辽河三角洲植被生产功能的年际变化及其驱动因子分析

基于辽河三角洲14年的水稻(Oryza sativa)与玉米(Zea mays)产量、42年的芦苇(Phragmites australis)产量及相应的气候、农业人口、灌溉和施肥等资料,主要利用主成分分析、简单相关分析和偏相关分析,阐述了辽河三角洲3种主要植被生产功能的年际变化及其驱动因子。结果表明:玉米和水稻的单产呈弱上升趋势,但年际间波动较大;芦苇单产则呈显著上升趋势,但年际间波动不大。气候因子是玉米和水稻产量年际间变化的主要驱动因子,而人为因子(农业人口、灌溉和施肥)的作用不明显;气候因子和人为因子(灌溉)均明显影响芦苇产量的年际变化。但驱动辽河三角洲3种主要植被(玉米、水稻和芦苇)生产功能年际波动的主导气候因子并不相同,分别是年日照数、年降水量和年蒸发量。     

基于FAO56 Penman-Monteith公式估算神农架大九湖泥炭湿地蒸散及作物系数

利用涡度相关法获取神农架大九湖泥炭湿地2016—2017年的蒸散数据,选用FAO56 Penman-Monteith公式及实际蒸散(ET_a)与参考蒸散(ET_0)之间的线性关系估算作物系数(K_c)值,分析泥炭湿地参考蒸散变化特征及主要影响因子,并确定以泥炭藓为主的湿地作物系数。结果表明:2016、2017年研究区日均ET_a和ET_0值分别为1.63、1.38和1.61、1.23 mm·d~(-1);影响参考蒸散的环境因子贡献从大到小依次为净辐射、空气温度、饱和水气压差、风速、相对湿度;2016年、2017年和2016—2017年生长季的K_c值分别为0.95(ET_a与ET_0线性回归的R~2=0.96)、1.03(R~2=0.95)、0.98(R~2=0.95);2016年、2017年和2016—2017年全年的K_c值分别为0.92(R~2=0.94)、0.95(R~2=0.89)、0.93(R~2=0.92),以泥炭藓为主的湿地K_c在0.92～1.03范围内有效。本研究确定的参数能够广泛用于以泥炭藓为主的泥炭湿地气候变化、生态系统服务和水管理等研究。     

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.     

奈曼地区灌溉麦田蒸散量及作物系数的确定

利用大型蒸渗仪测定了奈曼地区春小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)全生育期的蒸散量,并引用FAO Penman-Monteith等5种方法计算了相应时期的参考作物蒸散量,比较了FAO Penman-Monteith公式与其它4种方法间的关系,最后运用作物蒸散量和参考作物蒸散量计算了春小麦的作物系数．结果表明,春小麦苗期每周日平均蒸散量小于3mm·d^-1,随着叶面积系数增大,日平均蒸散量达到最大值6．49mm·d^-1(抽穗开花期),最终下降至1．94mm·d^-1(灌浆成熟期);根据试验年份的降雨分布情况,该地区的自然降水不能满足春小麦对水分需求,小麦苗期、拔节期和抽穗开花期水分亏缺比较严重,是田间水分管理的关键时期;与FAO Penman-Monteith公式的计算结果相比较,用Penman公式和FAO-24 Blaney-Criddle公式估算奈曼地区参考作物蒸散量误差较小;奈曼地区春小麦苗期、营养期、生殖期、成熟期4个生长阶段的作物系数分别为0．45、0．90、1．1l和0．52,其中成熟期的作物系数值与FAO-24给出的小麦作物系数值差异较大．

草原区不同植物群落蒸发蒸腾的研究

 在中国科学院内蒙古草原生态系统定位研究站,采用“土柱称重法”对典型草原群落蒸发蒸腾进行实验观测,主要研究结果如下：1．草原沙地、羊草草原和河漫滩草甸是本地区差异明显的三种群落。草甸蒸腾最大(9.2 mm·d-1),比另两种群落高2—3倍;草甸蒸发最小(0.4mm·d-1),约为沙地的1／4,草原 的l／8。2．羊草草原在本区分布广,大针茅草原是本区半干旱地带性代表。由于这两种群落主要有关背景值的不同,羊草群落蒸散值(4.4—5.Omm·d-1)明显高于大针茅群落(3.5—3.8 mm·d-1),而且羊草群落的T／E1)值(～2)也明显大于大针茅(～1)。在生长季节中,羊草草原蒸散随气温升高而升高,在盛夏达最高值,然后随气温降低而降低。然而由于降雨变化的影响,羊草草原蒸发蒸腾的季节变化时而出现较大幅度的波动。3．根据1989年实测的降水和羊草群落蒸发蒸腾的季节变化,分析羊草群落的水分收支,可以看到实验区羊草草原的水分收支是大体平衡的。     

Citrus orchard evapotranspiration: Comparison between eddy covariance measurements and the FAO-56 approach estimates

Abstract

The aim of this study was to use the FAO-56 single and dual crop coefficient approaches to estimate actual evapotranspiration (ET_a) over an irrigated citrus orchard under drip and flood irrigations in Marrakech, Morocco. The results showed that, by using crop coefficients suggested in the FAO-56 paper, the performance of both approaches was poor for two irrigation treatments. The Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) between measured and simulated ET_a values over the citrus orchard under drip irrigation was about 1.43 and 1.27 mm/day for the single and dual approaches, respectively, while the corresponding statistics for the orchard irrigated by the flooding technique was 1.87 and 2.48 mm/day. After determination of the appropriate values of the crop coefficient (K_c) based on eddy covariance measurements of ET_a, the performance of both approaches greatly improved. The obtained K_c values were lower than the FAO-56 values by about 20%. The low K_c values obtained reflect the practice of drip irrigation for one field and the low value of cover fraction for the other field. Additionally, the efficiency of the irrigation practices was investigated by comparing the measured K_c for two fields. The results showed that a considerable amount of water was lost by direct soil evaporation from the citrus orchard irrigated by flooding technique.     

Lychee tree parameters for water balance modeling

Lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is widely grown under irrigation in the tropical northern Thailand highlands. Water efficient irrigation requires sound irrigation scheduling for which the requisite soil moisture information can be obtained from water balance modeling. A prerequisite for water balance predictions are plant parameters which describe interception, root distribution evaporation and transpiration. These parameters depend on climate, soil, as well as plant physiology, variety and age. This study investigated the plant parameters for 7-year-old lychee trees in tropical granite landscapes, as they are as yet unavailable. Interception could be satisfactorily predicted with the modified Gash model. The Gash parameters (canopy capacity per canopy cover area (S _c), canopy cover factor (c)) were determined to be 21.8 mm and 0.22, respectively. The spatial distribution of lychee tree roots depended on slope inclination. On the level plateau position, root length density (RLD) distribution was trunk-symmetrical and could be predicted with an empirical function. On the slope, the asymmetrical and irregular root development was not predictable. The suitability of the dual crop coefficient approach predicting daily potential evaporation (E _pot) and daily potential transpiration (T _pot) rates for water balance modeling was limited due to the weak correlations of E _pot and T _pot with the potential reference evapotranspiration (ET_o). As a result, no universal values for the potential evaporation coefficient (K _e,max) and the potential transpiration coefficient (K _cb) could be determined. Hence, E _pot and T _pot measurements are mandatory if accurate E _pot and T _pot data are necessary. In the case of missing measurements, K _e,max values of 0.6 and 1.6 are recommended for rough E _pot estimates underneath and in-between the lychee tree canopies. For T _pot predictions in irrigation scheduling, a relatively high K _cb of 0.8 is recommended in order to ensure a water stress free fruit development within the irrigation season.

基于野外调查和同质种植园实验的芦苇植物功能性状变异研究

研究表型可塑性和遗传变异在植物表型分化中的相对作用,有助于预测全球环境变化下的植物群落组成和生态系统功能的变化。芦苇（Phragmites australis）是全球性广布的草本植物,种内变异丰富,在我国西北和东部均存在多个分化稳定的生态型,但中国芦苇在更大尺度上的表型研究还非常匮乏。将位于黄河上游的宁夏平原和黄河下游的黄河三角洲作为研究区域,通过野外调查和同质种植园实验对芦苇自然种群的植物功能性状变异进行观测。结果表明,无论在野外还是同质种植园,黄河三角洲芦苇的基径、叶长和叶宽均显著大于宁夏平原芦苇,说明两个地区的芦苇种群之间存在着受遗传决定的表型分化,这可能与两个地区间的降水等气候差异有关。在野外,宁夏芦苇的株高和叶厚显著大于黄河三角洲芦苇,但在同质园中差异消失或相反,说明株高、叶厚受环境影响较大,表型可塑性也是芦苇适应环境变化的重要机制。在同质种植园中,宁夏平原芦苇的叶片氮磷含量较低,但株数却显著多于黄河三角洲芦苇,反映了不同地区芦苇之间存在不同的适应策略,宁夏平原芦苇更偏向于高扩散率的杂草策略,而黄河三角洲芦苇更偏向于竞争策略。此外,宁夏平原芦苇的株高、叶长两个性状以及基径-比叶面积相关性在野外和同质园两个环境中存在一致性,表明了性状变异和权衡策略的遗传稳定性。综上,位于黄河上下游的芦苇种群间存在着适应性分化,这是表型可塑性和遗传变异共同作用的结果,不同来源芦苇对全球变化下的多重环境因子的响应还需要进一步研究。     

Evapotranspiration model comparison and an estimate of field scale Miscanthus canopy precipitation interception

The bioenergy crop Miscanthus × giganteus has a high water demand to quickly increase biomass with rapid canopy closure and effective rainfall interception, traits that are likely to impact on hydrology in land use change. Evapotranspiration (ET, the combination of plant and ground surface transpiration and evaporation) forms an important part of the water balance, and few ET models have been tested with Miscanthus. Therefore, this study uses field measurements to determine the most accurate ET model and to establish the interception of precipitation by the canopy (C_i). Daily ET estimates from 2012 to 2016 using the Hargreaves–Samani, Priestley–Taylor, Granger–Gray, and Penman–Monteith (short grass) models were calculated using data from a weather station situated in a 6 ha Miscanthus crop. Results from these models were compared to data from on‐site eddy covariance (EC) instrumentation to determine accuracy and calculate the crop coefficient (K_c) model parameter. C_i was measured from June 2016 to March 2017 using stem‐flow and through‐flow gauges within the crop and rain gauges outside the crop. The closest estimated ET to the EC data was the Penman‐Monteith (short grass) model. The K_c values proposed are 0.63 for the early season (March and April), 0.85 for the main growing season (May to September), 1.57 for the late growing season (October and November), and 1.12 over the winter (December to February). These more accurate K_c values will enable better ET estimates with the use of the Penman‐Monteith (short grass) model improving estimates of potential yields and hydrological impacts of land use change. C_i was 24% and remained high during the autumn and winter thereby sustaining significant levels of canopy evaporation and suggesting benefits for winter flood mitigation.     

Evaluation of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. evapotranspiration in Northern and Southern Italy

The design, operation, pollutant removal as well as hydraulic modeling of wetland systems for wastewater treatment can be improved by better understanding and simulating the evapotranspiration process. To this purpose, two experiments were carried out in Northern (Veneto region) and Southern (Sicily region) Italy to measure evapotranspiration (ET) and determine the crop coefficient of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. using the FAO 56 approach. The experimental set-up consisted of a combination of vegetated and unvegetated plastic tanks (Veneto) or pilot sub-surface flow beds (Sicily). The ET values were obtained by measuring the amount of water needed to restore the initial volume in the tanks and in the beds after a certain period. All the needed climatic variables were measured and taken into account in the ET measurements. In the two experimental sites cumulative reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) was similar to the cumulative ET measured in the control tanks and beds (without vegetation, ET_con), while ET measured for P. australis (ET_phr) was significantly higher, underlining the strong effect of vegetation. From June 2009 to September 2009 the cumulative ET₀, ET_con and ET_phr in Veneto were 455, 424 and 3048 mm, in Sicily 653, 556 and 3899 mm, respectively. The plant coefficient trend of P. australis (K_p) estimated in Veneto was similar to that in Sicily, suggesting that the role of the plant in dispersing water is similar under different environmental conditions. Additional measurements made in the Veneto plant showed that K_p assumes different patterns and values in relation to plant age and growth stage. These results highlight the importance of the plants in regulating water losses from a wetland system, above all from small-scale constructed wetlands where the effect of the advection in ET rates is evident.     

In situ CO2 gas-exchange in fruits of a tropical tree,Durio zibethinus Murray

We examined the in situ CO₂ gas-exchange of fruits of a tropical tree, Durio zibethinus Murray, growing in an experimental field station of the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. Day and night dark respiration rates were exponentially related to air temperature. The temperature dependent dark respiration rate showed a clockwise loop as time progressed from morning to night, and the rate was higher in the daytime than at night. The gross photosynthetic rate was estimated by summing the rates of daytime dark respiration and net photosynthesis. Photosynthetic CO₂ refixation, which is defined as the ratio of gross photosynthetic rate to dark respiration rate in the daytime, ranged between 15 and 45%. The photosynthetic CO₂ refixation increased rapidly as the temperature increased in the lower range of air temperature T _c (T _c <28.5 °C), while it decreased gradually as the temperature increased in the higher range (T _c 28.5 °C). Light dependence of photosynthetic CO₂ refixation was approximated by a hyperbolic formula, where light saturation was achieved at 100 mol m^–2 s^–1 and the asymptotic CO₂ refixation was determined to be 37.4%. The estimated gross photosynthesis and dark respiration per day were 1.15 and 4.90 g CO₂ fruit^–1, respectively. Thus the CO₂ refixation reduced the respiration loss per day by 23%. The effect of fruit size on night respiration rate satisfied a power function, where the exponent was larger than unity.     

Biological connectivity and its driving mechanisms in the Liaohe Delta wetland,China

Biological connectivity plays a cricial role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function. However, it is poorly understood how to quantify biological connectivity and investigate its mechanisms in estuarine wetlands. In order to address this issue, this study aims to quantify biological connectivity in the Liaohe Delta wetland by utilizing three complementary approaches: the habitat quality simulation, the vegetation connectivity index, and the maximum entropy model. These approaches focused on habitat quality, vegetation, and bird species, respectively. The established criteria for assessing vegetation connectivity blockage and the jackknife method were utilized to identify the primary drivers of biological connectivity. The study found that (1) Habitat quality declined from 1976 to 2020, with a total decrease of 3.2 × 10⁶. (2) Vegetation patches have more fragmented and less connected over the last 45 years. There was also a higher vegetation probability density of Phragmites australis than Suaeda salsa. The area of unchanged P. australis was concentrated within the nature reserve, while the area of unchanged S. salsa was 0, indicating that P. australis was more affected than S. salsa. The vegetation connectivity blockage was 33.16%, with human activities having a greater impact compared to natural succession. (3) The area of suitable habitat for birds constituted 27.48% of the study area. Distance to S. salsa was the main driving factor, followed by the distance to intertidal muds, paddy fields, P. australis, and water sources. The results demonstrate that biological connectivity has generally declined over time, with human activities being a significant contributor. Our efforts to quantify biological connectivity provided clear spatial and temporal information on the trends and drivers of biological connectivity in the Liaohe Delta wetland. The results of this study can provide valuable information for conservation efforts aimed at preserving wetland biodiversity.     

芦苇腐解土中酚酸类化感物质的水分响应特性研究

芦苇和虉草均具有较强的去污能力,常作为湿地植物配置于同一人工湿地进行污水处理。芦苇作为一种强化感植物对虉草具有较强的化感作用,在自然湿地和人工湿地中均会出现芦苇代替虉草的现象,且这一现象的发生与土壤含水量存在一定联系,此外,芦苇腐解土对虉草的化感抑制效应与腐解土中总酚酸的量密切相关。为了研究芦苇腐解土中主要酚酸类物质的水分响应特性,筛选出其中对水分响应较为明显的酚酸物质种类,该研究采用高效液相色谱法,通过芦苇枯落物腐解土的制备,对不同水分环境下芦苇腐解土中酚酸类物质进行了分离和鉴定。结果表明:芦苇腐解土中可分离出没食子酸、香豆酸、香草酸、丁香酸、对香豆酸、阿魏酸、水杨酸和苯甲酸等8种酚酸类物质,其中香豆酸、苯甲酸和阿魏酸等3种酚酸类物质含量较高。分离出的8种酚酸类物质的含量与腐解土的相对含水量均呈显著线性负相关关系,即随着腐解土相对含水量的上升,酚酸类物质的含量均呈现下降趋势,且各种酚酸类物质对水分的响应趋势均可用线性方程较好地拟合。其中,香豆酸、没食子酸和阿魏酸对芦苇腐解土的水分响应最为明显。因此,可将香豆酸、没食子酸和阿魏酸作为主要调控目标,通过调控湿地土壤中水分含量,削弱芦苇对虉草的化感抑制效应,从而维持人工湿地中虉草芦苇群落的长期稳定共存。

采用静态箱-气相色谱法,于2016年6—11月连续观测辽河口芦苇湿地、翅碱蓬湿地和裸滩湿地的CH_4排放速率,同时测定温度、氧化还原电位(Eh)、pH值和电导率(EC)等相关环境因子的动态变化。结果表明,3种类型湿地的CH_4排放具有明显的季节变化特征,均呈先上升后下降趋势。芦苇湿地、翅碱蓬湿地(涨潮前)和裸滩湿地(涨潮前)CH_4排放通量变化范围分别为0.447—10.40、0.045—0.509 mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和0.016—0.593 mg m~(-2) h~(-1),观测期内排放通量均值相应为(3.699±3.679)、(0.165±0.156) mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和(0.198±0.191) mg m~(-2) h~(-1),不同类型湿地之间差异显著(P0.01),芦苇湿地裸滩湿地(涨潮前)翅碱蓬湿地(涨潮前)。涨潮过程中,翅碱蓬湿地和裸滩湿地的排放速率分别变化在0.009—0.353 mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和0.018—0.335 mg m~(-2) h~(-1),观测期间其排放速率均值分别为(0.119±0.132) mg m~(-2) h~(-1)和(0.131±0.103) mg m~(-2) h~(-1),明显低于涨潮前(P0.01)。不同湿地类型间CH_4排放通量与电导率(EC)呈显著负相关(P0.01)。研究结果表明,潮汐和电导率均为影响辽河口不同类型湿地中CH_4排放的关键因子。     

江苏滨海湿地芦苇和互花米草光合特性对模拟增温的响应

滨海湿地生态系统具有较高的初级生产力,是地球生态系统主要的碳库之一。然而,气候变暖和外来物种入侵通过改变植物光合特征性能使这一碳库的稳定性存在诸多的不确定性。利用在江苏盐城芦苇湿地和互花米草湿地建设的两个增温观测站,采用便携式光合荧光测量系统研究了本土植物芦苇（Phragmites australis）和入侵物种互花米草（Spartina alterniflora）光合特性对模拟增温的响应特征和机制。光合作用日调查变化曲线显示,增温使芦苇的净光合速率（P_n）、气孔导度（G_s）、蒸腾速率（T_r）和水分利用效率（WUE）都发生了显著的下降,但互花米草的各同名参数却表现出相反的变化特征,表明增温使互花米草的生理机能增强,促进了光合作用;根据P_n和胞间CO₂浓度（C_i）的变化趋势推断互花米草和芦苇光合速率变化均为非气孔限制因素驱动。利用直角双曲线修正模型拟合的光响应曲线结果显示,芦苇增温组的光响应曲线位于对照组下方,互花米草增温组的光响应曲线位于对照组上方;增温降低了所研究植物的光补偿点（LCP）,表明增温可提高两种植物利用弱光的能力;增温增加了互花米草光补偿点（LCP）和光饱和点（LSP）间值域范围,从而揭示了增温可有效提高互花米草利用光合有效辐射的能力;增温降低了芦苇的暗呼吸速率（R_d）,芦苇受到增温的胁迫,在减缓新陈代谢的同时也减弱了光合作用,而互花米草表现出相反特征。由此推测增温条件下入侵植物互花米草同化大气CO₂的能力（即碳汇能力）优于本土植物芦苇,这也是互花米草成为入侵物种的主要原因之一。
