However, plants at high elevations need to increase LMA against environmental stresses. Therefore, plants need to increase both LMA and photosynthesis at high elevations. To examine how deciduous plants maintain a positive carbon balance at high elevations, photosynthesis and related leaf traits for deciduous broad-leaved tree Betula ermanii were measured at three elevations. LMA was greater at middle and high elevations than at low elevation. Leaf δ13C was greater at higher elevations, and positively correlated with LMA, indicating greater long-term deficiency of CO2 in leaves at higher elevations. However, the Ci/Ca ratio at photosynthetic measurement was not low at high elevations. Nitrogen content per leaf mass and stomatal conductance were greater at higher elevations. Photosynthetic rates and photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) did not differ among the three elevations. Photosynthetic rate showed a strong positive correlation with stomatal conductance on a leaf area basis (R2 = 0.83, P < 0.001). Therefore, this study suggests B. ermanii compensates the deficiency of CO2 in leaves at high elevation by increasing stomatal conductance, and maintains photosynthesis and PNUE at high elevation as much as at low elevation.展开更多

These disputations among researchers were caused mainly by timeframe selection （sections＇ thickness or data of radiometric ages）, and different stratigraphic boundaries and un-upmost dated ages. This paper examined published ^87Sr/^86Sr data of the Lopingian, and projected them on timescales based on evolutionary and age constrained conodonts fossils. ^87Sr/^86Sr evolution vs fossil constraining timescales was re-established in this period. This research suggests： （1） ^87Sr/^86Sr excursion projects on fossil zones can truly support ^87Sr/^86Sr evolutionary pattern in the period; （2） ^87Sr/^86Sr evolution provides a new approach for stratigraphic research of marine carbonate sections in lieu of biostratigraphic data; （3） ^87Sr/^86Sr stratigraphy works on marine carbonate sections of different sedimentation rates even between different basins; （4） the ^875r/^86Sr data and its shift was dependent on samples materials and chemical treatment methods; （5） the increasing rate of marine water ^875r/^86Sr in the Late Permian is suggested as 5.4× 10^-5/Ma or slightly lower; （6） sedimentation age and its ^875r/^86Sr of the Lopingian marine carbonate suggested as： Dpro=259-（Rs- 0.70695）/5.4×10^-5 （Ma）.展开更多
