三倍体毛白杨速生林土壤养分因子及pH值动态变化

通过连续4a测定2年生三倍体毛白杨(B304)及其对照二倍体(1319)林地内0-20cm、20-40cm和40-60cm土层中土壤理化指标(包括pH值、有机质、全N、碱解N、全P、有效P、全K和速效K含量),以明确三倍体毛白杨种植对土壤养分及其理化性质的影响。试验结果表明,(1)在4a生长期内林地土壤的pH值呈现碱性增强变化;B304的平均pH值由8.13升至8.43,1319由8.12升至8.78,虽然二者没有显著差异,但三倍体对林地的pH值影响相对较小,更利于土壤酸碱平衡及土壤缓冲力的稳定性;(2)土壤中有机质及碱解N含量呈现先降低后升高的变化特点,品种间差异不显著;(3)在2006年,毛白杨林地土壤中有效P和速效K含量显著下降,降幅均为0-20cm20-40cm40-60cm;(4)年份、土层及年份和土层的交互作用对毛白杨土壤pH值及所测定的全部养分因子影响均达显著水平(P0.05);而品种、年份、土层三者的交互效应对土壤pH值、有机质、全N、全P和速效K的含量影响也达到了显著性水平。体现了三倍体毛白杨速生林种植对当地不同土层理化性质和养分因子影响的时间效应,生产中应采取积极措施改善或减缓土壤环境恶化,促进林木更好生长。     

短轮伐期毛白杨不同密度林分土壤有机碳和全氮动态

采用裂区试验设计,于2005—2008年连续4年测定了不同造林密度(2 m×2 m、2 m×3 m、2 m×3.5 m、2 m×4 m、2 m×5 m、3 m×3 m、3 m×4 m)下2年生三倍体毛白杨(B304)和对照二倍体(1319)人工林土壤有机碳和全氮含量,以明确不同密度林分土壤有机碳和全氮动态变化规律及其相关性。结果表明:(1)受造林密度、生长时间及其交互作用的显著影响,4年生长期内林地土壤有机碳含量呈先降后升的变化特点。其中,2008年B304在2 m×3 m造林密度下土壤有机碳含量显著高于其它年份,说明此造林密度有利于发挥三倍体毛白杨林土壤固碳的生态功能。(2)4年生长期内,土壤全N含量受生长时间及其与造林密度的交互作用的显著影响。在3 m×3 m造林密度下,二倍体毛白杨林地土壤全N含量逐年降低,而三倍体毛白杨2007年的土壤全N含量显著增加,该造林密度利于三倍体毛白杨林地土壤N的积累。(3)土壤有机碳/全氮比值变化与有机碳含量变化规律一致,且均在2006年达到最低值。(4)在2008年,三倍体毛白杨在2 m×3 m和2 m×3.5 m造林密度下土壤有机碳与全N含量呈现显著正相关关系,而2 m×5 m造林密度下的二倍体毛白杨林地呈显著性负相关关系,体现了毛白杨林地土壤有机碳与全N含量复杂的相关性。     

水氮耦合对三倍体毛白杨无性系BT17叶片养分的影响

以2年生三倍体毛白杨无性系BT17为试验材料,采用随机区组设计于2007-2009年在河北省威县苗圃布设了氮肥4水平、水分3水平的大田试验,研究水氮耦合效应对毛白杨叶片养分含量的影响,并确定了最佳水氮用量组合.结果表明:季节对毛白杨叶片N、P、K含量的影响均达到显著水平,且3种元素的季节变化均为春季＞夏季＞秋季;不同处理间的叶片N、P、K含量均达到显著差异,当土壤含水量为田间持水量的75％,施氮量为每株160 g时,叶片N、P、K含量最高;水与氮肥耦合对叶片N、P、K含量均有较好的促进作用,对毛白杨的管理应注重水分与养分耦合的正效应;叶片各养分元素对水分和氮肥的响应不同,叶片N、K含量受水分的影响更大,P含量受氮肥的影响更大.     

青蒿素含量与土壤、植株养分含量关系的研究

调查和分析测定同一产区不同土壤类型的黄花蒿土壤和植株不同部位的养分含量及青蒿素含量,并对其进行相关分析和因子分析,结果表明,青蒿素含量与土壤Ca的含量有显著的正相关关系,与根N、茎N素含量以及植株地下部和地上部的N素含量比有显著的负相关关系,与茎部和叶部的N素含量比有极显著负相关关系;黄花蒿植株叶片的N含量与土壤P含量有显著的正相关关系;影响青蒿素含量的主要因子是黄花蒿植株体内的养分含量,其次是土壤的养分含量以及土壤和植株等综合因子。通过施肥、适当补充土壤中的Ca和P素营养,改善土壤养分状况等各种途径来调节植株体内的养分,降低地下部和地上部的N素含量比值,茎叶部N素含量比值,提高青蒿素的含量,增施K肥,有利于黄花蒿的生长。     

磁化微咸水灌溉对欧美杨I-107微量元素和碳氮磷养分特征的影响

为探讨盐分环境下,磁化作用对土壤和植株养分特征的影响,以欧美杨I-107为试材,采用磁化和非磁化微咸水灌溉处理,通过对土壤和植物组织中微量元素和碳氮磷含量的测定,以揭示土壤-植物的养分供求关系。研究发现:(1)微咸水灌溉处理中叶片和根系Fe含量均下降;叶片Zn、Mn和Cu含量提高,根系Mn和Zn含量降低、Cu含量提高。叶片和根系中总碳含量均提高,全氮和全磷含量均降低;叶片C/N下降,根系C/N和C/P则提高。(2)磁化微咸水灌溉处理叶片和根系中Fe、Zn、Cu含量均提高,Mn含量降低;叶片C、P及C/N提高,N含量下降;根系C、C/N和C/P含量提高。(3)微咸水灌溉土壤中Fe、Mn、Zn和Cu微量元素全量均降低,有效态含量均提高;OC和N、C/P和N/P下降,全磷和C/N提高。(4)磁化微咸水灌溉中土壤Fe、Mn和Zn全量提高,Cu降低;Fe、Mn、Zn和Cu有效态含量提高;OC和N、C/P和N/P提高。可见,磁化作用有利于调节植株对微量元素的吸收和分配,提高土壤的固氮能力以及对植株的碳供应能力。此外,盐分环境下,植物体通过提高元素Fe含量以及C/N比值维持光合作用的正常进行,以满足植株正常生长发育的需要。     

桂北丰水梨园土壤养分与叶片营养的相关性分析

选取桂北地区有生理异常现象发生的丰水梨园,以成年结果树为研究对象,通过检测年生长周期内梨树叶片矿质营养元素、土壤养分的含量,分析不同时期梨树叶片营养元素和土壤养分含量及其动态变化规律,探讨年生长季内叶片营养与土壤养分之间的相关关系。结果表明:(1)在生长季节内,丰水梨叶片中N、P、K含量丰富;营养元素含量随时间的变化幅度均为P最大,N、K较小,但均未达到显著水平(P>0.05)。(2)梨园土壤中有机质、水解性N含量丰富,有效P、速效K含量普遍偏高;年生长周期内土壤速效N、P、K含量随时间的推移变化较大,均达显著水平(P<0.05),而有机质含量则相对稳定。(3)梨树叶片N含量与土壤有机质、水解性N、有效P、速效K含量呈显著正相关关系(P<0.05);叶片P和K含量与土壤水解性N含量分别呈显著负相关和正相关关系(P<0.05),而与土壤有机质、有效P、速效K相关关系不明显。     

地下滴灌下土壤水势对毛白杨纸浆林生长及生理特性的影响

在6、7年生三倍体毛白杨(triploid Populus tomentosa)纸浆林中研究了地下滴灌(SDI)下不同土壤水势(-25、-50、-75kPa,即灌溉起始阈值)对林木生长及生理特征的影响。结果表明:与不灌溉(CK)相比,SDI使6、7年生林分的生产力分别平均提高24%和28%;其中,-25 kPa使6年生林分的生产力达到39.90 m3hm-2a-1,较CK极显著提高43.5%(P<0.01)。各水势处理间,-25 kPa的生产力在林分6年生时分别较-50和-75 kPa极显著提高20%和31%(P<0.01),在7年生时分别提高13%和14%(P>0.05)。能在毛白杨速生期内(4—7月)大幅提高土壤含水率(20和50 cm处分别平均提高35%和27%)、树干日平均液流速率(46%,SFmean)、黎明前叶水势(41%,ψpd)是SDI促进林木生长的重要机制。灌溉起始水势阈值的差异对毛白杨SFmean和ψpd无显著影响(P>0.05)。3个水势处理中,-25 kPa的平均SFmean和ψpd均最高,且其能使根系活动剧烈的表土层(0—20cm)的水分有效性有最大幅的提高,这可能是其对林木生长有最大促进作用的主要原因。综上,应在毛白杨纸浆林培育中大力推广SDI,并在应用时可将距滴头10cm、地下20 cm处的土壤水势达到-25 kPa作为灌溉起始阈值。另外,在与试验地环境相似地区栽植毛白杨时,应于4—7月灌溉,8—10月一般可不灌溉。     

沟灌水氮耦合对毛白杨林木生长及水氮吸收利用的影响

为探索沟灌水氮耦合对幼年生毛白杨林木生长及水氮吸收利用的影响,以4年生砂地三倍体毛白杨为对象,研究3个灌溉水平(W₂₀、W₃₃、W₄₅,即沟渠正下方40 cm土壤水势分别达到-20、-33和-45 kPa时灌溉),4个施N水平(N₁₂₀、N₁₉₀、N₂₆₀、N₀,即施肥量为120、190、260和0 kg·hm^-2·a^-1)和自然条件(对照,CK)下幼年生毛白杨林木生长和水氮吸收利用规律,并结合林木生长状况,分析4年生三倍体毛白杨的最佳沟灌水氮耦合策略。结果表明:W₂₀N₁₂₀(高水低肥;土壤水势-20 kPa,施N量120 kg·hm^-2·a^-1)处理对三倍体毛白杨的林地生产力提升最为显著,其林地生产力最高可达33.37 m³·hm^-2·a^-1,仅有树高和总株生物量受到水氮耦合交互作用的显著影响。增加灌溉量或施N量都会提高林木吸氮量,但吸氮量主要受施N量影响;W₂₀N₂₆₀处理总株吸氮量最高,达112.17 kg·hm^-2·a^-1,较CK增加74.0%。各处理中,W₂₀N₁₂₀氮吸收效率和氮肥偏生产力最高,且显著高于其他处理,其总株、地上部、地下部氮吸收效率可达36.8%、28.5%、6.4%,总株氮肥偏生产力可达221.4 kg·kg^-1。不同水氮耦合处理灌水量对灌溉水的利用效率影响显著,其中,W₄₅N₂₆₀灌溉水利用效率最高,达13.66 g·kg^-1;而W₂₀N₁₂₀吸水量和水吸收效率最高,分别为13268.28 t·hm^-2和129.4%。为达到较大的收益,在三倍体毛白杨的幼年生长期间,应保持充足的水分灌溉(-20 kPa)和相对偏低的施氮量(120 kg·hm^-2·a^-1)促进幼年生毛白杨的生长发育。     

地表连年覆盖雷竹林叶片养分利用特征

对连续覆盖雷竹林换叶期林地土壤和叶片养分利用效率、养分再吸收效率进行了研究,旨在阐明地表连年覆盖栽培对雷竹林养分利用特征的影响.结果表明:连续覆盖3年雷竹林土壤N养分有效性、N素利用效率以及再吸收效率均显著性提高,雷竹林表现出较高的保存N养分的能力;土壤P元素有效性水平显著升高,而叶片P养分的利用效率显著降低,反映出叶片对土壤高P含量的适应策略,N、P养分利用效率之间存在显著的负相关关系(P＜0.05);土壤K元素的有效性水平显著降低,竹林通过提高自身的K再吸收效率来维持养分的正常循环,再吸收效率高达95.8％;不同覆盖年限雷竹林Nm/Pm均＜14,连续覆盖3年雷竹林Nm/Pm比值极显著下降,经推断是此时雷竹林对土壤有效P高吸收的结果.成熟叶片的Nm/Pm与N、P的再吸收效率均无显著相关性,Nm/Pm并不能很好地反映叶片在凋落前的养分再分配格局.

Nutrient utilization in Quercus leucotrichophora and Pinus roxburghii seedlings at five soil fertility levels

Abstract. Nutrient utilization and growth performance of Pinus roxburghii Sarg. and Quercus leucotrichophora A. Camus, the two major forest trees of the Central Himalaya Mountains between 1000 and 2000 m elevation, were analysed at different nutrient levels. The early successional P. roxburghii occurs naturally on nutrient-poor sites and the late successional Q. leucotrichophora on nutrient-rich sites. Seedlings of these two species were grown both in monoculture and mixed, in plastic bags containing 1 kg soil and representing five levels of nutrients (NPK) in a 12 : 32 : 16 ratio. The P. roxburghii seedlings showed significantly greater nutrient extraction efficiency (nutrient unit extracted by seedlings per nutrient unit in the soil) than the Q. leucotrichophora seedlings, and this difference was increased in interspecific competition, particularly at the higher nutrient levels. In interspecific competition the extraction efficiencies of P. roxburghii for N, P and K were distinctly higher than those of Q. leucotrichophora. This we consider to be the main reason for the replacement of Q. leucotrichophora by P. roxburghii, even on nutrient-rich soils, after disturbance and subsequent increase in light availability. In both the species, re-translocation of nutrients from senescing leaves declined with increasing soil fertility. For example, re-translocation for P. roxburghii was 49% N, 30% P and 32% K at the lowest soil fertility, and 20% N, 8% P and 13% K at the highest soil fertility.     

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Alter Fractal Dimension Characteristics of Robinia pseudoacacia L. Seedlings Through Regulating Plant Growth,Leaf Water Status,Photosynthesis, and Nutrient Concentration Under Drought Stress

The influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Funneliformis mosseae and Rhizophagus intraradices, on plant growth, leaf water status, chlorophyll concentration, photosynthesis, nutrient concentration, and fractal dimension (FD) characteristics of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) seedlings was studied in pot culture under well-watered, moderate drought stress, and severe drought stress treatments. Mycorrhizal seedlings had higher dry biomass, leaf relative water content (RWC), and water use efficiency (WUE) compared with non-mycorrhizal seedlings. Under all treatments, AMF colonization notably enhanced net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate, but decreased intercellular CO₂ concentration. Leaf chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll concentrations were higher in AM seedlings than those in non-AM seedlings although there was no significant difference between AMF species. AMF colonization improved leaf C, N, and P concentrations, but decreased C:N, C:P, and N:P ratios. Mycorrhizal seedlings had a larger FD value than non-mycorrhizal seedlings. The FD value was positively and significantly correlated to the plant growth parameters, photosynthesis, RWC, WUE, and nutrient concentration but negatively correlated to leaf/stem ratio, C:N and C:P ratios, and intercellular CO₂ concentration. We conclude that AMF lead to an improvement of growth performance of black locust seedlings under all growth conditions, including drought stress via improving leaf water status, chlorophyll concentration, photosynthesis, and nutrient uptake. Moreover, FD technology proved to be a powerful non-destructive method to characterize the effect of AMF on the physiology of host plants during drought stress.     

Nutrient Distribution Indicated Whole-Tree Harvesting as a Possible Factor Restricting the Sustainable Productivity of a Poplar Plantation System in China

We evaluated the biomass and contents of five major macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) in 10-year-old poplar trees (Populus deltoids Bartr. cv. “Lux”), and determined their nutrient use efficiencies (NUEs) at Zhoushan Forestry Farm (32°20′ N, 119°40′ E), Jiangsu province, in eastern China. The above- and below-ground biomass of poplar trees was 161.7 t ha^-1, of which 53.3% was stemwood. The nutrient contents in the aboveground part were as follows: 415.1 kg N ha^-1, 29.7 kg P ha^-1, 352.0 kg K ha^-1, 1083.0 kg Ca ha^-1, and 89.8 kg Mg ha^-1. The highest nutrient contents were in stembark, followed by branches, roots, stemwood, and foliage. The NUEs of the aboveground parts of poplar for N, P, K, Ca and Mg were 0.313, 4.377, 0.369, 0.120, 1.448 t dry biomass kg^-1 nutrient, respectively, while those of stemwood were 1.294, 33.154, 1.253, 0.667, and 3.328 t dry biomass kg^-1, respectively. The cycling coefficients, defined as the percentage of annual nutrient return in annual nutrient uptake, of N, P, K, Ca and Mg for the aboveground part were 87, 95, 69, 92, and 84%, respectively. Based on the NUE and nutrient cycling characteristics, shifting from whole-tree harvesting to stemwood-only harvesting and appropriately extending the harvest rotation could prevent site deterioration and support sustainable productivity of poplar plantation systems.     

Biochemical compositions of two dominant bloom- forming species isolated from the Yangtze River Estuary in response to different nutrient conditions

Variations of cellular total lipid, total carbohydrate and total protein content of two dominant bloom-forming species (Skeletonema costatum and Prorocentrum donghaiense) isolated from the Yangtze River Estuary were examined under six different nutrient conditions in batch cultures. Daily samples were collected to estimate the cell growth, nutrient concentration and three biochemical compositions content during 7 days for S. costatum and the same sampling procedure was done every other day during 10 days for P. donghaiense. Results showed that for S. costatum, cellular total lipid content increased under phosphorus (P) limitation, but not for nitrogen (N) limitation; cellular carbohydrate were accumulated under both N and P limitation; cellular total protein content of low nutrient concentration treatments were significantly lower than that of high nutrient concentration treatments. For P. donghaiense, both cellular total lipid content and total carbohydrate content were greatly elevated as a result of N and P exhaustion, but cellular total protein content had no significant changes under nutrient limitation. In addition, the capability of accumulation of three biochemical constituents of P. donghaiense was much stronger than that of S. costatum. Pearson correlation showed that for both species, the biochemical composition of three constituents (lipid, carbohydrate and protein) had no significant relationship with extracellular N concentration, but had positive correlation with extracellular and intracellular P concentration. The capability of two species to accumulate cellular total lipid and carbohydrate under nutrient limitation may help them accommodate the fluctuating nutrient condition of the Yangtze River Estuary. The different responses of two species of cellular biochemical compositions content under different nutrient conditions may provide some evidence to explain the temporal characteristic of blooms caused by two species in the Yangtze River Estuary.     

Mixing Effects of Understory Plant Litter on Decomposition and Nutrient Release of Tree Litter in Two Plantations in Northeast China

Understory vegetation plays a crucial role in carbon and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems; however, it is not clear how understory species affect tree litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics. In this study, we examined the impacts of understory litter on the decomposition and nutrient release of tree litter both in a pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) and a poplar (Populus × xiaozhuanica) plantation in Northeast China. Leaf litter of tree species, and senesced aboveground materials from two dominant understory species, Artemisia scoparia and Setaria viridis in the pine stand and Elymus villifer and A. sieversiana in the poplar stand, were collected. Mass loss and N and P fluxes of single-species litter and three-species mixtures in each of the two forests were quantified. Data from single-species litterbags were used to generate predicted mass loss and N and P fluxes for the mixed-species litterbags. In the mixture from the pine stand, the observed mass loss and N release did not differ from the predicted value, whereas the observed P release was greater than the predicted value. However, the presence of understory litter decelerated the mass loss and did not affect N and P releases from the pine litter. In the poplar stand, litter mixture presented a positive non-additive effect on litter mass loss and P release, but an addition effect on N release. The presence of understory species accelerated only N release of poplar litter. Moreover, the responses of mass loss and N and P releases of understory litter in the mixtures varied with species in both pine and poplar plantations. Our results suggest that the effects of understory species on tree litter decomposition vary with tree species, and also highlight the importance of understory species in litter decomposition and nutrient cycles in forest ecosystems.     

Use of tree seedlings for the phytoremediation of a municipal effluent used in dry areas of north-western India: Plant growth and nutrient uptake

Impacts of municipal effluent (ME) irrigation on soil physicochemical properties and its remediation by tree species were assessed with a view to utilize this resource in growing woodlot, controlling land degradation and improving environmental quality in suburban areas. Acacia nilotica L. (babool), Dalbergia sissoo L. (sissoo) and Eucalyptus camaldulensis seedlings planted in July 1998 were irrigated with ME at ½ PET (T₂), 1 PET (T₃), 2 PET (T₄), and with canal water at 1 PET (T₅). The control was soil without seedlings irrigated with ME at 1 PET (T₁). Application of ME increased minerals concentration from T₂ to T₄ in both soil and seedling in June 1999 and 2000. The increase in soil pH, EC, SOC was by <2.00-fold and availability of potassium (K), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) by >2-fold, NH₄–N by 10.44-fold and PO₄–P by 6.57-fold in T₄ than those in T₅ treatment in 2000. Available NH₄–N, PO₄–P, Mg and K were higher in 0–15 cm soil layer but continued irrigation and low soil carbon influenced leaching of NO₃–N, Na, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn resulting their higher concentrations in 60–90 cm soil layer (P < 0.01). Lower soil nutrients in T₃ than in T₁ suggested soil amelioration by the planted seedlings and because of lowest concentration of most of the nutrients E. camaldlensis showed highest soil amelioration capacity. But nutrient utilization efficiency was highest in A. nilotica for K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Cu and Zn, D. sissoo for N and P, and E. camaldulensis for Mn. Thus, planting tree seedlings, particularly E. camaldulensis, under ecological amelioration could in this way help in controlling land degradation and enhancing biomass and aesthetic benefits, although long-term application of effluent would lead to mineral/salt accumulation in soil and plants.     

Effects of moderate shade and irrigation with eutrophicated water on the nitrogen economy of Mediterranean oak seedlings

We evaluated the effects of moderate shade (43% vs. 100% of full sunlight) and irrigation with eutrophicated river water (daily vs. alternate-day watering) on growth and nitrogen economy of seedlings of three Mediterranean oak species, two evergreen (Quercus coccifera, Quercus ilex subsp. ballota) and a deciduous (Quercus faginea), grown in pots outdoors. Seedling biomass, N pool, N concentration and N losses by litter fall were measured at the beginning (March 2002) and end (November 2002) of a growing season. All species showed an increase of biomass and N pool under shade and/or high irrigation, while only Q. coccifera – from more arid regions – did the same under full sunlight and low irrigation. At the end of the experiment, biomass of the evergreens was higher in shade than in sun, and in high than in low irrigation, while Q. faginea – from more humid zones – responded to irrigation only. Shade-induced growth was accompanied by a decline in N concentration in the evergreens, but irrigation reduced N concentration only of Q. faginea. Shade, but not irrigation, reduced above-ground N loss. We conclude that both treatments differentially affected the evergreen and the deciduous oaks, probably due to differences in plant hydraulic and stomatal conductance. Although both treatments have similar effects on the growth of evergreens, they produced different effects on seedling N economy, which may have important consequences on future field seedling performance.     

灌溉对沙拐枣幼苗生长及氮素利用的影响

采用盆栽试验,比较了5个灌溉梯度下(4.6、6.1、7.7、9.2、13.0 kg·株-1·次-1)沙拐枣幼苗氮素累积分配、利用和回收特征及其生长特性差异。结果表明:随灌溉量增加,沙拐枣幼苗整株氮素累积量和干物质量均显著增加,但在最高灌溉量下沙拐枣幼苗出现严重病害。生长旺季干物质和氮素主要分配在同化枝中,平均分别占总株的39.5%和66.1%,随灌溉量增加分配比例显著增加;季末茎和老枝是干物质和氮素的主要累积器官,平均分别占总株的54.7%和47.8%,分配比例也随灌溉量增加而显著增加。干旱条件下沙拐枣幼苗具有较高的根冠比,增加灌溉量后显著下降。生长旺季沙拐枣幼苗具有较高氮素回收效率,平均为64.4%,灌溉后明显增加;季末平均为58.1%,灌溉后有下降趋势。在两个生长季平均氮素利用效率分别为120.5和235.8g/g,增加灌溉量虽可提高植物氮素利用效率,但在最高灌溉量下氮素利用效率出现降低。由此可见,沙拐枣幼苗物质分配特征具有明显的季节性和可塑性,灌溉量过高和过低都不利于沙拐枣幼苗生长及氮素回收和利用效率的提高,因此中等灌溉量(7.7—9.2 kg·株-1·次-1)更有利于其生长及自身特性发挥。     

天然次生林植物叶片生态化学计量特征及光合特性对长期N沉降的响应

2006年5月于吉林省抚松县露水河林业局实验林场布设了人工模拟氮沉降控制试验,共设置3个氮（N）添加梯度,分别为对照（CK 0 g·N·m^-2·a^-1）、低N（LN 2.5 g·N·m^-2·a^-1）和高N（HN 5.0 g·N·m^-2·a^-1）,旨在探讨N沉降对天然次生林先锋树种白桦（Betula platyphylla）和山杨（Populus davidiana）鲜叶、凋落叶化学计量特征、养分重吸收的影响,以及鲜叶光合特性的变化和各性状之间的相互关系。结果表明：（1）模拟N沉降处理下白桦、山杨鲜叶的C含量较对照均无显著影响,LN处理显著降低了山杨鲜叶N、P含量（P<0.05）,显著增加了C：N、C：P和N：P（P<0.05）;HN处理显著增加了白桦鲜叶N含量和N：P,显著降低了C：N（P<0.05）。（2）白桦、山杨鲜叶N、P重吸收率在两个梯度N添加下均显著下降（P<0.05）,且均为负值。山杨鲜叶N重吸收率与P重吸收率呈显著正相关关系（P<0.05）,与鲜叶C：N呈显著负相关关系（P<0.05）。（3）N添加可以提高2种树木叶片氮素光合利用效率（PNUE）（P<0.05）、净光合速率（P_n）（P<0.05）。白桦鲜叶N含量与P_n、PNUE呈显著正相关（P<0.05）;白桦、山杨鲜叶比叶重（LMA）与N含量呈显著负相关（P<0.05）;P_n与PNUE呈显著正相关（P<0.05）。本试验研究表明：在生长季,白桦、山杨鲜叶中N、P均表现为富集状态,土壤养分及外源N可供林木较快吸收并促进其生长,无需从凋落叶中吸收养分。N添加可以增强白桦、山杨鲜叶的光合性能,进而促进植物养分吸收和叶片发育。HN对长白山天然次生林的生长有促进作用。
