概括

树木保留了过去潮湿条件的结构特征,影响了未来的干旱适应能力. 年轻的树木,缺乏这种丰富的水资源遗产,可能更适合于不断变化的气候.

科学领域:

森林生态森林生态学
植物生理学植物生理学
适应气候变化适应气候变化

背景情况:

树木的生长和功能受到气候的影响,干旱给树木带来了很大的限制.
干旱可能会对植物产生持久的"遗留"影响,但过去丰富的水对叶子和枝条结构的影响尚不清楚.

研究的目的:

为了研究过去的水量丰富的长期结构遗产 *Pinus sylvestris* (苏格兰松树) 叶子和枝条.
为了确定在干森林环境中的实验灌是否在水供应恢复正常后,在树木上留下持久的结构印记.

主要方法:

一个长达18年的森林灌实验是在Pinus sylvestris*上进行的.
基于同步的X射线显微镜被用来分析叶子和枝条的47个解剖特征.
对照树,持续灌的树和以前灌的树 (灌后7年) 进行了比较.

主要成果:

实验性灌对新的叶子和枝条结构产生了持久的遗留效应,在水供应减少后仍然存在.
树枝结构遗留效应存在但正在减少,而叶子特征显示持续变化,有利于高水应力和低生产率的策略.

结论:

适应潮湿条件的成熟树在日益干燥的气候条件下可能处于不利地位,而与习惯干旱的年轻树相比.
年轻的树木,没有丰富的水的遗产,可能更好地适应干旱相关的森林衰退.
缺乏过去的水量丰富遗产可能会提高树木应对快速气候变化的能力.

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Responses to Drought and Flooding

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Meristems and Plant Growth

Meristems and Plant Growth

Plants grow throughout their lives; this is called indeterminate growth, and it distinguishes plants from most animals. Although certain parts of plants stop growing (e.g., leaves and flowers), others grow continuously—like roots and stems.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

The Water Cycle

The Water Cycle

The Earth’s hydrosphere includes all of the areas where the storage and movement of water occurs. Since water is the basis of all living processes, the cycling of water is extremely important to ecosystem dynamics.

Global Climate Change

Global Climate Change

Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Water and Mineral Acquisition

Water and Mineral Acquisition

Specialized tissues in plant roots have evolved to capture water, minerals, and some ions from the soil. Roots exhibit a variety of branching patterns that facilitate this process. The outermost root cells have specialized structures called root hairs that increase the root surface, thus increasing soil contact. Water can passively cross into roots, as the concentration of water in the soil is higher than that of the root tissue. Minerals, in contrast, are actively transported into root cells.
