准噶尔盆地荒漠植物的叶片水分吸收策略

在干旱地区, 经常出现只能湿润植物地上部分和表层土壤的小量级降雨和凝结水输入, 此量级的水分输入无法通过入渗进入根区土壤而被植物根系吸收利用。最近研究发现, 叶片吸收水分是利用小量级降水和凝结水的主要方式。该研究通过鉴定和观测准噶尔盆地东南部5个自然植物群落中夏季地上部分仍存活的所有51种荒漠植物叶片的单位面积吸水量(LWUC)、叶片含水量增加率(Rw)以及其他7种植物功能性状, 探讨了这些植物功能性状与植物叶片吸收水分能力的关系。研究结果表明: (1)与Rw相比, LWUC是更加适合评价植物叶片吸收水分能力的指标; (2)植物生活型是相对合理的评价荒漠植物叶片吸收水分能力的植物性状; (3)荒漠植物地上(叶片)和地下(根系)部分吸收水分策略存在着权衡; (4)荒漠植物叶片耗水和吸水存在着权衡。总之, 叶片吸收水分策略对于荒漠植物, 特别是一年生草本植物最大限度地利用有限的水资源渡过持续的干旱并完成生活史具有重要的意义。

两种南亚热带林下灌木叶片水分特性的比较研究

鼎湖山南亚热带针叶—阔叶混交林下灌木桃金娘和三叉苦叶片气孔导度的日进程多为单峰形。一天中出现气孔导度高值的时间随季节而异,从3月到10月逐渐提前。夏季气孔导度最大,冬季最小。8月份生长于坡顶群落中的两种灌木叶片气孔出现“午睡”现象。不同生长地点中,桃金娘的气孔导度均明显高于三叉苦。叶片水势从早晨起逐渐降低,中午达最低值,随后有所回升。 3月和8月的水势较高,12月水势最低。水势与气孔导度间呈双曲线关系。压力—体积曲线的测定表明叶片水势低值时仍能维持正膨压。

鄂尔多斯高原3种优势灌木幼苗对气候变暖的响应

鄂尔多斯高原是中国半干旱沙区典型沙地,这里的干旱生态系统对全球的水热分配格局具有灵敏的响应。随着未来全球变暖,将给这里的陆地生态系统分布格局和生产力带来巨大影响。选择鄂尔多斯高原优势灌木柠条（Caragana intermedia Kuang etH.C.Fu）、杨柴（Hedysarum dmongolicum Turcz.)和油蒿（Artemisia ordosica Kraschen.)幼苗为研究对象,人为控制2种温度水平来探讨它们的幼苗形态可塑性、生物量效应和光合生理特征对增温条件下的生态适应策略,研究结果表明,增温处理对3种植物种类生长和光合生理特征的影响是不同的,增温对柠条和杨和杨柴幼苗生长具有显正效应。增温对油蒿幼苗生长总体影响不显,叶数、叶大小、叶面积、生物量、蒸腾速度和气孔导度随着温度增高没有显增大,但树高和净光合速率随着温度增高而显增大。柠条、杨柴和油蒿幼苗之间的种间生长差异显,除叶大小外,其余7个特征值均为柠条幼苗显高于杨柴和油蒿幼苗。     

灌丛群落叶功能型及其与凋落物水分涵养性能的关系——以广西三种典型灌丛群落为例

牡荆、红背山麻杆和羊蹄甲群落是三种在广西壮族自治区具有较为重要水土保持功能的典型灌丛。通过野外勘察选择了受干扰程度较低的群落作为研究样地。通过测定样方中优势物种的叶功能性状和凋落物的水分涵养特征,揭示了灌丛群落的叶功能型及其与凋落物水分涵养性能的关系,以求更好地发挥灌丛在区域退化生态系统中生态恢复和水土保持的作用。研究结果表明,(1)三种灌丛群落的叶功能性状有着十分明显的差异,群落的叶功能型因此而分化形成了以羊蹄甲为代表的低干物质、低有机质与高比叶面积(低LOMC+LDMC-高SLA)的类型,以及以红背山麻杆群落和牡荆灌丛群落为代表的高干物质、高有机质与低比叶面积(高LDMC+LOMC-低SLA)的类型。后者因叶片磷含量(LPC)的不同,再进一步分化。(2)三种灌丛群落凋落物的水分涵养性能由于群落凋落物的水分涵养特征存在显著差异出现分化。红背山麻杆和牡荆灌丛的凋落物蓄积量(LS)和自然含水率(NWC)显著高于羊蹄甲灌丛,而它们的最大持水率(MWHR)则低于羊蹄甲灌丛。红背山麻杆和牡荆灌丛的最大拦蓄量(MIC)和有效拦蓄量(EIC)因此而显著高于羊蹄甲灌丛。(3)灌丛群落的叶功能性状SLA、LDMC、LOMC、LPC等分别与MIC和EIC等水分涵养性能特性存在显著相关性。叶功能型为低LDMC+LOMC-高SLA的羊蹄甲灌丛群落具有较低的水分涵养性能,而叶功能型为高LDMC+LOMC-低SLA的红背山麻杆和牡荆灌丛群落具有较高的水分涵养性能。为了提高生态系统的水土保持功能,在进行退化生态系统生态恢复时应尽可能选择叶功能型为高LDMC+LOMC-低SLA的群落类型。     

Water-use strategy of three central Asian desert shrubs and their responses to rain pulse events

Plant water-use strategy is considered to be a function of the complex interactions between species of different functional types and the prevailing environmental conditions. The functional type of a plant’s root system is fundamental in determining the water-use strategy of desert shrubs and the physiological responses of the plant to an occasional rainfall event, or rain pulse. In this current study of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt., Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge and Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim., three dominant shrub species in the Gurbantonggut Desert (Central Asia), plant root systems were excavated in their native habitat to investigate their functional types and water-use strategies. We monitored leaf water potential, photosynthesis and transpiration rate during a 39-day interval between successive precipitation events during which time the upper soil water changed markedly. Plant apparent hydraulic conductance and water-use efficiency were calculated for the varying soil water conditions. Our results show that: 1) The three species of shrub belong to two functional groups: phreatophyte and non-phreatophyte; 2) The photosynthetic capacity and leaf-specific apparent hydraulic conductance of the three species was stable during the time that the water condition in the upper soil changed; 3) Transpiration, leaf water potential and water-use efficiency in Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt. were stable during the period of observation, but varied significantly for the other two species. Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt., as a phreatophyte, relies mostly on groundwater for survival; its physiological activity is not inhibited in any way by the deficiency in upper soil water. Non-phreatophyte Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge and Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim. use precipitation-derived upper soil water for survival, and thus respond clearly to rain pulse events in terms of leaf water potential and transpiration. The observed similarity in leaf-specific photosynthesis capacity among all three species indicates that the two non-phreatophyte species are able to maintain normal photosynthesis within a wide range of plant water status. The observed stability in leaf-specific apparent hydraulic conductance indicates that the two non-phreatophyte species are able to maintain sufficient water supply to their foliage via, mostly likely, effective morphological adjustment at the scale of the individual plant.Section editor: H.

根据水在介质中的流动规律和能量守恒原理,在植物叶片内建立了一个稳态的水传输模型。该模型考虑了气孔复合体内外、共质体与质外体、原生质与细胞壁在水传输上的不同,应用计算机详细地分析和计算了叶内(特别是气孔复合体内)水的传输,得到水势在叶片内近似分布的关系式。应用这些关系式对叶内的水势和水势差作了估计,并对不同解剖特征叶片内的水势差作了比较。     

Leaf Gas Exchange and Water Relations of Grapevines Grown in Three Different Conditions

Diurnal and seasonal changes in the leaf water potential (), stomatal conductance (g _s), net CO₂ assimilation rate (P _N), transpiration rate (E), internal CO₂ concentration (C _i), and intrinsic water use efficiency (P _N/g _s) were studied in grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Touriga Nacional) growing in low, moderate, and severe summer stress at Vila Real (VR), Pinhão (PI), and Almendra (AL) experimental sites, respectively. In VR and PI site the limitation to photosynthesis was caused more by stomatal limitations, while in AL mesophyll limitations were also responsible for the summer decline in P _N.     

High-Temperature Preconditioning and Thermal Shock Imposition Affects Water Relations,Gas Exchange and Root Hydraulic Conductivity in Tomato

Potted tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Amalia) were submitted to three different treatments: control (C) plants were maintained at day/night temperature of 25/18 °C; preconditioned plants (PS) were submitted to two consecutive periods of 4 d each, of 30/23 and 35/28 °C before being exposed to a heat stress (40/33 °C lasting 4 d) and non-preconditioned (S) plants were maintained in the same conditions as the C plants and exposed to the heat stress. The inhibition of plant growth was observed only in PS plants. Heat stress decreased chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance in both PS and S plants. However, PS plants showed good osmotic adjustment, which enabled them to maintain leaf pressure potential higher than in S plants. Furthermore, at the end of the recovery period PS plants had higher pressure potential and stomatal conductance than in S plants. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Leaf Physiological Traits and their Importance for Species Success in a Mediterranean Grassland

We related leaf physiological traits of four grassland species (Poa pratensis, Lolium perenne, Festuca valida, and Taraxacum officinale), dominant in a Mediterranean grassland, to their origin and success at community level. From early May to mid-June 1999, four leaf samplings were done. Species originating from poor environments (P. pratensis, F. valida) had low carbon isotope discrimination (), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf water and mineral contents, and net photosynthetic rate on mass basis (P _mass) but high chlorophyll content. The reverse traits were evident for the fast-growing species (L. perenne, T. officinale). Under the resource-limiting conditions (soil nitrogen and water) of the Mediterranean grassland, the physiological traits of P. pratensis and F. valida showed to be more adapted to these conditions leading to high species abundance and dominance.     

Water movement through Quercus rubra I. Leaf water potential and conductance during polycyclic growth

Two experiments examined simultaneous changes in leaf area (A_L), root length (L_r), stomatal conductance (g_s), leaf water potential (Ψ_L), transpiration and hydraulic plant conductance per unit leaf area (G) during the first three shoot cycles of northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.) grown under favourable and controlled conditions. Each shoot cycle consisted of bud swell, stem elongation, leaf expansion and rest; roots grew almost continuously. The g_s of all leaves decreased substantially while leaves of the newest flush were expanding and increased modestly when seedling leaf area remained constant. Overall, g_s decreased. The Ψ_L of mature leaves decreased during leaf expansion and increased by an equivalent amount during intervening periods. Possible explanations for the paired changes in g_s and Ψ_L are considered. Changes in G closely paralleled those of canopy g_s. These parallel changes during polycyclic seedling growth should act to keep seedling Ψ_L relatively constant as plant size increases and thereby help prevent Ψ_L from dropping to levels that would cause runaway embolism.
