森林的风/雪灾害研究综述

风／雪灾害不仪极大影响木材生产,同时对森林生态系统的稳定性也造成很大影响。森林风／雪危害的主要类型有树干弯曲、干(冠)折、掘根以及后续危害等;其发生主要依赖于气象条件、立地因子、树木和林分特征及其之间的相互作用。其中．林木尖削度(胸径／树高)和林分结构特征(树种、组成、密度等)是控制树木和林分对风／雪荷载抵抗的主要特征量。因此．通过造林、调整林分结构．加强林分管理如间伐、施肥等措施一直是用来减少林木的风／雪灾害的主要措施。另外．林木或林分发生风／雪害的模型分析研究也取得了很大进展,但由于森林风／雪害受诸如地形、天气等多种因素影响、目前所建立的模型系统在实际应用中普适性较芹。通过综述以往研究结果认为：在气象和立地条件难以控制的情况下．通过改变可控因子林分结构来减少森林风／雪害是可行的。因此．研究如何加强森林经营管理,尤其是不同形式的间伐技术和不同处理的造林措施与风／雪灾害发生的关系、如何增加林木和林分抵抗风／雪灾害的能力等是今后该研究领域的重点和难点。与此同时．应加强风／雪灾害危险率评估研究．进而对森林进行风／雪灾害危险率管理;并注重对受灾前后林地内生态效应的研究,以便为灾后的森林经营管理和调控提供坚实的理论依据。

南方森林雨雪冰冻灾害的特征

近年来极端气候事件频发,各地的雨雪冰冻灾害受到广泛关注。极端的雨雪冰冻灾害作为一个重要的扰动因子,对森林生态系统造成重大影响,尤其是在中国冰雪天气少有发生的南亚热带地区。2008年1-2月中国南方遭受了一场低温雨雪冰冻综合性极端天气灾害,其持续时间长,影响范围广,对中国南方森林造成了严重的损害。国内对此次雨雪冰冻灾情概况、林木受损情况以及雨雪冰冻灾害程度的影响因素等方面开展了大量研究,而现有的研究对受损林木评定的标准主观、粗略不全或是概念混淆,造成各研究结果难以比较。为明晰分类标准及相关概念,本文在总结雨雪冰冻灾害发生的气候与生物学特点、整合前人研究结果的基础上,提出雨雪冰冻灾害中林木生理冻害分类标准以及林木机械损伤分类标准,为相关研究提供参考依据。同时,总结分析雨雪冰冻灾害中导致森林受损的各影响因素,并将众多的因素总结归纳为影响凝雪冰凌重量及林木自身抵抗力2个方面。最后,针对灾害的影响因素以及灾后森林易发生的次生灾害,提出灾后森林恢复与重建的建议。     

浙江省茶树春霜冻害气象指标的修订

修订茶树霜冻害气象指标对于科学客观地开展春季茶树霜冻灾害的监测预警和影响评估具有重要意义。本文以浙江省茶树4个主栽品种为材料,应用人工气候箱开展低温胁迫控制试验,模拟6组不同低温条件和持续时间(15℃/3℃、12℃/2℃、10℃/1℃、10℃/0℃、10℃/-1℃、10℃/-2℃,各设置组较高温度持续12 h,较低温度持续4 h;对照温度25℃),观测茶树叶片生理生化指标的变化,应用Logistic函数确定茶树的半致死温度。结果表明:茶树霜冻害的发生与低温强度和持续时间密切相关,各品种茶树叶片半致死温度为福鼎大白茶(-1.5℃)乌牛早(-1.3℃)鸠坑(-1.2℃)龙井43(-0.7℃);结合历史灾情和茶园逐小时气温观测数据,提出了新的茶树春霜冻害等级标准,包括气象指标、茶树受灾症状和新梢芽叶受害率,其中气象指标为新梢生长期间每日的小时最低气温和持续小时数。应用2013年春季2次霜冻灾害验证,新标准的监测结果与实际情况基本吻合,并且比原有标准吻合率提高41.7%。研究成果可为茶叶气象定量化服务提供重要的技术支持。

霜冻对昆明植物园维管植物危害的调查分析

2013年12月中旬昆明出现严重的霜冻天气,导致植物大面积受害,造成了巨大的损失。若了解各类植物对极端低温危害的抵抗力,可为科学合理地预防和降低霜冻等冻害天气对园林植物的危害提供一定参考。作者抽样调查了昆明植物园90科225种植物的受害情况．并对受害程度与植物系统分类、形态特征和产地分布等方面的关系进行统计分析。结果表明蕨类植物抗冻性较差,裸子植物抗冻性较强,不同科的被子植物抗冻性差异较大：多年生草本比一年生草本抗冻性差,常绿木本植物比落叶木本植物抗冻性更强;本地物种比引进物种抗冻性较强。根据调查结果,对已有园林植物的保护和新的园林绿化建设提出了一定的建议。即根据不同植物的抗冻性强弱,一方面要对园林植物给予积极有效的保护和采取预防霜冻危害的措施,另一方面要结合环境条件和植物特征选择适宜种植的物种。

A Second-order Dynamic Model for the Frost Hardiness of Trees

The development of frost hardiness in forest trees is describedby a dynamic model in which the input variables are the prevailingenvironmental conditions and the developmental stage of trees.The assumption of the model is that for each temperature andphotoperiod there is a discrete stationary level of frost hardiness,which is attained if these environmental factors remain constant.The dependence of the stationary level on temperature and photoperiodis assumed to be piece-wise linear and additive. The rate ofacclimation, i.e. frost hardening or dehardening, is describedas a second-order dynamic process with two time constants, thesecond of which changes depending on the stage of the annualdevelopment of the trees. The frost hardiness model was calibratedand tested using experimental data from Douglas fir [Pseudotsugamenziesii var. glauca (Beissn.) Franco] seedlings. The resultssuggest that the second-order model describes the changes infrost hardiness better than the first-order model with onlyone time constant.Copyright 1995, 1999 Academic Press Acclimation, developmental stage, Douglas fir, dynamic model, frost hardiness, photoperiod, Pseudotsuga menziesii, temperature     

Use of intraspecific variation in thermal responses for estimating an elevational cline in the timing of cold hardening in a sub‐boreal conifer

To avoid winter frost damage, evergreen coniferous species develop cold hardiness with suitable phenology for the local climate regime. Along the elevational gradient, a genetic cline in autumn phenology is often recognised among coniferous populations, but further quantification of evolutionary adaptation related to the local environment and its responsible signals generating the phenological variation are poorly understood. We evaluated the timing of cold hardening among populations of Abies sachalinensis, based on time series freezing tests using trees derived from four seed source populations × three planting sites. Furthermore, we constructed a model to estimate the development of hardening from field temperatures and the intraspecific variations occurring during this process. An elevational cline was detected such that high‐elevation populations developed cold hardiness earlier than low‐elevation populations, representing significant genetic control. Because development occurred earlier at high‐elevation planting sites, the genetic trend across elevation overlapped with the environmental trend. Based on the trade‐off between later hardening to lengthen the active growth period and earlier hardening to avoid frost damage, this genetic cline would be adaptive to the local climate. Our modelling approach estimated intraspecific variation in two model components: the threshold temperature, which was the criterion for determining whether the trees accumulated the thermal value, and the chilling requirement for trees to achieve adequate cold hardiness. A higher threshold temperature and a lower chilling requirement could be responsible for the earlier phenology of the high‐elevation population. These thermal responses may be one of the important factors driving the elevation‐dependent adaptation of A. sachalinensis.     

Does ice crystal formation in buds explain growth disturbances in boron-deficient Norway spruce?

Loss of apical dominance in boron-deficient trees has been suggested to be due to frost damage of terminal buds and leaders. Excessive nitrogen (N) supply can exacerbate boron (B) deficiency by the dilution-effect. N may also have direct effects on winter hardiness. We studied frost hardening of buds of Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) in healthy-looking trees and in trees with growth disturbances. The effect of B and N on frost hardiness was studied in a factorial fertilisation experiment during cold acclimation. Frost hardiness was determined by differential temperature analysis (DTA) and scoring of visual damage. In a DTA profile of apical buds with a piece of stem, low-temperature exotherm (LTE) predicted bud injury, while two of the observed high-temperature exotherms and two of the observed intermediate-temperature exotherms were non injurious. Appearance of LTE followed changes in air temperature. The risk of frost damage was not affected by fertilisation treatments or previously observed growth disturbances. However, when the bud structure was deformed by severe B deficiency, the supercooling ability disappeared. Such buds are probably killed by freezing in nature and therefore, frost damage may play a secondary role in the development of growth disturbances.     

The effects of long-term elevation of air temperature and CO on the frost hardiness of Scots pine

The frost hardiness of 20 to 25-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) saplings was followed for 2 years in an experiment that attempted to simulate the predicted climatic conditions of the future, i.e. increased atmospheric CO₂ concentration and/or elevated air temperature. Frost hardiness was determined by an electrolyte leakage method and visual damage scoring on needles. Elevated temperatures caused needles to harden later and deharden earlier than the controls. In the first year, elevated CO₂ enhanced hardening at elevated temperatures, but this effect disappeared the next year. Dehardening was hastened by elevating CO₂ in both springs. The frost hardiness was high (相似文献   

Effect of frost nights and day and night temperature during dormancy induction on frost hardiness, tolerance to cold storage and bud burst in seedlings of Norway spruce

For trees, the ability to obtain and maintain sufficient levels of frost hardiness in late autumn, winter and spring is crucial. We report that temperatures during dormancy induction influence bud set, frost hardiness, tolerance to cold storage, timing of bud burst and spring frost hardiness in seedlings of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). Bud set occurred later in 12°C than in 21°C, and later in cool nights (7°C) than in constant temperature. One weekly frost night (−2.5°C) improved frost hardiness. Cool nights reduced frost hardiness early, but improved hardiness later during cold acclimation. Buds and stems were slightly hardier in 21°C than in 12°C, while needles were clearly hardier in 12°C. Cold daytime temperature, cool nights and one weekly frost night improved cold storability (0.7°C). Seedlings receiving high daytime temperatures burst buds later, and were less injured by light frost some days after bud burst.     

Understanding and predicting frost‐induced tropical tree mortality patterns

Extreme climatic and weather events are increasing in frequency and intensity across the world causing episodes of widespread tree mortality in many forested ecosystems. However, we have a limited understanding about which local factors influence tree mortality patterns, restricting our ability to predict tree mortality, especially within topographically complex tropical landscapes with a matrix of mature and secondary forests. We investigated the effects of two major local factors, topography and forest successional type, on climate‐induced tropical tree mortality patterns using an observational and modeling approach. The northernmost Neotropical dry forest endured an unprecedented episode of frost‐induced tree mortality after the historic February 2011 cold wave hit northwestern Mexico. In a moderately hilly landscape covering mature and secondary tropical dry forests, we surveyed 454 sites for the presence or absence of frost‐induced tree mortality. In addition, across forty‐eight 1 ha plots equally split into the two forest types, we examined 6,981 woody plants to estimate a frost‐disturbance severity metric using the density of frost‐killed trees. Elevation is the main factor modulating frost effects regardless of forest type. Higher occurrence probabilities of frost‐induced tree mortality at lowland forests can be explained by the strong influence of elevation on temperature distribution since heavier cold air masses move downhill during advective frosts. Holding elevation constant, the probability of frost‐induced tree mortality in mature forests was twice that of secondary forests but severity showed the opposite pattern, suggesting a cautious use of occurrence probabilities of tree mortality to infer severity of climate‐driven disturbances. Extreme frost events, in addition to altering forest successional pathways and ecosystem services, likely maintain and could ultimately shift latitudinal and altitudinal range margins of Neotropical dry forests.     

Tree age and bark thickness as traits linked to frost ring probability on Araucaria araucana trees in northern Patagonia

Frost events may damage the cambium and consequently the newly produced tracheids whose cell walls have not yet completed their lignifications, leading to the formation of frost rings. This study deals with the presence of frost rings in Araucaria araucana trees according to cambial age and bark thickness, under the assumption that these factors may be involved in physical or physiological mechanisms that increase resistance to freezing temperatures that impact the cambial tissue. The study was conducted in northern Patagonia at two sites of contrasting geomorphology, and therefore potentially associated with a differential degree of exposure to extreme cold. Wood plus bark cores were extracted from main stems at two heights from the ground and from each of the four cardinal point directions for 30 individuals per site. A Linear Mixed Model and a Generalized Linear Mixed Model were applied in order to relate the bark thickness and the frequency of frost rings in accordance with the different sampling points on the stem. It was observed that as bark becomes thicker with cambial age, the frequency of frost rings decreases, indicating a possible thermal-induced mechanism of bark protection. Consequently, there is an increase in the presence of frost rings at the younger stages of tree life. Although the mechanisms of cold hardiness in trees can be complex, including aspects of the tree physiology, our data indicated that as tree age increases, the thickness of the bark is higher, resulting in a potential effect of isolation and passive protection against the harmful effects of frosts. This mechanism may be relevant in the ecology, conservation and management of forests faced with extreme variability in future climate and changing scenarios.     

Genetic analysis of frost hardiness traits in tuber-bearingSolanum species

The inheritance of frost hardiness and cold acclimation potential traits was studied in three segregating populations derived from a cross betweenSolanum commersonii Dun. PI 243503 (cmm) andSolanum cardiophyllum Lindl., PI 184762 (cph), two parental genotypes with contrasting frost hardiness and cold acclimation potential. The levels of frost hardiness and cold acclimation potential were expressed as the LT₅₀, the temperature at which 50% of the cells in leaf discs were killed, as measured by the ion leakage method, following a controlled freeze test There was considerable variation in both frost hardiness and cold acclimation potential in all three segregating populations (F₁ F₁ xcmm, and F₁ xcph). Frost hardiness and cold acclimation potential were not correlated, suggesting that these two traits are under independent genetic control. The analysis of generation means indicated that the variation for both traits could be best explained by an additive-dominance model, with additive gene effects the most important Broad-sense heritability was 0.73 and 0.74 in the F₁ population, for frost hardiness and cold acclimation potential, respectively, and was 0.85 for either trait in the F₁ xcmm population, indicating that these two traits are highly inheritable. Our results suggest that it should be possible to incorporate the frost hardiness and cold acclimation traits from S.commersonii into cultivated potato species.     

Frost hardiness in bark and needles of Norway spruce in southern Sweden

Bark necrosis and resin flows in Norway spruce have increased in southern Sweden over the last few decades. Frost damage late in spring has been suggested as a possible cause, but other factors besides the climate may have contributed to the damage. The nutrient status influences the hardening processes and plants with poor nutritional conditions have an increased sensitivity to frost. In this study the sensitivity to frost of bark and the hardiness status of needles of Norway spruce were compared with the nutrient status at two sites with different soil fertility. The trees were 30-40 years old. The hardiness status of the bark and needles was negatively affected by low concentrations of P and Mg.
