摘要:

为明确不同树种人工林植物功能性状与碳氮化学计量在林龄梯度下的变化规律及响应机制, 该研究以不同林龄毛白杨(Populus tomentosa)、侧柏(Platycladus orientalis)和国槐(Styphnolobium japonicum)人工林为研究对象, 测定并探究其不同器官功能性状、碳氮化学计量和土壤理化性质的变化及相互关系。研究发现: (1)随着林龄的增加, 3个树种土壤养分、黏粒和粉粒含量均显著增加, 毛白杨土壤全磷含量、侧柏土壤pH减小; (2) 3个树种比叶面积均随林龄增加而显著增加, 比叶质量显著减小。根系碳含量(平均值为36.25%)低于枝条(45.52%)与叶片(44.83%), 叶片氮含量(1.98%)高于根系(1.30%)与枝条(0.64%), 不同器官养分含量与碳氮比随林龄增加的变化因树种而异; (3)毛白杨各器官功能性状间存在协同一致性, 而侧柏叶片与根性状独立演化, 形成策略性解耦; (4)土壤含水量的增加与土壤质地的改善是引起植物性状变化的重要原因; (5)土壤全氮含量与叶片和根系碳含量呈显著负相关关系, 冗余分析表明土壤电导率是影响植物功能性状的显著因子; (6)随机森林分析表明, 影响植物叶片、枝条与根系碳氮比的显著因素包括土壤全磷和黏粒含量、比叶面积、叶干物质量与植物养分含量。研究结果揭示了不同树种在林龄梯度下植物功能性状与器官碳氮分配的差异, 丰富了植物经济谱理论框架。

Abstract:

Aims Clarify the variation patterns and corresponding response mechanisms of plant functional traits and carbon-nitrogen stoichiometry in artificial plantations of different tree species under the age gradient.

Methods In this study, Populus tomentosa, Platycladus orientalis and Styphnolobium japonicum at different ages were selected as the research objects to determine and explore the changes and relationships of different organ functional traits, carbon-nitrogen stoichiometry and soil physicochemical properties.

Important findings (1) With the increase of forest age, the content of soil nutrients, clay and silt of different tree plantations increased significantly. While soil total phosphorus content of Populus tomentosa plantations, and soil pH value of Platycladus orientalis plantations decreased. (2) The specific leaf area of different tree species increased significantly with the increase of forest age, while the specific leaf mass decreased significantly. The root carbon content (average 36.25%) was lower than that of branches (45.52%) and leaves (44.83%), and the leaf nitrogen content (1.98%) was higher than that of roots (1.30%) and branches (0.64%). With the increase of forest age, the nutrient content and carbon-nitrogen ratio of different organs varied with tree species. (3) The functional traits of Populus tomentosa plantations of different organs were coordinated, while the functional traits of leaves and roots of Platycladus orientalisplantations evolved independently, forming a decoupling strategy. (4) The increase of soil water content and the improvement of soil texture are important reasons for the changes in plant traits. (5) The soil total nitrogen content was significantly negatively correlated with the carbon content in leaves and roots. Redundancy analysis showed that soil electrical conductivity significantly affected plant functional traits. (6) Random forest analysis showed that the significant factors affecting the carbon-nitrogen ratio of leaves, branches and roots included soil total phosphorus and clay contents, specific leaf area, leaf dry matter mass and plant nutrient content. The research results reveal the differences in plant functional traits and organ carbon and nitrogen distribution among different tree species under the forest age gradient, enriching the theoretical framework of the plant economic spectrum.
