小叶锦鸡儿幼苗对沙埋的生态适应和生理响应

以中国半干旱地区固定、半固定沙地分布最广泛的灌木种之一小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla)为对象,于2010～2011年在内蒙古科尔沁沙地测定了不同深度沙埋下其幼苗的存活率、株高、渗透调节物质含量、保护酶活性和膜透性变化,探讨小叶锦鸡儿对沙埋的生理响应特征。结果显示:(1)与对照相比,当沙埋深度为小叶锦鸡儿幼苗株高的25%～75%时,存活率差异不显著;当沙埋深度为50%～75%时其存活率增加,但株高明显下降,沙埋对其生长具有抑制作用;当沙埋达到其株高100%时幼苗全部死亡。(2)不同沙埋深度对小叶锦鸡儿幼苗叶片细胞膜透性无显著影响,对沙埋深度为其株高25%时,叶片含水量增加,MDA含量下降,POD活性增强,细胞膜未受到伤害;沙埋深度为其株高50%～75%时,叶片含水量下降,MDA含量增加,但SOD和POD对细胞膜起到了协同保护作用,细胞膜也未受到损伤;沙埋深度为株高25%～75%情况下,细胞膜未受到损伤,可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量变化不明显。研究认为:小叶锦鸡儿幼苗只能耐受部分沙埋,完全沙埋则会导致其幼苗全部死亡,沙埋胁迫下可溶性糖和脯氨酸等渗透调节物质含量反应迟缓可能是其耐沙埋能力较弱的主要生理原因之一。     

水蚀风蚀交错区柠条锦鸡儿叶片比叶面积和营养元素变化动态

通过对黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错区主要生长月份柠条锦鸡儿(Caragana korshinlii Kom.)叶片比叶面积(SLA)和矿质元素含量的测定,探讨其对生境条件及生长时间的响应规律,结果表明:不同生境柠条锦鸡儿叶片SLA随生长月份的变化趋势基本一致,但变化差异不显著;不同生境叶片有机碳(C)含量变化差异不显著;叶片全氮(N)含量、全钾(K)含量对生长月份的变化响应明显,变异幅度较大,而随生境条件发生的变异较小;叶片全磷(P)含量在不同生境随着生长月份发生的变异较大。不同生境叶片N/P随月份发生的变异较大、C/P的变异较小;叶片C/N、C/K在不同生境间无明显差异,但均随生长月份而产生较大变化,叶片N、P、K的含量与SLA相关性不明显。所以,生境条件和生长时间是柠条锦鸡儿叶片结构特性和养分组成发生变化的重要原因,其叶片比叶面积与矿质养分含量受外界环境因子和自身发育状况的共同调控。

Responses of Etiella zinckenella to habitat fragmentation of Caraganas in desert steppe in Ningxia, China

Habitat fragmentation is a common cause for which species becomes threatened or endangered. Existence of viable habitat is critical to the survival of any species, so habitat fragmentation is the main reason for the changes in distribution and abundance of organisms, and is usually considered to have negative effect on the abundance, species richness and population of organisms in a specific landscape. But this effect may also depend on whether some species could use one or more types of habitat in a specific landscape. Because of its well resistance to stress, Caragana is one of predominant shrub in desert region for forest planting and desert preventing, which plays a critical role in desert control and ecosystem stabilization. Baijitan National Nature Reserve, located in Lingwu County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, is typical of desert nature reserve in which the Caragana spp., Oxytropis aciphylla and other desert plants are protected. The Caragana woodlands in this region show a pattern of dots, patches and strips separated by natural and cultivated forest, thereby leading to a typical fragmented landscape. Etiella zinckenella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) is one of seed pests of Caragana. In order to illuminate the responses of E. zinckenella to the habitat fragmentation of Caraganas woodlands, the present study focused on the effects of habitat area, habitat fragmentation, as well as matrix composition on the population density and damage ratio of E. zinckenella in desert steppe. From May 2008 to June 2009, by using parallel jump sampling method, 13 Caragana woodland patches representing four landscapes from Baijitan National Nature Reserve were investigated and totally 15,117 pods were inspected. Then, the landscape fragmentation indices, population density and damage ratio of E. zinckenella in Caragana woodlands were calculated. The statistic analysis of the data indicated that the four landscapes have a significant difference in the population density and damage ratio of E. zinckenella; and in the same landscape, the neighbor patches also have a significant difference in the damage ratios of E. zinckenella. E. zinckenella seems to prefer some species of Caragana, for instance, the damage ratio of E. zinckenella to Caragana microphylla is found the highest, followed by the damage ratio to Caragana davazamcidamage, while the damage ratio to Caragana korshinskii is found the lowest. The coverage of Caragana is found positively related to the damage ratio of E. zinckenella with hinge damage ratio in high coverage of Caragana forest. The regression analysis shows that the latitude (R_s = 0.5724), longitude (R_s = 0.5577), altitude (R_s = 0.4614) and patch area (R = 0.3012) were not significantly associated with population density and damage ratio of E. zinckenella. However, the population density and damage ratio of E. zinckenella decreased with the increasing in patch area. The landscape patch fragmentation index (R = 0.91129) and the patch density index (R = 0.89864) show a positive correlation with damage ratio. The fragmentation shape index (R = ?0.89675) and inside habitat area fragmentation index (R = ?0.77646) show a negative correlation with the damage ratio. As a result, the population of E. zinckenella was suppressed by the landscape fragmentation, but the patch isolation and complementary resources in the landscape matrix may also have a positive impact on the population density of E. zinckenella.     

小叶锦鸡儿根际微生物群落功能多样性对环境变化的响应

利用Biolog技术对内蒙古草原灌丛优势种小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla)根际土壤微生物群落功能多样性特征及其对大气CO2浓度、土壤氮水平和土壤水分3个环境因子变化的响应进行了研究。结果表明:(1)小叶锦鸡儿根际土壤微生物利用碳源总量在整个培养过程中呈逐渐增加的趋势。其利用比例较高的碳源类型为聚合物、糖类和氨基酸。(2)主成分分析表明,8个处理组的微生物群落功能多样性差异显著,其中与主成分1显著相关的碳源有14种,分别属于聚合物、糖类、氨基酸和羧酸。(3)加倍CO2浓度极显著提高平均颜色变化率(AWCD)以及丰富度指数和Shannon均匀度。(4)氮素添加使AWCD、丰富度指数和Shannon均匀度均极显著降低,其抑制效应在加倍CO2浓度时有所缓解。(5)加水处理对上述指标均有一定的促进作用,但是差异未达显著水平。(6)加倍CO2浓度和氮素添加联合处理下,小叶锦鸡儿根际微生物活性高于对照处理,说明加倍CO2浓度对微生物活性的促进效应强于添加氮素的抑制效应。(7)CO2和氮素对上述指标有交互作用。综上所述,小叶锦鸡儿根际土壤微生物群落的功能在很大程度上受到外界环境因子的影响,对环境变化较敏感的碳源类型为聚合物、糖类、氨基酸和羧酸,与利用比例较高的碳源类型基本一致。

锦鸡儿属花粉形态及其分类意义

在光学显微镜和扫锚电镜下对锦鸡儿属31种2变种植物花粉形态进行了观察。根据外壁表面纹饰,可分：类型I,表面具小穿孔;类型II, 具网状纹饰。 在类型II中据网眼大小和网脊宽度特征又分为两个亚类型。 根据花粉体积大小,可分4个类型。本属植物花粉形态较为一致,表明是一个自然类群。组、 系的花粉形态特征与一般形态变异不一定相对应,即形态上有明显区别的种类,在花粉形态上未必有很大区别,仅一些种类及矮锦鸡儿系 Ser. Pygmaeae的花粉形态相近。 本属花粉形态在种下等级的变异, 特别是青藏高原分布的种类的变异较为明显,例如 C.bicolor,C. jubata,C. erinacea 与各自的近缘种类。花粉形态为分类处理提供了参考。本属植物花粉形态是从表面具小穿孔向具网状纹饰演化,对应于羽状叶类群向掌状叶类群演化。

利用生态位适宜度理论建立了沙坡头人工植被防护林体系无灌溉条件下,两种固沙植物油蒿(Artemisia ordosica Krasch．)和柠条(Caragana korshinskii Kom．)的水分生态位适宜度模型。并据此分析比较在5种不同配置格局下,在不同的降水量年份,这两种植物的水分利用状况。主要结论如下：不论在生长季总降水量为80.63mm的1991年还是在降水量大一倍的1993年,单播下油蒿的水分生态位适宜度均大于混播下的适宜度,且在7月份均有一个水分极其匮乏期;单播下柠条的水分生态位适宜度均小于混播下的适宜度;单播的3种格局中,以2m×2m的株距和行距(即样地1,3)为最佳,混播的两种格局以1m×1m的株距和行距,且按2行油蒿×2行柠条,中间空一行的方式配置(即样地5)为最佳。最后,对两个种生长过程中水分利用的一些特性进行了探讨。
