高寒草甸矮生嵩草不同根序解剖结构对生境干旱化的响应

植物根系由不同根序组成,然而,它们的解剖结构对生境干旱化的响应是否一致尚不清楚。本研究于藏东南东达山矮生嵩草(Kobresia humilis)高寒草甸沿生境干旱化梯度设置6个样方,采集矮生嵩草根系。采用石蜡切片法,运用方差分析和主成分分析,比较不同土壤水分生境中矮生嵩草一、二级根序解剖结构的差异及可塑性强弱。结果表明：一、二级根序间解剖结构组成无明显差异,其中横切面表皮细胞近似长方形,排列紧密,面积较大(87.6～126.0μm²);一、二级根序解剖结构对生境干旱化的响应不一致,一级根中表皮细胞面积和厚度、皮层厚度(含厚壁组织与薄壁组织)均与土壤含水率呈显著负相关,而二级根呈显著正相关(P<0.05);一级根表皮占径比在土壤水分梯度间的差异显著,其他解剖结构差异不显著,二级根解剖结构(除皮层厚壁组织外)的占径比在土壤水分梯度间均存在显著差异;一级根皮层薄壁组织厚度可塑性最强,皮层厚壁组织厚度可塑性最弱;二级根横切面面积可塑性最强,中柱面积可塑性最弱。总之,矮生嵩草根系表皮、皮层解剖结构对土壤水分梯度变化的可塑性强,但不同根序解剖结构对生境干旱化的响应机制不...     

高寒退化与未退化草甸土壤下匍匐茎鹅绒萎陵菜的克隆生长特征的比较

通过鹅绒萎陵菜的野外移栽试验,分析了在矮嵩草草甸土壤和退化草甸土壤下该种植物的克隆繁殖特征．结果表明,在母株产生的匍匈茎数量、母株高度和叶片大小在两类不同土壤下没有明显差异．母株叶片数、匍匈茎的粗度、匍匈茎长度以及间隔子的长度有较明显的差异．在退化草甸土壤中母株叶片较多,匍匈茎长度和间隔子长度明显较长,匍匈茎直径也明显较大．在退化草甸环境中,由于土壤养分相对较缺乏,鹅绒萎陵菜可能通过增加母株叶片的数量,尽可能多地积累光合产物,来保证匍匈茎的生长,匍匈茎也以增加粗度和增加长度来尽量增强其觅食能力．鹅绒萎陵菜在生物量投资分配上也表现出一定的差异．与退化草甸土壤环境相比,在未退化草甸土壤中,鹅绒委陵菜克隆母株和分株的生物量均明显偏向地下部分(根系)的投资,以期从土壤中吸收更多的养分,从而最终提高子株的成活率．     

高寒草甸矮蒿草种群的放牧中构件种群的反应特性

研究了不同放牧强度下高寒矮嵩草草甸建群种矮蒿草构件种群的数量在放牧第四年和１停牧１年后的季节动态性与反应。结果表明,放牧强度增加,矮嵩草每分株中分蘖和叶片的数量增加,累积存活叶片数达到最大值的时间推迟。     

模拟增温对青藏高原多年冻土区小嵩草和藏嵩草生长与抗氧化特征的影响

采用开顶式增温小室(OTCs)方法模拟气候变暖,分别选取青藏高原腹地风火山地区高寒小嵩草草甸和高寒藏嵩草沼泽草甸优势物种小嵩草和藏嵩草为研究对象,对比分析增温处理下两种优势物种叶片的形态与生理特征变化,从而探索高寒植物对气候变暖的内在响应机理.结果表明: 增温显著增加了小嵩草叶片长度(40.0%)和叶片数量(72.7%),也显著增加了藏嵩草株高(11.9%)和叶片长度(19.3%),促进了两种优势植物的形态生长和地上生物量增加.增温处理下小嵩草和藏嵩草叶片的膜透性(电导率),活性氧(过氧化氢和超氧阴离子自由基),超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性,丙二醛含量均没有显著变化.但抗坏血酸和游离脯氨酸含量在藏嵩草叶片内分别显著增加了29.8%和53.8%,而在小嵩草叶片内没有明显变化.可见,增温下小嵩草和藏嵩草均能够维持正常的抗氧化水平,以维持该区域优势植物生长;但藏嵩草生理过程对增温更加敏感.     

不同放牧强度下矮嵩草（Kobresiahumilis）无性系分株种群的动态与调节

以矮嵩草无性系分株和分蘖分别作为其种群的基本单元,对不同放牧强度下种群的动态与调节进行了研究。结果表明：随着放牧强度的增加,每分株的分蘖数,叶片数及分株个体地上生物量增加。分初期和末期较高,而且都不属于密度制约性的死亡。矮嵩草我重种群结构水平的数量调节是由最外层次（叶片层次）的数量变化引起的,进而影响到较内层次上结构单元的大小和数量。     

西藏东达山3种嵩草属植物气孔特征沿海拔的变化

嵩草属(Kobresia)植物是藏东南高山草甸的优势种和建群种,对该区畜牧业发展和维持生态系统平衡起着重要作用。选择西藏左贡县东达山为研究地点,从林线开始,海拔每升高约100m设置1个样带直至高山草甸分布边缘,共8个样带,调查各样带中物种的组成及盖度,并依据相对盖度和相对频度计算3种嵩草植物矮生嵩草(K.humilis)、线叶嵩草(K.capillifolia)和大花嵩草(K.macrantha)在群落中的重要值,同时取样观察它们叶片远、近轴面表皮细胞形态,测量气孔长度及保卫细胞宽度,计算气孔密度,探讨嵩草属植物对海拔梯度的适应性。结果表明:(1)3种嵩草属植物叶表皮细胞均呈波浪状,气孔器仅分布于远轴面,近轴面无气孔器分布。(2)3种嵩草属植物气孔密度沿海拔梯度的变化均呈单峰曲线分布格局,且在海拔4 537m样带处达到最大值,并表现为矮生嵩草(777.6个/mm2)线叶嵩草(476.4个/mm2)大花嵩草(414.3个/mm2)。(3)随海拔的增加,矮生嵩草和线叶嵩草气孔长度显著增大(P0.05),而保卫细胞宽度显著减小;但大花嵩草气孔长度随海拔的升高而显著减小,保卫细胞宽度基本保持不变。(4)矮生嵩草和线叶嵩草气孔密度、长度和保卫细胞宽度与海拔梯度均显著相关,气孔特征对海拔梯度变化的敏感程度高,与其在群落中重要值高的分布特征一致;而大花嵩草仅气孔密度和长度与海拔梯度显著相关,气孔特征对海拔梯度变化的敏感性低,与其在群落中重要值低的分布特征一致;嵩草属植物气孔密度、长度和保护细胞宽度与海拔梯度之间的相关性,反映出它们在海拔梯度上对生境的适应程度。可见,3种嵩草属植物气孔特征对海拔梯度上生境变化的适应性不同,从而影响它们在群落中的分布范围和物种优势度,其中矮生嵩草和线叶嵩草对环境变化敏感,而大花嵩草对环境变化相对不敏感;保卫细胞宽度与气孔长度同样对植物适应环境变化起重要作用。     

高寒草甸矮嵩草种群的放牧中构件种群的反应特性

研究了不同放牧强度下高寒矮嵩草草甸建群种矮嵩草 (Kobresia humilis)构件种群的数量在放牧第四年 (1991年 )和停牧 1年后 (1993年 )的季节动态特性与反应。结果表明 ,随放牧强度增加 ,矮嵩草每分株中分蘖和叶片的数量增加 ,累积存活叶片数达到最大值的时间推迟。在各放牧处理下 ,分蘖数、生殖枝数和累积总叶数具有相同的季节动态过程。分蘖出生率分别在 5月中下旬和 8月下旬各有 1个高峰期 ,死亡率高峰在生长季末。叶片出生率和死亡率的周期与分蘖同步 ,叶片出生率和死亡率大小的变化也同步。矮嵩草分蘖和叶片群体的存活曲线类型分属“Deevey I”型和“阶梯”形 ,且不受放牧强度的影响。停牧 1年后 ,矮嵩草分蘖和叶片群体在放牧强度处理间的数量差异仍然存在     

不同放牧强度下矮嵩草（Kobresia humilis）无性系分株种群的动调

以矮嵩草无性系分株和分蘖分别作为其种群的基本单元,对不同放牧强度下种群的动态与调节进行了研究。结果表明：随着放牧强度的增加,每分株的分蘖数、叶片数及分株个体地上生物量均增加．分蘖死亡率和叶片死亡率在各处理间差异不显著。分蘖死亡率的高峰出现在生长季末,叶片死亡率在生长初期和末期较高,而且都不属于密度制约性的死亡。矮嵩草多重种群结构水平的数量调节是由最外层次（叶片层次）的数量变化引起的,进而影响到较内层次上结构单元的大小和数量。     

刈割、施肥和浇水对矮嵩草补偿生长的影响

通过对青海海北高寒矮嵩草(Kobresia humilis)草甸进行为期3年的野外控制试验, 研究了刈割(留茬1 cm、3 cm及不刈割)、施肥(2.5 g·m^-2尿素+ 0.6 g·m^-2磷酸二胺、不施肥)和浇水(20.1 kg·m^-2、不浇水)处理对矮嵩草补偿生长(包括分株密度、株高和分株地上生物量)的影响, 及其比叶面积、叶片净光合速率和相对增长率的变化, 探讨矮嵩草补偿生长的机制。研究结果表明: 刈割后, 矮嵩草的补偿生长高度和比叶面积显著降低; 分株密度有增加的趋势, 但会随刈割强度的增加而下降; 株高和生物量的相对增长率随刈割强度的增加而呈上升趋势; 补偿地上生物量在重度刈割处理下最高。施肥能显著增加矮嵩草的补偿高度、分株密度、补偿地上生物量、株高相对增长率、生物量相对增长率、比叶面积和净光合速率; 与不浇水处理相比, 浇水处理对重度刈割处理下的分株地上生物量、密度相对增长率、比叶面积和净光合速率无影响, 而显著降低了中度刈割处理下的补偿高度和株高相对增长率, 提高了不刈割处理下的分株密度和重度刈割处理下的生物量相对增长率。刈割、施肥和浇水处理的交互作用也显示出刈割与施肥对矮嵩草补偿生长具有拮抗效应, 而刈割与浇水具有协同效应。上述结果说明, 矮嵩草在刈割后可通过增加分株密度和相对增长率等途径来提高补偿能力, 弥补在生长高度上出现的低补偿, 而施肥可显著抵消刈割的不利影响, 提高矮嵩草的补偿能力。     

空心莲子草叶甲对越冬保护的响应与控害效能

空心莲子草叶甲Agasicles hygrophila是入侵杂草空心莲子草Alternan thera philoxeroide的重要天敌,冬春季低温冰冻是影响其安全越冬的关键胁迫因子。为了探明采取保护措施是否能提高越冬后的种群基数问题,在低温冰冻天气来临前,用塑料膜覆盖网室构建空心莲子草与空心莲子草叶甲保护生境(PH),分低温期(2009年1月21日至4月9日)、升温期(4月15日至5月1日)与自然生境(NH)中叶甲成虫初现期(从6月1日至29日)3个阶段,调查比较PH与NH两类生境中空心莲子草叶甲种群数量、结构、空间生态位分布特征及控害效能。结果表明:在保护生境中,低温期空心莲子草叶甲不休眠,且能安全越冬,当晴天温度较高时,成虫主要在直立茎或嫩枝上活动取食、补充营养,而在阴雨低温天气则停留在匍匐草层或土壤表层、缝隙中,少活动。随着气温回升,成虫转移到直立茎生态位上活动取食,并于4月上旬开始产卵繁殖,种群数量迅速增加,对空心莲子草的地上部分有较好的控制效果。在自然生境中,直到6月初才见少量成虫活动,此时草生长茂密,较低的空心莲子草叶甲种群难以发挥生防因子的作用。比较两种生境中6月1日与6月15日的控草效果显示,空心莲子草株高增长率分别为:PH-13.91%,NH-2.94%,NH中空心莲子草株高极显著高于PH,且单株生物量的控制率为PH(47.56%)极显著高于NH(4.89%)。在6月15日与29日的调查表明,单株叶片控制效果PH极显著优于NH,PH中的空心莲子草茎上均无叶,叶片或被取食殆尽、或被害后干枯脱落。茎被害率、茎蛀孔数与蛀茎率均为PH极显著高于NH。结果说明覆膜保护能显著提高叶甲越冬种群基数,使其提前进入繁殖期,从而能更有效地控制生境中的空心莲子草。     

Changes in plant biomass and species composition of alpine <Emphasis Type="Italic">Kobresia</Emphasis> meadows along altitudinal gradient on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Alpine Kobresia meadows are major vegetation types on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. There is growing concern over their relationships among biodiversity, productivity and environments. Despite the importance of species composition, species richness, the type of different growth forms, and plant biomass structure for Kobresia meadow ecosystems, few studies have been focused on the relationship between biomass and environmental gradient in the Kobresia meadow plant communities, particularly in relation to soil moisture and edaphic gradients. We measured the plant species composition, herbaceous litter, aboveground and belowground biomass in three Kobresia meadow plant communities in Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station from 2001 to 2004. Community differences in plant species composition were reflected in biomass distribution. The total biomass showed a decrease from 13196.96±719.69 g/m2 in the sedge-dominated K. tibetica swamp to 2869.58±147.52 g/m2 in the forb and sedge dominated K. pygmaea meadow, and to 2153.08±141.95 g/m2 in the forbs and grasses dominated K. humilis along with the increase of altitude. The vertical distribution of belowground biomass is distinct in the three meadow communities, and the belowground biomass at the depth of 0-10 cm in K. tibetica swamp meadow was significantly higher than that in K. humilis and K. pygmaea meadows (P＜0.01). The herbaceous litter in K. tibetica swamp was significantly higher than those in K. pygnaeca and K. humilis meadows. The effects of plant litter are enhanced when ground water and soil moisture levels are raised. The relative importance of litter and vegetation may vary with soil water availability. In the K. tibetica swamp, total biomass was negatively correlated to species richness (P＜0.05); aboveground biomass was positively correlated to soil organic matter, soil moisture, and plant cover (P＜0.05); belowground biomass was positively correlated with soil moisture (P＜0.05). However, in the K. pygnaeca and K. humilis meadow communities, aboveground biomass was positively correlated to soil organic matter and soil total nitrogen (P＜0.05). This suggests that the distribution of biomass coincided with soil moisture and edaphic gradient in alpine meadows.     

Changes in plant biomass and species composition of alpine Kobresia meadows along altitudinal gradient on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Alpine Kobresia meadows are major vegetation types on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. There is growing concern over their relationships among biodiversity, productivity and environments. Despite the im-portance of species composition, species richness, the type of different growth forms, and plant bio-mass structure for Kobresia meadow ecosystems, few studies have been focused on the relationship between biomass and environmental gradient in the Kobresia meadow plant communities, particularly in relation to soil moisture and edaphic gradients. We measured the plant species composition, her-baceous litter, aboveground and belowground biomass in three Kobresia meadow plant communities in Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station from 2001 to 2004. Community differences in plant species composition were reflected in biomass distribution. The total biomass showed a de-crease from 13196.96±719.69 g/m2 in the sedge-dominated K. tibetica swamp to 2869.58±147.52 g/m2 in the forb and sedge dominated K. pygmaea meadow, and to 2153.08±141.95 g/m2 in the forbs and grasses dominated K. humilis along with the increase of altitude. The vertical distribution of below-ground biomass is distinct in the three meadow communities, and the belowground biomass at the depth of 0-10 cm in K. tibetica swamp meadow was significantly higher than that in K. humilis and K. pygmaea meadows (P<0.01).

青藏高原高寒草甸两种优势植物的生长及其CNP化学计量特征对模拟增温的响应

以青藏高原高寒草甸和高寒沼泽中的两种优势物种小嵩草(Kobresia pygmaea)和藏嵩草(Kobresia tibetica)为研究对象,采用开顶式增温室(OTCs)模拟气候变暖,对比分析两种植物叶片形态和解剖结构特征、根活性及地上—地下部分化学计量特征对增温的响应差异。结果表明:增温显著增加了小嵩草叶片的长度和叶片的数量,也显著增加了藏嵩草株高和叶片长度;增温没有明显改变小嵩草和藏嵩草的叶片上表皮厚度、下表皮厚度、下表皮细胞角质层厚度、叶肉细胞长和叶肉细胞宽;增温增加了小嵩草根系活跃吸收面积,对小嵩草和藏嵩草其他根系活性指标没有显著影响;增温降低了小嵩草地上部分N含量,对小嵩草地上部分C、P含量没有影响;增温降低了藏嵩草地上部分C、N含量,对P含量没有影响;增温增加了小嵩草和藏嵩草地上部分C/N比,提高了两种优势植物对氮素的长期利用效率;增温对小嵩草地下部分化学计量学特征没有影响,而降低了藏嵩草地下部分C含量和C/N比。     

Plastic responses that confer invasiveness to Rivina humilis L.

Rivina humilis L. (Petiveriaceae) is an invasive plant occurring throughout the tropics and subtropics. As successful plant invasion involves phenotypic plasticity; rapid seed germination and high competitiveness through the release of allelochemicals, the reasons behind the ability of R. humilis to establish and thrive under diverse environmental conditions were explored through series of experiments. The influence of different soil types (Alluvial, Alfisol, Vertisol and Laterite), pH (4–10) and nutrient concentrations (0–100%) on seed germination and seedling development of R. humilis were examined. The effect of aqueous leaf or fruit pulp extracts on seed germination and seedling development of different test plants was determined. The role of root endophytic fungi on plant growth was assessed by growing R. humilis in the presence and absence of fungi. Shade tolerance was investigated by growing R. humilis under different light intensities and measuring the photosynthetic rates. The results of the study indicate that R. humilis was able to grow in different soil types and pH levels. As the fruit pulp fails to affect seed germination or development of test plants (finger millet, green gram, brinjal, maize) increasing concentrations of leaf extract negatively influenced these processes. Seed germination of R. humilis decreased at the highest alkaline pH 10 and increasing light intensity negatively affects the leaf chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate and plant growth. The stomatal conductivity and transpiration rate of plants are not consistent under varying light intensities. R. humilis is not mycorrhizal dependent. These results suggest that R. humilis possess a wide range of plastic responses to different environmental conditions that could significantly contribute to the success in invading new habitats.     

不同演替状态下高寒草甸土壤物理性质与植物根系的相互关系

采用空间代时间的方法,以高寒嵩草草甸不同退化演替状态土壤物理性质(土壤机械阻力、温度、湿度)为变量,探讨高寒草甸不同退化阶段土壤物理性质同植物根系生长特质的相互关系。结果表明:高寒嵩草草甸根系分布具有明显的"V"型垂直构型特征;高寒嵩草草甸根系以细根为主,直径0.5 mm的根系占全剖面根系总长的90.8%—93.6%。土壤紧实度和土壤湿度与植物根系直径细化具有显著的正相关关系(P0.05);土壤温度与根系细化之间具有显著的负相关关系(P0.05),且其对高寒嵩草草甸根系生长特性形成的贡献率最高,说明高寒嵩草草甸植物根系生长构型特征的主控因子为温度。高寒嵩草草甸根系细化及表聚现象与土壤物理性质之间具有一定程度的互馈效应。低温、高紧实度和较高的土壤湿度有助于形成高密度和细根构型的草毡表层,这种土壤根系构型也是高寒草甸植物群落为适应放牧干扰及恶劣环境的应激性改变。该发现对明晰草地退化演替过程中生态系统构件对外界干扰改变的响应和适应过程及为制定合理有效的退化高寒草甸恢复措施提了供理论依据。     

Differential effects of water depth and sediment type on clonal growth of the submersed macrophyte <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vallisneria natans</Emphasis>

The response of clonal growth and ramet morphology to water depth (from 60 to 260 cm) and sediment type (sand versus organic clay) was investigated for the stoloniferous submersed macrophyte Vallisneria natans in an outdoor pond experiment. Results showed that water depth significantly affected clonal growth of V. natans in terms of clone weight, number of ramets, number of generations, clonal radius and stolon length. V. natans showed an optimal clonal growth at water depths of 110–160 cm, but at greater depths clonal growth was severely retarded. A high allometric effect was exhibited in ramet morphology. Along the sequentially produced ramet generations, ramet weight and plant height decreased while stolon length and the root:leaf weight ratio increased. When using ramet generations as covariate, sediment type rather than water depth more strongly affected the ramet characteristics. For plants grown in clay, ramet weight, ramet height and stolon length were greater, and plants exhibited lower root:leaf weight ratio. These data suggest that water depth and sediment type have differential effects on clonal growth of V. natans: Water depth appears primarily to affect numerical increase in ramets and spatial spread, whereas sediment type mainly affects biomass accumulation and biomass allocation.

干旱胁迫对欧李幼苗表型可塑性的影响

该研究以欧李为材料,探讨了干旱胁迫对欧李表型可塑性的影响。结果表明:(1)随着干旱胁迫的加剧,欧李根生物量、枝叶生物量、植株总生物量积累、根冠比和根冠比胁迫指数均呈现先升高后降低的趋势,在T1处理下达到最大值,并显著高于其他处理(α=0.05)。(2)随土壤含水量的降低,欧李根的生物量分配指数呈现先增加后降低的趋势,叶生物量与之相反,在T1处理下根的生物量分配指数最大,枝叶的最小(α=0.05)。(3)在水分供应为60%～80%时,欧李的株高、冠幅、基径、二级分枝数、主根长、主根直径及侧根数量均达到最大值(α=0.05),对一级分枝数的生长没有显著影响。(4)随着水分胁迫的加剧,叶片长从T2处理开始下降,叶片宽、单片叶面积及比叶面积均呈现先增加后减少的趋势(α=0.05)。综上可得,欧李通过调整形态特性和各器官生物量积累及其分配对不同干旱胁迫条件产生了较强的可塑性。     

高寒草甸主要植物地上地下生物量分布及退化对根冠比和根系表面积的影响

研究高寒草甸主要植物地上地下生物量的分布及其对退化的响应有利于了解高寒草甸的退化过程。该研究首先在西藏那曲生态环境综合观测研究站小嵩草围栏内(2009年围封)选择原生植被较好的地点随机选择小嵩草(Kobresia pygmaea)、矮嵩草(K.humilis)、紫花针茅(Stipa purpurea)、二裂委陵菜(Potentila bifurca)和青藏苔草(Carex moorcroftii)等5种植物斑块,选择退化斑块上(与原生植被相比)的二裂委陵菜和青藏苔草;然后用烘箱烘至恒重并称重,用扫描仪对根系进行扫描用于估算根系表面积;最后利用2因子方差分析检验不同物种个体、不同取样层次对地上和地下生物量的影响,利用物种和退化状态2因子方差分析检验对地上生物量的影响,以及利用物种、取样层次和退化状态3因子方差分析检验对二裂委陵菜和青藏苔草地下生物量、根冠比和根系表面积的影响。结果表明:在未退化条件下,小嵩草、矮嵩草和紫花针茅0~10cml地下生物量占0~30cm地下生物量的70%以上,0~30cm地下生物量占其地上地下总生物量的96%以上;二裂委陵菜(Potentilla bifurca)和青藏苔草(Carex moorcroftii)0~10cm地下生物量占0~30cml地下生物量的50%以上,其中二裂委陵菜0~30cm地下生物量占其地上地下总生物量的57%,青藏苔草0~30cm地下生物量占其地上地下总生物量的87%;对于退化草甸的主要植物,退化显著降低了二裂委陵菜的地上生物量、地下生物量和根冠比,对其根系表面积影响不大,但显著增加了青藏苔草的地上生物量,降低了其根冠比,对其地下生物量和根系表面积影响不大。
