    摘要:

    利用LI-1600稳态气孔计和PMS压力室,在田间测定了群落演替早期强阳生性树种桃金娘(Rhodomyrtus tomentosa)和三叉苦(Evodia lepta)、偏中性的阳生性树种荷木(Schima superba)、群落演替后期的耐荫树种鸭脚木(Schefllera octophylla)和九节(Psychotrie rubra)的叶片气孔导度(gs)和叶片水势(ΨL),研究不同演替阶段树种的气孔导度对环境水分的响应。结果表明,早上叶片有较高的ΨL,随着时间推移ΨL逐渐降低,与此同时比叶水力导度(KL)随ΨL降低而下降,桃金娘、三叉苦、荷木、鸭脚木和九节水力导度初始最低值时的ΨL分别为-1.6、-1.42、-1.30、-0.9MPa和-1.05MPa。随着ΨL降低,田间测定的gs开始从上午的较低值上升至约中午时的最大值,随后开始降低,此时的ΨL分别为-1.58、-1.52、-1.35、-1.02MPa和-1.0MPa。不同植物种类有不同的KL初始最低值的ΨL和gs达到最大值的ΨL。但不论何种供试树种,KL最低值时的ΨL与gs开始从最大值下降时的ΨL相近;显示KL与gs在动态变化中存在协调关系。树种间的gs和KL对ΨL的不同响应显示桃金娘和三叉苦的KL最低值时和gs开始下降时的ΨL均较鸭脚木和九节对应的ΨL低(p<0.05),意味着演替早期树种能在较强水分胁迫下保持较高的气孔导度。这一水力特性保证树种在水分胁迫下维持叶片的光合速率,有利于其在群落中的生长和优势地位的维护,而演替后期树种在较高ΨL下气孔关闭,降低了光合速率。全球变暖和环境进一步干旱可能成为限制亚热带森林植物群落的正向演替进程的潜在因素之一。

    Abstract:

    Stomatal conductance (gs) and leaf water potential (ΨL) were measured in situ with LI-1600 porometer and PMS pressure chamber, respectively, to investigate the mechanism involved in the response of stomatal conductance to the changes of environmental water status in leaves of tree species in different successional stages of subtropical forest. Two stronger light-tolerant or early-successional species, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa and Evodia lepta, one mesophytic-biased sun plant, Schima superba, and two shade-tolerant or late-successional species, Schefllera octophylla and Psychotric rubra were selected in this study. The results indicated that the leaf hydraulic conductance (KL), namely the leaf specific hydraulic conductance between soil and crown leaves, reduced with the declination of leaf water potential (ΨL) in all examined species. Corresponding ΨL at the initial minimum values of KL was -1.60, -1.42, -1.30, -0.9 and -1.05 MPa for R. tomentosa, E. lepta, S. superba, S. octophylla and P. rubbra, respectively. In situ gs measurements showed that ΨL at the initial time of stomatal closure, which referred to the ΨL point when gs started to decline, was -1.58, -1.52, -135, -1.02 MPa and -1.0 MPa in the above mentioned species, respectively. The results may allow us to infer a linkage between diurnal changes in KL and gs. The observed trends in gs and KL in response to the change of ΨL across the successional species suggest that the early-successional species, R. tomentosa and E. lepta, were capable of maintaining high stomatal conductance at more negative ΨL under water stress. This hydraulic property may allow these species to photosynthesize and maintain dominantly under higher water stress conditions. However, higher ΨL would trigger stomatal closure and reduction of photosynthesis in the late-successional species, S. octophylla and P. rubra, which may be one of the potential factors affecting the general trend of forest succession in subtropics if environment becomes drier caused by climatic warming.
