塔里木河下游柽柳ABA累积对地下水位和土壤盐分的响应

Responses of Tamarix ramosissima ABA Accumulation to groundwater level and soil salt changes in the lower reaches of Tarim River

近年来发现在逆境下(干旱、低温、高温、盐渍等)的植物体内大量积累ABA,从而引导人们去研究ABA与植物抗逆性之间的关系。在塔里木河下游地区影响植被正常生长发育的各种胁迫因子中,地下水位和土壤盐分是导致"绿色走廊"衰败的主要因素。柽柳是塔里木河下游荒漠植被的主体,对于改善生态环境、遏制沙漠化、保护生物多样性等诸多方面具有重要作用。因此,研究柽柳和地下水位以及土壤盐分的关系,对于维护塔里木河流域天然植被赖以生存的环境,保护柽柳这一重要的生物资源,维持生态平衡的良性循环具有重要意义。运用国际通用软件SAS6.12对塔里木河下游柽柳ABA和地下水位以及土壤盐分进行相关分析表明,柽柳ABA含量与地下水位呈极显著正相关,相关系数R=0.80305(显著性程度P=0.0003);与土壤盐分呈显著负相关,相关系数R=-0.59036(显著性程度P=0.0205)。由各断面柽柳ABA含量变化与地下水位和土壤盐分关系分析结果可以初步推断:3.12m的地下水位和0.96g/L的土壤盐分已经威胁到柽柳的正常生长发育,地下水位超过5.59m、土壤盐分大于1.61g/L则会对柽柳造成严重胁迫。在恢复和保育塔里木河流域天然植被的过程中,应该把对植被造成胁迫的外界条件的成因和植被自身的抗旱、抗盐等抗逆特性结合起来进行考虑:根据耐旱耐盐植被的合理生态水(盐)位,在主河道两岸维持一定范围的地下水位,使乔木、灌木、草本植被能良好地生长,发挥多种生态功能,这样既可以避免水资源的浪费又能充分发挥生态输水的功效,有利于从根本上解决"绿色走廊"的问题。

The Tarim River, located in central Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is situated north of the Taklimakana Desert. A reduction in groundwater levels and a concomitant increase in soil salinity have reduced vegetation in lower reaches of the river. Tamarix a buffer between the desert ramosissima is one of the dominant plant species in this riparian system. This species provides and riparian zone and contributes significantly to ecosystem function and maintenance of biodiversity. Thus, an understanding of how T. ramosissima responds to changes in groundwater levels and soil necessary for ecological and economic management of this riparian system. We found Correlation Coefficient = 0. 80305） between T. ramosissima Abscisic Acid （ABA） and negative correlation between ABA and soil salt levels groundwater/salinity relationships we concluded that 3. the normal growth and development of T. ramosissima; （Pearson Correlation Coefficient 12 m subsurface groundwater lev greater than 5.59 m subsurface a positive correlation salinity is （ Pearson groundwater levels; there was a = 0. 00961 ）. From these ABA and 0.96 g/L soil salt can limit groundwater level and 1.61 g/L soil salt will strongly impede the normal development of T. ramosissima. So, we should take into account the resistance of plants to environmental stressors such as drought and salinity to keep the level of salt and groundwater on both sides of the main river within a range in which trees, shrubs, and herbs can grow well and perform various ecological functions. Such conservation practices not only avoid the waste of water resources, but will also contribute to efficient artificial waterrecharge, helping to maintain the Tarim River riparian zone and promote ＂green corridor＂ maintenance.
