大气一氧化碳浓度升高对植物生长的影响

大气ＣＯ２浓度同对植物生长有促进作用,对Ｃ３植物生长的促进作用最大。短期ＣＯ２浓度升高时,植物光和速率增加;在长期ＣＯ２浓度升高条件下,植物光鸽上降并发生光合适应现象。这可能是植物在长期ＣＯ２浓度升高条件下植物源库关系不平衡引起的反馈抑制作用以及营养吸收不能满足光合速率增加的需要所引起Ｒｕｂｉｓｅｏ活必和含量下降。在ＣＯ２浓度升高条件下植物的呼吸也会发生变化,根的分枝和数量增多,根系的分泌量和吸收

大气CO2浓度升高对稻田水体细菌及大肠菌群数量的影响

稻田水体中细菌(尤其是其中的大肠菌群)数量的多少及活性深刻影响着水体质量和物质循环,然而大气CO2浓度升高对它们的影响至今鲜有报道.为此,借助国际上唯一的稻麦复种FACE(free air CO2 enrichment)试验(位于江苏省江都市,始于2004年),于2006年对稻田水体中细菌数量、大肠菌群数量、总有机碳量和总氮量等进行了动态监测.结果表明,大气 CO2浓度升高显著提高了以上各指标在稻田水体中的含量(P <0.01),在整个水稻生育期,与对照相比,水体中的细菌数量、大肠菌群数量、总有机碳量和总氮量平均分别提高了45.9%、68.8%、31.2%和25.9%,不同生育期之间上述各指标存在显著差异(P<0.01).可见,大气CO2浓度升高不仅可通过改变稻田水体质量的方式来影响水稻的安全生产,而且还可能通过田间排水尤其是水稻生长前期的暴雨导致的洪涝来加重稻田生态系统向周边居民井水和其它水域的细菌和大肠菌群的输出量,从而可能影响周边水体质量及人体健康.

(IAA+GA₃+ZR)/ABA比值随着银杏的生长逐渐降低,在处理后期(处理后40～120 d)明显高于CK,表明大气CO₂浓度升高可促进银杏的生长发育.     

Long-term growth at elevated carbon dioxide stimulates methane emission in tropical paddy rice

Recent anthropogenic emissions of key atmospheric trace gases (e.g. CO₂ and CH₄) which absorb infra-red radiation may lead to an increase in mean surface temperatures and potential changes in climate. Although sources of each gas have been evaluated independently, little attention has focused on potential interactions between gases which could influence emission rates. In the current experiment, the effect of enhanced CO₂ (300 μL L^–1 above ambient) and/or air temperature (4 °C above ambient) on methane generation and emission were determined for the irrigated tropical paddy rice system over 3 consecutive field seasons (1995 wet and dry seasons 1996 dry season). For all three seasons, elevated CO₂ concentration resulted in a significant increase in dissolved soil methane relative to the ambient control. Consistent with the observed increases in soil methane, measurements of methane flux per unit surface area during the 1995 wet and 1996 dry seasons also showed a significant increase at elevated carbon dioxide concentration relative to the ambient CO₂ condition (+49 and 60% for each season, respectively). Growth of rice at both increasing CO₂ concentration and air temperature did not result in additional stimulation of either dissolved or emitted methane compared to growth at elevated CO₂ alone. The observed increase in methane emissions were associated with a large, consistent, CO₂-induced stimulation of root growth. Results from this experiment suggest that as atmospheric CO₂ concentration increases, methane emissions from tropical paddy rice could increase above current projections.     

Increased mercury in forest soils under elevated carbon dioxide

Fossil fuel combustion is the primary anthropogenic source of both CO₂ and Hg to the atmosphere. On a global scale, most Hg that enters ecosystems is derived from atmospheric Hg that deposits onto the land surface. Increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO₂ may affect Hg deposition to terrestrial systems and storage in soils through CO₂-mediated changes in plant and soil properties. We show, using free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) experiments, that soil Hg concentrations are almost 30% greater under elevated atmospheric CO₂ in two temperate forests. There were no direct CO₂ effects, however, on litterfall, throughfall or stemflow Hg inputs. Soil Hg was positively correlated with percent soil organic matter (SOM), suggesting that CO₂-mediated changes in SOM have influenced soil Hg concentrations. Through its impacts on SOM, elevated atmospheric CO₂ may increase the Hg storage capacity of soils and modulate the movement of Hg through the biosphere. Such effects of rising CO₂, ones that transcend the typically studied effects on C and nutrient cycling, are an important next phase for research on global environmental change.

Effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on aphid oviposition preference and birch bud exudate phenolics

The effect of atmospheric change on birch aphid ( Euceraphis betulae Koch) oviposition preference was examined and plant characteristics that are possibly responsible for the observed effects were investigated. It was hypothesized that the increasing concentrations of CO₂ and O₃ affect singly or in combination the oviposition of birch aphids via changes in host plant characteristics. Two genotypes of field-growing silver birch ( Betula pendula Roth) trees (clones 4 and 80), which were exposed to doubled ambient concentration of CO₂ and O₃, singly and in combination, in a 3-year open-top chamber experiment, were used in an aphid oviposition preference test. It was found that elevated CO₂, irrespective of ozone concentration, increased the number of aphid eggs laid on clone 4, but not in clone 80. Several flavonoid aglycones were identified from the exudate coating of birch buds. Although elevated CO₂ and O₃ affected these phenolic compounds in clone 4, the effects did not correlate with the observed changes in aphid oviposition. It is suggested that neither bud length, which was not affected by the treatments, nor surface exudate phenolics mediate birch aphid oviposition preference.     

Effects of elevated temperature and carbon dioxide on seed-set and yield of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

It is important to quantify and understand the consequences of elevated temperature and carbon dioxide (CO₂) on reproductive processes and yield to develop suitable agronomic or genetic management for future climates. The objectives of this research work were (a) to quantify the effects of elevated temperature and CO₂ on photosynthesis, pollen production, pollen viability, seed‐set, seed number, seeds per pod, seed size, seed yield and dry matter production of kidney bean and (b) to determine if deleterious effects of high temperature on reproductive processes and yield could be compensated by enhanced photosynthesis at elevated CO₂ levels. Red kidney bean cv. Montcalm was grown in controlled environments at day/night temperatures ranging from 28/18 to 40/30 °C under ambient (350 µmol mol^?1) or elevated (700 µmol mol^?1) CO₂ levels. There were strong negative relations between temperature over a range of 28/18–40/30 °C and seed‐set (slope, ? 6.5% °C^?1) and seed number per pod (? 0.34 °C^?1) under both ambient and elevated CO₂ levels. Exposure to temperature > 28/18 °C also reduced photosynthesis (? 0.3 and ? 0.9 µmol m^?2 s^?1 °C^?1), seed number (? 2.3 and ? 3.3 °C^?1) and seed yield (? 1.1 and ? 1.5 g plant^?1 °C^?1), at both the CO₂ levels (ambient and elevated, respectively). Reduced seed‐set and seed number at high temperatures was primarily owing to decreased pollen production and pollen viability. Elevated CO₂ did not affect seed size but temperature > 31/21 °C linearly reduced seed size by 0.07 g °C^?1. Elevated CO₂ increased photosynthesis and seed yield by approximately 50 and 24%, respectively. There was no beneficial interaction of CO₂ and temperature, and CO₂ enrichment did not offset the negative effects of high temperatures on reproductive processes and yield. In conclusion, even with beneficial effects of CO₂ enrichment, yield losses owing to high temperature (> 34/24 °C) are likely to occur, particularly if high temperatures coincide with sensitive stages of reproductive development.     

Effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide on gas exchange and growth of white clover

Effects of rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations on gas exchange, growth and productivity were investigated on an important grassland species, Trifolium repens L. cv. Blanca. Pure stands of this species were cultivated over an entire growing season in small acrylic greenhouses with an artificial atmosphere of ±367 or ±620 ppm CO₂, respectively. Effects on growth and development were examined in a functional growth analysis, while consequences for gas exchange were determined by photosynthesis and transpiration measurements on canopy level. The stands were regularly clipped for production assessment. Canopies grown at high CO₂ levels showed an average increase in productivity of almost 75%. Growth analysis indicated development of a larger foliage area as the major cause, particularly in the first days of regrowth after cutting. The growth advantage that began in this stage was maintained or bettered during the following weeks. The difference between gas exchange measurements expressed per unit leaf area and per unit ground area suggested that changes in net photosynthesis and respiration did not contribute to the increase in total yield. Transpiration declined under high CO₂ if expressed on a leaf area basis but total canopy transpiration was at least as large as in ambient CO₂ due to the larger leaf area. Water-use efficiency calculations on the summer data indicated a 35% improvement with a doubling of CO₂ concentration.     

Seedling density modifies the growth responses of yellow birch maternal families to elevated carbon dioxide

We studied seedling growth responses to ambient and elevated CO₂ (350 and 700 μL L^?1) of three maternal families of yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis), raised both individually and in high-density stands. Seedlings in competitive, dense stands exhibited markedly lower average CO₂-induced growth enhancements than individually grown plants (16% vs. 49%). Maternal families differed in their growth responses to elevated CO₂. However, differences among families were contingent upon density; families which exhibited the greatest CO₂-induced growth at low density exhibited the least CO₂-responsiveness at high density. These data are discussed in two separate contexts; the reliability of estimates of the CO² fertilization potential of forest species based solely on individually grown plants, and the potential evolutionary consequences of rising CO₂ on regenerating forest tree populations.     

A meta-analysis of leaf gas exchange and nitrogen in trees grown under elevated carbon dioxide

The response of trees to rising atmospheric CO₂ concentration ([CO₂]) is of concern to forest ecologists and global carbon modellers and is the focus of an increasing body of research work. I review studies published up to May 1994, and several unpublished works, which reported at least one of the following: net CO₂ assimilation (A), stomatal conductance (g_s), leaf dark respiration (R_d) leaf nitrogen or specific leaf area (SLA) in woody plants grown at <400 μmol mol^?1 CO₂ or at 600–800 μmol mol^?1 CO₂. The resulting data from 41 species were categorized according to growth conditions (unstressed versus stressed), length of CO₂ exposure, pot size and exposure facility [growth chamber (GC), greenhouse (GH), or open-top chamber (OTC)] and interpreted using meta-analytic methods. Overall, A showed a large and significant increase at elevated [CO₂] but length of CO₂ exposure and the exposure facility were important modifiers of this response. Plants exposed for < 50 d had a significantly greater response, and those from GCs had a significantly lower response than plants from longer exposures or from OTC studies. Negative acclimation of A was significant and general among stressed plants, but in unstressed plants was influenced by length of CO₂ exposure, the exposure facility and/or pot size. Growth at elevated [CO₂] resulted in moderate reductions in gs in unstressed plants, but there was no significant effect of CO₂ on gs in stressed plants. Leaf dark respiration (mass or area basis) was reduced strongly by growth at high [CO₂] > while leaf N was reduced only when expressed on a mass basis. This review is the first meta-analysis of elevated CO₂ studies and provides statistical confirmation of several general responses of trees to elevated [CO₂]. It also highlights important areas of continued uncertainty in our understanding of these responses.     

Root production and mortality under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide

An essential component of an understanding of carbon flux is the quantification of movement through the root carbon pool. Although estimates have been made using radiocarbon, the use of minirhizotrons provides a direct measurement of rates of root birth and death. We have measured root demographic parameters under a semi-natural grassland and for wheat. The grassland was studied along a natural altitudinal gradient in northern England, and similar turf from the site was grown in elevated CO₂ in solardomes. Root biomass was enhanced under elevated CO₂. Root birth and death rates were both increased to a similar extent in elevated CO₂, so that the throughput of carbon was greater than in ambient CO₂, but root half-lives were shorter under elevated CO₂ only under a Juncus/Nardus sward on a peaty gley soil, and not under a Festuca turf on a brown earth soil. In a separate experiment, wheat also responded to elevated CO₂ by increased root production, and there was a marked shift towards surface rooting: root development at a depth of 80–85 cm was both reduced and delayed. In conjunction with published results for trees, these data suggest that the impact of elevated CO₂ will be system-dependent, affecting the spatio-temporal pattern of root growth in some ecosystems and the rate of turnover in others. Turrnover is also sensitive to temperature, soil fertility and other environmental variables, all of which are likely to change in tandem with atmospheric CO₂ concentrations. Differences in turnover and time and location of rhizodeposition may have a large effect on rates of carbon cycling.
