马尾松诱导化学物质变化的时空动态

研究了受害程度不同的马尾松针叶内诱导化学物质在时间序列上的变化和局部受害后空间序列上的变化。结果发现：受害马尾松针叶内次生代谢物质（单宁、酚类物质）含量随时间的变化而不断上下波动,先增加,后逐渐降低,恢复到原来的水平;营养物质（可溶性糖）含量先降低,后逐渐恢复到原来水平。反映了马尾松受害后的应激反应是一种快速、间断、被调节的过程。危害程度的强调对马尾松诱导化学物质的变化有一定的影响。中度的危害（针叶损失50％）所诱导产生的次生物质最多,轻度（针叶损失25％）或重度（针叶损失75％）的危害所诱导产生的次生代谢物质较低。以7年生（共5个轮枝）的马尾松作为实验材料,对第3轮枝进行剪叶75％,在空间序列上,观察其余各轮枝松针内化学物质的变化。发现第3轮枝受害后马尾松其余各轮针叶内也产生诱导化学物质含量变化,并且因轮枝部位的不同,其诱导产生的变化也不相同。说明松针所产生的诱导化学物质含量的变化是全株性的、异质性的。     

松材线虫入侵后不同伐倒干扰强度对马尾松林植物多样性的影响

以松材线虫入侵马尾松林后经过不同伐倒干扰强度经营形成的不同群落类型作为研究对象,对9个群落类型的物种多样性进行了研究.结果表明,乔木层物种多样性指数大小排列顺序为: 马尾松纯林受害皆伐后形成的阔叶林(富阳)＞轻度受害的马尾松 木荷混交林(富阳)＞对照＞轻度受害的马尾松 纯林(富阳)＞马尾松 栓皮栎混交林受害择伐后形成的栓皮栎林(舟山)＞马尾松纯林受害皆伐后形成的马尾松幼龄林(富阳)＞马尾松纯林受害择伐后形成的枫香林(舟山)＞受害的黑松 马尾松混交林(舟山)＞受害的马尾松纯林(舟山).灌木层舟山马尾松纯林的3种多样性指数均最低,其余各地相差不大.草本层马尾松幼树纯林、栓皮栎林和枫香林的3个指数较高.不同地理位置和不同受害程度的马尾松林植物多样性差异显著;不同干扰程度、不同恢复方式下马尾松林内的植物多样性差异也显著.建立了伐倒干扰强度指数,发现物种多样性指数随伐倒干扰强度指数的变化规律符合“中间高度膨胀”理论.协方差分析结果表明,所建的指数能有效地反映松材线虫入侵及病木伐除后马尾松林植物多样性的变化.     

马尾松受害诱导的化学物质滞后变化

通过接种马尾松毛虫Dendrolimus punctatus和人工剪叶,分析比较了不同受害方式对马尾松针叶内化学物质的影响。结果表明,害虫取食松针诱导的次生代谢物质(单宁、酚类物质)比人工剪叶处理略有增加,而营养物质-可溶性糖变化不大。对马尾松进行害虫取食为害、人工剪叶受害、未受害三种处理后,连续3年跟踪测定了松针叶内化学物质含量的变化。结果发现,无论是害虫取食为害,还是人工剪叶受害,针叶内次生代谢物质含量都减少,可溶性糖含量降低,直至一年后才恢复到原有的水平;蛋白质变化的趋势则始终是受害处理的含量比未受害处理的含量高,表明马尾松受害后诱导的化学物质变化具有滞后特性。     

松突圆蚧为害对马尾松针叶主要次生物质的影响

对受松突圆蚧不同程度为害的马尾松针叶主要次生物质的测定表明,不同受害程度的马尾松与其针叶内的次生物质含量呈显著的相关性。黄酮、单宁和总酚含量随着为害程度的加重而发生变化,先增加,后降低,这说明了受害程度的强弱对马尾松诱导化学物质变化有影响,次生代谢物质的合成需要消耗能量和物质,影响主要代谢。这是被害松树针叶枯黄、枝干枯死直至植株枯死的原因之一。     

松材线虫(Bursaphelenchus xylophilus)入侵对马尾松(Pinus massoniana)林分生长的影响及相关生长模型

松材线虫（Bursaphelenchus xylophilus）是一种松树上发生严重的有害生物,它不仅改变了生态系统的结构和功能,而且改变了系统内生物的原有特性和地理分布。松材线虫及其引起的松树萎蔫病已对中国马尾松林（Pinus massoniana）的树木成长产生了巨大影响。基于此,使用＂每木调查法＂和＂样方法＂,对松材线虫入侵后的马尾松林内松树的各项生长指标因子进行了调查分析,其结果表明：自松材线虫1996年入侵所调查地区的松林后,对于受害松树不管是伐倒木（被伐倒）还是倒木（自然倒地）,其对周围马尾松胸径生长的影响是显著的,而对树高生长的影响不显著。最后建立了一系列的灰色和灰色-马尔可夫链数学模型,其预测结果精度高,可用于今后受害和未受害区马尾松林分因子的生长预测。     

萧氏松茎象危害与松树松脂量关系研究初报

萧氏松茎象HylobitelusxiaoiZhang是近年来暴发性松树害虫 ,主要危害 3种松树 :湿地松 (PinuselliottiiEngelm)、火炬松 (P .taeda)、马尾松 (P .massoniaanaLamb) ,其中以湿地松受害最为严重。为明确萧氏松茎象的危害与松脂流量的关系 ,作者对萧氏松茎象危害前后 3种松树 (湿地松、马尾松、火炬松 )松脂流量变化进行了研究。结果显示 ,在松树受害植株和未受害植株间松脂总流量间存在一定差异 ,其中以马尾松松脂流量变化最大 ,对受害株和未受害株松脂流量t-测验 ,差异达到显著水平 ;而湿地松和火炬松松脂总流量在受害植株和未受害植株间没有显著差异。对上述 3种松树松脂流量随时序动态变化的分析显示 ,松脂流量在 1年中以 5月到 6月之间为松脂流量高峰期 ,此后逐渐下降 ,到 3月中旬以后松脂流量又开始上升。就松脂流量时序动态而言 ,萧氏松茎象为害对马尾松松脂流量影响最大 ,对其它2个松树影响不明显。另外 ,不同松树树种在松脂流量及其时序动态上也存在一定差异 ,其中以马尾松脂流量较高。     

不同干扰模式对受害马尾松人工纯林林分结构的影响

在浙江安吉选择松材线虫病危害的马尾松人工纯林,分别进行暂不采伐直至10年后统一伐除受害木的集中干扰、采伐受害松木的适度干扰、采伐受害松木与周边松木及生长势弱松木的强度干扰,探讨不同干扰模式使受害马尾松林恢复健康的可能性.16年后的试验结果表明: 3种模式下受害林分马尾松的重要值为集中干扰>适度干扰>强度干扰,阔叶树的重要值则正好相反;与集中干扰相比,适度和强度干扰后的马尾松、阔叶树的平均胸径分别提高1.2、1.7倍和1.3、1.9倍,平均树高分别提高了1.5、2.0倍和1.2、1.8倍,林分每公顷蓄积量分别是集中干扰样地的5.2和3.8倍;适度和强度干扰的各径阶株数均远高于集中干扰样地,胸径结构近似于反J型曲线,也形成了复层林,物种丰富度和多样性指数均显著高于集中干扰样地,林木个体差异及林分复杂性指数均表现为适度干扰>强度干扰>集中干扰.适度和强度干扰下单层马尾松同龄纯林均演替为复层马尾松-阔叶树混交异龄林.3种模式均是正向阔叶化演替,演替速度为强度干扰>适度干扰>集中干扰.表明适度干扰更有利于病害马尾松林分恢复,间伐马尾松纯林能加快阔叶混交化进程以抵御松材线虫病的入侵.     

北亚热带生长期温度对马尾松径向生长的影响

近几十年由于温度升高导致的植物生长期的延长已经得到了证实,虽然生长期的长短变化会引起树木生产力变化,但不同起始温度的生长期对树木径向生长的影响尚不明确.为了探索不同起始温度的生长期变化对马尾松生长的影响,找出马尾松生长的敏感温度,本研究选择北亚热带西北边缘汉中地区的老龄马尾松为对象,应用树木年轮学的方法得到了马尾松从1945年到2009年的年轮宽度指数;同时利用汉中气象站的日均温度,计算每一年不同温度的初日、终日、持续时间以及生长期活动积温;分析生长期的变化规律和不同温度生长期对马尾松生长的影响.结果表明:6.0℃-7.5℃的开始时间对年轮宽度有负影响,6.0℃的初日对马尾松的生长最明显,10.5℃的终日时间对生长有显著促进作用;10.0℃和10.5℃的生长期与马尾松生长正相关最为显著,生长期活动积温对生长的影响也较为显著.这些敏感温度分别对应马尾松春季开始萌动、针叶出现以及秋季形成层活动停止时的温度,说明温度的变化导致物候期的变化进而影响植物的年生长量.     

不同抗性马尾松针叶中营养物质含量与对松突圆蚧抗性关系的判别分析

为了探讨马尾松Pinus massoniana针叶营养物质含量与其对松突圆蚧Hemiberlesia pitysophila Takagi抗性的关系, 选择了不同抗性的10个马尾松家系, 分别测定未受松突圆蚧危害植株与受害植株针叶中可溶性糖、 总糖、 可溶性蛋白、 全N、 游离氨基酸、 粗脂肪等营养物质的含量和总糖/全N等7个指标, 并采用判别分析法分析这7个指标与马尾松家系对松突圆蚧抗性的关系。结果表明：马尾松家系不论是否受松突圆蚧的危害,能明显区别抗性组别的指标都是可溶性蛋白（X₃）、全N（X₄）和游离氨基酸总量（X₇）,随抗性的降低, 它们的含量呈上升趋势, 受害植株中上述3个指标的含量低于未受害植株; 受害后, 各指标变化量中能明显区别抗性组别的是全N（X₄）, 随着植株抗性的降低, 针叶中的可溶性蛋白（X₃）、全N（X₄）和游离氨基酸总量（X₇）的含量变化量减小。据此得出：（1）可溶性蛋白（X₃）、全N（X₄）和游离氨基酸总量（X₇）是与抗性关系最密切的指标, 含量与抗性呈负相关关系,变化量与抗性呈正相关关系;（2）受到危害后, 无论含量或变化量, 7个指标都发生了重要变化, 都表现出与抗性的相关性, 构成了有效判别函数的组成变量;（3）因判别分析方法可以分析各指标的综合作用, 应用该方法分析各营养成分与马尾松对松突圆蚧抗性的关系, 比用方差分析和多重比较方法更有优越性。上述研究结果为抗松突圆蚧马尾松家系的选育及其抗性机理的深入研究, 提供了重要的科学参考价值。     

马尾松和黄山松疱锈病病原及转主的研究

<正> 马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)和黄山松(P.hwangshanensis Hsia)疱锈病是皖西大别山区二针松枝干上的重要病害。早在五十年代末期就已于黄山地区的马尾松幼林内发现,近十年来又先后在霍山、金寨、岳西、太湖等县的马尾松和黄山松幼林中连续发生。发病率一般为5%左右,最高的达30%以上。有些受害严重的幼林,不得不全部伐除,并更换其他造林树种,因此给林业生产酿成了很大的损失。作者自1988—1990年在金寨、岳西等县对上述疱锈病病原及转主寄主进行了调查研究,现将     

Comparison of whole wood and cellulose carbon and oxygen isotope series from Pinus nigra ssp. laricio (Corsica/France)

Stable isotopes in tree rings have widely been used for palaeoclimate reconstructions since tree rings record climatic information at annual resolution. However, various wood components or different parts of an annual tree-ring may differ in their isotopic compositions. Thus, sample preparation and subsequent laboratory analysis are crucial for the isotopic signal retained in the final tree-ring isotope series used for climate reconstruction and must therefore be considered for the interpretation of isotope–climate relationships. This study focuses on wood of Corsican Pine trees (Pinus nigra ssp. laricio) as this tree species allows to reconstruct the long-term climate evolution in the western Mediterranean. In a pilot study, we concentrated on methodological issues of sample preparation techniques in order to evaluate isotope records measured on pooled whole tree-ring cellulose and whole tree-ring bulk wood samples. We analysed 80-year long carbon and oxygen chronologies of Corsican Pine trees growing near the upper tree line on Corsica. Carbon and oxygen isotope records of whole tree-ring bulk wood and whole tree-ring cellulose from a pooled sample of 5 trees were correlated with the climate parameters monthly precipitation, temperature and the self-calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (sc-PDSI). Results show that the offsets in carbon and oxygen isotopes of bulk wood and cellulose are not constant over time. Both isotopes correlate with climate parameters from late winter and summer. The carbon and oxygen isotope ratios of cellulose are more sensitive to climatic variables than those of bulk wood. The results of this study imply that extraction of cellulose is a pre-requisite for the reconstruction of high-resolution climate records from stable isotope series of P. nigra ssp. laricio.     

Elevated atmospheric CO2 alters wood production, wood quality and wood strength of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L) after three years of enrichment

Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) trees were grown in open top chambers for three years under ambient and elevated CO₂ concentrations. The trees were aged 3 y at the beginning of the CO₂ exposure, and the effects of the treatment on total stem volume, stem wood biomass, wood quality and wood anatomy were examined at the end of the exposure. The elevated CO₂ treatment lead to a 49% and 38% increase in stem biomass and stem wood volume, respectively. However, no significant effects of the elevated CO₂ treatment on wood density were observed, neither when green wood density was estimated from stem biomass and stem volume, nor when oven-dry wood density was measured on small wood samples. Under elevated CO₂ significantly wider growth rings were observed. The effect of elevated CO₂ on growth ring width was primarily the result of an increase in earlywood width. Wood compression strength decreased under elevated CO₂ conditions, which could be explained by significantly larger tracheids and the increased earlywood band, that has thinner walls and larger cavities. A significant decrease of the number of resin canals in the third growth ring was observed under the elevated treatment; this might indicate that trees produced and contained less resin, which has implications for disease and pest resistance. So, although wood volume yield in Scots pine increased significantly with elevated CO₂ after three years of treatment, wood density remained unchanged, while wood strength decreased. Whilst wood volume and stem biomass production may increase in this major boreal forest tree species, wood quality and resin production might decrease under future elevated CO₂ conditions.     

Hazard ratings of pine forests to a pine wilt disease at two spatial scales (individual trees and stands) using self-organizing map and random forest

Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by the pine wood nematode is the most serious global threat to pine forests. Hazard ratings of trees and forests to pest attacks provide important information to efficiently identify current or future hazardous conditions. However, in spite of the importance of hazard ratings for managing PWD, there are few studies on hazard ratings in this system. In this study, we evaluated the hazard ratings of pine trees and pine stands to PWD by considering environmental factors at the level of the stand and the individual tree. Our results showed that trees with larger diameter at breast height (DBH) showed a higher risk rate than those with smaller DBH, indicating that large trees have an increased probability of exposure to vector beetles because they are tall and have a large crown volume. We also found that reduced tree vigour could be related to susceptibility to PWD. In pine stands, geographical factors showed a high correlation with the occurrence of PWD. PWD occurrence was rare at high altitudes, but was more common on steep and south-facing slopes. These patterns were consistently observed in the results from 2 computational approaches: self-organizing map (SOM) and random forest models. The combination of SOM and random forest was effective to extract ecological information from the dataset. The SOM efficiently characterized relations among variables, and the random forest model was effective at predicting ecological variables, including the hazard rating of trees to disturbances.     

Estimation of forest-stand net primary productivity using fraction phytomass distribution model

Methods for assessing the primary productivity of the forest stands between various tree species in different environmental conditions are considered. Methods for the primary productivity assessment using data on the phytomass fractions and stand wood stock have been proposed. It is shown that the Zipf-Pareto equation of the relationship between the phytomass of some tree fractions in the stand can be used for a primary productivity estimation of the stock volume. A model analogous to R. Solow’s macroeconomic model has been proposed to describe the processes of the phytomass growth in the forest stand.     

THE STUDY OF THE ECONOMIC THRESHOLD OF TOMICUS PINIPERDA (COLEOPTERA: SCOLYTIDEA) ON YUNNAN PINE

Abstract By careful and long period field investigation of the population density of Tomicus piniperda L. and the growth of Yunnan pine ( Pinus yunnanensis French.), and improved regression analysis, the economic threshold of Tomicus piniperda on Yunnan pine is determined: When the death rate of the trees is not more than 0.52%, the natural control factors can prevent the density of the bark beetle from increasing and no control measure is needed. When the death rate of the trees reaches 0.5%, the corresponding rate of shoots attacked is 0.61% and the mean of invading holes per tree 0.66, the cost for control is equal to the economic loss saved. So, considering both the economic justification and the prevention of the pest density from increasing, when the death rate of the trees is more than 0.5%, the corresponding rate of shoots attacked more than 0.61% and the mean of invading holes per tree more than 0.66, control measure should be taken. The paper also gives formulae for different Yunnan pine forest areas to calculate their own economic threshold according to their special situations.     

为害云南松的纵坑切梢小蠹 (Tomicus piniperda)经济阈值的研究(英文)

STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF HARDWOOD SWAMPS IN THE NEW JERSEY PINE BARRENS: CONTRASTING PATTERNS IN TREES AND SHRUBS

The biomass, density, age structure, and dominance patterns of the tree and shrub populations in hardwood swamps of the New Jersey Pine Barrens are described and contrasted with each other. The total biomass of individual swamps ranges from 92,000 kg/ha to 194,000 kg/ha, depending on the age of the stand. These biomass values are similar to those reported for southern hardwood swamps. The Pine Barrens swamps are distinguished by very large populations of ericaceous and other shrubs, which range up to 13% of the total above-ground biomass. The tree populations, composed principally of Acer rubrum, Nyssa sylvatica and Magnolia virginiana, are even-aged; Acer is strongly dominating, with a minimum of 73% of the biomass, and species richness is associated with the availability of different microhabitats. The shrub populations, by contrast, are all-aged, with the dominance patterns among the species and the stand biomasses varying with the degree of flooding of the stand. Differences in size and growth rate among the shrub species parallel their evident response to the flooding gradient. The shrub stratum has lower species richness than the comparable southern swamps and floodplains, but ranges up to higher biomass values.     

Potential hosts of Prostephanus truncatus (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) among native and agroforestry trees in Kenya

This study was carried out to establish the extent to which an invasive stored products pest, Prostephanus truncatus Horn exploits wood as a feeding and breeding resource in Kenya. Twenty seven out of 84 native and agroforestry trees and shrubs supported the breeding of P. truncatus under laboratory conditions. Adult survival (<1% to 18%) for 8 weeks was recorded on 51 tree species that did not support breeding. The breeding success of this beetle varied widely between host tree species and showed no obvious trends based on tree systematics or wood hardness. Studies of P. truncatus survival on two host tree species found that the greatest increase in the P. truncatus population occurred on stem sapwood, whilst the smallest population increase was on twigs. Breeding also varied greatly from season to season; studies on ten selected host species showed that reproduction was often greatest in wood samples collected and tested during the dry season in September. The implications of these findings for the management of P. truncatus infestations in farm stored maize are discussed.
