干旱生境中接种丛枝菌根真菌对三叶鬼针草

为阐明丛枝菌根真菌对石灰岩地区适生植物三叶鬼针草(Bidens pilosa L.)光合作用的影响,设置正常浇水(A)、中度干旱胁迫(B)和重度干旱胁迫(C)3个水分处理梯度,比较了不同水分处理条件下接种丛枝菌根真菌Glomus mosseae和未接种三叶鬼针草之间净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、胞间CO2浓度、羧化效率、水分利用效率等特征的差异.结果表明,水分胁迫显著降低三叶鬼针草的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率.胞间CO2浓度在处理的前期(7d)因干旱胁迫而降低,在后期随土壤含水量的降低而升高;水分利用效率则是中度胁迫的植株、正常浇水处理植株、重度胁迫植株依次降低.在正常浇水条件下接种G. mosseae 对三叶鬼针草光合参数没有产生显著性影响;在中度胁迫条件下,接种植株较未接种植株在水分处理的前28d有更高的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率;在重度胁迫条件下,虽然净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率接种植株高于未接种植株,但是二者并不显著.研究认为,干旱胁迫对三叶鬼针草光合作用的影响在水分处理的前期表现为气孔因素制约,在后期则主要是非气孔因素的影响;在正常浇水条件下接种G. mosseae 对三叶鬼针草的光合作用没有显著性影响,在干旱胁迫条件下,丛枝菌根真菌通过改善三叶鬼针草气孔导度和羧化效率等减弱干旱胁迫对植株的伤害,但是这种保护作用因为土壤水分的严重匮乏以及土壤干旱的时间延长而受到限制.     

七种热带雨林树苗叶片气孔特征及其可塑性对不同光照强度的响应

对生长在荫棚3种不同光照条件下和全自然光下的热带雨林4个冠层种(望天树、绒毛番龙眼、团花、红厚壳)和3个中层种(玉蕊、藤黄、滇南风吹楠)树苗叶片气孔特征以及它们的可塑性进行了研究、结果表明,这些植物的气孔全部着生在远轴面．7种植物中,玉蕊和绒毛番龙眼的气孔密度较大,滇南红厚壳和团花的保卫细胞最长．随光强的增大,气孔密度和气孔指数增大,单位叶气孔数在低光强下较大．除团花外,其它植物叶片气孔导度在50％光强处最大,而光强对保卫细胞的长度影响不显著．相关分析表明,气孔密度与植物单位叶的面积呈负相关。而与气孔导度的相关性不显著、尽管两种不同生活型植物气孔指数和单位叶气孔数在不同光强下的可塑性差异较小,但冠层树种气孔密度和气孔导度的可塑性显著高于中层树种．     

黄土高原森林草原区6种植物光合特性研究

 对黄土高原森林草原区6种不同植物的生理生态学特性进行了一个生长季的野外观测。测定了2002年生长季早、中、晚期植物叶片的光合、蒸腾速率及相应的微气象因子和土壤水分的含量。在此基础上,采用机理性生理生态学模型对黄土高原森林草原区6种植物净光合速率和气孔导度与环境因子的关系进行了分析,净光合速率模型和气孔导度模型分别能够解释57%～79% 和40%～59% 生长季中净光合速率和气孔导度的日变化。在此基础上根据拟合得到的参数计算了典型7月份天气的净光合速率的日变化。模拟的结果表明：沙棘(Hippophae rhamnoides L. subsp. sinensis Rousi)的生物化学光合能力最强,茵陈蒿（Artemisia capillaris）的光呼吸速率最低,这两种植物的净光合速率高于其它植物种。刺槐（Robinia pseudoacacia）、铁杆蒿 (Artemisia gmelinii)、茵陈蒿和沙棘在午后出现的净光合速率下降主要是由气孔导度减小引起的,而苹果 (Malus pumila) 和柠条 (Caragana korshinskii)午后净光合速率的降低与叶肉细胞酶的活性降低有关。这些结论为未来的实验室测定提供了野外观测佐证。     

重庆石灰岩地区十大功劳光合特性动态变化和对CO2的响应研究

运用开放式气体交换C I-310便携式光合作用测定系统,研究了重庆石灰岩地区适生灌木十大功劳(Maho-nia fortunei)光合特性的动态变化和对CO2的响应。结果表明:十大功劳的净光合速率和气孔导度的日变化为双峰曲线,蒸腾速率的日变化为单峰曲线,净光合速率出现了光合午休现象,主要由非气孔因素影响,水分利用效率的日变化呈“L”型。在季节变化中净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度都呈现双峰曲线,而水分利用效率呈现“W”型。气体交换的日动态和季节动态变化是与植物生存的气候环境相适应的,在石灰岩地区表现出低光合低蒸腾和高水分利用效率的节水特性。净光合速率随着CO2浓度的升高而表现出升高趋势,其CO2补偿点为90μmol.mol-1左右,羧化效率为0.0125,较低的羧化效率是十大功劳净光合速率较低的一个原因。

海南岛热带低地雨林攀援竹叶片光合特性季节动态

为探究攀援竹的光合生理特性及其在热带雨林中的生存适应机制,该研究应用LI-6400便携式光合作用测定系统,分别于2、4、7和11月测定了海南岛甘什岭热带低地雨林的无耳藤竹(攀援能力较强)和响子竹(攀援能力较差)光响应曲线和CO2响应曲线。结果显示:(1)无耳藤竹各月份的最大光合速率、光饱和点、光补偿点、暗呼吸效率和气孔导度总体大于响子竹,表观量子效率和胞间CO2浓度总体小于响子竹。(2)两个竹种的最大光合速率、光饱和点、光补偿点、暗呼吸效率、气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度和蒸腾速率均在7月份较高,表观量子效率和水分利用效率则均在2月份较高。(3)无耳藤竹各月份的羧化效率、饱和最大净光合速率和光呼吸速率均高于响子竹,两竹种4月份的CO2饱和点和CO2补偿点最高,但羧化效率和饱和最大光合速率较低。研究表明,无耳藤竹为阳性植物,其光合能力优于响子竹,对CO2浓度变化的适应能力更强,而响子竹以其耐荫的特性在热带雨林中与其他物种共存;两攀援竹种的光合能力均表现为雨季大于旱季,它们在雨季主要通过提高光饱和点、气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度来提高其净光合速率,在旱季主要通过降低蒸腾速率和提高水分利用效率来维持光合作用;两种攀援竹光合特性季节变化是环境和竹种自身生理特性共同作用的结果,不同的光合生理特性决定了其在热带雨林中不同的生存策略。     

广东省茂名油页岩废渣堆放场主要树种的叶片气孔气体交换

在茂名油页岩废渣堆放场主要绿化树种中选取青梅(Vaticamangachapoi)、海南红豆(Ormosiapinnata)和非洲桃花心木(Khayasenegalensis)3种植物进行测定。结果表明,3种植物的净光合速率的大小有明显的差异,从大到小的顺序是非洲桃花心木>海南红豆>青梅,海南红豆和非洲桃花心木的光合速率日变化幅度较大,而青梅的则相对较小;气孔导度从大到小依次为非洲桃花心木>海南红豆>青梅;三者净光合速率的差异与气孔导度有关。非洲桃花心木虽然具有较高的净光合速率,但由于其气孔导度较高,散失的水分较多,其内在水分利用效率比海南红豆低。青梅下午的内在水分利用效率比上午高得多,是由于其气孔导度下午比上午明显降低而限制了蒸腾失水的缘故。在油页岩废渣场,海南红豆和非洲桃花心木比青梅具有较强的生态适应性。     

Photosynthetic responses of Miconia species to canopy openings in a lowland tropical rainforest

We examined the photosynthetic acclimation of three tropical species of Miconia to canopy openings in a Costa Rican rainforest. The response of photosynthesis to canopy opening was very similar in Miconia affinis, M. gracilis, and M. nervosa, despite differences in growth form (trees and shrubs) and local distributions of plants (understory and gap). Four months after the canopy was opened by a treefall, photosynthetic capacity in all three species had approximately doubled from closed canopy levels. There were no obvious signs of high light damage after treefall but acclimation to the gap environment was not immediate. Two weeks after treefall, A_max, stomatal conductance, apprarent quantum efficiency, and dark respiration rates had not changed significantly from understory values. The production of new leaves appears to be an important component of light acclimation in these species. The only variables to differ significantly among species were stomatal conductance at A_max and the light level at which assimilation was saturated. M. affinis had a higher stomatal conductance which may reduce its water use efficiency in gap environments. Photosynthesis in the more shade-tolerant M. gracilis saturated at lower light levels than in the other two species. Individual plant light environments were assessed after treefall with canopy photography but they explained only a small fraction of plant variation in most measures of photosynthesis and growth. In conclusion, we speculate that species differences in local distribution and in light requirements for reproduction may be more strongly related to species differences in carbon allocation than in carbon assimilation.     

Photosynthetic induction in saplings of three shade-tolerant tree species: comparing understorey and gap habitats in a French Guiana rain forest

The photosynthetic induction response under constant and fluctuating light was examined in naturally occurring saplings (about 0.5-2 m in height) of three shade-tolerant tree species, Pourouma bicolor spp digitata, Dicorynia guianensis, and Vouacapoua americana, growing in bright gaps and in the shaded understorey in a Neotropical rain forest. Light availability to saplings was estimated by hemispherical photography. Photosynthetic induction was measured in the morning on leaves that had not yet experienced direct sunlight. In Dicorynia, the maximum net photosynthesis rate (A_max) was similar between forest environments (ca 4 µmol m^-2 s^-1), whereas for the two other species, it was twice as high in gaps (ca 7.5) as in the understorey (ca 4.5). However, the time required to reach 90% of A_max did not differ among species, and was short, 7-11 min. Biochemical induction was fast in leaves of Pourouma, as about 3 min were needed to reach 75% of maximum carboxylation capacity (V_cmax); the two other species needed 4-5 min. When induction continued after reaching 75% of V_cmax, stomatal conductance increased in Pourouma only (ca 80%), causing a further increase in its net photosynthesis rate. When fully induced leaves were shaded for 20 min, loss of induction was moderate in all species. However, gap saplings of Dicorynia had a rapid induction loss (ca 80%), which was mainly due to biochemical limitation as stomatal conductance decreased only slowly. When leaves were exposed to a series of lightflecks separated by short periods of low light, photosynthetic induction increased substantially and to a similar extent in all species. Although A_max was much lower in old than in young leaves as measured in Dicorynia and Vouacapoua, variables of the dynamic response of photosynthesis to a change in light tended to be similar between young and old leaves. Old leaves, therefore, might remain important for whole-plant carbon gain, especially in understorey environments. The three shade-tolerant species show that, particularly in low light, they are capable of efficient sunfleck utilization.     

Photosynthetic responses to dynamic light under field conditions in six tropical rainforest shrubs occuring along a light gradient

 We examined in the field the photosynthetic utilization of fluctuating light by six neotropical rainforest shrubs of the family Rubiaceae. They were growing in three different light environments: forest understory, small gaps, and clearings. Gas exchange techniques were used to analyse photosynthetic induction response, induction maintenance during low-light periods, and lightfleck (simulated sunfleck) use efficiency (LUE). Total daily photon flux density (PFD) reaching the plants during the wet season was 37 times higher in clearings than in the understory, with small gaps exhibiting intermediate values. Sunflecks were more frequent, but shorter and of lower intensity in the understory than in clearings. However, sunflecks contributed one-third of the daily PFD in the understory. Maximum rates of net photosynthesis, carboxylation capacity, electron transport, and maximum stomatal conductance were lower in understory species than in species growing in small gaps or clearings, while the reverse was true for the curvature factor of the light response of photosynthesis. No significant differences were found in the apparent quantum yield. The rise of net photosynthesis during induction after transfer from low to high light varied from a hyperbolic shape to a sigmoidal increase. Rates of photosynthetic induction exhibited a negative exponential relationship with stomatal conductance in the shade prior to the increase in PFD. Leaves of understory species showed the most rapid induction and remained induced longer once transferred to the shade than did leaves of medium- or high-light species. LUE decreased rapidly with increasing lightfleck duration and was affected by the induction state of the leaf. Fully induced leaves exhibited LUEs up to 300% for 1-s lightflecks, while LUE was below 100% for 1–80 s lightflecks in uninduced leaves. Both induced and uninduced leaves of understory species exhibited higher LUE than those of species growing in small gaps or clearings. However, most differences disappeared for lightflecks 10 s long or longer. Thus, understory species, which grew in a highly dynamic light environment, had better capacities for utilization of rapidly fluctuating light than species from habitats with higher light availability.

Photosynthetic sunfleck utilization potential of understory saplings growing under elevated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> in FACE

Few studies have evaluated elevated CO₂ responses of trees in variable light despite its prevalence in forest understories and its potential importance for sapling survival. We studied two shade-tolerant species (Acer rubrum, Cornus florida) and two shade-intolerant species (Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera) growing in the understory of a Pinus taeda plantation under ambient and ambient+200 ppm CO₂ in a free air carbon enrichment (FACE) experiment. Photosynthetic and stomatal responses to artificial changes in light intensity were measured on saplings to determine rates of induction gain under saturating light and induction loss under shade. We expected that growth in elevated CO₂ would alter photosynthetic responses to variable light in these understory saplings. The results showed that elevated CO₂ caused the expected enhancement in steady-state photosynthesis in both high and low light, but did not affect overall stomatal conductance or rates of induction gain in the four species. Induction loss after relatively short shade periods (<6 min) was slower in trees grown in elevated CO₂ than in trees grown in ambient CO₂ despite similar decreases in stomatal conductance. As a result leaves grown in elevated CO₂ that maintained induction well in shade had higher carbon gain during subsequent light flecks than was expected from steady-state light response measurements. Thus, when frequent sunflecks maintain stomatal conductance and photosynthetic induction during the day, enhancements of long-term carbon gain by elevated CO₂ could be underestimated by steady-state photosynthetic measures. With respect to species differences, both a tolerant, A. rubrum, and an intolerant species, L. tulipifera, showed rapid induction gain, but A. rubrum also lost induction rapidly (c. 12 min) in shade. These results, as well as those from independent studies in the literature, show that induction dynamics are not closely related to species shade tolerance. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that shade-tolerant species necessarily induce faster in the variable light conditions common in understories. Although our study is the first to examine dynamic photosynthetic responses to variable light in contrasting species in elevated CO₂, studies on ecologically diverse species will be required to establish whether shade-tolerant and -intolerant species show different photosynthetic responses in elevated CO₂ during sunflecks. We conclude that elevated CO₂ affects dynamic gas exchange most strongly via photosynthetic enhancement during induction as well as in the steady state.

香果树实生苗的光合特性及其与环境因子的关系

为确定香果树实生苗的适生环境并为其自然更新提出有针对性策略,研究了不同生境(冠下、冠缘、林窗和林缘)中2年生香果树实生苗的净光合速率、水分利用效率、叶绿素含量、苗高、基径、生物量等的变化及其与生态因子之间的关系.结果表明: 4种生境中的光合有效辐射最大值为50～1380 μmol·m^-2·s^-1,冠下和冠缘中香果树实生苗的净光合速率日变化呈单峰型,而林窗和林缘实生苗的净光合速率日变化呈双峰型;香果树实生苗为耐阴植物,但耐阴能力较弱,其功能叶的光饱和点、补偿点和暗呼吸在4种生境中大小顺序为: 林缘>林窗>冠缘>冠下,表观量子效率的变化规律与之相反;林窗和冠缘2种生境中香果树实生苗的适应能力较强,叶片的蒸腾速率、气孔导度、水分利用效率和净光合速率较高;林窗中香果树实生苗叶片的叶绿素含量较低,但实生苗的生长速度最快,生物量最大;香果树实生苗的净光合速率与光合有效辐射和气孔导度呈显著正相关.对于冠下生境,需降低林冠层密度,增加透光率,以利于香果树实生苗的光合作用;对于林缘生境,则需要增加植被盖度,降低光照强度,以利于其快速生长.     

落叶阔叶林内的光合作用和气孔传导率特征(英文)

本文根据Wang和BMdocchi(1989)最近提出的冠层辐射模型,进一步给出了一个模拟冠层光合作用速率和气孔传导率的模式.模式将冠层中每一层的叶面积分为向光叶、半影叶、和全遮荫叶三种,并分别计算其光合作用速率和气孔传导率。计算得到的光合速率廓线表明,在落叶阔叶林内,冠层下部的叶片常处于光照不足状态;半影效应使得透过林冠达于底部的辐射量增大,这对于林下植物的光合作用是有利的。 模式计算值与实测值之间的微弱差别应归因于纯辐射模型无法考虑湍流输送机制造成的CO_2传输和冠层底部耐荫性叶对于低光照的适应能力。     

Stomatal versus biochemical limitations to dynamic photosynthetic performance in four tropical rainforest shrub species

Photosynthetic performance under dynamic light regimes was assessed in four different species of tropical shrubs from the family Rubiaceae via field gas exchange measurements conducted on Barro Colorado Island, Panamá. Rates of photosynthetic induction and induction loss were assessed throughout the day in both the wet and dry seasons in order to determine the relative roles of stomata and biochemistry in limiting photosynthetic performance under transient light conditions. A high degree of coordination was observed between stomatal conductance and biochemical capacity for CO₂ assimilation during induction. Rates of biochemical and overall photosynthetic induction sharply decreased when initial stomatal conductance fell below a narrow range of critical values. Time of day or season did not affect rates of biochemical deactivation upon shading, but did influence stomatal closure, which often exerted a significant influence over induction loss in the darkness. In measurements of total assimilation due to a 60-s light pulse, both biochemical activity and stomatal conductance were linearly related to total CO₂ uptake. Only during the mornings of the wet season was stomatal conductance consistently high enough to be non-limiting to dynamic photosynthetic performance. At all other times, stomatal behavior exercised significant influence over induction times, photosynthetic induction loss, and total CO₂ uptake from 60-s light pulses.

Field water relations of a wet-tropical forest tree species,Pentaclethra macroloba (Mimosaceae)

Summary The water relations of Pentaclethra macroloba (Willd.) Kuntze, a dominant, shade-tolerant, tree species in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica, were examined within the forest canopy. Pressure-volume curves and diurnal courses of stomatal conductance and leaf water potential were measured in order to assess differences in water relations between understory, mid-canopy and canopy leaves. Leaves in the canopy had the smallest pinnules but the largest stomatal frequencies and stomatal conductances of the three forest levels. Osmotic potentials at full turgidity decreased with height in the forest; in the canopy and midcanopy they were reduced relative to those in the understory just enough to balance the gravitational component of water potential. Consequently, maximum turgor pressures were similar for leaves from all three canopy levels. Bulk tissue elastic modulus increased with height in the canopy. Leaf water potentials were lowest in the canopy and highest in the understory, even when the gravitational component was added to mid-canopy and canopy values. As a result, minimum turgor pressures were also lowest in the canopy compared to those at lesser heights, and approached zero in full sunlight on clear days.Osmotic potentials at each canopy level were similar for both wet and dry season samples dates suggesting that seasonal osmotic adjustment does not occur. Despite lowered predawn water potentials during the dry season, turgor was maintained in the understory by reduced stomatal conductances.
