典型黄土区油松树干液流变化特征分析

蒸腾耗水是植被水分利用的重要方式和重要过程之一,对植物养分输送、生长发育、应对和缓解干旱胁迫以及改善区域微气候等都具有重要意义.研究以半干旱黄土区的油松植被为例,基于四针式热扩散探针法监测树干液流的动态变化,探讨其蒸腾耗水规律,分析油松树种的水分利用方式及对生存环境的适应能力.结果表明,油松的液流速率具有明显的季节性差异,不同月份的液流速率以4月最低,其次为10月、9月和8月,分别为0.024、0.057、0.062和0.071 m L·(cm2·min)-1.液流速率的日变化在各个时期都呈现昼高夜低趋势,夜间液流速率较低,但不为零.在降雨事件影响下,夜间液流量在日液流总量中的比重明显增加,是晴朗天气的3.9倍,而白天液流量所占比重下降31.8%.寒潮期间液流速率表现出相似的变化趋势,对突变环境具有较强的适应能力.油松液流速率与气象因子显著相关,对液流速率影响的大小顺序为:太阳辐射水汽压亏缺相对湿度大气温度.

Analysis of Sap Flow Characteristics of the Chinese Pine in Typical Loess Plateau Region of China

Transpiration is one of the major processes of water consumption. It is significant for nutrients transportation, plant development, drought stress alleviation and micro-climate amelioration. In this study, the artificially planted Chinese pine(Pinus tabuliformis) was selected as an example to explore its transpiration characteristics, water-use strategies and the adaptability of the living environment in a typical loess hilly area of China. The results showed that: the sap flow rates of Chinese pine varied obviously in different seasons. The minimum sap flow rate occurred in April, followed by October, September and August, which was 0.024, 0.057, 0.062 and 0.071 mL·(cm²·min)^-1, respectively. The rule of the diurnal variation of sap flow rate was regular, higher in daytime than at night. The flow rate was low during nighttime, but not zero. In rainfall events, the proportion of sap flow during nighttime was significantly increased, which was 3.9 times of that on sunny days, with 31.8% decrease in daytime. Chinese pine had great adaptability to unexpected climates. The variation trend of flow rate in the clod was similar to that on rainy days. The sap flow velocity was in great relevance with meteorological factors, with a declining order of solar radiation, vapor pressure deficit, relative humidity, and atmospheric temperature.
