荒漠区植被对地下水埋深响应研究进展

荒漠区植被包括以旱生植物为主的荒漠植被和以中生植物为主的荒漠河岸林。综述了荒漠区植被对地下水埋深在个体、种群、群落以及斑块尺度上响应的研究成果,指出:荒漠区植物对地下水埋深的响应并不是简单的线性关系,而是植物适应气候、土壤、地下水等环境因素综合作用的结果,应在地下水与植被达到平衡态的基础上充分考虑生境土壤异质性、植被可塑性并采用长期定位和控制试验相结合的方法进行综合研究。强调在今后的研究中,加强同位素示踪技术和高光谱遥感技术的应用,开展植物水力提升及其机理研究;加强荒漠区植被对地下水响应机理研究特别是微观尺度(分子水平)和响应过程长期定位研究;重视植被响应地下水位波动和水质变化的研究;强化在景观尺度和生态系统尺度集成研究,以便为管理包括地下水在内的荒漠生态系统提供依据。     

幼龄胡杨气孔行为对土壤质地和地下水埋深变化的响应

气孔调节是植物适应水分条件变化的关键途径,研究多变生境中植物气孔行为对认识植物的适应具有重要意义。洪水漫溢新形成的河漫滩是胡杨更新的自然生境,其土壤质地和地下水埋深具高度时空异质性。已有研究主要集中于胡杨对地下水埋深变化的生理生态响应,而对土壤质地与地下水变化交互作用影响植物水分关系的认识不足。通过设置土壤质地(砂土(S₁)、砂壤土(S₂)、黏壤土(S₃)与地下水埋深(W₁(30 cm)、W₂(60 cm)、W₃(90 cm))交互试验模拟幼龄胡杨自然生境,观测分析了不同条件下胡杨气孔导度(G_s)、气孔导度斜率(g₁)、光合的气孔限制(L_s)的变化。研究结果表明：(1)胡杨气孔行为对地下水变化的响应受土壤质地影响;(2)相同地下水埋深时不同土质间G_s具显著差异,W₁时S₂与S₃的G_s...     

胡杨液流对地下水埋深变化的响应

以塔里木河流域荒漠河岸林主要建群种胡杨(Populus euphratica)为研究对象, 结合中下游不同断面地下水埋深和胡杨液流变化的监测数据, 分析了胡杨茎干液流与地下水埋深变化的关系, 探讨荒漠环境下天然胡杨生长的合理生态水位。研究表明, 胡杨液流通量密度随地下水埋深即干旱胁迫程度的加大而减小, 两者呈极显著负相关, 相关系数达-0.887; 胡杨液流通量在地下水埋深位于4.5-5 m时出现异常变化, 表明此时胡杨的正常生长受到胁迫, 胡杨通过自身调节降低蒸腾耗水以适应环境; 土壤盐分不是影响塔里木河中下游各断面胡杨液流变化的主要因子; 对植物样地调查结果分析显示, 胡杨盖度、密度和频度均在地下水埋深在4-6 m梯度下开始表现为降低趋势。综合分析认为维系塔里木河中下游天然胡杨正常生长的生态水位为地下水埋深4.5 m以内。     

骆驼刺幼苗生长特性对不同地下水埋深的响应

在塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲,对人工控制地下水埋深条件下的骆驼刺幼苗地上和地下部分的生长特性进行了一个生长季的调查。结果表明：1)幼苗的株高、分枝数、冠幅与不同地下水埋深之间存在较好的相关性,不同地下水埋深下幼苗叶片数的波动较大;2)生长在距地下水埋深为2.5和2.0 m及1.5和1.0 m条件下的骆驼刺幼苗的基径变化没有显著差异(P>0.05);3)地下水埋深对骆驼刺幼苗根系的垂直根长的影响显著(P<0.01）;4)不同土壤深度的根生物量、根质量密度、比根长、根表面积对地下水埋深变化的响应也有显著差异(P<0.05)。

塔里木河中游地区柽柳对地下水埋深的生理响应

以塔里木河中游沙吉力克断面和阿其河断面的柽柳为研究对象,结合两断面地下水埋深的动态监测和柽柳叶片可溶性糖、脯氨酸、MDA含量及SOD、POD活性等生理指标的分析测试,研究了不同地下水埋深与柽柳生理变化的关系,以探讨该地区柽柳的抗旱机理与受胁迫程度.研究表明:随着地下水埋深的不断增加,柽柳叶片的可溶性糖含量、脯氨酸含量、MDA含量和SOD活性均显著增加,而POD活性则呈不断下降的趋势,并且柽柳各生理代谢相互协调;地下水埋深与柽柳叶片的可溶性糖、脯氨酸、MDA含量以及SOD活性呈正相关,相关系数分别为0.602*、0.548、0.735**和0.829**,与POD活性呈负相关(r=-0.709**).研究发现,塔里木河中游地区柽柳的生长已受到严重的干旱胁迫,且沙吉力克断面的柽柳所受到的干旱胁迫较重;柽柳在一定范围内能通过调节体内渗透调节物质的含量和保护酶活性来积极响应地下水埋深的变化,以增强植株自身抗旱能力.

地下水埋深对辽宁中部地区玉米根系和干物质积累的影响

为探明地下水埋深对玉米干物质积累和根系生长的影响,在辽宁省灌溉试验中心站利用地下水模拟系统设置了1.0 m(D1.0)、1.5 m(D1.5)、2.0 m(D2.0)、2.5 m(D2.5)、3.0m(D3.0)、3.5 m(D3.5)和4.0 m(D4.0) 7个地下水埋深处理,分析了地下水埋深对春玉米干物质积累、根系和产量性状等的影响。结果表明:(1)在不同地下水埋深条件下根长、根表面积、根体积随着生育期推进呈增大趋势,且在各处理之间差异显著(P<0.05),而根粗在灌浆成熟期先增大后减小。(2)在拔节期和灌浆成熟期,茎叶干物质积累量随地下水埋深增加先减小后增大,D2.0处理最低,较其他处理减少7.2%～19.5%;在灌浆成熟期,D2.5处理下穗部干物质积累量最低,较其他处理减少9.8%～24.8%;在抽雄吐丝期,D2.0处理下根部干物质最高,比其他处理高出7.2%～54.2%。(3)产量随地下水埋深增加而先减小后增大,D1.0处理产量最大,D3.0处理产量最低,D1.0处理比其他处理高出365～1790 kg·hm^-2。(4)将不同处理下干物质和根系各...     

地下水埋深对东北平原地下水补给及大豆生长动态的影响

为探明不同地下水埋深条件下地下水补给状况及大豆生长动态变化,于2021和2022年利用地下水位自动控制系统开展了4个地下水埋深处理(1 m, D₁;2 m, D₂;3 m, D₃;4 m, D₄)的栽培试验,探讨地下水补给量、灌溉用水量、植株生长动态和产量与地下水埋深的关系,并采用Logistic模型对株高、叶面积指数和干物质积累等生长动态进行模拟分析。结果表明：与D₁处理相比,D₂、D₃、D₄处理地下水补给量在2年中分别降低81.1%、96.8%、97.5%和80.7%、96.7%、97.3%;D₁处理大豆仅在播种时灌溉1次,其后整个生育期依靠地下水补给就可以满足生长发育的水分需求,其灌溉用水量在2年中分别较D₂、D₃、D₄处理减少91.7%、93.0%、94.2%和90.9%、92.9%、94.0%。4个处理中,D     

高温强光环境条件下3种沙地灌木的光合生理特点

比较研究了3种沙地灌木羊紫（Hedysarum fruticosum var.mongloicum）、油蒿（Artemisia ordosia)和沙柳（Salix pasmmophylla)在适宜光照和温度（春季）以及高温强光（炎热的夏季）的光合气体交换特点。前两种灌木为自然分布的种类,后一种为人工插条栽植的种类,瞬时光合有效辐射（PPFD）、叶面温度（Tleaf)、净光合速率（PN）、光系统Ⅱ最大量子产率（Fv/Fm)等参数每隔2h进行1次测量,羊柴和油蒿分别比沙柳具有高的净光合速率（PN）和气孔导度（gs),在高叶温（＞46℃）和强日辐射光（PPFD＞2100μmol.m^-2.s^-1)下这种差异更明显。在光合作用日进程中,净光合速率的下降主要受气孔开度的影响。沙柳的光合作用在高温条件下受到严重的抑制,表现在光合产物的负积累（以呼吸消耗为主）,炎热夏季沙柳的光合净积累仅在早上进行,沙柳的最大量子产率在16：00左右最低,表明这一阶段光系统Ⅱ受到抑制,但这种作用至晚间消失。在炎热夏季,荒漠灌木的光合作用日动态曲线表现出典型的双峰型,而在春季则为单峰型,且夏季的第一个峰值比春季的峰值早2h左右。实验表明高温造成了沙柳光合作用的严重抑制,而天然种类羊柴和油蒿则在相同的环境下更抗高温与强光辐射。沙柳在春季适宜的环境下积累光合产物,而大炎热夏季则以维持其生长为主,光合生理特征表明柳不适合在强光与高温等严酷环境下生存,毛乌素沙地沙柳群落经一定时间后开始腿可能与此有关。     

共生条件下三种荒漠灌木的根系分布特征及其对降水的响应

以全根系挖掘法,对共生于原始盐生荒漠生境中的多枝柽柳[Tamarix ramosissima (Ledeb.)]、梭梭[Haloxylon ammodendron(C. A. Mey.)Bunge]、琵琶柴[Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim.]的根系分布特征进行了研究;对降水引发的湿润-干旱周期中植物同化枝水势、蒸腾速率的变化过程进行了跟踪观测,并据此计算3种植物的水分胁迫效应指数和土壤-植物系统导水度,以最终确定3种植物用水策略和其对降水的响应特征.研究结果表明,多枝柽柳的吸收根系分布范围从地下50cm到310cm,单株平均总吸收根表面积为30249.2cm2;梭梭的根系分布范围0～250cm,单株平均总吸收根表面积12847.3 cm2;琵琶柴的根系分布范围0～80cm,单株平均总吸收根表面积361.8 cm2.多枝柽柳为深根植物,主要利用地下水和深层土壤水,在降水引发的湿润-干旱周期中,其植物水分生理参数对降水无响应.琵琶柴为浅根植物,对降水响应极为显著.梭梭的根系分布特征介于多枝柽柳和琵琶柴之间,对地下水和降水都有利用,对降水响应显著.3种荒漠灌木对降水的响应差异显然与其根系分布、水分利用策略密切相关,在未来降水发生变化的情景下,根系分布特征的差异将决定着植物在水分资源竞争中的地位.具有较强根系形态可塑性的物种,如梭梭,将具有明显的竞争优势.     

Water-use strategy of three central Asian desert shrubs and their responses to rain pulse events

Plant water-use strategy is considered to be a function of the complex interactions between species of different functional types and the prevailing environmental conditions. The functional type of a plant’s root system is fundamental in determining the water-use strategy of desert shrubs and the physiological responses of the plant to an occasional rainfall event, or rain pulse. In this current study of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt., Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge and Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim., three dominant shrub species in the Gurbantonggut Desert (Central Asia), plant root systems were excavated in their native habitat to investigate their functional types and water-use strategies. We monitored leaf water potential, photosynthesis and transpiration rate during a 39-day interval between successive precipitation events during which time the upper soil water changed markedly. Plant apparent hydraulic conductance and water-use efficiency were calculated for the varying soil water conditions. Our results show that: 1) The three species of shrub belong to two functional groups: phreatophyte and non-phreatophyte; 2) The photosynthetic capacity and leaf-specific apparent hydraulic conductance of the three species was stable during the time that the water condition in the upper soil changed; 3) Transpiration, leaf water potential and water-use efficiency in Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt. were stable during the period of observation, but varied significantly for the other two species. Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt., as a phreatophyte, relies mostly on groundwater for survival; its physiological activity is not inhibited in any way by the deficiency in upper soil water. Non-phreatophyte Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge and Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim. use precipitation-derived upper soil water for survival, and thus respond clearly to rain pulse events in terms of leaf water potential and transpiration. The observed similarity in leaf-specific photosynthesis capacity among all three species indicates that the two non-phreatophyte species are able to maintain normal photosynthesis within a wide range of plant water status. The observed stability in leaf-specific apparent hydraulic conductance indicates that the two non-phreatophyte species are able to maintain sufficient water supply to their foliage via, mostly likely, effective morphological adjustment at the scale of the individual plant.Section editor: H.

物种多样性及生物量与地下水位的关系——以海流兔河流域为例

以3条样带上117块植被群落调查样方为基础资料,研究了海流兔河流域植被物种多样性及生物量与地下水位之间的关系。结果表明:1)地下水位高低及地貌类型均会影响草本层植物群落组成及优势种构成。滩地样地中,随地下水位降低,优势草本的更替方向为寸草,芨芨草,马蔺,狗尾草,碱茅;沙坡样地中,优势草本的更替方向为大针茅,沙鞭,沙蓬,沙打旺。2)地下水位为1.5 m时是草本植物群落生长发育最适宜区域,物种多样性及丰富度达到最大,而灌木层物种多样性及丰富度随地下水位下降呈现波动变化的特征;当地下水位埋深小于5.0 m时,草本层物种多样性及丰富度明显高于灌木层,在地下水位埋深大于5.0 m时,草本层物种多样性指数开始出现低于灌木层的现象。3)草本植物多样性及丰富度和生物量之间关联性不强,滩地样地中,草本层地上生物量及地下生物量在地下水位为1.8 m时具有最大值,但植物群落结构较为单一;沙坡样地中,地上生物量最大值出现在地下水位为5.0 m的区域内,而地下生物量最大值出现在地下水位为3.5 m时。综上,物种多样性、地上及地下生物量与地下水位都不是简单的线性关系,而是有一个最适水位;高于或低于这个最适水位,多样性和生物量都会下降。     

Photosynthesis and photoinhibition in two xerophytic shrubs during drought

Seasonal changes in water relations, net photosynthetic rate (P _N), and fluorescence of chlorophyll (Chl) a of two perennial C₃ deciduous shrubs, Ipomoea carnea and Jatropha gossypifolia, growing in a thorn scrub in Venezuela were studied in order to establish the possible occurrence of photoinhibition during dry season and determine whether changes in photochemical activity of photosystem 2 (PS2) may explain variations of P _N in these species. Leaf water potential () decreased from –0.2 to –2.1 MPa during drought in both species. The P _N decreased with in I. carnea and J. gossypifolia by 64 and 74 %, respectively. Carboxylation efficiency (CE) decreased by more than 50 and 70 % in I. carnea and J. gossypifolia, respectively. In I. carnea, relative stomatal limitation (L_s) increased by 17 % and mesophyll limitation (L_m) by 65 % during drought, while in J. gossypifolia L_s decreased by 27 % and L_m increased by 51 %. Drought caused a reduction in quantum yield of PS2 (_PS2) in both species. Drought affected the capacity of energy dissipation of leaves, judging from the changes in the photochemical (q_P) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) coefficients. Photoinhibition during drought in I. carnea and J. gossypifolia was evidenced in the field by a drop in the maximum quantum yield of PS2 (F_v/F_m) below 0.8 and also by non-coordinated changes in _PS2 and quantum yield of non-photochemical excitation quenching (Y_n). Total soluble protein content on an area basis increased with but the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase content remained unchanged. A reduction of total Chl content with drought was observed. Hence in the species studied photoinhibition occurred, which imposed an important limitation on carbon assimilation during drought.     

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.     

亚热带森林演替树种叶片气孔导度对环境水分的水力响应

利用LI-1600稳态气孔计和PMS压力室,在田间测定了群落演替早期强阳生性树种桃金娘(Rhodomyrtus tomentosa)和三叉苦(Evodia lepta)、偏中性的阳生性树种荷木(Schima superba)、群落演替后期的耐荫树种鸭脚木(Schefllera octophylla)和九节(Psychotrie rubra)的叶片气孔导度(gs)和叶片水势(ΨL),研究不同演替阶段树种的气孔导度对环境水分的响应.结果表明,早上叶片有较高的ΨL,随着时间推移ΨL逐渐降低,与此同时比叶水力导度(KL)随ΨL降低而下降,桃金娘、三叉苦、荷木、鸭脚木和九节水力导度初始最低值时的ΨL分别为-1.6、-1.42、-1.30、-0.9MPa和-1.05MPa.随着ΨL降低,田间测定的gs开始从上午的较低值上升至约中午时的最大值,随后开始降低,此时的ΨL分别为-1.58、-1.52、-1.35、-1.02MPa和-1.0MPa.不同植物种类有不同的KL初始最低值的ΨL和gs达到最大值的ΨL.但不论何种供试树种,KL最低值时的ΨL与gs开始从最大值下降时的ΨL相近;显示KL与gs在动态变化中存在协调关系.树种间的gs和KL对ΨL的不同响应显示桃金娘和三叉苦的KL最低值时和gs开始下降时的ΨL均较鸭脚木和九节对应的ΨL低(p<0.05),意味着演替早期树种能在较强水分胁迫下保持较高的气孔导度.这一水力特性保证树种在水分胁迫下维持叶片的光合速率,有利于其在群落中的生长和优势地位的维护,而演替后期树种在较高ΨL下气孔关闭,降低了光合速率.全球变暖和环境进一步干旱可能成为限制亚热带森林植物群落的正向演替进程的潜在因素之一.     

Integration of hydraulic and chemical signalling in the control of stomatal conductance and water status of droughted plants

We describe here an integration of hydraulic and chemical signals which control stomatal conductance of plants in drying soil, and suggest that such a system is more likely than control based on chemical signals or water relations alone. The determination of xylem [ABA] and the stomatal response to xylem [ABA] are likely to involve the water flux through the plant. (1) If, as seems likely, the production of a chemical message depends on the root water status (Ψ_r), it will not depend solely on the soil water potential (Ψ_s) but also on the flux of water through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, to which are linked the difference between Ψ_r and Ψ_s. (2) The water flux will also dilute the concentration of the message in the xylem sap. (3) The stomatal sensitivity to the message is increased as leaf water potential falls. Stomatal conductance, which controls the water flux, therefore would be controlled by a water-flux-dependent message, with a water-flux-dependent sensitivity. In such a system, we have to consider a common regulation for stomatal conductance, leaf and root water potentials, water flux and concentration of ABA in the xylem. In order to test this possibility, we have combined equations which describe the generation and effects of chemical signals and classical equations of water flux. When the simulation was run for a variety of conditions, the solution suggested that such common regulation can operate. Simulations suggest that, as well as providing control of stomatal conductance, integration of chemical and hydraulic signalling may also provide a control of leaf water potential and of xylem [ABA], features which are apparent from our experimental data. We conclude that the root message would provide the plant with a means to sense the conditions of water extraction (soil water status and resisance to water flux) on a daily timescale, while the short-term plant response to this message would depend on the evaporative demand.     

Seasonal changes in stomatal responses of sweet cherry and plum to water status in detached leaves

Seasonal changes in the relationship between stomatal responses and water potential components in detached leaves of sweet cherry ( Prunus avium L. cv. Bigarreau Morreau) and plum ( Prunus domestica L. cv. Queen Victoria) were examined by the simultaneous measurement of stomatal conductance and water relation parameters derived from pressure-volume curves. The water potential threshold for stomatal closure in sweet cherry leaves throughout the season and in plum leaves until mid-July varied nearly in parallel with changes in the osmotic potential at the turgor loss point. From August onward, closing reactions of plum stomata had no relationship to the turgor loss point. Stomata of sweet cherry leaves opened more widely and showed slower reactions to dehydration early in the season than later. Seasonal changes of stomatal conductance and stomatal responses to dehydration in both species seem thus to be influenced by fruit development and ripening.     

Physiological and productive responses of Olea europaea L. cultivars Frantoio and Leccino to a regulated deficit irrigation regime

Abstract

Olive is a drought-tolerant species and it is known that it responds efficiently to any additional water up to a limit. A field experiment was planned with the following aims: to provide estimates of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) to improve water use efficiency during the growing season; to present guidelines for efficient management of irrigation scheduling; and to characterize the relationship between plant water status and optimum fruit yield. These relationships were monitored during four years by analysing the influence of deficit irrigation strategies on mature modern-trained olive trees of cultivars Frantoio and Leccino. Treatments were a non-irrigated control (rain-fed) and three treatments that received a seasonal water amount equivalent to 33, 66 and 100% of ETc, from the beginning of pit hardening to early fruit veraison. Results of the relationship between leaf water potential and maximum stomatal conductance (Ψ_pd vs. g _smax) showed that the stomatal apparatus in Frantoio was more sensitive to water deficit than that of Leccino. Differences in yield between treatments were mainly related to mean fruit weight, indicating that water availability might have affected growing conditions before flowering or during the early stages of fruit growth rather than later in the summer season. Vegetative development was a function of water available to plants. Frantoio achieved the highest crop production per unit of water consumption. Oil quality was scarcely affected by deficit irrigation. Regulated deficit irrigation of olive trees after pit hardening could be recommended, at least under the experimental conditions of this study. Given the different long-term watering response of Frantoio and Leccino, a cultivar-specific irrigation scheduling is advisable.
