Here we present a functional-structural plant model that integrates the growth of metamers into a growing, three-dimensional tree structure, and study the effects of different constraints and strategies on tree performance in different canopies. The tree is a three-dimensional system of connected metamers, and growth is defined by the flush probability of metamers. Tree growth was simulated for different canopy light environments. The result suggest that: the constraints result in an exponential, logistic and decay phase; a mono-layered-leaf crown results from self-shading in a closed canopy; a strong apical control results in slender trees like tall stature species; the interaction between weak apical control and light response results in a crown architecture and performance known from short stature species in closed forest; correlated leaf traits explain interspecific differences in growth, survival and adult stature. The model successfully unravels the interaction effects of different constraints and strategies on tree growth in different canopy light environments. 相似文献

Commercial height of the tree is a key variable for estimating the wood stock in tropical forests managed for timber production purposes. Most available measurement devices suffer limitations in this type of forest, promoting low precision measurements with high variation errors. The laser meter device appears as a viable alternative, as in addition to using trigonometric principles, it is not necessary that the device is close to the eyes of the meter to carry out the measurement. The device can be used to measure commercial height of trees on flat or sloping terrain, at different distances from the tree. However, there are no studies evaluating the precision of this device. The objective of this study was to determine the precision of the laser meter method for estimating the commercial height of trees, as compared to the actual measurement in a tropical forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Measurements were made on 300 trees with commercial height between 7 and 14 m. Actual commercial heights were measured with graduated ruler. Applied tests were paired t test, graphical analysis of residuals and calculations of bias statistics, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation of differences, and coefficient of determination (R2). Paired t test indicated that the mean of the heights measured by the laser meter is statistically equal to that of the graduated ruler. Measurements with laser meter did not show bias and had mean error of 0.0745. The standard deviation of the differences indicated dispersion of errors of 0.97, equal to that shown in the graduated rule. Laser meter presents an alternative method for estimating the commercial height of trees in tropical forest in the Brazilian Amazon. There was no tendency to underestimate or overestimate the commercial heights of trees. Use of the laser meter is potentially of use for measuring the commercial height of trees in tropical forests. 相似文献

天然针叶林在热带地区虽较为少见, 但其对维持热带地区的生物多样性和生境异质性具有特殊意义。在我国热带天然针叶林集中分布面积最大的海南霸王岭林区, 作者选择伴生阔叶树种优势度不同的两种典型南亚松(Pinus latteri)天然林(简称纯林和混交林), 采用点格局法分析了其林冠层、亚林层和林下层主要树种的空间分布格局及其关联性。结果表明: (1)纯林中林冠层的南亚松主要为聚集分布, 混交林中在较小尺度上为聚集分布, 在较大尺度上为随机分布。(2)纯林中亚林层树种在较小尺度上为聚集分布, 在较大尺度上为随机分布, 在混交林中主要为聚集分布。(3)纯林中林下层树种主要呈现为随机分布, 而在混交林中主要为聚集分布。(4)随着尺度的增加, 林冠层与其他两个层次的树种, 在纯林中表现出从空间无关联到正关联的变化趋势, 而在混交林中则表现出从空间无关联到负关联的变化趋势。(5)亚林层与林下层树种在各个尺度上都表现为空间正关联。由此可见, 热带天然针叶林中优势种南亚松对伴生阔叶树种的分布格局具有重要影响。 相似文献

Tropical forests on upland soils are assumed to be a methane (CH4) sink and a weak source of nitrous oxide (N2O), but studies of wetland forests have demonstrated that tree stems can be a substantial source of CH4, and recent evidence from temperate woodlands suggests that tree stems can also emit N2O. Here, we measured CH4 and N2O fluxes from the soil and from tree stems in a semi‐evergreen tropical forest on upland soil. To examine the influence of seasonality, soil abiotic conditions and substrate availability (litter inputs) on trace greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes, we conducted our study during the transition from the dry to the wet season in a long‐term litter manipulation experiment in Panama, Central America. Trace GHG fluxes were measured from individual stem bases of two common tree species and from soils beneath the same trees. Soil CH4 fluxes varied from uptake in the dry season to minor emissions in the wet season. Soil N2O fluxes were negligible during the dry season but increased markedly after the start of the wet season. By contrast, tree stem bases emitted CH4 and N2O throughout the study. Although we observed no clear effect of litter manipulation on trace GHG fluxes, tree species and litter treatments interacted to influence CH4 fluxes from stems and N2O fluxes from stems and soil, indicating complex relationships between tree species traits and decomposition processes that can influence trace GHG dynamics. Collectively, our results show that tropical trees can act as conduits for trace GHGs that most likely originate from deeper soil horizons, even when they are growing on upland soils. Coupled with the finding that the soils may be a weaker sink for CH4 than previously thought, our research highlights the need to reappraise trace gas budgets in tropical forests. 相似文献

美国德克萨斯州在2011年经历了史上最严重的干旱,这一事件造成约3亿多株树木死亡。在大时空尺度上(面积约9×10~6 hm~2,时间跨度近20年),基于近1800个森林样地,4次周期性调查中的约209663株树木,使用主成份分析(PCA)和广义线性混合效应模型(GLM)回归,对树木死亡的时空差异及其干旱强度与长度对树木死亡造成的中长期复杂影响进行了研究。采用树木密度、树木基面积、林地年龄、样地调查时间间隔作为树木间的竞争指标,分析了造成大旱前后周期水平和年度水平上的样地树木死亡差异的原因。综合分析了不同地理区域、树木种组、胸径大小和林地起源的4个划分标准下树木死亡对死亡率的相对贡献。结果表明:松属树木的死亡率最低(7.92%);高度低、胸径小的树木的死亡率较大,分别为29.79%和26.00%。人工林的树木死亡率(10.26%)低于天然林(13.47%);西海湾平原生态区树木的死亡率在干旱后达到最大(22.27%);西南区的树木死亡率在干旱后也达到最大(13.78%);海拔和纬度对树木死亡率影响不明显。德州东部森林整体死亡格局形成原因较为复杂,各地理区域、林地起源、树木大小和不同树种,... 相似文献

Root deformation in plantations of container-grown Scots pine trees: effects on root growth,tree stability and stem straightness 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Root system deformation was studied in 23 Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands in central Sweden. The study comprised both
plantations created with container-grown plants (Paperpot) and natural stands including young (7–9 year old) and older (19–24
year old) trees. Trees were measured with regards to distribution of roots, root deformation, stability, stem straightness
and wood properties in stumps. Root distribution was most uniform for naturally regenerated trees. Older trees generally showed
a better root distribution than young trees. The young planted trees displayed a high frequency of severely spiralled root
systems, while only a few of the older trees had spiralled root systems. No severe root deformations were observed on naturally
regenerated trees. Naturally regenerated trees were more stable than those which had been planted. Differences in bending
moment, when trees were pulled to an angle of 10°, were considerable between young planted and naturally regenerated trees,
but less pronounced for the older trees. Young planted trees had the highest frequency of severely crooked stem bases, while
naturally regenerated trees had the straightest mode of growth. Tensile strength in peripheral wood samples of the stumps
was substantially lower for planted than for naturally regenerated trees. Strain values to breakage of wood samples, taken
from the root collar and the central- and peripheral part of the stump were lower for planted trees. The conclusions from
this study are that root distribution, tree stability and stem straightness of planted Paperpot-grown trees will improve after
a certain time and approach the state of naturally regenerated trees. As trees grow older, early established crooked stem
bases will be compensated by radial growth and the tree will appear straighter. Inside the stem, however, problems may still
remain with abnormal fibre direction and compression wood together with inferior root strength due to fibre disturbances as
a result of spiralled roots.
