在林窗、林缘、林下3种自然光环境下,对吉林蛟河阔叶红松林常见树种拧筋槭、白牛槭、色木槭和红松的光合和光谱特性进行对比研究,以期从生理生态角度探讨它们对自然光环境的适应能力和响应机制。结果表明:4种乔木幼树叶片的光饱和点(LSP)和光补偿点(LCP)随着生长环境光强的下降而减小,林下各树种幼树LSP和LCP显著低于林窗内幼树(P<0.05);除白牛槭外林下其他树种最大净光合效率(Pnmax)均显著小于林窗内幼树(P<0.05);不同树种幼树表观量子效率(AQY)和暗呼吸速率(Rd)随光环境的变化并没有出现明显的变化规律,各环境间差异较小。除白牛槭外,其他树种幼树叶绿素归一化指数(Chl NDI)随环境光强的减少而增大,林下树种的光化学反射指数(PRI)普遍高于光条件更好环境下树种,说明林下幼树叶片叶绿素含量和光合速率大于其他光环境;各树种植物叶片水分指数(WI)在不同光环境之间存在显著差异,环境光强越大植物叶片WI越小,植物叶片水分浓度越小。林缘下3种槭属幼树结构不敏感植被光谱指数(SIPI)显著小于其他光环境(P<0.05)... 相似文献

The persistence of the Tertiary relict tree Tetracentron sinense Oliv. on the eastern slope of the Ailao Mountains, Yunnan, SW China, was here studied in terms of population structure (size, age) and regeneration patterns. T. sinense occurred in unstable habitats by stream banks, on steep slopes, on scree slopes, or on roadsides near streams in narrow valleys, all places subject to frequent natural disturbances, whereas none were found on stable gentle slopes free of major disturbances at similar altitudes. Further, no established saplings of T. sinense were found in forests having high bamboo (Yushania crassicollis Yi) coverage in their understory. The size and age structure of T. sinense were multimodal. The reproduction of the tree was either by means of abundant minute wind-dispersed seeds or by resprouts in unstable habitats. These populations depended on disturbance or gap regeneration to survive. T. sinense, along with other tree life-forms including evergreen broad-leaved species and conifers, dominated in the forest canopy layer, even reaching the emergent layer in places. Results of the study provide insight into the ecological characteristics and survival mechanisms of this East Asian paleoendemic tree species. The study will provide a scientific basis for recommendations for the conservation of this species and for other Tertiary relict plants having similar regeneration dynamics. 相似文献

光环境与幼树功能性状的关系对天然林的更新与演替具有重要的生态学意义。以广东南岭区域天然常绿阔叶林下不同林龄(幼龄林,中龄林,老龄林)的森林群落为研究对象,通过监测冠层结构、林下光照数据和林下幼树功能性状等指标,研究林龄梯度下其冠层结构与林下光环境之间的关系,以及林下幼树功能性状对光环境的响应。结果表明:(1)中龄林叶面积指数显著高于幼龄林和老龄林(P<0.05),随着林龄的增长,林冠开度和透光率逐渐下降,林龄梯度下透光率、R/FR(红光/远红光比值)、Bw/Rw(宽带蓝光/宽带红光比值)差异极显著(P<0.001);(2)天然常绿阔叶林中透光率与光质之间极显著相关(P<0.001),R/FR随着透光率的增加而增加,Bw/Rw随着透光率的增加而减少。(3)林下幼树功能性状在光环境之间差异显著(P<0.05),老龄林林下幼树叶片氮含量显著高于幼龄林,而叶片重叠率显著低于幼龄林;(4)在本试验地中,R/FR和Bw/Rw的变化对林下幼树的高径比和光合作用并无显著影响,光强对同种植物不同光环境下最大净光合速率的影响较大。总体而言,林龄梯度冠层结构和光环境的差异能在一定程度... 相似文献

Indocalamus longiauritus (a dwarf bamboo) dominates forest understory and functions as an ecological filter to hinder the regeneration of canopy tree
species in many temperate forests. However, the physiological mechanism underlying the function of ecological filters is not
clear. In this study, we measured leaf-level carbon capture ability and use efficiency of the dwarf bamboo and the co-existing
Fagus lucida (beech) and Castanopsis lamontii (chinkapin) seedlings in forest understory and small gaps in a beech–chinkapin mixed forest in the summer of 2005. The results
indicated that I. longiauritus exhibited greater carbon capture ability, as indexed by light-saturated photosynthetic rate (P
max), maximal carboxylation rate, maximal electron transport rate and carboxylation efficiency, than the co-occurring F. lucida and C. lamontii seedlings in both forest understory and small gaps. Higher carbon capture ability in I. longiauritus was related to its greater partition of absorbed light energy to photochemistry. I. longiauritus had higher photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency than F. lucida and C. lamontii seedlings in both light environments. However, water use efficiency (WUE) in I. longiauritus was higher than F. lucida but lower than C. lamontii. This intermediate WUE in I. longiauritus was related to its intermediate light-saturated stomatal conductance. In addition, I. longiauritus reduced metabolic cost by increasing the ratio of P
max to respiration rate, leading to increased net carbon balance. On the other hand, F. lucida and C. lamontii seedlings had greater plasticity of carbon capture ability and leaf structural traits, which might facilitate colonization
of gaps and realization of natural regeneration in these species. 相似文献

天然林林下光质对乔木幼苗以及灌草的组成与更新具有重要的生态学意义。但目前对于林下光质的研究仍然有限。以吉林东部地区天然林为例,通过调查乔木数据和林下光质数据,基于移动窗口法分析不同空间尺度森林冠层结构与林下光质的关系。结果表明:不同林型下红光光子通量密度(R)与蓝光光子通量密度(B)存在差异。其中沙松-千金榆-花楷槭混交林林下蓝光光子通量密度最小,而沙松-紫椴-臭冷杉混交林和长白落叶松纯林林下最大。随着尺度的增大,天然林乔木胸高断面积与R/PFD(红光/光子通量密度比值)和B/PFD(蓝光/光子通量密度比值)的比值呈显著正相关(P<0.05)。并且随着尺度的增加,相关系数总体逐渐增大,在35m处达到峰值。在此基础上在南向、东向和西向各延伸10m时呈现显著正相关(P<0.05)。在该尺度下分析优势树种对林下R/PFD和B/PFD比值的影响时发现:R/PFD与B/PFD比值随着针叶林胸高断面积的增加而增加。相对于阔叶林来说,多数林型针叶林下的冠层结构与林下R/PFD和B/PFD比值之间显著正相关(P<0.05)。在不同树种下,乔木冠层结构对R/PFD和B/PFD比值的影响... 相似文献

濒危植物长叶榧的光合生理生态特性 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
利用Li-6400 XT便携式光合作用仪对林窗、林缘、林下3种生境中的长叶榧(Torreya ackii)在春、夏、秋、冬4个季节里的光合生理生态指标进行测定,探讨3种生境中长叶榧光合能力的季节变化及其对不同光环境的响应,分析其濒危机制,为长叶榧的迁地保护和种群的繁衍复壮提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)林窗、林缘的长叶榧净光合速率(Pn)日变化在夏季呈"双峰"曲线,其它3个季节均呈"单峰"曲线;林下的Pn日变化在4个季节均呈"单峰"曲线。(2)3种生境中最大净光合速率(Pnmax)、光饱和点(LSP)、表观量子效率(AQY)、最大羧化速率(Vcmax)、最大电子传递速率(Jmax)、磷酸丙糖利用率(TPU)均为夏季最高,使得夏季有较强的光合作用能力,但夏季林窗、林缘的长叶榧出现光合"午休"现象,光补偿点(LCP)、暗呼吸速率(Rd)也较高,使得夏季林窗生境的长叶榧日均Pn明显低于于秋季,林缘的日均Pn与秋季差异不显著。(3)4个季节的日均Pn、Pnmax、LSP、Vcmax、Jma、TPU均为林窗最高,林窗与林下差异显著,表明长叶榧具有阳性植物的特点,适宜生长在光照较强的林窗生境。(4)在生长旺盛的夏、秋季,长叶榧的LSP比伴生物种低,LCP比伴生物种高,对光适应的生态幅度较窄;与伴生物种相比,长叶榧的Pn较低,光合能力较弱,在激烈的种间竞争中处于不利地位,可能成为其濒危的一个重要原因。 相似文献

该研究综合运用野外调查和室内分析的方法,评估桉树人工林林下植物功能群的组成、分布及更新方式和相关环境因子之间的关系。结果表明:林分更新5 a后,除了非禾本科杂草功能群外,其他林下植物功能群的物种丰富度均呈现不同程度的增加,但与对照组(砍伐迹地)相比,其差异程度均不显著(P0.05);与对照组相比,藤本和蕨类功能群的相对多度也出现增加趋势,但禾本科草本功能群显著减少(P0.05);木本、藤本和蕨类功能群的相对盖度也呈现增加趋势,但禾本科草本功能群与对照组相比显著减少(P0.05);主成分分析(PCA)发现萌芽更新或植苗更新林的林下植物功能群组成和分布与对照组相比均发生了显著的变异,但不同更新方式(萌芽和植苗)下其林下植物功能群组成和分布差异不明显;通过冗余分析(RDA)确定了冠层透光系数、土壤孔隙度、坡向和土壤氮磷比是影响该林地林下植物功能群的主要因子,它们的叠加效应能解释大于75%的林下植物功能群的变异,最终模型通过排序得到冠层透光系数是影响该林地林下植物功能群的最主要因子。短期的研究发现萌芽和植苗这两种不同的更新方式对桉树林下植物功能群的影响有限,这可能与这两种更新方式形成的林冠结构和土壤理化性质差异性较小有关。 相似文献

Sun-and shade-adapted plants of Ailanthus altissima utilized thermal-dissipative photoprotection (NPQ) across a range of photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD), with higher NPQ and lower maximum quantum yield of photosystem 2 photochemistry (Fv/Fm) in sun-adapted individuals, suggesting increased engagement of antennae-based quenching. Photosynthetic quantum requirements (Qreq; number of photons per CO2) were similar in sun and shade plants, but were low and comparable to forest understory species. Diurnal measurements showed that PPFDs in both habitats were consistently above photosynthetic compensation irradiance, and frequently exceeded saturating values. In addition, sun- and shade-adapted individuals possessed stomata that tracked short-term fluctuations in PPFD. Thus A. altissima may be unique in that it couples high, shade-plant like photosynthetic efficiency with high photosynthetic capacity in high-irradiance, while stomatal attributes that optimize water use efficiency are maintained in the shade. These features may contribute to success of A. altissima in establishing in disturbance-prone urban systems, and facilitate its spread into more PPFD-limited and competitive natural ecosystems. 相似文献

Natural regeneration of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) establishes under shade, but sudden exposure to high irradiance may occur due to openings in the canopy. To elucidate ecophysiological mechanisms associated with survival of European beech seedlings, the gas exchange, chlorophyll concentrations, and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters of two different beech populations were studied under changing light conditions. Plants were grown both in a growth chamber and at a natural site (one population) where the seedlings were raised in containers placed in understory and in simulated canopy gaps. Upon exposure to high light in the growth chamber, photosynthetic rates of shade-acclimated leaves of seedlings from both populations increased severalfold and then decreased over several days to the rates of the low-light control seedlings. High-light seedlings always had the highest photosynthetic rates. Initial fluorescence displayed a trend opposite that of photosynthesis; it increased over time, and relative fluorescence and half-time rise declined continuously until the end of experiment to very low values. Exposure to high light of shade-acclimated seedlings resulted in a shift in chlorophyll concentrations to levels intermediate between high-light and low-light seedlings. The light treatment effects were statistically greater than population effects; however, seedlings from the Abetone population were found to be more susceptible to changing light conditions than seedlings from Sicily. Reciprocal light treatments on plants growing at the natural site confirmed the results obtained in the growth chamber experiment. Overall, beech seedlings grown in the field appeared to have a fairly large acclimation potential achieved by plasticity in the photosynthetic apparatus. The lack of pronounced acclimation to high light in seedlings grown in the growth chamber was ascribed to a threshold-type relationship between the acclimation capacity and the level of damage. These observations on the limited potential for acclimation to high light in leaves of European beech seedlings which show a clear capability to exploit sunflecks, are discussed in relation to regeneration following canopy gap formation and reinforce the view of the central role of gap formation in forest dynamics. We conclude that small forest gaps (in which sunflecks play a major role) may present a favorable environment for survival and growth of beech because of their limited ability to acclimate to a sudden increase in irradiance and because of the moderate levels of light stress found in small gaps. 相似文献

To analyze acclimation of Euterpe edulis seedlings to changes in light availability, we transferred three-year-old seedlings cultivated for six months under natural shade understory [≈ 1.3 mol(photon) m?2 d?1] to a forest gap [≈ 25.0 mol(photon) m?2 d?1]. After the transfer, changes in chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf gas-exchange parameters, as well as in the light-response curves of photosynthesis and photosynthetic induction parameters, were analyzed during the following 110 days. Simultaneously measured photosynthetic characteristics in the shaded seedlings grown in understory served as the control. Despite the fact that the understory seedlings were under suboptimal conditions to achieve their light-saturated net photosynthetic rate (P Nmax), light-response curves and photosynthetic induction parameters indicated that the species had the low respiration rate and a fast opening of stomata in response to the intermittent occurrence of sunflecks, which exerted a feed-forward stimulation on P Nmax. Sudden exposure to high light induced photoinhibition during the first week after the transfer of seedlings to gap, as it was shown by the abrupt decline of the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm). The photoinhibition showed the time-dependent dynamics, as the Fv/Fm of the seedlings transferred to the forest gap recovered completely after 110 days. Furthermore, the net photosynthetic rate increased 3.5-fold in relation to priorexposure values. In summary, these data indicated that more than 21 days was required for the shade-acclimated seedlings to recover from photoinhibition and to relax induction photosynthetic limitations following the sudden exposure to high light. Moreover, the species responded very quickly to light availability; it highlights the importance of sunflecks to understory seedlings. 相似文献

Plants of the C4 tree species, Euphorbia forbesii, Sherff and the C3 tree species, Claoxylon sandwicense Muell-Arg., were grown in a full sun and a shade environment designed to simulate the understory of their native Hawiian forest habitat. When grown under shade conditions, both species exhibited a photosynthetic light response typical of shade plants with low light compensation points and low dark respiration rates. E. forbesii, however, exhibited greater acclimation of light saturated photosynthetic rates and no evidence of photoinhibition in high light. In contrast, quantum yields for CO2 uptake and chlorophyll contents were reduced in the high-light as compared to the low-light grown C. sandwicense plants. Both species exhibited similar changes in the intercellular CO2 response curves and chloroplast whole-chain electron transport capacities, suggesting that the underlying mechanisms of light acclimation are similar. Chloroplasts of E. forbesii exhibited large changes in ultrastructure, with much greater thylakoid membrane development in low than high light. In contrast, C. sandwicense exhibited different starch contents, but otherwise similar membrane development in high and low light. The results show that E. forbesii possesses a very flexible photosynthetic apparatus which may account for its ability to survive in the understory of shaded forests.Abbreviations gs =

Seasonal changes in photosynthetic capacity, leaf nitrogen (N) content, leaf chlorophyll (Chl) content and leaf N allocation
patterns in leaves of different ages in the evergreen understory shrub, Daphniphyllum
humile Maxim, growing at a forest border and an understory site were studied. In current-year leaves at the understory site, the
N and Rubisco contents increased from spring to autumn although their light-saturated photosynthetic rate at 22°C (P
max22) remained stable, indicating that their mesophyll conductance rates declined as they completed their development and/or that
they invested increasing amounts of their resources in photosynthetic enzymes during this period. In contrast, seasonal changes
in P
max22 in current-year leaves at the forest border site were correlated with changes in Rubisco content. In 1-year old leaves at
the understory site, P
max22 and contents of Chl, leaf N, and Rubisco remained stable from spring to autumn, while these parameters decreased in 1-year-old
forest border leaves, indicating that N may have been remobilized from shaded 1-year-old leaves to sunlit current-year leaves.
When leaves senesced at the forest border site the Rubisco content decreased more rapidly than that of light-harvesting proteins
such as LHCII, suggesting that N remobilization from Rubisco may be more efficient, possibly because Rubisco has greater N
costs and is soluble, whereas the light-harvesting proteins are membrane components. 相似文献

Summary We investigated relationships between light availability, diel acid fluctuation, and resource storage in the arborescent cactus Opuntia excelsa growing in western Mexico. We compared canopy and understory individuals from a deciduous forest as well as open-grown plants of the same approximate size as those in the understory. During the wet season light availability and daily fluctuations in titratable acidity (an index of carbon uptake) were lower in the understory than in unshaded habitats. In the dry season all plants had reduced levels of acid fluctuation, with the smallest individuals, regardless of habitat, showing the greatest reduction. These data suggest that light availability in the forest understory constrains carbon assimilation during the wet season, but that a factor associated with plant size, possibly water status, limits carbon gain during the dry season. Plants in all habitats remained physiologically active for at least five months into the dry season. We suggest that this was possible due to the maintenance of constant concentrations of water and nitrogen in the photosynthetically active chlorenchyma. Parenchyma in terminal cladodes showed a different seasonal pattern of resource storage; water content and nitrogen concentration were reduced from the wet to the dry season in the parenchyma. Using the parenchyma to supply photosynthetic tissues during times of reduced resource availability allows O. excelsa to assimilate carbon during times of the year when most other trees in the forest are leafless. 相似文献

The photosynthetic and respiratory responses of Gracilaria salicornia in the subtropical waters of Japan (in Okinawa) and in the tropical waters of Thailand (in Rayong and Phuket Provinces),
were studied under various conditions of irradiance, salinity and temperature. This alga showed adaptability in its photosynthetic
and respiratory responses to oceanic salinity as well as to subtropical to tropical temperature. Significant differences in
the photosynthetic and respiratory rates among the G. salicornia populations collected from the above sites were observed. The Phuket population showed adaptability to high irradiance and
temperature, characteristic of its natural sun-exposed environment, as it exhibited the highest I
k and I
c, and lowest α and higher P
max at 30–35°C. On the other hand, the Okinawa population demonstrated adaptability to low submarine irradiance as it had a lower
I
k and I
c than either population from Thailand. Its P
max at 20–25°C was also higher than that of the Phuket population. The Rayong population, however, showed the highest P
max, Rd, α, I
k and I
c, suggesting its adaptability to both sun and shade light conditions in its natural environment.

In a temperate climate, evergreen species in the understory are exposed to large changes in photosynthetic photon flux density
(PPFD) and temperature over the year. We determined the photosynthetic traits of leaves of an evergreen understory shrub Aucuba japonica at three sites at monthly intervals: understorys of a deciduous forest; an evergreen forest; and a gap in a mixed forest.
This set up enabled us to separate the effects of seasonal change in PPFD and temperature on photosynthetic acclimation under
natural conditions. The effects of PPFD and temperature were analysed by simple and multiple regression analyses. The amounts
of light utilisation components (LU), represented by nitrogen and rubisco contents per area, were higher in winter, when temperature
was low and PPFD was high. The LU relative to the amount of light harvesting components (LH), represented by chlorophyll a/b and rubisco/chlorophyll ratios, and the inverse of chlorophyll/nitrogen ratio were also higher in winter. We quantified the
effects of PPFD and temperature on the LU and LH components. Across sites PPFD had stronger effects than air temperature,
while within a site temperature had stronger effects on photosynthetic acclimation. We concluded that the photosynthetic apparatus
is strongly affected by the prevailing PPFD at the time of leaf development. Within a given light regime, however, plants
acclimated by increasing LU relative to LH primarily in response to temperature and to a lesser extent to PPFD. 相似文献
