摘要:

固沙植物种子萌发和幼苗生长是土地荒漠化治理的决定性环节,土壤水分是影响该环节的主要限制因子。本研究通过室内盆栽实验,以花棒(Hedysarum scoparium)、柠条锦鸡儿(Caragana korshinskii)和沙蒿(Artemisia desertorum)为研究对象,比较分析了不同水分梯度处理下(4%、6%、8%、10%、15%、20%和25%)3种固沙植物的种子萌发特性与幼苗生长过程中的表型特征差异,探讨固沙植物种子萌发和幼苗生长对土壤水分变化的响应。结果表明:(1) 随着土壤水分的增加,3种固沙植物的种子萌发特性均存在显著差异(P<0.05)。萌发率均随土壤水分的增加表现出先增加后降低的趋势。其中,花棒在土壤水分为15%、20%时萌发率最高,均为83%;柠条锦鸡儿在土壤水分为10%时萌发率最高,为73%;沙蒿种子萌发率在土壤水分为15%时达到最大值77.5%,随后慢慢降低,但变化不显著。(2) 3种植物的叶面积和根长均随土壤水分的增加呈现先增加后降低的趋势,比叶面积和根冠比呈现先降低后增加的趋势。(3) 花棒、柠条锦鸡儿、沙蒿幼苗分别在土壤水分为10%、8%、20%时生物量最高,分别为0.0733 g、0.1142 g和0.0363 g,且地上生物量显著高于地下生物量(P<0.05),但柠条锦鸡儿幼苗对地下生物量分配较花棒和沙蒿更高。(4) 3种固沙植物的SOD活性、POD活性、CAT活性、Pro含量、SS含量以及Chl含量均随土壤水分的增加呈先增高后降低的趋势,而MDA含量、膜透性以及相对含水量呈先降低后升高的趋势。基于以上结果,通过隶属函数法分析得出3种固沙植物分别在土壤水分为15%、8%和8%时幼苗长势最好。因此,后续采用这3种固沙植物进行植被恢复时,除考虑种子自身性状外,还应充分考虑由降雨条件引起的土壤水分的变化,以提高出苗率和幼苗生长的成功率。

Abstract:

Seed germination and the seedling growth of sand-fixing plants are decisive aspects of land desertification management, and soil moisture is the main limiting factor affecting these aspects. In this study, we compared and analyzed the seed germination of three sand-fixing plants under different moisture gradients (4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) in an indoor potting experiment using Hedysarum scoparium, Caragana korshinskii, and Artemisia desertorum to investigate the response of seed germination and seedling growth of sand-fixing plants to changes soil in moisture. The results showed that: (1) significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in the seed germination characteristics of the three sand-fixing plants as the soil moisture increased. The germination rates tended to increase and then decrease as the soil moisture increased. C. scoparium had the highest germination rate at 15% and 20% soil moisture (83.00% in both); C. korshinskii had the highest germination rate at 10% soil moisture (73.00%); and the seed germination rate of A. desertorum reached the maximum value of 77.50% at 15% soil moisture, and then slowly decreased, although the change was not significant. (2) The leaf area and root length of the three plants showed tended to first increase and then decrease as the soil moisture increased, and the specific leaf area and root:crown ratio tended to decrease and then increase. (3) The highest biomass of C. scoparium, C. korshinski, and A. desertorum seedlings was 0.0733 g, 0.1142 g, and 0.0363 g at 10%, 8%, and 20% soil moisture, respectively, and the aboveground biomass was significantly higher than the belowground biomass (P<0.05), although the allocation of belowground biomass by C. korshinski seedlings was higher than that of C. scoparium and A. desertorum. (4) The SOD activity, POD activity, CAT activity, Pro content, SS content, and Chl content of the three sand-fixing plants tended to increase and then decrease as the soil moisture increased, whereas the MDA content, membrane permeability, and relative water content tended to decrease and then increase. Based on the above results, it was concluded that the three sand-fixing plants of C. scoparium, C. korshinski, and A. desertorum had the best seedling growth at 15%, 8% and 8% soil moisture, respectively, through the analysis of the affiliation function method. Therefore, when these three sand-fixing plants are used for vegetation restoration, the changes in soil moisture caused by rainfall conditions should be fully considered in addition to the seeds’ own traits to improve the seedling emergence rate and the success of seedling growth.
