叶片和群落尺度净光合速率关系的探讨

叶片净光合速率(P_n)是研究光合作用机理的基本尺度; 而群落净光合速率(P_c)是研究群落光合能力及其与外部环境因子间关系的更好尺度, 特别是区域乃至全球尺度碳循环的研究, 需要将叶片尺度的生理生态模型扩展到冠层尺度。理论上, 群落内所有叶片的累积P_n与实测群落净气体交换速率(NCE)是相等的, 但在野外实际观测中, 两者之间的相互关系目前尚未见报道。该文选取敖汉苜蓿(Medicago sativa ‘Aohan’)人工草地, 采用美国LI-COR公司生产的便携式光合测定系统LI-6400测定P_n, 结合叶面积指数等参数推算P_c, 利用LI-8100连接同化箱测定生态系统净气体交换速率(NEE), 加上土壤呼吸速率, 得到NCE。结果表明: P_c为3.52 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1, 与实测NCE (3.56 μmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1)基本相等。这表明: 可利用P_n, 结合叶面积指数、群落叶片数目、健康叶片比例和群落可接收有效光照的平均比例等4个关键参数, 准确地换算P_c。然而, 利用同化箱式法测定群落呼吸速率时, 不可避免地会包含土壤呼吸, 所以在观测NCE时, 需要同时测定土壤呼吸。此外, 在冠层模型中, 群落垂直结构和光量子的非线性响应不可忽视。     

Effects of groundwater salinity on the characteristics of leaf photosynthesis and stem sap flow in Tamarix chinensis

AimsThe objective of this study was to investigate the change pattern of leaves photosynthesis and stem sap flow of Tamarix chinensisin under different groundwater salinity, which can be served as a theoretical basis and technical reference for cultivation and management of T. chinensis in shallow groundwater table around Yellow River Delta.MethodsThree-year-old T. chinensis, one of the dominated species in Yellow River Delta, was selected. Plants were treated by four different salinity concentrations of groundwater—fresh water (0 g∙L^-1), brackish water (3.0 g∙L^-1), saline water (8.0 g∙L^-1), and salt water (20.0 g∙L^-1) under 1.2 m groundwater level. Light response of photosynthesis and the diurnal courses of leaf transpiration rate, stem sap flux velocity and environment factors under different groundwater salinity were determined via LI-6400XT portable photosynthesis system and a Dynamax packaged stem sap flow gauge based on stem-heat balance method, respectively.Important findings The result showed that groundwater salinity had a significant impact on photosynthesis efficiency and water consumption capacity of T. chinensis by influencing the soil salt. The net photosynthetic rate (P_n), maximum P_n, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, apparent quantum yield and dark respiration rate increased first and then decreased with increasing groundwater salinity, while the water use efficiency (WUE) continuously decreased. The mean P_n under fresh water, brackish water and salt water decreased by 44.1%, 15.1% and 62.6%, respectively, compared with that under saline water (25.90 µmol∙m^-2∙s^-1). The mean WUE under brackish water, saline water and salt water decreased by 25.0%, 29.2% and 41.7%, respectively, compared with that under fresh water (2.40 µmol∙mmol^-1). With the increase of groundwater salinity from brackish water to salt water, light saturation point of T. chinensisdecreased while the light compensation point increased, which lead to the decrease of light ecological amplitude and light use efficiency. Fresh water and brackish water treatment helped T. chinensis to use low or high level light, which could significantly improve the utilization rate of light energy. The decrease in P_n of T. chinensis was mainly due to non-stomatal limitation under treatment from saline water to fresh water, while the decrease in P_n of T. chinensis was due to stomatal limitation from saline water to salt water. With increasing groundwater salinity, stem sap flux velocity of T. chinensis increased firstly and then decreased, reached the maximum value under saline water. The mean stem sap flux velocity under fresh water, brackish water and salt water decreased by 61.8%, 13.1% and 41.9%, respectively, compared with that under saline water (16.96 g·h^-1). Tamarix chinensis had higher photosynthetic productivity under saline water treatment, and could attained high WUE under severe water deprivation by transpiration, which was suitable for the growth of T. chinensis.     

Dominant species and ecosystem gas exchange in temperate grassland under different land use patterns

在内蒙古温带草原围封、放牧和割草3种处理下的样地内, 对生态系统尺度和大针茅(Stipa grandis)、冷蒿(Artemisia frigida)、羊草(Leymus chinensis) 3种优势种植物叶片尺度上的气体交换和水分关系进行了测定, 对比研究了植物碳水对环境的响应。结果表明, 在优势种单株尺度和生态系统尺度上, 大气-植被CO₂交换因草地利用方式的不同而具有不同的表现。在生态系统层面, 放牧样地的群落净CO₂气体交换量和总初级生产力都与围封样地和割草样地有差异, 群落总初级生产力受生态系统呼吸的影响。在放牧处理下, 群落净CO₂气体交换量日变化表现为生态系统对碳的吸收, 而围封和割草则以碳释放为主。单叶光合速率出现负值并随时间推移而恢复的现象, 应是植物对干旱高温、高光照的特殊反应。生态系统水分利用效率没有明显不同, 但各样地的蒸散能力有趋势上的变化; 对于同种植物, 放牧样地植物单叶水分利用效率的日变化波动幅度最大, 围封样地最小。     

油蒿资源利用效率在生长季的相对变化及对环境因子的响应

为了探明西北半干旱区典型沙生植物油蒿(Artemisia ordosica)叶水平资源利用效率的相对变化及对环境因子的响应机制, 该研究于2018年5-10月, 使用LI-6400XT便携式光合仪测定了毛乌素沙地油蒿叶片的净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(E)、叶表面光合有效辐射(PAR_l)、叶表面温度(T_l)、叶表面相对湿度(RH_l), 在实验室计算叶片单位面积氮含量(N_area), 分析了叶片氮利用效率(NUE)、水分利用效率(WUE)、光利用效率(LUE)与环境因子之间的关系及NUE、WUE、LUE之间的相对变化。研究结果表明, 在充足且稳定光强下油蒿的P_n主要受温度的影响, NUE、WUE与VPD_l、T_l之间具有显著负相关关系, NUE、WUE与LUE间为正相关关系, NUE、WUE和LUE最大值分别发生在5、7和9月, 分别为9.43 μmol CO₂·g^-1·s^-1、3.86 mmol·mol^-1、0.04 mol·mol^-1, 资源利用效率的变化主要受P_n的影响。温度通过影响植物N分配来改变P_n, 进而影响着资源利用效率, WUE与LUE显著正相关, 对构建荒漠区生态系统能量交换过程模型有重要意义。     

苯酚废水对垂柳叶片光合生理参数的影响

为探讨垂柳(Salix babylonica)对苯酚污染物的耐受程度及其应用于苯酚污染环境修复的可行性,了解苯酚胁迫对垂柳光合作用生理过程的影响与限制机理,采用水培模拟胁迫实验方法,在5种苯酚溶液浓度(50、100、200、400和800mg·L–1)下,测定垂柳植株叶片光合气体交换及叶绿素荧光参数。结果表明,苯酚对垂柳光合作用具有显著的抑制作用,表现为叶片净光合速率(Pn)、最大光合速率(Pnmax)、光合量子效率(Φ)、PSII最大和实际光化学效率(Fv/Fm和ФPSII)等均明显下降。苯酚胁迫浓度越高,对垂柳光合作用的抑制程度越大;苯酚胁迫限制光合作用主要由非气孔因素引起。将垂柳用于苯酚污染的水体环境修复时,苯酚浓度应在200 mg·L–1以下,否则垂柳的光合作用效能会明显降低。垂柳光合作用生理活性耐受苯酚胁迫的极限浓度还需进一步实验研究。     

Effects of drought stress on photosynthesis,growth and root structure of transgenic PtPIP2;8 poplar 84K (Populus alba × P. glandulosa)

为研究水通道蛋白PtPIP2;8基因功能, 了解其不同表达水平的转基因84K杨(Populus alba × P. glandulossa)应对干旱胁迫的响应, 该文以转PtPIP2;8 84K杨抑制表达株系(抑制表达)、野生型(WT)和转PtPIP2;8 84K杨超表达株系(超表达)为试验材料, 测定PtPIP2;8表达水平、根系导度、光响应曲线、气体交换参数、生长及根系形态指标。结果显示: (1) WT植株PtPIP2;8仅在根系表达; 超表达植株PtPIP2;8除在根部显著表达外, 在茎和叶片中也显著表达; 抑制表达植株PtPIP2;8仅在根部有微量表达, 表达量分别是WT和超表达植株的1/20和1/80。(2)根系结构分析发现, 超表达植株总根长、总根表面积、总根体积、总根尖数显著低于WT和抑制表达植株, 根系导水率显著高于WT和抑制表达植株, 表明PtPIP2;8参与了植物根系水分运输, 提高了水分运输效率。(3)正常水分条件下, 抑制表达植株苗高、叶面积显著低于WT和超表达植株, 根冠比显著高于WT和超表达植株。干旱胁迫后, 抑制表达植株净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(G_s)下降幅度小, 仍能维持较高的P_n。气体交换参数显示抑制表达植株P_n、G_s日变化为“单峰”型, 属气孔因素引起的净光合速率下降;WT和超表达植株P_n、G_s日变化为“双峰”型, 干旱胁迫后, 抑制表达植株P_n略微下降, WT和超表达植株P_n均下降, 尤其是13:00、15:00下降显著, 表明WT和超表达植株对干旱胁迫更加敏感, 干旱对其影响更大。(4)干旱胁迫后, 抑制表达植株相对生长速率、总生物量降低的最少, 根冠比最高; 总根表面积、总根体积、总根尖数显著高于WT植株。表明PtPIP2;8直接参与水分运输并提高水分运输效率, 其转化影响了植株根系发育和生长。超表达植株根系发育的下降和叶面积的增大减弱了它的抗旱性, 而抑制表达植株矮小, 降低的叶面积, 增加的根系生长和根冠比提高了它的抗旱能力。从研究结果来看, 水通道蛋白提高了水分跨膜运输效率, 而非水通道蛋白导水机制对干旱有较强的耐受性。     

CO2浓度倍增对红松幼苗根尖和叶解剖结构及生理功能的影响

大气CO₂浓度升高对植物的影响是目前植物生态学研究中普遍关注的问题。以往的研究主要关注植物地上部分叶解剖结构及生理功能的改变, 而对根解剖结构和生理功能变化以及根与叶变化之间潜在联系的研究较少。该文以三年生红松(Pinus koraiensis)幼苗为研究对象, 通过CO₂浓度倍增(从350 µmol·mol^-1增加到700 µmol·mol^-1)试验, 研究当年生针叶和根尖解剖结构及生理功能的变化。结果表明: (1) CO₂浓度倍增处理的红松幼苗, 气孔密度显著降低, 叶肉组织面积、木质部及韧皮部面积明显增加; (2) CO₂浓度倍增导致红松幼苗根尖直径增粗, 皮层厚度和层数显著增加, 管胞直径变小; (3)高CO₂浓度处理下, 叶气孔导度和蒸腾速率降低, 光合速率和水分利用效率提高, 同时根尖的导水率显著下降, 但管胞的抗栓塞能力显著提高。这些结果显示, 叶和根解剖结构及生理功能在CO₂浓度升高条件下具有一致的响应。未来研究中应该同时关注全球气候变化对植物地上和地下器官结构与功能的影响。     

Canopy structure and radiation interception of Salix matsudana: Stand density dependent relationships

Aims Plants can enhance their photosynthetic efficiency and competitiveness by adjusting canopy structure and radiation interception. The objective of this paper was to quantify the relationship between canopy structure (crown depth and crown area) and light interception (LI) in a Salix matsudana stand under three different stand densities in a flood plain of Zhangye.Methods Our study site is located at the Heihe flood plain of Xichengyi in Ganzhou district, Zhangye City, Gansu Province in the middle Heihe River, where S. matsudana is the dominant species. Based on stand density (10 m × 10 m), the S. matsudana community is divided into three types: low density (I, 25-36 Ind.·plot^-1), medium density (II, 37-48 Ind.·plot^-1), and high density (III, 49-60 Ind.·plot^-1). Community characteristics, soil physical and chemical properties of each type were measured. At each plot, we measured photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), LI, net photosynthetic rate (P_n), transpiration rate (T_r), crown depth, crown area, leaf area index (LAI), twig numbers, twig length, and bifurcation angle. The standardized major axis (SMA) estimation method was used to determine the relationships between LI and canopy structure.Important findings With increasing in stand density, we found that soil moisture increased, and soil electric conductivity decreased, while twig length and crown depth increased, and PAR, twig numbers, bifurcation angle and crown area decreased. LAI and LI, P_n and T_r reached their maximum at the stand of medium density. There was a significant, positive correlation and negative correlation (p < 0.01), respectively, between the LI, crown depth and crown area at low density (I), whereas low significant (p < 0.05) at high density (III), and high significantly positive correlation (p < 0.01) at the medium density (II). S. matsudana has more horizontal branches that reduce LI. Canopy thickness and increased crown area at low density. More vertical distribution of branches at high density, and a more balanced spacial distribution were found at medium density.     

长期水淹对‘中山杉118’幼苗呼吸代谢的影响

中山杉(Taxodium ‘Zhongshansha’)具有极强的耐淹性, 但其耐淹机理仍没有明确。该研究以‘中山杉118’ (Taxodium ‘Zhongshansha 118’)幼苗为对象, 在经过93天不同水淹处理(对照、水浸、浅淹、深淹)后测定中山杉叶片和根系的无氧呼吸酶活性、淀粉及可溶性糖含量、生物量以及根系活力, 从能量消耗的角度初步探索了中山杉的耐淹性。结果表明: 长期水淹使中山杉叶片与根系中3种无氧呼吸酶(乙醇脱氢酶、丙酮酸脱羧酶、乳酸脱氢酶)活性显著增加, 且叶片与根系的乙醇脱氢酶活性均高于乳酸脱氢酶活性, 中山杉的根系和叶片是通过加强以酒精发酵为主的无氧呼吸适应长期缺氧环境; 不同水淹处理的叶片中3种无氧呼吸酶活性均高于根系, 叶片对缺氧环境更加敏感; 中山杉叶片和根系淀粉、可溶性糖含量均随水淹深度的增加显著增加, 根系淀粉含量显著高于叶片, 可溶性糖含量低于叶片; 中山杉根系淀粉含量高是其能够长期忍受水淹的重要原因, 且中山杉适应长期水淹的策略为忍耐型; 经受长期水淹后中山杉根茎结合部长出气生根及茎基部膨大, 同时根系外壁的木质化能将根系与外部水淹环境隔离, 具有很强的耐淹性, 可作为湿地生态修复、消落带生物治理的优良植物材料。     

不同地下水矿化度对柽柳光合特征及树干液流的影响

为揭示柽柳(Tamarix chinensis)光合能力及耗水特征对地下水矿化度的响应规律, 以黄河三角洲建群种——柽柳3年生植株为研究对象, 在1.2 m的潜水水位下, 模拟设置淡水、微咸水、咸水和盐水4种不同的地下水矿化度, 测定柽柳叶片光合-光响应、蒸腾速率和树干液流的日变化。结果表明: 地下水矿化度通过影响土壤盐分可显著影响柽柳光合特性及耗水性能。随地下水矿化度升高, 柽柳叶片净光合速率(P_n)、最大P_n、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、表观量子效率和暗呼吸速率均先升高后降低, 而水分利用效率(WUE)持续降低。淡水、微咸水和盐水处理下, 柽柳P_n光响应平均值分别比咸水处理降低44.1%、15.1%和62.6%; 微咸水、咸水和盐水处理下, 柽柳WUE光响应平均值分别比淡水处理降低25.0%、29.2%和41.7%。随地下水矿化度升高, 柽柳叶片光饱和点先升高后降低, 而光补偿点持续升高, 光照生态幅变窄, 光能利用率变低。淡水和盐水处理下, 柽柳P_n下降分别是非气孔限制和气孔限制引起的。柽柳树干液流速率随地下水矿化度升高而先升高后降低, 咸水处理下树干液流速率日变幅最大, 日液流量最高。淡水、微咸水和盐水处理下日液流速率平均值分别比咸水处理降低61.8%、13.1%和41.9%。咸水矿化度下柽柳有较高的光合特性, 在蒸腾耗水较严重的情况下可实现高效生理用水, 适宜柽柳较好地生长。     

基于FvCB模型分析盐分胁迫对棉花叶片光合作用的影响

为深入理解叶片光合特性对盐胁迫的响应机理,以棉花为试验材料,设置5个盐分(NaCl)浓度处理:0(CK)、50、100、150和200 mmol·L^-1,利用FvCB模型分析盐胁迫对棉花幼苗叶片光合特性的影响。结果表明:与CK相比,50和100 mmol·L^-1盐分处理增加了棉花叶片的最大羧化速率(V_{c max})和最大电子传递速率(J_max),但150和200 mmol·L^-1盐分处理显著降低了V_{c max}和J_max。叶片净光合速率(P_n)、叶肉导度(g_m)和暗呼吸速率(R_d)随盐分浓度升高而下降;与CK相比,50和100 mmol·L^-1盐分处理对g_m无显著影响,但P_n和R_d显著降低。150和200 mmol·L^-1盐分处理明显降低了P_n、g_m和R_d,且与0、50和100 mmol·L^-1盐分处理间存在显著差异;利用FvCB模型模拟了不同盐分胁迫下叶片净光合速率。与不考虑g_m的模拟结果相比,考虑g_m提高模拟值和实测值间的决定系数,并降低了平均绝对误差。棉花幼苗耐盐阈值为100～150 mmol·L^-1,随盐分浓度的增加,光合限制因素由叶肉因素转变为光合机构受损;引入g_m可以提高FvCB模型的模拟精度。     

粳稻生育后期剑叶光合日变化和光合色素对大气CO2浓度和温度升高的响应——FACE研究

为研究水稻叶片光合色素和光合日变化对大气CO₂浓度和气温升高的响应,我们采用在开放空气中控制升高CO₂浓度和温度的方法,以常规粳稻南粳9108为试验材料,设置了环境CO₂和高大气CO₂浓度(增加200 μmol·mol^-1)、环境温度和增温(增加1～2 ℃)交互的4个处理,测定了灌浆中期和后期水稻剑叶的光合日变化特征和光合色素含量.结果表明: 水稻剑叶净光合速率(P_n)为双峰曲线,发生了光合“午休”现象;大气CO₂浓度升高提高了剑叶P_n,灌浆中期和后期平均分别增加了47.6%和39.1%;高温有降低P_n的趋势,但相关性未达到显著水平.大气CO₂浓度和温度升高导致水稻剑叶生育后期气孔导度(g_s)平均分别降低了17.0%和11.8%.高CO₂浓度水稻剑叶生育后期蒸腾速率(T_r)、叶绿素a、叶绿素b、类胡萝卜素、总叶绿素和叶绿素a/b值显著降低,平均降幅分别为5.9%、50.4%、21.3%、41.4%、39.4%和21.4%,明显增加了剑叶水分利用率(WUE),平均增幅达47.9%.与之相反,生育后期增温使水稻剑叶T_r增加了10.2%,使WUE平均降低了20.4%.综上所述,大气CO₂浓度升高对粳稻生育后期剑叶P_n、g_s和光合色素含量的影响明显大于增温效应.因此,应重视大气CO₂浓度和温度对水稻光合作用和光合色素的综合效应,减弱增温的负效应.

Trade-off between leaf size and vein density of Achnatherum splendens in Zhangye wetland

Aims Trade-offs between leaf size and vein density are the basis of the theory of leaf economics spectrum, and are to understand the relationship between the physical build and physiological metabolism of plant leaves under different degrees of competition for resources. Our objective was to study the changes in the relationship between leaf size and vein density (leaf dry biomass and leaf area) in Achnatherum splendens populations with four plant bundle densities located in the flood plain wetland of Zhangye. Methods The study site was located at floodplain wetlands of Zhangye, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out in the communities that A. splendens dominated. According to the plant bundle density, the A. splendens communities were divided into four density gradients with “bundle” for the sampling units, high density (I, > 12 bundle·m^-2), medium density (II, 8-12 bundle·m^-2), medium density (III, 4-8 bundle·m^-2) and Low density (IV, <4 bundle·m^-2). According to the density of each combination, we chose seven (5 m × 5 m) A. splendens samples, resulting in a total of 28 samples (4 × 7). The soil physical and chemical properties of four density gradients were investigated and six samples of A. splendens were used to measure the leaf area, leaf dry biomass and vein density in laboratory, and biomass of different organs was measured after being dried at 85 °C in an oven. 28 plots were categorized into three groups: high, medium and low density, and the standardized major axis (SMA) estimation method was used to examine the allometric relationships between leaf area, leaf dry biomass and vein density. Important findings The results showed that with the population density changed from high, medium, to low, the soil moisture decreased, and soil electric conductivityincreased. The leaf area, leaf biomass and height of A. splendens decreased, and the vein density, specific leaf area and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) increased gradually. In addition, leaf net photosynthetic rate (P_n), transpiration rate (T_r) and twig number firstly increased then decreased. There was a highly significantly negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the leaf size and vein density on the high- and low-level densities (I, IV), whereas less significant (p < 0.05) on the level of medium density (II, III). The SMA slope of regression equation in the scaling relationships between leaf size and vein density was significantly smaller than -1 (p < 0.05).     

Empirical relationship between specific leaf area and thermal dissipation of Phragmites australis in salt marshes of Qinwangchuan

Aims The correlation between specific leaf area (SLA) and thermal dissipation reflects not only the accumulation and dissipation of plant photosynthesis, but also plants’ adaptation to their habitats and changing environment. The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between SLA and thermal dissipation of reed (Phragmites australis) under different soil moisture conditions and salt contents.Methods Our study site was located in the National Wetland Park in Qinwangchuan, Gansu Province, China. Our sampling site extends from the edge to the central of a salt marsh where the reed was the single dominant species. The study site was divided into three zones based on the distance from the water. Within each zone, six 2 m × 2 m sampling plots were randomly located to select six reed individuals in each plot (total = 18). Vegetation height, aboveground biomass, soil moisture, and soil electrical conductivity (EC) were measured, with the six reed individuals taken to the laboratory to measure leaf thickness. Leaf net photosynthetic rate (P_n), transpiration rate (T_r), and other parameters of the reeds were also measured in each plot prior to harvesting. Quantitative measures of chlorophyll fluorescence were taken after 30-min dark adaptation. Quadrat survey method was used to model the empirical relationship between the transpiration rate and leaf characteristics.Important findings Vegetation height and aboveground biomass increased with soil moisture content, but EC and photosynthetically active radiation decreased. Leaf area, T_r and P_n increased along the gradient, leaf thickness showed decreasing, but the increasing trend of SLA switched to a decreasing trend, while leaf dry mass presented an opposite trend. From plot I to III, the quantum yield of regulated energy dissipation (Y(NPQ)) and non-photochemical quenching decreased, the actual photochemical efficiency of PSII and photochemical quenching increased, and quantum yield of non-regulated energy dissipation increased before decreasing. There appeared a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between SLA and Y(NPQ) at plot I and III, and a less significant negative correlation (p < 0.05) at plot II. Along the soil moisture gradient, reed seemed using light effectively by changing leaf thermal dissipation through adjusting their leaf size and SLA—A potential self-protection mechanism in light of adapting the habitat.     

基于超声清洗的树木叶面颗粒物粒径分布与吸滞效率研究——以银杏和油松为例

明确在常规叶片清洗方法(泡洗或泡洗+刷洗)上增加超声清洗对叶面各径级颗粒物滞纳量定量评估的影响, 并在此基础上研究叶面颗粒物的粒径分布和吸滞效率, 可进一步提高城市树木大气颗粒物吸滞能力的定量评估精度。该文以城市森林建设常用阔叶树种银杏(Ginkgo biloba)和针叶树种油松(Pinus tabuliformis)为研究对象, 于雨后(降水量>15 mm) 4天(短滞尘时长)和14天(长滞尘时长)分别采集叶样, 并依次对其进行泡洗(WC)、刷洗(BC)、超声清洗(UC)等洗脱程序, 然后对每个清洗步骤下叶片洗脱液中颗粒物的质量和粒径分布进行测试, 并依此估算叶片各径级颗粒物的吸滞效率。结果表明, 以“泡洗+刷洗+超声清洗”清洗流程的测试结果为参照, 若只对叶片进行泡洗, 则银杏和油松对大气颗粒物(PM₁, 粒径d ≤1 µm)、PM_2.5 (d ≤ 2.5 µm)、PM₅ (d ≤ 5 µm)、PM₁₀ (d ≤ 10 µm)吸滞量会分别被低估约一半(54%、53%、53%和53%)和40% (42%、42%、42%和42%); 若只进行“泡洗+刷洗”, 则银杏和油松对相应径级颗粒物的吸滞量仍会分别被低估约15% (17%、16%、15%和15%)和20% (21%、20%、20%和20%)。油松叶面颗粒物粒径分布呈双峰曲线, 而银杏叶面颗粒物粒径则呈单峰分布, 且银杏叶面颗粒物平均粒径在短、长滞尘时长下均大于油松。油松叶片对PM₁、PM_2.5、PM₅、PM₁₀和总悬浮颗粒物的吸滞效率分别为8.96、23.92、23.96、23.96和23.96 mg·m^-2·d^-1, 分别比银杏叶片高112%、73%、34%、37%和42%。     

植被光合呼吸模型在千烟洲亚热带常绿针叶林的优化及验证

碳循环模型参数的确定和优化对生态系统净CO₂交换(NEE)的模型计算至关重要。该文利用2010-2012年ChinaFLUX千烟洲站点的通量观测资料, 对植被光合呼吸模型(VPRM)的参数进行了优化。通过比较两种不同的拟合方案, 发现利用传统光响应方程得到的参数不适用于VPRM, 而利用模型自身反演方案拟合得到的参数最大光量子效率(λ)达0.203, 大于C₃植物平均值, 但与其他相关研究结果吻合。采用VPRM模型反演方案优化得到的参数后, VPRM能较准确地模拟千烟洲站不同季节的NEE。其对全年半小时NEE模拟的平均误差为-0.86 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 相关系数为0.72。模型可准确地模拟生长旺季NEE平均日变化, 但低估了非生长旺季白天吸收峰值约52%。通过个例分析发现, VPRM模型可以准确模拟晴天条件下NEE的时间变化, 但对阴雨天条件下NEE的模拟还存在较大的不确定性。该研究将有助于进一步改进CO₂通量及浓度的区域数值模拟。     

Correlation between vein density and water use efficiency of Salix matsudana in Zhangye Wetland,China

Aims The correlation between vein density and water use efficiency (WUE) affects the balance between water supply and demand of plant leaves, which is significant for comprehending the ecological adaptation strategies of plants. The objective of this study was to study how Salix matsudana modulated vein density and WUE along a soil moisture gradient in Zhangye Wetland, China. Methods The study was conducted in floodplain wetland near Heihe River in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, China. Three sample plots, at a spatial interval of 70 m, were set up along a soil moisture gradient ordinally from the area near the water body to the wetland edge, plot I (69.23%), spot II (48.38%) and spot III (35.27%). Community traits were investigated by using diagonal method, and all individuals of S. matsudana were used for measurements of height and canopy. At each plot, 5 individuals of S. matsudana at 4 vertices and diagonal intersection were selected for measurements of vein density, WUE, net photosynthetic rate (P_n), transpiration rate (T_r), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), saturated vapor pressure differences (VPD), specific leaf area, stomatal conductance (G_s) and intercellular CO₂ concentration (C_i). We used mathematical methods of correlation analysis and standardized major axis to investigate relationships between vein density and WUE. Important findings With decreasing soil moisture, the height, canopy, specific leaf area, G_s and C_i of S. matsudana decreased gradually, while the vein density, WUE, P_n, T_r, PAR and VPD increased gradually. The correlation between vein density and WUE was positive in all the three plots, but the relationship varied along the soil moisture plots gradient. There was a highly significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) between the vein density and WUE at plot I and III, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at plot II; The correlation coefficient between vein density and WUE is significantly smaller than 1 at plot I (p < 0.05), while the correlation coefficient is significant greater than 1 at plot II and III (p < 0.05). We can conclude that varied relationships between vein density and WUE of S. matsudana along a soil moisture gradient could reflect plant acclimation.     

NaCl处理下两种引进红树的光合及抗氧化防御能力

在长期盐胁迫(28天, NaCl浓度从100 mmol·L^-1升至400 mmol·L^-1)下, 比较研究了引进的无瓣海桑(Sonneratia apetala)和拉关木(Laguncularia racemosa)幼苗叶片的气体交换、叶绿素含量、最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、O₂^-_· 产生速率以及抗氧化酶的活性, 探讨了两种红树幼苗光合、抗氧化防御能力的差异与耐盐性的关系。结果显示: NaCl处理没有明显地影响两种红树幼苗的生长, 表明盐生植物对盐环境的适应性, 但两种红树的生理反应对NaCl处理存在较大的差异。在实验的第28天(苗木的NaCl累计处理浓度递增到400 mmol·L^-1)时, 与对照相比, 无瓣海桑叶片的净光合速率、水分利用效率增加, 气孔导度、蒸腾速率和胞间CO₂浓度/大气CO₂浓度(C_i/C_a)相应降低; 然而, 拉关木叶的净光合速率、蒸腾速率和水分利用效率均回落到对照的水平, 而气孔导度和C_i/C_a均增加, 表明同样的NaCl浓度处理对拉关木叶的净光合速率影响大于无瓣海桑。在NaCl处理期间, 无瓣海桑F_v/F_m一直保持在0.8以上, 而拉关木的F_v/F_m为0.75以下, 说明无瓣海桑具有高于拉关木的潜在最大光合能力。在实验的第7天(NaCl浓度为100 mmol·L^-1)和14天(苗木的NaCl累计处理浓度递增到200 mmol·L^-1)时, 两种红树O₂^-_· 产生速率迅速增加, 在实验的第28天(苗木的NaCl累计处理浓度递增到400 mmol·L^-1)时, 无瓣海桑O₂^-_· 产生速率是对照的5.3倍, 差异极显著, 此时, 拉关木叶中O₂^-_· 产生速率已降低到低于对照的水平。盐处理诱导了两种红树叶中抗氧化酶(超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)、过氧化物酶(POD))活性增加, 但拉关木增加的幅度大于无瓣海桑, 表明拉关木能响应盐胁迫并上调抗氧化酶活性, 降低盐诱导的膜脂过氧化, 提高耐盐的能力, 无瓣海桑通过提高水分利用效率来保持体内的水分, 同时, 保持PSII的最大光化学量子产量, 使得无瓣海桑在高盐处理时仍能保持高于对照水平的光合速率。     

遮阴对闽楠叶绿素含量和光合特性的影响

为探讨闽楠对不同光环境的光合适应机制,以2年生闽楠幼苗为材料,设置3个光照处理(全光照、遮光率50%和遮光率78%),适应6个月后,测定其叶绿素含量、气体交换和叶绿素荧光同步数据,研究不同光环境处理对闽楠叶片叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数和光合特性的影响.结果表明: 3种光照处理下,闽楠叶片叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素(a+b)和类胡萝卜素含量大小次序为78%遮光率>50%遮光率>全光照,但不同光照处理对闽楠叶绿素a/b值没有显著影响.遮阴条件下,闽楠叶片光补偿点(LCP)降低,光饱和点(LSP)和表观量子效率(AQY)升高,说明遮阴条件下闽楠叶片对弱光和强光的利用能力均有所提高;最大净光合速率(P_{n max})、光下暗呼吸速率(R_d)和最大电子传递速率(J_max)均增大.在不同处理间,闽楠叶片净光合速率(P_n)、CO₂气孔导度(g_sc)、胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)和叶肉导度(g_m)均存在显著差异.P_n和g_m的大小顺序为: 78%遮光率>50%遮光率>全光照.78%遮光率处理下g_sc显著大于全光照.50%遮光率条件和78%遮光率条件下C_i均显著小于全光照.78%遮光率条件下PSⅡ实际光量子产量(F_v′/F_m′)、PSⅡ光化学效率(Φ_PSⅡ)和电子传递速率(J)均显著大于50%遮光率条件和全光照.由此可知,在遮阴条件下闽楠可以通过增加叶绿素含量、AQY、J、g_sc和g_m来增大光合能力.
