应用热扩散法测定香蕉树蒸腾速率

香蕉树植株高大,一般采用间接方法确定耗水量,但所得结果受土壤、大气和农艺措施等因素的影响较大.本文于2005年11月15日—12月5日在温室内采用热扩散法（即Granier法）测定香蕉树的茎液流,并与用数字天平（称重法）测定的香蕉树蒸腾速率进行对比试验. 结果表明,Granier法测定的日茎液流量与称重法测定的日蒸腾量相差4％.Granier法测定的茎液流速率一般滞后于称重法确定的蒸腾速率1 h左右.当日蒸腾量小于0.05 L·m^-2（活性叶面积）时,Granier方法不能测定茎液流量.Granier传感器一般在安装2～3 d后即可正常工作,同时在多株植株上安装Granier传感器取其平均流速值计算蒸腾量可以明显减小测量误差.     

Estimating transpiration from 6-year-old Eucalyptus grandis trees: development of a canopy conductance model and comparison with independent sap flux measurements

Daily patterns of stomatal conductance (g_s), xylem pressure potential (P) and canopy microclimatic variables were recorded on 11 sample days as part of a one-year study of the water use of Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden in the eastern Transvaal, South Africa. Measured g_s was found to be largely controlled by quantum flux density (Q) and ambient vapour pressure deficit (D). Canopy conductance (g_c) was determined for hourly intervals using g_s measurements and leaf areas in four different canopy levels. A simple model was constructed to allow the prediction of g_c and transpiration from Q, D and season of year. The model was used to estimate transpiration rates from 10 trees in a later study of similarly-aged E. grandis trees, in which sap flow in each tree was measured using the heat pulse velocity (HPV) technique. Five of the trees were monitored on a summer day and five on a winter day. Correspondence between HPV sap flow and modelled transpiration was good for the summertime comparisons, but measured winter-time sap flow rates were underestimated by the model, especially under conditions of high sap flow. The discrepancy is believed to result from having insufficient data from the conductance study to describe the response of g_s to relatively high D in winter. Marked variation in transpiration per unit leaf area indicates that a relatively large number of trees must be sampled for the HPV technique to be used to obtain a mean rate for an entire stand in winter.     

整树水力导度协同冠层气孔导度调节森林蒸腾

冠层气孔导度决定森林的蒸腾效率,它对驱动水汽移动的水汽应力的响应受树木水力结构的影响,并随水汽压亏缺上升和水力导度下降而降低,维持水势在最低阈值之上,避免出现水力灾变,调控冠层蒸腾。由于叶形和树冠结构的特点,部分脱耦联反映了湿润地区阔叶林冠层与大气的水汽交换特征,单纯以气孔导度的变化难以完整描述水分通量的调节规律,因而,需要考虑冠层气孔导度与水力导度协同控制冠层蒸腾的潜在机理。通过整合叶片气孔气体交换、树干液流、冠层微气象和其他环境因子的野外观测值,估测不同时间尺度的森林冠层气孔导度与大气的脱耦联系数和变异范围,以基于树干液流的冠层蒸腾,结合叶片/土壤水势梯度计算的水力导度,分析水力导度影响冠层气孔导度响应水汽压亏缺的敏感性,可以揭示和阐明水力导度和冠层气孔导度联合调节森林蒸腾的机理,对准确估测全球变化背景下森林对水资源利用的潜在生态效应有明显的理论意义。     

黄土高原苹果园蒸腾导度大气驱动规律比较

植物蒸腾导度是表征土壤-植物-大气连续体（SPAC）中植物-大气间水汽传导过程、反映植物水分调控能力的一类重要变量,常见有冠层导度（G_c）、冠层气孔导度（G_s）与叶片气孔导度（g_s）,明确三者在反映冠层蒸腾过程时的异同或关联性对于理解植物水分利用机制具有重要意义。本研究基于对黄土高原果园苹果树生长季内树干液流（J_s）及环境因子的连续观测,计算了G_c、G_s及脱耦联系数（Ω）等变量,并与短期连续观测的叶片气孔导度（g_s）比较,分析了G_c、G_s和g_s在反映冠层蒸腾特征方面的异同及其关系。结果表明,日变化过程中G_s、g_s呈"单峰"型曲线,而G_c则呈"先增后减,午后抬升"的"双峰"型曲线。g_s与G_s存在较紧密的线性关系（R²=0.80）,但与G_c的线性关系较弱（R²=0.02）。G_c、G_s均随大气水汽压亏缺（VPD）的变化呈现确定的规律,其中,上边界函数呈递减的对数函数关系,平均值则符合先增后减的Log-Normal函数关系（R²>0.95）,拐点对应的VPD值分别为1.33和1.16 kPa。在一日内,G_s对VPD变化的响应过程与g_s对VPDL （基于叶片温度计算的水汽压亏缺）变化的响应过程总体一致,其一致性高于G_c对VPD变化的响应。整个生长季（4-10月）中果树的Ω平均值为0.12,随着Ω递减,G_c与G_s的线性相关性愈趋紧密,其斜率呈递增趋势,G_c越来越趋近于G_s。研究结果表明,在北方地区,基于树干液流的监测能较准确的推导整株并估算林分的冠层蒸腾导度。与实测g_s的变化过程比较,G_s比G_c具有更高的一致性,G_s可以作为描述苹果树水分利用过程响应大气驱动的更为恰当的变量。     

Transpiration and whole-tree conductance in ponderosa pine trees of different heights

Changes in leaf physiology with tree age and size could alter forest growth, water yield, and carbon fluxes. We measured tree water flux (Q) for 14 ponderosa pine trees in two size classes (12 m tall and ∼40 years old, and 36 m tall and ∼ 290 years old) to determine if transpiration (E) and whole-tree conductance (g _t) differed between the two sizes of trees. For both size classes, E was approximately equal to Q measured 2 m above the ground: Q was most highly correlated with current, not lagged, water vapor pressure deficit, and night Q was <12% of total daily flux. E for days 165–195 and 240–260 averaged 0.97 mmol m^–2 (leaf area, projected) s^–1 for the 12-m trees and 0.57 mmol m^–2 (leaf area) s^–1 for the 36-m trees. When photosynthetically active radiation (I _P) exceeded the light saturation for photosynthesis in ponderosa pine (900 μmol m^–2 (ground) s^–1), differences in E were more pronounced: 2.4 mmol m^–2 (leaf area) s^–1 for the 12-m trees and 1.2 mmol m^–2 s^–1 for the 36-m trees, yielding g _t of 140 mmol m^–2 (leaf area) s^–1 for the 12-m trees and 72 mmol m^–2 s^–1 for the 36-m trees. Extrapolated to forests with leaf area index =1, the 36-m trees would transpire 117 mm between 1 June and 31 August compared to 170 mm for the 12-m trees, a difference of 15% of average annual precipitation. Lower g _t in the taller trees also likely lowers photosynthesis during the growing season. Received: 19 April 1999 / Accepted: 23 March 2000     

北京山区侧柏林冠层-大气蒸腾导度模拟及环境因子响应

蒸腾导度模型是衡量冠层-大气界面水汽输出的重要阻力模型,研究其特征及对环境因子的响应,为揭示森林冠层-大气界面水汽输出阻力机制提供理论依据。以首都圈森林生态系统定位观测研究站侧柏林为研究对象,采用TDP热探针法测定侧柏林树干液流密度,同步监测光合有效辐射、饱和水汽压差、气温、风速等主要环境因子,分析冠层导度和空气动力学导度的动态变化,构建冠层-大气蒸腾导度模型并模拟,明确冠层-大气蒸腾导度对各环境因子的响应关系。结果表明:蒸腾导度季节变化表现为非生长季与冠层导度趋势一致,生长季与空气动力学导度趋势一致,全年均为单峰趋势。冬季蒸腾导度与冠层导度保持较稳定差值(45 mol m^(-2 )s^-1左右),其他季节蒸腾导度与冠层导度、空气动力学导度的最大差值,均在各季节冠层导度、空气动力学导度的峰值水平。全年日均蒸腾导度冬季最大(86.92 mol m^(-2 )s^-1),其他季节较小且稳定(40—50 mol m^(-2 )s^-1之间)。在非生长季各环境因子对蒸腾导度的影响与对冠层导度的影响基本一致,温度为主要影响因子(r=-0.198),其他环境因子影响较小(r<0.1);在生长季中风速为主要影响因子(r=0.488),光合有效辐射(r=0.228)和饱和水汽压差(r=-0.299)的影响明显升高,温度的影响降低(r=0.114)。蒸腾导度模型较好的模拟了冠层-大气界面侧柏蒸腾不同季节的变化规律,阐明了各环境因子和冠层导度、空气动力学导度对蒸腾导度的影响机制,证实在生长季应重视空气动力学导度对蒸腾的影响。     

Leaf gas exchange of trees in old-growth and young secondary forest stands in Sulawesi, Indonesia

In the tropics, old-growth forests are converted to other land cover types at a high rate and young secondary forest may gain in importance. Information on associated changes in leaf gas exchange and other leaf traits can be valuable for modelling biogeochemical fluxes under altered land-use patterns. We studied in situ photosynthetic parameters and stomatal conductance for water vapour in eight abundant tree species of young secondary forest and eight tree species of natural old-growth forest in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. In sun leaves, the average maximal stomatal conductance (g _smax) in the secondary forest (SF) species was 2.1 times higher than in the old-growth forest (OGF) species. Species with a high g _smax reduced g _s sharply when vapour pressure deficit of the air increased, whereas species with a low g _smax were much less sensitive to air humidity. For area-based photosynthetic capacity (A _max-area), the SF species had a 2.3 times higher average than the OGF species. For both, g _smax and A _max-area the variation among species was higher in the OGF than in the SF. When all tree species (n=16) are considered, species means of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf N concentration and leaf P concentration were significantly correlated with g _smax and A _max-area. The strong correlation between A _max-area and foliar P (r ²=0.8) is remarkable as the alluvial soils in the study region are rich in nutrients. If the eight OGF species are analysed separately, the only significant correlation was observed between SLA and mass-based A _max; in the SF species strong correlations were found between leaf size and A _max-area and g _smax. These results show that the conversion of old-growth forest to young secondary forest in Sulawesi significantly alters tree leaf gas exchange characteristics and that chemical and structural leaf traits can be used for the prediction of these changes. The best correlations between leaf gas exchange parameters and leaf traits were obtained by different traits in the SF species, the OGF species and the entire pool of studied species.     

Comparisons of soil‐water content between a Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest and an evergreen broadleaved forest in western Japan

In Japan, forests of Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens, an exotic invasive giant bamboo) have naturalized and expanded rapidly, replacing surrounding broadleaved and coniferous forests. To evaluate impacts caused by these forest‐type replacements on the hydrological cycle, soil‐water content and its spatial variability in a Moso bamboo forest were compared with those in an adjacent evergreen broadleaved forest, in a case study of a stand in western Japan (northern Kyushu). The volumetric soil‐water content averaged over depths between 0 and 60 cm was consistently higher in the bamboo stand than that in the broadleaved stand. These results contrast with previous studies comparing the soil‐water content in Moso bamboo forests with that in other forest types. The sum of canopy transpiration and soil evaporation (E) in the bamboo stand tended to be larger than that in the broadleaved stand. Small canopy interception loss was reported in the bamboo forest. Therefore, the large amount of E would counterbalance the small canopy interception loss in the bamboo forest. Differences in soil characteristics between the two stands may be the main factor causing differences in soil‐water content. Spatial variation in soil‐water content in the bamboo stand was larger than that in the broadleaved stand, confirming findings in a previous series of our study. This could happen because the well‐developed root‐system in the bamboo forest enhances preferential flow in the soil. To evaluate the effects of aggressive invasion of alien giant bamboo on the ecosystem functions, we recommend further studies measuring various hydrological components in various Moso bamboo forests.     

三种温带树种树干储存水对蒸腾的贡献

树干储存水在协调叶片水分和碳平衡、维持树木水分收支平衡中起着重要作用。以无孔材红松(Pinus koraiensis)、散孔材山杨(Populus davidiana)和环孔材蒙古栎(Quercus mongolica)为对象, 于2010年8月中旬至9月末(生长季后期)测定其冠基和干基树干液流通量以及树干储存水的日变化过程, 量化分析树干储存水对日蒸腾量的贡献及其生物影响因子。结果表明: 冠基的液流比干基启动得早, 而且两者在一天中存在显著的时滞。树干储存水的日进程总体上可分为: 完全释放、以释放为主补充为辅、以补充为主释放为辅、饱和稳定等4个阶段, 但每个阶段的持续时间和变化格局随树种而变。红松的树干储存水在一天内表现出两个释放-补充周期, 而两种阔叶树种均只经历了一次释放-补充过程。在测定时段内红松、山杨、蒙古栎标准化到平均木(边材体积为0.29 m³)的树干储存水释放量分别为: (3.4 ± 1.5)、(2.4 ± 0.6)和(1.5 ± 0.4) kg·d ^-1, 分别占日蒸腾量的18.9%、17.1%和8.8%。树干储存水释放量与日蒸腾量呈显著的指数函数关系, 而与干基的边材面积和树高呈正相关关系。该研究突显了树木大小(树高和边材面积)和材性特征对树干储存水释放量及其对蒸腾量贡献的重要影响。     

Transpiration and canopy conductance in a pristine broad-leaved forest of Nothofagus: an analysis of xylem sap flow and eddy correlation measurements

Summary Tree transpiration was determined by xylem sap flow and eddy correlation measurements in a temperate broad-leaved forest of Nothofagus in New Zealand (tree height: up to 36 m, one-sided leaf area index: 7). Measurements were carried out on a plot which had similar stem circumference and basal area per ground area as the stand. Plot sap flux density agreed with tree canopy transpiration rate determined by the difference between above-canopy eddy correlation and forest floor lysimeter evaporation measurements. Daily sap flux varied by an order of magnitude among trees (2 to 87 kg day^–1 tree^–1). Over 50% of plot sap flux density originated from 3 of 14 trees which emerged 2 to 5 m above the canopy. Maximum tree transpiration rate was significantly correlated with tree height, stem sapwood area, and stem circumference. Use of water stored in the trees was minimal. It is estimated that during growth and crown development, Nothofagus allocates about 0.06 m of circumference of main tree trunk or 0.01 m² of sapwood per kg of water transpired over one hour.Maximum total conductance for water vapour transfer (including canopy and aerodynamic conductance) of emergent trees, calculated from sap flux density and humidity measurements, was 9.5 mm s^–1 that is equivalent to 112 mmol m^–2 s^–1 at the scale of the leaf. Artificially illuminated shoots measured in the stand with gas exchange chambers had maximum stomatal conductances of 280 mmol m^–2 s^–1 at the top and 150 mmol m^–2 s^–1 at the bottom of the canopy. The difference between canopy and leaf-level measurements is discussed with respect to effects of transpiration on humidity within the canopy. Maximum total conductance was significantly correlated with leaf nitrogen content. Mean carbon isotope ratio was –27.76±0.27 (average ±s.e.) indicating a moist environment. The effects of interactions between the canopy and the atmosphere on forest water use dynamics are shown by a fourfold variation in coupling of the tree canopy air saturation deficit to that of the overhead atmosphere on a typical fine day due to changes in stomatal conductance.This paper is dedicated to Prof. Dr. O.L. Lange on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Transpiration and root water uptake by olive trees

While the cultivated olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is known to be sclerophyllous and effective at tolerating drought, little is known of its short-term water-use dynamics for most studies have been based on longer-term, water-balance information. We present here, for the first time, heat-pulse measurements of the sap flux measured not only within the semi-trunk of an olive tree, but also within a root excavated close to the stump. One tree in the olive grove near Seville in Spain had regularly received basin irrigation during the summer, whereas the other, growing on this deep silt loam, had been without water for over 3 months. Following a flood irrigation of 730 L to a dyked area around the tree, the regularly-irrigated olive maintained a transpiration rate of 1.65 mm³ mm^–2 d^–1, on a leaf area basis, for only 3 days following the irrigation. This rate was maintained for a total consumption of 110 L. It then began again to limit its rate of water use with transpiration falling below that predicted for well-watered conditions by the Penman-Monteith equation. The flow of sap in the near-surface root dropped concomitantly. Meanwhile the unirrigated tree was using water at just 0.78 mm d^–1. Yet following an irrigation of 870 L it only lifted its consumption to 1.12 mm d^–1, on a leaf area basis. Neither did it recover its leaf water potential following this wetting because of an inability to refill cavitated vessels. These data again show olive to be a parsimonious and cautious consumer of soil water.     

Time constant for water transport in loblolly pine trees estimated from time series of evaporative demand and stem sapflow

 The use of stem sap flow data to estimate diurnal whole-tree transpiration and canopy stomatal conductance depends critically upon knowledge of the time lag between transpiration and water flux through the stem. In this study, the time constant for water movement in stems of 12-year-old Pinus taeda L. individuals was estimated from analysis of time series data of stem water flux and canopy transpiration computed from mean daytime canopy conductance, and diurnal vapor pressure deficit and solar radiation measurements. Water uptake through stems was measured using a constant-heat sapflow probe. Canopy transpiration was correlated to stem uptake using a resistance-capacitance equation that incorporates a time constant parameter. A least-squares auto-regression determined the parameters of the resistance-capacitance equation. The time constants for ten loblolly pine trees averaged 48.0 (SE = 2.0) min and the time lag for the diurnal frequency averaged 47.0 (SE = 2.0) min. A direct-cross correlation analysis between canopy transpiration and sap flow time series showed maximum correlation at an approximately 30 min lag. Residuals (model-predicted minus actual stem flow data) increased with increasing soil moisture depletion. While the time constants did not vary significantly within the range of tree sizes studied, hydraulic resistance and capacitance terms were individually dependent on stem cross-sectional area: capacitance increased and resistance decreased with stem volume. This result may indicate an inverse adjustment of resistance and capacitance to maintain a similar time constant over the range of tree sizes studied.

Interaction of flooding with carbon metabolism of forest trees

Waterlogging and flooding cause oxygen deprivation in the root system of trees. Since oxygen is essentially for mitochondrial respiration, this process cannot be maintained under anoxic conditions and must be replaced by other pathways. For the roots it is therefore a matter of survival to switch from respiration to alcoholic fermentation. Due to the low efficiency of this process to yield energy equivalents (ATP), energy and carbon metabolism of trees are usually strongly affected by oxygen deprivation, even if a rapid switch from respiration to fermentation is achieved. The roots can compensate for the low energy yield of fermentation either (1) by decreasing the demand for energy by a reduction of energy-dependent processes such as root growth and/or nutrient uptake, or (2) by consuming more carbohydrates per unit time in order to generate sufficient energy equivalents. In the leaves of trees, flooding and waterlogging cause a decline in the rates of photosynthesis and transpiration, as well as in stomatal conductance. It is assumed that, due to reduced phloem transport, soluble sugars and starch accumulate in the leaves of flooded trees, thereby negatively affecting the sugar supply of the roots. Thus, root growth and survival is negatively affected by both changes in root internal carbon metabolism and impaired carbon allocation to the roots by phloem transport. In addition, accumulation of toxic products of fermentation in the roots, such as acetaldehyde, can further impair root metabolism. A main feature of tolerance against flooding and waterlogging of trees seems to be the steady supply of carbohydrates to the roots in order to maintain alcoholic fermentation; in addition, roots of tolerant trees seem to avoid accumulation of fermentation-derived ethanol and acetaldehyde. From studies with flooding tolerant and non-tolerant tree species, it is hypothesized that (1) the transport of ethanol produced in the roots under hypoxic conditions into the leaves via the transpiration stream, (2) its conversion into acetyl-CoA in the leaves, and (3) its use in the plant's general metabolism, are mechanisms of flooding tolerance of trees.

Photosynthesis and successional status of Costa Rican rain forest trees

Seven tree species from three different light environments in the wet lowland forests of Costa Rica were grown under controlled environment conditions to assess light related photosynthetic potentials. Light saturated photosynthesis rates were clearly related to light levels of the field environments. Mean saturated, net photosynthetic rates ranged from 6.8 to 11.3 to 27.7 mol m^–2 sec^–1 for plants from heavy shade, canopy light gaps and man-made clearings respectively. Light saturation of plants from clearings occurred at photosynthetic photon flux densities greater than 1000 mol m^–2 sec^–1 whereas plants from heavy shade environments became light saturated near 500 mol m^–2 sec^–1. Plants that normally occur in intermediate light environments were intermediate in light saturation levels. Mean maximum stomatal conductances ranged from 1.0 to 7.3 mm sec^–1 and followed a pattern similar to photosynthetic rates.     

北京山区油松和元宝槭冠层气孔导度特征及其环境响应

叶片气孔是植物进行水汽交换的通道, 影响着植物的蒸腾和光合作用。然而叶片气孔行为受环境条件和树种类型的影响, 不同树种冠层气孔导度对环境因子响应的差异性, 以及在生长季不同时期叶片气孔对冠层蒸腾的调节作用是否会发生改变, 仍不清楚。该研究目的是通过探究各环境因子对不同树种冠层气孔导度的相对贡献率以及叶片气孔对冠层蒸腾的调节作用, 为深入了解植物水分利用状况和山区森林经营提供参考依据。于2018年生长季以北京八达岭国家森林公园内的58年生油松(Pinus tabuliformis)和39年生元宝槭(Acer truncatum)为研究对象, 利用热扩散技术对其树干液流进行连续监测, 并同步监测环境因子。利用彭曼公式计算冠层气孔导度(G_s)。主要结果: (1)油松和元宝槭日间G_s在日、月时间尺度上存在明显差异。5-7月油松和元宝槭日动态G_s均随饱和水汽压差(VPD)和太阳辐射(GR)的增加呈上升趋势, 上升持续时间比8月和9月长; 在月尺度上, 随着VPD、GR的降低和土壤湿度(VWC)的升高, G_s从5月到9月整体上升。(2)利用增强回归树法分析得到VWC和VPD对G_s的贡献率最大, 其次是GR、气温和风速。VWC和VPD对油松G_s的贡献率分别为66.4%和17.4%, 对元宝槭G_s的贡献率分别为54.8%和21.0%。(3)油松和元宝槭的dG_s/dlnVPD值与参考冠层气孔导度之间的斜率均显著高于0.6, 气孔调节作用相对较强。综上所述, 气孔对环境因子的响应在树种以及生长季不同时期之间存在差异, 为防止水分过度散失, 两树种在不同土壤水分条件下均通过严格的气孔调节控制蒸腾量。     

亚高山云冷杉混交林树木生长释放与干扰分析

对云南碧塔海亚高山云冷杉林内４个样地冠层树木的生长压制和释放的历史,用树木年轮分析方法进行了重建,然后根据生长释放频率推测林冠干扰强度（每１０年冠层树木的死亡百分率）。４个林分（１个中龄林,３个成过熟林）生长释放的平均百分率为４８％～９２％。中龄林内,平均生长释放频率为７１％／１０ａ,成过熟林则为７４％～９５％／１０ａ,在油麦吊云杉〔Ｐｉｃｅａｂｒａｃｈｙｔｙｌａｖａｒ．ｃｏｍｐｌａｎａｔａ（Ｍａｓｔ．）ＣｈｅｎｇｅｘＲｅｈｄ．〕占优势的林分和大果红杉（Ｌａｒｉｘｐｏｔａｎｉｎｉｖａｒ．ｍａｃｒｏｃａｒｐａＬａｗ）油麦吊云杉混交林分内,估测的林冠干扰强度分别为４８％／１０ａ和５９％／１０ａ。     

Impact of environmental factors on the decoupling coefficient and the estimation of canopy stomatal conductance for ever-green broad-leaved tree species

精确模拟冠层气孔导度(G_S)对于评估区域蒸散具有重要意义。该研究选择两种常见的人工阔叶树种尾叶桉(Eucalyptus urophylla, 外来种)和木荷(Schima superba, 本地种)作为研究对象, 利用K?stner法和修订的Penman-Monteith公式计算冠层平均气孔导度(分别定义为G_S1和G_S2)。研究还分析了环境因子对冠层脱耦联系数(Ω)的影响, 并用其来评价两种方法模拟的冠层气孔导度的合理性。结果表明, 两个树种冠层气孔导度均与气象条件耦合较好(尾叶桉: Ω = 0.10 ± 0.03, 木荷: Ω = 0.17 ± 0.03)。主成分分析显示, 光合有效辐射(PAR)以及水汽压亏缺(D)显著影响Ω的大小, 而风速(u)的影响较小。单因素分析则发现各环境因子与Ω之间的相关性并不显著。边界线分析表明D和PAR的增加使得Ω最终趋向于一个与树种有关的稳定值(木荷≈ 0.20, 尾叶桉≈ 0.05), 而Ω随u的增加呈幂指数下降。与木荷相比, 尾叶桉具有更高的气孔导度(尾叶桉和木荷的G_S2年平均值分别为(33.42 ± 9.37) mmol·m ^-2·s ^-1和(23.40 ± 2.03) mmol·m ^-2·s ^-1), 并且尾叶桉和木荷的G_S1与G_S2的线性拟合斜率分别为0.92 (R ² ≈ 0.70)和0.98 (R ² ≈ 0.76) , 表明G_S1比G_S2高估了冠层气孔导度。另外, G_S1和G_S2对水汽压亏缺的敏感性与参比气孔导度(G_Siref, D = 1 kPa时的气孔导度)的比值Pi与Ω紧密相关。根据统计, 尾叶桉和木荷的G_S1估计值在Ω = 0.05-0.15 (83.1%的数据)和0.10-0.20 (47.8%的数据)之间时是相对可靠的。     

Sap flow measurements with some thermodynamic methods,flow integration within trees and scaling up from sample trees to entire forest stands

Sap flow measurement techniques and evaluation of data are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to the trunk segment heat balance (THB) and heat field deformation (HFD) methods based on 30 years experience. Further elaboration of sap flow data is discussed in terms of integrating flow for whole stems from individual measuring points, considering variation of radial patterns in sapwood and variation around stems. Scaling up of data from sets of sample trees to entire forest stands based on widely available biometric data (partially on remote sensing images) is described and evaluated with a discussion of the magnitude of errors, the routine procedure applicable in any forest stand and practical examples.
