摘要:

种子萌发受种源和环境条件(如光照和温度条件等)的影响。种子萌发决定红松(Pinus koraiensis)的天然更新能力, 因此也是恢复地带性顶极群落阔叶红松林的关键。该研究以我国3个主要种源地(辽宁清原、吉林长白山和黑龙江伊春)当年的红松种子为对象, 监测自然光、温(不同季节、林窗和林下)和控制光、温(3个光照强度: 200、20和0 μmol·m-2·s-1, 记为L200、L20和L0; 2个温度: 25和15 ℃)条件下红松种子的萌发特征。结果表明, 自然越冬后, 春季(5月)所有种源种子均未萌发, 夏季(7月)和秋季(9月)各种源种子萌发率(GP)均较低(1.8%-33.7%), 但夏季林窗内各种源种子GP均显著高于林下。对林下各季节未萌发的种子, 带回室内给予适宜的光温条件(L200、25/15 ℃)后发现: 春季和夏季种子均能大量萌发(32%-77%), 而秋季种子GP极低(<2%)。25 ℃下, 3个种源地种子GP和萌发指数(GV)均呈现在L200条件下显著高于L20和L0处理。15 ℃条件下, 清原种子GP和GV对光照的响应与25 ℃条件下相一致, 长白山和伊春种子GP和GV分别在L0和L20处理下最高。所有光照强度下, 3个种源地种子GP和GV均为25 ℃处理显著高于15 ℃处理。可见, 适宜的温度是红松种子萌发的必要先决条件, 长白山和伊春红松种子可能需要更高的积温解除休眠; 适宜温度下(25 ℃), 红松种子表现出萌发需光性; 红松种子萌发对光、温的响应存在种源特异性, 长白山和伊春红松种子在相对低温下萌发需光性弱或消失。林下光、温条件不适宜红松种子萌发是造成红松林天然更新慢或更新差的重要原因。

Abstract:

Aims Seed germination is affected by both provenance and habitat conditions (light, temperature, etc.). Then natural regeneration capacity of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) is determined by its seed germination, which is the key to restore the broadleaved Korean pine forest—a regional climax community. This study aimed to reveal the effects of light and temperature on seed germination of Korean pine with different provenances.

Methods Germinations of the P. koraiensisseeds produced in the year were investigated in both field and lab from three provenances in China (i.e. Qingyuan, Liaoning Province; Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province; and Yichun, Heilongjiang Province). Specifically, for field survey, seed germination data were obtained from both forest canopy gap and forest understory in different seasons. While for lab experiment, the seed germination in growth chamber were recorded under three light intensities (i.e. 200, 20 and 0 μmol·m-2·s-1, L200, L20 and L0 hereafter) and two temperature conditions (i.e. 25 and 15 °C).

Important findings Results showed that no seeds germinated in spring (May) under natural conditions. In comparison, the seed germination percentages (GP) from three provenances were relatively low ranging from 1.8% in understory to 33.7% in canopy gaps in summer (July) and autumn (September). However, we found that the GP were significantly higher in the canopy gap than in the understory in summer. Besides, lab experiments showed that the GP were relatively high (ranged from 32% to 77%) for spring and summer seeds under suitable light and temperature conditions (L200, 25/15 °C) in growth chamber, but the GP were very low for autumn seeds (<2%). At 25 °C condition, the GP and germination values (GV) were significantly higher under L200 than those under L20 and L0 conditions for all the three provenances. At 15 °C condition, the response of GP and GV was consistent with that of 25 °C for seeds from Qingyuan, while the GP and GV were the highest under L0 and L20 conditions for seeds from Changbai Mountain and Yichun, respectively. Under all light intensities, GP and GV from three provenances were all higher under 25 °C than those under 15 °C. In conclusion, temperature is essential for seed germination of P. koraiensis, and the seeds from Changbai Mountain and Yichun might require higher accumulated temperature to break dormancy. Moreover, light helps promote seed germination at relatively high temperature condition (25 °C). However, the impacts of light and temperature were provenance-dependent. More specifically, the light impacts on germination were reduced at lower temperature conditions for seeds collected from Changbai Mountain and Yichun. Our study indicated that the poor regeneration of Korean pine natural forests might attribute to the unsuitable light and temperature conditions for seed germination.
