CO2浓度和降水协同作用对短花针茅生长的影响

关于二氧化碳(CO2)浓度和降水等单因子变化对植物生长的影响研究已很多,但多因子协同作用的影响研究仍较少,制约着植物对全球变化响应的综合理解与预测.利用开顶式生长箱(OTC)模拟研究了CO2浓度升高(450和550 μmol/mol)和降水量变化(-30％、-15％、对照、+15％和+30％)的协同作用对荒漠草原优势植物短花针茅(Stipa breviflora)生长特性的影响.结果表明:550 μmol/mol CO2浓度下短花针茅植株的生物量和叶面积较对照显著增加,但450 μmol/mol CO2浓度下的变化不明显;降水增多导致植株生物量、叶面积、叶数和株高显著增加;CO2浓度与降水协同作用显著影响短花针茅植株生物量.CO2浓度升高在一定程度上缓解了降水减少对短花针茅的胁迫效应,但降水量减少3O％则明显抑制了CO2浓度升高带来的效应.研究结果有助于增进荒漠草原植物对未来气候变化的适应性理解,可为制定荒漠草原应对气候变化的对策提供依据.     

大气CO_2增加对不同生长光强下龙须菜光合生理特性的影响

为了探讨未来大气CO2升高对不同生长光强下大型海藻的影响,选取经济红藻龙须菜为实验材料,研究了其生长速率、光合作用、呼吸作用、叶绿素荧光参数以及光合色素对CO2和光强的响应。实验设置两个CO2浓度,正常空气水平CO2浓度(390μL/L)和高CO2浓度(1000μL/L);两个光强梯度,高光(300μmol m-2s-1)和低光(100μmol m-2s-1)。结果表明,CO2和光强对龙须菜的生长和光合作用有明显的交互作用。大气CO2升高并没有显著影响龙须菜的生长速率,但在不同CO2处理下,龙须菜对光强的响应不同。在空气水平下,光强的变化对其生长速率影响不显著。而在高CO2作用下,高光处理下的藻体有更高的生长速率。CO2显著促进高光生长下龙须菜的呼吸作用速率,但是在低光下作用不明显。而对于光合作用速率来说,低光培养下的藻体CO2表现为负面效应,但对高光下生长的藻体作用不明显。CO2增加没有改变龙须菜生长状态下的电子传递速率,但在高光下,CO2表现为一定的抑制作用。CO2显著降低了龙须菜天线色素藻红蛋白和叶绿素a的含量。这些CO2与光强的结合效应表明,大气CO2的升高对龙须菜光合生理特性的影响随着光强的变化而呈现不同的效应,在未来评估CO2的增加对大型海藻的影响时,要充分考虑其他环境因子的耦合效应。     

剪叶疏花条件下高浓度CO2对汕优63生长和产量的影响

利用稻田FACE(Free Air CO_2Enrichment)系统平台,以杂交稻汕优63为供试材料,二氧化碳设环境CO_2浓度(Ambient)和高CO_2浓度(Ambient+200μmol/mol),抽穗期源库改变设剪叶(剪除剑叶)和疏花处理(相间剪除1次枝梗),以不处理为对照(CK),研究大气CO_2浓度升高对不同源库处理水稻产量形成及物质生产的影响。结果表明:CK条件下,大气CO_2浓度升高使汕优63籽粒产量显著增加32%,这主要与单位面积总颖花量大幅增加(+26%)有关,结实能力亦呈增加趋势但未达显著水平。大气CO_2浓度升高使抽穗期剪叶处理水稻的籽粒产量平均增加55%,明显大于对照水稻,这主要与受精率(+28%)、饱粒率(+23%)和所有籽粒平均粒重(+19%)大幅增加有关。相反,对抽穗期疏花处理水稻而言,高CO_2浓度环境下籽粒产量的增幅(+25%,P=0.07)明显小于对照水稻,这主要与结实能力的响应略有下调有关。与产量响应类似,大气CO_2浓度升高使对照、剪叶和疏花条件下最终生物量分别增加39%、43%和28%,除疏花处理外均达显著水平。抽穗期剪叶和疏花处理本身使水稻籽粒产量分别降低40%和45%,前者主要是结实能力大幅下降所致,而后者与总颖花量减半相关。以上结果表明,大气CO_2浓度升高使杂交水稻生产力大幅增加,人为减小源库比(如剪叶)可增强CO_2肥料效应,而增加源库比(如疏花)则可使这种肥料效应减弱。     

Effect of CO2 concentration on the PIC/POC ratio in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi grown under light-limiting conditions and different daylengths

We compared the effect of CO₂ concentration ([CO₂], ranging from ∼5 to ∼34 μmol l⁻¹) at four different photon flux densities (PFD=15, 30, 80 and 150 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) and two light/dark (L/D) cycles (16/8 and 24/0 h) on the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi. With increasing [CO₂], a decrease in the particulate inorganic carbon to particulate organic carbon (PIC/POC) ratio was observed at all light intensities and L/D cycles tested. The individual response in cellular PIC and POC to [CO₂] depended strongly on the PFD. POC production increased with rising [CO₂], irrespective of the light intensity, and PIC production decreased with increasing [CO₂] at a PFD of 150 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, whereas below this light level it was unaffected by [CO₂]. Cell growth rate decreased with decreasing PFD, but was largely independent of ambient [CO₂]. The diurnal variation in PIC and POC content, monitored over a 38-h period (16/8 h L/D, PFD=150 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹), exceeded the difference in carbon content between cells grown at high (∼29 μmol l⁻¹) and low (∼4 μmol l⁻¹) [CO₂]. However, consistent with the results described above, cellular POC content was higher and PIC content lower at high [CO₂], compared to the values at low [CO₂], and the offset was observed throughout the day. It is suggested that the observed sensitivity of POC production for ambient [CO₂] may be of importance in regulating species-specific primary production and species composition.     

大气CO2浓度及温度升高对高山灌木鬼箭锦鸡儿(Caragana jubata)生长及抗氧化系统的影响

以CO_2浓度及温度升高为主要标志的全球气候变化将对我国西北地区脆弱的生态系统产生重要影响。利用环境控制实验研究CO_2浓度倍增(eCO_2, C_1:400μmol/mol和C_2:800μmol/mol)和温度升高(eT, T_1:20℃/10℃和T_2:23℃/13℃)对高山灌木鬼箭锦鸡儿(Caragana jubata)生长及抗氧化系统的影响。结果表明:eCO_2和eT表现出相反的生长和生理效应,eT对幼苗生长的影响要大于eCO_2对其的影响。eT使幼苗的总生物量、净光合速率(NAR)和相对生长速率(RGR)降低;但可促进地上部分生长,叶生物量比及叶面积比增加。eCO_2可减缓或补偿由eT引起的总生物量、NAR和RGR的降低,并促进地下部分生长。对抗氧化系统来说,eT使得超氧化歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)及抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性降低,还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和抗坏血酸(ASA)含量降低;eCO_2只增加常温下SOD酶活性,并使GSH、ASA整体水平提高。结论:温度升高和CO_2浓度倍增没有协同促进鬼箭锦鸡儿幼苗的生长和光合能力。温度升高将对幼苗生长和抗氧化系统产生不利影响,eCO_2可促进生长并可能通过抗氧剂含量增加来缓解氧化胁迫。因此,未来气候变化,尤其是温度升高将会对高寒区植物产生较大影响,CO_2浓度增加可缓解增温的不利影响。     

大豆主要株型和产量指标对大气CO2和温度升高的响应

针对当前气候变暖和大气CO_2浓度升高同步发生现实,以高光效大豆品种黑农41(HN41)和3个常规对照品种周豆16号(ZD16)、中豆35号(ZD35)和桂黄豆2号(GHD2)为研究对象,通过开顶式气室模拟高CO_2浓度(650μL/L)和温度升高(±0.5—0.6℃)研究了大气CO_2和温度升高对大豆的生长发育与产量影响。结果表明,CO_2浓度升高对株高、茎粗、单株干重和单株籽粒重影响极显著;温度、CO_2与品种互作极显著地影响单株籽粒重。CO_2浓度升高有增加大豆株高、茎粗、干重和单株籽粒重的趋势,且高温下CO_2浓度升高对株高和茎粗的促进作用更大,而正常温度水平下高CO_2浓度升高更有利于干物质积累。与对照CO_2浓度比,高CO_2浓度显著促进了高温下HN41、ZD16和GHD2的株高,并显著提高了正常温度下HN41、ZD16、ZD35和GHD2的单株干重。与正常温度相比,高温仅显著提高了高CO_2处理下HN41的茎粗,并显著提高了对照CO_2处理下HN41的单株籽粒重。此外,同一CO_2浓度和温度处理下,高光效大豆HN41的茎粗、根冠比和单株籽粒重等都显著高于ZD16、ZD35和GHD2;而仅在正常温度与高CO_2浓度处理下HN41的单株干重显著高于ZD16和GHD2。CO_2浓度和温度升高显著影响了高光效大豆的生长,其中,高温下CO_2浓度升高有利于其生长势,正常温度下CO_2浓度升高有利于其光合产物积累。     

Gas exchange of Ginkgo biloba leaves at different CO2 concentration levels

One and a half year-old Ginkgo saplings were grown for 2 years in 7 litre pots with medium fertile soil at ambient air CO₂ concentration and at 700 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂ in temperature and humidity-controlled cabinets standing in the field. In the middle of the 2nd season of CO₂ enrichment, CO₂ exchange and transpiration in response to CO₂ concentration was measured with a mini-cuvette system. In addition, the same measurements were conducted in the crown of one 60-year-old tree in the field. Number of leaves/tree was enhanced by elevated CO₂ and specific leaf area decreased significantly.CO₂ compensation points were reached at 75–84 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂. Gas exchange of Ginkgo saplings reacted more intensively upon CO₂ than those of the adult Ginkgo. On an average, stomatal conductance decreased by 30% as CO₂ concentration increased from 30 to 1000 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂. Water use efficiency of net photosynthesis was positively correlated with CO₂ concentration levels. Saturation of net photosynthesis and lowest level of stomatal conductance was reached by the leaves of Ginkgo saplings at >1000 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂. Acclimation of leaf net CO₂ assimilation to the elevated CO₂ concentration at growth occurred after 2 years of exposure. Maximum of net CO₂ assimilation was 56% higher at ambient air CO₂ concentration than at 700 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂.     

Aquaporins and membrane diffusion of CO2 in living organisms

Background

Determination of CO₂ diffusion rates in living cells revealed inconsistencies with existing models about the mechanisms of membrane gas transport. Mainly, these discrepancies exist in the determined CO₂ diffusion rates of bio-membranes, which were orders of magnitudes below those for pure lipid bilayers or theoretical considerations as well as in the observation that membrane insertion of specific aquaporins was rescuing high CO₂ transport rates. This effect was confirmed by functional aquaporin protein analysis in heterologous expression systems as well as in bacteria, plants and partly in mammals.

Scope of Review

This review summarizes the arguments in favor of and against aquaporin facilitated membrane diffusion of CO₂ and reports about its importance for the physiology of living organisms.

Major Conclusions

Most likely, the aquaporin tetramer forming an additional fifth pore is required for CO₂ diffusion facilitation. Aquaporin tetramer formation, membrane integration and disintegration could provide a mechanism for regulation of cellular CO₂ exchange. The physiological importance of aquaporin mediated CO₂ membrane diffusion could be shown for plants and cyanobacteria and partly for mammals.

General Significance

Taking the mentioned results into account, consequences for our current picture of cell membrane transport emerge. It appears that in some or many instances, membranes might not be as permeable as it was suggested by current bio-membrane models, opening an additional way of controlling the cellular influx or efflux of volatile substances like CO₂. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Aquaporins.     

不同天气水稻光合日变化对大气CO2浓度和温度升高的响应——FACE研究

人类活动导致大气二氧化碳浓度(CO_2)升高、全球气候变暖和光合有效辐射(PAR)降低,影响着绿色作物的光合作用。为了明确高CO_2浓度、高温和低PAR对水稻光合日变化特征的影响,利用中国稻田开放空气CO_2浓度升高系统(free air CO_2enrichment,FACE),以常规粳稻南粳9108为试验材料,设置了环境CO_2和高CO_2浓度(增200μmol/mol)、环境温度和增高温度(增1—2℃)交互的4个处理,从9:00到17:00每隔1h测定了阴天和晴天水稻的光合作用,研究了不同天气对水稻光合日变化对大气CO_2浓度和温度升高的响应。观察到不同天气条件下水稻光合日变化的不同特征,晴天Pn为双峰曲线,发生了光合"午休",阴天未发生。结果表明,高CO_2浓度显著提高了水稻Pn,温度升高有降低水稻Pn趋势,CO_2浓度增加200μmol/mol对水稻光合作用的促进效应远大于增温1—2℃对其的抑制效应。高CO_2浓度显著增加了水稻胞间CO_2浓度(Ci),降低了水稻蒸腾速率(Tr),平均降幅为10.8%—22.0%。高温有降低Ci的趋势,增加了Tr,平均增幅达5.0%—13.5%。晴天比阴天增加了水稻Tr,平均增幅为9.8%—31.2%。CO_2浓度和温度同时升高显著降低了水稻气孔导度(Gs)。这些结果说明CO_2浓度、温度和PAR对水稻水分利用率(WUE)产生综合影响。阴天PAR比晴天平均低53.3%,阴天水稻Pn比晴天显著低,平均降幅达37.1%—72.0%。与对照比较,高CO_2浓度处理,较高PAR(晴天)条件下水稻Pn的增幅(38.6%—58.4%)显著大于较低PAR(阴天)条件下水稻Pn的增幅(21.6%—38.8%),这一现象值得关注和深入探讨。研究结果表明,评估气候变化对水稻生产的影响,需同时考虑未来大气CO_2浓度和温度升高以及PAR下降的因素及其相互作用。     

C4作物FACE(free-air CO2 enrichment)研究进展

持续迅速上升的大气二氧化碳浓度([CO₂])是全球变暖最大的驱动因子,但其作为光合作用底物直接增加了作物的生产力。相比C₃作物,人们对未来高浓度CO₂情形下C₄作物的响应规律认识较少。与封闭或半封闭气室研究相比,FACE(free-air CO₂ enrichment)试验在空气自由流动的大田条件下对作物表现进行研究,它提供了对未来作物生长环境的真实模拟,因此提供了评估CO₂肥料效应以及揭示植物响应机制的最好机会。作为人类重要的粮食和饲料来源,高粱和玉米是最重要的C₄作物。在简介美国玉米和高粱FACE系统的基础上,综述了FACE情形下高浓度CO₂(模拟本世纪中叶大气CO₂浓度,即550 μmol/mol)对两大作物生理、生长和产量以及土壤特性等方面的影响,同时比较了与气室研究结果的异同点。(1)FACE使干旱条件下两作物光合作用显著增强,但湿润条件下没有影响;FACE条件下高粱出现光合适应现象,而玉米没有;(2)FACE使两作物气孔导度大幅下降,导致叶温升高、蒸腾速率下降、蒸发蒸腾总量减少或没有变化、叶片总水势和水分利用效率增加或没有变化;(3)FACE对两作物物候期和化学组分影响很少;(4)FACE使干旱条件下两作物生长和产量略有增加,但湿润条件下没有影响;(5)FACE使高粱田土壤丛枝状菌根真菌的长度和易提取胶状物质浓度显著增加,导致水稳性土壤团聚体增加;FACE对高粱田N₂O或含氮气体(N₂O+N₂)的排放没有影响;(6)高浓度CO₂对两作物气孔导度的影响FACE试验明显大于气室试验,而对生长和产量的影响呈相反趋势。阐明CO₂与基因型、土壤湿度和大气温度间的互作效应及其机制是下一轮C₄作物FACE研究优先考虑的方向,技术的不断进步已为利用大型FACE系统来研究这些互作效应提供了可能。     

CO2浓度升高对毛竹器官矿质离子吸收、运输和分配的影响

为了给大气CO2浓度逐渐升高背景下的毛竹林适应性经营管理提供理论依据,运用开顶式气室(OTCs)模拟大气CO2浓度升高(500、700 μmol/mol)情景,以目前环境背景大气为对照,研究了Na+、Fe2+-Fe3+、Ca2+、Mg2+等矿质离子在毛竹器官中吸收、运输和分配的变化规律.结果显示,除CO2浓度700 μmoL/mol对Ca2+浓度在毛竹器官中大小排序会产生影响外,CO2浓度500、700 μmol/mol并未改变毛竹器官中Na+、Fe2+,Fe3+、Mg2+、Ca2+浓度的大小排序.CO2浓度升高对竹叶Fe2+-Fe3+和竹枝Fe2+-Fe3+、Mg2+浓度无明显影响,但对器官的其它矿质离子浓度会有不同程度的影响,竹叶Ca2+和Mg2+、竹枝Na+和Ca2+、竹秆Na+和Ca2+及Mg2+、竹根Na+和Mg2+浓度明显提高,竹叶Na+、竹秆Fe2+-Fe3+、竹根Fe2+-Fe3+和Ca2+浓度明显降低;随着CO2浓度的升高,竹叶Fe2+-Fe3+/Na+、Mg2+/Na+和Ca2+/Na+,竹枝Ca2+/Mg2+及各器官Mg2+/Fe2+-Fe3+、Ca2+/Fe2+-Fe3+均逐渐增大,而竹枝、竹秆、竹根Fe2+-Fe3+/Na+、Mg2+/Na+、Ca2+/Na+和竹叶、竹秆、竹根Ca2+/Mg2+均逐渐减小;CO2浓度升高后除竹根-竹秆Sca.Na、竹秆-竹枝SMg,Fe和竹枝-竹叶Sca,Mg明显下降外,其余的毛竹器官矿质离子向上运输系数变化平缓或明显提高.研究表明CO2浓度升高增强了毛竹立竹根部积累Na+能力和Fe2+-Fe3+、Ca2+和Mg2+的向上选择性运输能力,提高了光合器官竹叶中矿质养分元素浓度,可维持体内矿质养分元素平衡,有利于提高毛竹对高浓度CO2环境的适应能力.     

大气CO2浓度升高对春玉米土壤呼吸的影响

为探讨春玉米不同生育期土壤呼吸速率对大气CO₂浓度升高的响应,以黄土高原旱作春玉米为研究对象,通过改进的开顶式气室（OTC）模拟大气CO₂浓度升高的环境,在田间条件下设置自然大气CO₂浓度（CK）、OTC对照（OTC,CO₂浓度同CK）与CO₂浓度升高（OTC+CO₂,OTC系统自动控制CO₂浓度700 μmol/mol）3种处理。研究了旱区覆膜高产栽培春玉米播前（V0）、六叶期（V6）、九叶期（V9）、吐丝期（R1）、乳熟期（R3）、蜡熟期（R5）及完熟期（R6）土壤呼吸速率对大气CO₂浓度升高的响应特征,以及大气CO₂浓度升高对土壤呼吸速率的温度与水分效应的影响。研究发现,OTC+CO₂处理土壤呼吸速率,与CK相比,在R3和R5期分别增加43%、104%（P<0.05）,与OTC相比,R3和R5期分别提升了63%、109%（P<0.05）;OTC处理与CK相比,在整个生育期对土壤呼吸影响不显著;3种处理条件下,土壤温度和水分随生育期变化趋势基本一致,土壤呼吸速率与土壤温度和水分分别呈指数相关和抛物线型相关;结果表明：大气CO₂浓度升高对土壤呼吸的影响因生育期而异,土壤温度和土壤水分是影响旱地农田土壤呼吸的重要因素,CO₂浓度升高会使土壤呼吸温度效应值（Q₁₀）降低,土壤呼吸对土壤水分响应的阈值提高。     

CO2升高对枝角类群落结构影响的原位模拟

分别于春、夏两季在太湖梅梁湾进行原位试验,设置3个CO_2浓度梯度,270、380μL/L和750μL/L,以斜生栅藻作为枝角类的食物,研究了CO_2浓度升高对枝角类群落结构的影响。结果表明高CO_2浓度能促进斜生栅藻生长,显著提高枝角类的食物数量;此外CO_2浓度的变化能显著改变枝角类的群落结构,高CO_2浓度有利于象鼻蟤属、秀体蟤属和春季蟤属的生长,而不利于网纹蟤属的生长。这可能是由于CO_2浓度变化改变了枝角类的食物质量,浮游藻类的C∶P比值随CO_2浓度的升高而增加,从而有利于体内含磷量较低,高C∶P的枝角类生长。因此枝角类的群落结构主要受食物质量的影响而与食物的数量无关。研究为预测未来气候变化对太湖浮游动物的影响提供了一些理论依据。     

不同温度下CO2浓度增高对坛紫菜生长和叶绿素荧光特性的影响

大气CO2浓度升高对海藻的影响已有许多的研究报道,但鲜见有关温度与CO2相互作用的研究.在4种条件下对坛紫菜进行连续通气培养:(1)15℃+ 390tmol/mol CO2,(2) 15℃+700 μmol/mol CO2,(3) 25℃+390 μmol/mol CO2,(4) 25℃+ 700 μmol/mol CO2.从而探讨这种南方海域重要栽培海藻种类的生长和叶绿素荧光特性对温度和CO2相互作用的响应.结果表明:CO2对坛紫菜的生长的影响具有温度依赖性,在低温生长条件下提高CO2浓度更有利于坛紫菜的生长.CO2对坛紫菜叶绿素a(Chlorophyll a,Chl a)和类胡萝卜素(Carotenoid,Car)的促进作用远大于温度对其产生的影响.相对于25℃的生长温度而言,15℃生长温度下的坛紫菜表现出较高的最大相对电子传递速率(rETRmax),表明坛紫菜在低温环境下有较高的光合潜力;而CO2对坛紫菜的rETRmax没有明显影响.对于在不同测定温度下的光合荧光特性而言,在10-30℃测定温度范围内,在各生长条件下的海藻的rETRmax、光能利用效率(α)和最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)随温度的升高变化不明显;但在较高测定温度下(≥30℃),上述荧光参数显著下降,说明高温易引发海藻光能利用效率和光合能力的下降,这可能与光系统(PS)Ⅱ反应中心活性下调有关.同时,当测定温度大于30℃时,15℃生长条件下的坛紫菜的rETRmax、α和F/Fm值下降趋势远大于25℃生长条件下的坛紫菜的值,表明在低温生长条件下的坛紫菜对短期高温胁迫的适应能力较弱;而在高CO2浓度生长条件下的坛紫菜的rETRmax总是低于正常CO2浓度生长下的值,说明CO2浓度升高会抑制坛紫菜在短期高温条件下的光合电子传递能力.     

Effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on soil enzyme activities at different nitrogen application treatments

It has been predicted that elevated atmospheric CO₂ will increase enzyme activity as a result of CO₂-induced carbon entering the soil. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of elevated atmospheric CO₂ on soil enzyme activities under a rice/wheat rotation. This experiment was conducted in Wuxi, Jiangsu, China as part of the China FACE (Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment) Project. Two atmospheric CO₂ concentrations (580±60) and (380±40) μmol·mol^-1) and three N application treatments (low-150, normal-250 and high-350 kg N·hm^-2) were included. Soil samples (0-10 cm) were collected for analysis of β-glucosidase, invertase, urease, acid phosphates and β-glucosaminidase activities. The results revealed that with elevated atmospheric CO₂ β-glucosidase activity significantly decreased (P < 0.05) at low N application rates; had no significant effect with a normal N application rate; and significantly increased (P < 0.05) with a high N application rate. For urease activity, at low and normal N application rates (but not high N application rate), elevated atmospheric CO₂ significantly increased (P < 0.05) it. With acid phosphatase elevated atmospheric CO₂ only had significant higher effects (P < 0.05) at high N application rates. Under different CO₂ concentration, effects of N fertilization are also different. Soil β-glucosidase activity at ambient CO₂ concentration decreased with N fertilization, while it increased at elevated CO₂ concentration. In addition, invertase and acid phosphatase activities at elevated CO₂ concentration, significantly increased (P < 0.05) with N treatments, but there was no effect with the ambient CO₂ concentration. For urease activity, at ambient CO₂ concentration, N fertilization increased it significantly (P < 0.05), whereas at elevated CO₂ concentration it was not significant. Additionally, with β-glucosaminidase activity, there were no significant effects from N application. In general, then, elevated atmospheric CO₂ increased soil enzyme activity, which may be attributed to the following two factors: (1) elevated atmospheric CO₂ led to more plant biomass in the soil, which in turn stimulated soil microbial biomass and activity; and (2) elevated atmospheric CO₂ increased plant photosynthesis, thereby increasing plant-derived soil enzymes.

不同温度及二氧化碳浓度下培养的龙须菜光合生理特性对阳光紫外辐射的响应

为了研究不同温度及CO₂浓度下培养的大型海藻对紫外辐射的生理学响应,选取龙须菜(Gracilaria lemaneiformis)作为实验材料。实验设置两个温度梯度(20 ℃和24 ℃),两种CO₂浓度(390 μL/L和1000 μL/L)以及3种辐射处理,即可见光(PAR)处理(滤除紫外线A(UV-A)、紫外线B(UV-B),400-700 nm)、可见光加紫外线A(PA)处理(滤除UV-B,320-700 nm)、PAB处理(全波长辐射280-700 nm)。结果表明,酸化、升温以及紫外辐射处理都未影响大型经济红藻龙须菜的叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素的含量。然而紫外辐射处理显著降低了龙须菜的有效光化学效率,其抑制水平在酸化处理的藻体中更为显著,并且随着温度的上升而进一步加剧;酸化与温度耦合使藻体对紫外辐射的敏感性增加,导致其较低的修复速率以及较高的损伤速率。     

高浓度CO2引起的海水酸化对小珊瑚藻光合作用和钙化作用的影响

为了探讨CO2海底封存潜在的渗漏危险对于海洋生物的可能影响,以大型钙化藻类小珊瑚藻(Corallina pilulifera)为研究对象,在室内控光控温条件下,通过向培养海水充入CO2气体得到3种不同酸化程度的培养条件(pH 8.1、6.8和5.5),24h后比较藻体光合作用和钙化作用情况。结果显示:相对于自然海水培养条件(pH 8.1),在pH 6.8条件下培养的小珊瑚藻光合固碳速率得到了增强,而在pH 5.5条件下光合固碳速率则降低;随着酸化程度的增强,藻体的钙化固碳速率越来越低,在pH 5.5条件下甚至表现为负值[(-2.53±0.57)mg C g-1干重h-1];藻体颗粒无机碳(PIC)和颗粒有机碳(POC)含量的比值随着酸化程度的加强而降低,这反映了酸化对光合和钙化作用的综合效应。快速光反应曲线的测定结果显示:随着酸化程度的增强,强光引起的光抑制程度越来越强;在酸化条件下,藻体的光饱和点显著降低,但pH 6.8和5.5之间没有显著差异;低光下的电子传递速率在pH 8.1和6.8之间没有显著差异,pH 5.5培养条件下显著降低;最大电子传递速率在pH 6.8时最大,在pH 5.5时最低。以上结果说明,高浓度CO2引起的海水酸化显著地影响着小珊瑚藻的光合和钙化过程,不同的酸化程度下,藻体的光合、钙化反应不同,在较强的酸化程度下(pH 5.5),藻体的光合和钙化过程都将受到强烈的抑制,这些结果为认识CO2海底封存渗漏危险对海洋钙化藻类的可能影响提供了理论参考。     

外来入侵植物飞机草和本地植物异叶泽兰对大气CO_2浓度升高的响应

大气CO2浓度升高影响外来植物入侵,研究外来入侵植物和本地植物对大气CO2浓度升高响应的差异,有助于准确预测和管理外来植物入侵。基于封顶式CO2生长室,模拟大气CO2浓度变化(对照和700μmol/mol),比较研究了外来入侵植物飞机草(Chromolaena odorata)和本地植物异叶泽兰(Eupatorium heterophyllum)形态、生长、生物量分配和光合特性对大气CO2浓度升高响应的差异。结果表明:(1)在当前大气CO2浓度下,飞机草总生物量、株高、基径和总叶面积高于异叶泽兰,分枝数低于异叶泽兰;CO2浓度升高,飞机的总生物量、株高、基径、分枝数和总叶面积分别增加了92%、41%、60%、325%和148%,高于异叶泽兰的32%、14%、30%、64%和79%,飞机草生长优势进一步提高。(2)无论在高或低CO2浓度下,飞机草根生物量分数(RMF)都低于异叶泽兰,叶生物量分数(LMF)和茎生物量分数(SMF)都高于异叶泽兰;CO2倍增两种植物RMF均降低,LMF和SMF均升高,但这2个参数对CO2倍增响应的种间差异不显著。(3)无论在高或低CO2浓度下,飞机草和异叶泽兰的净光合速率差异均不显著,CO2倍增对两种植物的净光合速率的促进作用相似。上述结果表明,在未来大气CO2浓度升高的条件下,飞机草的入侵性可能提高,入侵危害将加剧。     

地质封存CO2泄漏对玉米根系形态的影响

碳捕集与封存（Carbon Capture and Storage,CCS）是应对全球气候变化、实现煤炭清洁利用的有效手段之一,但是地质封存的CO₂存在泄漏的风险,可能对农田生态系统产生重大威胁,影响我国粮食安全。根系生长是地上部和地下部相互作用、相互促进的统一过程,其形态特征对作物生产力有显著影响,但CCS泄漏对植物根系的影响评估尚不多见。本文以玉米为研究对象,采用盆栽底部通入CO₂的方法模拟不同CO₂泄漏情景,研究CK（0 g m^-2 d^-1）和G1000（1000 g m^-2 d^-1）和G2000（2000 g m^-2 d^-1）三种泄漏情景下CO₂对玉米根系形态的影响。结果表明：CO₂泄漏对玉米根系形态有明显的影响,随着泄漏量的增大总根长从40290.81 cm减少至21448.18 cm,减少46.77%,其中细根大幅减少;CO₂泄漏造成玉米明显减产,最大减产率达26.64%;玉米的地上部生物量较地下部生物量对CO₂泄漏更加敏感。综合来看,随着CO₂泄漏量增大,对玉米根的生长、地上部生物量、地下部生物量以及产量有显著的抑制作用。作物根系形态对封存CO₂泄漏的响应可为CCS泄漏监测和生态修复提供系统科学依据。
