苹果密植园与间伐园树冠层内叶片光合潜力比较

通过对成龄苹果密植园和间伐园树冠不同层次和部位叶片光合潜力及辐射通量密度、叶片N含量和比叶重等指标的比较分析,研究了苹果园改造前后辐射能和氮素利用效率差异及其与产量品质的关系.结果表明：间伐显著改善了冠层内的辐射环境,间伐园冠层内的辐射分布明显比密植园均匀,相对辐射通量密度小于30%的无效光区接近0,而密植园冠层内的最低相对辐射通量密度为17%,在相对高度03以下均为无效光区;间伐园内冠层叶片的光合效率显著提高,间伐园树冠中、下部叶片的光合速率比密植园分别提高了78%和102%;叶片的最大羧化速率和最大电子传递速率也有较大幅度的提升.苹果园冠层叶片的光合效率与叶片N含量存在显著的相关关系,而叶片N含量又与辐射通量密度存在显著的相关关系,因此,可根据冠层叶片相对N含量的垂直分布间接和定量地判断叶片的光合效率或相对辐射通量密度的空间分布.

基于Campbell椭球分布函数的大兴安岭地区主要树种叶倾角分布模拟

叶倾角分布(LAD)直接决定着植被冠层对辐射的截获量,同时对入射太阳辐射的大小与走向也起着决定性作用,是定量遥感中的关键参数.本研究基于Campbell椭球分布函数和迭代方法拟合大兴安岭林区主要树种的LAD,定量分析冠层叶片分层与不分层时模型的拟合情况及不同龄组对LAD的影响.结果表明： 大兴安岭地区6种主要树种的LAD均属于横椭球分布,针叶树的平均叶倾角小于阔叶树;无论对叶片分层处理与否,模型拟合叶倾角的结果与实测结果基本一致;白桦和落叶松的拟合结果与实测结果线性回归的相关系数分别是0.8268、0.8192,均方根误差分别是3.7%、4.3%,说明Campbell模型应用于森林冠层是可靠的;考虑龄组的影响时,虽然分层处理时叶倾角的分布趋势与龄组无关,但幼龄落叶松的平均叶倾角小于成熟落叶松,表明龄组对叶倾角分布取值有正向影响,而对消光系数取值有负向
影响.

杉木幼树冠层结构与生物量关系的初步研究

本文探讨了5年生杉木树冠的结构特点及其与植株生物量的关系。不问冠型如何,同一林分幼杉各器官干重的比重都比较稳定;树冠针叶干得密度为0.18—0.44千克/米~3,针叶面积(仅计一面)密度为0.97—2.40米~2/米~3,比Kira等(1969)报道的阔叶树的叶面积密度大4—5倍;针叶主要着生在二级和一级侧枝上,集中分布在树冠中下部。闽北地区Ⅱ一Ⅲ地位级杉木造林后4年内干物质生产速率平均为345克/米~2/年,对辐射能的利用率为0.17％。浓密型杉木的生长要显著快于稀疏型杉木。 根据幼杉冠层结构的特点,提出:(1)应加强幼林抚育,改善中下部林冠的光照条件,以发挥比重最大的中下部冠层针叶的光合潜力;(2)为使幼杉树冠发育良好,闽北地区Ⅱ—Ⅲ地位级杉木的栽植密度应在2×2米至2×3米之间;(3)为提高杉木幼林期林地的光能利用率,可在幼林内间作农作物;(4)抚育采伐时应尽量保留浓密型杉木而去除稀疏型杉木;(5)可以考虑把浓密型杉木单独造林;(6)可以指望把浓密型杉木作为优良的育种原始材料。     

苹果三维树冠的净光合速率分布模拟

构建三维树冠光合模型可模拟出叶片净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(G_s)和光能利用效率(LUE)在树冠内的三维分布。以17年生纺锤形"富士"苹果树(Malus domestica Borkh. cv. ‘Fuji’)为试材,通过实测确定三维树冠内叶片和辐射分布,根据不同部位叶片最大光合速率经验公式模拟叶片P_n 在三维树冠空间内分布,并据2007-2009年测定数据拟合相关模型参数。模拟表明,苹果树冠叶片P_n 和辐射的三维分布相似,在树冠上部P_n 三维分布比较平缓,然后随辐射的减少而迅速降低。高辐射条件下(PAR=1500 μmol·m^-2·s^-1),从树冠上部3 m处降到到1 m,平均相对辐射从71.18%降到8.05%,减少了89%,叶片平均P_n从15.05 μmol·m^-2·s^-1降到1.92 μmol·m^-2·s^-1,减少了87%。单位体积小室内的总净光合速率大小主要取决于叶面积密度,部分取决于P_n。G_s三维分布与P_n相似,而LUE分布与辐射相反,中下部高,上部低。根据光合机理模型、树冠内辐射和叶面积三维分布可模拟出苹果三维树冠内叶片的P_n、G_s和LUE分布,该模型参数少,可方便用于其它果树三维光合模型构建和果树整形修剪研究。     

Solar ultraviolet-B and photosynthetically active irradiance in the urban sub-canopy: A survey of influences

Stratospheric ozone loss in mid-latitudes is expected to increase the ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation at the earth's surface. Impacts of this expected increase will depend on many factors, including the distribution of light in other wavelengths. Measurements of the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and UVB irradiance were made under clear skies at an open field and under the canopy of scattered trees in a suburban area in W. Lafayette, Indiana, USA (latitude 40.5°). Results showed that when there was significant sky view, the UVB penetration into sub-canopy spaces differs greatly from that of PAR. The UVBT _canopy (transmittance; irradiance below canopy/irradiance in open) was inversely related to sky view. The UVB irradiance did not vary as greatly between shaded and sunlit areas as did PAR. Analysis of measurements made near a brick wall indicated that the leaf area of a canopy and the brick wall primarily acted to block fractions of the sky radiance and contributed little scattered UVB to the horizontal plant. A model was developed to predict the UVB and PART _canopy based on diffuse fraction, sky view, and porosity of the crown(s) through which the beam is penetrating. The model accounted for the UVB and PART _canopy to within 0.13 and 0.05 root mean squared error (RMSE), respectively. Analysis of the errors due to model assumptions indicated that care must be taken in describing the sky radiance distribution, the porosity of trees, the penetration of diffuse radiation through porous trees, and the location of sky-obstructing trees and buildings.     

Crown asymmetry in high latitude forests: disentangling the directional effects of tree competition and solar radiation

Light foraging by trees is a fundamental process shaping forest communities. In heterogeneous light environments this behavior is expressed as plasticity of tree growth and the development of structural asymmetries. We studied the relative influence of neighborhood structure and directional solar radiation on horizontal asymmetry of tree crowns in late‐successional high latitude (67–68°N) forests in northern Fennoscandia. We described crown asymmetries as crown vectors (i.e. horizontal vectors from stem center to crown center), which we obtained from canopy maps based on crown perimeter measurements in the field. To disentangle the influence of the two main determinants, inter‐tree competition and directionality of above‐canopy solar radiation at high latitudes, we applied circular statistical models, utilizing cylindrical distributions, to these data consisting of orientations and intensities of crown asymmetry. At the individual tree level, our model predicted crown asymmetry vectors from the current stand structure, and the predictions became better when the intensity of asymmetry (i.e. crown vector length) was higher. Competition was the main determinant of crown asymmetry for 2/3 of trees, and the model predictions improved when we incorporated the directionality of solar radiation. At the stand‐level, these asymmetries had resulted in a small increment of the projected canopy area and an increased regularity of spatial structure. Our circular statistical modelling approach provided a quantitative evaluation of the relative importance of directionality of solar radiation and neighborhood stand structure, showing how both of these factors play a role in formation of crown asymmetries in high latitude forests. This approach further demonstrated the applicability of circular statistical modeling in ecological studies where the response variable has both orientation and intensity.     

Plasticity in leaf-area density within the crown of Aucuba japonica growing under different light levels

We assessed leaf-area density (LAD; m² m⁻³) within the crown of Aucuba japonica (Cornaceae) growing under different light regimes and analyzed the components of crown architecture that most influenced variation in LAD. At a whole-crown level, extension-unit (EU) density (EUs/m³) had the greatest impact on LAD. The number of leaves per unit EU length and EU length had a wide range of impacts depending on the degree of crowding of foliage on the EU. Leaf size had a lesser impact on LAD. LAD was higher in the uppermost crown and declined towards the base. The non-uniformity of LAD among crown layers was much greater under high irradiance. Individuals under high irradiance achieved greater LAD by increased branching, well-marked EU dimorphism and a larger number of leaves per unit EU length; the reverse was true for the individuals under low irradiance. We identified two distinct modes of growth response to light regime. Under high irradiance, individuals responded by differential growth between the layers of crowns with the lower crown suppressed and growth in the upper crown increased. Conversely, shaded individuals did not respond by differential growth between crown layers.     

Responses of crown development to canopy openings by saplings of eight tropical submontane forest tree species in Indonesia: a comparison with cool-temperate trees

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Growth in trunk height in canopy openings is important for saplings. How saplings increase height growth in canopy openings may relate to crown architectural constraints. Responses of crown development to canopy openings in relation to trunk height growth were studied for saplings (0.2-2.5 m tall) of eight tropical submontane forest tree species in Indonesia. The results of this study were also compared with those of temperate trees in northern Japan. METHODS: The crown architecture differed among the eight tropical species, i.e. they had sparsely to highly developed branching structures. Crown allometry was compared among the eight species in each canopy condition (closed canopy or canopy openings), and between closed canopy and canopy openings within a species. A general linear regression model was used to analyse how each species increases height growth rate in canopy openings. Crown allometry and its plasticity were compared between tropical and temperate trees by a nested analysis of covariance. KEY RESULTS: Tropical submontane trees had responses similar to cool-temperate trees, showing an increase in height in canopy openings, i.e. taller saplings of sparsely branched species increase height growth rates by increasing the sapling leaf area. Cool-temperate trees have a wider crown projection area and a smaller leaf area per crown projection area to avoid self-shading within a crown compared with tropical submontane trees. Plasticity of the crown projection area is greater in cool-temperate trees than in tropical submontane trees, probably because of the difference in leaf longevity. CONCLUSIONS: This study concluded that interspecific variation in the responses of crown development to canopy openings in regard to increasing height related to the species' branching structure, and that different life-forms, such as evergreen and deciduous trees, had different crown allometry and plasticity.

Solar radiation transmission in and around canopy gaps in an uneven-aged <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nothofagus betuloides</Emphasis> forest

The transmission of direct, diffuse and global solar radiation in and around canopy gaps occurring in an uneven-aged, evergreen Nothofagus betuloides forest during the growing season (October 2006–March 2007) was estimated by means of hemispherical photographs. The transmission of solar radiation into the forest was affected not only by a high level of horizontal and vertical heterogeneity of the forest canopy, but also by low angles of the sun’s path. The below-canopy direct solar radiation appeared to be variable in space and time. On average, the highest amount of transmitted direct solar radiation was estimated below the undisturbed canopy at the southeast of the gap centre. The transmitted diffuse and global solar radiation above the forest floor exhibited lower variability and, on average, both were higher at the centre of the canopy gaps. Canopy structure and stand parameters were also measured to explain the variation in the below-canopy solar radiation in the forest. The model that best fit the transmitted below-canopy direct solar radiation was a growth model, using plant area index with an ellipsoidal angle distribution as the independent variable (R ² = 0.263). Both diffuse and global solar radiation were very sensitive to canopy openness, and for both cases a quadratic model provided the best fit for these data (R ² = 0.963 and 0.833, respectively). As much as 75% and 73% of the variation in the diffuse and global solar radiation, respectively, were explained by a combination of stand parameters, namely basal area, crown projection, crown volume, stem volume, and average equivalent crown radius.

Effects of kaolin application on light absorption and distribution, radiation use efficiency and photosynthesis of almond and walnut canopies

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Kaolin applied as a suspension to plant canopies forms a film on leaves that increases reflection and reduces absorption of light. Photosynthesis of individual leaves is decreased while the photosynthesis of the whole canopy remains unaffected or even increases. This may result from a better distribution of light within the canopy following kaolin application, but this explanation has not been tested. The objective of this work was to study the effects of kaolin application on light distribution and absorption within tree canopies and, ultimately, on canopy photosynthesis and radiation use efficiency. METHODS: Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) incident on individual leaves within the canopy of almond (Prunus dulcis) and walnut (Juglans regia) trees was measured before and after kaolin application in order to study PAR distribution within the canopy. The PAR incident on, and reflected and transmitted by, the canopy was measured on the same day for kaolin-sprayed and control trees in order to calculate canopy PAR absorption. These data were then used to model canopy photosynthesis and radiation use efficiency by a simple method proposed in previous work, based on the photosynthetic response to incident PAR of a top-canopy leaf. KEY RESULTS: Kaolin increased incident PAR on surfaces of inner-canopy leaves, although there was an estimated 20 % loss in PAR reaching the photosynthetic apparatus, due to increased reflection. Assuming a 20 % loss of PAR, modelled photosynthesis and photosynthetic radiation use efficiency (PRUE) of kaolin-coated leaves decreased by only 6.3 %. This was due to (1) more beneficial PAR distribution within the kaolin-sprayed canopy, and (2) with decreasing PAR, leaf photosynthesis decreases less than proportionally, due to the curvature of the photosynthesis response-curve to PAR. The relatively small loss in canopy PRUE (per unit of incident PAR), coupled with the increased incident PAR on the leaf surface on inner-canopy leaves, resulted in an estimated increase in modelled photosynthesis of the canopy (+9 % in both walnut and almond). The small loss in PRUE (per unit of incident PAR) resulted in an increase in radiation use efficiency per unit of absorbed PAR, which more than compensated for the minor (7 %) reduction in canopy PAR absorption. CONCLUSIONS: The results explain the apparently contradictory findings in the literature of positive or no effects of kaolin applications on canopy photosynthesis and yield, despite the decrease in photosynthesis by individual leaves when measured at the same PAR.
