چکیده

Plants of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) were acclimated for 2 years under ambient (350 μmol mol -1 ) and elevated (700 μmol mol -1 ) CO 2 concentrations ([CO 2]). In the summer of the second growing season, the plants were subjected to a soil drying cycle for 6 days. Drought reduced plant transpiration rate and net CO 2 assimilation rate (A) by about 80 %. Elevated [CO,] induced a substantial increase of A (+105 % and +229 % in well-watered and in droughted plants, respectively) and of the needle starch (+145 %) and sucrose (+20 %) concentrations, whatever the watering regime. Drought did not significantly affect starch and sucrose concentrations, while hexose concentrations were slightly increased in the most severe drought condition (predawn water potential value equal to -1.5 MPa). The stimulating effect of elevated [CO,] on A was maintained along the drying cycle, whereas no significant CO 2 effect was observed on the soluble carbohydrate concentration. These compounds did not contribute to an enhancement of osmotic adjustment under elevated [CO 2] in P. pinaster.

Des semis de pin maritime (Pinus pinaster Ait.) ont été acclimatés pendant deux ans à 350 et à 700 μmol mol -1 de concentrations en CO 2atmosphérique [CO,]. Au cours de l’été de la deuxième saison de croissance, les plants ont été soumis à un dessèchement du sol pendant 6 j. La sécheresse a réduit d’environ 80 % la transpiration de la plante entière et l’assimilation nette de CO 2 (A). L’enrichissement en CO, de l’air a induit une augmentation marquée de l’assimilation nette de CO, (+105 % et +229 % en conditions de bonne alimentation hydrique et de sécheresse, respectivement), ainsi que des concentrations en amidon (+145 %) et en saccharose (+20 %), quelle que soit l’alimentation hydrique. Le traitement sécheresse n’a pas significativement affecté les concentrations en amidon et en saccharose, tandis que les concentrations en hexoses ont légèrement augmenté en condition de sécheresse sévère (valeur du potentiel hydrique de base égale à -1.5 MPa). L’effet stimulant de la [CO 2] sur A était maintenu au cours du dessèchement du sol, alors que cela n’était pas observé pour la concentration en glucides solubles. Ces composés ne contribuent pas à une augmentation de l’ajustement osmotique par l’enrichissement en CO 2 de l’air chez P. pinaster.

Leaf gas exchange responses of 13 prairie grassland species to elevated CO 2 and increased nitrogen supply

• Leaf gas exchange responses to elevated CO 2 and N are presented for 13 perennial species, representing four functional groups: C 3 grasses, C 4 grasses, legumes, and nonleguminous forbs. Understanding how CO 2 and N effects interact is important to predict plant community response to global change. • Plants were field-grown in monoculture under current ambient and elevated (560 μ mol mol − 1...

The impact of prolonged flood-irrigation on leaf gas exchange in mature pecans in an orchard setting

Woody perennials subjected to root oxygen-stress often respond with varying levels of reduced assimilation and leaf gas exchange. Yet in most of these studies, seedlings grown in pots were subjected to experimental conditions that rarely exist in nature for mature trees. To determine if flooding mature orchard-grown pecan (Carya illinoiensis (Wangh) K. Koch) results in a similar depressed photo...

Assessment of mycorrhizal colonisation and soil nutrients in unmanaged fire-impacted soils from two target restoration sites

The mycorrhizal colonisation of plants grown in unmanaged soils from two restoration sites with a fire history in Northern Portugal was evaluated from the perspective of supporting restoration programmes. To promote restoration of original tree stands, Quercus ilex L. and Pinus pinaster Ait. were used as target species on two sites, denoted Site 1 and 2 respectively. The aim of the study was to...

Acclimation of leaf hydraulic conductance and stomatal conductance of Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) to long-term growth in elevated CO(2) (free-air CO(2) enrichment) and N-fertilization.

We investigated how leaf hydraulic conductance (K(leaf)) of loblolly pine trees is influenced by soil nitrogen amendment (N) in stands subjected to ambient or elevated CO(2) concentrations (CO(2)(a) and CO(2)(e), respectively). We also examined how K(leaf) varies with changes in reference leaf water potential (Psi(leaf-ref)) and stomatal conductance (g(s-ref)) calculated at vapour pressure defi...

We used whole-tree, open-top chambers to expose 13-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees, growing in soil with high or low nutrient availability, to either ambient or elevated (ambient + 200 µmol mol –1) carbon dioxide concentration ([CO 2 ]) for 28 months. Branch growth and morphology , foliar chemistry and gas exchange characteristics were measured periodically in the upper, middle an...
