Abstract

【Objective】 This study aims to explore the response and adaptive mechanisms of Fraxinus mandschurica to different light intensities, to provide a basis for reforestation and forest regeneration. 【Method】 Two-year-old potted Fraxinus mandschurica seedlings were grown under four different light treatments (100%, 60%, 30%, and 15% of full sunlight). The photosynthetic and hydraulic characteristics of the seedlings were then measured. 【Result】 Shading treatments significantly affected the growth, photosynthesis, and hydraulics of Fraxinus mandschurica seedlings. Seedlings had a higher stomatal conductance (Gs), net photosynthetic rate (Pn), hydraulic conductance of root (Kroot), shoot (Kshoot), and whole plant (Kplant) under 100% relative light intensity than under 60% and 30% relative light intensities. With a decrease in light intensity, the growth rate, ratio of root mass (RMR), maximum net photosynthetic rate (Pn,max), light saturation point (LSP), and light compensation point (LCP) decreased, while the ratio of stem mass (SMR) and leaf mass (LMR) and apparent quantum yield (AQY) increased. Xylem anatomies were significantly different among the three light treatments. For example, the vessel density was significantly higher in the 100% than in the 30% and 60% relative light intensities, but the vessel diameter was significantly lower in the 100% than in the 30% and 60% light treatments. 【Conclusion】 Even though Fraxinus mandschurica was able to slightly adapt to low-light conditions by adjusting its morphology, photosynthesis, and hydraulic characteristics, it mostly had a high demand for light during its seedling stage. There was a coupling between the hydraulic architecture and photosynthetic characteristics in response to changes in the light intensity. The photosynthetic and hydraulic characteristics of Fraxinus mandschurica seedlings showed relatively larger plasticity with changes in light treatment. Relatively larger plastic adjustments of functional traits can contribute to greater fitness in heterogeneous light environments of the forest understory, which has great significance for the regeneration of Fraxinus mandshurica seedlings in natural forests.

Abstract
光照是森林更新动态中极为关键的环境因子。本研究在东北天然次生林中选择样地,应用地统计学理论结合实验生态学方法,定量分析林分光照空间异质性特征,同时进行林下播种水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica)的更新实验,探测更新格局特征。通过空间关联性分析,研究探讨是否林分光照的空间变异对水曲柳更新有重要影响作用。研究结果表明: 1)生长季林分平均光照仅为全光照的4.2%~4.6%,在空间分布上呈现非常明显的异质性特征,空间自相关变异(62.5%~78.2%)主要体现在10.9~12.4 m的尺度上。2)林分光照不同的空间样点上,水曲柳更新幼苗发生数量和秋季幼苗存活数量均存在显著差异,光照相对强的微生境中,更新苗发生数量较多且存活率高,而在光照较弱的微生境中则更新较差,更新具有十分明显的空间格局。3)更新格局与林分光照空间异质性特征紧密关联。在光照空间异质性程度较高、空间变异较复杂的条件下,更新相应呈现出较复杂的空间格局,自相关的变异表现在较小尺度范围(2.12~6.97 m)。在光照空间异质性程度较低、空间变异复杂性较小的条件下,更新格局的复杂程度明显变小,空间自相关变异(>83%)表现在较大的尺度上(30 m),对更新格局起主要的影响作用,随机变异的影响很小(<17%)。这些研究结果说明,林分光照环境在水曲柳更新中的作用十分关键,林分光照的空间异质性对更新格局起决定性作用。

Leaf hydraulic conductance (Kleaf ) quantifies the capacity of a leaf to transport liquid water and is a major constraint on light-saturated stomatal conductance (gs ) and photosynthetic rate (Amax ). Few studies have tested the plasticity of Kleaf and anatomy across growth light environments. These provided conflicting results. The Hawaiian lobeliads are an excellent system to examine plasticity, given the striking diversity in the light regimes they occupy, and their correspondingly wide range of Amax, allowing maximal carbon gain for success in given environments. We measured Kleaf, Amax, gs and leaf anatomical and structural traits, focusing on six species of lobeliads grown in a common garden under two irradiances (300/800 μmol photons m(-2)  s(-1) ). We tested hypotheses for light-induced plasticity in each trait based on expectations from optimality. Kleaf, Amax, and gs differed strongly among species. Sun/shade plasticity was observed in Kleaf, Amax, and numerous traits relating to lamina and xylem anatomy, venation, and composition, but gs was not plastic with growth irradiance. Species native to higher irradiance showed greater hydraulic plasticity. Our results demonstrate that a wide set of leaf hydraulic, stomatal, photosynthetic, anatomical, and structural traits tend to shift together during plasticity and adaptation to diverse light regimes, optimizing performance from low to high irradiance. © 2015 The Authors New Phytologist © 2015 New Phytologist Trust.

Abstract
堇叶紫金牛是一种特产于浙江和台湾的珍稀濒危植物.为了解堇叶紫金牛对光的需求及适应规律,本文研究了不同光照强度(遮阴率90%、60%、25%及全光照)对其光合特性和叶绿素荧光参数的影响.结果表明: 全光照条件下堇叶紫金牛净光合速率(P<sub>n</sub>)、气孔导度(g<sub>s</sub>)日变化曲线均呈&ldquo;双峰型&rdquo;,出现光合&ldquo;午休现象&rdquo;,而遮阴处理下均呈&ldquo;单峰型&rdquo;.随遮阴率的增加,堇叶紫金牛叶片P<sub>n</sub>和表观量子效率(AQY)均呈先升高后降低的趋势,光饱和点(LSP)和光补偿点(LCP)均呈降低趋势,g<sub>s</sub>、蒸腾速率(T<sub>r</sub>)、原初光能转换率(F<sub>v</sub>/F<sub>m</sub>)和PSⅡ潜在活性(F<sub>v</sub>/F<sub>o</sub>)均呈升高趋势.遮阴造成叶绿素总量、类胡萝卜素(Car)含量的增加和Chl a/b的降低.遮阴率25%条件下,堇叶紫金牛根冠比(R/T)和比叶重(LMA)均达到最大值.堇叶紫金牛对不同光环境表现出较强的适应性和可塑性,表明光照不足不是其野外种群致濒的主要原因.

<em>Ardisia violacea</em> is one of the rare and endangered species, and distributes only in Zhejiang and Taiwan Provinces in China. In order to understand the light requirement and adaptability of <em>A. violacea</em>, the effects of different light intensities (shading rate of 90%, 60%, 25%, and the full light) on leaf photosynthetic characteristics and chlorophyll fluorescence of <em>A. violacea</em> were studied. The photosynthetic rate (<em>P</em><sub>n</sub>) and stomatal conductance (<em>g</em><sub>s</sub>) of <em>A. violacea</em> varied as a bimodal curve with a &lsquo;midday depression&rsquo; phenomenon in full bright light, and as a unimodal curve in the shading treatments. With the increasing shading rate, the<em> P</em><sub>n</sub> and apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) first increased, and then decreased, the light compensation point (LCP) and light saturation point (LSP) decreased,&nbsp; and the <em>g</em><sub>s</sub>, transpiration rate (<em>T</em><sub>r</sub>), original light energy conversion (<em>F</em><sub>v</sub>/<em>F</em><sub>m</sub>) and potential activity of PSⅡ (<em>F</em><sub>v</sub>/<em>F</em><sub>o</sub>) increased. The total quantity of chlorophyll and the carotenoid (Car) content increased, and Chl a/b decreased under shading conditions. When the shading rate was 25%, the specific leaf mass (LMA) and root to shoot (<em>R/T</em>) ratio of A. violacea reached the maximum. <em>A. violacea </em>possessed a strong flexibility to different light environments, suggesting that light could not be the main limiting factor for natural regeneration of <em>A. violacea</em> populations.

Abstract
为探讨闽楠对不同光环境的光合适应机制,以2年生闽楠幼苗为材料,设置3个光照处理(全光照、遮光率50%和遮光率78%),适应6个月后,测定其叶绿素含量、气体交换和叶绿素荧光同步数据,研究不同光环境处理对闽楠叶片叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数和光合特性的影响.结果表明: 3种光照处理下,闽楠叶片叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素(a+b)和类胡萝卜素含量大小次序为78%遮光率&gt;50%遮光率&gt;全光照,但不同光照处理对闽楠叶绿素a/b值没有显著影响.遮阴条件下,闽楠叶片光补偿点(LCP)降低,光饱和点(LSP)和表观量子效率(AQY)升高,说明遮阴条件下闽楠叶片对弱光和强光的利用能力均有所提高;最大净光合速率(P<sub>n max</sub>)、光下暗呼吸速率(R<sub>d</sub>)和最大电子传递速率(J<sub>max</sub>)均增大.在不同处理间,闽楠叶片净光合速率(P<sub>n</sub>)、CO<sub>2</sub>气孔导度(g<sub>sc</sub>)、胞间CO<sub>2</sub>浓度(C<sub>i</sub>)和叶肉导度(g<sub>m</sub>)均存在显著差异.P<sub>n</sub>和g<sub>m</sub>的大小顺序为: 78%遮光率&gt;50%遮光率&gt;全光照.78%遮光率处理下g<sub>sc</sub>显著大于全光照.50%遮光率条件和78%遮光率条件下C<sub>i</sub>均显著小于全光照.78%遮光率条件下PSⅡ实际光量子产量(F<sub>v</sub>′/F<sub>m</sub>′)、PSⅡ光化学效率(Φ<sub>PSⅡ</sub>)和电子传递速率(J)均显著大于50%遮光率条件和全光照.由此可知,在遮阴条件下闽楠可以通过增加叶绿素含量、AQY、J、g<sub>sc</sub>和g<sub>m</sub>来增大光合能力.

Abstract
木质部的解剖结构特征对树木水分传输功能有重要的影响,阔叶树种木质部环孔和散孔结构特征的分化,很可能导致两个功能类群在水力学结构上存在显著差异,但是有关两个功能类群间细致的水力学性状的对比研究还较少,二者整枝水平的导水率及纹孔水平的细致结构差异尚未见报道.本试验以长白山阔叶红松林常见的3个环孔材和4个散孔材乔木树种为研究对象,对比了两个功能类群树种的整枝导水率(K<sub>shoot</sub>)、枝条木质部栓塞脆弱性(P<sub>50</sub>)等重要水力学相关生理功能特征,并分析了两个功能类群间的木质部组织水平和纹孔水平上的解剖结构特征差异.结果表明: 与茎段导水率差异一致,环孔材树种的整枝导水率也显著高于散孔材,但枝条木质部气穴化抵抗力显著弱于散孔材,二者的差异反映了整枝水平上木质部导水效率和安全性之间的权衡关系,与两个功能类群的水力学生理特征存在显著差异一致,二者在最大导管长度、导管直径、纹孔开口面积、纹孔开口比例等光学和扫描电镜观测解剖结构特征上都存在显著差异;木质部解剖特征(组织水平、纹孔水平)和K<sub>shoot</sub>、P<sub>50</sub>等生理特征间,以及木质部不同解剖特征之间存在显著的相关,且两个功能类群遵循相同的规律,反映了木质部结构对水分传输功能的重要影响,而导水率和气穴化抵抗力对木质部对立的结构要求,体现了树木水分传输系统构建的生物物理局限性.

• Motivated by the urgent need to understand how water stress-induced embolism limits the survival and recovery of plants during drought, the linkage between water-stress tolerance and xylem cavitation resistance was examined in one of the world's most drought resistant conifer genera, Callitris. • Four species were subjected to drought treatments of -5, -8 and -10 MPa for a period of 3-4 wk, after which plants were rewatered. Transpiration, basal growth and leaf water potential were monitored during and after drought. • Lethal water potential was correlated with the tension producing a 50% loss of stem hydraulic conductivity. The most resilient species suffered minimal embolism and recovered gas exchange within days of rewatering from -10 MPa, while the most sensitive species suffered major embolism and recovered very slowly. The rate of repair of water transport in the latter case was equal to the rate of basal area growth, indicating xylem reiteration as the primary means of hydraulic repair. • The survival of, and recovery from, water stress in Callitris are accurately predicted by the physiology of the stem water-transport system. As the only apparent means of xylem repair after embolism, basal area growth is a critical part of this equation.© The Authors (2010). Journal compilation © New Phytologist Trust (2010).

Responses of leaf conductance (gL) to variation in photosynthetic photon flux density (QP), leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (VPD), bulk leaf water potential (Psi(x)), and total hydraulic conductance (GT) were examined in silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) with respect to leaf position in the crown. To reduce limitations caused by insufficient water supply or low light availability, experiments were also performed with branchlets cut from two different canopy layers. The intact upper-canopy leaves demonstrated 1.8-2.0 times higher (P<0.001) daily maxima of gL compared with the lower-canopy leaves growing in the shadow of upper branches. In the morning, gL in the shade foliage was primarily constrained by low light availability, in the afternoon, by limited water supply. Leaf conductance decreased when Psi(x) fell below certain values around midday, while the sun foliage experienced greater negative water potentials than the shade foliage. Midday stomatal openness was controlled by leaf water status and temperature, rather than by transpiration rate (E) via the feedforward mechanism. Mean GT was 1.7 times higher (P<0.001) for the upper-canopy foliage compared to that of the lower canopy. At least 34-39% of the total resistance to the water flow from soil up to the shade foliage, and 54% up to the sun foliage, resided in 30-cm distal parts of the branches. Artificial reduction of hydraulic constraints raised Psi(x) and made gL less sensitive to changes in both atmospheric and plant factors. Improved water supply increased gL and E in the lower-canopy foliage, but not in the upper-canopy foliage. The results support the idea that leaves in the lower canopy are hydraulically more constrained than in the upper canopy.

Abstract
应用LINKAGES模型对长白山自然保护区内主要树种在各斑块类型中对气候变化的潜在响应进行了模拟.模拟时选择了目前和未来变暖2种气候条件,对于目前气候状态,模型使用目前气象参数;而对于未来变暖气候,则按温度增加5℃、降水无明显变化作为模拟假设,温度的增加假定各月都相同,即各月均增加5℃.模拟结果表明,对于高山岳桦林,气温变暖后岳桦依然扮演重要角色,但落叶松、云杉、冷杉等目前这一林带的伴生树种,在气温上升后,其生物量均有较大辐度的增加,部分占据目前岳桦的位置,即目前下部的云冷杉林带有上移的趋势;对于亚高山云冷杉林.其优势种云杉和冷杉在气温变暖后,生物量有较大辐度的增加,落叶松虽有增加的趋势但辐度较小,即云杉和冷杉在未来气温变暖后依然是这一林带的优势种,但生长会加快;阔叶红松林的主要建群种在气温升高后,其生物量只有较小的增加,其它主要伴生种的生物量随气温上升的增加趋势非常相似,表明阔叶红松林在未来气候变暖情况下仍将维持目前的结构状态.

Through samples investigation,this paper analyzed and classified the community structures of overcutting original forests,secondary birch forests and larch plantation forest under different disturbances.At the same time,some indexes which can reflect the integrity and stability of stand structure were selected.Health Distance (HD) method,a new idea,was attempted to assess ecosystem health of Korean pine and broadleaved mixed forest in Changbai Mountains.The results showed that the health degree was in order of original broadleaved stand (0.14)&lt;structure switched stand (0.23)&lt;structure reserved stand (0.32)&lt;structure destroyed stand (0.33)&lt;heavy disturbed stand (0.44)&lt;secondary birch stand (0.53)&lt;larch plantations (0.68).Hopefully,it will be a helpful reference on the restoration of Korean pine and broadleaved mixed forest and on the regional forestry sustainable development.

We assessed the irradiance-related plasticity of hydraulic architecture in saplings of Betula pendula Roth., a pioneer species; Acer pseudoplatanus L., Fraxinus excelsior L. and Quercus robur L., which are post-pioneer light-requiring species; and Quercus petraea Matt. Liebl. and Fagus sylvatica L. Plants were grown in pots in 36%, 16% and 4% of full sunlight. Hydraulic conductance was measured with a high-pressure flow-meter in entire, in situ root systems and in excised shoots. Leaf-specific whole-plant conductance (LSC) increased with irradiance, due, in part, to an effect of irradiance on plant size. In addition, there was a size-independent effect of irradiance on LSC due, in part, to an increase in root hydraulic conductance paralleled by an increase in root biomass scaled to leaf area. Changes in shoot conductivity also contributed to the size-independent plasticity of LSC. Vulnerability to cavitation measured in current-year twigs was much larger in shade-grown plants. Betula pendula had the highest whole-plant, root and shoot conductances and also the greatest vulnerability to cavitation. The other species were similar in LSC, but showed some variation in root conductance scaled to biomass, with Q. robur, Q. petraea and F. sylvatica having the lowest root conductance and susceptibility to cavitation. All species showed a similar irradiance-related plasticity in LSC.

*In a comparative study of 42 rainforest tree species we examined relationships amongst wood traits, diameter growth and survival of large trees in the field, and shade tolerance and adult stature of the species. *The species show two orthogonal axes of trait variation: a primary axis related to the vessel size-number trade-off (reflecting investment in hydraulic conductance vs hydraulic safety) and a secondary axis related to investment in parenchyma vs fibres (storage vs strength). Across species, growth rate was positively related to vessel diameter and potential specific hydraulic conductance (K(p)), and negatively related to wood density. Survival rate was only positively related to wood density. *Light-demanding species were characterized by low wood and vessel density and wide vessels. Tall species were characterized by wide vessels with low density and large K(p). Hydraulic traits were more closely associated with adult stature than with light demand, possibly because tall canopy species experience more drought stress and face a higher cavitation risk. *Vessel traits affect growth and wood density affects growth and survival of large trees in the field. Vessel traits and wood density are therefore important components of the performance and life history strategies of tropical tree species.
