摘要:

环境对树木的功能和生存具有至关重要的意义, 但环境因素影响树木发育的过程仍有待探究。树木径向生长动态监测是深刻了解树木生长状况及其对气候变化响应的重要手段。该研究以云南轿子山不同海拔树线树种急尖长苞冷杉(Abies georgei var. smithii)为研究对象, 对其年内径向生长动态进行监测, 以期明晰树木径向生长各阶段起止时间的海拔差异, 分析不同海拔树木形成层活动和木质部分化对温度的响应, 辨析树木径向生长的低温阈值。结果表明: (1)海拔越高, 径向生长开始的时间越晚, 结束越早, 生长季缩短。海拔每上升100 m, 急尖长苞冷杉径向生长的开始时间推迟4.7 d, 结束时间提前7.2 d, 生长季缩短12.8 d; (2) 3个海拔急尖长苞冷杉的径向生长具有相似的低温阈值(约5 ℃), 温度控制形成层活动的开始与木质部分化的结束; (3)不同海拔急尖长苞冷杉形成层的细胞分裂活动均在温度较高时(夏至日前后)减弱。 形成层活动的结束与海拔引起的温度变化关系较弱, 光周期可能参与了形成层活动结束的调控, 以确保当年新生细胞能够在冻害来临前完成木质化。该研究结果有助于加深树木生长动态对气候变化响应机制的认识, 为更好地适应和应对气候变化提供科学依据。

Abstract:

Aims In view of the overarching significance for tree function and survival, it is essential to explore the environmental influences on tree development. Our objective was to clarify the altitudinal differences in the onset and offset of each stage of tree radial growth, to analyze the response of cambium activity and xylem differentiation to temperature at different altitudes, and to identify low temperature threshold for radial growth of trees.

Methods Weekly microcores and hourly in situ climate data were collected at 3 600, 3 800 and 4 000 m along the altitude gradient of Abies georgei var. smithii forest in Jiaozi Mountain, Yunnan.

Important findings The results showed that: (1) There were differences in the phenology of radial growth at three altitudes. The onset of radial growth was delayed by 4.7 d per 100 m, the end of radial growth was advanced by 7.2 d per 100 m, and the growing season was shortened by 12.8 d per 100 m with increasing altitude; (2) The radial growth of Abies georgei var. smithii at different altitudes had similar low temperature thresholds (about 5 °C), and temperature controlled the onset of cambium activity and the end of xylem differentiation; (3) The degree of cell division activity at different altitude decreased at higher temperatures (around the summer solstice), and photoperiod was involved in the regulation of the end of cambium activity to ensure the completion of cell mature before the freezing. The relationship between the cambium activity and altitude-induced temperature change is weak. The photoperiod may be involved in regulating the end of cambium activity to ensure the completion of cell mature before the freezing. This study contributes to understand the response mechanisms of tree growth dynamics to climate change and provides a scientific basis for better adaptation and response to climate change.
