光照和氮素对喜旱莲子草形态特征和生物量分配的影响

研究了两个光照梯度和3个土壤氮素水平交互作用对喜旱莲子草(Alternan thera philoxeroides(Mart.)Griseb.)形态特征和生物量分配的影响。结果表明,全光照促进喜旱莲子草总生物量的积累,但在遮荫条件下,喜旱莲子草可以通过增加株高、光合叶面积和改变生物量分配来适应弱光生境。土壤中氮素含量对喜旱莲子草生长有明显影响,总生物量、株高、叶面积、茎生物量比和叶生物量比等随土壤氮素水平增加而增加。光照和氮素的交互作用对总生物量、根生物量比、茎生物量比和叶生物量比也有显著影响。随着氮素水平的增高,遮荫和高光照处理下喜旱莲子草的叶面积、总生物量和叶生物量比之间的差异减小,而株高和根生物量比之间的差异增大。此外,光照强度对茎生物量比的影响具有明显的氮素浓度依赖性,低氮条件下,茎生物量比在高光照处理下显著高于遮荫处理,而在中氮条件下,遮荫处理却显著高于高光照处理,且在高氮处理下其差异进一步加大。这些结果表明喜旱莲子草在高氮素环境下能够通过形态可塑性和生物量分配模式的改变来适应弱光环境所带来的不利影响。研究结果不但可为研究喜旱莲子草对异质生境的入侵机制提供资料,也可为进一步研究喜旱莲子草的入侵和扩散与农业等生态系统中土壤氮素残留的关系提供参考。       

不同光强下高锰对黄瓜光合作用特性的影响

采用营养液培养的方法,研究了不同光强下高锰对黄瓜植株生长、叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数和光合作用的影响.结果表明,高锰处理抑制了黄瓜植株的生长,与弱光处理相比强光下抑制幅度更加显著.强光下,高锰处理显著降低叶绿素含量,但降低光强却增加其含量.强光下,高锰处理显著降低原初光能转换效率(F_v/F_m)、光合电子传递量子效率(ΦPSII)和光化学猝灭系数(qP);弱光下,高锰处理对F_v/F_m和qP无显著影响.高锰处理使净光合速率(P_n)和气孔导度(G_s)下降.尤其是在强光下下降幅度更大.高锰处理使细胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)在强光下升高,而在弱光下则下降.与C_i相反,高锰处理使气孔限制值(L_s)在强光下下降,而在弱光下上升.因此,强光下高锰胁迫使净光合速率下降可能是由非气孔限制引起的,而弱光下高锰处理使净光合速率下降可能是由气孔因子限制引起的.     

Effects of waterlogging and increased soil nutrients on growth and reproduction of Polygonum hydropiper in the hydro-fluctuation belt of the Three Gorges Reservoir Region

水淹和土壤养分是影响三峡库区消落带植物生长的主要环境因子。消落带不同高程的植物长期经历不同的淹水强度和土壤养分条件。该研究假设同一物种来自于消落带不同高程的植株可能产生性状分化, 从而对根部淹水和土壤养分变化具有不同的生长和繁殖响应策略。为了验证以上假设, 选取在三峡库区消落带高低高程均广泛分布的物种水蓼(Polygonum hydropiper)为研究对象, 采集自然种群的种子。在温室同质园条件下, 研究了根部水淹和土壤养分提升对高低高程水蓼植株生长和繁殖特性的影响。研究结果表明根部水淹显著或趋于显著降低了水蓼植株功能叶的叶长、叶宽、总分枝数、叶生物量、花生物量和总生物量; 低养分处理显著或趋于显著降低了水蓼植株的总节数、总分枝数、根生物量、花生物量和总生物量, 表明根部水淹和低土壤养分对水蓼的生长和繁殖能力具有抑制作用。同时, 根部水淹和土壤养分的交互作用显著影响植株的根生物量, 表明根部水淹条件下高土壤养分更有利于植株根生物量的积累。高高程植株的根生物量和叶生物量显著或趋于显著高于低高程植株, 而低高程植株的始花时间早于高高程植株, 且繁殖分配也显著高于高高程植株, 表明高低高程水蓼植株对资源的分配策略不同。该研究结果表明水蓼的生长和繁殖特性受根部水淹和土壤养分共同限制, 但对根部水淹条件下高土壤养分生境具有较好的适应性; 同时, 低高程植株可以通过调整其生长和繁殖特性以提高对所处生境胁迫的适应性。     

紫花曼陀罗幼苗中紫色异细胞分布特征及其形态建成影响条件的初步研究

应用植物显微技术观察了幼苗期紫花曼陀罗（Datura stramonium L.var.tatula Torrey）中紫色异细胞的分布及不同温度与光照下培养的紫花曼陀罗幼苗茎中紫色异细胞的形态和分布差异。结果：（1）紫花曼陀罗中紫色异细胞分布在茎与叶地上器官中,根中则不存在。（2）强光和高温下培养的紫花曼陀罗幼苗茎中紫色异细胞的颜色明显加深、透明度下降,细胞间隙减小;而弱光和低温下其形态特征表现与上述相反。（3）强光处理下紫色异细胞横切面积、纵切长度以及数量均显著增加（P<0.05）;弱光下该异细胞横切面积、纵切长度均显著减少（P<0.05）,但数量显著增加（P<0.05）。（4）高温处理下紫色异细胞横切面积、纵切长度以及数量均显著增加（P<0.05）;低温下该异细胞仅数量显著增加（P<0.05）,其横切面积、纵切长度虽减小但变化差异性不显著（P<0.05）。结论：紫花曼陀罗中紫色异细胞的形态建成受光照和温度影响,曼陀罗（Datura stramonium L.）变种紫花曼陀罗（D.stramonium L.var.tatula Torrey）各营养器官中进化出紫色异细胞对其更好地适应光照和温度等生态环境变化有积极作用。

Cropping practices modulate the impact of glyphosate on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and rhizosphere bacteria in agroecosystems of the semiarid prairie

A growing body of evidence obtained from studies performed under controlled conditions suggests that glyphosate use can modify microbial community assemblages. However, few studies have examined the influence of glyphosate in agroecosystems. We examined 4 wheat-based production systems typical of the Canadian prairie over 2 years to answer the following question: Does preseeding of glyphosate impact soil rhizosphere microorganisms? If so, do cropping practices influence this impact? Glyphosate caused a shift in the species dominating the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community in the rhizosphere, possibly through the modification of host plant physiology. Glyphosate stimulated rhizobacterial growth while having no influence on saprotrophic fungi, suggesting a greater abundance of glyphosate-tolerant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in bacteria than in fungi. Glyphosate stimulated rhizosphere bacteria in pea but not in urea-fertilized durum wheat, which is consistent with inhibition of EPSPS tolerance to residual glyphosate through high ammonium levels. Mitigation of the effects of glyphosate on rhizosphere bacteria through tillage suggests a reduction in residual glyphosate activity through increased adsorption to soil binding sites upon soil mixing. The influence of glyphosate on Gram-negative bacteria was mitigated under drought conditions in 2007. Our experiment suggests that interactions between soil fertility, tillage, and cropping practices shape the influence of glyphosate use on rhizosphere microorganisms.     

光强及氮浓度对丝状绿藻双星藻生长及生化组成的影响

[背景]环境因子和营养因子对微藻的生长和生化组成都有显著的影响,其中光强和氮浓度是最重要的两个条件。[目的]研究不同光强和初始氮浓度对丝状绿藻-双星藻(Zygnema sp.)生长及生化组成的影响。[方法]采用改良的BBM培养基,设置了两组光强[100μmol/(m²·s)和300μmol/(m²·s)]和6种初始氮浓度(3、6、9、12、15和18 mmol/L)在柱状光生物反应器中对双星藻进行培养。[结果]在高光强条件下[300μmol/(m²·s)],12 mmol/L初始氮浓度最有利于双星藻生物质的积累,其最高生物量可以达到6.60 g/L,而初始低氮浓度(3 mmol/L)则促进了油脂和脂肪酸的积累,油脂最高含量占干重的32.13%,且脂肪酸组成主要包括棕榈酸(C_16:0)、油酸(C_18:1)、亚油酸(C_18:2)和亚麻酸(C_18:3),其中油酸含量最高达到总脂肪酸含量的55.01%;在低光强条件下[100μmol/(m     

Environmental stress during early development of kelp sporophytes (Laminaria saccharina): how long do effects persist?

Results of previous studies suggested that deleterious effects of environmental stress on young kelp sporophytes might persist for weeks or even months after optimal conditions are resumed. Such long-lasting effects could influence subsequent growth and survival of wild populations or aquacultural crops subjected to stressful conditions soon after germination. To determine how long stress effects persist, microscopic sporophytes of Laminaria saccharina were subjected to control or stress treatments (low light, low nutrients, or high temperature) for 7 d, then returned to optimal conditions. During the treatment period, stressed plants showed significantly reduced growth rates compared to control plants. However, all treatment groups showed similar high growth rates during the recovery period immediately following resumption of optimal conditions. Plants from the four treatment groups were grown to macroscopic size under optimal conditions, then subjected to control or stress treatments for several weeks. Under both optimal and suboptimal conditions, plants from the three original stress groups had growth rates similar to those of plants from the original control group. Overall, the results indicate that young macroalgae recover rapidly from environmental stress and that no effects persist into later stages. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effects of simulated herbivory and resource availability on the invasive plant, Alternanthera philoxeroides in different habitats

In biological control programs, the insect natural enemy’s ability to suppress the plant invader may be affected by abiotic factors, such as resource availability, that can influence plant growth and reproduction. Understanding plant tolerance to herbivory under different environmental conditions will help to improve biocontrol efficacy. The invasive alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) has been successfully controlled by natural enemies in many aquatic habitats but not in terrestrial environments worldwide. This study examined the effects of different levels of simulated leaf herbivory on the growth of alligator weed at two levels of fertilization and three levels of soil moisture (aquatic, semi-aquatic, and terrestrial habitats). Increasing levels of simulated (manual) defoliation generally caused decreases in total biomass in all habitats. However, the plant appeared to respond differently to high levels of herbivory in the three habitats. Terrestrial plants showed the highest below–above ground mass ratio (R/S), indicating the plant is more tolerant to herbivory in terrestrial habitats than in aquatic habitats. The unfertilized treatment exhibited greater tolerance than the fertilized treatment in the terrestrial habitat at the first stage of this experiment (day 15), but fertilizer appears not to have influenced tolerance at the middle and last stages of the experiment. No such difference was found in semi-aquatic and aquatic habitats. These findings suggest that plant tolerance is affected by habitats and soil nutrients and this relationship could influence the biological control outcome. Plant compensatory response to herbivory under different environmental conditions should, therefore, be carefully considered when planning to use biological control in management programs against invasive plants.     

The effect of deep placement and surface application of nitrogen fertilizers at different light intensities on growth and yield of wetland rice

Summary Lowland rice (RD 3) was cultivated in containers of clay soil submerged with 5 cm water under controlled conditions in the phytotron. Deep placement of urea supergranules 5 cm in the soil significantly enhanced both plant growth and fertilizer efficiency when the plants were cultivated under high light intensity (70 Wm^–2). At the highest urea level grain yield increased 119% above the control level, while growth and fertilizer efficiency was not as high when deep placement of calcium nitrate was used.The application of urea prills and calcium nitrate (18.4g Nm^–2) in two split doses on the soil surface increased grain yield as much as 91% above the control level. At the lower nitrogen concentration (9.2 g N m^–2), the urea prills were more efficient than calcium nitrate as indicated by the grain yield. The height of those plants fertilized by surface application was affected by the concentration and not the type of fertilizer. The number of tillers, however, was significantly higher on urea fertilized plants.When the rice plants were cultivated under low light intensity 930 Wm^–2), neither the nitrogen fertilizers nor the method of application had a significant effect on growth and yield.     

Preference and performance of a willow-feeding leaf beetle: soil nutrient and flooding effects on host quality

The distribution and abundance of herbivores on plants growing under different environmental conditions may depend upon preference and/or performance. Soil nutrients and water availability are key determinants of herbivore distribution, as both influence plant growth and tissue quality. However, the effects of water on plant quality may depend upon the availability of nutrients and vice versa. Surprisingly few studies have examined the interactions between the two. We investigated the effects of soil nutrient and water availability on (1) the growth and chemistry of the silky willow (Salix sericea Marshall), and (2) the preference and performance of the imported willow leaf beetle (Plagiodera versicolora Laichartig). We conducted two common garden experiments using a similar 2x2 fully factorial design with two levels of soil nutrients (low, high) and two levels of water availability (field capacity, flooded). In the first experiment (larval performance), larval development time and pupal weight were not influenced by nutrient or water availability to the plant. This occurred despite the fact that plants in the high nutrient treatments had higher protein concentration and lower foliar concentrations of the phenolic glycoside 2'-cinnamoylsalicortin. In the second experiment (adult preference), we caged four plants (one from each treatment) and released beetles into cages. We found that plant growth and leaf protein depended upon the interaction between nutrient and water availability. Plant growth was greatest in the high nutrient-field capacity treatment and leaf protein was greatest in the high nutrient-flooded treatment. In contrast, adults settled and oviposited preferentially on the high nutrient treatment under flooded conditions, but we found no evidence of interactions between nutrients and water on preference. Thus, at least under flooded conditions nutrients affect adult preference. We also found that foliar protein was correlated positively with adult oviposition preference and per capita egg production. Our results, then, suggest that soil nutrients can influence adult preference, and that adults choose high-quality hosts (high protein) that promote egg production.     

北方典型沼泽湿地高低土壤水分下植物群落特征

北方沼泽湿地在水源供给、缓解水土流失、遏制草地沙化等方面具有重要作用,明确其植物群落物种组成和多样性特征对提升其生态系统服务功能具有重要意义。目前,在北方地区开展大尺度湿地植被调查的研究仍相对较少。土壤水分是驱动植物群落发展的主导环境因素之一,为了解高低土壤水分背景下湿地植物群落特征差异及关键驱动要素,对我国7个北方典型沼泽湿地的植物群落物种组成及多样性特征进行了调查,分析了植物群落物种组成及多样性特征与环境因子的关系,以及沼泽湿地植物群落内克隆植物的分布特征。研究结果发现不同沼泽湿地的植物群落物种组成和多样性差异显著,但无明显的地带性分布规律,物种分布呈现区域性。群落物种多样性受降水、温度、土壤养分等多种环境因素的共同影响。沼泽湿地高低土壤水分背景下植物群落的物种组成和多样性差异显著,低土壤水分下植物群落物种多样性指数显著高于高土壤水分下植物群落。低土壤水分下物种多样性主要受降水和总氮影响,而高土壤水分下物种多样性主要受温度和总磷的影响。高土壤水分下克隆植物物种数和盖度在沼泽湿地植物中占有较高的比例,表明克隆植物比非克隆植物更适应高土壤水分环境。研究结果表明了7个沼泽湿地植被的区域性...     

Arbuscular mycorrhizas modify plant responses to soil zinc addition

Zinc deficiency is one of the most commonly reported plant and human nutrient deficiencies worldwide. Conversely, Zn is also a common environmental contaminant, significantly reducing plant growth. These contrasting effects of Zn on plant growth and nutrition have been the focus of a considerable number of studies; however, most studies focus on plant responses to soil Zn concentration under either deficient or toxic concentrations, but not both. The formation of arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) can increase plant Zn uptake under low soil Zn concentrations, and on the other hand, ‘protect’ plants against excessive Zn accumulation under high soil Zn conditions. Here we report the findings of an experiment in which we studied the response of AM formed by tomatoes under low, medium and high soil Zn conditions. To control for the formation of AM in this study we used a mycorrhiza defective tomato mutant and its mycorrhizal wildtype progenitor. While mycorrhizal colonization was not significantly impacted by soil Zn addition, the growth of plants and tissue Zn concentrations were. Together these data highlight the complex interactions between AM and Zn, and the utility of a genotypic approach for studying AM in this context.     

Recovery of15N-labelled fertilizer by Coastal bermudagrass in lignite minesoil

Minesoils developed from lignite surface mining in Texas are nutrient-poor and have a high N retention capacity. A major concern of landowners and soil conservationists is the response of Coastal bermudagrass to the application of low rates of ammonium-N fertilizer on these nutrient-poor minesoils. A glasshouse study, using¹⁵N-labelled ammonium sulfate fertilizer and lignite minesoil, was conducted to measure Coastal bermudagrass biomass production and fertilizer recovery during establishment in response to clipping at 2, 4, and 8 week intervals. At N rates of 0, 40, and 80 kg N ha^–1,increases in N fertilization increased Coastal bermudagrass aboveground biomass 5-fold, but showed only small increases in belowground biomass. Recovery of ammonium-N fertilizer ranged from 54 to 63%. Roots contained approximately the same N content across all fertilizer rates suggesting that young, estabilishing, Coatal bermudagrass roots reserve N until their N requirement is met. As more N is obtained above that which was needed to maintain roots, then additional N taken up by the plant was transported to aboveground plant parts for growth. Frequent clipping intensified N transport to aboveground tissues. Reduced amounts of N were contained in roots after clipping due to reductions in root growth, biomass, and resource demand. Fertilization of Coastal bermudagrass at low N rates with different N fertilizer forms influenced the distribution of N in the plant and affected N recovery by different parts of the plant.     

Time and substrate dependent exudation of carboxylates by Lupinus albus L. and Brassica napus L.

Root exudates influence significantly physical, chemical and biological characteristics of rhizosphere soil. Their qualitative and quantitative composition is affected by environmental factors such as pH, soil type, oxygen status, light intensity, soil temperature, plant growth, nutrient availability and microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of growth substrate and plant age on the release of carboxylates from Lupinus albus L. and Brassica napus L.Both plant species were studied in continuously percolated microcosms filled with either sand, soil or sand + soil (1:1) mixture. Soil solution was collected every week at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days after planting (DAP). Carboxylate concentrations were determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography - electrospray ionization - time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-TOFMS).Oxalate, citrate, succinate, malate and maleate were detected in soil solutions of both plant species. Their concentrations were correlated with the physiological status of the plant and the growth substrate. Oxalate was the predominant carboxylate detected within the soil solution of B. napus plants while oxalate and citrate were the predominant ones found in the soil solutions of L. albus plants.The sampling determination of carboxylates released by plant roots with continuous percolation systems seems to be promising as it is a non-destructive method and allows sampling and determination of soluble low molecular weight organic compounds derived from root exudation as well as the concentration of soluble nutrients, which both might reflect the nutritional status of plants.

Influence of abiotic stress signals on secondary metabolites in plants

Plant secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavors, and industrially important biochemicals. Accumulation of such metabolites often occurs in plants subjected to stresses including various elicitors or signal molecules. Secondary metabolites play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions. Environmental factors viz. temperature, humidity, light intensity, the supply of water, minerals, and CO₂ influence the growth of a plant and secondary metabolite production. Drought, high salinity, and freezing temperatures are environmental conditions that cause adverse effects on the growth of plants and the productivity of crops. Plant cell culture technologies have been effective tools for both studying and producing plant secondary metabolites under in vitro conditions and for plant improvement. This brief review summarizes the influence of different abiotic factors include salt, drought, light, heavy metals, frost etc. on secondary metabolites in plants. The focus of the present review is the influence of abiotic factors on secondary metabolite production and some of important plant pharmaceuticals. Also, we describe the results of in vitro cultures and production of some important secondary metabolites obtained in our laboratory.     

大豆微核心种质对草甘膦的耐受性鉴定

以萌发初期大豆弯曲的子叶节为靶点,利用草甘膦(Roundup)点施鉴定法,分析了221份大豆微核心种质的草甘膦耐受性及其与抗草甘膦转CP4-EPSPS基因大豆AG5601的差异,结果表明,草甘膦对不同大豆种质的抑制程度与点施的草甘膦浓度呈正相关,Roundup稀释浓度为1/1000、1/10000时,草甘膦对大豆生长几乎无影响;Roundup稀释浓度为1/10时,草甘膦显著抑制大豆生长,导致植株死亡;Roundup稀释浓度为1/100时,不同大豆种质对草甘膦耐受性差异显著,并鉴定出对草甘膦具有较好耐受性的种质10份。虽然大豆微核心种质对草甘膦的耐受程度远远低于AG5601,但不同大豆种质对草甘膦耐受性存在显著差异,这为利用转基因和杂交转育技术培育抗草甘膦转基因大豆的受体或轮回亲本的选择提供了理论依据。     

Effects of glyphosate on interspecific competition between Solidago canadensis and Imperata cylindrica

Aims The extensive use of herbicide to control invasive plants would change the relationship between alien and neighboring plants. In order to provide data for rational use of herbicide and a theoretical reference for further studies on the ecological effects of glyphosate, we explored the variation of the relationship between an invasive plant Solidago canadensis and a native plant Imperata cylindrica when they were sprayed glyphosate.
Methods A replacement series experiment was conducted from June to August 2016 in Wetland Ecosystem Research Station of Hangzhou Bay, State Forestry Administration, to examine the effects of glyphosate at seven concentration levels (0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8 mL·L^-1) on the growth and interspecific competition of S. canadensis and I. cylindrica.
Important findings (1) Glyphosate treatment significantly inhibited the growth of S. canadensis and I. cylindrica (p < 0.05). During the test, cumulative growth of height and leaf number of S. canadensis were apparently reduced with the increase of glyphosate concentration, but the leaf number of S. canadensis treated with 0.3- 1.5 mL·L^-1 glyphosate was re-growing with time, while the one treated with 1.8 mL·L^-1 was mostly dead. The withering rate of tiller and green leaf of I. cylindrica also significantly increased with the increase of glyphosate concentration, and the growth indices of this plant treated with 0.3-0.6 mL·L^-1 were also re-growing with time. (2) Glyphosate treatment significantly affected interspecific competition (p < 0.05), which diminished as the glyphosate concentration increased. (3) Interspecific competition has significant influence on the biomass allocation of S. canadensis (p < 0.05). When facing competition, S. canadensis would allocate more organic matter to root and thus increase the ratio of root to shoot. Competition only inhibited the tiller number and total biomass of I. cylindrica, but insignificantly affected its ratio of root to shoot. (4) The interaction between glyphosate treatment and S. canadensis-I. cylindrica interspecific relationship also significantly influenced the biomass of S. canadensis and I. cylindrica (p < 0.05), but insignificantly affected the root/shoot ratio of two plants. Different plants have different tolerance to glyphosate stress. Compared with native plant I. cylindrica, S. canadensis has stronger tolerance to glyphosate. Low-concentration glyphosate could decrease the competitive intensity between S. canadensis and I. cylindrica, which may disturb the structure and dynamics of plant communities.     

光照和水分对白藤幼苗生长特性的影响路径关系研究

该研究以2年生白藤实生苗为研究对象,通过控制试验,设置4个光强梯度——S0(对照,全光照)、S1(75%~80%全光照)、S2(45%~50%全光照)、S3(20%~25%全光照)和3个水分梯度——W0(对照,RSWC85%)、W1(中度干旱,RSWC55%)、W2(重度干旱,RSWC25%),定期测定幼苗生长特性(株高、地径、叶片数),叶片光合能力[净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)、气孔导度(Gs)]及吸收能力(根、茎、叶生物量),并利用结构方程模型进行路径分析,探讨光照和水分对白藤幼苗生长特性影响过程,为白藤育苗及资源恢复提供理论支撑。结果显示:(1)随着光照强度的降低,幼苗生长特性与吸收能力、光合能力表现出一致的变化趋势,即先增加后减少;在45%~50%光强条件下,幼苗株高、地径、叶片数,根、茎、叶和总生物量及叶片Pn、Gs、Tr和Ls均达最大值。(2)随着土壤含水量降低,幼苗株高、地径及茎和叶生物量均逐渐减少,而根、根冠比呈先增加后减少的趋势;光合能力方面的Pn、Ci、Tr比对照分别显著降低23.65%、20.61%和25.40%(P<0.05),Gs和WUE与对照差异不显著(P>0.05),Ls比对照显著升高170.00%(P<0.05)。(3)结构方程模型分析表明,光照主要通过影响幼苗叶片的光合能力,水分主要通过影响根系生物量来实现影响幼苗生长特性的作用。研究表明,SEM模型能有效对影响白藤幼苗生长的环境因子进行分析,定量解释环境因子影响的路径过程,光照和水分通过光合能力和吸收能力传递对生长特性的影响,且光照因子影响力大于水分因子,其路径系数分别为0.89和0.56;在白藤幼苗生长特性指标中,地径标准因子载荷为0.85,能够有效反映白藤幼苗生长特性;白藤幼苗培育在适度遮阴(45%~50%)和正常供水(RSWC85%)环境下生长最好。
