不同施水量对云杉幼苗生长和生理生态特征的影响

在中国科学院成都生物研究所茂县生态站,参照云杉分布区的年降水量,设置4种水分处理梯度(分别模拟年降水量为350mm、700mm、1000mm和1350mm),研究云杉幼苗的生长和生理特征差异。经过4a的研究,结果表明,不同施水量显著影响了云杉幼苗的株高、基径、生物量积累(叶重、茎重和根重)、主根长度、第一级侧根数量、气体交换、叶绿素含量、脯氨酸以及丙二醛含量。700mm施水量的云杉幼苗的以上参数显著高于其他3个施水量(350mm、1000mm和1350mm)的幼苗。干旱胁迫下,云杉幼苗净光合速率和蒸腾速率显著降低,抑制了云杉幼苗生物量积累;过量施水则降低了云杉幼苗的根生长。云杉幼苗通过调节水分利用效率来适应不同的水分条件,当受到干旱胁迫时,通过提高水分利用效率来提供生长所需要的水分;然而当水分充足的时候,水分利用效率又降低。此外,水分不足和过量均导致针叶叶绿素含量降低,同时引起丙二醛含量的增加,表明云杉幼苗不适宜在土壤过于干旱和湿润的条件下生长。

Effects of water supply on the growth and eco-physiology of seedlings of the dragon spruce Picea asperata Mast

Dragon spruce (Picea asperata Mast.) is one of the dominant conifers of the subalpine forested areas in western Sichuan and southern Gansu provinces of China. Naturally it develops into blocks of pure forests of the species or coniferous mixed forests dominated by purplecone spurce (P. purpurea), faxon fir (Abies faxoniana), or other species of spruce and fir. Dragon spruce is widely used for artificial regeneration after clear-felling of natural subalpine coniferous forests in western Sichuan because it is...
