地下水埋深和季节性干旱对古尔班通古特沙漠南缘梭梭生理和生长的影响

干旱区因降水稀少,地下水成为荒漠植被重要且稳定的水源。选取古尔班通古特沙漠南缘建群种植物梭梭（Haloxylon ammodendron）为研究对象,通过测量不同地下水埋深（3.45、9.08、10.47、13.27 m和15.91 m）下生长季前期和后期同化枝生理生化指标（黎明水势、正午水势、含水量、氯离子、钠离子、脯氨酸和非结构性碳水化合物）和生长与形态特征（生长速率和胡伯尔值）,旨在认识荒漠植物对地下水埋深增加和季节性干旱的响应特征和调节适应机制。结果表明：（1）梭梭应对地下水埋深变化的生理调节对策,是采取先降低后升高黎明前同化枝水势、降低新枝形成期同化枝生长速率、增大胡伯尔值和积累非结构性碳水化合物的策略;（2）梭梭应对生长季大气干旱的生理调节对策,是通过降低黎明前同化枝水势、维持较高胡伯尔值、积累钠离子和消耗淀粉抵御季节性干旱;（3）在大气干旱与地下水水文干旱交互作用下,梭梭是采取降低正午同化枝水势、维持较高的同化枝含水量和积累可溶性糖的生态策略。综上所述,梭梭在响应地下水水文干旱和季节性大气干旱的生理特征间存在差异。研究结果丰富了水文和大气干旱对梭梭生理和生长影响的认知,可以为基于地下水资源管理的干旱区荒漠植被保育提供参考。

人工环境下两种梭梭幼苗光合水分关系的比较研究

在人工环境下测定了不同辐射强度,不同温度和不同水分状况下梭梭幼苗和白梭梭幼苗的净光合速率和蒸腾速率,以及水分胁迫下两种梭梭同化枝水势和含水量。实验结果表明：（１）两种梭梭光合作用和蒸腾作用对辐射强度的依赖是不同的,梭梭净光合速率和蒸腾速率随辐射强度的增加而上升的趋势明显低于白梭梭。两种梭梭幼苗在无光照对仍维持较高的蒸腾速率。（２）白梭梭的平均蒸腾系数低于梭梭,证明白梭梭能比梭梭更有效地利用水分。（     

不同年代梭梭同化枝解剖结构特征及其对土壤条件的响应

叶片是植物与外界环境进行能量、水气交换的主要器官,对环境变化较敏感且可塑性较大。该研究以民勤不同年代梭梭同化枝为研究对象,采用石蜡切片法,分析不同年代梭梭同化枝解剖结构变异特点及其与土壤条件的关系,旨在探讨梭梭同化枝在干旱环境的生态适应机制。结果表明:(1)除角质层和导管孔径,不同年代梭梭同化枝解剖结构指标差异显著(P<0.05),变异系数变化范围为5.19%~21.53%。(2)随着生长年限的增加,梭梭同化枝直径变小,其他解剖结构指标占半径比例呈先增加后降低趋势。(3)土壤养分含量随年代的增加表现为不断降低的趋势,土壤含水率则因地点不同表现出较大差异。(4)角质层、栅栏组织与速效磷含量呈显著负相关(P<0.05);维管柱直径与电导率呈显著负相关(P<0.05)。研究认为,梭梭同化枝解剖结构与土壤条件存在密切关系,通过改变叶片结构更好地适应干旱荒漠环境,以期为该区梭梭资源的保护与利用提供理论依据。     

五种C4荒漠植物光合器官中含晶细胞的比较分析

为了探讨荒漠植物适应干旱环境的机理,选择光合器官发生很大变化的5种C4荒漠植物进行了解剖结构的对比研究。结果表明,这5种植物中含晶细胞的数量、大小、形态和分布位置等存在差异。白梭梭（Haloxylon persicum）和梭梭（H.ammodendron）的同化枝普遍具有含晶细胞;沙拐枣（Calligonum mongolicum）的含晶细胞很少,一般只分布在贮水组织或靠近栅栏组织处;木本猪毛菜（Salsola arbuscula）的含晶细胞也不多,主要分布在栅栏组织和表皮细胞之间;猪毛菜（S.collina）的含晶细胞更少,仅在贮水组织中偶尔可见晶簇。比较梭梭、白梭梭和沙拐枣同化枝不同部位的解剖结构发现,梭梭同化枝基部含晶细胞最多,中部次之,顶部最少;白梭梭同化枝项部的含晶细胞数量较多,中部及基部较少;沙拐枣同化枝顶部与基部的粘液细胞较多,中部较少,基部几乎没有栅栏组织,而其维管组织较为发达。综合晶体的酸碱溶解性及硝酸银组化分析结果,并参照能谱仪的分析结果得知,梭梭、白梭梭、沙拐枣和木本猪毛菜的叶片或同化枝中所含晶体的主要成分为草酸钙。通过比较解剖结构发现,梭梭和白梭梭的同化枝中含晶细胞最多,其它3种植物的同化器官中含晶细胞较少,而沙拐枣同化枝中有粘液细胞存在。     

根深决定不同个体大小梭梭对夏季干旱生理响应的差异

理解干旱与树木个体发育阶段或大小之间的相互作用关系是一个重要的优先研究方向,因为依赖于个体大小的特定死亡率分布格局对生态系统的结构和功能将产生重要的影响。以广泛分布于古尔班通古特沙漠南缘的主要建群种梭梭（Haloxylon ammodendron）为研究对象,通过测定越夏生长期间不同个体大小梭梭黎明前同化枝水势（Ψ_pd）、压力-容积（P-V）曲线、最大气孔导度（G_s）、叶绿素荧光（F_v/F_m）,调查不同个体大小梭梭根系分布特征和根深,将越夏生长期间土壤水分状况、植物生理性状与根深相结合,分析不同大小梭梭对干旱胁迫的响应差异。结果表明：（1）夏季干旱胁迫显著降低了梭梭幼苗生理性状的特征值：同成年植株相比,梭梭幼苗黎明前同化枝水势（Ψ_pd）、PSⅡ反应中心最大光化学效率（F_v/F_m）、饱和膨压渗透势（π₁₀₀）、膨压消失点渗透势（Ψ_TLP）显著降低;（2）梭梭生理性状与根深之间存在线性关系,根深决定不同大小梭梭的水分状况（Ψ_pd）进而主导了越夏生长期间的其他生理性状表达（F_v/F_m、π₁₀₀、Ψ_TLP）;（3）不同大小的梭梭对干旱胁迫的响应差异是植物根系分布特征和生境相互作用的结果,根深在梭梭应对夏季干旱胁迫中起重要作用。总之,梭梭幼苗根系发育不完全（浅根系）,只能利用降水带来的有限的浅层土壤水,对干旱胁迫响应敏感;而成年梭梭植株能最大限度的利用深层土壤水分,减少表层土壤干旱对其产生的不利影响。     

古尔班通古特沙漠梭梭与白梭梭利用降雨的差异

采用模拟降雨的方法,对梭梭和白梭梭的降雨再分配过程进行了研究,并对梭梭与白梭梭0～100cm的浅层根系分布进行了调查。回归分析发现,梭梭与白梭梭茎流率、穿透率、截留率与降雨量之间呈显著对数关系。在相同的降雨强度下,梭梭与白梭梭之间降雨分配无显著差异,但在不同降雨强度下梭梭和白梭梭各自的降雨再分配存在显著差异。20mm·h-1的降雨强度有利于产生更多的茎流,梭梭和白梭梭茎流率在降雨强度20mm·h-1的情况下是30mm·h-1的情况下的2.3倍和2.9倍。白梭梭根系主要分布在土壤表层,0～60cm的土壤深度内侧根数占0～100cm内总侧根数的86%。白梭梭在0～20、20～40、40～60cm土壤深度的水平侧根极显著高于梭梭,分别是梭梭的10.0倍、9.6倍和10.9倍。白梭梭水平侧根伸展距离极显著大于梭梭,白梭梭根系冠幅半径为7.1m,梭梭为2.3m。综上所述,白梭梭主要通过植株特殊形态结构增加茎流等降雨再分配和地下根系协同作用,来充分的利用降雨;梭梭浅层根系分布稀少,故其利用降雨的能力十分有限,而更趋向于利用地下水。     

土壤水分和氮磷营养对小麦根系生理特性的调节作用

研究结果表明：在土壤相对含水量(SRWC)为40％～70％范围内,随着水分亏缺加重,小麦根系生长受到限制,根系比表面积(RA)、根水势(RΨw)明显降低,根呼吸(RP)作用加强,根长(RL)变短,根系干物重(RDW)减少;随着土壤水分趋于良好,RΨw明显增加,Rp作用显著降低,SRWC在54％～57％时RA最高,RDW在SRWC为55％～62％之间时最大,而SRWC在55％上下时RL达最长,表明土壤水分趋于轻度干旱有利根系下扎和RA的提高,土壤水分趋于良好有利于根量增长。氮磷营养对根系生理特性具有明显作用。磷营养可显著提高RA,RΨw,RL,RDW,降低Rp,在较为严重干旱条件下,磷对RA,RP,RΨw,RL的调节效果更好。氮素营养对小麦根系生理特性的调节效果与磷相比具有明显的差别。土壤严重干旱,氮引起RΨw的明显下降,为负效应;轻度干旱氮对RΨw无明显作用;在水分良好条件下,氮对RΨw具有显著的正向调节效果。氮营养可使Rp作用明显加强。随着SRWC的提高,增施氮肥可导致RDW的显著增加。小麦RL对氮的反应不敏感。磷除作为一种营养物质促进作物根系生长发育外,在水分胁迫条件下,磷可明显改善植株体内的水分关系,增强对干旱缺水环境的适应能力,提高作物抗旱性。

两种盐生植物解剖结构的生态适应性

结合对研究区域土壤水分和盐分的分析,对3种不同生境下梭梭和多枝柽柳两种荒漠盐生植物光合器官解剖结构的研究表明:梭梭(Haloxylon ammodendron)依靠当年生绿色同化枝进行光合作用,且同化枝具有发达的贮水组织,是典型的超旱生稀盐盐生植物;同化枝的栅栏组织富含叶绿体,是C_4高光效植物,提高了植物的光合作用效率,进一步增强了梭梭对荒漠干旱、盐渍化环境的适应能力.多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)同化枝及叶的表皮上均具下陷的气孔和泌盐腺,是旱生泌盐盐生植物;叶为全栅型,且同化枝具有发达的维管柱,占同化枝直径的60%以上,此外,其同化枝及叶的表皮细胞外凸形成乳状突,是一种环境胁迫指示结构.这些特征均能说明梭梭和多枝柽柳具有很好的抗旱、耐盐碱能力,且作为荒漠环境的优势树种,它们对荒漠生态系统的恢复和重建有积极意义.     

Comparative Studies on Relation of Photosynthesis to Water Status of Two Species of Haloxylon Under Controlled Environments

The net photosynthetic rate,transpiration rate and water content of assimilating shoots of Haloscyion ammodendron and H. persicum were measured under different radiation intensities, temperatures changes and different water status. Their water potential under different water status was also measured. The experimental results showed. (1) The dependence of photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate on radiation intensit in the two species of Haloscylon. The increase of net photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate of H. arnrnodendron depending on radiation intensity was lower than that of H. persicurn. Two species of Haloxylon also maintained high transpiration rate under dark. (2) The average transpiration rate of H. persicurn was lower than H. arnrnodendron,showing that H. persicurn utilized water more efficiently than H. arnrnodendron. (3)The optimal temperature of photosynthesis of H. arnrnodendron was 24–32℃ and the optimal temperature of water utilization of H. arnrnodendron was 23. 5–25℃. (4) The water potential of H. amrnodendron was lower than –3.5 MPa whereas that of H. persicum was lower than –2.8MPa indicating that the two species of Haloscylon were under severe water stress ,and would lead to permanent wilting of their assimilating shoots.

Effect of salinity on seed germination,ion content and photosynthesis of cotyledons in halophytes or xerophyte growing in Central Asia

Aims We investigated the impact of salinity on seed germination, chlorophyll content, chloroplast structure and photosynthesis of the green embryos in desiccated seeds of the xerophyte Haloxylon persicum, xero-halophyte Haloxylon ammodendron and euhalophyte Suaeda physophora.Methods Seeds of H. persicum, H. ammodendron and S. physophora were collected from natural environment in Fukang, Xinjiang province. Pretreatment with 700 mM NaCl was carried out to stimulate the natural 'seed priming'; we analyzed the joint effect of salinity and different species on germination physiology and cotyledonal structure and photosynthetic function changes during germination and recovery stage.Important findings We found that seeds did not suffer ion toxicity for the two halophytes H. ammodendron and S. physophora, as evidenced by the high final germination after ungerminated seeds pretreated with 700 mM NaCl were transferred to distilled water, but the final germination of the xerophyte H. persicum was significantly lower than that of control. The Na + concentration in embryos increased under salinity for all species, while K + concentration decreased by salinity only for H. persicum and H. ammodendron, i.e. the concentration of K + in embryos of H. persicum and H. ammodendron decreased by 36% and 46%, respectively. For all species, whether dry intact seeds or cotyledons of dry seeds imbibed in deionized water and NaCl solution, had high chlorophyll content. Treatment with NaCl also caused chloroplast thylakoids to swell and chlorophyll content to decrease in seeds of H. persicum, but no significant change was observed in the more salt-tolerant species S. physophora and H. ammodendron. Fluorescence measurement showed that 700 mM NaCl decreased the Fv/Fm ratio of cotyledons in seeds for all species, especially for H. persicum and H. ammodendron. Photosynthetic oxygen releasing was detected from the seeds that were moistened with distilled water and 700 mM NaCl for 6 or 24 h and from the seeds that were initially moistened with 700 mM NaCl in darkness for 10 days, then transferred to distilled water for another 6 and 24 h. The results indicated that the chlorophyll in cotyledon of desiccated seed had photosynthetic function in early germination stage, even under high-saline condition. In addition, the photosynthesis of chlorophyll in the embryonic cotyledons of desiccated seeds during germination was similar to that in leaves of young seedlings for all species. In conclusion, the chloroplasts of the two halophytes were more salt resistant compared with the xerophyte H. persicum. The photosynthetic function of chlorophyll in cotyledons of mature seeds may be ecologically important for seedling development in early stage for plants growing in extremely saline or arid environments.     

Strategies for adaptation of Suaeda physophora, Haloxylon ammodendron and Haloxylon persicum to a saline environment during seed-germination stage

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Germination is very important for plant establishment in arid regions. The strategies taken by halophytes during the seed germination stage to adapt to saline environments in an arid zone were investigated in Suaeda physophora (euhalophyte), Haloxylon ammodendron (xero-halophyte) and Haloxylon persicum (xerophyte). METHODS: Seeds of S. physophora, H. ammodendron and H. persicum were exposed to a range of iso-osmotic NaCl and PEG solutions. Seed germination in, and recovery germination from, high NaCl were recorded. The effects of iso-osmotic NaCl and PEG on seed water uptake and changes in ion content were measured. In addition, the structure of seeds and Na+ distribution in the seed coat and embryos of dry seeds were investigated. KEY RESULTS: The relative increase in fresh weight of germinating seeds was markedly reduced in -2.24 MPa PEG compared with that in -2.24 MPa NaCl, while the opposite trend was found in concentration of K+ during the initial 9 h for all species. Haloxylon ammodendron and S. physophora had a higher recovery germination from -3.13 MPa NaCl compared with H. persicum. Seeds of all species had no endosperm. More Na+ was compartmentalized in the seed coats of the two halophytic species compared with that in the xerophyte H. persicum. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of NaCl on seed germination was due to both osmotic stress and ion toxicity for the three species. High soil salinity and a high content of Na+ in seeds may induce more seeds to remain ungerminated in S. physophora and H. ammodendron. Morphological structure and adaptation to salinity during seed germination may determine the geographical distribution of H. ammodendron and S. physophora in certain saline regions.     

脱水胁迫和光合日变化对梭梭和白梭梭叶绿素荧光参数的影响

采用IMAGING-PAM叶绿素荧光法,测定了宁夏地区种植的梭梭和白梭梭在离体脱水胁迫和光合日变化下的叶绿素荧光参数变化,以研究肉苁蓉寄主梭梭和白梭梭对地理环境的生态适应机制.结果表明： 梭梭具有较高的光合作用性能,其光合电子传递活性(F_v/F_m)、光能转化效率(q_P)和表观电子传递效率(ETR)等指标均高于白梭梭.离体脱水胁迫48 h,梭梭同化枝含水率及叶绿素荧光参数各指标均显著高于白梭梭.梭梭和白梭梭叶绿素荧光参数日变化差异较大,且呈现“V”型变化趋势.推测梭梭对水分及光照等环境因子变化的适应能力较白梭梭强,地理分布较广;白梭梭因受水分及光照等因子限制,地理分布较窄.     

民勤绿洲人工梭梭林退化现状、特征与恢复对策

民勤全县共有人工梭梭林近3．5万hm^2,占人工林总面积的51．5％,在民勤固沙林中占主导地位。但目前除水库与环河周围外,人工梭梭林均出现不同程度的退化现象,并表现为建群种梭梭光合强度减弱、群落盖度降低、梭梭种群优势度下降、林地土壤含水率下降、组成群落的物种多样性减少、地表土壤结皮破坏、风蚀作用增强等特征。梭梭林的退化,直接威胁到民勤绿洲的生存与发展,其恢复与重建成为当前一项十分重要而紧迫的任务,为此提出控制梭梭林密度、人工集雨、布设粘土或新型材料沙障、引进与培育抗旱新品种、特殊区域应用喷灌技术补水、补充水源不断恢复民勤地区的地下水位等措施,以期达到恢复与维持梭梭群落稳定发展的目的。
