黄土高原常用造林树种水分利用特征

在适宜土壤水分、中度干旱和严重干旱3种土壤水分条件下研究了黄土高原干旱、半干旱地区常用的人工造林树种84k杨树（Populus spp．）、刺槐（Robinia pseudoacacia）、沙棘（Hippophae rhamnoides）和油松（Pinus tabulaeformis）苗木生长及水分利用特征。结果显示,干旱胁迫使各树种成活率、生长速率、光合速率均显著下降;84k杨树和刺槐单叶水分利用率（WUE）在适宜水分下最高,沙棘的在中度干旱下最高;在中度干旱下,4个树种的总水分利用率最高。而严重干旱下最低。无论干旱与否,4个树种中沙棘生长速率最高。在中度干旱条件下,4个树种均可良好生长,而严重干旱下生长均受到显著抑制,其中84k杨树受影响最大;4个树种中沙棘和油松的耐旱性较强,同时油松在各种土壤水分下其生长速度和干物质生产均显著低于其它3个树种;刺槐和84k杨树的耗水量、生物量及水分利用率在3种土壤水分下均显著高于沙棘和油松,84k杨树和刺槐均属于高耗水树种;研究结果表明。84k杨树和刺槐不适宜大面积栽植在黄土高原缺水地区,仅适合栽植在阴坡、沟道等适宜水分条件下。沙棘和油松则适宜栽植在土壤水分较低的地区,如阳坡、峁顶等立地条件上。     

不同干旱土壤条件下杨树的耗水规律及水分利用效率研究

 在适宜土壤水分（70%θf）,中度干旱（55%θf）和严重干旱（40%θf）3种土壤水分条件下研究杨树（Populus simonii）的耗水特性和水分利用特征。结果表明,随着土壤含水量的下降,杨树叶水势、相对含水量(RWC)、生长速率、光合速率及单叶水分利用效率（WUE）显著下降;在适宜水分和中度干旱条件下,杨树的快速生长和干物质迅速积累时期主要集中在5～6月,严重干旱下快速生长时期和干物质积累主要集中在5月;杨树总耗水量和总生物量的大小顺序为：适宜水分＞中度干旱＞严重干旱;WUE则表现出中度干旱下最高,严重干旱下最低;杨树在适宜水分下的日、旬、月耗水量明显高于中度干旱和严重干旱处理;杨树在适宜水分、中度干旱和严重干旱条件下的最高耗水月分别在6～7月,最高旬耗水量分别在7月中旬、上旬和6下旬;在中度水分亏缺和严重水分亏缺下的最高耗水日出现的时间比适宜水分下的最高耗水日提前1～2个月以上。一天中的最大耗水高峰随着杨树生育期和土壤含水量的不同而有明显差异。研究结果表明,杨树不具备耐旱植物的特征,因此在黄土高原缺水地区不适宜大面积栽植,只能用于水分条件较好的立地条件下造林。     

不同土壤水分下刺槐和油松的生理特征

在适宜土壤水分(70%θf)、中度干旱(55%θf)和严重干旱(40%θf)3种土壤水分条件下研究了黄土高原常见造林树种刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia L.)和油松(Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.)的生长及水分利用特性.结果表明:干旱胁迫使2树种的成活率、干物质累积和光合速率均显著下降.在适宜水分下刺槐的单叶水分利用率(WUE)最高,严重干旱下最低.刺槐和油松的枝条快速生长期主要集中在3-6月,在中度干旱条件,2个树种均可良好生长;在严重干旱下2个树种的生长均受到显著抑制,但刺槐受影响较大,油松受影响较小.在3种土壤水分条件下刺槐耗水量、生物量及水分利用率均显著高于油松.2树种在中度干旱下的总WUE最高,严重干旱下最低.刺槐属于高耗水树种,油松属于低耗水树种,油松的耐旱性强于刺槐.研究结果表明,刺槐在黄土高原缺水地区不适宜大面积栽植,只能用于水分条件较好的立地条件下造林.油松应尽可能在含水量较高的阴坡或沟坡地带造林.     

杨树生理生态指标与环境因子之间相关性分析

为了揭示杨树生理生态指标与环境因子间综合复杂的关系,找出重要指标,在适宜土壤水分、中度干旱和严重干旱3种土壤水分条件下研究水分胁迫对杨树生理生长变化的影响;在人工控制条件下,研究叶片净光合速率(Pn)、叶片气孔导度(Gs)随光合有效辐射(PAR)和CO2浓度变化的反应关系;在中度干旱条件下,通过直接相关和综合相关分析,揭示各指标间相互影响的复杂关系。结果分析表明,水分胁迫对杨树生理生长变化有显著影响,是主要因子。在中度干旱条件下,对杨树有重要影响的因子依次为:光合有效辐射(PAR)、CO2浓度、大气温度(Ta);能够反映杨树生理生态特性的重要指标依次为:耗水量、蒸腾速率(Tr)、呼吸速率(R)和净光合速率(Pn).由此获得基本结论:杨树的生理生长变化受土壤水分、光合有效辐射(PAR)、大气CO2浓度和大气温度等多个环境因子的综合影响极其显著,其生理生长变化特征也宜采用多个指标来反应。直接相关分析不足以反映它们间的复杂关系,综合分析优于直接相关分析,分析方法科学合理,值得研究推广。     

土壤干旱对沙棘苗木生长及水分利用的影响

研究了土壤干旱条件下盆栽沙棘苗木生长、光合和水分关系的变化。结果表明,同样环境条件下,蒸腾速率随干旱胁迫程度加重而降低,而蒸腾日进程差异不大,均为单峰曲线,峰值出现在11：00;轻、中度干旱胁迫下沙棘叶含水量、水势、渗透势、膨压下降幅度较小,光合速率、侧枝生长速率保持在较高水平,能维持基本的生长量,表现出耐旱植物的生理特征;重度干旱胁迫使上述指标下降较显著,且长时间胁迫后,33．3％沙棘幼苗死亡。     

滴灌与沟灌栽培杨树人工林土壤水分动态与生产力

在北京大兴区永定河故道沙地上对9年生杨树人工林进行滴灌和沟灌栽培,于根系主要分布土层(20、40、60、80 cm)布设土壤水分传感器并利用智能采集器实时监测土壤含水率,分析不同灌溉措施下的土壤水分动态变化及杨树人工林生产力。结果表明: 单次有效的滴灌和沟灌后,沿树行形成的湿润体垂直深度分别为72和143 cm,湿润体横切面的面积分别为0.41和2.71 m²;灌溉量分别为79.20和776.47 m³·hm^-2,后者为前者的9.8倍,灌溉后杨树吸收根主要分布土层(0～40 cm)的土壤含水率下降到水分轻度亏缺临界值(土壤含水率为田间持水量的70%)的历时均为11 d左右。2019年4—10月,沟灌5、7、9月3次总灌溉量为2329.41 m³·hm^-2;滴灌18次,总灌溉量为1425.60 m³·hm^-2。沟灌下杨树人工林土壤水分中度亏缺(土壤含水率低于田间持水量的60%)累计天数达109 d,而滴灌下的杨树人工林土壤水分始终未发生中度亏缺。滴灌下杨树人工林蓄积年生长量为38.92 m³·hm^-2,是沟灌(25.43 m³·hm^-2)的1.5倍,表明不同灌溉措施下杨树人工林生产力差异显著。     

土壤干旱对辽东栎、大叶细裂槭幼苗生长及水分利用的影响

在盆栽条件下研究了不同土壤干旱条件对辽东栎和大叶细裂槭幼苗生长及水分利用率的影响。结果表明,随干旱胁迫程度加剧,两树种叶水势均下降,随胁迫时间延长水势又有一回升趋势,显示出树种自身的调节能力,大叶细裂槭调节水势的能力强于辽东栎。叶水势与叶片含水量关系密切,水势的高低决定叶片水分状况,水分含量又决定了幼苗的生长状况。大叶细裂槭新梢在5、6月增长增粗迅速,而辽东栎在4月、5月生长迅速及叶面积扩展快,适宜水分下增粗可持续至9月份。不同土壤水分处理下两树种水分利用效率差异明显。在中度干旱下整体WUE有所上升,尤其是辽东栎提高约10％;大叶细裂槭的根冠比在重度干旱下可达2以上,说明它对干旱的适应性很强,在严重干旱胁迫下也能长期维持生命,成活率高于辽东栎,接近100％,可见其适应性强于辽东栎。     

CO2浓度升高和干旱对春小麦生长和水分利用的生态效应

利用开顶式气室对春小麦进行了一个生长季的CO2倍增盆栽实验,土壤水分控制为3个水平(分别为田间持水量(FWC)的80%、60%、40%).结果显示,CO2倍增显著提高小麦的光合速率.但在相同的CO2测定浓度下, 生长在加倍CO2浓度下的小麦的光合速率比当前CO2浓度下小麦低22%.高CO2浓度显著促进小麦生长,相对增加幅度在适宜水分下最大,为14.8%.80%FWC水分条件下高CO2使植株的干重/高度比增加15.7%.高CO2条件下,小麦的蒸腾速率降低、累积耗水量减少、水分利用效率(WUE)提高,WUE的提高幅度在适宜水分下最大,为30%.干旱(40%FWC)使小麦地上干重和WUE在当前CO2条件下分别降低72%和19%,加倍CO2条件下降低幅度较大,分别为76%和23%.根据以上结果得出结论: (1) 高CO2条件下, 小麦的光合速率、地上生物量和水分利用效率提高;(2) 植物长期生长于高CO2浓度导致光合能力降低;(3) 高CO2对植物侧向生长的促进作用大于垂直生长,即高CO2下植株将相对粗壮;(4) 高CO2对植物的生态效应依赖于土壤水分,在适宜水分下相对较大;(5) 在未来高CO2条件下,干旱引起的减产和水分利用效率减低幅度将会更大.     

辽东栎(Quercus liaotungensis)幼苗对土壤干旱的生理生态适应性研究

用盆栽方法人工模拟土壤干旱条件,研究辽东栎天然萌生幼苗对土壤干旱的生理生态反应.结果表明:随土壤含水量的减少,辽东栎幼苗的耗水量明显下降,耗水高峰期提前,在重度干旱下耗水峰形由单峰变为双峰.在干旱胁迫前期辽东栎叶水势变化较平缓,后期则急剧下降,尤其在严重干旱下,水势变化趋势呈"M"形,叶片含水量较稳定,对土壤水分含量变化不敏感.在中度干旱下辽东栎叶片的持水力有所增加.辽东栎属低蒸腾速率树种,平均仅为2.98μg·cm-2·s-1.不同生长季节蒸腾速率日进程不同,8月份的蒸腾速率日进程在适宜水分下是双峰曲线,在中度干旱下是单峰曲线,重度干旱下蒸腾速率一直维持在较低水平,呈波状起伏;9月份的蒸腾速率下降近50%,仍有明显的单峰(适宜水分下)和双峰(中度干旱下).对蒸腾速率与环境因子的简单相关分析表明:在适宜水分和中度干旱下,光照强度对辽东栎幼苗蒸腾速率影响最大,在重度干旱下,大气温度对辽东栎的蒸腾速率影响较大.随土壤含水量减少,辽东栎幼苗的蒸腾速率在中度干旱时上升,重度干旱时急剧下降,光合速率、瞬时水分利用效率、羧化效率均下降;地上部生长受抑,根冠比加大,WUE1下降,而WUE2在中度干旱下升高,在重度干旱下下降.其幼苗不耐高温强光,高温强光对其光合和蒸腾有抑制作用,特别是在土壤严重干旱下表现更明显.     

CO2浓度升高和干旱对春小麦生长和水分利用的生态效应

利用开顶式气室对春小麦进行了一个生长季的CO2倍增盆栽实验,土壤水分控制为3个水平（分别为田间持水量（FWC）的80％,60％,40％）。结果显示,CO2倍增显提高小麦的光合速率。但在相同的CO2测定浓度下,生长在加倍CO2浓度下的小麦的光合速率比当前CO2浓度下小麦低22％。高CO2浓度显促进小麦生长,相对增加幅度在适宜水分下最大为14．8％。80％FWC水分条件下高CO2使植株的干重／高度比增加15．7％,高CO2条件下,小麦的蒸腾速率降低,累积耗水量减少,水分利用效率（WUE）提高,WUE的提高幅度在适宜水分下最大,为30％。干旱（40％FWC）使小麦地上干重和WUE在当前CO2条件下分别降低72％和19％,加倍CO2条件下降低幅度较大,分别为76％和23％。根据以上结果得出结论：（1）高CO2条件下,小麦的光合速率,地上生物量和水分利用效率提高;（2）植物长期生长于高CO2浓度导致光合能力降低;（3）高CO2对植物侧向生长的促进作用大于垂直生长,即高CO2下植株将相对粗壮;（4）高CO2对植物的生态效应依赖于土壤水分,在适宜水分下相对较大;（4）在未来高CO2条件下,干旱引起的减产和水分利用效率减低幅度将会更大。     

干旱对苗木萌芽期水分状况、ABA含量及萌芽特性的影响

 采用4种常见造林树种沙棘（Hippophae rhamnoides L.）、油松（Pinus tabulaeformis）、刺槐（Robinia pseudoacacia L.）和杨树(Populus simonii),研究水分胁迫下苗木移栽后萌芽过程中体内水分状况与ABA累积关系,探讨干旱使苗木致死的生理学机制。结果表明,土壤干旱导致苗木组织含水量、芽体生长速率、萌芽率及成活率显著下降;各树种在萌芽过程中其芽体和韧皮部中的脱落酸（ABA）含量随土壤干旱程度的加重而升高,并与苗体组织含水量、萌芽率及成活率呈显著负相关;抗旱性强的沙棘和油松芽体和韧皮组织中ABA绝对含量比杨树和刺槐高5～10倍左右;经统计分析发现,4种苗木的萌芽速度、萌芽率以及移栽成活率均与韧皮部的组织含水量显著相关。     

Genotypic variation in transpiration of coppiced poplar during the third rotation of a short‐rotation bio‐energy culture

The productivity of short‐rotation coppice (SRC) plantations with poplar (Populus spp.) strongly depends on soil water availability, which limits the future development of its cultivation, and makes the study of the transpirational water loss particularly timely under the ongoing climate change (more frequent drought and floods). This study assesses the transpiration at different scales (leaf, tree and stand) of four poplar genotypes belonging to different species and from a different genetic background grown under an SRC regime. Measurements were performed for an entire growing season during the third year of the third rotation in a commercial scale multigenotype SRC plantation in Flanders (Belgium). Measurements at leaf level were performed on specific days with a contrasted evaporative demand, temperature and incoming shortwave radiation and included stomatal conductance, stem and leaf water potential. Leaf transpiration and leaf hydraulic conductance were obtained from these measurements. To determine the transpiration at the tree level, single‐stem sap flow using the stem heat balance (SHB) method and daily stem diameter variations were measured during the entire growing season. Sap flow‐based canopy transpiration (E_c), seasonal dry biomass yield, and water use efficiency (WUE; g aboveground dry matter/kg water transpired) of the four poplar genotypes were also calculated. The genotypes had contrasting physiological responses to environmental drivers and to soil conditions. Sap flow was tightly linked to the phenological stage of the trees and to the environmental variables (photosynthetically active radiation and vapor pressure deficit). The total E_c for the 2016 growing season was of 334, 350, 483 and 618 mm for the four poplar genotypes, Bakan, Koster, Oudenberg and Grimminge, respectively. The differences in physiological traits and in transpiration of the four genotypes resulted in different responses of WUE.     

Drought responses of conifers in ecotone forests of northern Arizona: tree ring growth and leaf δ<Superscript>13</Superscript>C

We sought to understand differences in tree response to meteorological drought among species and soil types at two ecotone forests in northern Arizona, the pinyon-juniper woodland/ponderosa pine ecotone, and the higher elevation, wetter, ponderosa pine/mixed conifer ecotone. We used two approaches that provide different information about drought response: the ratio of standardized radial growth in wet years to dry years (W:D) for the period between years 1950 and 2000 as a measure of growth response to drought, and ¹³C in leaves formed in non-drought (2001) and drought (2002) years as a measure of change in water use efficiency (WUE) in response to drought. W:D and leaf ¹³C response to drought for Pinus edulis and P. ponderosa did not differ for trees growing on coarse-texture soils derived from cinders compared with finer textured soils derived from flow basalts or sedimentary rocks. P. ponderosa growing near its low elevation range limit at the pinyon-juniper woodland/ponderosa pine ecotone had a greater growth response to drought (higher W:D) and a larger increase in WUE in response to drought than co-occurring P. edulis growing near its high elevation range limit. P. flexilis and Pseudotsuga menziesii growing near their low elevation range limit at the ponderosa pine/mixed conifer ecotone had a larger growth response to drought than co-occurring P. ponderosa growing near its high elevation range limit. Increases in WUE in response to drought were similar for all species at the ponderosa pine/mixed conifer ecotone. Low elevation populations of P. ponderosa had greater growth response to drought than high-elevation populations, whereas populations had a similar increase in WUE in response to drought. Our findings of different responses to drought among co-occurring tree species and between low- and high-elevation populations are interpreted in the context of drought impacts on montane coniferous forests of the southwestern USA.     

海拔高度对中国沙棘水碳代谢和生长的影响——以关帝山区为例

海拔是影响中国沙棘自然分布和生长的的重要环境因子，水分代谢和碳代谢的平衡是植物存活和生长的基础，研究海拔对中国沙棘的水碳代谢和生长的影响有利于全面了解中国沙棘对海拔高度的适应性及其生理机制。以山西西部关帝山地区野生中国沙棘为研究对象，测定了海拔1100—2100 m的中国沙棘雌株在6月和8月的小枝正午水势、枝条导水损失率、枝条导管直径和导管密度、光合作用、不同部位非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)浓度，同时测定了不同海拔沙棘的株高和冠幅。结果表明：随着海拔的升高，6月和8月的土壤含水量均呈增加趋势；小枝正午水势先升高后降低；枝条导水损失率在6月先降低后升高；随着海拔的升高沙棘的导管直径没有显著性变化，但导管密度、枝条最大比导水率、叶面积呈现先升高后降低的趋势。随着海拔的升高6月和8月光合速率均呈增加趋势；根和叶NSC含量没有较大幅度变化；随着海拔高度的增加中国沙棘树高和冠幅均呈现先增加后降低的趋势。以上结果表明：低海拔(1100—1300 m)和高海拔(1900—2100 m)中国沙棘生长均受到一定程度的抑制，在低海拔主要受干旱胁迫的影响，高海拔对中国沙棘的生长的抑制作用体现在低温引起的水分...     

Response of stem sap flow and leaf photosynthesis in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tamarix chinensis</Emphasis> to soil moisture in the Yellow River Delta,China

Soil moisture is the main limiting factor for vegetation growth at shell ridges in the Yellow River Delta of China. The objective of this study was to explore the soil moisture response of photosynthetic parameters and transpiration in Tamarix chinensis Lour., a dominant species of shell ridges. Leaf photosynthetic light-response parameters and sap flow were measured across a gradient of relative soil water content (RWC), from drought (23%) to waterlogging (92%) conditions. Leaf photosynthetic efficiency and stem sap flow of T. chinensis showed a clear threshold response to soil moisture changes. Leaf net photosynthetic rate, water-use efficiency (WUE), light-saturation point, apparent quantum yield, maximum net photosynthetic rate, and dark respiration rate peaked at moderately high RWC, decreasing towards high and low values of RWC. However, peak or bottom RWC values substantially differed for various parameters. Excessively high or low RWC caused a significant reduction in the leaf photosynthetic capacity and WUE, while the high photosynthetic capacity and high WUE was obtained at RWC of 73%. With increasing waterlogging or drought stress, T. chinensis delayed the starting time for stem sap flow in the early morning and ended sap flow activity earlier during the day time in order to shorten a daily transpiration period and reduce the daily water consumption. The leaf photosynthetic capacity and WUE of T. chinensis were higher under drought stress than under waterlogging stress. Nevertheless, drought stress caused a larger reduction of daily water consumption compared to waterlogging, which was consistent with a higher drought tolerance and a poor tolerance to waterlogging in this species. This species was characterized by the low photosynthetic capacity and low WUE in the range of RWC between 44 and 92%. The RWC of 49–63% was the appropriate range of soil moisture for plant growth and efficient physiological water use of T. chinensis seedlings.     

Radial growth response of trees to seasonal soil humidity in a subtropical forest

Tree growth is the most important factor in determining the carbon sequestration processes of forest ecosystems. However, the growth phenology (seasonal growth pattern) and responses of tree growth to climatic variables vary considerably among different species, especially between deciduous and evergreen species. Thus, it is crucial to explore the seasonal growth patterns of different tree species in relation to climate to better understand the responses of tree physiology to climate changes, especially in mixed-species forest stands. In this study, we monitored the daily basal area increments of 220 individuals belonging to 15 common broadleaved tree species, nine deciduous and six evergreen species, in mixed-species experimental stands in subtropical China and analysed the relationships between radial stem growth and seasonal climate at a high-temporal resolution. We fitted daily increments of stem diameters with four frequently used nonlinear models and chose the best model for each species. The results showed that the evergreen trees grew faster than the deciduous trees, both annually and within the growing season. The tested nonlinear models (Korf, Weibull, logistic and Gompertz) produced good fits for the growth patterns of all species. Overall, the evergreen species began stem growth earlier and finished later during the growing season than that of the deciduous species. Within the growing season, the radial growth of trees in mixed stands containing both types of species was strongly positively correlated with humidity. In spring, increases in both temperature and moisture increased the daily relative basal area increment of all species. Maximum growth rates occurred when the soil water content reached its highest level and gradually decreased when the soil water content decreased. In summer, high temperatures combined with low amounts of precipitation led to heat-induced summer drought, to which the evergreen trees appeared to be more tolerant than the deciduous trees, which was reflected in the reduced stem growth of the latter. These results indicate the different climate-dependent seasonal growth strategies of evergreen and deciduous trees related to the trade-off described by the leaf economics spectrum, i.e., short-lived leaves with higher assimilation rates in deciduous and longer-lived leaves with a greater drought tolerance in evergreen species.     

土壤干旱对黄土高原3个常见树种幼苗水分代谢及生长的影响

应用盆栽试验,在人工控制土壤水分条件下对黄土高原3个常见树种丁香(Syringa oblata)、杠柳(Perip-loca sepium)和连翘(Forsythia suspensa)幼苗的生长及水分生理代谢进行了研究.结果表明,随干旱胁迫程度加剧,各树种耗水量明显减少;不同树种单株耗水量差异明显,表现为:连翘>杠柳>丁香.3树种新生枝条生长和叶面积扩展速率明显受土壤含水量影响,均表现为适宜水分>中度干旱>严重干旱,且在同一胁迫水平下,连翘>杠柳>丁香.随干旱胁迫程度的加剧和干旱时间的延长,丁香、杠柳和连翘叶片的含水量、游离脯氨酸以及叶绿素含量均有不同程度的变化,连翘和杠柳的叶片含水量在3种水分条件下均明显高于丁香,杠柳叶片游离脯氨酸含量明显高于丁香和连翘,连翘体内脯氨酸含量最低,丁香和连翘的叶绿素a/b值随土壤含水量的减少逐渐降低,杠柳则表现出相反趋势.不同树种对土壤干旱和高温的响应机制不同,但它们都具有较强的抗旱能力,适应黄土高原干旱的自然条件.     

陕北沙地小叶杨“小老树”的水力适应性

以黄土高原"小老树"发生面积最大的树种-小叶杨为例,研究了不同水分生境下(水分相对好的沟道和干旱的梁坡片沙地,分别标记为生境A和生境B)小叶杨的生长、光合、水力学特性等,试图探讨小叶杨"小老树"对干旱生境的适应机制。结果表明:生境B小叶杨树高、地径、1 m树高处直径明显小于生境A,同时其主茎顶端枯枝长度大于生境A;生境B小叶杨叶净光合速率和气孔导度明显低于生境A。两种生境下小叶杨黎明前和正午叶水势无显著差异,生境B小叶杨正午时小枝枝干的比导水率明显低于生境A,但两种生境的比叶导水率则无显著差异,生境B小叶杨的Huber值明显大于生境A。生境B小叶杨枝干的P50(导水率损失50%时所对应的木质部水势)比生境A低约0.76 MPa左右,其气孔关闭的水势比生境A晚0.2 MPa左右,生境B小叶杨水分传输安全距离明显大于生境A。表明干旱生境下小叶杨高Huber值和低气孔导度有助于其叶水分关系维持相对稳定,低光合速率和维持大的水分传输安全距离所需的木质部碳投资增加是小叶杨形成"小老树"的重要原因。
