Leaf dynamics and shoot phenology of eleven warm-temperate evergreen broad-leaved trees near their northern limit in central Japan 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Dynamic features of shoot phenology including leaf emergence and leaf fall, and leaf life span for eleven evergreen broad-leaved tree species were investigated in a warm-temperate rain forest in Mount Kiyosumi, central Japan. All species had periodic leaf emergence or flushing pattern, and were classified into two types; single and multiple flush and only one species, Eurya japonica, represented the latter type and the rest had single flush in spring. The single flush type can further be subdivided into two groups according to their duration of shoot growth; short and long flush. Seasonal patterns of leaf fall were categorized into four; unimodal, bimodal, broad unimodal, and multimodal type though they were not fixed pattern. The leaf emergence and leaf fall patterns were correlated for the eleven species, and five phenological types were categorized. Four of them were the single flush types, i.e., short flush of leaf emergence with unimodal leaffall (SSU) type of Castanopsis sieboldii and Quercus salicina, short flush with bimodal leaf fall (SSB) type of Quercus acuta, Machilus thunbergii, Neolitsea sericea, and Cinnamomum japonicum, long flush with bimodal leaffall (SLB) type of Myrsine seguinii, and long flush with broad unimodal leaffall (SLR) type of Symplocos prunifolia, Cleyera japonica, and Illicium anisatum. The multiple flush type is only one species, Eurya japonica, and it had multimodal leaffall pattern (MM type). The phenological pattern varied in relation to leaf life span, leaf size, and tree habit. Leaf life span ranged from 1.1 to 5.8 yr. The short flush species or SSU and SSB types were all canopy or subcanopy trees, and the former had short and the latter had long leaf life spans. The long flush species were all microphyllous small trees, and SLB type had a relatively long leaf life span in understory, SLR type had a long leaf life span in understory or in open habitat and/or forest gap as a pioneer tree. MM type had a long leaf life span and colonizing species in open habitat but they can survive in understory as well. The phenological attributes of evergreen trees were well corresponded to the ecological guild of the tree in both forest structure and successional stage, and were also constrained by phylogenetic groups. 相似文献

Abstract. Question: How do functional types respond to contrasting levels of herbage use in temperate and fertile grasslands? Location: Central France (3°1’E, 45°43’N), 870 m a.s.l. Methods: Community structure and the traits of dominant plant species were evaluated after 12 years of contrasted grazing and mowing regimes in a grazing trial, comparing three levels of herbage use (high, medium and low). Results and Conclusions: Of 22 measured traits (including leaf traits, shoot morphology and composition, phenology), seven were significantly affected by the herbage use treatment. A decline in herbage use reduced individual leaf mass, specific leaf area and shoot digestibility, but increased leaf C and dry matter contents. Plants were taller, produced larger seeds and flowered later under low than high herbage use. Nine plant functional response types were identified by multivariate optimization analysis; they were based on four optimal traits: leaf dry matter content, individual leaf area, mature plant height and time of flowering. In the high‐use plots, two short and early flowering types were co‐dominant, one competitive, grazing‐tolerant and moderately grazing‐avoiding, and one grazing‐avoiding but not ‐tolerant. Low‐use plots were dominated by one type, neither hardly grazing‐avoiding nor grazing‐tolerant, but strongly competitive for light. 相似文献

The main objective of the present work was to examine leaf respiratory responses to dehydration and subsequent recovery in three varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) known to differ in their level of drought tolerance. Under dehydration, both total respiration and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM)-resistant cytochrome (Cyt) pathway respiration by leaf segments decreased significantly compared with well-watered plants. This decrease was more pronounced in the drought-sensitive Sadovo and Prelom genotypes. In contrast, the KCN-resistant SHAM-sensitive alternative (Alt) pathway became increasingly engaged, and accounted for about 80% of the total respiration. In the drought-tolerant Katya variety, increased contribution of the Alt pathway was accompanied by a slight decrease in Cyt pathway activity. Respiration of isolated leaf mitochondria also showed a variety-specific drought response. Mitochondria from drought-sensitive genotypes had low oxidative phosphorylation efficiency after dehydration and rewatering, whereas the drought-tolerant Katya mitochondria showed higher phosphorylation rates. Morphometric analysis of leaf ultrastructure revealed that mitochondria occupied approximately 7% of the cell area in control plants. Under dehydration, in the drought-sensitive varieties this area was reduced to about 2.0%, whereas in Katya it was around 6.0%. The results are discussed in terms of possible mechanisms underlying variety-specific mitochondrial responses to dehydration. 相似文献

Question: What plant properties might define plant functional types (PFTs) for the analysis of global vegetation responses to climate change, and what aspects of the physical environment might be expected to predict the distributions of PFTs? Methods: We review principles to explain the distribution of key plant traits as a function of bioclimatic variables. We focus on those whole‐plant and leaf traits that are commonly used to define biomes and PFTs in global maps and models. Results: Raunkiær's plant life forms (underlying most later classifications) describe different adaptive strategies for surviving low temperature or drought, while satisfying requirements for reproduction and growth. Simple conceptual models and published observations are used to quantify the adaptive significance of leaf size for temperature regulation, leaf consistency for maintaining transpiration under drought, and phenology for the optimization of annual carbon balance. A new compilation of experimental data supports the functional definition of tropical, warm‐temperate, temperate and boreal phanerophytes based on mechanisms for withstanding low temperature extremes. Chilling requirements are less well quantified, but are a necessary adjunct to cold tolerance. Functional traits generally confer both advantages and restrictions; the existence of trade‐offs contributes to the diversity of plants along bioclimatic gradients. Conclusions: Quantitative analysis of plant trait distributions against bioclimatic variables is becoming possible; this opens up new opportunities for PFT classification. A PFT classification based on bioclimatic responses will need to be enhanced by information on traits related to competition, successional dynamics and disturbance. 相似文献

Question: Does grazing by large herbivores affect species composition or community‐wide variation in plant functional traits? Location: Dune grasslands at the Belgian coast. Methods: Plant cover and soil data were collected in 146 plots that were randomly selected at 26 grazed and ungrazed grassland sites. Plant community composition was assessed by Detrended Correspondence Analysis and mean values of plant trait categories were calculated across the plots. Results: Differentiation of plant composition and community‐wide plant trait characteristics was largely determined by grazing, soil acidity and their interaction. In ungrazed situations, a clear floristic distinction appears between acidic (non‐calcareous) and alkaline (calcareous) grasslands. In grazed situations, these floristic differences largely disappeared, indicating that grazing results in a decrease of natural variation in species composition. At higher soil pH, a larger difference in plant community composition and community‐wide plant traits was observed between grazed and ungrazed plots. In ungrazed situations, shifts in plant functional traits along the acidity gradient were observed. Conclusions: Grazing is responsible for shifts in plant community composition, and hence a decrease in plant diversity among grasslands at opposing acidity conditions in coastal dune grasslands. Therefore, care should be taken when introducing grazing as a system approach for nature conservation in dune grasslands as it may eliminate part of the natural variation in plant diversity along existing abiotic gradients. 相似文献

Plants deploy various ecological strategies in response to environmental heterogeneity. In many forest ecosystems, plants have been reported to have notable inter- and intra-specific trait variation, as well as clear phylogenetic signals, indicating that these species possess a degree of phenotypic plasticity to cope with habitat variation in the community. Savanna communities, however, grow in an open canopy structure and exhibit little species diversification, likely as a result of strong environmental stress. In this study, we hypothesized that the phylogenetic signals of savanna species would be weak, the intraspecific trait variation (ITV) would be low, and the contribution of intraspecific variation to total trait variance would be reduced, owing to low species richness, multiple stresses and relatively homogenous community structure. To test these hypotheses, we sampled dominant woody species in a dry-hot savanna in southwestern China, focusing on leaf traits related to adaptability of plants to harsh conditions (year-round intense radiation, low soil fertility and seasonal droughts). We found weak phylogenetic signals in leaf traits and low ITV (at both individual and canopy-layer levels). Intraspecific variation (including leaf-, layer- and individual-scales) contributed little to the total trait variance, whereas interspecific variation and variation in leaf phenology explained substantial variance. Our study suggests that intraspecific trait variation is reduced in savanna community. Furthermore, our findings indicate that classifying species by leaf phenology may help better understand how species coexist under similar habitats with strong stresses. 相似文献

Due to rapidly changing physical and biochemical characteristics of growing leaves, correlations between traits of foliage biochemistry and the performance indices of flush feeding herbivores may vary considerably following relatively minor changes in experimental conditions. We examined the effects of the seasonal and inter-tree variation of a comprehensive array of biochemical compounds on the success of an early season geometrid, Epirrita autumnata, feeding on maturing foliage of mountain birch, Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii. We monitored the concentrations of individual phenolics, sugars, total nitrogen, nitrogen of proteins, and nitrogen of soluble compounds, water and acetone-insoluble residue. Simultaneously we recorded larval consumption, physiological performance, growth, and pupal mass of E. autumnata. We found significant phenological changes in almost all leaf traits measured. In bioassays with half-grown leaves, leaf gallotannin concentrations showed a nonlinear effect: in trees with high foliar gallotannin concentrations (over 10 mg g−1), physiological performance was strongly reduced by high gallotannin concentrations. In trees with lower gallotannin concentrations, on the other hand, larval growth was reduced by soluble proanthocyanidins, not gallotannins. Differences between high and low gallotannin trees largely depended on phenology, i.e., on the age of leaves. However, not all the differences in leaf traits between late (with high gallotannin concentrations at the time of the bioassay) and early flushing trees disappeared with leaf maturation, indicating that there is also phenology-independent variance in the tree population. In the full-grown leaves of all the study trees, low concentrations of water and of nitrogen of proteins (but not nitrogen of soluble compounds) were the main factors reducing pupal masses of E. autumnata, while neither gallotannin nor proanthocyanidins now played a significant role. The observed change in the factors underlying leaf quality (from gallotannins and proanthocyanidins to nitrogen and water) relate to the activity of the shikimate pathway and the formation of cell walls: gallotannins and proanthocyanidins are both produced in the pathway, and these tannins are assumed to contribute – via binding into cell walls – to tough and durable cell walls. Interestingly, low quality of leaves did not automatically translate into low foliar consumption (i.e., benefits to the tree). On the trees with young, high gallotannin leaves, larvae actually increased consumption on low quality foliage. In the group of trees with slightly more developed, low gallotannin leaves, the quality of leaves did not clearly modify amounts consumed. In full-grown leaves, low leaf quality strongly reduced leaf consumption. These results emphasize the strong influence of tree phenology on the relationships between biochemical compounds and the herbivore. Received: 30 November 1998 / Accepted: 1 March 1999 相似文献

Question: Current climate changes in the Alaskan Arctic, which are characterized by increases in temperature and length of growing season, could alter vegetation structure, especially through increases in shrub cover or the movement of treeline. These changes in vegetation structure have consequences for the climate system. What is the relationship between structural complexity and partitioning of surface energy along a gradient from tundra through shrub tundra to closed canopy forest? Location: Arctic tundra‐boreal forest transition in the Alaskan Arctic. Methods: Along this gradient of increasing canopy complexity, we measured key vegetation characteristics, including community composition, biomass, cover, height, leaf area index and stem area index. We relate these vegetation characteristics to albedo and the partitioning of net radiation into ground, latent, and sensible heating fluxes. Results: Canopy complexity increased along the sequence from tundra to forest due to the addition of new plant functional types. This led to non‐linear changes in biomass, cover, and height in the understory. The increased canopy complexity resulted in reduced ground heat fluxes, relatively conserved latent heat fluxes and increased sensible heat fluxes. The localized warming associated with increased sensible heating over more complex canopies may amplify regional warming, causing further vegetation change in the Alaskan Arctic. 相似文献

Ground-level ozone (O3) and drought are two key factors limiting plant growth. O3 can enter into the plant tissue through the stomata, then causing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which inspires programmed cell death. Drought usually induces the accumulation of ROS due to damage to antioxidant systems of plants. The effects of two kinds of stress on plants are similar due to the accumulation of ROS, resulting in reduced photosynthesis rate and physiological metabolism, eventually decreased plant growth and biomass. Nevertheless, O3 and drought interacts synergistically to accumulate detrimental effects or antagonistically to reduce harmful effects. Actually, it is complex interactive process between O3 and drought. On the one hand, O3 triggers stomatal sluggishness or even dysfunction, which exacerbates water transpiration of leaves, water loss from plants and further O3 phytotoxicity. On the other hand, drought induces stomatal closure, and thus protecting plants against the O3 influx and evaporation of water. However, prolonged drought could limit the uptake of CO2 and thus result in reduced plant growth. The response of plants to both O3 and drought not only depends on the occurring sequence and duration of any factor but also rely on the difference in physiological metabolism of the plant itself. The interactive effects of O3 and drought on stomatal characteristics, photosynthetic carbon mechanism, antioxidant response and growth development are reviewed in this paper and the aspects to be further studied are also suggested. 相似文献

Gall-forming insects usually have very restricted host ranges, but plant traits affecting patterns of host use have rarely been examined. The sawfly Phyllocolpa sp. (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) forms leaf-roll galls on three of seven Salix (Salicaceae) species that occur together on riverbanks in central Japan. We have attempted to explain this host-use pattern by invoking three plant traits: synchrony of leaf flush with the oviposition period of the sawfly, intrinsic leaf quality as a potential larval food, and leaf morphology. Two Salix species frequently used by the sawfly, Salix eriocarpa and Salix pierotii, had similar leaf traits suitable for larval survival. The third species, Salix serissaefolia, was used relatively less often and the sawfly frequently stopped laying eggs on the plant during oviposition, suggesting ovipositional selection. S. serissaefolia had the smallest leaves, and survival of sawfly larvae was lower on S. serissaefolia than on S. eriocarpa and S. pierotii, because of gall destruction, by other herbivorous insects, and leaf-size restrictions. Among the four unused species, Salix chaenomeloides had a late leaf-flush phenology, Salix gracilistyla had inferior leaf quality, and Salix gilgiana had linear leaves; these seemed to be critical factors for non-use. Salix subfragilis was also unused, but the reason for this could not be explained by the three leaf traits studied. 相似文献

Question: What changes in species composition and cover have occurred in chaparral as a function of fire history across an ecoregion? Location: San Diego County, California, USA. Methods: Stands in which 40 mid‐elevation chaparral vegetation plots (each 400 m2 in area) were located in the 1930s were resurveyed in 2001. We stratified the stands into Infrequently versus Frequently burned (0–1 versus 2 or more fires recorded in the 91‐yr period), and Immature versus Mature (ã31 yr versus >31 yr since last fire), resulting in four groups. Ten stands were randomly selected from each of these groups for survey. Results: There were no major shifts in life form composition, e.g., live oak trees were not invading chaparral that had experienced little or no fire, nor were subshrubs or herbaceous species replacing shrubs in areas that had experienced more frequent fires. However, there was a notable increase in the frequency of the subshrub Eriogonum fasciculatum across all fire history groups. In the mature stands with infrequent fire, average cover of resprouting shrubs increased (from 72 to 91%) and cover of obligate seeding shrubs (species with fire‐cued germination) decreased (from 21 to 6%) significantly. Mature stands with frequent fire showed a significant decrease in resprouter cover (from 87 to 80%) and increase in obligate seeders (from 10 to 16%). Conclusions: While the tremendous changes in land use in southern California have been predicted to cause shifts in chaparral composition, these shifts are difficult to detect because species longevity and fire cycles are on the order of decades to a century. In this study, the expected trends could only be detected in groups that were mature at the time of the second survey. 相似文献

A sensitivity factor that quantifies the responsiveness of stomata to xylem sap abscisic acid concentration ([ABA]xyl) is described, using the relation between [ABA]xyl and maximum leaf conductance (gmax). Plotting gmax against this factor results in a common linear relationship for woody and herbaceous species from boreal to (semi-) arid climates. The global distribution of the sensitivity factor reveals an unexpected pattern which is inverse to rainfall, i.e., plants in humid climates respond more sensitively to ABA than plants in arid areas. The implications for the response of natural vegetation and consequences for agriculture are discussed. 相似文献

为探究重点保护植物在热带地区的生态适应策略,本研究以肉豆蔻科9种木本植物（5种国家重点保护植物和4种非国家重点保护植物）为研究对象,测定了它们的叶片形态、光合、养分含量及养分重吸收率等22个性状。结果显示：与非重点保护植物相比,重点保护植物的叶片干物质含量、叶片密度和碳含量更低,但叶片更厚、单位叶面积光合速率更高;比叶重、叶脉密度、气孔导度、元素含量、养分重吸收率等多个性状在重点和非重点保护植物间差异不显著。氮含量与氮重吸收率显著正相关。镁含量与比叶重在重点保护植物间显著负相关,镁重吸收率与叶脉密度在重点保护与非重点保护植物间均显著负相关。主成分分析结果表明,对第1主成分贡献较大的性状主要是叶片密度、光合氮利用效率和叶片干物质含量;对第2主成分贡献较大的性状主要是N、P含量和N : P比值。肉豆蔻科植物叶片的N : P比值低于14,说明其生长主要是受N限制而不是P限制。研究结果表明,基于功能性状的研究可以揭示重点保护植物和非重点保护植物间生态适应策略的差异。因此,未来需加强重点和非重点保护植物的生理生态学比较研究。 相似文献
