摘要:

为了揭示气候变暖对我国亚热带地区常绿阔叶天然林细根生长量和形态特征的影响, 在福建三明森林生态系统国家野外科学观测研究站开展常绿阔叶天然林野外原位土壤增温实验, 采用内生长环法探究增温在雨季(5月)和旱季(11月)对常绿阔叶天然林吸收根(直径<1 mm)和运输根(直径1-2 mm)的生长量及形态特征的影响。结果表明: 与对照相比, 在雨季, 增温处理使得吸收根的生长量显著降低41.2%, 细根(直径0-2 mm)总生长量无显著变化, 吸收根和运输根的直径和长度均没有显著变化, 吸收根的比根长(SRL)和比根表面积(SRA)均显著降低53.2%和42.9%, 吸收根的组织密度(RTD)显著增加28.8%; 在旱季, 增温处理使得吸收根、运输根和细根总生长量均显著增加, 吸收根和运输根的长度分别显著增加38.5%和33.5%, 吸收根和运输根的直径、SRL、SRA和RTD均无显著变化。在未来气候变暖背景下, 中亚热带地区常绿阔叶天然林具有较强的适应能力。雨季, 细根表现出更高的可塑性, 主要是调整吸收根性状来降低增温对细根资源吸收和生长的影响; 旱季, 细根则采取相对保守的防御策略, 主要是增加吸收根和运输根的长度来拓展资源吸收空间。该研究为全球变暖情景下亚热带森林生态系统不同功能细根的生态适应机制及资源获取策略的研究提供了科学依据。

Abstract:

Aims This study aims to reveal the effects of soil warming on the fine root growth and morphological traits of subtropical evergreen broadleaf forests in China.

Methods At the Fujian Sanming Forest Ecosystem National Observation and Research Station, we used an in-situsoil warming experiment and cooperated with the method of in-growth core in a Castanopsis kawakamii forest to explore fine root biomass growth and morphological traits during the rainy season (May) and dry season (November). In this study, we sorted fine roots into absorption roots (diameter < 1 mm) and transport roots (diameter 1-2 mm).

Important findings Compared with the control, during the rainy season, soil warming treatment significantly reduced the biomass of absorptive roots by 41.2%, contrasting no changes of transport roots. Soil warming also did not alter the diameter and length of absorptive and transport roots, but specific root length (SRL) and specific root area (SRA) were significantly reduced by 53.2% and 42.9%, respectively, and root tissue density (RTD) was significantly increased by 28.8% in absorption roots. During the dry season, soil warming significantly increased the biomass of absorptive and transportive roots, as well as their root length (increased by 38.5% and 33.5%, respectively). However, the diameter, SRL, SRA, and RTD of absorptive and transport roots did not alter in soil warming treatment during the dry season. These results suggest that fine roots of Castanopsis kawakamii in mid-subtropical forests exhibited higher plasticity to cope with climate changes, such as adjusting absorptive root traits to alleviate the effect of soil warming on the resource absorption and growth during the rainy season, and increasing root length to expand resource absorption space during the dry season. This study provides a scientific basis for understanding the ecological adaptation and resource acquisition strategies of functionally distinct fine roots in subtropical forests under global warming.
