Photosynthesis of Digitaria ciliaris during repeated soil drought and rewatering

The ability of psammophyte photosynthesis to withstand and recover from severe droughts is crucial for vegetation sta- bility in semi-arid sandy lands. The responses of gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence of an annual grass, Digitaria ciliaris, were measured through three soil drought and rewatering cycles. Results showed that the net photosynthesis rate （P,） decreased by 92%, 95%, and 63% at end of the three drought periods, respectively, water use efficiency （WUE） decreased by 67%, 54%, and 48%, while the constant intercellular CO2 concentration （Ci） increased by 1.08, 0.88, and 0.45 times. During those three cycles, the trapping probability with no dark adaptation （Fv＇/Fm＇） decreased by 55%, 51%, and 9%, the electron transport per cross section （ET0＇/CS0＇） decreased by 63%0, 42%, and 18%, and the dissipation per cross section （DI0＇/CS0＇） increased by 97%, 96%, and 21%. These results indicated that D. ciliaris was subjected to photoinhi- bition and some non-stomatal limitation of photosynthesis under drought. However, after four days of rewatering, its photosynthetic characteristics were restored to control values. This capability to recover from drought may contribute to making the plant＇s use of water as efficient as possible. Furthermore, the photosynthesis decreased more slowly in the subsequent drought cycles than in the first cycle, allowing D. ciliaris to enhance its future drought tolerance after drought hardening. Thus, it acclimatizes itself to repeated soil drought.

Effect of Soil Drought on C4 Photosynthetic Enzyme Activities of Flag Leaf and Ear in Wheat

The activities of RuBPC and C4 photosynthetic enzymes in ear and flag leaf blade were examined in wheat. The results showed that photosynthesis of ear was less sensitive to soil drought than that of flag leaf, and decrease of CO2 assimilation in flag leaf blade with water stress was more than that in ear. Compared with flag leaf, ear organs (awn, glume and lemma) had higher C4 enzyme activities and lower RuBPC activity. Under moderate water-stress, the increase of C4 enzyme activities was induced, and the increase was higher in ear than in flag leaf. Under severe water-stress, relatively higher C4 enzyme activities were still maintained in ear, rather than that in flag leaf. It suggests that high activities of C4 enzymes in ear may contribute to its high tolerance of photosynthesis to water-stress.

Characteristics of water relations in seedling of Machilus yunnanensis and Cinnamomum camphora under soil drought condition

The soil drought stress experiment in different durations (no watering within 3d, 6d, 9d, 11d individually) was conducted to study the drought-resistant capacity of one-year-old seedlings for the native tree species (Machilus yunnanensis) in Yunnan Province and the introduced tree species (Cinnamomum camphora). The leaf water potential, chlorophyll content, proline content and plasma membrane permeability for two species seedlings were measured in different soil drought conditions. The results showed that, on the 9th day of drought stress, the leaf water potential of two species decreased obviously, whereas the free proline content and plasma membrane permeability increased sharply. On the 11th day, the leaf water potential of C. camphora seedlings was lower than that of M. yunnanensis seedlings; the plasma membrane permeability in C. camphora seedling leaves increased much more than that in M. yunnanensis seedling leaves, which showed that the injury to the former by soil drought stress was more severe than that to the latter. The free proline content in M. yunnanensis seedling leaves continued to increase on the 11th day, but that in the C. camphora seedling leaves started to drop obviously, indicating that the reduction of osmotic regulation substance in C. camphora seedling leaves after the 11th day was unable to maintain the osmotic balance between the plasma system and its surroundings and the water loss occurred inevitably. Comprehensively, M. yunnanensis seedlings enhanced the drought-resistance in the course of soil drought stress by maintaining higher leaf water potential and by increasing osmotic regulation substance to promote cell plasma concentration and maintain membrane structure integrity so as to reduce water loss. The subordination function index evaluated with fuzzy mathematic theory also showed that the drought-resistant capacity of M. yunnanensis seedlings was stronger than that of C. camphora seedlings.

Responses of ABA and CTK to soil drought in leafless and leafy apple tree

The authors tested the contents of ABA (abscisic acid) , ZR (zeatin riboside), DHZR (dihydrozeatin riboside) and iPA (isopentenyl adenosine) in leafless and leafy apple trees ( Red Fufi/Malus micromalus Makino) during soil drought stress. ABA concentration in drought stressed leafless trees increased significantly compared to the controls. ABA both in roots and xylem rose steadily in the earlier drought stage, reaching a maximum of 1.46 ± 0.35 nmol g^-1 FW and 117 nmol l^-1 after the 8th day. Similar change patterns of ABA concentration was observed in the leafy trees during soil drought stress; ABA concentrations in roots and xylem sap increased and reached the maximum in the first three days; after 8th day , it decreased slightly, whereas leaf ABA concentration increased steadily in drought stressed plants throughout the duration of the experiment.Between drought stressed and control trees, no significant differences were observed in concentration of ZR and DHZR in both leafless and leafy trees ; whereas iPA concentration of the drought stressed leafless and leafy plants decreased markedly in the later stage of drought. These results showed that endogenous ABA originated mainly from the roots in the earlier drought stage, and mainly from the leaves in the later drought stage. Total CTK showed no reduction in the earlier drought stage and decreased in the later drought stage.

Response of soil respiration to a severe drought in Chinese Eucalyptus plantations

Extreme droughts can adversely affect the dynamics of soil respiration in tree plantations. We used a severe drought in southwestern China as a case study to estimate the effects of drought on temporal variations in soil respiration in a plantation of Eucalyptus globulus. We documented a clear seasonal pattern in soil respiration with the highest values (100.9 mg C-CO2 m(-2) h(-1)) recorded in June and the lowest values (28.7 mg C-CO2 m(-2) h(-1)) in January. The variation in soil respiration was closely associated with the dynamics of soil water driven by the drought. Soil respiration was nearly twice as great in the wet seasons as in the dry seasons. Soil water content accounted for 83-91% of variation in soil respiration, while a combined soil water and soil temperature model explained 90-99% of the variation in soil respiration. Soil water had pronounced effects on soil respiration at the moisture threshold of 6-10%. Soil water was strongly related to changes in soil parameters (i.e., bulk density, pH, soil organic carbon, and available nitrogen). These strongly influenced seasonal variation in soil respiration. We found that soil respiration was strongly suppressed by severe drought. Drought resulted in a shortage of soil water which reduced formation of soil organic carbon, impacted soil acid-base properties and soil texture, and affected soil nutrient availability.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Soil Moisture Drought over China during 2008-2016

Drought has been analyzed by various indices based on rainfall, temperature, evapotranspiration or soil moisture data. Remoste-sensing based data has spatial continuity with certain resolution and is useful for drought monitor. The purpose of this study was to investigate quality used of grid relative soil moisture, the spatial and temporal variation of soi moisture, and soil moisture drought based on relative soil moisture over China during 2008-2016. The results show that the relative soil moisture data set can reflect the spatial characteristics of the development of drought in China during 2008-2016. From the spatial distribution analysis, the northwest to northeast, south part of China, and other major arid areas, the performance is particularly evident. The results show that the use of CLDAS V1.0 real-time products, access to time and space continuous soil relative humidity products, can achieve the drought in China real-time

Effects of Irrigation on Soil and Wheat Yield under Drought Conditions in Sichuan

In order to study the effective water-saving cultivation of wheat in Sichuan under drought conditions to reduce grain loss,the effects of different irrigation methods（ natural rainfall,artificial irrigation,and infiltrating irrigation） on soil physical characteristics and main agronomic characters and yield of wheat were analyzed. The results showed that different irrigation treatments at different growth stages had different effects on soil physical characteristics and agronomic characters of wheat. At the seedling and jointing stage,there were small differences between the treatments in soil compactness,soil bulk density,and soil water content. At the flowering and maturation stage,different irrigation treatments had great impacts on soil compactness,soil bulk density,soil water content,and agronomic characters of wheat. In the hilly areas of Sichuan Basin,infiltrating irrigation at the jointing stage was the best,and wheat yield increased significantly,2 113. 46 kg/hm^2 higher than that in the control.

Detection of a Real Time Remote Sensing Indices and Soil Moisture for Drought Monitoring and Assessment in Jordan

Drought monitoring represents a challenge for water and agricultural sector as this natural hazard accelerates water deficiency and leads to adverse environmental and socioeconomic impacts. The use of remote sensing data and geospatial techniques to monitor and map drought severity expanded in the last decades with progressive developments in data sources and processing. This study investigates the correlations among drought indices derived with soil moisture stress (K) obtained from ground data collected from fields cultivated with barley. The study, carried out in Yarmouk basin in the north of Jordan, includes NDVI, PDI, MPDI and PVI derived from Landsat 8-OLI and Sentinel 2-MSI. Results showed different behavior among the indices and throughout the 2016/2017 growing season, with maximum correlation between PDI and MPDI followed by NDVI with PVI. Correlations among the remote sensing indices and K for different soil depths during March-April were significant for most indices with a maximum (R2) of 0.82 for K30-50 and MPDI, followed by K30-50 with NDVI. Drought severity maps for the month of March showed different trends for the different indices, with similarities between MPDI and PDI. The map of drought severity combined from the remote sensing indices and K showed that PDI and soil moisture could significantly explain 56% of variations in spatial patterns of drought, while the combination of MPDI, PDI and NDVI could significantly explain up to 59% of variations in drought severity map. Therefore, the study recommends the adoption of these remotely sensed indices for monitoring and mapping of agricultural droughts.

改进温度植被干旱指数(Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index,TVDI)并明确TVDI的农业干旱等级阈值,对提高TVDI指数监测农业干旱能力有重要意义。利用近19 a的MODIS(Moderate Resolu⁃tion Imaging Spectro-radiometer,MODIS)遥感数据,基于单时次和多时次方法构建NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index,NDVI)-LST(Land Surface Temperature,LST)、EVI(Enhanced Vegetation In⁃dex,EVI)-LST、RVI(Ratio Vegetation Index,RVI)-LST、SAVI(Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index,SAVI)-LST等几种特征空间,讨论TVDI计算方法,分析TVDI在甘肃省农业干旱监测中的适用性,并明确甘肃省夏季TVDI农业干旱分级标准。结果表明:(1)基于多时次方法构建的SAVI-LST特征空间TVDI更适合甘肃省农业干旱监测,其对土壤相对湿度(Relative Soil Moisture,RSM)拟合的均方根误差(Root Mean Squared Error,RMSE)和平均绝对误差(Mean Absolute Error,MAE)比NDVI-LST特征空间TVDI对RSM拟合的RMSE和MAE下降1%~5%;(2)TVDI适用于夏季甘肃省半干旱区、半湿润区、湿润区等非干旱区浅层10、20 cm土壤深度的农业干旱监测,RMSE和MAE约15.6%和12.6%,拟合误差湿润区<半湿润区<半干旱区;(3)利用TVDI与RSM线性关系确定的TVDI农业干旱等级更有利于提高TVDI监测农业干旱的准确性。

为探究不同干旱水平在各生育期对夏大豆在砂姜黑土与黄潮土中的影响及差异,基于2022年五道沟实验站桶栽受旱试验,在夏大豆分枝期、花荚期、鼓粒成熟期通过水分控制,设置轻旱、中旱、重旱3个干旱水平与全生育期无旱对照(CK),分析各生育期不同干旱水平胁迫对夏大豆在两种土壤中耗水量、产量、水分利用效率(WUE)的影响及差异。结果表明:(1)两种土壤中夏大豆各生育阶段随干旱加重耗水量呈减小趋势,重旱减小最显著;砂姜黑土中耗水量各受旱组小于对照组,黄潮土除分枝期轻旱外耗水量均低于对照组,且耗水量减少水平除鼓粒成熟期轻旱均小于砂姜黑土。(2)两种土壤重旱对产量影响最强烈,鼓粒成熟期重旱减产最严重;黄潮土花荚期不同受旱水平减产率均低于砂姜黑土,分枝期各受旱组砂姜黑土减产率低于黄潮土。(3)两种土壤花荚期、鼓粒成熟期WUE随干旱程度加剧呈明显递减趋势,重旱影响下WUE减小明显,鼓粒成熟期重旱对WUE影响最严重;受旱减产水平在不同生育阶段存在差异,使得花荚期黄潮土各处理组WUE均高于砂姜黑土,分枝期黄潮土WUE均低于砂姜黑土。

紫色土坡耕地耕层持水抗旱性能及生产力对侵蚀程度的响应

【目的】分析侵蚀条件下紫色土坡耕地耕层持水性能与产量响应特征,为调控坡耕地季节性干旱及水分利用效率、提升侵蚀条件下坡耕地玉米产量提供理论依据。【方法】采用铲土侵蚀模拟法,以未侵蚀地块为对照组(S_(-0)),对比分析5 cm(S_(-5))、10 cm(S_(-10))、15 cm(S_(-15))、20 cm(S_(-20))侵蚀程度和3种管理措施下(不施肥(CK)、施化肥(F)、生物炭+化肥(BF)),坡耕地耕层持水抗旱性能和玉米产量的年际变化特征及对侵蚀程度的响应。【结果】(1)坡耕地心土层土壤持水性能更强。在相同水平土壤水吸力下,耕作层土壤容积含水量降低幅度(13.9%—18.2%)较心土层更大(9.8%);随年际变化,土壤容积含水量在S_(-5)时增幅最大为耕作层(14.2%),而心土层表现为在S_(-15)最大(33.2%)。(2)坡耕地土壤总库容、兴利库容、最大有效库容及有效水分含量,随侵蚀加剧呈开口朝下的抛物线变化规律。随年际变化,各侵蚀程度下土壤最大有效库容最大增幅(44.7%)处于较强烈侵蚀程度(S_(-15)),而有效水分含量、最大储水量及单次接纳最大降雨量在微弱侵蚀程度下(S_(-0)至S_(-10))提升幅度最大。(3)坡耕地玉米产量随侵蚀加剧总体呈降低趋势,且与土壤最大有效库容、田间持水量有正相关关系;随年际变化,各侵蚀程度下坡耕地减产效果降低,且产量变化随侵蚀加剧呈一定滞后性,即侵蚀发生年产量无明显减产。(4)侵蚀条件下坡耕地土壤最大有效库容主要受土壤质地中黏粒含量、毛管孔隙度和有机质含量显著影响(P<0.01);而田间持水量与土层深度、有机质、粉粒及孔隙度呈极显著关系(P<0.01)。【结论】土壤持水抗旱性能的强弱主要受土壤结构优劣的影响。对坡耕地侵蚀耕层辅以深翻耕作和生物炭+化肥管理措施改善土壤结构,可有效调控坡耕地侵蚀性耕层持水抗旱性能,提升侵蚀条件下坡耕地作物产量。

干旱条件下淮北平原夏玉米根系水分来源研究

为探究干旱胁迫条件下淮北平原夏玉米生长期水分利用特征,分析农田降水-土壤水-作物水之间的转化规律。通过野外实验和室内分析,测定分析不同生长期内降水、土壤水、植物水、地下水的稳定氢氧同位素值。采用稳定氢氧同位素技术分析了各水体的同位素分布特征,利用直接对比法和多元线性混合模型法分析夏玉米对土壤水分的主要吸水深度及贡献率,进而研究其水分来源。结果表明,五道沟实验站夏季大气降水线方程为δD=7.26×δ^(18)O+3.11(R^(2)=0.98),其斜率和截距均小于全球大气降水线方程,表明降水在降落过程存在蒸发富集过程。土壤水氢氧同位素在垂直方向剖面呈现明显的梯度分布。干旱胁迫条件下,夏玉米拔节-抽雄期主要吸收0~20、20~40、40~60 cm处的土壤水,贡献率分别为21.8±13.6%、25.5±20%和25.1±18.2%;抽雄-灌浆期主要吸收0~20 cm处的土壤水,贡献率为68.6±3.6%;灌浆-成熟期主要吸收0~20 cm处的土壤水,贡献率为72.0±0.9%。夏玉米根系优先利用浅层土壤水,土壤水主要来自大气降水。地下水埋深较浅地区,干旱条件下夏玉米在整个生长期内根系吸水深度较浅,由此考虑生长期改变灌溉方式来提高灌溉水利用率。

草地生态系统土壤与植被对极端干旱的响应研究进展

全球气候变化背景下,极端干旱已被证实会对生态系统的结构和功能产生重要影响,特别是土壤与植被特征,但极端干旱对生态系统的影响程度因生态系统类型不同而存在较大差异。草地生态系统是我国最大的陆地生态系统,承载着牧区经济和生态可持续发展的重任,对降水格局变化高度敏感,因此,研究草原土壤与植被特征对极端干旱的响应,对认知自然生态系统的演变规律,预防和降低未来极端气候事件对生态环境和经济发展造成的损失具有重要意义。对草地生态系统土壤湿度、温度、养分、矿化、微生物,以及植被群落特征、植被物候、功能性状对极端干旱响应方面的研究进展进行综述,以期为研究全球气候变化条件下草地生态系统应对极端干旱气候的选择与适应提供参考。

双聚材料对干旱条件下多年生黑麦草幼苗生长的影响

干旱是限制工程创面植物生长发育的关键环境因子,双聚材料(Double polymers SJ)是用于边坡土体防渗固化的新型材料,对于工程扰损区植被恢复具有重要意义。本研究选择黑麦草(Lolium perenne L.)为研究材料,采用盆栽试验,分析不同干旱条件下SJ对黑麦草生长的影响,结果表明:中、重度干旱处理显著降低了黑麦草存活率、植株含水量及叶绿素含量,增加了植株·O^(2-)、H_(2)O_(2)、MDA等毒性物质的积累。添加SJ一方面提高了土壤的保水性(蒸发量减少约50%),另一方面显著增加了黑麦草植株的含水量和叶绿素含量,并降低了活性氧等有毒物质含量,有利于黑麦草生物量的积累及存活率的提高。因此,SJ的保水性及其对植物生长的促进作用,有利于干旱区工程边坡的生态修复。
