干旱区多枝柽柳的生长特性

多枝柽柳是分布最为广泛的柽柳属植物之一。也是维持干旱区荒漠生态系统的关键植物种。本研究运用树轮年代学和树干解析方法。对额济纳地区不同生境条件下多枝柽柳的年轮生长、高生长和地径生长等方面的特征进行初步探讨。多枝柽柳每年形成1个年轮。树盘偏心生长极为普遍．完整树轮大多在10龄以内区域,10龄以外都呈单个或多个不完整年轮生长区。多枝柽柳单枝在1～4年高生长缓慢．4～8龄之间属于快速生长期,10年以上生长速率急剧下降。不同地下水位条件下三组样本径生长年增长速率达到极大值的年龄分别为21、56和74年,水环境条件是影响多枝柽柳径向生长的主要因素。同一年年轮宽度随枝高呈减小趋势。多枝柽柳边材的树轮数一般在3～5轮之间,进入老龄阶段有增加趋势。边材宽度随年龄增长逐渐减小。     

黑河中游荒漠绿洲过渡带多枝柽柳对地下水位变化的生理生态响应与适应

以黑河中游荒漠绿洲过渡带主要建群种多枝柽柳成年体为研究对象,对野外不同地下水埋深处柽柳叶片生理生态特性进行观测和分析,评价分析多枝柽柳对地下水埋深差异和地下水位季节变化的响应过程和适应机制.结果显示:在相似大气环境条件下,不同地下水埋深之间,多枝柽柳叶片的生理生态指标没有明显差异,但对于地下水位的季节波动,则表现出较为明显的变化和响应;柽柳通过气孔的调节,在更深地下水埋深下,水分条件更差时,保持了稳定的气孔导度和较高的叶片胞间二氧化碳浓度,从而维持相对稳定的碳同化能力及较高水分利用效率,表现出较好的适应能力;在不同地下水埋深下,叶片生理生态指标随地下水位下降的响应特征呈现出明显差异,这种差异暗示了黑河中游荒漠绿洲过渡带多枝柽柳的适宜地下水位在3 m左右.     

新疆古尔班通古特沙漠南缘多枝柽柳光合作用及水分利用的生态适应性

光合作用和水分利用是陆地生态系统中限制植物光合同化和个体生长发育的重要因素。为了从根本上认识到荒漠绿洲过渡带植物对特殊生境和气候变化的响应和适应机制,有必要深入的了解植被对不同环境因子适应过程的协调性。本文以新疆古尔班通古特沙漠南缘荒漠绿洲过渡带的建群种多枝柽柳（Tamarix ramosissima）为研究对象,分别在自然状态,模拟降水、遮光处理以及降水和遮光双因子处理下,利用LI-6400光合作用系统和Model 3500植物水分压力室分别测定光合作用和枝条水势,研究多枝柽柳枝条水势对浅层土壤水分和光照变化的响应,以及在不同条件下的水分利用效率（WUE）和光能利用效率（LUE）的日进程。结果表明：这四种处理方式下,枝条水势随土壤水分的变化没有明显的差异,趋势表现为黎明前枝条水势最高（-1.2 MPa）,正午枝条水势最低（-3.2 MPa）,太阳落山后枝条水势逐渐升高的趋势;WUE和LUE日变化呈现出近似双峰型抛物线,WUE日变化曲线在11:00和16:00有两个不明显的波峰,LUE日变化曲线在10:00和16:00出现两个明显波峰。当光照发生变化时,遮光处理下的WUE和LUE日变化都较自然状态下的日变化低,分别降低了1.5 ?mol CO2?mmol-1 H2O的WUE和0.20*10-2 ?mol CO2??mol-1APAR的LUE。研究表明,作为深根系植物的多枝柽柳,生存主要依靠地下水来补给水分,所以浅层土壤水分条件变化没有明显引起光合和蒸腾的响应。而午间光强、高温是构成多枝柽柳光抑制现象的主要原因,这是多枝柽柳长期在荒漠绿洲过渡带形成的对抗环境胁迫的一种表现。     

策勒绿洲多枝柽柳灌溉前后水分生理指标变化的初步研究

在位于塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘的策勒绿洲对引洪灌溉后枝柽柳清晨叶水势、水势日变化和蒸腾速率的变化特点进行了研究。结果表明,灌溉后柽柳的清晨水势值（－0．93MPa）比灌溉前的清晨水势值（－1．04Ma）有所增加,但幅度不大,因此,灌溉对柽柳清晨水势的恢复有一定的作用,灌溉后柽柳水势的日变化均值（－2．29MPa）比灌溉前的水势日变化均值（－1．69Ma）有较大降低,灌溉后柽柳蒸腾速率的日变化值（0．505mmol.m^-2s^-1）比灌溉前的蒸腾速率日变化值（0．18mmol.m^-2s^-1）有较大增加,从灌溉前后样地土壤含水量的树柳的根系分布情况看,这是柽柳利用地下水的结果。柽柳通过深根系和地下水相接,地表灌溉对柽柳水分状况改变的作用不明显。     

豚草叶片和果实气体交换特性与11种土壤重金属相关性

对10个样地中Cu、Pb、Zn、Mn、Cr、Co、Ni、Cd、As、Sb和Hg11种土壤重金属含量及样地内豚草叶片和果实气体交换特性进行测定.结果表明,样地内豚草叶片的净光合速率在1·88~9·41μmol·m-2·s-1,而果实的净光合速率最高可达2·81μmol·m-2·s-1.叶片的呼吸速率、气孔导度、光合速率和水分利用效率的平均值分别为1·81μmol·m-2·s-1、75·7mmol·m-2·s-1、6·05μmol·m-2·s-1和4·72μmol·mmol-1,分别是果实的5·26、0·64、1·31和1·69倍,说明非同化器官幼嫩果实具有与叶片相当,甚至更强的呼吸、光合能力和水分利用效率;研究地点重金属Ni达到轻微污染水平,其它重金属含量都接近或者显著低于重金属污染的阈值.相关分析和多元回归分析显示,大部分土壤重金属(如Cu、Pb、Zn、Cd、As、Sb和Hg)含量的高低对豚草气体交换特性没有显著影响,仅部分重金属含量与豚草的叶片、果实气体交换特性密切相关,如Ni和Cr对豚草叶片、果实的气孔导度及水分利用效率显著相关;Cr与豚草叶片饱和光合速率显著相关;而As与豚草果实的气孔导度显著相关.表明大部分土壤重金属对叶片和球果的气体交换没有直接影响,而Ni、Cr和As可以在轻微污染甚至没有达到污染水平时影响豚草的气体交换特性.     

石羊河下游不同衰退程度多枝柽柳灌丛水分利用格局研究

多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)灌丛是石羊河下游防风固沙林的重要组成,对绿洲免受风沙灾害侵袭发挥着关键作用。由于区域水文环境的恶化,多枝柽柳灌丛大面积退化死亡,亟需人工恢复,但其季节水分来源尚不清楚。为此,基于氢氧稳定同位素示踪技术,运用IsoSource模型,定量分析了不同衰退程度多枝柽柳灌丛的水分利用策略。 结果表明：2016年石羊河下游降雨以小于5 mm小降雨事件为主,降雨氧稳定同位素值(δ¹⁸O)的季节效应明显。降水线方程为氢稳定同位素氘值δD=6.46δ¹⁸O-5.11, R²=0.87。整体上,不同衰退程度多枝柽柳灌丛土壤水分在夏季较低,秋季略为恢复。由于衰退程度越严重蒸腾耗水越低,生长季多枝柽柳灌丛土壤水分大小排序为重度(3.48%)>极重度(2.69%)>中度(1.97%)> 轻度(1.87%)。降雨与土壤水δD 的变化关系分析表明,6-10月降雨对衰退多枝柽柳灌丛土壤水补给贡献较大。土壤水、降水、地下水是不同退化程度多枝柽柳灌丛的潜在水源。受春季蒸发损失小,冠层截留少,以及土壤生物结皮的综合影响,不同衰退阶段多枝柽柳春季对降水的平均利用比例达40.63%,大小排序为重度衰退(58.5%)>中度衰退(41.7%)>轻度衰退(39.3%)>极重度衰退(23%)。春季到秋季衰退多枝柽柳灌丛趋向于利用可靠的深层地下水。随生境水分可获得性的变化,不同衰退程度多枝柽柳选择性利用降雨、土壤水、地下水。虽然能勉强维持生存,但石羊河下游衰退多枝柽柳灌丛有被红砂(Reaumuria soongarica)等超耐旱小灌木替代的趋势。建议干旱区人工植被建设应以水定绿,灌草结合,少选择乔木、大灌木等高耗水植物种作为固沙造林树种。     

多枝柽柳春夏两季开花物候特征与生殖特性

为了研究多枝柽柳的两季开花物候特征与生殖特性,对分布于古尔班通古特沙漠南缘莫索湾荒漠区的多枝柽柳自然种群各水平的开花物候指数、开花过程中的花部特征变化和结实特性进行了观察和统计。结果表明:(1)多枝柽柳春花期为5月下旬至6月上旬,表现为"集中开花模式",夏花期为6月中旬至9月上旬,表现为"持续开花模式"。(2)多枝柽柳春、夏花期的群体、个体、花序和单花水平的花期持续时间分别为14d、10d、3d、1d和85d、77d、2d、1d。(3)花序水平上夏花期始花日期、开花持续时间、开花数和座果数两两之间均存在显著相关关系。(4)两季花期间单花水平的开花进程与形态结构没有明显差异。(5)春花期的结实率显著高于夏花期,但两季花期结籽率差异不显著。(6)春花期昆虫访花次数显著高于夏花期。(7)两季花期的花粉活力没有明显差异,春花期的柱头可授性持续时间比夏花期长。研究认为,古尔班通古特沙漠南缘莫索湾荒漠区的生境条件恶劣,多枝柽柳特殊的春、夏两季开花结实特性在一定程度上提高了其生殖成功的可能性,是对特殊生境的适应性表现。     

内蒙古产柽柳和多枝柽柳α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性

首次利用体外α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制模型以96微孔板法,对内蒙古产2种柽柳属植物不同溶剂提取物进行活性评价,并与阳性对照Acarbose比较,发现6种提取物均有较好的α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制作用,远远强于阳性对照Acarbose(IC50=1103.01μg·mL-1)的抑制活性。结果显示,同一植物不同溶剂提取物相比较,两者石油醚提取物α-葡萄糖苷酶抑制活性不及乙酸乙酯和正丁醇提取物;不同植物同一溶剂的提取物抑制活性也不同,6种提取物中,多枝柽柳的正丁醇和柽柳的乙酸乙酯提取物抑制活性最高(IC50=13.36和17.35μg·mL-1)。所有提取物对α-葡萄糖苷酶活性的抑制效果均很好,且多枝柽柳抑制活性整体上较柽柳好,具有良好的潜在开发价值。     

古尔班通古特沙漠西南缘多枝柽柳生理特性对沙堆不同堆积阶段的响应

多枝柽柳作为干旱荒漠区重要的防风固沙灌木,其长期与风沙作用过程中形成了柽柳灌丛沙堆,在维持区域生态环境稳定及遏制沙漠蔓延方面发挥着重要作用。以古尔班通古特沙漠西南缘地区不同发育阶段沙堆上生长的多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)为研究对象,以空间序列代替时间序列的方法模拟沙堆堆积发育过程,揭示多枝柽柳生理特征对沙堆不同堆积发育阶段的响应及适应机制。结果表明:(1) 在沙堆堆积发育过程中,多枝柽柳叶片相对含水量(RWC)及自由水/束缚水(V_s/V_a)均呈先上升后下降的变化,其中,在增长阶段沙堆上最高,衰退阶段沙堆上最低,水分饱和亏(WSD)则呈相反趋势;组织含水量(TWC)呈逐渐上升的变化,清晨水势(Ψ_PD)及正午水势(Ψ_MD)呈逐渐降低的变化。 (2) 在沙堆堆积发育过程中,多枝柽柳的光合有效辐射(PAR)、叶片温度(T_L)、光合电子传递速率(ETR)以及调节性能量耗散[Y_(NPQ)]日变化均呈先上升后下降的变化,衰退阶段沙堆上多枝柽柳各参数的日均值最大;各发育阶段沙堆上多枝柽柳的非调节性能量耗散[Y_(NO)]日变化均呈先下降后上升的变化,实际光化学效率[Y_(II)]日变化均呈"N"型,且Y_(II)日均值大小依次为增长阶段沙堆 (0.489)>稳定阶段沙堆(0.463)>雏形阶段沙堆 (0.455)>衰退阶段沙堆 (0.439)。(3) 气温(TEMP)和PAR与叶片Y_(II)均呈显著负相关,与ETR均呈显著正相关;Y_(II)与ETR、Y_(NO)与Y_(NPQ) 均呈现显著负相关;PAR、TEMP是影响不同堆积阶段沙堆上多枝柽柳生理特性的主要环境因子。综合分析表明,在沙堆堆积发育过程中,多枝柽柳可通过调节光合作用和水分利用之间的协同关系来响应微环境的变化,从而减少其脱水风险以实现最大程度资源利用。     

极端干旱区多枝柽柳叶片气孔导度的环境响应模拟

气孔通过调节植物体水分散失和CO₂吸收在植物适应环境变化和环境胁迫中发挥重要作用。该文在对极端干旱区多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissma)叶片气体交换参数观测的基础上, 引入诊断函数f(H)对BWB模型和BBL模型提出的气孔导度(g_s)模型中的空气湿度(h_s或D_s)进行了评价, 并将评价结果引入叶子飘和于强推导出的g_s机理模型。结果表明: (1) BWB和BBL模型对h_s (或D_s)的模拟效果存在很大差异: BWB模型拟合效果较好(R² = 0.5354), BBL模型的结果显著但效果较差(R² = 0.1103)。试验结果显示: 随h_s(或D_s)的增大, g_s呈先增大后减小的趋势, 可用Gauss模型进行拟合, R²分别为0.593和0.258, 说明g_s与h_s的关系要比D_s更密切; (2)叶子飘和于强给出的简化模型(Simple模型)和该文给出的指数模型(Gauss-h模型)均具有较好的模拟效果(R²分别为0.8707和0.8286), η值分别为0.1245和0.0171, 其值均介于0-1之间; (3)模型验证中Gauss-h模型较Simple模型明显低估了观测值, 当观测条件无限趋近于Simple模型的假设时, Simple模型的拟合效果可得到显著提高(R² = 0.9606)。     

不同程度的水分胁迫对中间锦鸡儿幼苗气体交换特征的影响

为探讨未来降水减少对内蒙古皇甫川流域人工栽培主要灌木树种中间锦鸡儿气体交换特征的影响 ,特设计正常降雨水平、偏旱、干旱和极端干旱 4种水分处理水平 ,进行人工模拟水分胁迫实验。结果表明 ,不同的水分处理显著影响土壤含水量、土壤温度、净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、资源利用效率和叶片水势。适度的水分胁迫 (干旱环境 )能够提高中间锦鸡儿的水分利用效率和抗旱性 ,同时也降低了净光合速率与蒸腾速率。随水分胁迫的增强 ,中间锦鸡儿的净光合速率日变化曲线逐渐从典型的单峰型转变成双峰型 ,出现光合“午睡”现象。根据 Farquhar和 Sharkey提出的判别标准 ,干旱和极端干旱下光合“午睡”的原因分别以气孔因素和非气孔因素 (叶肉细胞光合能力下降 )为主。中间锦鸡儿通过自身的生理调节以抵抗干旱 ,是其能够适应干旱环境、历经 3a大旱而幸存下来的重要原因     

Influences of PAR, temperature and water vapor concentration on gas exchange by ferns

The effects of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), leaf temperature and the leaf-to-air water vapor concentration drop on net CO₂ uptake and water vapor conductance were surveyed for 14 species of ferns. Most previous studies indicated that ferns have extremely low maximal rates of net CO₂ uptake, below 2 umol m^?2 s^?1, whereas the average maximal rate observed here at 25⁰ C was 7 umol m^?2 s^?1. Net CO₂ uptake reached 90% of saturation at an average PAR (400 to 700 nm) of only 240 umol m^?2 s^?1, consistent with the typically shaded habitats of most ferns. Maximal CO₂ uptake rates were positively correlated with the PAR for 90% saturation (r²=0.59), the chlorophyII per unit leaf area (r²=0.30), the water vapor conductance (r²=0.65), and the CO₂ residual conductance (r²=0.69). A higher water vapor conductance (gwv) was correlated with a greater fractional change in gwv as the leaf-to-air water vapor concentration drop (Δc_wv) was raised from 5to20 g m^?3 (r²=0.90). Specifically, for species with low g_wv of about I mm s^?1 the ratio of g_wv at Δc_wv= 5 g m^?3 to that at Δc_wv= 20 g m^?3 was near 1, but it was near 2 for species with g_wv of about 4 mm s^?1. Such a relationship, which can prevent excessive transpiration, has apparently not previously been pointed out in surveys of other plant groups.     

Diurnal depression of leaf hydraulic conductance in a tropical tree species

Diurnal patterns of hydraulic conductance of the leaf lamina (K_leaf) were monitored in a field‐grown tropical tree species in an attempt to ascertain whether the dynamics of stomatal conductance (g_s) and CO₂ uptake (A_leaf) were associated with short‐term changes in K_leaf. On days of high evaporative demand mid‐day depression of K_leaf to between 40 and 50% of pre‐dawn values was followed by a rapid recovery after 1500 h. Leaf water potential during the recovery stage was less than ?1 MPa implying a refilling mechanism, or that loss of K_leaf was not linked to cavitation. Laboratory measurement of the response of K_leaf to Ψ_leaf confirmed that leaves in the field were operating at water potentials within the depressed region of the leaf ‘vulnerability curve’. Diurnal courses of K_leaf and Ψ_leaf predicted from measured transpiration, xylem water potential and the K_leaf vulnerability function, yielded good agreement with observed trends in both leaf parameters. Close correlation between depression of K_leaf, g_s and A_leaf suggests that xylem dysfunction in the leaf may lead to mid‐day depression of gas exchange in this species.     

Dominant species and ecosystem gas exchange in temperate grassland under different land use patterns

在内蒙古温带草原围封、放牧和割草3种处理下的样地内, 对生态系统尺度和大针茅(Stipa grandis)、冷蒿(Artemisia frigida)、羊草(Leymus chinensis) 3种优势种植物叶片尺度上的气体交换和水分关系进行了测定, 对比研究了植物碳水对环境的响应。结果表明, 在优势种单株尺度和生态系统尺度上, 大气-植被CO₂交换因草地利用方式的不同而具有不同的表现。在生态系统层面, 放牧样地的群落净CO₂气体交换量和总初级生产力都与围封样地和割草样地有差异, 群落总初级生产力受生态系统呼吸的影响。在放牧处理下, 群落净CO₂气体交换量日变化表现为生态系统对碳的吸收, 而围封和割草则以碳释放为主。单叶光合速率出现负值并随时间推移而恢复的现象, 应是植物对干旱高温、高光照的特殊反应。生态系统水分利用效率没有明显不同, 但各样地的蒸散能力有趋势上的变化; 对于同种植物, 放牧样地植物单叶水分利用效率的日变化波动幅度最大, 围封样地最小。     

Effects of short-term NaCl stress on water relations and gas exchange of two jute species

Thirty-day-old seedlings of two jute species (Corchorus capsularis L. cv. JRC 212 and C. olitorius L. cv. JRO 632) were subjected to short-term salinity stress (160 and 200 mM NaCl for 1 and 2 d). Relative water content, leaf water potential, water uptake, transpiration rate, water retention, stomatal conductance, net photosynthetic rate and water use efficiency of both jute species decreased due to salinity stress. The decrease was greater in C. olitorius than in C. capsularis and with higher magnitude of stress. Greater accumulation of Na+ and Cl- and a lower ratio of K+/Na+ in the root and shoot of C. olitorius compared with C. capsularis were also recorded. Pretreatment of seedlings with kinetin (0.09 mM), glutamic acid (4 mM) and calcium nitrate (5 mM) for 24 h significantly improved net photosynthesis, transpiration and water use efficiency of salinity stressed plants, the effect being more marked in C. olitorius. Among the pre-treatment chemicals, calcium nitrate was most effective. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

钇元素对玉米幼苗水分利用效率的调控

盆栽实验条件下,研究不同浓度钇元素对玉米幼苗水分生理特性的影响,并分析其对玉米幼苗水分利用效率(WUE)的调控。结果表明,钇用皱在干土中的浓度为0～0．05mg／g时,玉米幼苗的根长、根冠比(R／S)、WUE呈升高趋势;当钇用量在干土中的浓度为0．05～0．50mg／g时,玉米幼苗的根长、R／S、WUE呈下降趋势。随着钇用量的增加．气孔导度(Cs)始终呈下降趋势,叶水势(LWP)始终呈升高趋势。钇元素作用下玉米幼苗WUE的提高得益于根系活性的增强和适宜的Cs,使干物质的积累和水分的耗散达到最优值．干土中最佳钇用量为0．05mg／g。     

Effects of patchy stomatal closure on gas exchange measurements following abscisic acid treatment

Gas exchange data and images of leaf fluorescence were collected concurrently as stomata responded to abscisic acid (ABA) application. When 10^?5kmolm^?3 ABA was applied to the transpiration stream in a short pulse, stomatal conductance (g_s), photosynthesis (A) and intercellular CO2 concentration (C_i) decreased rapidly after a short lag period and became approximately constant after 2h. There was an apparent reduction in the A versus c1 relationship as stomata closed, but the data returned to the A versus C1 curve while stomatal conductance was constant or slowly rising during the second hour after ABA treatment. Larger amounts of ABA administered during the pulse caused larger deviations from the A versus c1 relationship. When 10^?7kmolm^?3 ABA was applied continuously through the transpiration stream, gs, A and Cⁱ decreased, but there was no substantial deviation from the A versus c{ curve. Fluorescence images were patchy as stomata closed for all experiments, but became slowly more uniform during the time that gas exchange was returning to the A versus Cj curve. The distribution of con-ductance among patches was not bimodal, and larger devi-ations from the A versus ct curve had greater ranges of pixel values and more pixel values representing low values of Cj during stomatal closure than did experiments show-ing small or no deviation. Estimates of A and gs from fluo-rescence images compared favourably with measured val-ues in most cases, suggesting that the patchy distributions of fluorescence were caused by patchy distributions of stomatal conductance and that apparent reductions in the A versus ct relationship were the result of these patchy stomatai distributions and not direct effects of ABA on mesophyll functioning. The data show that stomatal patches can be temporary and that patchiness may not be reflected in gas exchange data if the range of stomatal con-ductances is not large. These observations may explain some of the discrepancies among previous studies concerning the effect of ABA on the A versus Cⁱ relationship.     

8种阔叶树种叶片气体交换特征和叶绿素荧光特性比较

在自然条件下,测定了8种阔叶树种叶片的气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数并对其进行比较.结果表明,8种阔叶树种紫玉兰、广玉兰、玉兰、美人梅、铁杆梅、腊梅、红碧桃和紫薇的叶片净光合速率（Pn）、蒸腾速率（Tr）、气孔导度（gs）、瞬时水分利用效率（WUE）和潜在水分利用效率（WUEi）的种间差异达极显著水平（p〈0.01）,指示了不同树种间的光合能力及水分利用能力差别较大.8种阔叶树种叶片的初始荧光（Fo）、可变荧光（Fv）、最大荧光（Fm）和PSⅡ电子传递量子效率（ФPSⅡ）的种间差异极为显著（p〈0.01）,PSⅡ最大光能转换效率（Fv/Fm）、可变荧光与初始荧光之比（Fv/Fo）和非光化学猝灭系数（NPQ）的种间差异也达显著水平（p〈0.05）,说明各树种叶片的PSⅡ原初光能转换效率和潜在活性、PSⅡ电子传递量子效率以及PSⅡ的潜在热耗散能力差别较大,而实际光下最大荧光（F′m）和PSⅡ光能捕获效率（F′v/F′m）的种间差异不显著.3种木兰科植物的Pn、Tr、WUE和WUEi平均值均高于3种蔷薇科植物,说明木兰科植物的光合能力较强,对吸收的光能和水分的利用较高.蔷薇科植物的Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo、ФPSⅡ、F′v/F′m和光化学猝灭系数（qp）平均值均高于木兰科植物,而木兰科植物NPQ较高,表明其PSⅡ的潜在热耗散能力较强,可有效地避免过剩光能对光合机构的损伤.研究还表明3种木兰科植物和3种蔷薇科植物之间的叶绿素荧光参数差异不大,说明同一科属植物叶片的光合能力较为相近.相关分析表明,8种阔叶树种叶片的Pn与Tr、Tr与gs、Fv/Fm与Fv/Fo、ФPSⅡ与F′v/F′m、qp与NPQ均呈极显著正相关（p〈0.01）,Pn与gs呈显著正相关（p〈0.05）,而Tr、gs与WUE、WUEi,Pn与ФPSⅡ,ФPSⅡ与NPQ,F′v/F′m 与 qp、NPQ均呈极显著负相关（p〈0.01）.     

Compensatory effects of elevated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> concentration on the inhibitory effects of high temperature and irradiance on photosynthetic gas exchange in carrots

We determined the interactive effects of irradiance, elevated CO₂ concentration (EC), and temperature in carrot (Daucus carota var. sativus). Plants of the cv. Red Core Chantenay (RCC) were grown in a controlled environmental plant growth room and exposed to 3 levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) (400, 800, 1 200 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹), 3 leaf chamber temperatures (15, 20, 30 °C), and 2 external CO₂ concentrations (C _a), AC and EC (350 and 750 μmol mol⁻¹, respectively). Rates of net photosynthesis (P _N) and transpiration (E) and stomatal conductance (g _s ) were measured, along with water use efficiency (WUE) and ratio of internal and external CO₂ concentrations (C _i/C _a). P _N revealed an interactive effect between PAR and C _a. As PAR increased so did P _N under both C _a regimes. The g _s showed no interactive effects between the three parameters but had singular effects of temperature and PAR. E was strongly influenced by the combination of PAR and temperature. WUE was interactively affected by all three parameters. Maximum WUE occurred at 15 °C and 1 200 μmol m⁻² s^{− 1} PAR under EC. The C _i /C _a was influenced independently by temperature and C _a. Hence photosynthetic responses are interactively affected by changes in irradiance, external CO₂ concentration, and temperature. EC significantly compensates the inhibitory effects of high temperature and irradiance on P _N and WUE.     

Photosynthesis and Water Use Efficiency in Twenty Tropical Tree Species of Differing Succession Status in a Brazilian Reforestation

Leaf gas exchange characteristics were measured in twenty woody species that differ in succession status ranging from pioneer species (PS) to late succession species (LS) in a Brazilian rain-reforestation ecosystem. Photon-saturated photosynthetic rate, calculated per either a leaf area (P _NA) or a dry mass (P _NM) basis, differed among species. P _NA and P _NM were highest in PS and lowest in LS. Variation among species was 3-fold (from 7 to 23 mol m^–2 s^–1) for P _NA, and 5-fold (from 50 to 275 mol kg^–2 s^–1) for P _NM. The highest P _NA (23 mol m^–2 s^–1) and P _NM (275 mol kg^–2 s^–1) values were recorded in PS Croton urucurana, while the lowest P _NA (7 mol m^–2 s^–1) and P _NM (50 mol kg^–2 s^–1) values were recorded in LS Aspidosperma cylindrocarpon. A considerable overlap was recorded between PS and LS in values of stomatal conductance (g _s), transpiration rate (E), and leaf mass to area ratio (ALM). However, C. urucurana also showed highest g _s and E. P _NM was highly correlated with ALM in both PS and LS (r=–0.75 and –0.90, respectively). The high values of instantaneous transpiration efficiency (ITE) and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUE_i) were also observed in the PS when compared with the LS.
