水位波动对南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊种内及种间关系的影响

以外来入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊和本地近缘种蟛蜞菊为对象,通过温室模拟3种水位波动模式(水位无波动,水位波动模式分别为15 cm-0 cm-15 cm和0 cm-15 cm-0 cm)交叉5种定植模式(试验容器内分别为入侵种单株、本土种单株、入侵种6株、本土种6株以及2物种各3株混种)的试验,研究水位波动对入侵植物和本地近缘种生长繁殖性状及种内种间相互作用的影响.结果表明: 水位波动显著降低了南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊的总生物量、茎生物量、叶生物量、根生物量、茎长、节点数、叶片数及叶面积,对南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊种内及种间竞争系数的影响均显著.水位波动改变了南美蟛蜞菊的种内和种间竞争关系,说明入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊对水位波动更为敏感,对环境改变表现出更强的适应性.     

入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊和本土蟛蜞菊生长对土壤养分的响应

植物入侵对全球生态系统造成了严重威胁,土壤养分条件(养分水平和养分异质性)对外来植物的成功入侵有重要影响。为了探讨土壤养分条件对入侵植物与同属本地植物生长的影响,本研究以入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata)和同属本地种蟛蜞菊(W.chinensis)为试验材料开展了温室控制实验。实验设置了低、中、高及异质性养分条件下的单种和混种两种种植方式,测定了每种植物总生物量,根、茎、叶生物量及分节数、根冠比等指标,并分析了土壤养分对二者生长的影响。结果表明:土壤养分水平增加显著促进了南美蟛蜞菊和本地蟛蜞菊的生长;土壤养分异质性显著增加了南美蟛蜞菊根生物量和根冠比,显著增加了本地蟛蜞菊的总生物量、根生物量和茎生物量;土壤养分水平和养分异质性对南美蟛蜞菊和本地蟛蜞菊的竞争响应均无显著影响;在土壤养分较高或较低时南美蟛蜞菊更容易入侵成功;在异质养分环境中,当南美蟛蜞菊生长处于高养斑块时更容易入侵成功。     

Effects of clonal integration on allelopathy of invasive plant Wedelia trilobata under heterogeneous light conditions

异质光照条件下克隆整合对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊化感作用的影响 植物入侵已成为全球生态系统最严重的威胁之一。当具有克隆生长能力的入侵植物入侵或定殖到新的生境时,它们相互连接的分株可能受到异质光照的影响。在异质光照条件下,克隆整合对入侵植物化感作用的影响尚不清楚。为研究异质光照条件下克隆整合对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata) 化感作用的影响,采用两个连续分株的克隆片段进行了盆栽试验。较老的分株暴露在全光下,而年轻的分株则受到20%的全光照。同时,每个克隆片段的年轻分株与目标植株(一个番茄苗)在盆栽中相邻生长。南美蟛蜞菊的两个连续分株之间的匍匐茎设置切断和不切断两种处理。另外,两株番茄幼苗 (一株作为目标植株)在盆栽中相邻生长作为对照。研究结果表明,当与目标植物相邻生长的南美蟛蜞菊分株之间的匍匐茎保持完整时,目标植株的生物量积累、叶片叶绿素和氮含量、叶绿素荧光参数和净光合速率及其根长和活性相较于匍匐茎切断处理显著降低。异质光照条件下连续两个分株之间碳水化合物的运输或共享可以增强20%全光处理下年轻分株的化感作用。克隆整合在异质光照条件下对具有克隆生长能力的入侵植物的入侵或定殖具有重要意义。     

不同氮水平下内生固氮菌对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊生长策略的影响

很多因素可以影响外来植物的入侵性,其中内生菌可能扮演了极其重要的角色。为了探究内生固氮菌对入侵植物生长策略的影响,本研究分别在高和低两种氮水平下,种植接种和不接种内生固氮菌的入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊(Sphagneticola trilobata)和同属本地植物蟛蜞菊(S. calendulacea),对比研究它们的生长和氮含量。从南美蟛蜞菊茎段分离出内生固氮菌Kosakonia sp. WTB-JS007,发现其对南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊这两种植物生长策略的影响存在显著差异,且这种差异不受氮水平的影响。在低氮处理下,接种WTB-JS007对蟛蜞菊的生长及植株氮含量没有显著影响,但显著提高了南美蟛蜞菊的地上生物量(30.48%),促进了匍匐茎的伸长,减少了地下生物量(56.58%),并提高了植株总氮含量(47.51%)。类似地,在高氮水平下,内生固氮菌亦显著影响南美蟛蜞菊地上部分的生长,但对蟛蜞菊生长的影响不显著。这些结果表明,内生固氮菌对入侵和非入侵植物生长、生物量分配及氮获取的影响存在显著差异,而这种生长策略的差异有利于入侵植物地上部分的快速生长与扩张,从而提高其入侵性。     

丛枝菌根真菌对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊生长及竞争力的影响

【背景】丛枝菌根真菌(arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)能促进植物的养分吸收及生长发育。入侵中国华南地区的外来入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata)常分布于养分匮乏的荒地,却能迅速生长并排挤本地植物而快速扩张领地。【目的】探究丛枝菌根真菌是否促进南美蟛蜞菊的生长与竞争能力。【方法】采用南美蟛蜞菊及其同属本地植物蟛蜞菊(Wedelia chinensis)的盆栽对比控制试验,并设置接种及不接种AMF变形球囊霉(Glomus versiforme)、不同磷营养水平以及单种或混种的种植方式3种处理对两种植物的生长及竞争能力进行比较。【结果】AMF均能侵染上述两种植物,并且AMF对南美蟛蜞菊根系的侵染率显著高于其对蟛蜞菊根系的侵染,尤其是在低磷水平下南美蟛蜞菊的菌根侵染率更高,而且AMF的侵染显著促进了低磷水平下南美蟛蜞菊的生长及其对蟛蜞菊的竞争能力。【结论】丛枝菌根真菌能够促进南美蟛蜞菊的生长,增强其对本地植物的竞争优势,该效应很可能对外来植物南美蟛蜞菊的成功入侵产生一定的作用。     

番茄对不同养分水平下南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊化感作用的响应

外来入侵植物分泌的化感物质能够影响本地植物的生长生理特性,养分水平对入侵植物的化感潜力有重要影响。该文通过将番茄植株分别与同种番茄、南美蟛蜞菊、蟛蜞菊植株相邻原位种植,以15%、25%、50%、75%的Hoagland培养液模拟不同养分水平开展温室控制实验,探究在不同养分水平下入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊及其亲缘植物蟛蜞菊的化感作用对本地植物番茄叶绿素荧光参数及生物量的影响。结果表明:(1)番茄在75%养分水平下的叶绿素荧光参数和生物量显著优于其余3个养分水平。(2)随着养分水平降低,番茄叶片的PSⅡ最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、PSⅡ实际光合量子产量[Y(Ⅱ)]、光化学淬灭系数(qp)及植株的总生物量显著减少,非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)和植株根系生物量的分配比例增加。(3)在25% Hoagland培养液处理下,与南美蟛蜞菊混植番茄的F_v/F_m、Y(Ⅱ)、qp和总生物量显著低于与蟛蜞菊混植番茄,NPQ和根系生物量的分配比例显著高于与蟛蜞菊混植番茄。综上结果说明南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊可能通过根系分泌化感物质抑制番茄的生长发育,且南美蟛蜞菊的化感作用强于蟛蜞菊,而增加栽培基质中的养分水平可以显著降低南美蟛蜞菊和蟛蜞菊对番茄的化感胁迫作用。     

入侵植物飞机草和南美蟛蜞菊种子萌发特征对热带珊瑚岛生境的响应

入侵植物对热带珊瑚岛植被及生态系统产生严重威胁,研究热带珊瑚岛生境下入侵植物的种子萌发特征,可为预判入侵植物在热带珊瑚岛的扩张潜力提供科学依据。该研究以入侵植物飞机草(Eupatorium odoratum)、南美蟛蜞菊(Sphagneticola trilobata)和原生植物林泽兰(E. lindleyanum)种子为对象,通过“人为增温3℃+海砂基质+水”模拟热带珊瑚岛生境,测定种子萌发性状。结果表明：飞机草种子萌发性状主要受海砂基质和增温的影响;南美蟛蜞菊和林泽兰种子萌发性状则主要受海砂基质的影响。在热带珊瑚岛生境下,3种植物的繁殖潜力均显著低于大陆生境,飞机草和南美蟛蜞菊繁殖潜力降幅尤为显著。飞机草种子扩张潜力与林泽兰相当,但南美蟛蜞菊种子扩张潜力显著高于林泽兰。虽然飞机草和南美蟛蜞菊被人为带入热带珊瑚岛后的繁殖潜力有所下降,但其种子萌发特征对珊瑚岛生境的适应性和高于原生物种的扩张潜力均表明这2种入侵植物将对珊瑚岛植被生态系统造成威胁,在今后的研究中应当着重关注热带珊瑚岛生境入侵植物的防控工作。     

土壤养分异质性和种间竞争对互花米草和芦苇生长繁殖特性的影响

土壤养分异质性在自然界中普遍存在。土壤养分异质性对克隆植物生长繁殖有一定影响,但耦合竞争对入侵植物和本土植物生长繁殖影响的研究却相对匮乏。以入侵克隆植物互花米草和本土克隆植物芦苇为研究对象,通过温室控制实验模拟设置了土壤养分同质和养分异质处理(保证两种土壤的总养分含量相同),交叉3种定植模式(实验容器内单植入侵种6株,单植本土种6株以及两物种各3株交替种植),探究土壤养分异质性和种间竞争对入侵种互花米草和本土种芦苇生长繁殖的影响。结果表明:土壤养分异质性显著降低了互花米草的单株叶片数,而增加了其单株节间长以及芦苇的单株根状茎长;种间竞争模式下,互花米草的单株分株数,以及两种植物的单株节间长、根状茎节数和根状茎长都显著高于单植模式,而芦苇的单株地上生物量、叶生物量、茎生物量都显著低于单植模式;土壤养分异质性和种间竞争对互花米草单株的叶片数和茎生物量产生了显著的交互作用,而对芦苇各指标无显著影响。这些结果说明,土壤养分异质性可以影响互花米草与芦苇的种间竞争关系。     

土壤灭菌处理对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊及其伴生种生长的影响

该研究以温室盆栽法对南美蟛蜞菊重度入侵土壤进行高温高压湿热灭菌、添加杀真菌剂灭菌和添加杀细菌剂灭菌的处理后,将三种植株定植96 d后测定各生理指标参数,研究重度入侵土壤中各微生物类群对南美蟛蜞菊及其伴生种金腰箭和狗肝菜生长的影响。结果表明:在杀真菌、杀细菌以及高温高压湿热灭菌和未处理的南美蟛蜞菊重度入侵土壤中,三种植物生长情况均存在较大差异。在高温高压湿热灭菌土壤中南美蟛蜞菊的生长受到显著抑制,与未处理土壤中的生长情况相比,株高降低了17.59%,叶片数降低了38.10%,生物量降低了56.00%,电子传递速率变化不明显。在杀真菌土壤和杀细菌土壤中金腰箭的生长也受到显著抑制,与未处理土壤中的生长情况相比较,杀真菌土壤中的金腰箭株高降低最多(为42.28%),叶片数降低了38.89%,生物量降低了16.99%,电子传递速率变化不明显;在杀细菌土壤中金腰箭株高降低了36.64%,叶片数降低最多(为38.89%),生物量降低了33.67%,电子传递速率升高了11.11%。由此可见,不含微生物的土壤对南美蟛蜞菊生长有较强的抑制作用,不含真菌和细菌的土壤对金腰箭的生长有明显抑制作用。南美蟛蜞菊重度入侵土壤不仅适合南美蟛蜞菊的生长,也适合金腰箭的生长,对狗肝菜影响不大。     

种间竞争对入侵植物和本地植物生长的影响

为了探讨入侵植物与本地同属和异属植物之间的关系,本研究以入侵植物喜旱莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)、三裂叶蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata)和本地植物莲子草(A.sessilis)、蟛蜞菊(W.chinensis)为试验材料开展了温室控制实验。实验设置了单种种植和混种种植两种方式,测定了每种植物生物量及其他生长指标,并分析了种间关系。结果表明:(1)对入侵植物而言,同属和异属种间竞争均增加了喜旱莲子草的生物量、根冠比和分节数,而降低了三裂叶蟛蜞菊的株高和分节数;(2)对本地植物而言,同属种间竞争降低了莲子草的株高和蟛蜞菊的分节数,异属种间竞争增加了莲子草的生物量、株高和分枝数,而降低了蟛蜞菊的总生物量和株高;(3)同属种间竞争对入侵种喜旱莲子草具有促进作用,异属种间竞争对本地种莲子草也具有促进作用,同属和异属种间竞争对其他两个物种的影响不大。未来应加强野外原位下入侵植物与本地植物研究,为入侵植物防控提供理论依据。     

Light limitation and litter of an invasive clonal plant,Wedelia trilobata,inhibit its seedling recruitment

Background and Aims

Invasive clonal plants have two reproduction patterns, namely sexual and vegetative propagation. However, seedling recruitment of invasive clonal plants can decline as the invasion process proceeds. For example, although the invasive clonal Wedelia trilobata (Asteraceae) produces numerous seeds, few seedlings emerge under its dense population canopy in the field. In this study it is hypothesized that light limitation and the presence of a thick layer of its own litter may be the primary factors causing the failure of seedling recruitment for this invasive weed in the field.

Methods

A field survey was conducted to determine the allocation of resources to sexual reproduction and seedling recruitment in W. trilobata. Seed germination was also determined in the field. Effects of light and W. trilobata leaf extracts on seed germination and seedling growth were tested in the laboratory.

Key Results

Wedelia trilobata blooms profusely and produces copious viable seeds in the field. However, seedlings of W. trilobata were not detected under mother ramets and few emerged seedlings were found in the bare ground near to populations. In laboratory experiments, low light significantly inhibited seed germination. Leaf extracts also decreased seed germination and inhibited seedling growth, and significant interactions were found between low light and leaf extracts on seed germination. However, seeds were found to germinate in an invaded field after removal of the W. trilobata plant canopy.

Conclusions

The results indicate that lack of light and the presence of its own litter might be two major factors responsible for the low numbers of W. trilobata seedlings found in the field. New populations will establish from seeds once the limiting factors are eliminated, and seeds can be the agents of long-distance dispersal; therefore, prevention of seed production remains an important component in controlling the spread of this invasive clonal plant.     

Fluctuated water depth with high nutrient concentrations promote the invasiveness of Wedelia trilobata in Wetland

The distribution of invasive and native species in wetlands is determined by hydrological conditions; whereas conditions such as water depth fluctuations, variations in the nutrient concentrations are expected to affect the growth and physiological traits of plants. For the assessment of such effects, we conduct greenhouse experiment with three factors; 1) water depth of 5 cm and 15 cm (static and fluctuated); 2) three levels of nutrient concentrations (i) full‐strength Hoagland solution (N1), (ii) ¼‐strength Hoagland solution (N2), and (iii) ¹/₈‐strength Hoagland solution (N3); and 3) species, invasive Wedelia trilobata (L.) and its congener, native Wedelia chinensis (Osbeck.) under mono and mixed culture. Water depth of 5 cm combined with any of the nutrient treatments significantly restrained the photosynthesis, intracellular CO₂ concentration and leaf chlorophyll of both W. trilobata and W. chinensis. Increase in the water depth to 15 cm with low‐nutrient treatment N3 did not sustain the physiological traits of W. chinensis under mono and mixed planting. A great loss was noted in the growth of W. chinensis at 15 cm static and fluctuated water depth with low‐nutrient treatment (N3) and under mixed culture. In addition, water depth fluctuations with both low‐ and high‐nutrient treatments significantly affected the root‐shoot ratio, relative growth rate, and interspecific interaction among these two species. W. trilobata benefited more from competitive interaction index (CII) under fluctuated water depth at 15 cm with high nutrients, and the value of CII was clearly positive. Therefore, higher competitive ability may contribute to the invasiveness of W. trilobata in wetlands.     

Trade-offs among growth, clonal, and sexual reproduction in an invasive plant Spartina alterniflora responding to inundation and clonal integration

The purpose of this article was to study the trade-offs among vegetative growth, clonal, and sexual reproduction in an aquatic invasive weed Spartina alterniflora that experienced different inundation depths and clonal integration. Here, the rhizome connections between mother and daughter ramets were either severed or left intact. Subsequently, these clones were flooded with water levels of 0, 9, and 18 cm above the soil surface. Severing rhizomes decreased growth and clonal reproduction of daughter ramets, and increased those of mother ramets grown in shallow and deep water. The daughter ramets disconnected from mother ramets did not flower, while sexual reproduction of mother ramets was not affected by severing. Clonal integration only benefited the total rhizome length, rhizome biomass, and number of rhizomes of the whole clones in non-inundation conditions. Furthermore, growth and clonal reproduction of mother, daughter ramets, and the whole clone decreased with inundation depth, whereas sexual reproduction of mother ramets and the whole clones increased. We concluded that the trade-offs among growth, clonal, and sexual reproduction of S. alterniflora would be affected by inundation depth, but not by clonal integration.     

施氮对空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)和莲子草(Alternanthera sessilis)种间关系的影响

自然界的氮素释放总是呈现出空间和时间上的异质性,但关于异质性氮释放对于入侵植物和本地植物种间关系影响的研究相对较少。将入侵植物空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)和同属本地植物莲子草(Alternanthera sessilis)分别进行单种种植(12株,无种间竞争)和混种种植(每种6株,有种间竞争),模拟大气氮湿沉降设置由两种不同施氮总量(15g N m~(-2)a~(-1)和30g N m~(-2)a~(-1))和两种不同施氮频率(每5天1次和每15天1次)交叉组成的4种施氮处理,并以不施氮为对照。施氮总量的增加显著促进了两种植物的生长,但对两种植物的种间竞争关系没有显著影响。施氮频率对两种植物的生长以及种间竞争关系都没有显著影响。两种植物在面对竞争时表现出不同的生物量分配策略,空心莲子草将更多的生物量分配到茎,而莲子草将更多的生物量分配到根。在全球变化的背景下,大气氮湿沉降可能会改变两种植物的种群结构和动态,但可能对这两种植物的种间关系影响较小。     

Combined effects of resource heterogeneity and simulated herbivory on plasticity of clonal integration in a rhizomatous perennial herb

Previous lines of investigation assuming potential advantage of clonal integration generally have neglected its plasticity in complex heterogeneous environments. Clonal plants adaptively respond to abiotic heterogeneity (patchy resource distribution) and herbivory‐induced heterogeneity (within‐clone heterogeneity in ramet performance), but to date little is known about how resource heterogeneity and simulated herbivory jointly affect the overall performance of clones. Partial damage within a clone caused by herbivory might create herbivory‐induced heterogeneity in a resource‐homogeneous environment, and might also decrease or increase the extent of heterogeneity under resource‐heterogeneous conditions. We conducted a greenhouse experiment in which target‐ramets of Leymus chinensis segments within homogeneous or heterogeneous nutrient treatments were subject to clipping (0% or 75% shoot removal). In homogeneous environments with high (9:9) nutrient availability, ramet biomass of L. chinensis with intact or severed rhizomes is 0.70 or 0.69 g. Conversely, target‐ramet biomass with intact rhizomes is obviously lower than that of the severed target‐ramets in the homogeneous environments with medium (5:5) and low (1:1) nutrient availability. High resource availability and the presence of herbivory can alleviate negative effects of rhizome connection under homogeneous conditions, by providing copious resource or creating herbivory‐induced heterogeneity respectively. Herbivory tolerance of clonal fragments with connected rhizomes was higher than that of fragments with severed rhizomes under heterogeneous conditions. These findings confirmed the unconditional advantage of clonal integration on reproduction under the combined influence of resource heterogeneity and simulated herbivory. Moreover, our results made clear the synergistically interactive effects of resource heterogeneity and simulated herbivory on costs and benefits of clonal integration. This will undoubtedly advance our understanding on the plasticity of clonal integration under complex environmental conditions.     

Clonal integration benefits invasive alien plants under water variability in a native community

Aims Many invasive alien plant species are clonal and can greatly propagate and spread through clonal integration (sharing resources between connected ramets) in heterogeneous and variable environments. Here, we tested whether water variability influences clonal integration of invasive alien plant species and consequently facilitates their growth and dominance in a native community.     

An Invasive Clonal Plant Benefits from Clonal Integration More than a Co-Occurring Native Plant in Nutrient-Patchy and Competitive Environments

Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, however, little is known about the different roles of clonal integration effects between invasive and native plants. Here, we hypothesize that clonal integration affect growth, photosynthetic performance, biomass allocation and thus competitive ability of invasive and native clonal plants, and invasive clonal plants benefit from clonal integration more than co-occurring native plants in heterogeneous habitats. To test these hypotheses, two stoloniferous clonal plants, Alternanthera philoxeroides (invasive), Jussiaea repens (native) were studied in China. The apical parts of both species were grown either with or without neighboring vegetation and the basal parts without competitors were in nutrient- rich or -poor habitats, with stolon connections were either severed or kept intact. Competition significantly reduced growth and photosynthetic performance of the apical ramets in both species, but not the biomass of neighboring vegetation. Without competition, clonal integration greatly improved the growth and photosynthetic performance of both species, especially when the basal parts were in nutrient-rich habitats. When grown with neighboring vegetation, growth of J. repens and photosynthetic performance of both species were significantly enhanced by clonal integration with the basal parts in both nutrient-rich and -poor habitats, while growth and relative neighbor effect (RNE) of A. philoxeroides were greatly improved by clonal integration only when the basal parts were in nutrient-rich habitats. Moreover, clonal integration increased A. philoxeroides''s biomass allocation to roots without competition, but decreased it with competition, especially when the basal ramets were in nutrient-rich sections. Effects of clonal integration on biomass allocation of J. repens was similar to that of A. philoxeroides but with less significance. These results supported our hypothesis that invasive clonal plants A. philoxeroides benefits from clonal integration more than co-occurring native J. repens, suggesting that the invasiveness of A. philoxeroides may be closely related to clonal integration in heterogeneous environments.     

不同邻居物种的基因型多样性对冷蒿生长的影响

植物物种多样性与基因型多样性对群落的结构和功能具有重要的生态作用,近年来植物基因型多样性对植物间相互作用的影响已成为研究者关心的重要科学问题。实验选择退化草原优势种冷蒿(Artemisia frigida)为目标植物,稳定群落建群种羊草(Leymus chinensis)和群落伴生种洽草(Koeleria cristata)为邻居植物,来研究基因型多样性不同的邻居植物对冷蒿生长表现(株高、地上生物量、地下生物量和总生物量)的影响,并通过测量植物相对竞争强度及邻居植物性状变异来进一步探究邻居植物基因型多样性对目标植物影响的内在机制。结果表明:(1)邻居物种为羊草时,基因型多样性对冷蒿的生长表现影响显著,当邻居为6基因型时,冷蒿的株高、地上生物量以及总生物量显著低于单基因型和3基因型时的表现(P0.05),且相对竞争强度高于其他两种处理;而邻居物种为洽草时,基因型多样性对冷蒿所有观测指标以及相对竞争强度的影响均不显著(P0.05)。(2)利用主成分分析法来分析基因型多样性对自身性状变异的影响发现,邻居物种为羊草时,基因型多样性对性状变异响应显著,主要表现为3基因型时,羊草种群的株高、总生物量、地上生物量显著高于单基因型时的表现(P0.05);而邻居物种为洽草时,基因型多样性对性状变异影响不显著(P0.05)。(3)邻居物种为羊草时,羊草总生物量和比叶面积与冷蒿的地上生物量和总生物量呈显著负相关(P0.05);邻居物种为洽草时,洽草各性状与冷蒿性状间无显著相关性(P0.05)。实验结果揭示,基因型多样性对目标植物生长的效应受邻居植物种类的影响,稳定群落建群种羊草高基因型组合能显著抑制冷蒿的生长,这可能与羊草高基因型多样性种群性状变异大且对冷蒿有较高的相对竞争强度有关。所得结果为建群种基因型多样性影响种间相互作用提供了实验证据,为草原的合理利用和保护提供了理论指导。     

丛枝菌根真菌促进南美蟛蜞菊生长及对难溶磷的吸收

为了解2种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)摩西管柄囊霉(Funneliformis mosseae, FM)和地表球囊霉(Glomus versiforme, GV)对入侵植物南美蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata)的生长和对难溶性磷酸盐利用的影响,采用沙培盆栽方式,研究了南美蟛蜞菊在接种AMF与添加难溶性磷酸盐的生长和磷含量的变化。结果表明,在磷限制环境下FM对南美蟛蜞菊的侵染率达55%～69%,GV的侵染率达到63%～80%。添加难溶性磷酸盐后,2种AMF均促进了南美蟛蜞菊茎的伸长(FM:+46%; GV:+65%)、总生物量的增加(FM:+27.2%; GV:+40%)和磷含量的增加(FM:+36.6%; GV:+40.7%)。对比FM,GV对植物利用难溶性磷有更显著的促进作用。因此,南美蟛蜞菊与2种AMF形成的共生体系可以促进植物生长和对营养资源的利用,提高对难溶性磷的吸收效率可能使得南美蟛蜞菊在营养贫乏的环境中更好地建立种群。
