嘉峪关草湖湿地芦苇净光合速率与叶面积和叶厚度的关系

植物净光合速率(P_n)与叶性状的环境响应,对理解异质性生境中植物叶片物理构建与生理代谢的关系具有重要意义。采用线性回归的方法,按照芦苇种群地下水埋深和地表水水位变化规律设置:Ⅰ(地下水埋深0.3—0.6 m)、Ⅱ(地下水埋深0—0.3 m)、Ⅲ(地表水水位0—0.3 m) 3个梯度,研究了土壤水分影响下芦苇(Phragmites australias)的P_n与叶面积(LA)、叶厚度的关系。结果表明:随着土壤水分的增加,湿地植被群落的高度、盖度和地上生物量呈逐渐增大的趋势,芦苇的LA、叶片P_n呈现逐渐增加的趋势,而叶厚度呈减小趋势;在样地(Ⅰ)和样地(Ⅲ)芦苇的P_n与LA之间分别存在极显著负相关和正相关关系(P 0.01),而与叶厚度之间分别存在极显著正相关和负相关关系(P0.01);在样地(Ⅱ),芦苇的P_n与LA之间呈显著正相关关系(P0.05),与叶厚度之间仅呈显著负相关关系(P0.05)。随着土壤水分的增加,芦苇选择了增大叶面积、减小叶厚度,相应增大P_n的生存策略,体现了芦苇种群在异质生境中较强的叶片表型可塑性,从而更好地适应特殊的湿地生境。

扎龙湿地异质生境芦苇种群根茎动态及年龄结构

无性系植物根茎不仅具有营养繁殖和扩展种群的功能,也是无性系家族中芽和分株生理整合的通道。采用单位土体挖掘取样,对扎龙湿地单优种群落芦苇种群根茎进行调查,比较了湿生生境和水生生境根茎长度、生物量和干物质贮量的季节变化。结果表明:芦苇种群根茎长度、生物量和干物质贮量均以湿生生境显著大于水生生境;8月前,根茎长度缓慢增加,8月后,根茎长度迅速增加,以3龄最长,6龄最短;根茎生物量、干物质贮量先下降后上升,8月最低,至10月休眠期均已超过营养生长初期,生物量以3龄最大,1龄最小,干物质贮量以5龄最高,1龄最低;不同龄级根茎长度及年龄谱与月份间呈线性相关(R~20.81,P0.05),不同龄级根茎生物量与月份间呈二次曲线关系(R~20.98,P0.05),生物量年龄谱与月份间呈线性相关(R~20.80,P0.05),5个生育期根茎干物质贮量与龄级之间呈二次曲线关系(R~20.86,P0.05)。芦苇种群根茎长度、生物量、干物质贮量有着相同的季节变化规律,不同龄级根茎的寿命与养分的输出消耗和养分的再输入补偿密切相关。整个生育期内,生境异质性对芦苇种群根茎动态及年龄结构的影响均存在,且引起的差异也相对较稳定。     

克里雅河尾闾绿洲胡杨种群年龄结构对地下水埋深的响应

为阐明沙漠腹地绿洲胡杨种群的生存状况与发展动态,探讨地下水埋深差异对胡杨年龄结构组成与种群更新演替的影响。该研究以塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地克里雅河尾闾达里雅布依绿洲胡杨林为研究对象,通过划分胡杨龄级与地下水埋深梯度等级,量化个体竞争能力等主要手段,对胡杨种群年龄结构特征进行了分析,并对时间序列上的更新动态进行了预测。结果表明:(1)达里雅布依绿洲胡杨林的年龄结构在整体上存在微弱的增长趋势,但不同生境之间的差异较大,多数区域的胡杨种群更新乏力。(2)胡杨个体的竞争能力与龄级之间存在幂函数关系,同时随着地下水埋深的增加,所能维持的竞争关系愈发简单,而竞争能力较低的幼龄林比例也随之降低。(3)当地下水埋深小于6 m的情况下能够保障胡杨种群正常的更新演替,而大于6 m后的地下水埋深则会使胡杨种群丧失幼龄林这一组分,呈现出明显的衰退趋势。     

扎龙湿地不同生境芦苇种群根茎数量特征及动态

采用单位土体取样,计测长度和生物量的调查与统计方法,对扎龙湿地保护区4个生境芦苇种群根茎数量特征进行比较分析。结果表明,芦苇5月10日左右返青后进入营养生长期,根茎长度6—8月份缓慢增加,8—10月份显著增加,后期是前期的3.5—10.3倍,生长季中后期是种群新根茎补充和生长的主要时期,不仅实现了种群空间扩展,并为营养繁殖储备更多繁殖芽;根茎生物量和干物质贮量6—8月份逐渐减少,8—10月份又逐渐增加,均以生长季末期的10月份最大,并均显著地(P0.05)高于其他月份,种群根茎养分的消耗主要供给根茎芽的萌发和幼株生长,根茎养分的储藏又为翌年种群的更新及扩展提供物质保障,种群对地下根茎存在明显的养分"超补偿性"贮藏现象。种群根茎长度和生物量均以湿生生境最大,依次为旱生生境、水生生境,盐碱生境最小,根茎干物质贮量以旱生生境最大,依次为湿生生境、水生生境,盐碱生境最小。种群根茎长度与返青后实际生长时间之间均较好地符合直线函数关系,种群根茎生物量和干物质贮量与生长时间之间较好地符合二次曲线函数关系,R2在0.804—0.997之间,拟合方程均达到了显著或极显著(P0.01)水平。4个生境芦苇种群在根茎长度、生物量、干物质贮量等数量特征均表现出由遗传因素控制的比较稳定的季节动态规律,在生境间的差异及其差异序位又均基本稳定,均表现出明显的土壤因子环境效应,其中土壤含水量、有机质、速效氮为正向驱动,p H、速效磷为负向驱动,土壤含水量、p H对根茎数量特征的驱动作用更突出。

塔里木河下游地下水埋深对草本植物地上特征的影响

根据2014年在塔里木河下游5个断面30个植物样地的调查,获取了草本植物群落的特征资料,并记录了相应的地下水埋深数据。根据所收集的相关资料,对研究区内草本植物地上生态特征与地下水埋深间的关系进行了探讨。结果表明:1)随着离河道距离的加大,地下水位逐渐降低,草本植物群落生物多样性逐渐减小,盖度降低,结构趋于简单,地下水位6~7 m时草本分布十分稀少;2)地下水埋深与草本植物地上生物量以及地上含水率具有显著的相关性,随着地下水埋深的增加,草本植物的地上生物量逐渐减少,地上含水率也呈减少的趋势,但地上净初级生产力与地下水埋深的关系不明显;3)生态输水使距河道一定范围内地下水位升高明显,在纵向和横向上都表现出一定的规律,生态输水的影响范围逐渐加大,植被的响应也很显著,长势出现明显好转,多样性与盖度均有所增加。     

乌梁素海野生芦苇群落生物量及影响因子分析

 对内蒙古乌梁素海湿地野生芦苇(Phragmites australis)生物量的调查基础上,探讨了富营养化湖泊湿地水体的物理化学性质对芦苇生物量的影响。结果表明：1）由于环境因子的影响,芦苇群落生物量变化较大,介于1.73～3.00 kg·m-2之间;地下和地上生物量之比介于1.14～2.19之间;2）芦苇群落生物量受多种因素的影响,其中水深是最主要的限制因子,水上生物量和地上生物量随着水深的增加而增加,而地下与地上生物量的比值则随水深的增加而减少,这主要是由于水深改变了芦苇群落的结构（群落密度）和个体形态(株高和株茎);3）芦苇群落生物量随着水体N浓度增加而增加。芦苇各器官（叶、茎、根状茎和根）的N∶P为7.59～12.21,小于14,这也说明该水体中的N负荷是影响芦苇生长的主要限制因子;4）土壤有机质分解对芦苇生长没有产生毒害作用。     

Surface water sanitation and biomass production in a large constructed wetland in the Netherlands

In Western-Europe, agricultural practices have contributed to environmental problems such as eutrophication of surface and ground water, flooding, drought and desiccation of surrounding natural habitats. Solutions that reduce the impact of these problems are urgently needed. Common reed (Phragmites australis) is capable of sanitizing surface water and may function as green energy source because of its high productivity. Here, the results of an experiment in a constructed wetland in the Netherlands are presented where two different sanitation treatments were compared. Depending on the residence time and volume per unit area, reed is capable to reduce the total amount of nitrogen in the water with average efficiencies from 32 to 47% and the total amount of phosphorous with 27–45%. Although biomass production still varies largely between different parts of the constructed wetland, a rapid increase in biomass was observed since planting. Constructed wetlands with reed provide opportunities to improve water quality and reed produces enough biomass to serve as green energy source. Moreover, these wetlands also function as a flood water reservoir and are possibly advantageous for biodiversity. The optimal moment of reed harvesting depends on the goal of the owner. This moment should be chosen wisely, as it may have consequences for reed filter regeneration, biomass production, biodiversity, methane emission and water sanitation efficiency.     

Spatial dynamics and morphological plasticity of common reed (Phragmites australis) and cattails (Typha sp.) in freshwater marshes and roadside ditches

Over the last decades, the abundance of common reed has significantly increased in freshwater wetlands of eastern North America, and stands of this species are now commonly alternating with stands of cattails. Since these species share many characteristics, the contact zone between common reed and cattail stands may witness strong interspecific interactions. We surveyed stand dynamics in roadside ditches and freshwater marshes at these contact zones over three years, and we examined the morphological plasticity in response to neighbors. Results indicate that common reed is clearly gaining ground over time, while cattails stands are retreating. We also found annual variability in the spatial dynamics, suggesting that other factors, such as the effect of weather conditions on water level, may affect population processes. Interspecific interactions had a detrimental effect on both common reed and cattail biomass. However, common reed showed morphological plasticity in shoot height, number of nodes, and internodes length, while cattails did not. Our observations suggest that common reed has a net competitive advantage over cattails in roadside ditches and freshwater marshes.     

Environmental changes affect ecosystem services of the intermittent Lake Cerknica

Lake Cerknica is an intermittent wetland with seasonal water level fluctuations. This paper discusses the possible changes of ecosystem services due to altered ecosystem functions caused by regional climate change. For this purpose, the lake's water regime was analysed and biomass production of common reed (Phragmites australis), the prevailing species, was related to ambient temperatures and water level. The effect of the latter was also examined for reed transpiration rate and plant diversity. The results revealed a gradual loss of seasonality of floods and droughts. High water level in winter months and temperatures at the beginning as well as the end of vegetation period were found to have a significant influence on reed biomass. The plant diversity research in six subsequent years in three different aquatic habitats revealed trends of a decrease due to increased water depth during the vegetation period. The complexity of the system and consequently ecosystem services might also be affected due to changes of other processes, which revealed to be related to water level; namely transpiration rate, plant mycorrhizal colonisation and soil mineralisation.     

Commercially cut reed as a new and sustainable habitat for the globally threatened Aquatic Warbler

The Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is a song bird breeding in fen mires and similarly structured other wetlands with a water depth of 1–10 cm. Widespread in central-European wetlands at the beginning of the 20th century, the species is now globally threatened. The westernmost and genetically distinct Pomeranian population is even on the verge of extinction. The major challenge in the conservation of remaining habitat is the cost-efficient removal of biomass. About 50% of the Pomeranian population survives in a valley fen near Rozwarowo in Northwest Poland, where between 1993 and 2007 a conspicuous change in breeding habitat has taken place from summer grazed sedge meadows to commercial winter cut reed beds. We compared vegetation structure, site conditions, and potential prey abundance with the distribution and abundance of Aquatic Warblers in Rozwarowo Marshes and studied temporal changes and the compatibility of conservation and reed cutting interests. Aquatic Warblers now occur almost exclusively in sparsely growing, low reed with abundant Thelypteris palustris, Carex elata, and Lysimachia vulgaris. This vegetation type provides more potential prey for Aquatic Warblers than the higher productive tall reed, whereas the patches of sedge vegetation have become too small following succession after abandonment. Currently, commercial reed cutting maintains suitable Aquatic Warbler breeding habitat. Considering the impending changes in the reed market, there is a need for flexible agri-environmental schemes (AES) to ensure that stripes are left uncut and to prevent eutrophication by high and long flooding of the site.     

芦苇生态型研究进展

芦苇生态幅极广,适生于多种生境类型。不同的环境选择压力如水深、盐度、养分、气候等交互影响致使芦苇个体及种群间发生不同程度的分化和变异,形成了形态、生理或遗传上互有差异、异地性的不同生态型。尽管基于芦苇表型变异以及遗传变异进行生态型划分的研究已开展很多,但针对芦苇生态型变异规律及其可能的形成机制的认知仍存在较多分歧。在总结近年来有关芦苇生态型研究文献的基础上,通过对影响芦苇生态型变异的主要因素——环境因素和遗传因素的分析,以期为芦苇生态型的划分及其可能的形成机制提供新的研究思路。(1)空间尺度的选择应成为研究者分析、划分芦苇生态型的首要定位。在较大的地理空间尺度上,高度异质性的生境导致某些性状的变异式样具有相对的不连续性,可作为不同芦苇生态型鉴别与描述的主要依据;(2)在合理的尺度定位、取样设计和统计分析的基础上开展的表型变异研究,及进一步基于种群水平的分子标记研究(分子指纹特征或特有等位基因),可为芦苇生态型的鉴定、划分提供更为可靠的参考数据,并且可以甄别生境差异(环境响应)和遗传变异对芦苇不同生态型分化的贡献;(3)应同时进行不同生态型的特定性状与功能(株高、茎粗、生物量、生理抗逆性、水体污染物净化能力等)的定位,推动优良基因型的选育与扩繁。

Phytoplankton and bacterioplankton production in a reed-covered water body

Between 1996 and 1998 phytoplanktonic primary production and bacterioplankton production were measured monthly at five sampling stations in the lower Kis-Balaton reservoir. The open water area of the reservoir was rich in phytoplankton and had hypertrophic characteristics, but inside the reed stand (80% of the surface area) phytoplankton biomass and production were substantially (30–50 times) lower. The algal removal efficiency of the lower Kis-Balaton reservoir was 96%. The reservoir had a considerably smaller effect on bacterioplankton removal than on the phytoplankton. The decrease of biomass and production of bacterioplankton in the through-flowing water was approximately 60%. Inside the reed stand the biomass and the production of planktonic bacteria exceeded that of the phytoplankton by several times, suggesting that the release of biodegradable dissolved organic (humic) substances from macrophytes stimulated the metabolism of bacterioplankton. The significant reduction of phytoplankton inside the dense reed stand was primarily the result of the shading effect of the reeds. In the open water area a shading experiment demonstrated that a 1-week residence period for planktonic algae in the reed-covered area was sufficient for their complete elimination. The decomposition of planktonic algae, reed material and the lack of primary production inside the reed stand created oxygen-deficient and phosphorus-rich conditions during the vegetative period. These results suggest that reed-covered water bodies can effectively retain suspended solids and planktonic algae, but because of decomposition processes they cannot retain biologically-available phosphorus.     

Food competition and niche separation between fish and the Red-necked Grebe Podiceps grisegena (Boddaert, 1783)

During the breeding season, the aquatic bird Red-necked Grebe Podiceps grisegena feeds on small aquatic animals, which are also an important food source for many fish species. Because grebes have to provide substantial amounts of invertebrates to their brood, competitive interactions with fish may be expected during the breeding season of grebes. Based on this hypothesis, the distribution of Red-necked Grebes, the abundances of macroinvertebrates, fish, and vegetation, as well as the water depth were determined in a shallow lake during two consecutive breeding seasons. The Red-necked Grebes only utilised the reed bed as breeding site, whereas the adjacent Lagoon, although potentially suitable as breeding site, was not used. Macroinvertebrate biomass was 5–10 times higher in the reed beds than in the Lagoon. The abundance of fish was low in the reed bed but considerably higher in the Lagoon. The results indicate habitat separation between breeding Red-necked Grebe and fish in Lake Tåkern, and that the separation is related to distribution of food resources birds and fish have in common.
