Based on these samples, we studied the geographical distribution patterns of vegetable water use efficiency (WUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and analyzed their relationship with environmental factors. The vegetable WUE and NUE were calculated through the measurement of foliar δ 13C and C/N of predominant species, respectively. The results showed: (1) vegetable WUE, ranging from 2.13 to 28.67 mg C g-1 H2O, increased linearly from south to north in the representative forest ecosystems along the NSTEC, while vegetable NUE showed an opposite trend, increasing from north to south, ranging from 12.92 to 29.60 g C g-1 N. (2) Vegetable WUE and NUE were dominantly driven by climate and significantly affected by soil nutrient factors. Based on multiple stepwise regression analysis, mean annual temperature, soil phosphorus concentration, and soil nitrogen concentration were responding for 75.5% of the variations of WUE (p0.001). While, mean annual precipitation and soil phosphorus concentration could explain 65.7% of the change in vegetable NUE (p0.001). Moreover, vegetable WUE and NUE would also be seriously influenced by atmospheric nitrogen deposition in nitrogen saturated ecosystems. (3) There was a significant trade-off relationship between vegetable WUE and NUE in the typical forest ecosystems along the NSTEC (p0.001), indicating a balanced strategy for vegetation in resource utilization in natural forest ecosystems along the NSTEC. This study suggests that global change would impact the resource use efficiency of forest ecosystems. However, vegetation could adapt to those changes by increasing the use efficiency of shortage resource while decreasing the relatively ample one. But extreme impacts, such as heavy nitrogen deposition, would break this trade-off mechanism and give a dramatic disturbance to the ecosystem biogeochemical cycle.展开更多

Based on the analysis of the characteristics and their contributions to NPP on the transect, the RS NPP distribution maps were created by zones and the quantitative models were established between NDVI maps and field measured NPP sample data collected from Central and South China for forest and cultivated land. Furthermore, the spatial distribution and quantitative result were obtained through an overlapping and fitting analysis between the NPP maps and DEM. The result shows that the NPP distribution features are not only distinguished on detail zonation of natural vegetation in vertical, latitudinal and longitudinal distribution but also reflected an obvious effect from the crop growing period of agricultural area. According to the results above, an opposite opinion was given that the NPP values for the forest and agricultural areas vary greatly in different regions, with the forest areas having a higher value than the agricultural areas in Southern China. In the Huang, Huai and Hai Plains, agricultural regions have higher NPP values than the surrounding low mountains. In Northeastern China, the NPP values form a gradient across the mid-to-high mountain forest zone to plains and low mountain areas. Further, for most of the agricultural areas, NPP values range between 25—35 t·hm2·a-1 and do not show significant areal differentiation.展开更多
