The potential of liquid manure as sole nutrient source for cultivation of Ulva lactuca was investigated with the perspective of utilizing the produced biomass for feed and/or energy. Algae grown with manure demonstrated equal growth rates to algae grown with standard f/2-medium. The optimum manure concentration, expressed as ammonium concentration, was 25?μM. At these conditions, the biomass produced was potentially suitable for anaerobic digestion, due to a relative high carbon/nitrogen ratio (approximately 19). At higher manure concentrations, tissue concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, proteins, and amino acids increased, making the biomass less suitable for anaerobic digestion but potentially interesting as a feed supplement. Cultivating U. lactuca with manure as nutrient source has potential in terms of bioremediation as well as production of bioenergy and protein-feed. 相似文献

The effect of external glucose (51 mM) and acetate (13 mM) on growth and photosynthetic capacity of Ulva lactuca L. was tested in laboratory cultures over 41 days in the dark and in dim light (0.9 μmol photons·m?2·s?1) at 7–8° C. Glucose and acetate had a significant positive effect on growth rate, chlorophyll content, and quantum yield for discs grown in the dark and in dim light. The carbon gain from heterotrophic uptake was low and only allowed U. lactuca to maintain a specific uptake was low and only allowed U. lactuca to maintain a specific growth rate of 0.005 day?1 compared to 0.06–0.1 day?1 at higher light intensities. However, plants with added organic substrate maintained a normal chlorophyll content and were able to photosynthesize whereas control plants lost pigmentation and photosynthetic capability after 41 days in both dim light and darkness, probably because of disorganization of the photosynthetic apparatus. This suggest that the ecological significance of heterotrophic uptake is to allow U. lactuca to survive during prolonged low light conditions with an intact photosynthetic apparatus. 相似文献

Rising atmospheric CO2‐concentrations will have severe consequences for a variety of biological processes. We investigated the responses of the green alga Ulva lactuca (Linnaeus) to rising CO2‐concentrations in a rockpool scenario. U. lactuca was cultured under aeration with air containing either preindustrial pCO2 (280 μatm) or the pCO2 predicted by the end of the 21st century (700 μatm) for 31 days. We addressed the following question: Will elevated CO2‐concentrations affect photosynthesis (net photosynthesis, maximum relative electron transport rate (rETR(max)), maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm), pigment composition) and growth of U. lactuca in rockpools with limited water exchange? Two phases of the experiment were distinguished: In the initial phase (day 1–4) the Seawater Carbonate System (SWCS) of the culture medium could be adjusted to the selected atmospheric pCO2 condition by continuous aeration with target pCO2 values. In the second phase (day 4–31) the SWCS was largely determined by the metabolism of the growing U. lactuca biomass. In the initial phase, Fv/Fm and rETR(max) were only slightly elevated at high CO2‐concentrations, whereas growth was significantly enhanced. After 31 days the Chl a content of the thalli was significantly lower under future conditions and the photosynthesis of thalli grown under preindustrial conditions was not dependent on external carbonic anhydrase. Biomass increased significantly at high CO2‐concentrations. At low CO2‐concentrations most adult thalli disintegrated between day 14 and 21, whereas at high CO2‐concentrations most thalli remained integer until day 31. Thallus disintegration at low CO2‐concentrations was mirrored by a drastic decline in seawater dissolved inorganic carbon and HCO3?. Accordingly, the SWCS differed significantly between the treatments. Our results indicated a slight enhancement of photosynthetic performance and significantly elevated growth of U. lactuca at future CO2‐concentrations. The accelerated thallus disintegration at high CO2‐concentrations under conditions of limited water exchange indicates additional CO2 effects on the life cycle of U. lactuca when living in rockpools. 相似文献

The relationship between the microclimate within an Oak-Hickory forest and photosynthetic characters of two resident evergreen herbs with contrasting leaf phenologies was investigated on a monthly basis for 1 full year. Heuchera americana has leaf flushes in the spring and fall, with average leaf life spans of 6–7 months. Hexastylis arifolia produces a single cohort of leaves each spring with a leaf life span of 12–13 months. We predicted that among evergreen plants inhabiting a seasonal habitat, a species for which the frequency of leaf turnover is greater than the frequency of seasonal extremes would have a greater annual range in photosynthetic capacity than a species that only produced a single flush of leaves during the year. Photosynthetic parameters, including apparent quantum yield, maximum photosynthetic capacity (Pmax), temperature of maximum photosynthesis, photochemical efficiency of PSII and leaf nitrogen (N) and chlorophyll concentrations, were periodically measured under laboratory conditions in leaves sampled from natural populations of both species. Mature leaves of both species acclimated to changing understory conditions with the mean seasonal differences being significantly greater for Heuchera than for Hexastylis. Area based maximum photosynthetic rates at 25°C were approximately 250% and 100% greater in winter leaves than summer leaves for Heuchera and Hexastylis respectively. Nitrogen concentrations were highest in winter leaves. Chlorophyll concentrations were highest in summer leaves. Low Pmax/N values for these species suggest preferential allocation of leaf nitrogen into non-photosynthetic pools and/or light-harvesting function at the expense of photosynthetic enzymes and electron transport components. Despite the increase in photosynthetic capacity, there was evidence of chronic winter photoinhibition in Hexastylis, but not in Heuchera. Among these ecologically similar species, there appears to be a trade-off between the frequency of leaf production and the balance of photosynthetic acclimation and photoinhibition. 相似文献

The chlorophyceanUlva lactuca L. was grown in the laboratory in unialgal culture to sufficient size so that up to 70 discs, 24 mm in diameter, could be
punched out of a single plant. Using such discs,U. lactuca was then tested with various concentrations of Cd under continuous-flow conditions. A concentration of 4.5 ppm Cd was lethal
toU. lactuca within 6 days. Control discs in unpolluted water increased in diameter at a rate of 8 to 13 % day−1 over a 6-day period. At sublethal concentrations of Cd a sharp reduction in growth rate was observed at increasing concentrations
up to approximately 0.3 ppm Cd, whereas from 0.3 ppm Cd to the lethal concentration the reduction of the growth rate was significantly
less. Reduction in photosynthetic performance corresponded closely to the reduction in growth rate. At ambient concentrations
of 0.8 ppm Cd, the plants concentrated Cd by a factor of approximately 50 in 6 days. Much higher concentration factors were
attained in lower ambient concentrations. After removal from Cd-polluted water into flow-through culture in unpolluted water,
a subsequent loss of Cd was indicated and the plants recovered rapidly. Plants exposed up to 3 d to 0.7 ppm Cd recovered sufficiently
to produce viable gametes 7 days after removal from Cd. Because it has a relatively short life span and apparently loses Cd
subsequent to exposure to Cd-polluted water,Ulva lactuca is not recommended as an alga for monitoring in-situ environmental pollution. 相似文献

Interacting effects of CO2 concentration, temperature and nitrogen supply on the photosynthesis and composition of winter wheat leaves 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
E. DELGADO R. A. C. MITCHELL M. A. J. PARRY S. P. DRISCOLL V. J. MITCHELL D. W. LAWLOR 《Plant, cell & environment》1994,17(11):1205-1213
Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Mercia) was grown at two different atmospheric CO2 concentrations (350 and 700 μmol mol−1), two temperatures [ambient temperature (i.e. tracking the open air) and ambient +4°C] and two rates of nitrogen supply (equivalent to 489 kg ha−1 and 87 kg ha−1). Leaves grown at 700 μmol mol−1 CO2 had slightly greater photosynthetic capacity (10% mean increase over the experiment) than those grown at ambient CO2 concentration, but there were no differences in carboxylation efficiency or apparent quantum yield. The amounts of chlorophyll, soluble protein and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) per unit leaf area did not change with long-term exposure to elevated CO2 concentration. Thus winter wheat, grown under simulated field conditions, for which total biomass was large compared to normal field production, did not experience loss of components of the photosynthetic system or loss of photosynthetic competence with elevated CO2 concentration. However, nitrogen supply and temperature had large effects on photosynthetic characteristics but did not interact with elevated CO2 concentration. Nitrogen deficiency resulted in decreases in the contents of protein, including Rubisco, and chlorophyll, and decreased photosynthetic capacity and carboxylation efficiency. An increase in temperature also reduced these components and shortened the effective life of the leaves, reducing the duration of high photosynthetic capacity. 相似文献

Seaweed biofilters have proven their usefulness in the treatment of fishpond effluents. However, their performance poses a dilemma: TAN (Total Ammonia N) uptake rate – and with it seaweed yield and protein content – is inversely proportional to TAN uptake efficiency. The ideal for a seaweed biofilter performance would be a high uptake rate together with high uptake efficiency. The novel three-stage seaweed biofilter design described here has solved this dilemma. The design used the finding that the performance of seaweed ponds depended on the flux of TAN through them, and that therefore effluents with reduced TAN concentration could provide the seaweed with a high TAN flux if the water flow increased proportionally. Effluents from a seabream fishpond were passed through a series of three successively smaller (25, 12.5 and 6.25 m2, respectively) air-agitated Ulva lactuca ponds. The diminished inflow TAN concentrations to the second and third ponds of the biofilter system were compensated for by the increased water exchange rates, inversely proportional to their sizes. The biofilter performance was evaluated under several TAN loads. TAN was efficiently removed (85–90%), at a high areal rate (up to 2.9 g N m-2 d-1) while producing high protein U. lactuca (up to 44% dw) in all three stages, although with mediocre yields (up to 189 g fresh m-2 d-1). Performance of each seaweed biofilter pond correlated not with TAN concentration, but with areal TAN loads. The novel three-stage design provides significant functional and economic improvements in seaweed biofiltration of intensive fishpond water. 相似文献

Masson pine (Pinus massoniana L.) trees in the Pearl River Delta have shown growth decline since late 1980s, particularly those around industrially polluted
regions. As nitrogen is an important nutritional element composing functional proteins, structural proteins and photosynthetic
machinery, investigation on nitrogen allocation is helpful to understand nutrient alteration and its regulation mechanism
in response to pollution stress. Current year (C) and 1-year old needles (C + 1) of five mature trees were sampled in industrially
polluted site and unpolluted natural reserve for bioassay. Needles of declining trees had significantly higher leaf nitrogen
per unit area (NL) but lower photosynthetic capacity (P
max), which resulted in lower photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) than those of healthy trees. Nitrogen fraction to
the photosynthetic apparatus in the C and C + 1 needles at polluted site was 27 and 22%, significantly lower than the corresponding
healthy needles (48 and 32%). The content of structural proteins was positively correlated with NL in C and C + 1 needles. Moreover, the C and C + 1 needles of declining trees had about 1.8 times structural protein as those
of healthy trees, suggesting that more nitrogen allocation to structural protein are needed for stronger structural defenses
under polluted stress. Decreases in PNUE of declining pine trees could be partially explained by increases in structural protein
nitrogen. 相似文献

Controlled cultivation of marine macroalgal biomass such as Ulva species, notably Ulva lactuca, is currently studied for production of biofuels or functional food ingredients. In a eutrophic environment, this macrophyte
is exposed to varying types of nutrient supply, including different and fluctuating levels of nitrogen sources. Our understanding
of the influences of this varying condition on the uptake and growth responses of U. lactuca is limited. In this present work, we examined the growth response of U. lactuca exposed to different sources of nitrogen (NH4+; NO3−; and the combination NH4NO3) by using photo-scanning technology for monitoring the growth kinetics of U. lactuca. The images revealed differential increases of the surface area of U. lactuca disks with time in response to different N-nutrient enrichments. The results showed a favorable growth response to ammonium
as the nitrogen source. The NH4Cl and NaNO3 rich media (50 μM of N) accelerated U. lactuca growth to a maximum specific growth rate of 16.4 ± 0.18% day−1 and 9.4 ± 0.72% day−1, respectively. The highest biomass production rate obtained was 22.5 ± 0.24 mg DW m−2·day−1. The presence of ammonium apparently discriminated the nitrate uptake by U. lactuca when exposed to NH4NO3. Apart from showing the significant differential growth response of U. lactuca to different nitrogen sources, the work exhibits the applicability of a photo-scanning approach for acquiring precise quantitative
growth data for U. lactuca as exemplified by assessment of the growth response to two different N-sources. 相似文献

Changes induced on freshwater microalga Dictyosphaerium chlorelloides (Dcwt) acclimated in the laboratory until their survival in culture media enriched with cadmium 100 µM have been studied. Cadmium removal by living cells of this Cd-resistant (DcCdR100) strain was tested in cultures exposed to 100 µM Cd during 30 days. Cell dimensions were measured under light microscopy, and cell growth was studied. Photosynthetic yield (ΦPSII) was analyzed and the photosynthetic oxygen development and respiration response was obtained. Results show that DcCdR100 strain exhibited significant cell morphology changes in comparison to Dcwt cells, which affected both surface area and cell biovolume. Malthusian fitness analysis showed that DcCdR100 strain living in Cd-enriched culture had developed a lower capacity of nearly 50% growth, and its photosynthetic oxygen development and respiration response were significantly reduced in both light and dark photosynthetic phases. DcCdR100 strain showed a very high capacity to remove cadmium from the aquatic environment (over 90%), although most of the removed heavy metal (≈70%) is adhered to the cell wall. These specific characteristics of DcCdR100 cells suggest the possibility of using this strain in conjunction with Dcwt strain as bioelements into a dual-head biosensor, and in bioremediation processes on freshwater polluted with Cd. 相似文献

Annual plants transport a large portion of carbohydrates and nitrogenous compounds from leaves to seeds during the phase of
reproductive growth. This study aimed to clarify how reproductive growth affects photosynthetic traits in leaves and matter
transport within the plant in the annual herb Chenopodium album L. Plants were grown in pots and either reproductive tissues or axillary leaves were removed at anthesis. Matter transport
was evaluated as temporal changes in dry mass (as a substitute of carbohydrates) and nitrogen content of aboveground organs:
leaves, axillary leaves, stems and reproductive tissues. Photosynthetic capacity (light-saturated photosynthetic rate under
ambient CO2 concentration), nitrogen, chlorophyll and soluble protein content were followed in the 20th leaf that was mature at the start of the experiment. Removal of reproductive tissues resulted in accumulation of dry mass
in leaves and axillary leaves, and accumulation of nitrogen in stem as nitrogen resorption from leaves and axillary leaves
proceeded with time. Removal of axillary leaves proportionally reduced dry mass and nitrogen allocation to reproductive tissues,
thus affecting the quantity but not quality of seeds. Removal treatments did not alter the time course of photosynthetic capacity,
nitrogen, chlorophyll or soluble protein content during senescence in the 20th leaf, but changed the photosynthetic capacity per unit of leaf nitrogen according to demand from reproductive tissues. Together,
the results indicate that reproductive tissues affected carbon and nitrogen economy separately. The amount of carbon was adjusted
in leaves through photosynthetic capacity and carbohydrate export from them, and the amount of nitrogen was adjusted by transport
from stem to reproductive tissues. The plant’s ability to independently regulate carbon and nitrogen economy should be important
in natural habitats where the plant carbon-nitrogen balance can easily be disturbed by external factors. 相似文献

The seedlings of Acer mono Maxim. were exposed to two watering regimes (well watered (100% of field capacity) and drought (30% of field capacity)) and
two light levels (high light (100% of full sunlight) and low light (15% of full sunlight)) in a greenhouse to assess growth,
photosynthesis, and foliar nutrient traits of woody plants under drought and low light. Drought significantly reduced growth
and gas exchange characteristics of A. mono, including net photosynthetic rate (P
N), stomatal conductance (g
s), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), and photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE). Also, drought reduced relative water content (RWC) and foliar C and
N concentrations, but increased the C/N ratio. P
N and C concentration were lower under drought and low light than in any other treatment, indicating that deep shade might
seriously decrease C assimilation. However, the negative effect induced by drought was alleviated by improving RWC and maintaining
C balance, and therefore low-light seedlings accumulated more biomass than those under high light when they were exposed to
drought. Our results showed that trade-off and facilitation effects of drought and low light might be complementary and alter
in different species. 相似文献

Three legume tree species (Fabaceae) occurring abundantly in a semi-deciduous tropical dry forest of the Atlantic forest complex in southeastern Brazil were subjected to a comparative ecophysiological study at the end of the dry season/beginning of the wet season. The trees chosen were morphologically very similar: Caesalpinia echinata Lam. and Caesalpinia ferrea Mart. ex. Tul., both 10–20 m of height, of the sub-family Caesalpinioideae, and the somewhat smaller, 2–4 m tall, Machaerium obovatum Kuhlm. & Hoehne of the sub-family Faboideae. Despite their similarities with respect to their geographic distribution restricted to Brazilian dry forests, their comparable abundance in the study site and their phylogenetic proximity, the three species display distinctly different ecophysiological behaviour. Compared to the other two species, C. ferrea had the highest photosynthetic capacity (maximum apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate, ETRmax) and higher saturation light-intensity, was less subject to photoinhibition as indicated by potential quantum yield of photosystem II (F
v/F
m) and had the lowest bulk N content of which soluble non-protein N compounds were only 1.5%. It showed stronger sun plant characteristics. C. echinata had lower photosynthetic capacity, was under chronic photoinhibition and had high bulk N content of which 6.1% were soluble N compounds with high concentrations of proline. In addition to proline, high concentrations of sugars may serve as osmoprotectants. M. obovatum also showed lower photosynthetic capacity and was under chronic photoinhibition. Here, arginine may have a function as osmoprotectant. The ecophysiological differences between the three species are not related to local abundance. However, the observations presented highlight a contrasting behaviour of the otherwise very similar compatriot species. 相似文献

Summary Plant nutrient status and physiological processes were examined in relation to soil nutrient characteristics under individuals of five species colonizing a young cinder deposit in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Two exotic species, Buddeleja asiatica and Myrica faya, had high photosynthetic rates and high nitrogen concentrations and relatively easily decomposed leaves; soils under them had high concentrations of nitrogen, cations, and organic matter and high rates of net nitrogen mineralization. At the other extreme, the natives Metrosideros polymorpha and Vaccinium reticulatum had low plant concentrations and photosynthetic rates, and low concentrations and turnover rates of N in the soil. Thus, a strong correlation exists between soil processes and plant processes, suggesting a positive feedback cycle. 相似文献

Photosynthetic rates of aquatic macrophytes are affected by the diffusion of carbon through the boundary layer which decreases with increasing flow velocities. This is shown by a significant increase in photosynthetic rates of Ulva lactuca fronds exposed to friction velocities (u
*) between 0.0 and 0.3 cm s–1. No further increase in photosynthetic rates is observed at u
* values between 0.3 and 1.0 cm s–1. Stagnating flow conditions at saturating light levels caused a 29% reduction in photosynthetic rates. Experiments in a closed system indicate that Ulva may utilize internal carbon sources during periods of stagnation. On a subtidal rock directly exposed to wave action, Ulva lactuca is not exposed to such conditions while in a wave flushed intertidal pool stagnation occurs during very short time intervals based on in situ measurements of u
* levels on fronds of this species using a microprocessor-controlled, autonomous recorder and hot-film sensors. 相似文献

The photosynthetic efficiency and photoprotective capacity of the sea‐ice diatom, Fragilariopsis cylindrus (Grunow) W. Krieg., grown in a matrix of nitrogen repletion and depletion at two different temperatures (?1°C and +6°C) was investigated. Temperature showed no significant effect on photosynthetic efficiency or photoprotection in F. cylindrus. Cultures under nitrogen depletion showed enhanced photoprotective capacity with an increase in nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) when compared with nitrogen‐replete cultures. This phenomenon was achieved at no apparent cost to the photosynthetic efficiency of PSII (FV/FM). Nitrogen depletion yielded a partially reduced electron transport chain in which maximum fluorescence (FM) could only be obtained by adding 3‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)‐1,1‐dimethylurea (DCMU). reoxidation curves showed the presence of QB nonreducing PSII centers under nitrogen depletion. Fast induction curves (FICs) and electron transport rates (ETRs) revealed slowing of the electrons transferred from the primary (QA) to the secondary (QB) quinone electron acceptors of PSII. The data presented show that nitrogen depletion in F. cylindrus leads to the formation of QB nonreducing PSII centers within the photosystem. On a physiological level, the formation of QB nonreducing PSII centers in F. cylindrus provides the cell with protection against photoinhibition by facilitating the rapid induction of NPQ. This strategy provides an important ecological advantage, especially during the Antarctic spring, maintaining photosynthetic efficiency under high light and nutrient‐limiting conditions. 相似文献

Two native bacterial strains, FY1 and WZ2, that showed high chromium(VI)-reducing ability were respectively isolated from electroplating and tannery effluent–contaminated sites and identified as Bacillus and Arthrobacter. The objective of the present study was to evaluate their potential for future application in soil bioremediation. The results showed that both Bacillus sp. FY1 and Arthrobacter sp. WZ2 were tolerant to 1000 mg L?1 Cr(VI) and capable of reducing 78–85% and 75–82% of Cr(VI) (100–200 mg L?1) within 24 h, respectively. The Cr(VI) reduction rate decreased with increasing levels of Cr(VI) concentration (200–1000 mg L?1). The optimum pH, temperature, and inoculum concentration for Cr(VI) reduction were found to be between pH 7.0 and 8.0; 30 and 35°C; and 1 × 108 cells ml?1, respectively. Further evidence for the bioremediation potential of Bacillus sp. FY1 and Arthrobacter sp. WZ2 was provided by the high capacity to reduce 100, 200, and 500 mg kg?1 Cr(VI) in contaminated soil by 83–91%, 78–85%, and 71–78% within 7 days, respectively. These findings demonstrated the high potential of Bacillus sp. FY1 and Arthrobacter sp. WZ2 for application in future soil bioremediation. 相似文献

A simple consortium consisted of two members of Klebsiella sp. A1 and Comamonas sp. A2 was isolated from the sewage of a pesticide mill in China. One member of Klebsiella sp. A1 is a novel strain that could use atrazine as the sole carbon and nitrogen source. The consortium showed high atrazine-mineralizing
efficiency and about 83.3% of 5 g l−1 atrazine could be mineralized after 24 h degradation. Contrary to many other reported microorganisms, the consortium was
insensitive to some nitrogenous fertilizers commonly used, not only in presence of 200 mg l−1 atrazine but also in 5 g l−1 atrazine mediums. After 24 h incubation, 200 mg l−1 atrazine was completely mineralized despite of the presence of urea, (NH4)2CO3 and (NH4)2HPO4 in the medium. Very minor influence was observed when NH4Cl was added as additional nitrogen source. Advantages of the simple consortium, high mineralizing efficiency and insensitivity
to most of exogenous nitrogen sources, all suggested application potential of the consortium for the bioremediation of atrazine-contaminated
soils and waters. 相似文献

Summary A comparative study of blade photosynthesis and nitrogen use efficiency was made on the dune grasses Ammophila arenaria and Elymus mollis. In the laboratory, an open system gas analysis apparatus was used to examine the gas exchange characteristics of blades as influenced by nitrogen supply. Plants were grown under near-ambient coastal conditions in a greenhouse near Bodega Bay, California, and given either high or low supplies of nitrogen in an otherwise complete nutrient solution. In the field, 14CO2 uptake techniques were employed to measure the seasonal patterns of blade photosynthesis of plants growing in situ at Point Reyes National Seashore. Blades used in the lab and field studies were analyzed for total nitrogen content, thus allowing for calculations of photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (CO2 fixed/unit of blade N.).Under laboratory conditions, the introduced Ammophila developed higher rates of light-saturated photosynthesis than the native Elymus, especially under the nitrogenlimited growth regime. Higher rates of photosynthesis and lower concentrations of blade N resulted in a significantly greater nitrogen use efficiency for Ammophila regardless of nutrient treatment. Low N availability induced qualitatively similar physiological responses in both species, including reductions in maximum net photosynthesis, mesophyll conductance, leaf conductance, dark respiration, and blade nitrogen content, and an increase in the CO2 compensation point.Although the photosynthetic rates of Ammophila blades were higher in the lab, those of Elymus blades were consistently higher in the field. This could have resulted from differential effects of drought on the two species (i.e. Ammophila may have been more sensitive) or a higher photosynthetic capacity in Elymus that reflected the greater (1.2–1.5 X) nitrogen content of its blades. However, the nitrogen use efficiency of Ammophila blades was greater than that of Elymus throughout most of the sampling year, despite lower average rates of field photosynthesis.The results indicated that rates of photosynthesis perunit of blade area do not account for the greater aboveground productivity of Ammophila stands along the Pacific coast of North America. Instead, efficient nitrogen use in photosynthesis maycomplement other structural and physiological traits and thereby enhance long-term carbon gain in Ammophila relative to Elymus. 相似文献
