福建长汀重建植被马尾松与木荷光合特性比较

比较了福建长汀水土流失区重建植被措施治理后,2个不同恢复程度生境中的马尾松(Pinus massoniana)与木荷(Schima superba)光合特性季节变化及日进程,结果表明:(1)马尾松净光合速率(Pn)具有明显的季节变化特征,其中恢复程度较低生境(样地Ⅰ)马尾松Pn最大值出现在秋季,恢复程度较高生境(样地Ⅱ)马尾松Pn春季最大,秋季次之;样地Ⅱ马尾松Pn日均值冬季显著低于样地Ⅰ(P<0.05),春季极显著高于样地Ⅰ(P<0.01),反映出样地Ⅱ马尾松抵御低温胁迫的能力强于样地Ⅰ马尾松.(2)样地Ⅰ和样地Ⅱ木荷Pn季节变化趋势一致,最大值均出现在夏季,且样地Ⅱ木荷Pn高于样地Ⅰ;此外,样地Ⅱ木荷Pn秋季仍维持在较高水平.说明重建植被措施治理后,木荷在恢复程度较高生境中生长良好.(3)根据气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度和气孔限制值的变化方向判断,夏季和秋季样地Ⅰ马尾松与木荷Pn主要受气孔因素影响,8:00后呈缓慢下降趋势,显示在长期较为恶劣的生境条件下,马尾松与木荷已形成一种趋同的生理生态适应机制,即通过气孔调节限制蒸腾失水,但这种适应是以降低光合速率为代价的,这也是样地Ⅰ马尾松与木荷生长缓慢的一个重要原因.(4)同一生境,木荷Pn与蒸腾速率(Tr)均明显高于马尾松,尤其样地Ⅱ2树种间的差异更显著,表明重建植被措施实施后,生态恢复程度较高生境中,木荷生长、竞争优势强于马尾松.     

Carbon cycle responses of semi‐arid ecosystems to positive asymmetry in rainfall

Recent evidence shows that warm semi‐arid ecosystems are playing a disproportionate role in the interannual variability and greening trend of the global carbon cycle given their mean lower productivity when compared with other biomes (Ahlström et al. 2015 Science, 348, 895). Using multiple observations (land‐atmosphere fluxes, biomass, streamflow and remotely sensed vegetation cover) and two state‐of‐the‐art biospheric models, we show that climate variability and extremes lead to positive or negative responses in the biosphere, depending on vegetation type. We find Australia to be a global hot spot for variability, with semi‐arid ecosystems in that country exhibiting increased carbon uptake due to both asymmetry in the interannual distribution of rainfall (extrinsic forcing), and asymmetry in the response of gross primary production (GPP) to rainfall change (intrinsic response). The latter is attributable to the pulse‐response behaviour of the drought‐adapted biota of these systems, a response that is estimated to be as much as half of that from the CO₂ fertilization effect during 1990–2013. Mesic ecosystems, lacking drought‐adapted species, did not show an intrinsic asymmetric response. Our findings suggest that a future more variable climate will induce large but contrasting ecosystem responses, differing among biomes globally, independent of changes in mean precipitation alone. The most significant changes are occurring in the extensive arid and semi‐arid regions, and we suggest that the reported increased carbon uptake in response to asymmetric responses might be contributing to the observed greening trends there.     

Terrestrial biosphere models need better representation of vegetation phenology: results from the North American Carbon Program Site Synthesis

Phenology, by controlling the seasonal activity of vegetation on the land surface, plays a fundamental role in regulating photosynthesis and other ecosystem processes, as well as competitive interactions and feedbacks to the climate system. We conducted an analysis to evaluate the representation of phenology, and the associated seasonality of ecosystem‐scale CO₂ exchange, in 14 models participating in the North American Carbon Program Site Synthesis. Model predictions were evaluated using long‐term measurements (emphasizing the period 2000–2006) from 10 forested sites within the AmeriFlux and Fluxnet‐Canada networks. In deciduous forests, almost all models consistently predicted that the growing season started earlier, and ended later, than was actually observed; biases of 2 weeks or more were typical. For these sites, most models were also unable to explain more than a small fraction of the observed interannual variability in phenological transition dates. Finally, for deciduous forests, misrepresentation of the seasonal cycle resulted in over‐prediction of gross ecosystem photosynthesis by +160 ± 145 g C m^?2 yr^?1 during the spring transition period and +75 ± 130 g C m^?2 yr^?1 during the autumn transition period (13% and 8% annual productivity, respectively) compensating for the tendency of most models to under‐predict the magnitude of peak summertime photosynthetic rates. Models did a better job of predicting the seasonality of CO₂ exchange for evergreen forests. These results highlight the need for improved understanding of the environmental controls on vegetation phenology and incorporation of this knowledge into better phenological models. Existing models are unlikely to predict future responses of phenology to climate change accurately and therefore will misrepresent the seasonality and interannual variability of key biosphere–atmosphere feedbacks and interactions in coupled global climate models.     

深圳河口泥滩三种多毛类的数量季节变化及污染影响

在深圳河治理工程环境影响评估研究中,将1995年7月至1998年月在3个断面获得的3种多毛类的数量进行分析,得出深圳河口泥滩A断面和RB断面的小头虫有明显的季节变化,即冬季数量较其他季节高,秋季数量较其他季节低,ET断面的小头虫数量没有明显的季节变化,RB断面寡鳃齿吻沙蚕数量随时间推移有增加的趋势,与有机质含量的变化是相似的,寡鳃齿吻沙蚕和独毛虫的水平分布明显受盐度限制,盐度较低的ET断面寡鳃齿吻沙蚕数量较盐度较高的A断面和RB断面的低,独毛虫没有分布到ET断面,A断面的独毛虫在养猪场废水注入时大量繁殖,文中探讨了溶解氧和有机质含量与3种小个体多毛类数量的关系。     

西双版纳热带季节雨林内雾特征研究

 利用4年（1999～2002）的雾观测资料,对西双版纳热带季节雨林内雾特征进行了观测研究。结果表明,雾首先形成于最上林冠层,林下雾是由上层雾变浓、下沉而来。夜间,雾形成前,气温高于叶表温;雾形成后,气温则低于叶表温。热带雨林内各季节雾日数和雾日频率均高于无林地。热带雨林内平均全年雾日数可达258 d,其中雾季和干热季共占154 d（59.6%）,而雾季的雾日频率高达90%。雾日数的季节变化与各季节雨量呈明显的负相关。雾季,雾在23∶00左右生成,比干热季、雨季分别提前0.7、2.3 h,而消散时间则分别推迟0.8、2.2 h。雾生成和消散时间呈现出较明显的负相关。雾季雾的持续时间达12.2 h·d-1,比干热季、雨季分别长1.5、4.6 h·d-1。全年雾总持续时间占全年时间的39.7%,而雾季的相应值为50.8%。雾的形成不仅凝结了水汽进入森林（全年89.4 mm）,同时也对森林起到了一定的保温作用,这对热带雨林的生存和发展具有至关重要的作用。     

水盾草入侵沉水植物群落的季节动态

水盾草(cabomba caroliniana)是原产美国和南美巴西等地的多年生植物。自1993年作为新记录报道以来,在中国华东水网地带大面积扩散,并在江苏太湖流域、浙江杭嘉湖平原、宁绍平原等水域成为很多沉水植物群落的优势种。课题组在其分布区的苏州太湖乡、湖州道场乡、杭州五常乡、绍兴陶堰镇、柯岩镇和宁波方桥镇等6个地点设置固定样地对水盾草入侵群落进行了9个季节的调查,分析了不同季节群落种类组成与生物量的变化等。结果表明：各群落优势种在不同季节有变化,有些群落在所调查季节中主要优势种都为水盾草(五常乡、柯岩镇和方桥镇),另一些群落优势种则发生季节及年际变化(太湖乡、道场乡和陶堰镇),如太湖乡冬季优势种均为菹草、其它季节为水盾草。水盾草的生物量在样地、季节间变化很大,最高一般在秋季,变幅达近50倍。水盾草生物量的季节动态显示3种情况：一是由于人为干扰大幅下降,二是处于相对稳定的平衡状态,三是大幅上升。其中后两种情况下人为干扰较小,是群落自身演替的结果。从种类组成来看,种类组成单一的群落,水盾草重要值均在50％以上;种类组成复杂的群落,其重要值随季节而变化。说明群落物种丰度与其对水盾草的易感性间有较密切的联系,水盾草易于入侵组成单一的群落,并迅速成为优势种。本地种与水盾草的生物量最大值出现在不同水深下,水盾草的最适生长水深在1．6m左右的水域,而本地种金鱼藻、苦草和黑藻的最适水深在0．8～1m左右。水盾草4个季节最适水深比本地种都要大,表明在它们在沉水植物群落中处于不同生态位。较低的群落物种多样性与空间生态位空缺可能是水盾草成功入侵的主要原因。清淤等人为控制是防治水盾草入侵成功的有效手段,但这也将使本地种的生存受到威胁。

Effects of seasonal precipitation change on soil respiration processes in a seasonally dry tropical forest

Precipitation is projected to change intensity and seasonal regime under current global projections. However, little is known about how seasonal precipitation changes will affect soil respiration, especially in seasonally dry tropical forests. In a seasonally dry tropical forest in South China, we conducted a precipitation manipulation experiment to simulate a delayed wet season (DW) and a wetter wet season (WW) over a three‐year period. In DW, we reduced 60% throughfall in April and May to delay the onset of the wet season and irrigated the same amount water into the plots in October and November to extend the end of the wet season. In WW, we irrigated 25% annual precipitation into plots in July and August. A control treatment (CT) receiving ambient precipitation was also established. Compared with CT, DW significantly increased soil moisture by 54% during October to November, and by 30% during December to April. The treatment of WW did not significantly affect monthly measured soil moisture. In 2015, DW significantly increased leaf area index and soil microbial biomass but decreased fine root biomass. In contrast, WW significantly decreased fine root biomass and forest floor litter stocks. Soil respiration was not affected by DW, which could be attributed to the increased microbial biomass offsetting the decrease in fine root biomass. In contrast, WW significantly increased soil respiration from 3.40 to 3.90 μmol m^?2 s^?1 in the third year, mainly due to the increased litter decomposition and soil pH (from 4.48 to 4.68). The present study suggests that both a delayed wet season and a wetter wet season will have significant impacts on soil respiration‐associated ecosystem components. However, the ecosystem components can respond in different directions to the same change in precipitation, which ultimately affected soil respiration.     

长白山源头溪流底栖动物群落结构季节动态

源头溪流是河流生态系统物质循环和能量流动的重要区域,对底栖动物的生物多样性维持具有重要意义。目前,针对我国源头溪流底栖动物群落结构的研究薄弱,对长白山源头溪流底栖动物季节动态的研究尚未见报道。采用野外原位定量取样的方法,力图阐释长白山源头溪流底栖动物群落结构的季节动态特征及其主要环境驱动因子。研究结果表明:(1)共计采集底栖动物90个分类单元,隶属于3纲9目38科。其中,水生昆虫85属,占绝对优势。底栖动物群落结构的季节动态明显,底栖动物密度及多样性在夏、秋季显著高于冬季和春季,并在冬季达到最低值。(2)底栖动物功能摄食类群以收集者占优势,其次为撕食者、捕食者和刮食者,滤食者相对丰度最低。不同功能摄食类群的季节动态不一致,但密度和物种丰富度整体表现为秋季最高。(3)水温、凋落叶分布和流速是长白山源头溪流底栖动物群落结构季节动态的主要环境驱动因子。本研究可为长白山源头溪流后续相关研究及长白山松花江水系生态修复提供基础数据支持及参考。     

南亚热带三种主要森林降雨及其再分配过程中的养分差异规律

马尾松林、针阔叶混交林和季风常绿阔叶林是南亚热带鼎湖山地区由演替初期到成熟森林过程的典型代表,对3种林地的降雨量及其再分配过程进行观测,并测定该过程中养分(N、P、K、Ca、Mg)浓度。结果表明,大气降雨经过冠层再分配后,除Ca外,各养分浓度在穿透雨和树干流中都有所增加,树干流增加的幅度更大。穿透雨中Ca元素浓度低于大气降水,这一现象在3种林型均有表现。穿透雨和树干流中养分浓度在演替系列上没有显示出一致的规律,但比较不同演替阶段的输入量可以看出,树干流养分输入量随演替进行呈增加趋势。经过冠层作用后,雨水带来的养分输入量大于凋落物分解输入量,这种现象在马尾松林和混交林尤为明显。表明大气降雨不仅促使养分元素从冠层向地表迁移,而且提供了演替初期植物生长所需的重要养分。
