Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of irrigation and nitrogen application on soil nitrate accumulation and distribution, so as to provide visions for specific irrigation and fertilization management principles and guidelines as well as reducing nitrate leaching in intensively managed Populus tomentosa var. tomentosa industrial plantation. Method The study site locates in Weixian County of Hebei Province where a long-term irrigation and fertilization supported by "12th Five-Year Plan" research project has been initiated with aims to improve timber production. By maintaining the soil water content above different field water holding capacity (45%, 60%, 75%) and different nitrogen application rate (0.0, 101.6, 203.2, and 304.8 kg·hm-2), the distribution pattern and accumulation of soil nitrate were studied. Result Soil nitrate content had an obvious surface accumulation tendency. From 0-200 cm, the soil nitrate content followed a S-shaped pattern (decrease-increase-decrease). The higher rate the nitrogen, the more the accumulation of nitrate in the soil layer between 60-100 cm. With the increase of soil moisture level, the leaching peak of soil nitrate was going down to 40-60, 60-80, and 80-100 cm, respectively. The nitrate accumulation in soil increased with the increase of nitrogen application rate. With the increase of soil moisture level, the soil nitrate showed an up then down pattern. Meanwhile, the water and nitrogen had a significant positive interaction on the distribution and accumulation of nitrate. In this study, different combinations of water and nitrogen of the soil nitrate accumulation ranged from 86.11-259.29 kg·hm-2. Conclusion Nitrogen application and soil moisture levels have significant effects on the distribution and accumulation of soil nitrate in the P. tomentosa var. tomentosa stand. With the increase of nitrogen application rate, the soil nitrate shows a tendency to build up in the soil layer between 0-200 cm. With the increase of irrigation level, the soil nitrate accumulation peak tends to move downward gradually. Compared with the farmland ecosystem, the accumulation of nitrate between 0-200 cm in the forest ecosystem is lower. This indicates that in evaluation of soil nitrate distribution and accumulation, consideration should be given to the deep root system of the forest ecosystem. While, in order to reduce the leaching of nitrate nitrogen, it is recommended to reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer and control the field water holding capacity between 60% and 75%.

2019, 32(6): 31-39. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2019.06.005
Abstract:
Objective To quantitatively analyze the seasonal change of leaf mass per area (LMA) along canopy height for different aged moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) in natural and drought stress growth environment, and to clarify the response characteristics of LMA to the throughfall exclusion for drought stress, aiming at providing references for sustainable and efficient management of Ph. edulis plantations under the global climate background. Method The spatial and temporal dynamic change of LMA is detected for moso bamboo under two different treatments with rain shelter or not. Result (1) Regardless of throughfall exclusion or not, the LMA increased with the age of bamboo during different growing seasons, and the seasonal change trend from maximum to minimum was spring, winter, autumn and then summer in turn. There were significant differences of LMA among different seasons and treatments for the same age of bamboo (P < 0.05), regardless of throughfall exclusion or not. (2) Regardless of throughfall exclusion or not, the differences of LMA were not significant among canopy for various ages of bamboo, while it was significant among seasons within the same canopy. In natural growth condition, the LMA of each season increased along with the canopy height and its vertical change showed the trend of the upper canopy > middle canopy > lower canopy successively, and the value of each canopy decreased at first and then increased as the growing season. There was significant difference among different seasons (P < 0.01) for LMA of different ages of bamboo, while there was no significant difference among different canopy layers under throughfall exclusion. (3) Under the drought stress, the annual average value and each individual value of the LMA were all higher than the control in every season. The drought stress relieved seasonal difference of LMA in various canopy. The seasonal change of the LMA within the same canopy was also affected by age of bamboo. (4) With or without drought stress, there was linear positive correlation between the LMA and soil water content in each season, but the correlation under drought stress was lower than that of the control. The positive correlation between LMA and ages of bamboo under drought stress was higher than that of the control. Conclusion It is concluded that moso bamboo belongs to the species with lower LMA, and the growth season has significant effect on the change of LMA. Compared with the light, the soil moisture condition has more important influence on the LMA of the moso bamboo.

2019, 32(6): 40-47. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2019.06.006
Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of different thinning intensity on tree growth and identify the key soil factors affecting forest growth. Method Twelve thinning test plots and control plots were set up in the Larix principis-rupprechtii plantation with mild (thinning intensity 15%), moderate (thinning intensity 35%), severe (thinning intensity 50%) thinning in Haodifang Forest Farm in Qinyuan County, Shanxi Province, and take the average DBH, average tree height, average branch height, average crown width, tree layer biomass and productivity as the tree growth indicators. Variance analysis and multiple comparisons were used to analyze the growth characteristics in the stands with different thinning intensities, and were combined with soil factor to study the relationship between forest growth and soil factors by utilizing correlation analysis. Result The tree-growth index of the L. principis-rupprechtii plantation significantly increased compared with the control after two and four years of moderate and severe thinning. Thinning significantly increased the productivity of the arbor layer while reduced the biomass of the arbor layer in the stand. The productivity of arbor layer in all the period and thinning intensities followed the pattern of severe thinning > moderate thinning > mild thinning > the control. Thinning increased the content of soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total nitrogen (TN) and soil total phosphorus (TP), and reduced the loss of soil nutrients. The average DBH growth of L. principis-rupprechtii plantation was significantly positively correlated with SOC and TN. The average crown growth was significantly positively correlated with soil water content, SOC, TN and TP. Conclusion Thinning can promote the growth of DBH and crown width of individual trees in L. principis-rupprechtii plantation and increase the ratio of crown to diameter and productivity of individual trees. Among the three thinning intensities, the severe thinning intensity is the optimal. Soil organic carbon and soil total nitrogen content in L. principis-rupprechtii plantations are abundant, the soil total phosphorus content is less, and the soil pH is weakly acidic. SOC, TN, TP are crucial factors affecting the growth of L. principis-rupprechtii plantation.

The succession trend and the influence factors of diversity were analyzed. Result The main succession species in P. massoniana plantation is Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl, Ilex chinensis Sims, Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook., Melia azedarach L. and Quercus glandulifera Bl. The biodiversity index of overstory layer and succession layer in P. massoniana plantation increased with the age class. The light transmittance had a significant influence on diversity in regeneration layer (P < 0.01) and succession layer (P < 0.05). The overstory density was correlated to density of seedlings and young trees (P < 0.05). Conclusion The climax community will be I. chinensis Sims + Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl + Q. glandulifera Bl. mixed community. The natural regeneration ability in research area is weak. In some area the administrators could assist the natural regeneration by planting broadleaved tree seedlings.

Abstract:
Objective To further understand the mechanism of nitrogen regulation on root respiration of Juglans regia 'Wen185', the main walnut cultivar in South Xinjiang Basin. Method J. regia 'Wen185' was used as experimental material to study the effect of different nitrogen application levels on the fine root respiration rate and related enzyme activity during the growth and development of walnut. Field fertilizer experiment setting and in vitro root determination method were conducted to analyse the fine root's respiration rate (Q) and glycolytic pathway (EMP), Citric acid cycle Pathway (TCA), pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) respiratory rate and the dynamics of phosphofructokinase (PFK), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) activity, as well as the fine root respiration rate and the correlation between enzyme activity under different nitrogen levels. Result With the changes of post-flowering time, the respiration rate of Q, TCA and PPP generally decreased, while the respiration rate of EMP increased at first and then decreased. The respiratory rates of TCA, EMP and PPP accounted for 40.23%, 33.02% and 20.47% of Q respectively. When the nitrogen level (pure quantity) was N2, the respiration rate of Q and TCA, PPP and EMP, as well as the activity of MDH, G-6-PDH and PFK were significantly higher than that of the other nitrogen application levels(P < 0.05). Conclusion TCA pathway respiratory rate occupies a higher proportion in the basic respiratory rate than EMP and PPP pathway. Proper application of nitrogen application levels could improve MDH and PFK activity, and promote root respiration of walnut, and be beneficial to the growth of walnut. Extremely low and high nitrogen application would inhibit root respiration rate and even adversely affect the growth of walnut.

2019, 32(6): 63-72. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2019.06.009
Abstract:
Objective To investigate the carbon and nitrogen metabolism of Populus seedlings under different nitrogen levels. Method Populus alba×P. glandulosa seedlings were treated with high (16 mmol/L N), normal (4 mmol/L N) and low (1 mmol/L N) nitrogen levels, respectively. The growth, carbon and nitrogen metabolism of Populus alba×P. glandulosa seedlings under the three nitrogen supply levels were analyzed. Result High nitrogen led to increased net photosynthetic rate, sucrose content in root, starch content and biomass in the leaves, promoted the carbon metabolism in P. alba×P. glandulosa. Meanwhile, the absorption and accumulation of NH4+ and NO3- in the roots, GOGAT activities in the roots and leaves, the amino acid contents and total N contents were elevated under high nitrogen levels compared with that under normal nitrogen supply, which resulted in enhanced nitrogen metabolism in P. alba×P. glandulosa. In contrast, low nitrogen treatment brought about reduced net photosynthetic rate and the contents of most soluble sugars and starch in leaves, inhibited the carbon metabolism in P. alba×P. glandulosa. Additionally, low nitrogen supply also induced the decreases of NH4+ and NO3- contents in the roots and leaves, decreased the nitrate reductase activities in the roots, and the contents of amino acid and total N in the roots and leaves, leading to inhibited nitrogen metabolism in P. alba×P. glandulosa. Conclusion The carbon metabolism of P. alba×P. glandulosa is highly linked with nitrogen metabolism in response to changing nitrogen levels in the environments. Carbon and nitrogen metabolism is enhanced when nitrogen supply is abundant, and both are inhibited under nitrogen deficiency condition.

2019, 32(6): 80-89. doi: 10.13275/j.cnki.lykxyj.2019.06.011
Abstract:
Objective Populus purdomii is one of the native host of Melampsora laricio-populina. DNA methylation may change the epigenetic rust resistance of P. purdomii. The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanism of poplar rust resistance. Method Different concentrations of methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) water solutions were applied to culture the 1-year-old P. purdomii seedlings, and urediospore suspensions with the same concentration were artificially inoculated on the abxial of leaves. Hereafter, epigenetic traits under various treatments were recorded consecutively, including the uredial density, the latent period, the plant mortality, the rate of leaf spots and curling symptoms. A spectrophotometric method was employed for monitoring the changes of the defense enzyme activities, involving SOD, CAT, POD and PPO during MMS treatments. Result MMS caused leaf curling, leaf blackness spots and even plant death with a positive correlation between the incidence and the MMS concentration, meanwhile, MMS also provided an chance for health seedlings survival under MMS treatments, the resistant seedlings displayed a more greener leaf and more thicker mesophyll tissues. Importantly, MMS treatment promoted the resistance of P. purdomii to M. larici-populina, the latent period of the pathogens was delayed for 1 to 2 days than that of the control group, the density of uredia decreased significantly with MMS concentration, and the activity of defense enzymes of the poplars changed correspondingly. Under the MMS treatments, the activities of SOD and POD tended to be down-regulated compared with the control group, CAT and PPO tended to be up-regulated, and the activity of POD and PPO was affected the most. However, during the infection of rust disease, all the four kinds of defense enzymes showed a relative trend of rising at first and then falling during MMS treatments. Among them, PPO showed a significant positive correlation with rust disease resistance (P=0.024). Conclusion MMS treatment will change the epigenetics by improving the quantitative rust resistance of Populus purdomii via delaying the latent period, decreasing uredial density and changing self-defense enzyme activity.

Objective To study the oil accumulation and the changes of mineral elements in the pecan (Carya illinoinensis) fruit during the late development stage, and provide a theoretical basis for further research on the transformation and regulation of pecan oil. Method The pecan varieties 'Mahan' and 'No. 28' were used as experimental materials. Through studying the fruit quality, the oil transformation and the dynamic change of crude fat content, fatty acid composition and mineral elements content in different part of fruit in the later stage of fruit development, the relationship between oil accumulation and mineral elements was investigated. Result The results showed that the unsaturated fatty acid content of fruit kernel increased and then decreased in the later stage of pecan fruit development. The crude fat content and fatty acid content of fruit kernel were different with fruit development, for 'No. 28', the crude fat content in fruit kernel increased continuously, while for 'Mahan', after increasing, the crude fat content showed a slight decreasing trend. The content of oleic acid and stearic acid increased, while the arachidic acid and palmitic acid decreased gradually. The content of linoleic acid and linolenic acid increased at first and then decreased in 'Mahan', but decreased in 'No. 28'. There was a significant or extremely significant negative correlations between the crude fat accumulation and the mineral elements content such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium in fruit kernels. Conclusion The fat content in fruit kernel increases and the fatty acid composition in the oil changes with the development, and There is a tendency of conversion from saturated fatty acid to unsaturated fatty acid. There are differences among varieties in the changes of crude fat content of fruit kernel and fatty acid content of oil during the development of fruit. The contents of mineral elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium in the late stage of pecan fruit development are significantly correlated with the accumulation of oil, and these mineral elements may play a role in the accumulation of oil and fatty acid transformation of pecan fruits.

Abstract:
Grassland is a major component and important resource of terrestrial ecosystem and has important production and ecological functions. However, the grassland in China has faced with severe ecological problems such as water resource shortage and vegetation degradation due to global climate change and long-term irrational utilization, which poses a serious threat to the stability of ecosystem. Therefore, quantitatively studying the hydrologic cycle of grassland ecosystem provides important application value and significant guidance for the protection and sustainable development of grassland ecosystem. Stable isotopes of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are natural tracers in water body and plant tissue, with high sensitivity and accuracy. Stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen can be used to systematically and quantitatively clarify the hydrologic cycle and processes of grassland ecosystem, the conversion relationship between water bodies, the water use strategy of plants and the response mechanism of vegetation to global climate change. In this article, the basic concept and principle of stable isotopes are reviewed. The research methods for examining the hydrologic cycle of grassland ecosystems and their application are summarized and analyzed. Progresses in the application of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes in the hydrologic process of grassland ecosystem are extensively discussed, including atmospheric precipitation, runoff, soil water, groundwater, water source for plants, and evaporation, and the application of carbon stable isotope in plant water use efficiency. The problems and future researches of stable isotope techniques in the study of hydrologic cycle are discussed and analyzed.

Abstract:
Objective The temporal variations of appearance, nutrition and eating quality of Phyllostachys prominens shoots at different harvest time were analyzed aiming at providing reference for the cultivation and production of high quality bamboo shoots. Method The appearance quality, nutrient quality and eating quality of bamboo shoots harvested at different times (1 day, 2 days and 3 days after unearthed and unearthed) were investigated. Result The harvest time significantly affected the length, weight, and the contents of fat, vitamin C, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and lignose, tannin, oxalic acid, total flavone in bamboo shoots (P < 0.05), but less affected the content of protein, soluble sugar, starch, sucrose, and cellulose (P>0.05), and no significant difference was found in the content of other amino acids, essential amino acids, total amino acid, flavored amino acids and the proportion of essential amino acids, flavored amino acids in bamboo shoots harvested at different time too(P>0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that there are obvious temporal variation in the appearance quality and eating quality of Phyllostachys prominens shoots after unearthed, the main influential components of eating quality are lignose, tannin, oxalic acid, total flavone, the effect of harvest time on flavor amino acids is small. Nutritional quality changed to some extents. Therefore, from the viewpoint of high quality bamboo shoot production, bamboo shoots within 1 day after unearthed should be harvested in time.

Abstract:
Objective To study the changes of key endogenous substances during flowering process in Luculia gratissima 'Xiangfei' and try to provide references for artificial regulating of flowering time. Method The buds from various stages, including vegetative growth phase, undifferentiation phase, bract primordium differentiation phase, inflorescence primordium differentiation phase and small flower primordium differentiation phase, were selected, the content of IAA, ABA, GA3, ZT, soluble sugar and soluble protein were determined at the five stages, and the role of endogenous substances for flowering of L. gratissima 'Xiangfei' under induced photoperiod were analyzed and compared with non-induced photoperiod. Result GA3 was not detected at the five phases because of its extremely low content. The content of soluble sugar, ZT, and the ratio of soluble sugar/protein was the highest at the vegetative growth phase, and gradually decreased with the advancement of floral transition process under the inductive photoperiod. The content of soluble protein was in medium level at the vegetative growth phase, the highest at the undifferentiation and inflorescence primordium differentiation phase, and the lowest at the bract and small flower primordium differentiation phase. The IAA content was the highest at the vegetative growth phase among these stages. Although it increased at inflorescence primordium differentiation phase under the inductive photoperiod, its level was still lower than that of the vegetative growth phase. The ABA content and ABA/ZT ratio was the lowest at the vegetative growth phase, and increased gradually with the advancement of floral transition process, and then decreased at small flower primordium differentiation phase. The ratio of ABA/IAA increased gradually during flowering process. The ZT/IAA ratio increased drastically before bract primordium differentiation phase, then decreased later, and stayed at certain levels lower than that of vegetative growth phase. Conclusion Compared with the non-induced photoperiod, higher levels of ABA, ABA/IAA and ABA/ZT, and lower levels of IAA, ZT, soluble sugar and soluble sugar/protein are beneficial to flowering of L. gratissima 'Xiangfei' under the induced photoperiod. Higher level of ZT/IAA could benifit the floral physiological differentiation, and lower level is beneficial to the floral morphological differentiation.
