海拔和郁闭度对祁连山青海云杉林叶凋落物分解的影响

为了探究海拔和郁闭度对青海云杉林叶凋落物分解的影响,本文选择海拔为2850 m,3050 m,3250 m和3450 m四个梯度和高、中、低三个林分郁闭度,采用分解网袋法,研究青海云杉叶凋落物分解速率及分解过程中N、P元素变化。结果表明,质量损失率随时间在波动增大。分解速率先减小后增大,不同海拔下分解速率为K₃₄₅₀ > K₃₀₅₀ > K₃₂₅₀ > K₂₈₅₀,不同郁闭度下分解速率为K_低 > K_中 > K_高,青海云杉叶枯落物分解50%和95%所需时间约为5.3 a和22.7 a。枯落物分解过程中,N、P含量和累积系数在不同海拔和郁闭度下的变化不同,与季节变化有关。研究结果为祁连山森林生态系统地球化学循环奠定基础。     

宁夏罗山自然保护区3种典型林分凋落物和土壤层水源涵养能力综合评估

森林凋落物层和土壤层是森林生态水文效应中的主要贡献层，对森林生态系统水土保持功能和水源涵养能力有重要影响。对比宁夏罗山自然保护区3种典型林分类型凋落物和土壤层水文效应的变化规律和水源涵养能力大小，为该地区的森林生态水文、水土保持和森林管理提供科学依据。以该自然保护区青海云杉纯林、油松纯林和青海云杉油松混交林为研究对象，运用称量、室内浸泡、环刀法和回归分析法对凋落物和土壤层的水文效应进行测定和拟合，并使用熵权法对二者的水源涵养能力进行评估。结果表明：（1）青海云杉油松混交林凋落物的总厚度和总储量显著高于青海云杉纯林和油松纯林（P<0.05），3种林分类型的半分解层的厚度和储量高于未分解层。（2）凋落物层最大持水量范围为63.29-95.08t/hm²，最大持水率范围为335.97%-353.85%，有效拦蓄量范围为34.09-63.92t/hm²，三者均为青海云杉油松混交林>云杉纯林>油松纯林。（3）3种林分类型的凋落物持水量（Q）与浸泡时间（t）呈对数函数关系，吸水速率（V）与浸泡时间（t）呈幂函数关系。（4）从3种林分类型的土壤物理性质和持水特性得出，3种林分类型的土壤层水文效应的等级排序为云杉油松混交林>油松纯林>青海云杉纯林。（5）凋落物层和土壤层的水源涵养能力大小为青海云杉油松混交林（0.43）>油松林（0.3）>青海云杉林（0.27）。综合来看，青海云杉油松混交林的凋落物层和土壤层的水源涵养能力最优，其次是纯林，说明混交林在水土保持和水源涵养方面比纯林更具优势。     

祁连山排露沟流域青海云杉天然更新与土壤水热的关系

青海云杉是祁连山区森林生态系统的建群种,其天然更新对维持祁连山森林生态系统功能具有重要意义。以祁连山排露沟流域青海云杉林天然更新为研究对象,于2021年6-9月测定海拔2700-3300m的0-40cm土层土壤温度和水分数据,并于7月中旬对样地天然更新进行每木检尺,将天然更新划分为幼苗(第一龄级)阶段和幼树(第二龄级)阶段,通过方差分析探究不同海拔更新苗胸径、株高的差异,再进一步建立回归模型拟合更新苗胸径、株高与各层土壤水热的关系,探讨更新苗胸径、株高对土壤水热的响应。结果表明:(1)更新苗胸径、株高随海拔升高而降低,海拔2700m幼苗胸径与3300m幼苗胸径存在显著性差异(P<0.05),海拔2700m、2800m幼苗、幼树株高与3300m幼苗、幼树株高存在显著性差异(P<0.05),幼树胸径在各海拔均不存在显著性差异,表明更新苗胸径对海拔的敏感性要低于更新苗株高。(2)更新苗胸径、株高与土壤温度呈正相关,与土壤水分呈负相关,幼苗胸径与20cm土壤温度和土壤水分的相关系数最大,幼树胸径与40cm土壤温度和土壤水分相关系数最大,幼树株高与40cm土壤温度及20cm土壤水分相关系数最大。(3)回归模型显示幼苗胸径和株高对土壤水热的利用模式相同,而幼树胸径和株高对土壤水热的利用模式存在差异。(4)青海云杉天然更新随着龄级的增加,影响生长的主要因素由土壤温度逐渐变为土壤水分,更新苗胸径对土壤水热的响应也随着龄级的增加在逐渐减弱。     

七种云杉针叶非结构性碳与光合特性随物候期的动态变化特征

云杉作为我国东北和西部高山地区的主要树种,在森林碳汇、水源涵养、生态安全屏障等方面具有重要的意义,其非结构性碳(NSC)的动态变化为研究森林碳储存和碳供应提供重要参考.为探究不同云杉树种针叶NSC含量与光合特性随物候期的动态变化特征,对同质园内7个云杉属树种幼树的物候期进行了观测,并测量了各物候期一年生和当年生叶中NSC的含量以及净光合速率.结果表明:各树种的萌动期从早到晚依次为粗枝云杉<青扦<白扦<林芝云杉<青海云杉<川西云杉<红皮云杉,伸展期从早到晚依次为白扦<青海云杉<粗枝云杉<青扦<红皮云杉<川西云杉<林芝云杉,顶芽期则无显著差异;物候期的差异不仅存在对当前生境如有效积温(R=0.996^*)、土壤含水量(R=-0.807^*)等的响应,也存在对原生境的适应;各树种NSC含量随物候期变化规律一致,当年生和一年生叶中淀粉含量均呈单峰型变化,可溶性糖含量则是先升高后趋于稳定;当年生叶中NSC含量均低于一年生,其中淀粉含量变化范围分别是20~50、70~ 150 mg·g^-1,可溶性糖含量变化范围分别是80~150、200~350 mg·g^-1.此外,不论在新老龄叶片中,淀粉含量下降后光合速率均会升高,净光合速率与淀粉和可溶性糖含量存在协调性.以上结果为全面理解云杉属树种NSC的季节动态及种间差异的变化规律提供了重要参考.     

祁连山青海云杉天然群体的种实性状表型多样性

 以系统揭示其表型变异程度和变异规律为目的,对祁连山青海云杉(Picea crassifolia )天然分布区的10个群体的8个种实性状进行了比较分析。采用方差分析、多重比较,相关分析、聚类分析等多种分析方法,对群体间和群体内的表型多样性进行了讨论。方差分析结果表明,各种实性状在群体间都存在极显著差异,除球果干质量和球果长/球果径外,其余性状在群体内都存在着极显著的差异;表型分化系数即群体间变异为27.18%,小于群体内的变异(72.82%);球果长、球果径、球果干质量、球果形状指数、种子长、种子宽、千粒重和种子形状指数的变异系数分别为：10.08%、5.80%、19.29%、9.66%、8.38%、15.34%、6.52%和13.94%;8个种实性状间多数呈极显著或显著的正相关,球果干质量、种子长、千粒重、球果长和球果径为青海云杉易测定和重要的种实性状;种实性状呈现出以经度变异为主的梯度规律性;通过表型性状的聚类分析可以将青海云杉10个群体划分为4类。     

色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉林不同层次土壤CO2浓度对短时降雨的响应

为阐明不同层次土壤CO₂浓度日变化特征及对短时降雨的响应,以西藏东南部色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉（Abies georgei var. smithii）林为研究对象,在自然降雨条件下,分析短时降雨及水分再分布过程中各层次土壤CO₂浓度变化特征。结果表明：在0-60 cm层次内,土壤CO₂浓度随土壤层次的加深而显著增加（P < 0.01）,二者之间呈显著对数函数关系（R=0.9764,P < 0.01）;短时降雨脉冲使表层5 cm土壤CO₂浓度显著下降,而10 cm层次土壤CO₂浓度显著增加;在降雨和水分再分布阶段,5 cm与10 cm层次土壤CO₂浓度之间极显著负相关,10、20、40 cm和60 cm之间均呈极显著正相关（P < 0.01）;5 cm层次土壤含水量显著影响0-60 cm剖面CO₂浓度,降雨阶段,二者之间极显著线性正相关（P < 0.001）,而水分再分布阶段,二者之间符合极显著幂函数负相关（P < 0.001）。即降雨引起表层土壤含水量的快速增加,显著提高土壤剖面CO₂浓度,而降雨停止后,有利于土壤CO₂向土表的释放;土壤温度和含水量对CO₂浓度的影响效应在各层次之间表现不一致,除40 cm均为正效应外,其他各层均表现为相反的影响效应。这些结果表明,短时降雨使各层次土壤含水量增加,减少土壤表面CO₂释放量,使下层土壤体系中CO₂浓度升高,在分析土壤CO₂通量时间变化时,应考虑短时降雨对不同层次土壤CO₂的影响。     

青海云杉叶寿命与比叶重随海拔变化特征

以祁连山北坡中部的青海云杉纯林为对象,沿海拔梯度调查了7个样点的叶寿命、比叶重及相应的土壤温度和水分状况,探讨其叶寿命和比叶重随海拔梯度变化特征及其与水分、温度的关系.结果表明:(1)青海云杉叶寿命变化范围为10.4～13.2年(平均11.8年),不同海拔间具有极显著差异(P<0.001);青海云杉当年叶比叶重变化范围为261.78～324.31 g·m-2(平均303.45 g·m-2),一年叶比叶重变化范围为299.04～355.85 g·m-2(平均324.05 g·m-2);青海云杉比叶重与叶寿命之间存在显著正相关关系(P<0.05),当年叶和1年叶的相关系数分别为0.806 2和0.871 8.(2)青海云杉分布带土壤水分变化范围为19.9%～50.9%,沿海拔梯度增加呈现上升趋势,土壤年均温度变化范围为-1.67℃～1.45℃,沿海拔梯度增加呈现递减趋势.(3)青海云杉叶寿命、比叶重与土壤水分、温度之间存在显著的二次曲线关系,在土壤水分较低、温度较高的低海拔地带,以及土壤水分较高、温度较低的高海拔地带,叶寿命和比叶重均较高,且二者最大值均分布在林线地带.可见,青海云杉对于干旱、低温环境具有强烈适应性,土壤温度对其比叶重和叶寿命的影响较水分更为明显.     

青海东部人工生态公益林近自然经营的林分结构调整

依据研究区5种典型人工林近自然状况,以人工生态公益林的近自然经营管理为目标,提出林分结构调整策略与方法。主要从林分结构、物种组成、年龄及枯死木几个方面考虑选取了垂直结构、水平结构、草本盖度及其多样性、天然更新、物种多样性、组成系数、直径分布、枯木比例、健康木比例10个指标,应用基于单位圆的π值法则,采取定性与定量相结合的方法,对5种林分的近自然状态做出评价并依据评价结果提出相应改造措施。青海云杉-白桦混交林（ω_PB=0.4786）属于远近自然林分,此类林分在密度合理的情况下无需过多人为抚育;青杨-白桦混交林（ω_BP=0.2664）属于近人工林,此类林分以伐除病虫害严重的青杨、调整密度和补植青海云杉为主;青海云杉-青杨混交林（ω_PP=0.2283）属于近人工林,此类林分以伐除病虫害严重的青杨、调整密度和补植白桦为主;青海云杉-落叶松混交林（ω_PL=0.1872）属于人工林,此类林分以调整密度和补植白桦为主;青海云杉纯林（ω_P=0.0190）属于人工林,此类林分以调整密度和营造杉桦混交林为主。通过近自然度评价与分析,为当地近自然经营提供了直观可靠的依据。在进行林分结构调整时,首先通过伐除干扰木来调整林分密度,其次要营造针阔混交林分,其中以青海云杉和白桦混交林为主要目标林分。     

祁连山大野口流域青海云杉种群数量动态

种群数量动态揭示了种群的结构特征及其潜在的驱动机制,有助于预测种群未来的动态,进而为森林生态系统的保护与恢复提供理论依据。本研究基于10.2 hm²青海云杉动态监测样地数据,以种群径级结构代替年龄结构,编制静态生命表,绘制径级结构图、存活曲线、死亡率曲线、消失率曲线和4个生存分析函数曲线,分析青海云杉种群数量特征,并利用种群数量动态变化指数和时间序列模型对种群数量动态进行预测。结果表明：（1）青海云杉种群的年龄结构近似于倒"J"型,幼苗和小树储量丰富;（2）种群存活曲线趋近于Deevey-Ⅱ型,为稳定型种群,死亡率曲线和消失率曲线变化趋势基本一致,均在第2、8龄级出现高峰期;（3）生存率曲线呈下降趋势,累计死亡率曲线呈上升趋势,死亡密度曲线缓慢下降,而危险率曲线逐渐上升,该种群具有：前期减少、中期稳定、后期衰退的生长特点;（4）种群数量变化动态指数V_pi>0,表明该种群属于增长型种群,V_pi''>0且趋近于0,则表明该种群趋近于稳定型;（5）时间序列预测分析表明,在未来2、4、6、8个龄级时间后,种群呈稳定增长趋势。研究显示,祁连山大野口流域青海云杉种群为稳定增长型种群,只要未来不遭受强烈干扰,种群数量会保持逐渐增长。针对该种群幼龄个体在前期的更新过程死亡率较高情况,建议在今后的经营管理中应重点加强对第1、2龄级植株生存环境的保护和改善,提高幼苗和小树的存活率。     

澳门5种植物叶变色盛期对气候因子的响应

叶变色盛期是植物生长季结束时的重要物候指标。为探究澳门地区气候因子对植物叶变色盛期的影响,利用3个固定物候监测样地2012-2018年的物候资料和气象数据,对5种野生植物叶变色盛期的年际变化及其对前期各种气候因子的响应进行了研究。结果表明,不同物种叶变色盛期不同,集中在12月的有山乌桕（Sapium discolor）、野漆（Toxicodendron succedaneum）和天料木（Homalium cochinchinenense）,假苹婆（Sterculia lanceolata）的叶变色盛期在5月,秤星树（Ilex asprella）集中在1月。不同样地共有种叶变色盛期不同,大潭山样地秤星树的叶变色盛期显著早于九澳山样地,松山样地假苹婆的叶变色盛期显著早于大潭山样地。叶变色盛期与春夏季温度的变化呈正相关,与秋冬季的呈负相关。叶变色盛期与冬、春季降水量的变化呈正相关,与夏、秋季的呈负相关。相对湿度与植物的叶变色盛期亦有显著相关性。温度是影响这5种植物叶变色盛期最主要的气候因子。     

模拟降水减少对中亚热带杉木人工林土壤甲烷吸收的影响

森林土壤是大气中甲烷重要的汇,降水变化是影响森林土壤甲烷吸收速率(V_(CH_4))的重要因子。以中亚热带地区不同降水减少程度的杉木林土壤为研究对象,采用静态箱-气相色谱法来测定不同模拟降水减少处理样地的土壤甲烷吸收速率。结果表明:模拟降水减少后显著改变了土壤中的含水量,降水减少60%、降水减少20%和对照样地的年均土壤含水量分别为18.87%、23.89%和28.33%。杉木人工林土壤甲烷吸收速率在月变化上存在较大幅度的波动,其中土壤甲烷吸收速率在8月份达到一年中的最大值(对照75μg m~(-2) h~(-1)),2月份达到一年中的最小值(对照10.93μg m~(-2) h~(-1))。3种处理样地的土壤全年均为甲烷汇,与对照样地的甲烷年通量(2.48 kg hm~(-2) a~(-1))相比,降水减少60%和20%样地的甲烷年通量分别增加44%和19%。在对照样地中,土壤甲烷吸收速率与土壤含水量呈现负相关(P=0.001),与温度相关性不显著(P0.05);而模拟降水减少后,土壤甲烷吸收速率与土壤温度呈正相关关系(P=0.006和P=0.034),与土壤含水量相关性不显著(P0.05)。总之,模拟降水减少后不仅提高了杉木人工林土壤甲烷吸收的能力,同时也可能改变影响土壤甲烷吸收的环境因子;在模拟降水减少前土壤甲烷吸收速率与土壤水分相关性更为密切,而模拟降水减少后土壤甲烷吸收速率可能主要受土壤温度的影响。     

川西云杉幼苗非结构性碳水化合物对土壤温度和水分变化的响应

选取5年生川西云杉（Picea balfouriana）幼苗作为试验材料,于生长季模拟土壤温度和水分变化,研究不同土壤温度和水分处理对幼苗各器官生物量和非结构性碳水化合物（NSC）浓度的影响,以期加深对高海拔树木碳水化合物生理的理解,并为全球气候变化下植物的生理生态响应和动态变迁研究提供基础数据。于人工气候室内采用嵌套设计,设置5个土壤温度梯度（2、7、12、17、22℃）,每个温度处理下3个土壤水分处理（干旱处理、正常水分含量处理、饱和水分含量处理）。每9株幼苗为同一个处理,共135株幼苗。试验处理4个月后,测定幼苗各器官生物量、可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC浓度。土壤温度对幼苗总生物量无显著影响,但土壤低温显著降低了根生物量和根冠比;干旱和饱和水分胁迫在较高的土壤温度处理下显著降低了根生物量和根冠比。随着土壤温度降低,各器官可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC浓度并未降低,反而呈现出升高或不变的趋势。。在土壤低温处理下（2和7℃）干旱显著降低了当年生叶的淀粉和NSC浓度以及当年生枝的淀粉浓度;在2和7℃时,干旱和饱和水分胁迫显著降低了根中淀粉和NSC浓度。土壤低温和水分胁迫对幼苗地上地下生物量分配影响显著,分配给光合器官的生物量相对增多。土壤低温并没有导致碳受限,甚至各器官NSC浓度随着土壤温度降低有升高的趋势,因此,土壤低温下非结构性碳水化合物的不足不是限制川西云杉幼苗存活和生长的原因,从侧面支持了林线形成的"生长抑制"假说。此外,干旱胁迫在土壤低温下很可能会导致川西云杉的"碳饥饿"。     

Energy loss in an aestivating population of the tropical snail pila globosa

The dried peripheral area of pond Idumban (62 ha) increased from 3.2 ha in January to 3 1.9 ha in April. Pila globosa, which were abundant in the littoral area, did not commence aestivation during this period, perhaps due to low temperature and/or high dissolved oxygen content. The number of aestivating snails averaged 0.5/m² in May, 1973 (3.6% of the total population) and it increased to 1.1/M² in September (26.2%). Biomass of the snail increased from 3.5 to 19.9 g dry weight (including shell)/M². Number of aestivating snails increased from 0.4/m² (5.2% of the total population) in May 1974 to 0.8/m² (11.1%) in July and the biomass from 4.1 g/m² to 10.7 g/m². Availability of dried area for aestivation increased from 5.3 to 23.7 ha in 1973 and from 13.5 to 30.2 ha in 1974.Monthly observations made on the marked snails forced to aestivate at 7.5, 15.0, 22.5 and 30.0 cm depth in the pond during May, revealed that temperature above 35°C and moisture below 5% were critical. Mortality and weight loss decreased in the snails forced to aestivate at increasing depth. Random observations indicated that 83% of the aestivating snails buried themselves at 15 cm depth in the pond. On the whole, 98,480 snails (592 Kg) and 115,270 (758 Kg) died during aestivation in 1973 and 1974 respectively. Of the total weight loss, the energy lost via metabolism contributed only a small fraction of 2.2% (12 Kg) and 2.1% (15 Kg) during these years. Considering the total aestivation area, the snails which succumbed averaged only 0.4/m²/year (2.5 g/m²/year). On an average, dry substance equivalent to about 2.6 mg dry weight/ g dry weight of snail/ day (3.7 gcal/ g live snail/ day) was lost on metabolism by the aestivating snails, i.e. the metabolic level of the aestivating snail was about 1 / 18th of that of the actively feeding snail.     

Contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration in a Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) artificial forest

Soil respiration was measured for 2 years in an artificial gap and in an undisturbed area in a Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) forest to estimate the contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration. Measurement plots were set up at the center of the gap, the edge of the gap, the edge of the surrounding stand and within the stand. Using a small gap (2.5 m × 2.5 m) enabled us to maintain the same soil temperature and soil moisture as found in the stand. Seasonal fluctuations in soil respiration, increasing in summer and decreasing in winter, corresponded to changes in the soil surface temperature. Soil respiration in the gap site did not differ significantly from those in the stand in the first year of gap formation. However, in the second year, the minimum CO₂ flux was observed at the center of the gap and the maximum at the edge of the surrounding stand. Assuming that the differences between soil respiration in the center of the gap and that in the stand were equal to the root respiration, the root respiration rate was calculated from the relationship between the root respiration rates (Rr) and the soil surface temperature (Ts) by Ln(Rr) = 0.07Ts + 3.48. The average contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration, as estimated from the soil surface temperature in the stand by using the above equation, was 49%. After taking root decomposition into consideration, the contribution of root respiration to soil respiration increased from 49 to 57%.     

A comparison of soil core sampling and minirhizotrons to quantify root development of field-grown potatoes

Root growth of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is sensitive to soil conditions. A reduced root system size can result in reduced uptake of water and/or nutrients, leading to impaired crop growth. To understand the mechanisms by which soil conditions affect crop growth, study of temporal and spatial development of roots is required.In field experiments, effects of soil temperature, soil compaction and potato cyst nematodes (Globodera pallida) on root growth of potato cultivars were studied using two methods: core sampling and vertically oriented minirhizotrons.Minirhizotrons showed relatively more roots in deeper soil layers than core sampling, probably because of preferential root growth along the tube. Spatial distribution of roots should therefore be analysed by core sampling.To eliminate differences in spatial distribution, total root systems as measured by both methods were compared. Nematodes, cultivars and time did not affect the relationship between both methods. Soil compaction, however, affected it because of a strong response of root length in bulk soil and small differences in root number against the minirhizotron, suggesting that soil coring has to be used to study effects of different bulk densities.With both methods, sequential measurements of roots give the net effect of root growth and decay. Data on root turnover can only be obtained with minirhizotrons by comparing video recordings of different dates. Other information obtained with minirhizotrons is the average orientation of roots. Moreover, the minirhizotron method has the advantage of demanding less labour.     

Influence of temperature on colonization of spring barleys by vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

The effects of three soil temperatures on growth of spring barleys (Hordeum vulgare L.) and on their root colonization by vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi from agricultural soils in Montana (USA) or Syria at different inoculum concentrations were tested in soil incubators in the greenhouse. The number of mycorrhizal plants as well as the proportion and intensity of roots colonized increased with higher soil temperatures. VAM fungi from Montana, primarily Glomus macrocarpum, were cold tolerant at 11°C while those from Syria, primarily G. hoi, were heat tolerant at 26°C. Inoculum potential of Montana VAM fungi was higher than Syrian VAM fungi in cool soils. Harmal, selected from Syrian barley land races, had the highest colonization by mycorrhizal fungi of the cultivars tested.Journal Series Paper: J-2532 Montana Agricultural Experiment Station.     

Onion fly oviposition as influenced by soil temperature

A direct causal relationship was demonstrated between soil temperature and insect ovipositional propensity. When ovipositional substrates (soils) at 5, 15, 22, 30, 35, and 40°C were presented in multiple treatment (choice) tests with air temperature at 15 or 22°C, onion flies, Delia antiqua (Meigen) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae), laid the most eggs in the 22°C substrate. Only 50 eggs were laid when air temperature was increased to 30°C, as compared to 454 and 1128 eggs at 22 and 15°C, respectively. Thus, an air temperature of 30°C appears to be near the upper limit of onion fly ovipositional activity. The numbers of flies observed (counts taken every 15 min) on substrates ranging from 15 to 40°C were not significantly different. Reduced alightment/arrestment does not explain reduced oviposition on the warmer substrates; however, it may partly explain reduced oviposition on 5°C substrates. The range of substrate temperatures facilitating substantial oviposition was narrower than that eliciting alightment/arrestment on the substrate. The ca. 20°C ovipositional optimum corresponds well with temperatures favoring egg survival and development.

Résumé La température du sol est réglée, dans les pondoirs de D. antiqua, par un thermoblock, tandis que toutes les autres variables, associées au succédané d'oignon servant de stimulus de ponte, sont maintenues constantes. Une relation causale entre température du sol et activité de ponte est mise en évidence. Quand il y a choix entre des substrats de ponte à 5, 15, 22, 30 et 40°C, avec une température de l'air de 22°C, les mouches pondent surtout dans le substrat à 22°C. L'optimum thermique est de 20°C quand la température de l'air est abaissée à 15°C. La ponte n'est que de 50 ufs quand la température de l'air est portée à 30°C, contre respectivement 454 et 1128 ufs à 22 et 15°C. Ainsi, une température de l'air de 30°C paraît proche de la limite supérieure de l'activité de ponte de D. antiqua. Le nombre de mouches observées sur le substrat (toutes les 15 min.) ne varie pas significativement quand la température du substrat est entre 15 et 40°C. La gamme de températures provoquant la fixation sur le substrat est plus large que celle des températures provoquant une ponte importante. L'optimum de 20°C correspond bien aux températures favorables à la survie et à la croissance de D. antiqua.Ce travail montre l'effet important de facteurs abiotiques sur l'acceptation de la plante-hôte.

     

Root nodulation and nitrogen accumulation and partitioning in legume crops as affected by soil solarization

Soil solarization is a preplanting technique used in hot climates to control weeds and soilborne pathogens consisting of mulching the soil surface with polyethylene sheets. The increase in temperature associated with solarized soil could affect nitrogen availability for grain legume crops through effects on nitrogen fixing soil microorganisms or other mechanisms. To examine the effects of solarization on natural root nodulation and nitrogen accumulation and partitioning in the plant, two solarization field experiments were carried out over two planting seasons, involving genotypes of both faba bean (Vicia faba) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum). The effect of sowing date was also studied in the first season. Solarization increased the maximum soil temperature by 9–10 °C in the first, and by 13–15 °C in the second season. At 5 cm below the solarized soil surface, a temperature of over 46 °C prevailed for 146 and 280 h over the two respective seasons, while this temperature was not attained in unmulched soil. Solarization delayed the initiation of nodulation and consistently reduced the nodule number per host plant, but generated an approximate doubling of mean nodule weight. The total nodule mass per plant was not affected by the treatment in the first season, but was reduced in the second season. Solarization significantly increased the concentrations of NO₃^– -N, Na⁺, Zn²⁺, Ca²⁺ and K⁺ in the soil extract, and the total nitrogen accumulated in the whole plant. This latter increase was due to both higher plant growth and a greater plant nitrogen concentration. The increased nitrogen level in the plant was not uniform with respect to plant component, varying from 57% in the roots to 198% in the pods and seeds. The plants grown in non-solarized soil accumulated about 31% of their total N content in the shoots of the parasitic weed Orobanche crenata. Solarization dramatically improved grain yield by 300–900% in both seasons and in all genotypes studied, due to increased N availability in soil, N accumulation in plants, improved plant growth, and complete control of the parasite weed O. crenata. On the basis of these beneficial effects, soil solarization, which avoids site contamination and is suited to organic farming, should be a good opportunity in Mediterranean areas where the level and stability of grain yields are low, and the infestation of O. crenata is high.     

氮添加和凋落物去除对黔中喀斯特地区柳杉人工林土壤呼吸的影响

凋落物是土壤呼吸的主要碳源,日益增加的大气氮沉降通过改变森林凋落物的输入与分解影响土壤呼吸。为揭示氮沉降及凋落物管理对森林土壤呼吸及其组分的影响,以贵州省国有扎佐林场15年生柳杉人工林为研究对象,设置4个氮添加处理:对照(CK,0 gN m^-2 a^-1)、低氮(LN,15 gN m^-2 a^-1)、中氮(MN,30 gN m^-2 a^-1)和高氮(HN,60 gN m^-2 a^-1),并在每种氮添加处理下设置去除凋落物和保留凋落物两种处理,于2021年3月-2022年2月利用LI-8100测定土壤呼吸速率,并分析氮添加及凋落物处理对土壤呼吸速率影响,确定影响土壤呼吸速率变化的主要因子。结果表明:氮添加和去除凋落物处理没有改变土壤呼吸速率的时间变化,土壤呼吸速率月均最大值出现在7月,月均最小值出现在2月。氮添加对土壤呼吸速率无显著影响(P > 0.05),除CK外,去除凋落物处理会显著降低土壤呼吸速率(P < 0.05)。凋落物对土壤总呼吸速率的贡献率为8.6%-28.5%,且LN处理下凋落物对土壤呼吸速率的贡献率最大。土壤呼吸速率与5 m土壤温度呈显著指数相关(P < 0.01),与5 cm土壤湿度呈显著负线性相关(P < 0.01)。土壤温度解释了土壤呼吸速率变异的58.5%-79.5%,土壤湿度解释了土壤呼吸速率变异的26.4%-39.5%,以土壤温度和湿度构建的双变量模型拟合效果均好于单因子模型,土壤温湿度共同解释土壤呼吸速率变异的59.1%-85.8%。结论表明在大气氮沉降增加的背景下,温度是影响土壤呼吸的主要因素,凋落物管理是调控土壤呼吸的关键过程。
