苦竹叶片碳氮磷化学计量特征的海拔梯度效应

为揭示海拔梯度对苦竹林立竹叶片碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)化学计量特征的影响,该文以3个海拔梯度[低海拔,(200±10) m;中海拔,(400±10) m;高海拔,(800±10) m]苦竹林为研究对象,测定1至3年生立竹叶片C、N、P含量,分析其化学计量特征和异速增长关系。结果表明:(1)立竹年龄对苦竹叶片C、N、P含量及其化学计量特征影响明显,随立竹年龄的增大,苦竹叶片C、N、P含量和N∶P总体上均呈降低趋势,而C∶N、C∶P总体上呈升高趋势。(2)海拔对苦竹叶片C、N、P含量及其化学计量特征有重要影响,随海拔梯度升高,不同年龄立竹叶片C含量呈先升高后下降变化趋势,N、P含量总体上呈降低趋势,而C∶N、C∶P和N∶P均呈升高趋势。(3)不同海拔梯度苦竹林立竹叶片C、N、P含量和C∶N、C∶P差异显著,中、高海拔苦竹林立竹叶片N∶P无显著差异,均显著高于低海拔苦竹林;不同海拔梯度苦竹林立竹叶片C、N、P间呈显著的正异速增长关系,随海拔梯度的升高,C-N、C-P异速增长指数显著升高,而N-P异速增长指数显著下降。综上结果表明,高海拔苦竹林虽然N、P利用效率提高,但立竹叶片C含量较低,P限制性作用增强;中海拔苦竹林不但具有较高的N、P利用效率,而且立竹叶片C含量高,说明中海拔是苦竹林丰产培育的适宜海拔。     

不同海拔云南松林土壤养分及其生态化学计量特征

模拟氮沉降对杉木幼苗细根的生理生态影响

细根对氮沉降的生理生态响应将显著影响森林生态系统的生产力和碳吸存。为了揭示氮沉降对杉木细根的生理生态影响,对一年生杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)幼苗进行了模拟氮沉降试验,并测定施氮1年后杉木幼苗细根生物量、细根形态学特征(比根长、比表面积)、元素化学计量学指标(C、N、P、C/N、C/P、N/P)、细根代谢特征(细根比呼吸速率、非结构性碳水化合物)。结果表明:(1)杉木细根生物量随氮添加水平的升高而显著降低,尤其是0—1 mm细根生物量;细根比根长和比表面积随氮添加水平升高而显著增大。(2)氮添加后杉木细根C含量、C/N、C/P显著降低,高氮添加导致1—2 mm细根N含量和N/P显著升高,而低氮添加导致1—2 mm细根P含量显著升高、N/P显著降低,而0—1 mm细根的N、P含量则保持相对稳定。(3)氮添加后杉木细根比呼吸速率无显著变化,细根可溶性糖含量随氮添加增加而显著增加,而淀粉含量和NSC显著降低。综合以上结果表明:氮添加后用于细根形态构建的碳分配减少,这可能会减少土壤中有机碳的保留,0—1 mm细根的形态更易发生变化,但是其内部N、P养分含量相对更稳定以维持生理活动,细根NSC对氮添加的响应表明施氮可能导致细根受光合产物的限制。     

The effects of phylogeny,life-history traits and altitude on the carbon,nitrogen, and phosphorus contents of seeds across 203 species from an alpine meadow

Seed reserves are very important to the earlier growth and survival of plants, and its variation in nutrient contents might make species to form different germination or seedlings growth strategies. Here, 203 species collected from an alpine meadow on the northeastern Qinghai–Tibet plateau were used to test the effects of phylogenetic groups, life-history traits, and altitude on carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) contents of seeds across species. The results showed that (1) seeds of Brassicaceae had the highest C content, those of Fabaceae had the highest N content, and Asteraceae had the highest P content, and family explained independently 32.7%, 46.4%, and 17.9% of the variation in C, N, and P contents of seeds, respectively; (2) the smaller seeds tended to have higher C and P contents, and seed mass explained independently 2.5% of variation in C, 4.3% in N, and 8.1% in P contents; (3) N content was explained 1% independently by life form, seeds N content of perennials was significantly higher than that of annals, but seeds C and P contents had non-significant difference between them; (4) seeds of wind-adapted species had higher N and P contents, and dispersal mode explained independently 1.7% of variation in C, 1.6% in N, and 5.6% in P contents; (5) seeds from high altitude had the highest N and P contents, and altitude explained independently 4.3% of the variation in N and 4% in P contents.     

Mineral nutrient stoichiometric variability in Hedera helix (Araliaceae) seeds

Background and Aims

The analysis of variability in mineral allocation to seeds has rarely been considered in relation to allometric patterns and deviations from the allometric trajectory. Here, I examine the scaling of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) with seed mass in field-collected seeds of Hedera helix, taking into account that brood size might influence the allocation patterns.

Methods

C, N and S contents of 56 individual seeds of different sizes were analysed by combustion using a standard automated CNHS procedure. P content was determined for 200 individual seeds using spectrophotometry after acid digestion of ashed samples. This sample included seeds from different brood sizes.

Key Results

C and N content both varied isometrically with seed mass and this variable explained most of the variation in their content in seeds. P and S, however, varied allometrically with seed mass. Additionally, seed mass only explained 37·3 % and 37·6 % of the total variance in P and S content, respectively. Seeds with higher mass contained proportionately more P and, furthermore, the seeds from small broods contained proportionally more P than those from large broods.

Conclusions

Although seed mass in this species can be used as a surrogate of investment in C and N, it does not account for variability in allocation of nutrients such as P and S. The fact that larger seeds increased their P concentration when found in smaller broods might be a consequence of intense competition for this nutrient among developing seeds. Then, brood size may influence the mineral nutrient concentration of seeds.     

古尔班通古特沙漠植物种子大小变异的空间格局

在古尔班通古特沙漠70个固定样地中采集了87种植物种子,通过测量种子百粒重,分析了种子大小在不同分类群中的变异规律,并调查了样地中不同类型种子总数目的空间格局。结果发现:1)古尔班通古特沙漠植物种子大小可分为:A(0.1—1 mg)、B(1—10 mg)、C(10—100 mg)、D(100—1000 mg)、E(1000—5000 mg)5种类型。拥有不同类型物种数量差异较大,其中D型种子物种最多,含41种占总物种数目的 47.1%,其次C型种子30种占总物种数目的 34.5%,E型种子占总物种数的13.8%,B型种子总物种数的3.5%,A型种子占总物种数的1.1%。沙漠植物中中等种子大小物种占多数,与以色列特拉维夫以北的Poleg自然保护区地中海沿岸沙漠地区相似。由于本地属、种为地中海区、西亚至中亚分布,所以认为本沙漠种子大小主要受系统演化影响。2)科间种子大小存在极显著差异,百粒重最大科是蓼科(29315 mg)、最小的是列当科(0.3 mg)。藜科,菊科,紫草科的属间种子大小差异显著。3)生活型间种子大小差异显著,种子大小从大到小排序为:灌木类短命植物多年生草本短命植物半灌木1年生草本。4)种子大小与物种相对分布频度相关性不显著,但将相对分布频度小于1.4%的环境特化物种去除后,种子大小与物种相对分布频度呈指数型极显著负相关。5)B型、C型、D型三类种子在样地中的总数目随海拔、经度和降水的增加而极显著增加,随纬度的增加而极显著降低,E型种子则与之相反。表明古尔班通古特沙漠未来随着降水的增加,B型、C型、D型种子的植物优势性逐渐增加,而E型种子的灌木类等物种优势性逐渐减少,注意加以保护。     

太白山独叶草无性系分株营养元素含量对异质环境的响应

以分布在太白山国家森林公园3个海拔高度的游击型克隆植物独叶草为研究对象，分析测定了不同分株营养器官中C、N、P、K和Mg含量.结果表明：分株年龄、海拔梯度以及分株年龄与海拔梯度的交互作用对独叶草分株各营养器官全碳含量的影响不显著(P>0.05)，对全氮、全磷、K和Mg含量的影响程度各不相同，说明独叶草无性系分株通过自身的生理代谢调整了各器官中营养元素的分配.在高海拔生境中，分株年龄显著影响独叶草无性系分株各器官的K含量、根状茎和根中的全氮含量(P<0.05).除了中海拔(2 800～2 900 m) 独叶草无性系分株的K与全氮、全磷和Mg含量相关性不明显外，其他海拔各元素两两间均呈显著相关(P<0.05).这表明高海拔生境中生理可塑性对克隆植物生长的贡献可能比低海拔更大，强的生理可塑性有助于克隆植物在高山环境中有效地利用资源,实现种群扩展、开拓新的生境.这也可能是独叶草在长期演化过程中对异质生境的一种生理响应.     

宝天曼自然保护区两种优势藓类植物C、N、P生态化学计量特征研究

该研究以宝天曼自然保护区两种优势藓类物种大羽藓(Thuidium cymbifolium)和无边提灯藓(Mnium immarginatum)为对象,测定和分析了不同海拔生境条件下苔藓植物绿色组织和土壤的C、N、P含量及其比值。结果表明:该区域内两种藓类植物绿色组织的C、N、P含量范围是46.81%~49.09%、0.21%~0.25%、0.02%~0.08%;不同元素在海拔间存在较大差异,具体表现为大羽藓的C、N含量在不同海拔间差异显著,无边提灯藓的N、P含量在不同海拔梯度间差异显著,但总体仅N元素随海拔的上升表现出显著下降的趋势;土壤的C、N、N∶P和C∶P比值总体上表现出随海拔升高而增加的变化趋势,而土壤P含量以及C∶N比值随海拔梯度的变化并未表现出一致的变化趋势;同时,随着土壤C含量增加,大羽藓C含量呈现上升趋势,无边提灯藓呈现下降趋势;随着土壤N元素含量的增加,两种藓类物种表现的趋势仍然与前者一致;随着土壤P元素含量的升高,大羽藓的N∶P显著下降,而无边提灯藓的N∶P则显著上升;此外,叶片N∶P均值为8.51,介于14和16之间,说明植物生长受N元素的限制。以上结果说明:两种藓类植物对土壤P元素利用上存在差异,导致两种藓类化学计量学特征的变化,且与全球尺度相比,该区域的藓类植物的生长共同受到了土壤N含量的限制作用。该研究结果为预测藓类植物营养元素的限制情况和生态适应机制提供了参考。     

The effect of mineral elements on the maturity of peanut seed

A greenhouse study was conducted to determine the effect, of certain nutrient elements, on the maturing peanut. Peanut fruits were grown in fruiting zones, which contained a complete nutrient medium, for 15 days. Individual plants were then cultured to maturity whilst allowing the fruit to develop in a nutrient medium which contained the complete nutrient (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and B) from which one element had been excluded. Except in the ‘minus B’ treatment, the basal seed weighed more than 500 mg. In the head seed the “minus Ca” treatment produced the lowest number of seeds which weighed 500 mg or more and P, K and B deficiencies produced not quite such low numbers of seeds above 500 mg. When basal and head seeds were grouped into 3 grades of fresh weights, those from Ca and K deficiencies produced smaller dry weights in seeds harvested on the 80th day. Seeds from a Ca deficient medium had a smaller lipid content and an increased sugar content. The starch content of the seed was decreased by K deficiency.     

Effect of salinity on composition, viability and germination of seeds of Chenopodium quinoa Willd

Salinity influences plant growth, seed yield and seed quality even of halophytic crops such as Chenopodium quinoa. Plant growth, total seed yield, number of seeds, fresh weight and dry weight of seeds, were all significantly reduced in the presence of salinity. Only at high salinity did the content of proteins (as well as total N) increase significantly in the seeds whereas the content of total carbohydrates (as well as total C) decrease. Aside from that the capacity for germination was diminished by a reduced seed size and a disproportionate reduction of the volume of the perisperm. However, the reduced capacity seemed to be compensated by an accelerated germination owing to high Na and Cl concentrations leading to a low water potential in the walls of the plant ovary. At high salinity the passage of NaCl to the seed interior was hindered by the seed cover. There was an obvious gradient between potentially toxic (Na and Cl) and essentially needed elements (K, Mg, Ca, P and S) across the seed coat of salt treated plants and also a significant change of the distribution of elements in the embryo. The results indicate a highly protected seed interior leading to a high salinity resistance of quinoa seeds.     

Effect of N source during soybean pod filling on nitrogen and sulfur assimilation and remobilization

During pod filling, a grain legume remobilizes vegetative nitrogen and sulfur to its developing fruit. This study was conducted to determine whether different nitrogen sources affected N and S assimilation and remobilization during pod filling. Well-nodulated plants fed 1.0 mM KNO₃, 0.5 mM urea, or 2.5 mM urea assimilated 0%, 37%, or 114% more N, respectively, and 25%, 46%, or 56% more S, respectively, than did the average non-nodulated control plant fed 5.0 mM KNO₃. Thus, N source during pod filling greatly affected both N and S assimilation. Depending upon N source, plant N concentration during pod filling decreased from 2.96% to between 1.36% and 1.82%. Non-nodulated control plants fed 5.0 mM KNO₃ had the highest residual N at harvest. During the same treatments, plant S concentration decreased from 0.246% to a relatively uniform 0.215%. Thus, during pod filling, vegetative N was seemingly remobilized more efficiently (38–54%) than was S (13%). N source also affected seed yield and seed quality. Non-nodulated control plants fed 5.0 mM KNO₃ produced the lowest yield (21.1 g seeds plant^-1), whereas well nodulated plants fed 1.0 mM KNO₃, 0.5 mM urea, or 2.5 mM urea produced yields of 26.2 g, 31.8 g, and 36.7 g seeds plant^-1, respectively. Non-nodulated plants fed 2.5 mM urea yielded 28.6 g of seeds plant^-1. Seed N concentrations of non-nodulated plants and nodulated plants fed 2.5 mM urea were high, 6.30% and 6.11% N, respectively, whereas their seed S concentrations were low, 0.348% and 0.330% S, respectively. N sources that produced both a relatively high seed yield and seed N concentration (i.e., a relatively high total seed N plant^-1) produced a proportionately smaller increase in total seed sulfur. Consequently, seed quality, as judged solely by seed S concentration, was lowered.     

古尔班通古特沙漠水热梯度变化对短命植物生态化学计量特征影响

以古尔班通古特沙漠2种优势短命植物尖喙牻牛儿苗(Erodium oxyrhinchum M. Bieb.)和东方旱麦草(Eremopyrum orientale (L.) Jaubert & Spach)为研究对象,通过盆栽控制实验,设定2个温度梯度以及3个水分梯度,对它们在不同温、湿度处理下的C、N、P含量及其化学计量比的变化特点进行分析。结果显示：(1)温度显著影响尖喙牻牛儿苗的N、P、C∶P、N∶P以及东方旱麦草的C、N、P、C∶N、N∶P;水分显著影响2种短命植物的N、P、C∶N、C∶P以及东方旱麦草的N∶P,其中N含量随温度的变化符合温度-生物地球化学假说,而P含量随温度的变化符合温度-植物生理假说。(2)温度和水分的交互作用对2种植物的影响表现为：在高温处理时,随着水分梯度的增加,2种植物的N、P含量先升高再下降,C∶N、C∶P、N∶P先下降再升高;在低温处理时,尖喙牻牛儿苗的N、P含量变化与水分梯度呈反比,C∶P变化与水分梯度呈正比,而东方旱麦草化学计量变化差异不显著。(3)相关性分析结果表明,温度和水分显著影响2种短命植物各元素之间的相关关系,植物的生长速率和养分限制情况受营养元素的主导调控也随之变化。
