四川理县杂谷脑干旱河谷岷江柏造林恢复效果评价

在岷江干旱河谷杂古脑河流域,选择岷江柏(Cupressus chengiana)5个不同年份的造林地,调查了岷江柏的生长情况、植物群落特征与土壤理化性质,总体评价干旱河谷乡土树种的造林成效及造林后的生态效果。结果表明:不同年份造林地岷江柏幼树生长状况良好,2003年造林地生长最好,基径、树高和冠径分别达到4.39cm、4.17m和1.01m,当年生长量超过43cm;2001年和2005年造林地次之,基径为4.19cm和4.52cm,冠径为0.55m和0.61m,当年生长量37cm左右,树高为2.50和2.17m;2007年和2009年造林地由于幼树生长时间较短,其基径、树高和冠径都较小,但当年生长量也都超过20cm。不同年份造林地的植被覆盖度变化相对复杂,除2001年造林地外,灌木层盖度随造林时间的增加而逐渐降低;草本层盖度变化较小,2005造林地最高,其他年份造林地没有显著差异。同时,不同年份造林地的群落结构都比较单一,随造林时间的增长,群落物种数量反而降低。在5个不同年份造林地,土壤pH、有机质和养分含量差异相对较小,土壤含水量尽管存在较大差异,但没有明显的变化趋势。综合分析认为,在杂谷脑干旱河谷中山区岷江柏作为造林树种具有一定的生长优势,但造林地的植被和土壤并没有得到改善,需要更加长期的观测评估。

Do Interspecific Differences in Sapling Growth Traits Contribute to the Co-dominance of Acer saccharum and Fagus grandifolia?

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Acer saccharum and Fagus grandifolia are among the most dominant late-successional tree species in North America. The influence of sapling growth responses to canopy gaps on the co-dominance of the two species in an old-growth forest in southern Quebec, Canada was examined. Two predictions were evaluated: (a) F. grandifolia is more shade tolerant than A. saccharum due to greater sapling leaf area and net production per sapling in closed-canopy conditions; and (b) the height growth rate of A. saccharum in canopy gaps is greater than that of F. grandifolia due to increased net production per sapling. METHODS: Sapling crown allometry, net production and height growth rates were compared between and within the two species in closed canopy vs. canopy gaps. Standardized major axis regression was used to analyse differences in crown allometry. KEY RESULTS: F. grandifolia had greater crown projection, sapling leaf area and net production rate per sapling than A. saccharum in closed-canopy conditions. In response to canopy gaps, net production per sapling increased to the same degree in both species. The net production per sapling of F. grandifolia thus was much greater than that of A. saccharum in both canopy gap and closed-canopy conditions. The height growth rate of both species increased in canopy gaps, but the degree of increase was greater in F. grandifolia than in A. saccharum. CONCLUSIONS: F. grandifolia regenerated more successfully than A. saccharum in both closed-canopy conditions and canopy gaps, which indicates that the co-dominance of the two species cannot be maintained simply by interspecific differences in shade tolerance and growth in gaps. Previous research showed that although Fagus and Acer shared dominance at this site, their relative dominance shifted with edaphic conditions. This suggests that the widespread co-dominance of the two species in eastern North American forests is maintained by the joint influence of canopy disturbance and species-specific responses to the heterogeneity of moisture and fertility regimes within forested landscapes.     

Demographic implications of life-history stage characteristics in two African acacias at a Makeni savanna plot in Zambia

Aims In spite of the importance of African acacias in vegetation succession and provision of goods and services, little is known about life-history variations within and among species. Much of the work done on African acacias has focused on seed predation and germination and seedling establishment, especially of Acacia tortilis, Acacia nilotica and Acacia karroo. The primary aim of the present work is to investigate differences in the demography of Acacia polyacantha and Acacia sieberiana and the relationship between life-history characteristics and population size. A secondary objective is to assess how fire, an important ecological factor in savanna vegetation, might modify the growth and demographic dynamics of the two acacias.Methods The study was conducted at the Makeni savanna plot in central Zambia, southern Africa. Seedling emergence from both non-scarified and scarified seeds sown at different times in the wet season and the fate and growth of seedlings and saplings were monitored over a period of 4 years. Annual growth of permanently marked sample trees in annually burnt and fire-protected blocks was recorded over a 6-year period (2002–08) in order to assess inter-specific differences and how fire modifies tree growth patterns. Censuses of natural saplings and trees were conducted periodically in sample blocks to determine recruitment into these life-history stages.Important findings Seedling emergence and sapling survival rates were much higher in A. sieberiana than in A. polyacantha. However, both seedling and sapling growth rates were higher in A. polyacantha than in A. sieberiana but tree growth rates were similar in the two species. Under fire protection tree growth was significantly influenced by tree size and year while under annual burning only tree size significantly affected tree growth. The dominance of A. sieberiana over A. polyacantha at the study site was attributed to higher seedling emergence rate, higher sapling survival rate and a large sapling bank that forms a reliable source of tree recruitment. The life-history stage characteristics of A. polyacantha suggest that this is an early successional species.     

The effect of age on height growth in even-sized saplings of Fagus sylvatica L.

Key message

After controlling for the effects of size and light, partial regression revealed that height growth of common beech saplings was negatively affected by sapling age.

Abstract

Common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) saplings were studied along gradients of light availability (4–82 % of full sunlight), initial size (9–290 cm), and age (2–25 years) to examine the interactive effect of these variables on saplings’ annual height growth. Although age was non-significant as a main effect in a linear model, sapling age had a significant interaction with the other variables. After controlling for the effects of size and light, partial regression revealed that height growth was negatively affected by sapling age. Observed growth decline in older common-sized saplings may be explained not as effect of age per se, but as indirect age-related effect probably induced through plastic response of saplings to past growth conditions.     

樟子松幼树株高及其逆境生理指标对沙埋的响应特征

以3龄樟子松幼树为材料,2013年在科尔沁沙地研究了不同沙埋深度下其株高、叶片膜透性、渗透调节物质含量及保护酶活性变化,以揭示沙埋条件下樟子松幼树生长及其对逆境的生理响应特征。结果显示:(1)在沙埋深度低于株高以上2cm时被埋樟子松幼树能够正常生长,其株高和芽长均明显高于非沙埋对照,并以沙埋深度为株高的50%时增长幅度最大;当沙埋深度超过株高2cm以上时,虽然植株高度和芽长也较埋前有一定增长,但均低于对照,且所有处理植株均未破土,后来全部死亡。(2)所有沙埋处理的叶片可溶性糖含量均显著低于对照,而POD活性显著高于对照,可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸含量也高于对照。(3)随沙埋深度增加,叶片相对含水量总体呈增加趋势,但大多数处理与对照差异不显著;丙二醛含量基本呈显著下降趋势,可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量先增加后下降,而大多数处理的膜透性与对照差异不显著;随着沙埋深度增加,叶片可溶性糖含量显著下降,SOD和POD活性均先增加后下降。(4)相关分析显示,樟子松幼树叶片膜透性变化与MDA含量变化相关性几乎为零,可溶性蛋白与脯氨酸含量呈显著正相关关系,可溶性糖含量与脯氨酸含量呈显著负相关关系。研究表明,沙埋深度低于樟子松株高以上2cm能够促进其幼树生长;沙埋并没有导致樟子松幼树体内的膜脂过氧化,也没有引起细胞膜的损伤,在受到沙埋胁迫时,樟子松幼树体内SOD、POD以及可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸分别在防止其膜脂过氧化和维持细胞膨压中起到重要作用,而可溶性糖含量在沙埋过程中没有起到渗透调节作用。

Sapling communities in Amazonian white-water forests

Aim Structure and floristic composition of forest regeneration (trees between 1 and 10 cm diameter at breast height (d.b.h), ≥ 1 m growth height) was described in three forest types of Amazonian white‐water forests (várzea), in order to analyse whether floristic composition of saplings is related to the successional stage of the forests, whether it differs in comparision with the mature flora, and if there exists a zonation of sapling species along the gradients of flooding and irradiation. Location Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve, Western Brazilian Amazon. Methods The investigated forests were of the low and the high várzea type, on an annual average flooded around 4 and 1 months, respectively. The two low‐várzea forests belonged to the secondary and to the late‐successional stage, the high‐várzea forest also to the late‐successional stage. A total of 24 circular sample plots covering 1885 m² were installed. They were nested within three rectangular 1 ha permanent sample plots where individuals ≥ 10 cm d.b.h. were formerly inventoried. Average inundation and radiation [relative photosynthetically active radiation (rPAR)] at the forest floor was recorded in all inventoried plots. The Mean spatial Distribution Center (MDC; Ebdon, 1998 ) for all sapling species was calculated. Sapling species were grouped into associations with respect to their light‐demand and their location along the flood‐level gradient. Results Average flood height and average rPAR at the forest floor was highest in the secondary stage of the low várzea and lowest in the high‐várzea forest. Overall average density and basal area of the saplings averaged 2250 individuals and 2.3 m² ha^?1 in the secondary stage, 2330 individuals and 2.6 m² ha^?1 in the late‐successional stage of the low várzea and 5000 individuals and 4.8 m² ha^?1 in the high várzea. In all forest types, species richness of saplings was lower than species richness of trees ≥ 10 cm d.b.h., and amounted to 25 species in the secondary stage, to 35 species in the late‐successional stage of the low várzea and to 88 species in the high‐várzea forest. The amount of ‘immigrants’ ( Bazzaz, 1991 ) at the sapling level increased with proceeding forest succession and amounted to 24 and 29% in the low várzea and to 31% in the high várzea. Sapling species distribution, species richness and individual density was linked to both, the gradient of flooding and the gradient of irradiation. Species richness and individual density was highest in the high várzea and decreased with increasing influence of flooding. The high várzea was predominated by pronounced shade‐tolerant sapling species, whereas in the low várzea occured both, light demanding and shade‐tolerant species groups. Main conclusions Influence of flooding seems to be the main factor triggering species composition and structure of sapling communities in várzea forests. Proceeding forest succession reduces the impact of flooding because of the biogenical induced silting up of the forested sites. However, forest succession also alters forest architecture of the overstory and such the light conditions at the sapling level. Therefore, radiation is an important factor influencing species composition of sapling communities in várzea forests.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization of giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) in response to restoration practices

Interactions with soil microbiota determine the success of restoring plants to their native habitats. The goal of our study was to understand the effects of restoration practices on interactions of giant sequoia Sequoiadendron giganteum with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomeromycota). Natural regeneration of Sequoiadendron is threatened by the absence of severe fires that create forest canopy gaps. Generating artificial canopy gaps offers an alternative tool for giant sequoia restoration. We investigated the effect of regeneration practices, including (i) sapling location within gaps, (ii) gap size and (iii) soil substrate, on AM fungal colonization of giant sequoia sapling roots in a native giant sequoia grove of the Sierra Nevada, California. We found that the extent of AM fungal root colonization was positively correlated with sapling height and light availability, which were related to the location of the sapling within the gap and the gap size. While colonization frequency by arbuscules in saplings on ash substrate was higher relative to saplings in mineral soil, the total AM fungal root colonization was similar between the substrates. A negative correlation between root colonization by Glomeromycota and non-AM fungal species indicated antagonistic interactions between different classes of root-associated fungi. Using DNA genotyping, we identified six AM fungal taxa representing genera Glomus and Ambispora present in Sequoiadendron roots. Overall, we found that AM fungal colonization of giant sequoia roots was associated with availability of plant-assimilated carbon to the fungus rather than with the AM fungal supply of mineral nutrients to the roots. We conclude that restoration practices affecting light availability and carbon assimilation alter feedbacks between sapling growth and activity of AM fungi in the roots.     

Seedling stage of two subalpineAbies species in distinction from sapling stage: A matter-economic analysis

A growth analytical study is made on the seedlings ofAbies mariesii Mast. andAbies veitchii Lindl. in the subalpine climaxAbies forests of the northern Yatsugatake Mountains, central Japan. Seedlings are distinguished from saplings by the absence of the fully expanded lateral branch system. The high dependence of assimilation on new needles characterizes the lives of seedlings. Leader shoots of seedlings, resembling not leader shoots but lateral branch shoots of saplings, have shoot characters adaptive for assimilation. Seedlings grow into saplings at 20 cm in height and 5 g in dry weight. The matter-economic analysis suggests the existence of a boundary growth rate below which an individual cannot maintain the needle amount requisite for its survival (called the critical growth rate) and that above which an individual can easily enter the sapling stage due to higher allocation of assimilate to roots and aged trunk stem (the capacity growth rate). Forest floor seedlings suffer, a high mortality during their initial several years and scarcely grow to enter the sapling stage, because of the scantiness of their matter production. In the regeneration patterns of subalpineAbies forests, both the seedling bank type and the sapling bank type are recognized.
