摘要:

大气氮氧化物(NOx = NO + NO2)随着干沉降进入森林生态系统时, 会首先接触森林冠层。森林乔木能通过叶片吸收多少NO2以及对吸收的NO2是如何分配的, 目前尚不清楚。该研究利用15N稳定同位素示踪技术, 对中国南方常见乔木树种木荷(Schima superba)和马尾松(Pinus massoniana)幼苗在黑暗和光照两种条件下进行了15NO2静态箱熏蒸实验, 检测并分析了两种植物的15N回收率以及吸收的NO2在植物各组织中的分配结果。结果显示: 植物主要通过气孔吸收NO2, 木荷和马尾松在黑暗条件下整体分别能回收10.3% ± 5.9%和20.4% ± 7.0% 15NO2, 在光照条件下整体分别能回收35.9% ± 5.4%和68.2% ± 7.6% 15NO2。两种植物各组织中的平均干质量15N回收率均表现为叶>枝>干>根, 大部分吸收的NO2在短时间内都留在叶片中, 木荷和马尾松叶片15N回收率占比在黑暗条件下分别为72%和49%, 在光照条件下分别为91%和96%。本研究的结果表明森林乔木对NO2的吸收不可忽略, 森林乔木吸收NO2这一过程在森林生态系统氮收支中起着十分重要的作用。

Abstract:

Aims Nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) are the world’s main atmospheric pollutants. Especially in China, NOx deposition has been increasing in recent years. When NOx enter the forest ecosystems accompanied by dry deposition, they reach the forest canopy first. Studies have shown that trees can assimilate NO2 deposited on leaf surfaces, but this process has been ignored in the forest N cycle models. Currently, the quantity of NO2 that can be assimilated by trees through foliage and the mechanisms of how the assimilated NO2 is distributed remain unclear.
Methods In this study, we conducted a 15NO2 fumigation experiment with static chambers under dark and light conditions. We chose Schima superba and Pinus massoniana seedlings, the common tree species in southern China, as our experimental materials, and analyzed the whole 15N recovery and the distribution of assimilated 15NO2 in different tissues.
Important findings The results show that trees assimilated NO2 mainly through stomata. Schima superba and P. massoniana could take up 10.3% ± 5.9% and 20.4% ± 7.0% 15NO2 in the whole plant under the dark condition, respectively; while 35.9% ± 5.4% and 68.2% ± 7.6% under light condition. The sequence of 15N recovery per dry mass in different tissues was leaves > branches > stem > roots. Most recovered NO2 remained in the leaves in a short period after fumigation. The 15N recovery in leaves of S. superba and P. massoniana accounted for 72% and 49% of the total recovery under the dark condition, and 91% and 96% under the light condition, respectively. This study indicates that the foliar assimilation of NO2 in forest ecosystems cannot be ignored. The process of foliar NO2 assimilation plays a key role in the N budget of forest ecosystems.
