Plant water balance with tritiated water-tracing dynamical method

The conception of "metabolic pool" is introduced and an ecosystem model consisting of sand body metabolic pool, plant metabolic pool, atmospheric pool and their corresponding channels is established. In addition, the input and output terms of water balance including plant transpiration etc. are measured by tritiated water-tracing dynamical method, etc. and thus a water balance table is obtained. Finally, the plant water balance in the steppified desert environment of the Shapotou area at southeastern fringe of Tengger Desert in China is comprehensively analysed.     

宁夏沙坡头地区人工固沙植被种间水分竞争的初步研究

本文通过研究沙坡头地区人工固沙植被中油蒿和柠条对环境资源利用（包括时间,空间和水资源）所表现出的不同生长状况和生理生态特性,阐明了环境条件的动态变化,尤其是沙地表面结皮的形成、降水入渗浅层化对固沙植物水分利用与竞争的重要影响,结果表明,油蒿以其较强蒸腾耗水能力和根系的浅层密集分布,在与柠条的水分竞争中占据优势,能够更好地利用作为唯一水分来源的降水补给。
