以西双版纳热带季节雨林生态系统为对象,利用涡度相关系统定量分析了2003-2006年该生态系统光合作用特征及其环境控制因子.结果表明： 2003-2006年西双版纳热带季节雨林生态系统净光合作用年际变化较小,其最大光合速率(P_eco,opt)、昼间呼吸速率(R_eco,d)和表观量子效率(α)平均值分别为-0.813 mg·m^-2·s^-1、0.238 mg·m^-2·s^-1和-0.0023 mg·μmol^-1受气温(T_a)和饱和水汽压差(VPD)等环境因子的交互影响,不同季节生态系统光合作用特征有所差异.雨季的降水量大、气温较高,生态系统的光合能力最强;雾凉季的浓雾为植物提供了部分水分,其光合水平仍较高;干热季气温较高、降水少,T_a和VPD升高,P_eco,opt和α下降.净生态系统CO₂交换主要受>20 ℃的T_a和>1 kPa VPD的影响.     

Estimating canopy photosynthetic parameters in maize field based on multi-spectral remote sensing

Aims Determination of canopy photosynthetic parameters is key to accurate simulation of ecosystem function by using remote sensing methods. Currently, remote estimation of vegetation canopy structure characteristics has been widely adopted. However, directly estimating photosynthetic variables (photosynthetic capacity and efficiency) at canopy scale based on field spectrometry combined with CO₂ flux measurements is rare.
Methods In this study, we remotely estimated solar radiation use efficiency (εN, net ecosystem CO₂ exchange/absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (NEE_CO2/APAR); εG, gross primary productivity/absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (GPP/APAR); α, apparent quantum efficiency) and photosynthetic capacity (P_max) based on in situ measurements of spectral reflectance and ecosystem CO₂ fluxes, along with observational data on micrometeorological factors during the entire growing season for a maize canopy in Northeast China.
Important findings Results showed that the seasonal variations in P_max and α exhibited a single peak; whereas the values of εN and εG were higher at the start of vegetative stage and then rapidly decreased with the development of maize until displaying a single peak at the intermediate and late stages of the growing season, coinciding with the occurrence of peak values in P_max. A comparison was made on the predictive performance based on normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), ratio vegetation index (RVI), wide dynamic range vegetation index (WDRVI), 2-band enhanced vegetation index (EVI2), and chlorophyll index (CI) in estimating four canopy photosynthetic parameters with any combination of two separate wavelengths at the range of 400–1 300 nm, which showed that EVI2 was most closely and linearly related to photosynthetic capacity and efficiency. This study demonstrates that multi-spectral remote sensing information is sensitive to the variations in canopy photosynthetic parameters in maize field and can be used to quantitatively monitor seasonal dynamics of canopy photosynthesis, and to accurately assess crop productivity and ecosystem CO₂ exchange capacity.

Biophysical regulations of NEE light response in a steppe and a cropland in Inner Mongolia

Aims Ecosystem carbon models often require accurate net ecosystem exchange of CO₂ (NEE) light-response parameters, which can be derived from the Michaelis–Menten equation. These parameters include maximum net ecosystem exchange (NEE max), apparent quantum use efficiency (α) and daytime ecosystem respiration rate (R e). However, little is known about the effects of land conversion between steppe and cropland on these parameters, especially in semi-arid regions. To understand how these parameters vary in responses to biotic and abiotic factors under land conversions, seasonal variation of light-response parameters were evaluated for a steppe and a cropland of Inner Mongolia, China, during three consecutive years (2006–08) with different precipitation amounts.Methods NEE was measured over a steppe and a cropland in Duolun, Inner Mongolia, China, using the eddy covariance technique, and NEE light-response parameters (NEE max, α and R e) were derived using the Michaelis–Menten model. Biophysical regulations of these parameters were evaluated using a stepwise regression analysis.Important findings The maximum absolute values of NEE max occurred in the meteorological regimes of 15°C ≤ T a < 25°C, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) < 1 KPa and 0.21 m 3 m ? 3 ≤ volumetric soil water content at 10 cm (SWC) < 0.28 m 3 m ? 3 for both the steppe and the cropland ecosystems. The variations of α and R e showed no regular variation pattern in different T air, VPD and SWC regimes. Under the same regime of T air, VPD and SWC, the cropland had higher absolute values of NEE max than the steppe. Canopy conductance and leaf area index (LAI) were dominant drivers for variations in NEE light-response parameters of the steppe and the cropland. The seasonal variation of NEE light-response parameters followed the variation of LAI for two ecosystems. The peak values of all light-response parameters for the steppe and the cropland occurred from July to August. The values of NEE light-response parameters (NEE max, α and R e) were lower in the driest year (2007). Seasonally averaged NEE light-response parameters for the cropland surpassed those for the steppe. Land conversion from steppe to cropland enhanced NEE light-response parameters during the plant growing period. These results will have significant implications for improving the models on regional NEE variation under climate change and land-use change scenarios.

Effects of vegetation control on ecosystem water use efficiency within and among four grassland ecosystems in China

Through 2–3-year (2003–2005) continuous eddy covariance measurements of carbon dioxide and water vapor fluxes, we examined the seasonal, inter-annual, and inter-ecosystem variations in the ecosystem-level water use efficiency (WUE, defined as the ratio of gross primary production, GPP, to evapotranspiration, ET) at four Chinese grassland ecosystems in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and North China. Representing the most prevalent grassland types in China, the four ecosystems are an alpine swamp meadow ecosystem, an alpine shrub-meadow ecosystem, an alpine meadow-steppe ecosystem, and a temperate steppe ecosystem, which illustrate a water availability gradient and thus provide us an opportunity to quantify environmental and biological controls on ecosystem WUE at different spatiotemporal scales. Seasonally, WUE tracked closely with GPP at the four ecosystems, being low at the beginning and the end of the growing seasons and high during the active periods of plant growth. Such consistent correspondence between WUE and GPP suggested that photosynthetic processes were the dominant regulator of the seasonal variations in WUE. Further investigation indicated that the regulations were mainly due to the effect of leaf area index (LAI) on carbon assimilation and on the ratio of transpiration to ET ( T /ET). Besides, except for the swamp meadow, LAI also controlled the year-to-year and site-to-site variations in WUE in the same way, resulting in the years or sites with high productivity being accompanied by high WUE. The general good correlation between LAI and ecosystem WUE indicates that it may be possible to predict grassland ecosystem WUE simply with LAI. Our results also imply that climate change-induced shifts in vegetation structure, and consequently LAI may have a significant impact on the relationship between ecosystem carbon and water cycles in grasslands.     

四种作物光下暗呼吸速率降低的原因

以C₃作物(小麦, Triticum aestivum和大豆, Glycine max)和C₄作物(玉米, Zea mays和千穗谷, Amaranthus hypochondriacus)为例, 探讨了其光下暗呼吸速率降低的原因。结果表明, 2% O₂条件下, CO₂浓度为0时, 叶室CO₂浓度维持在0左右, 而胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)显著高于叶室CO₂浓度。分析认为这是由于此时植物的暗呼吸仍在正常进行。因此, 该测量条件下的表观光合速率应为CO₂浓度为0时的光下暗呼吸速率(R_d)。CO₂浓度为0时, 不同光强下的R_d均随光强的升高而降低, 且在低光强(50 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)和高光强(2000 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)之间存在显著差异, 说明光强对R_d具有较大影响。在2% O₂条件下, 经饱和光强充分活化而断光后, 以上4种作物叶片的暗呼吸速率(R_n)均随着时间的推移而下降, 说明光强并未抑制暗呼吸速率。试验结果表明, R_d的降低是由于CO₂被重新回收利用所导致, CO₂回收利用率随光强的升高而增大, 从低光强(50 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)到高光强(2000 μmol·m^-2·s^-1), 小麦、大豆、玉米和千穗谷的回收利用率范围变动分别为22.65%-52.91%、22.40%-55.31%、54.24%-87.59%和72.43%-90.07%。

Responses of nighttime sap flow to atmospheric and soil dryness and its potential roles for shrubs on the Loess Plateau of China

Aims Nocturnal sap flow (E_night) has been observed in a variety of plant species and environmental conditions. In water-limited environments,E_nightis important in the regulation of plant water’s physiology. This study was designed to evaluate the way in whichE_night(defined as sap flow from 20:30 to 06:00) responded to changes in the atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and the soil water content (SWC), and explored its potential physiological significance for different plant species in a semi-arid area.     

Spectral vegetation indices as the indicator of canopy photosynthetic productivity in a deciduous broadleaf forest

Aims Understanding of the ecophysiological dynamics of forest canopy photosynthesis and its spatial and temporal scaling is crucial for revealing ecological response to climate change. Combined observations and analyses of plant ecophysiology and optical remote sensing would enable us to achieve these studies. In order to examine the utility of spectral vegetation indices (VIs) for assessing ecosystem-level photosynthesis, we investigated the relationships between canopy-scale photosynthetic productivity and canopy spectral reflectance over seasons for 5 years in a cool, temperate deciduous broadleaf forest at 'Takayama' super site in central Japan.Methods Daily photosynthetic capacity was assessed by in situ canopy leaf area index (LAI), (LAI × V cmax [single-leaf photosynthetic capacity]), and the daily maximum rate of gross primary production (GPP max) was estimated by an ecosystem carbon cycle model. We examined five VIs: normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), green–red vegetation index (GRVI), chlorophyll index (CI) and canopy chlorophyll index (CCI), which were obtained by the in situ measurements of canopy spectral reflectance.Important findings Our in situ observation of leaf and canopy characteristics, which were analyzed by an ecosystem carbon cycling model, revealed that their phenological changes are responsible for seasonal and interannual variations in canopy photosynthesis. Significant correlations were found between the five VIs and canopy photosynthetic capacity over the seasons and years; four of the VIs showed hysteresis-type relationships and only CCI showed rather linear relationship. Among the VIs examined, we applied EVI–GPP max relationship to EVI data obtained by Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer to estimate the temporal and spatial variation in GPP max over central Japan. Our findings would improve the accuracy of satellite-based estimate of forest photosynthetic productivity in fine spatial and temporal resolutions, which are necessary for detecting any response of terrestrial ecosystem to meteorological fluctuations.     

Carbon–water coupling and its relationship with environmental and biological factors in a planted Caragana liouana shrub community in desert steppe,northwest China

宁夏荒漠草原区中间锦鸡儿灌丛群落碳水循环特征及其与生物环境因子的关系 干旱半干旱区的人工植被重建可能会改变陆地生态系统的重要生物物理过程——碳水循环,然而在人类活动背景下,仍然缺乏对这些区域生态系统的碳水耦合机制的认识。本研究基于涡度相关系统测量了宁夏盐池荒漠草原区人工种植的中间锦鸡儿(Caragana  liouana)灌丛群落的CO2和H2O通量,通过分析总初级生产力(Gross Primary Productivity, GPP)、蒸散发(Evapotranspiration, ET)和水分利用效率(Water Use Efficiency, WUE)的变化,探讨了人工灌丛生态系统碳水通量及其耦合关系,并进一步分析驱动其变化的生物环境因子。研究结果表明,气候因子的季节变化导致了生物物理特征和碳水通量呈周期性变化。在生长季,GPP和ET波动较大,而WUE变化相对稳定。GPP、ET和WUE显著受辐射(Global Radiation, Rg)、温度(Ta和Ts)、水汽压亏缺、叶面积指数和植物水分胁迫指数(Plant Water Stress Index, PWSI)的驱动。其中Rg、温度和PWSI是影响WUE的最重要因素。Rg和温度会对WUE产生直接的促进作用,但同时也会间接地提高PWSI进而抑制WUE。PWSI会抑制光合作用和蒸腾作用,当植物水分胁迫超过一个阈值(PWSI > 0.54)时,WUE会下降,这是因为GPP对植物水分胁迫的响应比ET更敏感。这些研究结果表明,在荒漠草原区通过大规模种植灌木可实现固碳的作用,但也必须充分考虑区域的水资源消耗和水分利用效率的状况。     

Measuring and modelling environmental influences on photosynthetic gas exchange in Sphagnum and Pleurozium

A mechanistic model has been used to examine the environmental regulation of photosynthetic gas exchange in moss. The effects of water content on conductance to CO₂ and on photosynthetic capacity during desiccation were calculated from the carbon isotope discrimination data of Williams & Flanagan (1996 , Oecologia 108, pp. 38–46) and combined with the biochemical model of Farquhar et al. (1980 , Planta 149, pp. 78–90). The model includes a simple light attenuation function that imparts curvature to the light response curve for net assimilation, enabling the use of physiologically realistic values for the biochemical parameters. Measurements of gas exchange for Sphagnum and Pleurozium were made in an old black spruce ecosystem over a growing season in order to assign values to parameters in the model. The calculated maximum rates of carboxylation by Rubisco ( V _max) were 5, 14 and 6 μ mol m^–2 s^–1 for Sphagnum during the spring, summer and autumn seasons of 1996, respectively. The increase in V _max during the summer was consistent with an increased allocation of resources to the photosynthetic apparatus. In contrast, no seasonal variation in V _max was observed in Pleurozium with average values of 7, 5 and 7 μ mol m^–2 s^–1 during the spring, summer and autumn, respectively.

Summer rain pulses may stimulate a CO2 release rather than absorption in desert halophyte communities

Background and aims

The response of plants and soil to rain pulses determines seasonal variations in the exchange of materials and energy at the ecosystem scale in arid and semi-arid regions. We assessed how the ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) of desert halophyte communities of different plant functional-types responds to summer precipitation pulses in Tamarix and Haloxylon communities.

Methods

Plant water status, photosynthetic gas exchange, soil respiration and net ecosystem carbon exchange were measured to test the hypothesis that high physiological sensitivity may induce a greater changes in NEE resulting from the summer precipitation pulses in Haloxylon community.

Results

Plant water status and photosynthetic assimilation did not differ before and after summer precipitation pulses in either community. In contrast, soil respiration and NEE responded strongly to summer precipitation events in both communities. At the ecosystem level, precipitation pulses induced a pulse of CO₂ release, rather than absorption. The NEE response to summer precipitation was less in the deep-rooted Tamarix community, compared to the shallow-rooted Haloxylon community, which was even converted into a carbon source after summer precipitation inputs. As a result, the effect of summer precipitation inputs on soil respiration was more important than the plant (carbon assimilation) response in determining the ecosystem response to episodic precipitation pulses.

Effects of seasonal and interannual variations in leaf photosynthesis and canopy leaf area index on gross primary production of a cool-temperate deciduous broadleaf forest in Takayama, Japan

Revealing the seasonal and interannual variations in forest canopy photosynthesis is a critical issue in understanding the ecological mechanisms underlying the dynamics of carbon dioxide exchange between the atmosphere and deciduous forests. This study examined the effects of temporal variations of canopy leaf area index (LAI) and leaf photosynthetic capacity [the maximum velocity of carboxylation (V _cmax)] on gross primary production (GPP) of a cool-temperate deciduous broadleaf forest for 5 years in Takayama AsiaFlux site, central Japan. We made two estimations to examine the effects of canopy properties on GPP; one is to incorporate the in situ observation of V _cmax and LAI throughout the growing season, and another considers seasonality of LAI but constantly high V _cmax. The simulations indicated that variation in V _cmax and LAI, especially in the leaf expansion period, had remarkable effects on GPP, and if V _cmax was assumed constant GPP will be overestimated by 15%. Monthly examination of air temperature, radiation, LAI and GPP suggested that spring temperature could affect canopy phenology, and also that GPP in summer was determined mainly by incoming radiation. However, the consequences among these factors responsible for interannual changes of GPP are not straightforward since leaf expansion and senescence patterns and summer meteorological conditions influence GPP independently. This simulation based on in situ ecophysiological research suggests the importance of intensive consideration and understanding of the phenology of leaf photosynthetic capacity and LAI to analyze and predict carbon fixation in forest ecosystems.
