对新疆策勒绿洲外围多年生植物胡杨、柽柳、沙拐枣和骆驼刺的水分生理特性进行了试验研究.结果表明：4种植物在生长季内没有受到严重的水分胁迫,灌溉对植物水分生理指标变化的影响不显著(P＞0.05).4种植物水分生理特性的季节变化各不相同.其中,骆驼刺的清晨水势和日均茎流量最高,但其平均水分利用效率最低;沙拐枣的平均水分利用效率最高,而且其清晨水势与日均茎流量的变化最为稳定,季节变幅不大;柽柳的清晨水势最低,具有较好的环境适应性;胡杨水分生理指标的季节变化相对平稳.在新疆策勒绿洲外围的极端干旱环境中,4种植物通过深根系和地下水相连接,并利用地下水来维持其生存与生长.     

极端干旱条件下多年生植物水分关系参数变化特性

通过对生长在塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘极端干旱区野外生境条件下的4种多年生植物胡杨、柽柳、沙拐枣和骆驼刺的主要水分关系参数(P100为膨压最大时的渗透势;P0为膨压为零时的渗透势;emax为最大细胞弹性模量;RWCa为细胞在质壁分离点时的相对含水量)在植物生长周期内的变化特征进行了分析,结合对植物清晨水势和土壤含水率变化的系统进行测定。结果表明:4种植物在低水势下保持膨压能力大小的排序为柽柳>胡杨>骆驼刺>沙拐枣。4种植物应对水分胁迫的共同反应是在细胞出现质壁分离时,保持高的体内含水量;在耐旱机理上,沙拐枣和骆驼刺属于高水势延迟脱水类型,胡杨和柽柳属于低水势忍耐脱水类型;在植物生长期内,4种植物清晨水势的变化特征是,骆驼刺的清晨水势值最高,沙拐枣和胡杨的清晨水势值的季节变化较为稳定,柽柳的清晨水势值最低;植物清晨水势的变化趋势同其水分关系参数的变化特性基本一致;4种植物没有受到严重的水分胁迫,灌溉对植物水分关系参数变化的影响不显著;植物处并利用地下水来满足其生存和生长需求,维持地下水位的基本稳定,是保证多年生植物恢复重建的重要前提。     

四种荒漠植物的光合响应

研究了胡杨（Populus euphratica Oliv）、疏叶骆驼刺（Alhagi sparsifolia B.Keller et Shap)、多枝柽柳（Tamarix ramosissima Lbd)和头状沙拐枣（Calligonum caput-medusae Schrenk)等四种塔克拉玛干荒漠植物的光合响应曲线,结果表明：（1）四种植物中,疏叶骆驼刺光呼吸（Rp)和CO2补偿点（Г）最高,净光合速率（An）以及水分利用效率（WUE）最低;而C4植物头状沙拐枣无论Rp还是Г都最低,它的An、光补偿点（LCP）及光饱和点（LSP）都显著高于其它3种植物（P≤0．05）,而且因为非常低的蒸腾速率（E）,沙拐枣的WUE也较高。（2）4种植物都为喜光植物,但仍然表现出一定的差异。根据它们光曲线中LCP以及暗呼吸速率（Rd),4种喜光植物的喜光顺序为：头状沙拐枣,疏叶骆驼枣刺,多枝柽柳,胡杨。（3）柽柳光合响应曲线与日变化中的An,gs等值差异较大,可能是该植物的温度生态位较其它三种植物范围较窄,设置的25℃不在其最适温度范围内,或者是在这个温度下气孔对光强变化的不敏感。（4）综合前人的结果表明,在特定的环境条件,发育阶段以及经过一定的诱导处理,胡杨可以因诱导而表现出一些C4植物特征。     

Hydraulic efficiency and coordination with xylem resistance to cavitation, leaf function, and growth performance among eight unrelated Populus deltoidesxPopulus nigra hybrids

Tests were carried out to determine whether variations in the hydraulic architecture of eight Populus deltoides×Populus nigra genotypes could be related to variations in leaf function and growth performance. Measurements were performed in a coppice plantation on 1-year-old shoots under optimal irrigation. Hydraulic architecture was characterized through estimates of hydraulic efficiency (the ratio of conducting sapwood area to leaf area, A(X):A(L); leaf- and xylem-specific hydraulic conductance of defoliated shoots, k(SL) and k(SS), respectively; apparent whole-plant leaf-specific hydraulic conductance, k(plant)) and xylem safety (water potential inducing 50% loss in hydraulic conductance). The eight genotypes spanned a significant range of k(SL) from 2.63 kg s(-1) m(-2) MPa(-1) to 4.18 kg s(-1) m(-2) MPa(-1), variations being mostly driven by k(SS) rather than A(X):A(L). There was a strong trade-off between hydraulic efficiency and xylem safety. Values of k(SL) correlated positively with k(plant), indicating that high-pressure flowmeter (HPFM) measurements of stem hydraulic efficiency accurately reflected whole-plant water transport efficiency of field-grown plants at maximum transpiration rate. No clear relationship could be found between hydraulic efficiency and either net CO(2) assimilation rates, water-use efficiency estimates (intrinsic water-use efficiency and carbon isotope discrimination against (13)C), or stomatal characteristics (stomatal density and stomatal pore area index). Estimates of hydraulic efficiency were negatively associated with relative growth rate. This unusual pattern, combined with the trade-off observed between hydraulic efficiency and xylem safety, provides the rationale for the positive link already reported between relative growth rate and xylem safety among the same eight P. deltoides×P. nigra genotypes.     

骆驼刺在不同遮阴下的水分状况变化及其生理响应

为了研究骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia)在不同遮阴环境下的生理适应性, 以塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲外围骆驼刺为试验材料, 设置正常光照、中度遮阴(70%自然光)、重度遮阴(30%自然光) 3种光照环境, 观测了遮阴90天后土壤含水率, 骆驼刺水势、气孔导度(G_s)、叶形态、叶绿素(Chl)含量、脯氨酸(Pro)含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量、可溶性糖含量等在不同遮阴条件下的变化特征。结果显示: 随着遮阴强度的增大, 土壤含水率, 骆驼刺水势、G_s、比叶面积、Chl含量、类胡萝卜素含量有一定程度的增加; 骆驼刺叶片厚度、Pro含量、MDA含量、可溶性糖含量以及Chl a/Chl b有不同幅度的减少。结果表明: 一段时间内适度的遮阴在一定程度上降温增湿, 能够改善骆驼刺的生境, 从而避免高温强光和低水势对植物造成的伤害, 促进植物的生长, 但长期遮阴对植物的生长不利。因此建议通过短期的遮阴, 特别是在温度较高、光照较强的夏季正午前后对骆驼刺进行遮阴处理, 以达到对骆驼刺的逆境防护, 促进骆驼刺的生长。     

Clonal structure and genetic diversity of three desert phreatophytes

The objective of this paper was to assess clone sizes of three perennial desert plant species with AFLP markers and to relate them to clonal and genetic diversity and to hydroecology. The study was carried out at the southern rim of the Taklamakan Desert, where sexual regeneration is only possible shortly after rare flooding events, resulting in rarely established cohorts with subsequent extensive vertical growth and horizontal clonal spread. In this environment, repeated seedling establishment is excluded. We expected decreasing clonal and genetic diversity with increasing clone size and increasing distance to the groundwater table and a common response pattern among all study species. Maximum sizes of Populus euphratica and Alhagi sparsifolia clones were 121 ha and 6.1 ha, respectively, while Tamarix ramosissima clones reached a maximum size of only 38 m(2). In P. euphratica and A. sparsifolia, clonal diversity declined with increasing clone size and increasing distance to the groundwater table, while genetic diversity remained unaffected. Tamarix ramosissima differed from the other species because of a much smaller clonality. Clone size and clonal diversity were found to be good proxy variables for clone age. Despite the considerable age of the clones, genetic diversity is maintained in the populations.     

沙漠-绿洲过渡带四种多年生植物水分关系特征

沙漠一绿洲过渡带地区植被的可持续性在防止绿洲沙漠化的过程中非常重要。对过渡带主要植物种骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia Shap)、多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima Lebed．)、胡杨(Populus euphratica Oliv．)和头状沙拐枣(Calligonum caputmedusae Schrenk．)水分关系的研究表明：4种植物的水分恢复状况良好,清晨水势一直较高,水分亏缺并不严重。渗透势和正午水势的降低幅度不大,变化比较平稳,更像是一种生长过程中的结果．植物的水分胁迫状况并不明显。4种植物的水势和渗透势都高于典型的荒漠植物,属于中生植物的范围。水分参数的变化显示在同样的环境节律下,四种植物在水分生理的变化特征上有一致性。一直很高的RWCp值表明植物不能适应剧烈的水分损失和较低的水分含量,植物需要稳定充足的水分供应来适应塔克拉玛干极端气候条件下的生长环境。植物对环境胁迫也有各自不同的生理适应特点,胡杨的△Ⅱ值大,能忍受较多的水分损失维持气孔的开放;骆驼刺的ψp值最高,水分亏缺的平衡与恢复效果明显;C4植物头状沙拐枣能维持较高的水势和渗透势,而盐土植物多枝柽柳能忍受水势的很大降低。夏季一次性灌溉对骆驼刺、多枝柽柳和胡杨水分状况的改善基本没有影响,对头状沙拐枣有一定的帮助。植物群落和地下水关系密切,过渡带地区地下水位稳定在植物可接触的范围内是保证植物长期存活的关键。4种植物对干旱胁迫的适应为躲避型。     

胡杨叶片气孔导度特征及其对环境因子的响应

依据2005年对极端干旱区荒漠河岸林胡杨的观测资料,对胡杨气孔运动进行了分析研究以揭示胡杨的水分利用特征与抗旱机理。结果表明:(1)胡杨叶片气孔导度日变化呈现为周期波动曲线,其波动周期为2 h,傍晚(20:00)波动消失;净光合速率和蒸腾速率与气孔导度的波动相对应而呈现同步周期波动。(2)胡杨的阳生叶气孔导度高于阴生叶,且不同季节气孔导度值不同,阳生叶气孔导度的季节变幅大于阴生叶。(3)胡杨气孔导度与气温、相对湿度和叶水势有显著相关关系,当CO2浓度较小时,胡杨气孔导度随CO2浓度的增加而增加,当CO2浓度达到一定值后气孔导度不再增加,反而随CO2浓度的增加大幅度降低。(4)胡杨适应极端干旱区生境的气孔调节机制为反馈式反应,即由于叶水势降低导致气孔导度减小,从而减少蒸腾耗水,达到节约用水、适应干旱的目的,表明胡杨的水分利用效率随气孔限制值的增大而减小,二者呈显著负相关。     

Xylem cavitation and hydraulic control of stomatal conductance in Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.)

The possible link between stomatal conductance (g_L), leaf water potential ( Ψ _L) and xylem cavitation was studied in leaves and shoots of detached branches as well as of whole plants of Laurus nobilis L. (Laurel). Shoot cavitation induced complete stomatal closure in air‐dehydrated detached branches in less than 10 min. By contrast, a fine regulation of g_L in whole plants was the consequence of Ψ _L reaching the cavitation threshold ( Ψ _CAV) for shoots. A pulse of xylem cavitation in the shoots was paralleled by a decrease in g_L of about 50%, while Ψ _L stabilized at values preventing further xylem cavitation. In these experiments, no root signals were likely to be sent to the leaves from the roots in response to soil dryness because branches were either detached or whole plants were growing in constantly wet soil. The stomatal response to increasing evaporative demand appeared therefore to be the result of hydraulic signals generated during shoot cavitation. A negative feedback link is proposed between g_L and Ψ _CAV rather than with Ψ _L itself.     

Physiological response of riparian plants to watering in hyper-arid areas of Tarim River,China

The physiological responses and adaptive strategies of Populus euphratica Oliv.(arbor species),Tamarix ramosissima Ldb.(bush species),and Apocynum venetum L.(herb species)to variations in water and salinity stress were studied in the hyper-arid environment of the Tarim River in China.The groundwater table,the saline content of the groundwater,as well as the content of free proline,soluble sugars,plant endogenous hormones (abscisic acid (ABA),and cytokinins (CTK))of the leaves of the three species were monitored and analyzed at the lower reaches of the Tarim River in the study area where five transects were fixed at 100 m intervals along a vertical sampling line before and after water release.Saline stress dramatically increased soluble sugar concentration of the three species.Differences in sugar accumulation were determined among the species at different transects.The free proline concentration of the leaves of T.ramosissima and P.euphratica showed a proportional decrease with various degrees of elevation of the groundwater table after water release.There was a least correlation between the soluble sugars and proline stimulation in T.ramosissima.It was strongly suggested that T.ramosissima developed a different strategy to accumulate organic solutes to adapt to the stress environment.The soluble sugars and proline accumulation responded to the changes of groundwater table independently:the former occurred under salt stress,whereas the latter was more significant under drought stress.The concentration and the increase in concentration of ABA and CTK involved in stress resistance of the three species were also determined.This increase in the hormone concentration in P.euphratica was different from that of the other two species.Expressed as a function of increase of ABA concentration in leaves,A.venetum and T.ramosissima showed a different solute accumulation in response to groundwater table.There was a significant correlation between ABA accumulation and A [proline] in A.venetum as well as between ABA accumulation and △ [sugar] in T.ramosissima.     

Physiological Responses of Three Contrasting Plant Species to Groundwater Level Changes in an Arid Environment

Plants growing on both sides of the Tarim River in western China serve as a natural barrier containing the deserts and protecting the oasis, and their growth is greatly affected by water conditions In their local habitat. We studied the physiological responses of three different types plants （i.e. Populus euphratlca Oliver, Tamarix ramosissima L., and Apocynum venetumas Linn） to changing groundwater levels by analyzing changes in chlorophyll, soluble sugar, proline （Pro）, malondialdehyde （MDA）, superoxlde dlsmutase （SOD）, peroxidase （POD）, indoleacetic acid （IAA）, giberellic acid, abscisic acid （ABA） and cytokinin （CK）. Relationships between these physiological characteristics and groundwater levels were analyzed in order to assess the drought tolerance of the three plant species based on the values of average membership function. We found that MDA, SOD and ABA were more susceptible to changes in groundwater level, followed by POD, IAA and CK. Among the three plant species, Populus euphratica responded physiologically less to changing groundwater level than T. ramosissima and A. venetumas.     

Effects of wind erosion and sand burial on water relations and photosynthesis in Alhagi sparsifolia in the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert

塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘风沙活动十分频繁, 风蚀和沙埋是该地区自然植被生长发育的重要影响因子。该文以塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲-沙漠过渡带为研究区, 以该区域主要建群种植物骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia)为研究对象, 对一次强沙尘天气过后沙丘表面5种不同风蚀沙埋状况的骆驼刺植物进行标定(包括10 cm风蚀、5 cm风蚀、不蚀不积、10 cm沙埋、30 cm沙埋), 天晴后测定其叶水势、叶片含水量、光合参数和叶绿素荧光等参数, 分析研究自然环境条件下风蚀和沙埋对骆驼刺水分和光合作用的影响。结果表明: (1)风蚀显著降低了骆驼刺叶水势和叶片含水量, 进而导致植物气孔导度降低, 并引起植物光合速率和蒸腾速率的下降。风蚀的植物水分利用效率低于沙埋, 特别是在10 cm风蚀深度明显降低。 (2)沙埋增加了骆驼刺的叶水势、叶片含水量和气孔导度, 并引起植物光合速率和蒸腾速率的上升, 水分利用效率也得到提升。(3)风蚀条件下骆驼刺所受胁迫增加, 但可以通过增加活性反应中心的数量和光化学效率来抵消胁迫造成的不利影响。沙埋条件下骆驼刺受胁迫减轻, 反应中心吸收的光能和用于光化学反应的能量随着沙埋程度增加而减小, 这是骆驼刺适应风沙环境的一种生存策略。(4)与5 cm风蚀以及10 cm沙埋相比, 10 cm风蚀显著抑制骆驼刺的生长, 30 cm沙埋则会显著促进骆驼刺的生长。     

塔里木荒漠绿洲过渡带主要种群生态位与空间格局分析

于新疆塔里木盆地荒漠绿洲过渡带设置3条样带(长900 m×宽50 m)进行植物群落调查,运用生态位测度指标和点格局法对种群空间格局、空间关联性及生态位特征进行研究。结果显示,胡杨(Populus euphratica Oliv.)、多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb.)和甘草(Glycyrrhiza inflate Bat.)具有较大的重要值和生态位宽度,对其它生态位较窄的物种具有资源竞争和扩张优势,生态适应能力强,对群落结构和环境变化起决定性作用;生态过渡带植物的种间生态位重叠普遍较高,尤其是草本植物间更明显,此分配格局反映出荒漠植物长期适应旱化生境而发生趋同适应,生态位分化程度低,种间资源竞争激烈;优势种群空间格局呈明显的空间变异性,0~25 m尺度内多枝柽柳和甘草分别呈随机分布和聚集分布,胡杨种群在≤5 m尺度内呈聚集分布,并随尺度增大转为随机分布;胡杨与多枝柽柳、胡杨与甘草、多枝柽柳与甘草分别在4 m、≤16 m和≤25 m尺度内呈显著空间负关联,种间相互排斥。表明在匮乏环境资源条件下植物趋同适应与资源竞争是驱动荒漠植物群落演替和限制物种共存的主要原因。     

Adjustments of water use efficiency by stomatal regulation during drought and recovery in the drought-adapted Vitis hybrid Richter-110 (V. berlandieri x V. rupestris)

The hybrid Richter-110 (Vitis berlandieri x Vitis rupestris) (R-110) has the reputation of being a genotype strongly adapted to drought. A study was performed with plants of R-110 subjected to water withholding followed by re-watering. The goal was to analyze how stomatal conductance (g(s)) is regulated with respect to different physiological variables under water stress and recovery, as well as how water stress affects adjustments of water use efficiency (WUE) at the leaf level. Water stress induced a substantial stomatal closure and an increase in WUE, which persisted many days after re-watering. The g(s) during water stress was mainly related to the content of ABA in the xylem and partly related to plant hydraulic conductivity but not to leaf water potential. By contrast, low g(s) during re-watering did not correlate with ABA contents and was only related to a sustained decreased hydraulic conductivity. In addition to a complex physiological regulation of stomatal closure, g(s) and rate of transpiration (E) were strongly affected by leaf-to-air vapor pressure deficit (VPD) in a way dependent of the treatment. Interestingly, E increased with increasing VPD in control plants, but decreased with increasing VPD in severely stressed plants. All together, the fine stomatal regulation in R-110 resulted in very high WUE at the leaf level. This genotype is revealed to be very interesting for further studies on the physiological mechanisms leading to regulation of stomatal responsiveness and WUE in response to drought.     

Impacts of tree height on leaf hydraulic architecture and stomatal control in Douglas-fir

This study investigated the mechanisms involved in the regulation of stomatal closure in Douglas-fir and evaluated the potential impact of compensatory adjustments in response to increasing tree height upon these mechanisms. In the laboratory, we measured leaf hydraulic conductance (K(leaf)) as leaf water potential (Psi(l)) declined for comparison with in situ diurnal patterns of stomatal conductance (g(s)) and Psi(l) in Douglas-fir across a height gradient, allowing us to infer linkages between diurnal changes in K(leaf) and g(s). A recently developed timed rehydration technique was used in conjunction with data from pressure-volume curves to develop hydraulic vulnerability curves for needles attached to small twigs. Laboratory-measured K(leaf) declined with increasing leaf water stress and was substantially reduced at Psi(l) values of -1.34, -1.45, -1.56 and -1.92 MPa for foliage sampled at mean heights of approximately 20, 35, 44 and 55 m, respectively. In situ g(s) measurements showed that stomatal closure was initiated at Psi(l) values of -1.21, -1.36, -1.74 and -1.86 MPa along the height gradient, which was highly correlated with Psi(l) values at loss of K(leaf). Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that relative abundances of embolized tracheids in the central vein increased with increasing leaf water stress. Leaf embolism appeared to be coupled to changes in g(s) and might perform a vital function in stomatal regulation of plant water status and water transport in conifers. The observed trends in g(s) and K(leaf) in response to changes in Psi(l) along a height gradient suggest that the foliage at the tops of tall trees is capable of maintaining stomatal conductance at more negative Psi(l). This adaptation may allow taller trees to continue to photosynthesize during periods of greater water stress.     

风蚀和沙埋对塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘骆驼刺水分和光合作用的影响

塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘风沙活动十分频繁, 风蚀和沙埋是该地区自然植被生长发育的重要影响因子。该文以塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲-沙漠过渡带为研究区, 以该区域主要建群种植物骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia)为研究对象, 对一次强沙尘天气过后沙丘表面5种不同风蚀沙埋状况的骆驼刺植物进行标定(包括10 cm风蚀、5 cm风蚀、不蚀不积、10 cm沙埋、30 cm沙埋), 天晴后测定其叶水势、叶片含水量、光合参数和叶绿素荧光等参数, 分析研究自然环境条件下风蚀和沙埋对骆驼刺水分和光合作用的影响。结果表明: (1)风蚀显著降低了骆驼刺叶水势和叶片含水量, 进而导致植物气孔导度降低, 并引起植物光合速率和蒸腾速率的下降。风蚀的植物水分利用效率低于沙埋, 特别是在10 cm风蚀深度明显降低。 (2)沙埋增加了骆驼刺的叶水势、叶片含水量和气孔导度, 并引起植物光合速率和蒸腾速率的上升, 水分利用效率也得到提升。(3)风蚀条件下骆驼刺所受胁迫增加, 但可以通过增加活性反应中心的数量和光化学效率来抵消胁迫造成的不利影响。沙埋条件下骆驼刺受胁迫减轻, 反应中心吸收的光能和用于光化学反应的能量随着沙埋程度增加而减小, 这是骆驼刺适应风沙环境的一种生存策略。(4)与5 cm风蚀以及10 cm沙埋相比, 10 cm风蚀显著抑制骆驼刺的生长, 30 cm沙埋则会显著促进骆驼刺的生长。     

宁夏平原北部地下水埋深浅地区不同灌木的水分来源

宁夏平原北部引黄灌区地下水埋深浅是该地区土壤盐碱化的主要原因, 种植耐盐植物可以吸收利用地下水, 在降低地下水位的同时可以减少对地面灌溉的依赖。为了分析银川平原北部4种灌木对不同水源的利用特征, 于2010年生长季测定了灌溉前后20年生多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)、3年生多枝柽柳、3年生宁夏枸杞(Lycium barbarum)和3年生四翅滨藜(Atriplex canescens)木质部水及不同潜在水源稳定氧、氢同位素组成(δ¹⁸O和δD), 应用IsoSource同位素线性混合模型估算了不同灌木对不同水源的利用率。同时测定了0-200 cm土壤剖面的全盐含量、含水量和pH值以及灌溉前后光合气体交换参数。结果表明: 不同深度土壤水δ¹⁸O和δD值存在较大差异, 并呈规律性变化。土壤水δ¹⁸O和δD值随深度加深呈逐渐降低的趋势。灌溉后80 cm以上土壤水δ¹⁸O和δD值低于灌溉前。无论灌溉前还是灌溉后, 20年生多枝柽柳与3年生灌木相比具有更低的δ¹⁸O和δD值。灌溉前, 3年生多枝柽柳、宁夏枸杞和四翅滨藜主要利用表层土壤水(70.1%、52.3%和48.9%); 20年生多枝柽柳对地下水的利用率最高(21.5%)。灌溉后, 3年生多枝柽柳和宁夏枸杞对80-140 cm土壤水利用率较高(59.5%和58.8%)。20年生多枝柽柳对地下水的利用率最高(18.3%)。灌溉前, 20年生多枝柽柳净光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率显著高于其他3种灌木, 灌溉后3年生四翅滨藜净光合速率最高。灌溉对3年生多枝柽柳和宁夏枸杞的净光合速率和气孔导度有显著影响。无论灌溉前还是灌溉后, 3年生四翅滨藜瞬间水分利用效率均高于其他3种灌木。研究表明, 不同灌木在不同水分条件下水分利用策略不同, 这主要与植物种类及树龄有关。灌溉前幼龄多枝柽柳凭借其对干旱较强的忍耐能力利用浅层不饱和土壤水, 灌溉后其又转而利用中层土壤水, 表现出潜水湿生植物的特征, 主要吸收利用深层土壤水分, 对灌溉反应不明显。     

Ecological adaptation characteristics of Populus euphraticaeuphratica and Tamarix ramosissima leaf microstructures in the lower reaches of Tarim River

In order to explore the ecological adaptation in leaf microstructures of Populus euphratica and Tamarix ramosissima in the lower reaches of Tarim River; we used scanning electron microscopy to observe epidermal, cuticular and cross-sectional structures of P. euphratica and T. ramosissima leaves. In addition, their cell submicroscopic structures were studied with transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed that through long-term adaptation to the same environmental conditions, micro-structural of the leaves for the two species exhibit high degree of homoplasy: there is cavity between cuticle and epidermal, and cuticle bulges outwards to form processes mammillaris and epidermal hairs; stomata concaves; fence and vascular tissues are developed; both alisade cells and thin walled cells have chloroplast; vacuoles occupies large volume of the cell space; etc. These features help plants resist drought stress. The salt glands and salt crystallization of T. ramosissima reveals the strong ability of salt stress resistance, but its drought-resistance capacity is weaker than P. euphratica. The specific components of the various shapes of crystal structures in their leaves call for further study.     

咸水灌溉对沙土土壤盐分和胡杨生理生长的影响

通过咸水灌溉沙土土质生长的幼龄胡杨,分析了咸水灌溉沙土土壤盐分分布累积特点、盐分胁迫对胡杨的耗水生长关系、叶绿素、Pro、MDA的影响,结果表明:(1)在1.2—3 g/L范围内,微咸水灌溉沙土处于脱盐状态,6—12 g/L咸水灌溉使沙土积盐大增。在整个生长周期内,微咸水和咸水灌溉,0—200 cm内土体的总盐都呈累积趋势。(2)咸水灌溉胡杨,不同盐分处理的生长耗水关系可以用对数模型描述。(3)盐分胁迫下,胡杨叶片内叶绿素含量呈抛物线递减,Pro和MDA含量则呈现抛物线递增趋势。说明短期内咸水灌溉对土壤安全和胡杨的生长影响有限,可用咸水解决生态缺水现状,3种生理指标可用来衡量胡杨的盐胁迫程度,以此为指导提高人工造林的成活率。
