利用Granier测定系统,对华南丘陵植被恢复先锋树种马占相思和木荷的树干液流分别进行4a(2004—2007年)和5a(2008—2012年)监测,比较不同龄级两树种的蒸腾量及其季节变化.结果表明:马占相思和木荷的年蒸腾量均随树龄增加而增大,木荷蒸腾量的增加速度更快.木荷平均整树年蒸腾量为7014.76kg,比马占相思(3704.97kg)高;马占相思蒸腾量的季节变异(511.46~1802.17kg)比木荷(1346.48~2349.35kg)大.蒸腾速率(Eh)与光合有效辐射(PAR)、水汽压亏缺(VPD)的标准回归系数随土壤湿度的增加而增大,表明土壤水分的增加提高了植物对环境响应的敏感度.偏相关分析表明,土壤湿度的季节变异是导致两树种蒸腾量季节变化的最主要因素.木荷和马占相思的最适土壤湿度分别为0.22~0.40和0.29~0.30(V/V),表明与外来树种马占相思相比,乡土树种木荷对水分胁迫有更好的适应及调节能力.
The xylem sap flows of two pioneer tree species, i. e. , Acacia mangium and Schima su- perba, in degraded hill lands of South China, were continually monitored with Granier' s thermal dissipation probes during 2004-2007 and 2008 -2012, respectively, and their seasonal transpiration changes at different tree age levels were compared. The results showed that the annual transpiration of both species increased with tree ages, and S. superba demonstrated a higher value than A. man- gium. The average annual whole-tree transpiration of S. superba (7014.76 kg) was higher than that ofA. mangium (3704.97 kg). A. mangium (511.46-1802.17 kg) had greater seasonal variation than S. superba ( 1346.48 -2349.35 kg). The standard regression coefficients (~) of transpiration (Eh), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and vapor pressure deficit (VPD) for both species increased with soil moisture, suggesting the increase of soil moisture generated a greater sensitivity of plants to environmental factors. Partial correlation analysis revealed that soil moisture played an important role in the seasonal variation of transpiration of both species. The opti- mum soil moistures of S. superba and A. mangium were 0.22-0.40 and 0.29-0.30 (V/V) , re- spectively, indicating the native pioneer species S. superba better adapted to water deficit compared with exotic pioneer species A. mangium.
