摘要:

附生地衣是森林生态系统中的重要组成部分, 在维护森林物种多样性以及水分和养分循环等方面发挥着重要作用。地衣类群的水势特征以及压力-体积(PV)曲线及相关参数是否适用于探索地衣等变水性生物类群应对水分胁迫机制, 仍有待阐明。该研究以中国西南地区云南哀牢山亚热带山地森林中5个类群15种常见附生地衣为对象, 探讨了其PV曲线及水势参数的功能群和物种水平的变化。结果显示, 蓝藻型地衣的内部含水量(WCinternal)和共质体水含量(Rs)显著高于绿藻型地衣, 是其1倍以上, 但其他参数表现出较高的一致性。功能群水平上, 地衣仅WCinternalRs和膨压损失点的相对含水量(RWCTLP)具有显著性差异; 但物种间差异均非常显著。结合主成分分析进一步发现, PV曲线及相关参数在评估地衣整体应对水分胁迫以及揭示生境水分条件选择策略时具有较大的限制性, 受到共生藻和生长型的显著影响; 但内部最大持水力可以解释蓝藻型地衣的生境适应策略, 而部分参数如饱和渗透势(Ψsat)和RWCTLP可以分别用于解释狭叶地衣、阔叶地衣和枝状地衣对生境水分条件的适应。研究表明PV曲线及水势参数不适用于地衣类群整体的抗旱性评价, 和其他生物类群进行抗旱性比较时更要慎用。

Abstract:

Aims Epiphytic lichens are a widespread and significant component of forest ecosystems, and play an important role in biodiversity maintaining and water and nutrient cycling. This study aims to illustrate the water potential characteristics of the epiphytic lichen group and to assess whether the pressure-volume (PV) curve and relative parameters are suitable for exploring the response of lichens to drought stress.
Methods The water potential parameters and PV curves of 15 epiphytic lichen species from five functional groups were measured in the subtropical forests in the Ailao Mountains, Yunnan Province.
Important findings The internal water content (WCinternal) and symplast water content (Rs) of cyanolichens were significantly higher than those of chlorolichens, while other parameters showed no significant differences. We only observed significant differences in WCinternal, Rs and relative water content at turgor loss point (RWCTLP) among different functional groups of lichens. All parameters differed significantly among species. Results of principal component analysis (PCA) further indicated that there are extensive limitations for PV curves and water potential parameters in evaluating the overall response of lichen species to water stress and in revealing the selection strategy of water-related habitats, largely due to the influence of the photobiont type and growth form. However, the adaptation strategies of cyanolichens to habitat could be explained by the maximum internal water holding capacity, while the adaptation to water conditions could be explained by the saturated water osmotic potential (Ψsat) in narrowly lobed foliose lichens, and by the RWCTLP in broadly lobed foliose and fruticose lichens. Our study suggests that PV curves and water potential parameters are not suitable for the general evaluation of the drought resistance of lichen communities, and should be used carefully in comparing the drought resistances between lichens and other plant groups.
