root responses of flood-tolerant and flood-sensitive tree species to soil redox conditions

Summary Under controlled rhizotron conditions, roots of Taxodium distichum L., Quercus lyrata Walt, and Q. falcata var. pagodaefolia Ell. were subjected to low soil redox potentials. Root elongation was inhibited at low soil redox potentials. In T. distichum, redox potentials below +200 mV resulted in a significant inhibition of root elongation. In Q. falcata var. pagodaefolia and Q. lyrata, redox potentials below +350 mV resulted in complete cessation of root growth. Studies on root anatomy indicated that low soil redox potenials resulted in a changed cellular structure in the cortex of T. distichum. However, little change was noted in stress roots of oak species. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity in T. distichum roots was approximately doubled compared to control plants, indicating stimulated alcoholic fermentation. In T. distichum, alcoholic fermentation and anatomical changes contribute to flood tolerance but oak species lack these characteristics.     

Ethnobotanical study and conservation status of trees in the district Sargodha,Punjab, Pakistan

Sargodha district is one of the least studied regions of Pakistan regarding its ethnobotanical values. This paper is the first report related to the documentation and conservation status of the tree species in the Sargodha district, and their folk ethnobotanical uses. An interview base survey was conducted in the study area in 2010-2013. The ethnobotanical data revealed the use of 100 tree species (6 gymnosperms, 94 angiosperms) belonging to 77 genera (6 gymnosperms, 71 angiosperms) and 39 families (4 gymnosperms, 35 angiosperms), with the Fabaceae ranking first with 19 tree species, followed by the Moraceae (12 species). Tree species like Aegle marmelos, Butea monosperma, Diospyrus malabarica, Gmelina arborea, Kigelia africana, Manilkara hexandra, Manilkara zapota, Mimusops elengi, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, Putranjiva roxburghii, Terminalia arjuna and Terminalia bellerica are not only unique in their medicinal value but also interesting because of their unusual occurrence here. Thevetia peruviana, Cassia fistula, Celtis australis, Delonix regia, Diospyrus malabarica, Grevillea robusta, Haplophragma adenophylum, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Plumeria rubra, Pterospermum acerifolium, Roystonea regia, Taxodium distichum and Tectona grandis are included among the worth looking ornamental tree species. Capparis decidua, Dalbergia sissoo, Tamarix aphylla, Tamarix dioica, Prosopis cineraria and Ziziphus mauritiana are the most commonly used timber species. Other common ethnobotanical utilization of these trees includes either sheltering or fuel or agricultural uses. Lack of awareness about the potential uses of these species, and particularly ignorance of the concerned authorities, have led to a decline in the population of this precious tree flora. Documentation of this tree flora, and as-sociated indigenous knowledge, can be used as a basis for developing management plans for conservation and sustainable use of this flora in the study area. A well-organized management is critical to restore and conserve this endangered natural resource in the District Sargodha, Pakistan. The immense medicinal and timber value of these tree species make it necessary to promote their conservation to simultaneously alleviate the poverty and improve the socio-economic status of the study area.     

Comparative palynology and wood anatomy of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Taxodium distichum</Emphasis> (L.) Rich. and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Taxodium mucronatum</Emphasis> Ten.

A comparative study of Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich. and Taxodium mucronatum Ten. was carried out on the basis of pollen morphology and wood anatomy by light and scanning electron microscopy. We describe a detailed analysis of the anatomical characteristics of the wood, including the tracheids, ray parenchyma, axial parenchyma and number of cross-field pits. Palynological characters were also studied to reveal the shape, size and ultrastructure of the pollen grains. These studies give taxonomic support for the recognition of T. distichum and T. mucronatum as two different species.     

The effects of water-level fluctuations on weekly tree growth in a southeastern usa swamp

Annual growth of wetland trees has been shown to be related to variations in hydrologic regimes, however the relationship between water level fluctuations and tree growth throughout the growing season has not been documented. In a study of weekly growth patterns of three wetland tree species in a southeastern forested wetland, transfer function modeling was used to examine relationships between tree growth and the weekly changes in water levels and weekly changes in the atmospheric water balance (precipitation minus potential evapotranspiration). An autoregressive-moving average model was fit to each time series of water-level changes (input series), and the selected model was then used to filter the tree-growth (output) time series. Cross-correlations between each input and output time series were examined and significant relationships between weekly changes in water levels and tree diameter were found for Nyssa sylvatica and Taxodium distichum trees growing at sites with periodic shallow flooding. There were no significant relationships between changing water levels and tree growth in areas with permanent flooding or soil saturation. Further, changes in growth of N. sylvatica, N. aquatica, and T. distichum were significantly cross-correlated with weekly changes in the atmospheric water balance at sites with either periodic or permanent flooding.     

Regeneration potential of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Taxodium distichum</Emphasis> swamps and climate change

Seed bank densities respond to factors across local to landscape scales, and therefore, knowledge of these responses may be necessary in forecasting the effects of climate change on the regeneration of species. This study relates the seed bank densities of species of Taxodium distichum swamps to local water regime and regional climate factors at five latitudes across the Mississippi River Alluvial Valley from southern Illinois to Louisiana. In an outdoor nursery setting, the seed banks of twenty-five swamps were exposed to non-flooded (freely drained) or flooded treatments, and the number and species of seeds germinating were recorded from each swamp during one growing season. Based on ANOVA analysis, the majority of dominant species had a higher rate of germination in non-flooded versus flooded treatments. Similarly, an NMS comparison, which considered the local water regime and regional climate of the swamps, found that the species of seeds germinating, almost completely shifted under non-flooded versus flooded treatments. For example, in wetter northern swamps, seeds of Taxodium distichum germinated in non-flooded conditions, but did not germinate from the same seed banks in flooded conditions. In wetter southern swamps, seeds of Eleocharis cellulosa germinated in flooded conditions, but did not germinate in non-flooded conditions. The strong relationship of seed germination and density relationships with local water regime and regional climate variables suggests that the forecasting of climate change effects on swamps and other wetlands needs to consider a variety of interrelated variables to make adequate projections of the regeneration responses of species to climate change. Because regeneration is an important aspect of species maintenance and restoration, climate drying could influence the species distribution of these swamps in the future.      

Hydrochory,seed banks,and regeneration dynamics along the landscape boundaries of a forested wetland

Following the environmental sieve concept, the setting in which the recruitment of Taxodium distichum occurs in, becomes increasingly restrictive from the seed to seedling stage in an impounded forested wetland. Although a wide elevational band of dispersing seed moves across the boundary of a swamp-field in the water sheet, the zone of germination is relegated to that portion of the forested wetland that draws down during the growing season. Seedling recruitment is further restricted to the uppermost zone of the winter water sheet. These patterns are likely applicable to other species of dominant swamp species, e.g., Cephalanthus occidentalis crossed the boundary of a forested wetland and abandonded field in winter flooding (November–December and November–March, respectively) in Buttonland Swamp. The elevation of the boundary was 101.3 m NGVD. While the seeds of at least 40 swamp species were dispersed across the boundary, few viable seeds were dispersed after the winter season. Kriged maps showed seeds of T. distichum and C. occidentalis dispersed in patches in the water depending on the position of the water sheet. Most species of both water- and gravity-dispersed species had a localized pattern of seed distribution (either spherical or exponential) and this indicated that seeds may not be dispersed for great distances in the swamp. Water-dispersed T. distichum and C. occidentalis had larger dispersal ranges (A ₀=225 and 195 m, respectively) than Bidens frondosa and B. discoidea (A ₀=14 and 16 m, respectively). Seed dispersal varied with season depending on the availability of seeds. In Buttonland Swamp, viable seeds typically were dispersed for T. distichum in November–June, and for C. occidentalis in November-July. Low water occurred in August 1993 and high in February 1994 (99.8 and 101.6 m NGVD, respectively). The seed banks along the landscape boundary varied in species composition according to elevation (r ² = 0.996). While the similarity of species richness between water-dispersed seeds and the seed bank at elevations that flooded (during June 1993 through May 1995) was high (10–17%), it was low between water-dispersed seeds and the seed bank at elevations that did not flood (5%). T. distichum seeds had a short germination window in that seeds germinated within a year following their production in zones that were flooded in the winter followed by drawdown during the next growing season. After 1 year, less than 5% of the T. distichum seeds remained viable on the surface of the soil. Germination of T. distichum was confined to specific elevations (above 99.3 but below 101.6 m NGVD) during this study with 4.1% of the seedlings surviving for more than 2 years at a mean of 101.4 m NGVD. All seedlings below this elevation died. To maximize natural regeneration along the boundaries of swamps in abandoned farm fields targeted for restoration, this study suggests a flood pulse regime consisting of high water in the winter to maximize dispersal of live seeds followed by low water in the summer to facilitate seed germination and seedling recruitment. Hydrologic restoration could assist in the natural recovery of damaged wetlands if a seed source exists nearby.     

三峡库区消落带池杉-土壤碳氮磷生态化学计量特征

为探究三峡库区消落带消落期池杉(Taxodium ascendens Brongn., 1833)及其实生土壤C、N、P生态化学计量特征,于2018年7月对忠县消落带植被修复示范基地3个水淹处理(DS、MS、SS)池杉幼林不同组分(枝条、叶片、根系和土壤)的C、N、P三种元素含量及其化学计量比进行测定分析。结果表明:(1)随着水淹时间和强度的增加,池杉株高、冠幅、基径和胸径均受到一定的抑制,但总体生长良好,与其稳定的化学计量比关系紧密。(2)不同水淹处理组的池杉枝条、叶片中C、N、P含量及其比值分别均无显著性差异(P0.05)。同一水淹处理组的N、P含量表现为叶片根系枝条土壤;除枝条P含量外,其他器官组分C、N、P含量均显著高于土壤组分(P0.05)。(3)池杉各器官N/P比值均远低于临界比率(14),表明池杉的生长可能受N元素限制较为严重。(4)池杉与实生土壤的C、N、P元素内稳性整体表现为PCN,比值内稳性表现为C/NN/PC/P,地上部分(枝条、叶片)C、N、P元素及其比值的稳定性较地下部分(根系)强。(5)冗余分析(RDA)结果表明池杉生态化学计量特征及生长指标与土壤性质密切相关。研究表明,在三峡库区消落带水文多变的环境下,池杉能够有效维持体内化学计量的平衡以响应不同的水淹强度,并且生长良好,是三峡库区消落带植被恢复与重建的优势树种。     

水位变化对三峡库区消落带落羽杉营养特征的影响

三峡大坝建成蓄水后,其独特的水位调度节律对水库消落带植物的生境造成巨大干扰。为了解落羽杉在消落带特殊生境下的生理生态过程,探究其水淹耐受机制,在三峡库区消落带植被修复忠县示范基地建立3 a后,对试验样地内种植于消落带海拔175—165 m范围的落羽杉进行叶片、根系样品采集,并调查其生长情况,测定分析落羽杉营养元素含量及其与植株生长和土壤养分间的关系。结果表明:(1)水位变化对适生树种落羽杉营养元素吸收造成了明显影响。随着淹水深度和淹水时间的延长,落羽杉根系能量代谢受阻,根系功能紊乱,营养元素吸收与运输受到抑制,落羽杉N、P、K、Ca、Zn吸收减少;水淹导致土壤中Fe~(2+)、Mn~(2+)含量升高,落羽杉Fe、Mn吸收增加。(2)相关性分析表明,落羽杉株高与N、K、Mg含量呈极显著正相关关系,与P含量呈显著正相关关系,而与Fe、Cu含量呈极显著负相关关系,与Mn含量呈显著负相关关系;落羽杉冠幅与植株N、P、K、Mg含量呈极显著正相关关系,而与Fe、Cu含量呈极显著负相关关系;落羽杉营养元素含量与土壤元素含量无显著相关性。(3)消落带不同海拔落羽杉营养元素的积累量均不低于植物正常生长水平,未见严重的缺素状况。研究结果表明,落羽杉对三峡库区消落带水位变化具有很好的适应能力,能够对水位变化做出积极的响应,平衡各元素的积累量,维持植株正常生长。     

Changes in hydraulic traits of nine vascular plants from different evolutionary lineages北大核心CSCD

Aims As vascular plants evolve from ferns to gymnosperms and angiosperms, their physiological structures and functions are assumed more adaptable to arid environment. Whether the three plant groups from early to late evolved lineages have improved their water transport and use efficiency has been studied on the basis of the morphological structure of leaf veins and stomata.Moreover, the water transportation rate was directly measured in the angiosperms. Therefore, we measured structural and functional traits related to water relations in all three plant groups simultaneously, to test the hypothesis on the evolutionary process of plant hydraulics. Methods We selected three species in each group grown in South China Botanical Garden, Guangzhou, China, including ferns (Dicranopteris pedata, Cyclosorus parasiticus and Blechnum orientale), gymnosperms (Podocarpus macrophyllus, Podocarpus nagi and Taxodium distichum) and angiosperms (Manglietia fordiana var. hainanensis, Sindora tonkinensis and Bauhinia purpurea). Important findings Sapwood and leaf specific hydraulic conductivities (KS and KL, respectively), and leaf conductance (Kleaf) significantly increased from ferns, gymnosperms to angiosperms. However, no significant trends were found in transpiration rate (E) and intrinsic water use efficiency. Meanwhile, neither the size and density of stomata nor wood density showed significant difference among three plant groups. The hydraulic functional traits (KS, KL and Kleaf) had significantly positive correlations with each other, but had no relationships with the two measured structural traits. Phylogenetic independent contrasts analyses showed that the coordination between KS and Kleaf, and between KS and E were independent of the phylogeny. Based on the nine vascular species, this study demonstrated that water transport related traits are improved as vascular plants evolved, and the co-evolution between water transport and transpiration traits were identified. For further study, it is necessary to consolidate our data with investigations of more detailed water-transport structures in more species from different evolutionary lineages. © 2018 Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology.
