5种沉水植物的光合特征

以碘量法测定水中溶解氧的变化作为衡量沉水植物光合作用和呼吸作用变化的指标 ,研究了狐尾藻、金鱼藻、苦草、菹草和黑藻光合作用对光照的响应 ,比较了它们的光合能力及光合特征。不同光照强度下 ,供试材料的光合速率高低排列各不相同。 5种沉水植物的光合作用都表现出强光抑制现象 ,不同种类在高光强下光合速率下降的程度差异较大。狐尾藻等植株的下部可形成没有叶片的茎 (非光合茎 )。这些茎不进行光合作用或光合作用很弱 ,其暗呼吸也只是光合部分的一半左右。具有非光合茎的种类可在较深的水体中生存。 5种沉水植物中 ,苦草对光的需求最低 ,适于在低光照条件的水下生长 ,不耐强光 ;狐尾藻和金鱼藻对光的需求最高 ,在上层有较强的竞争能力 ;菹草和黑藻对光的需求介于中间 ,最大光合产量出现在中层 ,可在水体中层形成优势。     

水体无机碳条件对常见沉水植物生长和生理的影响

为了解水华引起的水体无机碳变化对沉水植物生长的影响,对8种沉水植物:金鱼藻、穗花狐尾藻、篦齿眼子菜、光叶眼子菜、微齿眼子菜、伊乐藻、菹草和黑藻在不同无机碳浓度下的生物量、株高、叶绿素以及光合和呼吸速率进行了比较研究.结果表明8种沉水植物均能利用HCO3-作为光合无机碳源,在1.5 mmoL/L外源HCO3-浓度下能促进金鱼藻、菹草和伊乐藻的生长,提高其光合速率;在2.5 mmol/L外源HCO3-浓度下能促进狐尾藻、光叶眼子菜、黑藻、微齿眼子菜和蓖齿眼子菜的生长,提高其光合速率.在CO32-为优势碳源时,8种沉水植物表现出不同的适应性,发现微齿眼子菜、篦齿眼子菜和黑藻在整个实验范围内生长未受抑制,且在不同浓度下表现生长和光合速率的促进,说明这三种沉水植物对[HCO3-]/[CO32-]比值和pH具有较广适应范围.而当CO32-成为优势碳源时,金鱼藻和伊乐藻的生长受到抑制,狐尾藻、菹草和光叶眼子菜均死亡,表明[HCO3-]/[CO32-]比值和pH是这5种沉水植物生长的重要限制因子.     

衰亡期黑藻与生长期菹草交替生长对水体磷迁移的影响

为利用冷暖种交替控制水体磷污染、抑制水体富营养化,揭示湖泊演化规律和机理。研究设置单季植物组(黑藻组、菹草组)和交替生长组(黑藻组+菹草组)进行实验。交替生长组在黑藻衰亡期种植菹草,监测各组上覆水和底泥中各形态磷含量的变化,计算黑藻衰亡释放磷及菹草生长吸收磷的总量,同时测定环境因子指标。分析沉水植物交替生长(黑藻+菹草)过程对衰亡期沉水植物(黑藻组)释放磷所带来的二次污染的消减作用,并分析环境因子变化与磷含量之间的关系。实验结果表明:黑藻+菹草组显著(P<0.05)降低了上覆水中总磷(TP)、溶解性总磷(DTP)和溶解性活性磷(SRP)的浓度;显著(P<0.05)降低了间隙水中DTP和SRP的浓度。底泥TP含量黑藻组呈上升趋势,黑藻+菹草和菹草组呈下降趋势。在采用菹草生物量期望2倍于衰亡植物黑藻生物量的模拟实验条件下,每实验组沉水植物黑藻衰亡分解所释放的磷为1.51 g,沉水植物菹草生长所富集吸收的磷为1.83 g。因此,菹草具备消减黑藻所释放磷的能力,可作为冷暖种交替控制水体富营养化的备选物种。实验组磷的迁移方向分别为:黑藻组磷迁移最终方向为底泥,黑藻+菹草组和菹草组磷的迁移方向为植物。黑藻+菹草组通过提高环境中DO和ORP,使得水相中磷向沉积物相中迁移,从而使得水相中各形态磷浓度保持在相对较低的水平。     

几种常见沉水植物对砷富集的研究进展

常见的沉水植物(苦草、狐尾藻、金鱼藻、黑藻)对水体中的砷(As)有着较强的富集能力,研究沉水植物对As的富集特征对利用沉水植物控制水体As污染及保护人体健康有着重要意义。沉水植物对As的富集能力与水环境中As的浓度、形态、共存离子如磷酸盐、Zn离子等因素相关,其对As的耐受性及富集能力可以通过合适的化学、生物方法得到增强,从而提高沉水植物对含As污水的修复能力。但由于植物基因多样性及水环境因素复杂性,沉水植物对As的运输和解毒机制,以及沉水植物后期的处理和管理技术,仍是今后该领域需要重点关注的问题。     

戏水高手——沉水植物的生存智慧

Adaptation of submerged macrophytes to both water depth and flood intensity as revealed by their mechanical resistance

Little is known about the mechanical resistance response of submerged macrophytes to floods. An experiment was conducted to investigate the plant growth, root anchorage strength, and stem tensile properties of five submerged macrophytes under three initial water levels (1.0, 2.5, and 4.0 m) with four water level fluctuation speeds (0, 5, 15, and 25 cm d⁻¹). Our results demonstrate that the biomass, relative growth rate, root anchorage strength, and stem tensile properties of the five species decreased with increasing initial water level, suggesting that deep water can inhibit plant growth and decrease their mechanical resistance. Floods weakened the stem tensile properties and strengthened the root performances of Myriophyllum spicatum, Hydrilla verticillata, and Potamogeton malaianus in shallow water. However, floods induced opposite mechanical resistance responses from plants in deep water, indicating a possible trade-off between stem breakage and uprooting under flooding conditions. M. spicatum, Ceratophyllum demersum, and P. malaianus were more tolerant of deep water and flood intensity than Potamogeton maackianus and H. verticillata, as indicated by their larger biomass, plant heights, stem tensile properties, and root anchorage strength. This is the first article that mechanically explains the competitive capability and survival potential of submerged macrophytes to water depth and flood intensity.     

Production of submerged aquatic plant communities of Doodhadhari lake Raipur, (M.P. India)

The biomass of submerged aquatic plant communities was studied periodically during two annual growth periods. Najas minor contributed 78% to the total standing biomass. Ceratophyllum demersum, Hydrilla, Nelumbo nucifera, Trapa bispinosa and Potamogeton crispus contributed towards the rest of the biomass. The production was 0.64 g./m.²/day for the growing seasons of one year.     

Relationship between distribution and bottom sediment of submerged macrophytes in the Seta River,Shiga Prefecture,Japan

The purpose of this study was to survey the distribution and habitat of submerged macrophytes in the Seta River outflow from Lake Biwa, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. To accomplish this, I instituted a field survey with sampling on January 2009. I collected nine submerged macrophyte species during the diving operation. Sample collection showed that submerged macrophytes flourished on both sides of the river but did not flourish in the central portion of the river. Alien species (Egeria densa and Elodea nuttallii) were collected on all survey lines, while domestic species (Ceratophyllum demersum, Myriophyllum spicatum, Hydrilla verticillata, Vallisneria biwaensis, Vallisneria denseserrulata, Potamogeton maackianus, and Potamogeton malaianus) were collected in large amounts on the survey lines near Lake Biwa. The dominant species in cohesive soil or fine soil was Egeria densa, while the dominant species in sand gravel was Potamogeton maackianus. Although Egeria densa was collected in sand gravel too, Potamogeton maackianus was not collected in cohesive soil or fine soil, which indicates that Egeria densa has high fertility and can survive in an oxygen-poor environment, while Potamogeton maackianus cannot survive in an oxygen-poor environment.     

Heavy metals contamination and accumulation in submerged macrophytes in an urban river in China

Deteriorating urban water quality has attracted considerable attention in China. We investigated the contamination levels and distribution of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in Yuxi River water and sediments, and assessed the heavy metal accumulation capability of five species of submerged macrophytes: Vallisneria natans (Lour.) Hara, Potamogeton pectinatus L., Hydrilla verticillata (L. f.) Royle, Myriophyllum spicatum L., and Potamogeton crispus L. Samples were collected from upstream and downstream locations in different season. The results showed that the levels of heavy metals in the downstream areas were higher than in the upstream areas. Heavy metal concentrations in the river water during the dry seasons were higher than those during the rainy seasons, and the opposite results appeared in sediments and submerged macrophytes. In general, the river was slightly contaminated by heavy metals, and the concentrations of Pb and Ni in this river should serve as a warning, while Cd and Zn pollution in the sediments desperately needs to be removed. Furthermore, Potamogeton pectinatus L. showed a higher accumulation capacity for these metals among the five native submerged macrophytes and could be defined as a hyperaccumulator for Cd. Therefore, the potential use of native aquatic plants in contaminated rivers is worth further exploration.     

梁子湖优势沉水植物冬季种子库的初步研究

初步研究了梁子湖6种优势沉水植物如黄丝草、金鱼藻、菹草、黑藻、苦草和穗状狐尾藻等在冬季的广义种子库（种子、芽苞、断枝等）,包括它们的繁殖特性、种子在小、结构及萌发时的衰减曲线等问题,主要结果为：（1）在梁子湖不同区域内,种子库大小不相同,满江湖、前江大湖、中湖和管理局网围内种子库分别为714.4粒／m^2、107.5粒／m^2、331.9粒／m^2和159.3粒／m^2。种子库的大小受到现实的种群数量、投鱼强度、人类干扰等因素的影响。（2）黄丝草、金鱼藻、菹草种九的种子库占有明显优势,全湖平均分别为198.8粒／m^2、91.7粒／m^2和21.4粒／m^2。（3）每一种植物种群广义种子库的构成和比例具有差异,金鱼藻、菹草、苦草、黑藻四种植物种子库中,无性繁殖体占有主要的地位;黄丝草、穗状狐尾藻两种植物种子库中,种子占有很大的比例,上述六种植物均可用种子和无性繁殖体来产生幼苗,补充到肿群中去。（4）种子库一般存在冬季休眠（菹草为夏眠）,春季种子库萌发,尤其在3月和4月是种子库萌发的高峰期。     

Vegetative Propagule Pressure and Water Depth Affect Biomass and Evenness of Submerged Macrophyte Communities

Vegetative propagule pressure may affect the establishment and structure of aquatic plant communities that are commonly dominated by plants capable of clonal growth. We experimentally constructed aquatic communities consisting of four submerged macrophytes (Hydrilla verticillata, Ceratophyllum demersum, Elodea nuttallii and Myriophyllum spicatum) with three levels of vegetative propagule pressure (4, 8 and 16 shoot fragments for communities in each pot) and two levels of water depth (30 cm and 70 cm). Increasing vegetative propagule pressure and decreasing water level significantly increased the growth of the submerged macrophyte communities, suggesting that propagule pressure and water depth should be considered when utilizing vegetative propagules to re-establish submerged macrophyte communities in degraded aquatic ecosystems. However, increasing vegetative propagule pressure and decreasing water level significantly decreased evenness of the submerged macrophyte communities because they markedly increased the dominance of H. verticillata and E. nuttallii, but had little impact on that of C. demersum and M. spicatum. Thus, effects of vegetative propagule pressure and water depth are species-specific and increasing vegetative propagule pressure under lower water level can facilitate the establishment success of submerged macrophyte communities.
