南方型杨树人工林土壤呼吸及其组分分析

采用开沟隔离法,利用LI-8100型土壤呼吸测定系统,对15年生的南方型杨树(Populus deltoides)人工林土壤呼吸进行了研究,并试图区分根系呼吸和土壤微生物呼吸。结果表明,开沟隔离处理后的10个月内,由于土壤中被截断根系具有自养呼吸和分解作用,土壤呼吸中的根系呼吸与微生物呼吸尚难以区分。尽管如此,研究表明15年生杨树人工林的土壤总呼吸通量为9.74 tC.hm-.2a-1,其中,枯枝落叶等土壤表层凋落物分解所释放的碳通量是2.63 tC.hm-.2a-1,占总量的27.0%;林木根系呼吸与土壤微生物呼吸通量的和为7.11 tC.hm-.2a-1,占总量的73.0%。土壤各组分呼吸速率与10 cm深处的土壤温度之间存在着显著的指数函数关系。不同直径的杨树根系被截断后的活力变化有所不同,根系越粗,存活时间越长。     

会同和朱亭11年生杉木林能量积累与分配

利用我国杉木中心产区会同和杉木扩大栽培区朱亭测定的杉木林生物量和干物质热值资料的基础上,对会同和朱亭11年生杉木人工林能量积累和分配规律进行研究。结果表明:杉木人工林群落林分能量现存量与立地和气候条件关系密切,朱亭11年生杉木人工林群落林分能量现存量 (9294×10⁸-10894×10⁸J/hm²)显著低于会同(12406×10⁸-14733 ×10⁸J/hm²);同龄林分中,现存能量的数值在一定的林分密度范围内,随密度增加而减少。随密度增加而减少的能量现存量,主要是减少了树干的能量现存量,而枝、叶的能量现存量则保持一定稳定状态;能量在林分各组分的分配比大小依次是干＞根＞叶＞枝,林分各组分能量的分配比大小也与立地和气候条件有关,树干中能量分配比会同(56.8%-61.2%)大于朱亭(47.0%-53.5%),枝叶中能量分配比朱亭(28.3%-34.2%)大于会同(22.2%-25.9%);林分能量现存量的空间分布与林分功能作用层面及对水分和养分交换作用密切相关,林分的地表平面和林冠2/3高度处分配的能量最多。

DROUGHT EFFECTS ON CARBON EXCHANGE IN A SUBTROPICAL CONIFEROUS PLANTATION IN CHINA

 干旱对陆地生态系统的影响已成为全球变化研究的焦点问题之一。该研究基于生态系统过程模型——CEVSA2, 结合涡度相关通量观测, 分析了不同程度干旱对亚热带人工针叶林碳交换的影响及其关键控制因素。结果表明: 1)干旱使生态系统碳交换显著下降, 2003和2004年的干旱使得年净生态系统生产力(Net ecosystem production, NEP)相比无干旱影响情景的模拟结果分别减少了63%和47%; 2)光合和呼吸对干旱具有不同的响应, 干旱时光合的下降比呼吸更为显著, 这导致了NEP的显著下降; 3)当饱和水气压差(Vapor pressure deficit, VPD)达到1.5 kPa以上时, 生态系统的光合、呼吸和净碳吸收均开始下降, 当VPD大于2.5 kPa、土壤相对含水量(土壤含水量/土壤饱和含水量)(Relative soil water content, RSW)低于40%时, 生态系统的碳收支由碳汇转为碳源; 4)土壤干旱是造成碳交换下降的主要驱动因素, 对年NEP下降的平均贡献率为46%, 而大气干旱的贡献率仅为4%。

Identification of differentially expressed proteins in poplar leaves induced by Marssonina brunnea f. Sp. Multigermtubi

Black spot disease in poplar is a disease of the leaf caused by fungus. The major pathogen is Marssonina brunnea f. sp. multigermtubi. To date, little is known about the molecular mechanism of poplar （M. brunnea） interaction. In order to identify the proteins related to disease resistance and understand its molecular basis, the clone ＂NL895＂ （P. euramericana CL＂NL895＂）, which is highly resistant to M. brunnea f. sp. multigermtubi, was used in this study. We used two-dimensional gel electrophoresis （2-DE） and mass spectrometry （MS） to identify the proteins in poplar leaves that were differentially expressed in response to black spot disease pathogen, M. brunnea f. sp. multigermtubi. Proteins extracted from poplar leaves at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after pathogen-inoculation were separated by 2-DE, About 500 reproducible protein spots were detected, of which 40 protein spots displayed differential expression in levels and were subjected to Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF MS） followed by database searching. According to the function, the identified proteins were sorted into five categories, that is, protein synthesis, metabolism, defense response and unclassified proteins.     

Species diversity and interspecific association in development sequence of Hippophae rhamnoides plantations in the Loess Hilly Region, China

Based on our field investigation, we analyzed the characteristics of species diversity and interspecific association at different development stages of Hippohae rhamnoides plantations. The results show that the species diversities of the shrub layer, grass layer and the whole community of the H. rhamnoides plantations all fluctu-ated in an "S" shape pattern. At different development stages, the species richness and diversity were higher in the grass layer than in the shrub layer. The shrub species diversity was lower on bare land, but increased gradually with development of the community. The shrub evenness index was higher in 13-year forest stand, while the grass diversity index was higher in the 3-year and 25-year plan-tations and lower in the 8-year plantation. The positive and negative absolute values of interspecific association between H. rhamonides and other principal species chan-ged in a parabolic pattern. The significance level and intensity of interspecific association were lower or weaker in thel3-year plantation, indicating that the species sub-stitution rate slowed down, competition became less intense and community composition and its structure reached a relatively stable state. Therefore, to improve the ecological environment, priority should be given to the protection of the H. rhamnoides plantations younger than 13 years, while for those of 25 year plantations, mod-erate thinning should be made to promote their regenera-tion.     

Perceptions of biodiversity, environmental services, and conservation of planted mangroves: a case study on Nijhum Dwip Island, Bangladesh

Restoration of mangroves is often considered a way to minimize losses incurred from their decline and to provide additional services to coastal communities. However, the success of restoration programs is often focused on biological or ecological criteria. The situation is no exception in Bangladesh, which houses the world’s largest mangrove plantations. This study has been undertaken in a south-central estuarine island (Nijhum Dwip) of the Bangladesh coast and aims to understand societal perception on the achievements of a plantation program. Through 110 household interviews and seven group discussions, an assessment was conducted of peoples’ perception about major flora and fauna of the mangrove ecosystem, benefits derived from the forest, present condition of the forest, causes of degradation, and ways to improve the situation. Around one-fourth of the respondents mentioned that they were highly dependent on the ecosystem. The most important perceived benefits were: provision of raw materials, prevention against natural disasters, climate regulation and soil retention. However, the majority (>80%) of the respondents perceived the ecosystem to be degrading. Encroachment and illicit felling were identified as the main causes of such degradation. In order to arrest the continued degradation allowed by conventional forest management flaws, adaptive co-management has been recommended to conserve this ecosystem in a more equitable way.     

Effects of Forest Use on Aphyllophoraceous Fungal Community Structure in Sarawak, Malaysia

Aphyllophoraceous fungi are expected to reflect changes in the environmental conditions caused by forest use. To reveal the effects of forest uses on the fungal community structure, we performed a 3‐month survey of aphyllophoraceous species in five forest types (undisturbed primary forest, isolated patches of primary forest, old and young fallow forest, and rubber plantations) in Sarawak, Malaysia in 2005. We used a canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) to reveal the relationships between fungal community composition and the environmental variables (canopy openness, soil water potential, amount and composition of coarse woody debris, litter mass, basal area, plant species composition). A total of 155 samples from 67 species were collected during the study period. The fungal species density represented by the number of species in a transect differed significantly among forest types. The fungal species density increased significantly with increasing number of pieces of coarse woody debris (CWD), but decreased significantly with increasing the scores of second axis of principal component analysis (PCA) for plant species composition. In the CCA ordination, automatic forward selection revealed that only the number of pieces of CWD significantly affected the fungal species composition. The occurrences of Flabellophora licmophora, Coriolopsis retropicta, Microporus vernicipes, and Amauroderma subrugosum were positively correlated with the number of pieces of CWD. Our study clearly demonstrated that forest use negatively affected aphyllophoraceous fungal diversity and suggest that the quantity of CWD would be an important determinant of fungal diversity and composition.
