在贺兰山苏峪口国家森林公园,利用径向生长测量仪监测2017和2018年2个生长季内、2个海拔(2010和2330 m)油松的径向生长,研究树木径向生长对干旱的响应。结果表明: 2018年6月的干旱事件使得油松径向生长速率减慢,生长量减小;而7—8月的降水使油松的径向生长重新激活。2018年油松的径向生长主要发生在6—8月,相比2017年延长一个月。油松径向生长与气候因子的响应关系在不同海拔间没有明显的差异。生长季早期干旱对树木径向生长有抑制作用,生长季中后期降水对树木径向生长具有促进作用。该区的气候重建工作中应当充分考虑8月的气候要素对树轮宽度的影响。 相似文献

Unlike the well-understood cold limit of trees, the causes of the dry trailing edge of trees await explanation. Here we aimed at explaining the drought limit of an evergreen oak species (Quercus pannosa s.l.) in a typical dry valley of the upper Yangtze region, SE Himalaya, where rains (ca. 250 mm/a) are largely confined to the typical monsoon season (July–August) with drought during the remaining 9–10 months. We capitalized on an unintentional year-round irrigation treatment with trees growing along the overflow of a water reservoir serving as moist controls. We measured shoot water potential (Ψ), leaf conductance (g), flushing phenology, leaf mass per area (LMA), foliar and stem δ13C, leaf nutrients, and non-structural carbohydrates across the transition from non-monsoon to monsoon season, from April to August 2018. At the dry site, Ψ and g were high during the monsoon but declined to <−3 MPa as drought proceeded in the non-monsoon season. Irrigated oaks retained high values year-round. Oaks experiencing the natural drought flushed at the full strength onset of the monsoon only, that is, 80 days later than irrigated oaks. The annual shoot increment in oaks under natural drought was ca. 10% of that in irrigated oaks. However, mature foliage showed no difference in LMA and δ13C between dry and moist sites. We conclude that these oaks drastically reduce their activity in response to drought, with growth strictly confined to the monsoon season, the minimum duration of which, presumably is setting the range limit. 相似文献

Water source partitioning among trees growing on shallow karst soils in a seasonally dry tropical climate 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The sources of water used by woody vegetation growing on karst soils in seasonally dry tropical regions are little known.
In northern Yucatan (Mexico), trees withstand 4–6 months of annual drought in spite of the small water storage capacity of
the shallow karst soil. We hypothesized that adult evergreen trees in Yucatan tap the aquifer for a reliable supply of water
during the prolonged dry season. The naturally occurring concentration gradients in oxygen and hydrogen stable isotopes in
soil, bedrock, groundwater and plant stem water were used to determine the sources of water used by native evergreen and drought-deciduous
tree species. While the trees studied grew over a permanent water table (9–20 m depth), pit excavation showed that roots were
largely restricted to the upper 2 m of the soil/bedrock profile. At the peak of the dry season, the δ18O signatures of potential water sources for the vegetation ranged from 4.1 ± 1.1‰ in topsoil to −4.3 ± 0.1‰ in groundwater.
The δ18O values of tree stem water ranged from −2.8 ± 0.3‰ in Talisia
olivaeformis to 0.8 ± 1‰ in Ficus cotinifolia, demonstrating vertical partitioning of soil/bedrock water among tree species. Stem water δ18O values were significantly different from that of groundwater for all the tree species investigated. Stem water samples plotted
to the right of the meteoric water line, indicating utilization of water sources subject to evaporative isotopic enrichment.
Foliar δ13C in adult trees varied widely among species, ranging from −25.3 ± 0.3‰ in Enterolobium cyclocarpum to −28.7 ± 0.4‰ in T. olivaeformis. Contrary to initial expectations, data indicate that native trees growing on shallow karst soils in northern Yucatan use
little or no groundwater and depend mostly on water stored within the upper 2–3 m of the soil/bedrock profile. Water storage
in subsurface soil-filled cavities and in the porous limestone bedrock is apparently sufficient to sustain adult evergreen
trees throughout the pronounced dry season. 相似文献

The relationship between water availability and ethylene production was studied in 24‐year‐old trees of Norway spruce [ Picea abies (L.) Karst.] growing on experimental plots with different water availability. Ethylene and oxygen were collected from the cambial/xylem region and heartwood in the stem using non‐destructive sampling methods. Xylem sap flow was measured in stems using a heat‐balance technique. Pre‐dawn water potential of shoots was used to assess the water status of the trees. Growth was calculated from increments in stem basal area. The highest ethylene concentrations were found in irrigated trees that also, as compared to the other treatments, showed the most rapid flow rate of sap, the highest pre‐dawn water potential, and the most rapid growth. By contrast, the lowest ethylene concentrations were measured in trees to which artificial drought was induced. Such trees also showed the lowest water transport, lowest water potential and relatively slow growth. Thus, no signs of drought‐induced ethylene production were found in this study, contrary to the general contention of a positive relation between drought stress and ethylene production. 相似文献

The dynamics of aseasonal lowland dipterocarp forest in Borneo is influenced by perturbation from droughts. These events might
be increasing in frequency and intensity in the future. This paper describes drought-affected dynamics between 1986 and 2001
in Sabah, Malaysia, and considers how it is possible, reliably and accurately, to measure both coarse- and fine-scale responses
of the forest. Some fundamental concerns about methodology and data analysis emerge. In two plots forming 8 ha, mortality,
recruitment, and stem growth rates of trees ≥10 cm gbh (girth at breast height) were measured in a ‘pre-drought’ period (1986–1996), and in a period (1996–2001) including the 1997–1998
ENSO-drought. For 2.56 ha of subplots, mortality and growth rates of small trees (10–<50 cm gbh) were found also for two sub-periods (1996–1999, 1999–2001). A total of c. 19 K trees were recorded. Mortality rate increased by 25% while both recruitment and relative growth rates increased by
12% for all trees at the coarse scale. For small trees, at the fine scale, mortality increased by 6% and 9% from pre-drought
to drought and on to ‘post-drought’ sub-periods. Relative growth rates correspondingly decreased by 38% and increased by 98%.
Tree size and topography interacted in a complex manner with between-plot differences. The forest appears to have been sustained
by off-setting elevated tree mortality by highly resilient stem growth. This last is seen as the key integrating tree variable
which links the external driver (drought causing water stress) and population dynamics recorded as mortality and recruitment.
Suitably sound measurements of stem girth, leading to valid growth rates, are needed to understand and model tree dynamic
responses to perturbations. The proportion of sound data, however, is in part determined by the drought itself.

Transpiration and whole-tree conductance in ponderosa pine trees of different heights 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Changes in leaf physiology with tree age and size could alter forest growth, water yield, and carbon fluxes. We measured tree
water flux (Q) for 14 ponderosa pine trees in two size classes (12 m tall and ∼40 years old, and 36 m tall and ∼ 290 years old) to determine
if transpiration (E) and whole-tree conductance (g
t) differed between the two sizes of trees. For both size classes, E was approximately equal to Q measured 2 m above the ground: Q was most highly correlated with current, not lagged, water vapor pressure deficit, and night Q was <12% of total daily flux. E for days 165–195 and 240–260 averaged 0.97 mmol m–2 (leaf area, projected) s–1 for the 12-m trees and 0.57 mmol m–2 (leaf area) s–1 for the 36-m trees. When photosynthetically active radiation (I
P) exceeded the light saturation for photosynthesis in ponderosa pine (900 μmol m–2 (ground) s–1), differences in E were more pronounced: 2.4 mmol m–2 (leaf area) s–1 for the 12-m trees and 1.2 mmol m–2 s–1 for the 36-m trees, yielding g
t of 140 mmol m–2 (leaf area) s–1 for the 12-m trees and 72 mmol m–2 s–1 for the 36-m trees. Extrapolated to forests with leaf area index =1, the 36-m trees would transpire 117 mm between 1 June
and 31 August compared to 170 mm for the 12-m trees, a difference of 15% of average annual precipitation. Lower g
t in the taller trees also likely lowers photosynthesis during the growing season.

The stable carbon (C) composition of tree rings expressed as δ13C, is a measure of intrinsic water-use efficiency and can indicate the occurrence of past water shortages for tree growth.
We examined δ13C in 3- to 5-year-old rings of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb) Franco) trees to elucidate if decreased water supply or uptake was a critical factor in the observed growth reduction
of trees competing with understory herb and shrub vegetation compared to those growing without competition. We hypothesized
that there would be no differences in δ13C of earlywood in trees growing in plots with competing vegetation and those in plots receiving complete vegetation control
during 5 years because earlywood formed early in the growing season when soil water was ample. We also hypothesized that δ13C in latewood which was formed during the later half of the growing season when precipitation was low, would be greater (less
negative) in trees in plots without vegetation control. We then separated early and latewood from rings for three consecutive
years and analyzed their δ13C composition. No significant differences in earlywood δ13C in years 3–5 were observed for trees in the two vegetation control treatments. δ13C of untreated latewood separated from wood cores was greater in 4- and 5-year-old rings of trees growing with competing vegetation
compared to trees growing without vegetation competition (i.e., −25.5 vs. −26.3‰ for year 4, and −26.1 vs. −26.8‰ for year
5). Results suggest that water shortages occurred in Douglas-fir trees on this coastal Washington site in the latewood-forming
portion of the growing season of years 4 and 5 in the no-vegetation control treatment. We also compared δ13C from untreated wood, crude cellulose extracted with the Diglyme–HCl method, and holocellulose extracted with toluene–ethanol
to see if the extraction method would increase the sensitivity of the analysis. δ13C values from the two extraction methods were highly correlated with those from untreated samples (r
2 = 0.97, 0.98, respectively). Therefore, using untreated wood would be as effective as using crude cellulose or holocellulose
to investigate δ13C patterns in young Douglas-fir. 相似文献

Irrigation effects on daily and seasonal variations of trunk sap flow and leaf water relations in olive trees 总被引:9,自引:1,他引:8
Irrigation effects on whole-plant sap flow and leaf-level water relations were characterised throughout a growing season in an experimental olive (Olea europaea L.) orchard. Atmospheric evaporative demand and soil moisture conditions for irrigated and non-irrigated olive trees were also monitored. Whole-plant water use in field-grown irrigated and rain fed olive trees was determined using a xylem sap flow method (compensation heat-pulse velocity). Foliage gas exchange and water potentials were determined throughout the experimental period. Physiological parameters responded diurnally and seasonally to variations in tree water status, soil moisture conditions and atmospheric evaporative demand. There was a considerable degree of agreement between daily transpiration deduced from heat-pulse velocity and that determined by calibration using the Penman–Monteith equation in the field. Summer drought caused decreasing leaf gas exchange and water potentials, and a progressive increase in hydraulic conductance (stronger in non-irrigated than irrigated trees), probably attributable to modifications in hydraulic properties at the soil-root interface. Negligible hysteresis, attributable to low plant capacitance, was observed in the relationship between leaf water potential and sap flow. A proportional decrease in maximum daily leaf conductance with increasing vapour pressure deficit was observed, while mean daytime canopy stomatal conductance decreased with the season. As a result, plant water use was limited and excessive drought stress prevented. Non-irrigated olive trees recovered after the summer drought, showing a physiological behaviour similar to that of irrigated trees. In addition to physiological and environmental factors, there are endogenous keys (chemical signals) influencing leaf level parameters. Olive trees are confirmed to be economical and sparing users of soil water, with an efficient xylem sap transport, maintenance of significant gas exchange and transpiration, even during drought stress. 相似文献

Using CO2 Efflux Rates to Indicate Below-Ground Growing Seasons by Land-use Treatment 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

CO2 efflux rates are affected by vegetation type, temperature, and soil surface conditions, and serve as an indicator of the
length of the below-ground biological and microbial growing season. This study determined the effect of three land-use treatments
on CO2 efflux and growing season lengths in Southeast Virginia on two forested mineral soil wetlands. CO2 efflux, soil temperature, and soil moisture were measured 24 times in 18 months at plots representing forest, early successional
field, and bare ground land-use treatments. CO2 efflux differed (p < 0.05) by treatment in the order forest > field > bare ground. CO2 efflux was higher in hardwood- than conifer-dominated forest and higher in bare ground plots that were not inundated. Appreciable
CO2 efflux took place even once leaves had fallen off deciduous trees, and most of the CO2 efflux appeared to be from vegetation rather than microbial sources during that period. Variability in CO2 efflux was best described by the interaction between soil temperature and soil moisture (R2 = 0.32) (p < 0.05). The below-ground growing season indicated by appreciable CO2 efflux was similar to that indicated by soil temperatures above 5°C measured at 50 cm, the regulatory reference depth. The
CO2 efflux growing season was 365 days in the forest but was 9–16 days shorter in the field and 21–78 days shorter in the bare
ground land-use treatment plots. These data can be used to modify the regulatory growing season definition in forested thermic
wetlands and to reflect the environmental variation caused by different land uses. 相似文献

Studies were conducted to examine changes in soil (Ψs) and plant water status during summer in a 16-year old Quercus suber plantation in southern Portugal. Continuous measurements were conducted between May 2003 and August 2004, while discontinuous
measurements were conducted on a monthly basis between May and September 2003 and repeated between March and September 2004.
Intensive measurements were conducted on five trees with mean height and DBH of 5.3 m and 11.6 cm, respectively, growing at
close proximity to each other. Weather conditions and soil water potential (Ψs) at the rhizosphere of each of the trees measured
at 0.3 and 1 m soil depth were continuously monitored. Predawn (Ψpd) and midday (Ψmd) leaf water potentials were determined
every month. Soil and plant samples were also collected in June and September from different locations within the study site
for δ18O isotope composition analysis. Pressure–volume (p–v) curves were constructed from plant shoots at different times during the vegetative period to determine osmotic potential
at full saturation (Π100), water potential at turgor loss point (Ψtlp), relative water content at turgor loss point (R*tlp) and bulk modulus of elasticity (ε). Significant P < 0.05 decline in Ψs occurred between May and September, the lowest value recorded being –2.0 MPa. Decline in soil moisture
affected tree water status, but decline in leaf water potential varied significantly (P < 0.05) among the trees. At the end of summer drought, lowest Ψpd measured was –1.7 MPa while the highest measured during
this time was –0.8 MPa. Differences among trees were attributed to differences in rooting depth, as shown by regression analysis
of 18O isotopes. Radial stem growth ceased when Ψs within the upper 0.3 m depth approached –1.5 MPa. The upper soil layers contributed
approximately 33% of the total tree water requirement, between spring and mid summer when drought was experienced by trees.
Deep soil layers however, supplied most of the water required during drought and no growth was recorded during this time.
Stressed trees increased solute concentration of their tissues by a Magnitude of 0.7 MPa while bulk tissue elastic modulus
increased by about 17 MPa. The study emphasizes the significance of roots as determinants of tree productivity and survival
in the Mediterranean ecosystems. 相似文献

The control of vegetative phenology in tropical trees is not well understood. In dry forest trees, leaf abscission may be enhanced by advanced leaf age, increasing water stress, or declining photoperiod. Normally, it is impossible to dissect the effects of each of these variables because most leaves are shed during the early dry season when day length is near its minimum and leaves are relatively old. The 1997 El‐Niño Southern Oscillation caused a ten‐week long, severe abnormal drought from June to August in the semi‐deciduous forests of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. We monitored the effect of this drought on phenology and water status of trees with young leaves and compared modifications of phenology in trees of different functional types with the pattern observed during the regular dry season. Although deciduous trees at dry sites were severely water stressed (Ψstem < ‐7MPa) and their mesic leaves remained wilted for more than two months, these and all other trees retained all leaves during the abnormal drought. Many trees exchanged leaves three to four months earlier than normal during the wet period after the abnormal drought and shed leaves again during the regular dry season. Irrigation and an exceptional 70 mm rainfall during the mid‐dry season 1998/1999 caused bud break and flushing in all leafless trees except dormant stem succulents. The complex interactions between leaf age and water stress, the principal determinants of leaf abscission, were found to vary widely among trees of different functional types. 相似文献

Measurements of stem respiration were conducted for a period of four years (1999–2002) in 14-year old Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst) trees exposed to ambient (CA) and elevated CO2 concentration (CE; ambient plus 350 μmol mol−1). Stem respiration measurements of six trees per treatment were carried out 2–3 times per month during the growing season.
Stem respiration in CE treatment was higher (up to 16 %) than in CA treatment. Temperature response of stem respiration (Q10) for the whole experimental period ranged between 1.65–2.57 in CA treatment and 2.24–2.56 in CE treatment. The mean stem
respiration rate normalized to 10 °C (R10) in CA and CE treatments ranged between 1.67–1.95 and 2.19–2.72 μmol(CO2) m−2 s−1, respectively. Seasonal variations in stem respiration were related to temperature and tree growth. 相似文献

Summary Factors affecting seedling Virola surinamensis (Myristicaceae) survival and growth were investigated on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Seedlings planted 3 months after germination were monitored in treefall gaps and understory using 2.25 ha irrigated and control plots through the first dry season. During the dry season, irrigated plants in gaps increased total leaf area significantly more than did irrigated plants in the shaded understory. Over the same dry season, control plants in gaps and in the shaded understory lost similar amounts of leaf area. Seedlings in understory were suppressed in stem height and biomass in both irrigated and control plots; these measures were greater in gaps and greatest in irrigated gaps (height). Roots were similar in length in all treatments, but greater in biomass in gaps than understory due to greater proliferation of secondary roots in control and irrigated gaps than in control and irrigated understory. This experiment demonstrates both water and light limitation during the first dry season after germination. V. surinamensis seedlings are capable of survival and modest growth of leaf area in the deep shade of the understory in moist locations; they are severely disadvantaged in shaded understory subject to drought, where most seeds fall and most seedlings establish. The broken canopy of a gap allows shoot and consequently root growth that permits seedlings to survive seasonal drought. 相似文献

Normalized difference vegetation index data from the polar-orbiting National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorological
satellites from 1982 to 1999 show significant variations in photosynthetic activity and growing season length at latitudes
above 35°N. Two distinct periods of increasing plant growth are apparent: 1982–1991 and 1992–1999, separated by a reduction
from 1991 to 1992 associated with global cooling resulting from the volcanic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in June 1991. The average
May to September normalized difference vegetation index from 45°N to 75°N increased by 9% from 1982 to 1991, decreased by
5% from 1991 to 1992, and increased by 8% from 1992 to 1999. Variations in the normalized difference vegetation index were
associated with variations in the start of the growing season of –5.6, +3.9, and –1.7 days respectively, for the three time
periods. Our results support surface temperature increases within the same period at higher northern latitudes where temperature
limits plant growth.

Variation in plant species performance in response to water availability offers a potential axis for temporal and spatial habitat partitioning and may therefore affect community composition in tropical forests. We hypothesized that short dry spells during the wet season are a significant source of mortality for the newly emerging seedlings of pioneer species that recruit in treefall gaps in tropical forests. An analysis of a 49-year rainfall record for three forests across a rainfall gradient in central Panama confirmed that dry spells of ≥10 days during the wet season occur on average once a year in a deciduous forest, and once every other year in a semi-deciduous moist and an evergreen wet forest. The effect of wet season dry spells on the recruitment of pioneers was investigated by comparing seedling survival in rain-protected dry plots and irrigated control plots in four large artificially created treefall gaps in a semi-deciduous tropical forest. In rain-protected plots surface soil layers dried rapidly, leading to a strong gradient in water potential within the upper 10 cm of soil. Seedling survival for six pioneer species was significantly lower in rain-protected than in irrigated control plots after only 4 days. The strength of the irrigation effect differed among species, and first became apparent 3–10 days after treatments started. Root allocation patterns were significantly, or marginally significantly, different between species and between two groups of larger and smaller seeded species. However, they were not correlated with seedling drought sensitivity, suggesting allocation is not a key trait for drought sensitivity in pioneer seedlings. Our data provide strong evidence that short dry spells in the wet season differentially affect seedling survivorship of pioneer species, and may therefore have important implications to seedling demography and community dynamics. 相似文献

The effect of an artificially induced drought was investigated in an 80-year-old sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) stand in southern Quebec. We hypothesized that leaf peroxidase activity would increase, and that leaf nutrient deficiencies typical of declining trees (K, Mg) would develop during the year following the imposition of the drought. An impermeable tarpaulin was placed on the ground at the base of the trees during the summer of 1991. Foliage and soils were sampled periodically during the summers of 1991 and 1992. The treated trees showed decreased leaf water potential and increased peroxidase activity over most of the 1991 growing season. Diameter growth was significantly reduced in 1992. Soil NO

Aboveground forest structure, biomass, and primary productivity in a tropical heath forest in Central Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) were examined using data from 1-ha plots and stand-level allometric equations developed from harvested tree samples. The study site experienced a severe drought in 1997–1998 associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation event. The drought effect on heath forest productivity was also assessed by evaluating changes in wood mass increment rates. Allometric relationships suggested that heath forest trees had leaves with smaller specific leaf area (SLA), and large heath forest trees allocate more to leaf mass compared to mixed dipterocarp forest trees. Aboveground biomass (for trees ≥ 4.8 cm DBH) in two 1-ha plots, P1 and P4, totaled 244.8 and 232.0 Mg/ha. Aboveground wood mass increment rate was –0.1 and 4.7 Mg/ha/yr in P1 and P4 during the drought period (from February to August 1998), while it quickly recovered to 8.1 and 8.5 Mg/ha/yr during the post-drought period (from August 1998 to August 1999 for P1 and from August 1998 to November 1999 for P4). This suggests a severe impact of the drought on heath forest productivity. Leaf characteristics of heath forest such as small SLA and long-lived leaves probably play a significant role in effective assimilation and maintenance of heath forest productivity under stressful conditions. 相似文献

We investigated the relative importance of pre-anthesis assimilates stored in plant parts, mainly in the stem, and post-anthesis photosynthesis to drought resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Hongwangmai (drought resistant) and Haruhikari (drought sensitive) subjected to two soil moisture regimes: irrigated and non-irrigated. In the irrigated treatment, soil moisture was maintained near field capacity throughout the growing season, while in the non-irrigated treatment water was withheld from 81 d after sowing until maturity. Drought stress reduced grain yield of Hongwangmai and Haruhikari by 41 and 60 %, respectively. Remobilization of pre-anthesis assimilates to the grain (remobilization) was reduced by drought in Hongwangmai but increased in Haruhikari. The contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to the grain decreased under non-irrigated treatment in Hongwangmai. However, under water stress, Hongwangmai maintained a higher net photosynthetic rate in the flag leaf than Haruhikari. These results indicated that maintenance of post-anthesis photosynthetic rate was related to drought resistance in Hongwangmai rather than to remobilization under drought stress. 相似文献

The climate sensitivity of radial growth in European beech (Fagus
sylvatica L.) was analyzed within a narrow valley in the Swabian Alb (southwestern Germany). We collected stem disks from three aspects
(NE, NW and SW) of trees belonging to different social classes. Common climatic factors limiting growth across the valley
were identified using a principal component analysis (PCA). Further, we performed hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), redundancy
analysis (RDA) and bootstrapped correlation analysis to reveal differences in chronologies and climate-growth relationships
between aspect and social class. Climatic variables considered in our analyses were monthly and seasonal data on temperature
and precipitation, as well as a self-calibrating Palmer drought severity index (sc-PDSI). We identified drought in the period
June–August as the most prominent factor limiting growth across the valley. Dominant and co-dominant trees at the NW and SW
aspects were found to be particularly drought sensitive, whereas intermediate trees were less susceptible to drought. Underlying
causes of established climate–growth relationships are discussed in the context of drought susceptibility, tree-size modulation
and tree physiological processes. 相似文献

Climate change is known to influence interannual variation in grassland aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP), or seasonal
biomass, but direct, long-term ground observations are rare. We present a 22-year (1982–2003) measurement series from the
Inner Mongolia grassland, China, to examine the effect of climate change on interannual variations in ANPP and monthly aboveground
biomass (MAB). ANPP exhibited no increase over 1982–2003 but there was an association with previous-year precipitation. MAB
in May increased by 21.8% from 47.8 g m−2 (averaged for 1982–1984) to 58.2 g m−2 (2001–2003), whereas there was no significant variation in June, July and August, and a decrease of 29.7% in September. The
MAB increase in May was correlated with increases in precipitation and temperature in the preceding months. These findings
suggest that the effects of climate change on grassland production vary throughout the growing season, with warmer and wetter
springs resulting in increased biomass early in the growing season, and drier falls causing a decrease in biomass late in
the growing season. 相似文献
