Abstract

【Objective】 The transpiration water consumption of Abies georgei var. smithii individuals with different diameters at breast height (DBH) was studied, and its correlations with meteorological factors were analyzed. This information could provide an important reference for understanding the forest growth rule in the sub-high mountain area of Tibet Autonomous Region. 【Method】 A stem sap flow measurement system was used to measure the transpiration water consumption of A. georgei var. smithii in the Sejila Mountains of southeastern Tibet. Eight individuals of A. georgei var. smithii with different DBH were measured, as well as five meteorological factors. 【Result】 The diurnal variation of the sap flow displayed a single peaked curve on sunny days, and the average stem sap flow rates of the eight samples were 137.09, 142.71 and 184.43 g/h in July, August and September, respectively. The activity period of sap flow was from 10:00 to 22:00, and its peak value occurred at approximately 16:00. The transpiration water consumption per unit sapwood area was significantly positively correlated with air temperature and photosynthetic active radiation, and was positively correlated with saturated vapor pressure difference (VPD), but was negatively correlated with air relative humidity, and had no relation with wind speed. The ranking of correlation coefficients was air relative humidity > air temperature > photosynthetic active radiation > VPD. The DBH was significantly correlated with sapwood area (R 2=0.999) and transpirtation water consumption per day (R2=0.937). 【Conclusion】 The diurnal variation in the transpiration water consumption of A. georgei var. smithii was of “N” type, which was significantly affected by environmental factors, such as air temperature, humidity, and photosynthetic active radiation. The daily transpiration water consumption per plant increased rapidly with the increase in DBH.

Abstract
城市绿化树木具有多重生态效应, 其耗水量不容忽视。在不了解树干液流空间变异的前提下, 将点的测定值推广到整树或者林段尺度会产生很大的误差。为准确地确定整树耗水, 采用热消散探针法研究了夏秋季北京成年常绿树种油松(Pinus tabulaeformis)、雪松(Cedrus deodara)和刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia)树干液流的空间变异特征及产生原因。各树种树干液流存在方位变异, 受树干靠南的方向受光较多、木材解剖特征和枝下高高度的影响, 油松和雪松液流密度与方位之间的关系较为固定, 而刺槐液流密度与方位之间的关系表现出随机性。不同方位每小时液流密度之间高度相关(p R<sup>2</sup> > 0.91, p R<sup>2</sup> > 0.89, p < 0.000 1)。然而, 同一棵树不同方位径向剖面特征不同, 雪松南向较深处的液流明显高于其他方位, 且滞后不显著, 这与树冠南向受光较多有关。结合误差分析, 采取北向15 mm和75 mm深处的液流密度均值来估算整树耗水较为准确。

<em>Aims</em> Water consumption of urban plants with multiple ecological effects is important. However, large errors may occur when sap flow is scaled from single point measurement to whole tree without knowledge of spatial sap flow profiles in the trunk. Our objective was to investigate the spatial variation of sap flux density (<em>J<sub>s</sub></em>) and its possible cause to estimate whole-tree water use more precisely.<em>Methods</em> Spatial patterns of sap flux density in the sapwood of <em>Pinus tabulaeformis</em>, <em>Cedrus deodara</em> and <em>Robinia pseudoacacia</em> were investigated with thermal dissipation probe from June to November 2008 in Beijing, China.<em>Important findings</em> Axial variation was substantial. Due to greater exposure to sun in the south aspect, the anatomy of the xylem structure and lower branch height, there was an apparent relationship between sap flux density and aspect in <em>P. tabulaeformis</em> and <em>C. deodara</em>, but no apparent relationship in <em>R. pseudoacacia</em>. Hourly <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> over 24 h at different aspects were highly correlated; therefore, mean <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> may be accurately estimated based on measurement obtained on one aspect. <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> showed marked radial variation within the trunk. <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> at different depths show similar diurnal pattern, while <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> at deeper depth lagged behind and was more sensitive to evaporative demand than the shallower depth. Hourly<em> J<sub>s</sub></em> over 24 h at different depths were highly correlated, so <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> at a particular depth could be extrapolated as a multiple of <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> at the depth of 15 mm. However, depth profiles of <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> differed among aspects within a tree. <em>J<sub>s</sub></em> at the deeper depth on the south aspect of <em>C. deodara</em> was greater and had no time lag compared to other aspects. In conclusion, sap flux density on the north side at depths of 15 and 70 mm could give an accurate estimation of whole-tree transpiration.
