历山森林群落物种多样性与群落结构研究

采用多样性指数、丰富度指数和均匀度指数对山西历山森林群落物种多样性进行了研究.结果表明,各群落类型的物种多样性指数的顺序为：青榨槭＋五角枫林>青榨槭＋鹅耳枥林>辽东栎林>栓皮栎林>华山松＋红桦林>油松＋栎林>白桦林>侧柏＋栓皮栎林>红桦林>华山松林>侧柏林>油松林>红桦＋山杨林;森林群落灌木层多样性指数和丰富度指数大于草本层和乔木层,而均匀度指数在乔木层、灌木层和草本层则表现出多样化的趋势;海拔1 000～1 920 m之间,Shannon-Wiener指数、Hill多样性指数及物种丰富度与海拔梯度均呈正相关(P<0.05),海拔大于1 920 m则呈现负相关;这些指数沿海拔梯度的变化呈现出“中间高度膨胀”的规律,即中等海拔高度上物种多样性高而低海拔和高海拔物种多样性低.这主要是由于在中海拔（约1 900 m）地段水热条件组合较好,人类活动干扰较少所致.

The effect of photoperiod length on respiration in leaves of Saxifraga cernua L., an arctic herb

Abstract Rates of oxygen uptake were measured in leaves of Saxifraga cernua which had been exposed to an 18-h photoperiod. These rates were compared to those in plants which had been exposed to continuous light. Rates of total dark respiration and alternative pathway respiration measured at the end of the photoperiod gradually decreased over the initial 3 d of exposure to an 18-h photoperiod. Thereafter, respiratory rates were constant. Rates of total dark respiration and alternative pathway respiration decreased during the 6h dark period. Rates of normal and alternative pathway respiration are equally affected during the dark period. The respiratory rates had reached a new minimum level 3 d after the initiation of a dark period. These results suggest that respiration rates in arctic plants are high because of the long photoperiod in the arctic. The kinetics of photoperiod induced changes in respiration are slow enough to suggest the involvement of the biological clock in setting respiration rates. Indeed, total dark respiration and alternative pathway respiration show a definite circadian rhythm. Free-running experiments show that normal respiration changes much less (has a smaller amplitude of variation) than alternative pathway respiration and that alternative pathway respiration accounts for most of the rhythmicity of respiration.     

Leaf respiration in Piper species native to a Mexican rainforest

We measured leaf respiration with a Clark-type oxygen-electrode in 6 species of the genus Piper (Piperaceae) growing naturally in wet evergreen rainforest, in microsites characterized by a broad range of light availabilities. Species normally found in large gaps and clearings ( Piper auritum and P. umbellatum ) had approximately twice the dark respiration per unit of leaf area or dry mass as species found predominantly in shaded understory sites ( P. aequale, P. lapathifolium and P. amalago ). within a species, dark respiration was lower in the individuals growing in low-light sites than in the individuals growing in high-light sites. Over all species, leaf respiration was positively correlated with the average daily photosynthetically active photon flux density (PFD) at each site, and negatively correlated with mean leaf longevity. Respiration was insensitive to leaf age in a shade species. ( P. lapathifolium ) and in a generalist ( P. hispidum ) but decreased with increasing leaf age in a gap specialist ( P. aurtium ).
In experiments on greenhouse-grown plants, we titrated respiration with potassium cyanide (KCN) and/or salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) to determine the cytochrome and alternative pathway components to respiration in 4 Piper species. All 4 species, representing gap, generalist and shade species, exhibited alternative pathway respiration. Engagement of the cytochrome pathway (ϱ_cyt) varied from 0.69 in P. auritum to 1.04 in P. lapathifolium and engagement of the alternative pathway (ϱ_alt varied from 0.41 to 1.02. Although the shade species had lower respiration rates than the gap species, the capacities for cytochrome and alternative pathway respiration made up similar or greater fractions of total respiration in shade species.     

太行山南段森林群落物种多样性研究

分别用多样性指数、丰富度指数、均匀度指数对山西太行山南段森林群落的物种多样性及其与环境的关系进行了分析.结果表明:(1)3个植被型的物种多样性指数的顺序为:落叶阔叶林>温性针阔叶混交林>温性针叶林.(2)落叶阔叶林中各群系的物种多样性指数的顺序为:漆树 青麸杨林>鹅耳枥 青榨槭林>青檀林>辽东栎林>栓皮栎林>白桦林>红桦林>山杨 白桦林.(3)温性针叶林中各群系的物种多样性指数的顺序为南方红豆杉林>油松林>白皮松林>侧柏林.(4)物种丰富度指数在群落梯度上的总体趋势表现为草本层>灌木层>乔木层;多样性指数的趋势则为灌木层>乔木层>草本层;各群落灌木层物种均匀度指数大于乔木层和草本层,乔木层均匀度与草本层相差不明显.(5)各群落多样性指数在海拔梯度上表现出明显的规律,呈单峰曲线变化,即中等海拔高度上的群落物种多样性较高,而高海拔和低海拔多样性较低,这主要是由于在中海拔(大约1 500 m)地段水热条件组合较好、人类活动干扰较少所致.     

Cytochrome and alternative pathway respiration in white spruce (Picea glauca) roots. Effects of growth and measurement temperature

Interactions between growth temperature and measurement temperature were examined for their effects on white spruce [ Picea glauca (Moench) Voss] root respiration. Total dark respiration rates increased with measurement temperature and were unaffected by growth temperature. Partitioning of respiratory electron flow between the cytochrome and alternative pathways was also unaffected by growth temperature. The proportion of respiration mediated by the alternative pathway was constant at measurement temperatures between 4°C and 18°C, but was increased at higher temperatures. Changes in alternative pathway activity were paralleled by changes in capacity, and the alternative pathway was almost fully engaged at all temperatures. Roots grown at low temperature displayed higher carbohydrate levels than roots grown at higher temperatures, but respiration rate was unaffected. Spruce root respiration did not appear to acclimate to growth temperature, and the alternative pathway was not preferentially engaged at low temperature.     

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL PATTERNS OF SPECIFIC LEAF WEIGHT IN SUCCESSIONAL NORTHERN HARDWOOD TREE SPECIES

Temporal and spatial patterns of specific leaf weight (SLW, g/m²) were determined for deciduous hardwood tree species in natural habitats in northern lower Michigan to evaluate the utility of SLW as an index of leaf photosynthetic capacity. No significant diurnal changes in SLW were found. Specific leaf weight decreased and then increased during leaf expansion in the spring. Most species, especially those located in the understory, then had relatively constant SLW for most of the growing season, followed by a decline in SLW during autumn. Specific leaf weight decreased exponentially down through the canopy with increasing cumulative leaf area index. Red oak (Quercus rubra), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata), red maple (Acer rubrum), sugar maple (A. saccharum), and beech (Fagus grandifolia) generally had successively lower SLW, for leaves at any one level in the canopy. On a given site, comparisons between years and comparisons of leaves growing within 35 cm of each other showed that differences in SLW among species were not due solely to microenvironmental effects on SLW. Bigtooth aspen, red oak, and red maple on lower-fertility sites had lower SLW than the same species on higher-fertility sites. Maximum CO₂ exchange rate, measured at light-saturation in ambient CO₂ and leaf temperatures of 20 to 25 C, increased with SLW. Photosynthetic capacities of species ranked by SLW in a shaded habitat suggest that red oak, red maple, sugar maple, and beech are successively better adapted to shady conditions.     

11种温带树种粗木质残体呼吸的时间动态

粗木质残体(CWD)呼吸释放出的CO2(RCWD)与温度的关系是森林生态系统RCWD年通量估测的基础,是随树种和时间而变化的,但这种关系的时间动态目前尚不清楚。采用红外气体分析法测定自然条件下东北东部山区典型天然次生林中11个主要树种RCWD的时间动态,尤其注重于其日变化格局及其对温度的响应。测定树种包括:白桦、山杨、紫椴、胡桃楸、蒙古栎、色木槭、春榆、红松、黄檗、兴安落叶松和水曲柳。结果表明:在测定的生长季期间,11个树种RCWD的日动态多表现为受10cm深的CWD温度(TCWD)驱动的单峰曲线日变化格局,RCWD最高值出现在13:0015:00时,明显滞后于气温(TA)的日变化。然而,在7月和8月份RCWD对温度的响应不明显,呈现出无峰或多峰的日变化格局。各树种均表现为白昼RCWD平均值高于黑夜。RCWD与TCWD、TA有显著的相关关系(P0.05),但与测定前两个小时的TA相关更紧密,说明RCWD对TA响应的滞后性。RCWD温度系数(Q10)平均为2.61,但随树种和季节而变化。Q10值波动在1.74(白桦)和4.20(蒙古栎)之间,并有随温度升高而减小的趋势。本研究结果表明粗木质残体分解碳释放的估算应该考虑RCWD温度敏感性随树种和时间的变化特性。     

黑龙江省次生林主要组成树种光合能力与叶片含氮量研究

Growth,biomass distribution and CO2 exchange of northern hardwood seedlings in high and low light: relationships with successional status and shade tolerance

The physiology, morphology and growth of first-year Betula papyrifera Marsh., Betula alleghaniensis Britton, Ostrya virginiana (Mill.) K. Koch, Acer saccharum Marsh., and Quercus rubra L. seedlings, which differ widely in reported successional affinity and shade tolerance, were compared in a controlled high-resource environment. Relative to late-successional, shade-tolerant Acer and Ostrya species, early-successional, shade-intolerant Betula species had high relative growth rates (RGR) and high rates of photosynthesis, nitrogen uptake and respiration when grown in high light. Fire-adapted Quercus rubra had intermediate photosynthetic rates, but had the lowest RGR and leaf area ratio and the highest root weight ratio of any species. Interspecific variation in RGR in high light was positively correlated with allocation to leaves and rates of photosynthesis and respiration, and negatively related to seed mass and leaf mass per unit area. Despite higher respiration rates, early-successional Betula papyrifera lost a lower percentage of daily photosynthetic CO₂ gain to respiration than other species in high light. A subset comprised of the three Betulaceae family members was also grown in low light. As in high light, low-light grown Betula species had higher growth rates than tolerant Ostrya virainiana. The rapid growth habit of sarly-successional species in low light was associated with a higher proportion of biomass distributed to leaves, lower leaf mass per unit area, a lower proportion of biomass in roots, and a greater height per unit stem mass. Variation in these traits is discussed in terms of reported species ecologies in a resource availability context.     

REGULATION OF ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY RESPIRATION IN CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTH (CHLOROPHYCEAE)1

The inhibitor propyl gallate was used to estimate partitioning of respiratory electron flow between the cytochrome amd alternative pathways in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard. Nutrient limitation (nitrogen or phosphorus resulted in a large increase in alternative pathway capacity relative to cytochrome pathway activity, without regulating in engagement of the alternative pathway. High rates of respiration, which could be induced in phosphate-starved cells by a combination of phosphate addition and uncoupler, resulted in alternative pathway activity. Osmotic stress resulted in decreased electron flow through the cytochrome pathway and increased flow through the alternative pathway, while high temperature also resulted in alternative pathway engagement. Incubation with exogenous carbon sources could increase the rate of respiratory O₂ consumption; the increase was mediated entirely by the alternative pathway. We suggest that the alternative pathway functions in these cells both to maintain respiration during environmentally induced stress and as on energy overflow.

Energy metabolism of Plantago lanceolata, as affected by change in root temperature

The long and short term metabolic effects of a shift in root temperature was investigated in Plantago lanceolata L. with special reference to the role of the cyanide resistant alternative pathway in root respiration. After a 10-day period of growth at a 13°C root temperature, a decrease in root as well as shoot growth was observed, compared to control plants grown continuously at 21°C. Apart from an increase in shoot soluble and insoluble sugar level, no changes in metabolism were found, neither in root respiration, shoot photosynthesis, nor in root sugar and plant protein level.
Decreasing the root temperature from 21 to 13°C gave several clear short term changes in metabolism. Within one hour a decrease in cytochrome chain activity of the roots was found together with an increase in activity of the alternative chain. After 24 h a recovery to the initial level of both chains was observed. An increase in root temperature from 13 to 21°C gave an immediate increase in activity of both respiratory chains that was still present 24 h after the switch.
It is concluded that the activity of the alternative respiratory pathway in the root is strongly affected by a sudden temperature change in the root environment. This pathway acts in a way which is described by 'the energy overflow model'. The presence of the alternative electron transport pathway should be taken into account in determinations of the respiratory Q₁₀. Moreover, the length of time between the temperature change and respiration measurements is an important factor.     

山西五鹿山植物物种多样性及其海拔梯度格局

采用典型取样法,沿海拔梯度对五鹿山自然植被进行调查。结果表明：五鹿山主要群落类型为辽东栎(Quercus wutaishanica)群落、油松(Pinus tabulaeformis) 群落、茶条槭(Acer ginnala) 群落、白皮松(Pinus bungeana)群落、暴马丁香-茶条槭（Syringa reticulate-Acer ginnala）群落和白桦(Betula platyphylla)群落。其中,辽东栎群落略占优势,这可能暗示着该地区植被具有继续向暖温带落叶阔叶林演替的倾向。各层次植物物种丰富度呈现出草本层>灌木层>乔木层特征,Shannon Wiener多样性指数和Simpson多样性指数整体规律为草本层>灌木层>乔木层。以五鹿山森林群落不同层次的各种物种多样性指数和森林群落总体重要值为测度指标,均暗示着五鹿山植被演替正处于亚顶极群落阶段。五鹿山植物多样性沿海拔梯度呈现出近似中海拔高的单峰格局,这是由于植物物种多样性受温度、湿度、人为等因素干扰。     

北京山区辽东栎林中几种木本植物光合作用对CO2浓度升高的响应

 为揭示我国暖温带地区辽东栎群落若干优势植物光合作用随CO2浓度升高而变化的特点,用自行设计的同化室装置对自然生长状态下的辽东栎(Quercus liaotungensis KOidz．)、大叶白蜡(Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr．)、蒙椴(Tilia mongolica Maxim．)、五角枫(Acer mono Maxim．),以及优势灌木六道木(Abelia biflora Turcz．)、毛榛(Corylus mandshurica Maxim．)等6种木本植物进行升高CO2浓度处理,测定了这几种植物净光合速率的变化。加倍CO2浓度对6种植物的光合作用有不同程度的促进作用,净光合速率增加的程度从37％到93％不等,以辽东栎受到的促进作用最大,六道木最小,平均增加75％。净光合作用随CO2浓度升高而增加的程度中乔木种类略高于灌木种类。在夏季和秋季进行的日动态测定都表现出加倍CO2浓度对6种木本植物净光合速率的明显的促进作用。
