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。     

Nighttime sap flow of Acacia mangium and its implications for nighttime transpiration and stem water storage

Aims Nighttime sap flow of trees may indicate transpiration and/or recharge of stem water storage at night. This paper deals with the water use of Acacia mangium at night in the hilly lands of subtropical South China. Our primary goal was to reveal and understand the nature of nighttime sap flow and its functional significance.Methods Granier's thermal dissipation method was used to determine the nighttime sap flux of A. mangium. Gas exchange system was used to estimate nighttime leaf transpiration and stomatal conductance of studied trees.Important findings Nighttime sap flow was substantial and showed seasonal variation similar to the patterns of daytime sap flow in A. mangium. Mean nighttime sap flow was higher in the less precipitation year of 2004 (1122.4 mm) than in the more precipitation year of 2005 (1342.5 mm) since more daytime transpiration and low soil water availability in the relatively dry 2004 can be the cause of more nighttime sap flow. Although vapor pressure deficit and air temperature were significantly correlated with nighttime sap flow, they could only explain a small fraction of the variance in nighttime sap flow. The total accumulated water loss (E L) by transpiration of canopy leaves was only ~2.6–8.5% of the total nighttime sap flow (E t) during the nights of July 17–18 and 18–19, 2006. Therefore, it is likely that the nighttime sap flow was mainly used for refilling water in the trunk. The stem diameter at breast height, basal area and sapwood area explained much more variance of nighttime water recharge than environmental factors and other tree form features, such as tree height, stem length below the branch, and canopy size. The contribution of nighttime water recharge to the total transpiration ranged from 14.7 to 30.3% depending on different DBH class and was considerably higher in the dry season compared to the wet season.     

Estimation of hydraulic conductance within field-grown apricot using sap flow measurements

Using the heat pulse and other techniques, the hydraulic architecture of apricot trees was mapped out. The flows (overall flow, flow across the four main branches) and forces (water potential differences between xylem and leaves) measured allowed us to quantify hydraulic conductance of branches and of the root/soil resistance. The experiment was carried out in a commercial orchard of 11-year-old apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca L., cv. Búlida, on Real Fino apricot rootstock) during 1 week (October 27–November 3, 1998). Three representative trees with a cylindrical trunk divided into four main branches of different sizes, orientation and local microclimate were chosen for the experiment. Sap flow was measured throughout the experimental period. Twelve sets of heat-pulse probes were used, one for each main branch. The diurnal course of the environmental conditions, the fraction of the area irradiated and leaf water relations were also considered in each main branch. The relationships between leaf water potential, xylem water potential and transpiration were established for different branches and also for the total plant. Using the slopes of these regressions, total plant conductance, the hydraulic conductance of the stem and root pathway, the hydraulic conductance of the canopy and the hydraulic conductance of each branch were estimated. Our findings show that the root conductance and the canopy hydraulic conductance are similar in magnitude. Leaf hydraulic conductance per leaf area unit was similar for each of the four branch orientations, indicating that, while the light microclimate has a dominant influence on transpiration, in this case it had little effect on the hydraulic properties of the canopy.     

黄土高原半干旱区柠条(Caragana korshinskii)树干液流动态及其影响因子

应用热脉冲技术在黄土高原神木县六道沟小流域于2006年6月13至25日测定了两种不同密度柠条(Caragana korshinskii)群落的树干液流动态.同时测量了土壤水分、太阳辐射、大气温度、相对湿度、风速、水汽压亏缺和作物参考蒸散等环境因子,并根据植物蒸腾的P-M公式,反推计算冠层导度.结果表明,除风速外,柠条树木液流与太阳辐射、大气温度、相对湿度、水汽压亏缺、作物参考蒸散均显著相关,且可用太阳辐射的线性表达式来估测.不同密度群落的日蒸腾量随叶面积指数增大而增加,叶面积指数为2.3的群落平均日蒸腾为3.83mm d-1m-2,而叶面积指数为1.1的林分平均日蒸腾1.64mm d-1m-2.冠层导度与气象因子关系复杂,当土壤水分不存在亏缺时,冠层导度与太阳辐射、大气温度、作物参考蒸散因子显著相关,与水汽亏缺和相对湿度因子无相关性;当土壤水分存在亏缺时,冠层导度与太阳辐射、大气温度、作物参考蒸散因子无相关关系,而与水汽亏缺和相对湿度因子显著相关.

为明确毛白杨(Populus tomentosa)不同方位夜间蒸腾量(Nt)及茎干充水量(Sr)等夜间液流活动的规律, 探究不同方位Nt和Sr的主要影响因子, 该研究使用热扩散的方法监测了宽窄行模式下栽植的毛白杨茎干不同方位夜间液流, 并用图像法区分Nt和Sr。使用自动气象站和机械式张力计监测太阳总辐射(R_s, kW·m^-2)、空气温度(T_a, ℃)、空气相对湿度(RH, %)、风速(v, m·s^-1)、土壤水势(ψ, kPa)等环境因子。通过比较各方位的Nt和Sr等液流活动的大小情况及其与环境因子之间的相关性得到方位间夜间液流的差异性以及各方位夜间液流的主要影响因子。结果显示: 宽行距位于东侧的样树西方位的Nt和Sr均最大, 其中西方位的Sr显著大于其他3个方位; 北方位的Nt显著小于其他3个方位; 其他方位间的Nt和Sr无显著差异; 各方位夜间茎干充水量占夜间液流量的比例(Sr/Q)无显著差异。宽行距位于西侧的样树西方位的Nt和Sr亦均最大, 其中西方位的Sr显著大于东方位和南方位; 南方位的Nt最小, 显著小于西方位和北方位, 其他方位间的Nt和Sr无显著差异; 南方位的Sr/Q显著大于其他3个方位。各方位的Nt和Sr均与水汽压亏缺(VPD)有显著的正相关关系, 部分方位Nt和Sr与T_a和RH有显著相关关系, 没有任何方位Nt和Sr与v和ψ有显著相关关系。Nt和Sr方位间的差异(Nt_CV、Sr_CV)与VPD、T_a、RH、v和ψ均无显著相关关系。此外, Sr受白天的液流活动的影响显著。综上所述, 毛白杨不同方位Nt和Sr等液流活动具有较大的差异, 且西方位是优势方位; VPD是影响各方位Nt和Sr的主要气象因子。     

Relationships between sap flow and water potential in woody or perennial plants on islands of the Great Barrier Reef

Abstract. This paper describes studies on trees of Pisonia grandis , bushes of Argusia argentea , and the perennial herb Melanthera biflora , growing on One Tree Island, a coral cay of the Great Barrier Reef with 'soil' of coarse coral rubble. Water potential (Ψ_b, measured on small shoots with a pressure chamber), sap flow, stomatal conductance, vapour pressure deficit and photon flux density were monitored over day/night cycles. Sap flow and Ψ_b responded to changes in light and humidity. From these experiments good linear correlations were found between sap flow in a shoot and Ψ_b of similar adjacent shoots. The linearity suggests that the resistance to sap flow is constant as Ψ_b varies. The correlation, however, does not indicate a causal relationship between Ψ_b of an individual shoot on the plant and its sap flow. Ψ_b was only slightly different in shaded shoots from those in sunshine, although sap flow would be expected to differ between them. Enclosing shoots and so reducing their transpiration and sap flow to very low rates resulted in only small changes in Ψ_b of the enclosed shoots; Tb of such enclosed shoots should closely approximate that of the xylem at the point of shoot attachment. From these results it is suggested that the resistance to water flow in shoot and leaf xylem is small compared to the resistance further down the plant, in the root or at the root/soil interface. Shoot xylem water potential would be similar for all parts of the plant, and in such plants the water potential of shoots in the shade would be determined by the overall water use of the plant.     

Evidence from Amazonian forests is consistent with isohydric control of leaf water potential

Climate modelling studies predict that the rain forests of the Eastern Amazon basin are likely to experience reductions in rainfall of up to 50% over the next 50-100 years. Efforts to predict the effects of changing climate, especially drought stress, on forest gas exchange are currently limited by uncertainty about the mechanism that controls stomatal closure in response to low soil moisture. At a through-fall exclusion experiment in Eastern Amazonia where water was experimentally excluded from the soil, we tested the hypothesis that plants are isohydric, that is, when water is scarce, the stomata act to prevent leaf water potential from dropping below a critical threshold level. We made diurnal measurements of leaf water potential (psi 1), stomatal conductance (g(s)), sap flow and stem water potential (psi stem) in the wet and dry seasons. We compared the data with the predictions of the soil-plant-atmosphere (SPA) model, which embeds the isohydric hypothesis within its stomatal conductance algorithm. The model inputs for meteorology, leaf area index (LAI), soil water potential and soil-to-leaf hydraulic resistance (R) were altered between seasons in accordance with measured values. No optimization parameters were used to adjust the model. This 'mechanistic' model of stomatal function was able to explain the individual tree-level seasonal changes in water relations (r2 = 0.85, 0.90 and 0.58 for psi 1, sap flow and g(s), respectively). The model indicated that the measured increase in R was the dominant cause of restricted water use during the dry season, resulting in a modelled restriction of sap flow four times greater than that caused by reduced soil water potential. Higher resistance during the dry season resulted from an increase in below-ground resistance (including root and soil-to-root resistance) to water flow.     

毛竹液流特征及其与环境因子的关系

运用Dynamax液流测量系统监测浙江庙山坞自然保护区毛竹液流的日变化,采用型号为EQ-15的土壤水势仪监测0～100cm土层的土壤水势,利用自动气象站同步监测太阳总辐射、空气温度、空气相对湿度、风速等气象因子。结果表明:晴朗天气条件下毛竹液流的日变化过程呈现单峰曲线,具有显著的昼夜变化规律,且变幅大;阴雨天气时液流日变化过程呈双峰或多峰曲线,而且日均液流速率和日液流量均低于晴朗天气,变化较平缓;不同径阶毛竹液流速率波动规律相同,但径级较大毛竹的日均液流速率和液流量较大一些。当0～100cm土层土壤水势在-13～-10kPa时,毛竹液流速率与土壤水势相关性不显著,但当土壤水势低于-200kPa左右时,液流速率和土壤水势呈正相关,土壤水分含量成为限制液流速率的主要因子之一;相关性分析表明,边材液流速率与空气温度、空气相对湿度、光合有效辐射、总辐射、水蒸气压亏缺呈极显著正相关,与空气相对湿度呈极显著负相关。太阳辐射、气温、空气湿度、风速等环境因子作自变量,以液流速率作因变量,经过逐步回归,建立了液流速率与环境因子的多元线性模型。     

基于树干液流测定值的马占相思(Acacia mangium)冠层气孔导度计算及数值模拟

为深入揭示华南地区马占相思冠层气孔导度对环境因子的响应规律,在2005年7月至11月,利用Granier热消散式探针法对马占相思(Acacia mangium)的树干液流(sapflow)进行了连续测定,计算出整树的蒸腾,并由Penman-Monteith方程得出马占相思的冠层气孔导度值。通过分析,发现:马占相思冠层气孔导度是控制马占相思树整树蒸腾的主要因素;冠层气孔导度随着水汽压亏缺增加呈负指数函数下降的趋势。使用包括了太阳总辐射、水汽压亏缺和气温的Jarvis模型可以较好地模拟马占相思冠层气孔导度对环境因子的响应特征;模拟结果表明:环境变量对模型精确度的影响程度依次为:水汽压亏缺>太阳总辐射>气温。     

黄土高原丘陵沟壑区小流域植被净第一性生产力模型

构建了机理性植被净第一性生产力模型(Vegetation—Soil—Integrated—Model,VSIM)。该模型将土壤水分动态过程与植被生长过程相耦合,用以分析黄土高原丘陵沟壑区土壤水分对植被生产力的影响。模型考虑了叶片尺度上气孔导度对净光合过程和蒸腾过程的影响,在此基础上通过考虑植被冠层结构和地形因素的影响对模型进行尺度转换,并以位于黄土高原丘陵沟壑区纸坊沟流域的观测数据对模型进行参数化和验证。结果表明对于生物量的模拟草本和半灌木比乔、灌木好．主要植被类型LAI的季节变化与观测结果具有很好的一致性,模型能够反映出流域降雨一产流过程,并且基本上也能够反映土壤水分的时空变化范围。模拟结果表明,刺槐林和苹果林属于高光合一低蒸腾类型,农作物、白羊草群落和达乌里胡枝子群落属于高光合一高蒸腾类型,铁杆蒿群落和茭蒿群落属于低光合一低蒸腾类型,而沙棘灌丛和柠条灌丛的净第一性生产力居中,但蒸腾量较高。流域内土壤水分在多年序列上基本平衡,而在不同的水文年表现出失衡。其中刺槐林、苹果林和沙棘灌丛的多年平均土壤水分在年内存在少量亏缺,铁杆蒿群落和茭蒿群落略有增加,而其它植被类型基本保持平衡。丰水年不同植被类型土壤含水量都明显高于欠水年,土壤水分含量的变化在丰水年表现为盈余,而在欠水年表现为明显的亏缺。     

控水条件下侧柏冠层气孔导度对土壤水的响应

建立了不同控水条件下(无降水、一半降水、自然降水和二倍降水)的侧柏样地,于2016年8月—2017年8月监测了样地土壤含水量(SWC)、降水量、液流密度(J_s)、叶面积指数(LAI)和水汽压亏缺(VPD)等因子,分析SWC对侧柏冠层气孔导度(g_s)的影响。结果表明: 一半、自然和二倍降水样地的SWC与降水量呈正相关,SWC变化范围分别为4.9%～16.0%、7.2%～22.9%、7.4%～29.6%,无降水样地的SWC在8—10月下降50%;7月的日g_s在14:00达到峰值(166.64 mmol·m^-2·s^-1),显著高于其他月份,且出现双峰现象, 1月的日g_s在12:00达到峰值(54.1 mmol·m^-2·s^-1);3个降水条件下,侧柏g_s与SWC呈负二次相关关系,且g_s达到峰值,对应的SWC分别为8.5%、12.5%和18.5%,均趋近于年平均SWC。不同控水样地内侧柏g_s对VPD的敏感性(δ)/参比冠层气孔导度(g_sref)均≥0.6,表明不同控水条件下土壤水分状况较适合侧柏蒸腾用水的需求。当SWC在3.7%～7.5%时,δ和g_sref值迅速增大,说明气孔调节能力更好,植物气孔对VPD的响应更敏感;当SWC上升到11%时,SWC变化对g_sref和g_s对VPD响应敏感性的影响不显著。可能存在侧柏产生适应状态的SWC阈值,植物体在自身的生命活动中关闭或减小气孔开度,降低叶片水势以适应过高的VPD,保护植物不会引起过度蒸腾,从而对蒸腾的调控更加有效。     

叶斑病对白桦树干液流的影响

应用热扩散法,对白桦树干液流进行连续两个生长旺期测定。与健康白桦相比,患叶斑病的白桦树干液流格局发生明显改变。在晴天树干液流密度日变化由单峰曲线转变为双峰曲线,或单峰曲线峰值较光合有效辐射峰值显著提前或推后;液流密度峰值及全天均值远远低于同期的健康白桦,且晚上及凌晨输水比例明显升高,表明晚上主要靠根压输送水分,维持光合作用必需原料及生长所需的矿物质;并且此时树干液流密度变化受外界环境因子的决定比重减小或根本无相关显著的环境因子。叶感病白桦树干液流具有以上特点,是因为具有较强的蒸腾生理调控力,以适应叶部病害而求得生存。     

The effect of fertilization on sap flux and canopy conductance in a Eucalyptus saligna experimental forest

Land devoted to plantation forestry (50 million ha) has been increasing worldwide and the genus Eucalyptus is a popular plantation species (14 million ha) for its rapid growth and ability to grow well on a wide range of sites. Fertilization is a common silvicultural tool to improve tree growth with potential effects on stand water use, but the relationship between wood growth and water use in response to fertilization remains poorly quantified. Our objectives in this study were to determine the extent, timing and longevity of fertilization effects on water use and wood growth in a non‐water limited Eucalyptus saligna experimental forest near Hilo, HI. We evaluated the short‐ and long‐term effects of fertilization on water use by measuring sap flux per unit sapwood area, canopy conductance, transpiration per unit leaf area and water‐use efficiency in control and fertilized stands. Short‐term effects were assessed by comparing sap flux before and after fertilizer application. Long‐term effects were assessed by comparing control plots and plots that had received nutrient additions for 5 years. For the short‐term response, total water use in fertilized plots increased from 265 to 487 mm yr^?1 during the 5 months following fertilization. The increase was driven by an increase in stand leaf area accompanied by an increase in sap flux per unit sapwood area. Sap flux per unit leaf area and canopy conductance did not differ during the 5 months following fertilizer additions. For the last 2 months of our short‐term measurements, fertilized trees used less water per unit carbon gain (361 compared with 751 kg H₂O kg C^?1 in control stands). Trees with 5 years of fertilization also used significantly more water than controls (401 vs. 302 mm yr^?1) because of greater leaf area in the fertilized stands. Sap flux per unit sapwood area, sap flux per unit leaf area, and canopy conductance did not differ between control and fertilized trees in the long‐term plots. In contrast to the short‐term response, the long‐term response of water use per unit wood growth was not significant. Overall, fertilization of E. saligna at our site increased stand water use by increasing leaf area. Fertilized trees grew more wood and used more water, but fertilization did not change wood growth per unit water use.

华南荷木林冠层气孔导度对水汽压亏缺的响应

冠层气孔导度(Gs)是量化气孔在冠层尺度水平上表现的参数,能够表征森林冠层表面水汽和能量交换的动态.本研究利用Granier树干液流测定系统,连续监测华南地区荷木林的树干液流,通过尺度转换和扩展获得冠层蒸腾速率,结合微气象观测值,以Pen-man-Monteith公式计算了Gs,并比较不同土壤水分条件下Gs对水汽压亏缺的响应.结果显示,Gs与气孔气体交换方法实测的叶片气孔导度(gs)日变化相似,单位转换数值大小与实测gs数量级一致.Gs对水汽压亏缺的响应在干季和湿季有明显差别:(1)在土壤水分充足的湿季(土壤含水量θ ＞33％),Gs对水汽压亏缺的响应更敏感(偏相关系数-0.316),而在干季(θ＜23％)则对光合有效辐射的响应更敏感(偏相关系数0.885).(2)荷木林冠层-大气脱耦联系数(Ω)在湿季接近l,干季则较湿季小,说明湿季叶片的界面层较厚,水汽压亏缺对Gs影响较小,而光合有效辐射是控制Gs的主要环境因子.     

栓皮栎人工林树干液流对不同时间尺度气象因子及水面蒸发的响应

于2006-2008年主要生长季节,利用热扩散技术连续测算得到了华北土石山区30年生栓皮栎人工林液流量(SF),并结合同步测定的太阳辐射(Ra)、空气温度(Ta)、饱和水汽压亏缺(VPD)、风速(V)和降雨量(P)等气象因子、水面蒸发(EV0)及叶面积指数(LAI)等因子,分析了栓皮栎液流对不同时间尺度气象因子及水面蒸发的响应规律,探索建立长时间尺度水面蒸发与树干液流之间的关系模型。试验结果表明:(1)在主要生长季(4—9月份)期间,栓皮栎单株液流与同期测定的Ra、Ta、VPD和V等气象因子间均存在着较强的相关性。时间尺度为10min、1h、d、旬、月时,决定系数分别为0.388、0.482、0.539、0.654和0.812。说明随着时间尺度的增加,相关性越强;在不同时间尺度下,影响SF的最主要气象因子均为Ra。月SF与月Ra变化趋势的同步性尤为明显。(2)日尺度和月尺度上EV0与SF之间具有很好的线性关系,决定系数分别为0.578和0.876,比同时期、相等样本数条件下SF与Ra、Ta、VPD、V多元线性拟合的决定系数分别高3.6%和3.9%。(3)2006、2007、2008年生长季节降雨量分别为464.8、393.3mm和315.0mm,栓皮栎单株液流分别为2024.1L、1739.2L和1688.7L,年际间SF变化趋势与降雨量存在一定的一致性。     

黄土高原水土保持林对土壤水分的影响

黄土高原植被恢复的限制因素主要是土壤水分,植被与土壤水分关系的研究对黄土高原植被恢复具有重要意义.2008年7月1日至2009年10月31日间采用EnviroSMART土壤水分定位监测系统以每30min监测1次的频度,对晋西黄土区刺槐人工林地、油松人工林地、次生林地的土壤水分变化进行了研究.研究得出:次生林地0-150 cm土层中平均蓄水量为331.95mm,刺槐人工林地为233.85 mm,有整地措施的油松人工林地为314.85mm,刺槐人工林比次生林多消耗的98.10mm土壤水分主要来源于80 cm以下土层.次生林主要消耗0-80 cm土层的水分,而人工林不但对0-80 cm土层水分的消耗量大于次生林,对深层土壤的消耗也较次生林大,这将有可能导致人工林地深层土壤的“干化”.在土壤水分减少期(11-1月)刺槐人工林土壤水分的日均损耗量为0.86mm、油松人工林为0.82 mm、次生林为0.84 mm.土壤水分缓慢恢复期(2-5月)刺槐人工林地土壤水分的恢复速度0.90mm/d,油松人工林地为0.53 mm/d、次生林地为0.79 mm/d.土壤水分剧烈变化期(5-10月)刺槐人工林地土壤水分含量的极差为95.71mm,油松人工林地为179.1mm,次生林地为72.03mm.在干旱少雨的黄土高原进行植被恢复时,应多采取封山育林等方式,依靠自然力量形成能够与当地土壤水资源相协调的次生林,是防止人工植被过度耗水形成“干化层”、保障水土保持植被持续发挥生态服务功能的关键.     

黄土高原不同人工林叶片-凋落叶-土壤生态化学计量特征

为探究“退耕还林(牧)”工程对陕西省子午岭林区的影响,分析3种典型的人工林(刺槐林、油松林和侧柏林)叶片-凋落叶-土壤的C、N、P含量及其生态化学计量特征.结果表明: 3种人工林不同组分中C、N、P含量大小均为叶片>凋落叶>土壤,刺槐林叶片N、P含量显著高于油松林和侧柏林.刺槐林、油松林和侧柏林叶片N∶P分别为12.2、5.4和6.1,油松和侧柏较刺槐林存在N亏损,C∶N和C∶P大小均为凋落叶>叶片>土壤,N∶P为叶片>凋落叶>土壤.油松林叶片C∶N与凋落叶C∶N间存在显著正相关关系.刺槐叶片在生长周期内吸收利用的N和P存在比例关系,且其凋落叶在元素再吸收后N和P的残留量也存在比例关系.与油松和侧柏相比,刺槐是黄土高原南部森林带最适宜的造林树种.
