The exogenous liquid introduction technology is an effective way to produce the value-added poplar wood with excellent pattern color. This technology was used to add the various concentrated active red dyeing solution (0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6%) into target trees of six-year-old 107 poplar (Populus ×euramericana cv. '74/76'). find more The photosynthetic gas exchange parameter and sap flow rate were measured by Li-6400 photosynthetic instrument and TDP stem flowmeter, respectively. We analyzed the relationship between photosynthetic parameters, sap flow rate and dye absorption, and the effects of exogenous dye solution on the photosynthetic physiology and sap flow characteristics. The results showed that exogenous dyeing solution significantly inhibited flow rate of poplar trunks. The 0.2% concentrated liquid was far less effective than others (0.4% and 0.6%). The net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (Tr) of poplars treated with different concentrated dyeing liquids were significantly lower than the control poplar. The intercellular carbon dioxide concentration (Ci) decreased first and then increased. The inhibitory effects of 0.4% and 0.2% concentrated dyeing solutions on photosynthesis were stronger than that of 0.6%. Dye absorption decreased with increasing dye concentration. The maximum liquid flow rate, Pn, gs and Tr were significantly negatively correlated with the dye content. The contents of chlorophyll (a+b), chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in exogenous dyeing solution treatments were significantly lower than those of the control at the later stage. The concentration of dyeing solution and introduction time determined the amount of dye absorption. The dye solution 0.4%, which was introduced for three days, could ensure the appropriate dye absorption and reduce the inhibitory effect on the physiological activities of the poplar.We analyzed the phylogenetic structure of trees within six diameter classes (1-2, 2-4, 4-7, 7-11, 11-16, >16 cm) in quadrats with different size of 5 m×5 m,10 m×10 m, 20 m×20 m, 50 m×50 m, 100 m×100 m in a Abies georgei var. smithii community in a 4 hm2 stem-mapping plot located in subalpine dark coniferous forest of Sygera Mountains, southeast Tibet. In various spatial scales, both net relatedness index (NRI) and nearest taxon index (NTI) of the community were larger than zero, indicating a clustered phylogenetic structure with the largest clustering intensity at small spatial scale (5 m×5 m). Community of small-size classes were phylogenetically clustering. In large-size classes (DBH>7 cm) phylogenetic over dispersion became more common, with dispersion increased with increasing tree size under all spatial scales. The intensity of phylogenetic clustering in young trees increased with increasing spatial scales, while the intensity of over dispersion in large trees (DBH>7 cm) increased with spatial scale. Our results suggested that environmental filtering in small-size trees and competitive exclusion in large-size trees might be the main ecological processes driving community assembly in this region.We investigated the characteristics of plant species diversity in tree and shurb layers and the main influencing factors in different slope positions of a shady slope of degraded tiankeng talus. The results showed that there were 21 species in 17 genera and 13 families in the tree layer, and 20 species in 20 genera and 14 families in shrub layer in the south side of the Shenxiantang. Plant communities were subtropical moist coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest. Micro-climate led to obvious vegetation variation between the pit and the pit slope at the tiankeng. The secondary collapse over the talus with mid-slope could conserve more water, which supported the water-demanding species in a high-quality niche. All the α diversity indices including Margalef (3.58), Shannon (2.47), Simpson (0.79) and Pielou (0.86) reached the maximum at the pit bottom edge with slight variability, and the maximum coefficient of variation was only 0.226. The β diversity index fluctuated greatly among the pit-pit, slope-pit, bottom edge. The Routledge and Whilson-Shmida indices showed the trends of decrease-increase-decrease, with the maximum values of 15.95 and 1.20, respectively. Species turnover demonstrated the upward trend overall, and the number of co-species was decreased. Plant diversity on each slope position was mainly related to the contents of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, available phosphorus and organic carbon in soil. Soil was the most important factor leading to the difference among slope positions.The ENSO events affect climate and fire danger of China. It would be helpful for improving fire danger forecast to understand the impacts of ENSO events on fire weather for various ecological zones in the country. We calculated the fire weather index (FWI) using the daily climatic dataset (V3.0) of international exchange weather stations in China during 1951-2016. The burned areas in forests for each ecological zone in 2001-2016 were derived from MODIS fire products. Temperature, precipitation, FWI and burned areas in fire season were estimated for each ecological zone by ENSO events (weak, medium, strong, and super strong El Niño events and weak, medium, and strong La Niña events). The results showed that there were 19 El Niño events and 14 La Niña events during 1950-2016. The average daily maximum temperature of the spring fire season increased significantly in the northwestern region with the influence of strong or super strong El Niño event, while the temperature reduced significantly in the medium El Niñcal humid areas. The burned areas in the rest regions were not affected by the ENSO events.We examined the spatial distribution patterns and their scale effects of different tree species (Larix gmelinii, Betula platyphylla and others) and different size classes of trees (1-5) of natural L. gmelinii secondary forest (LF), natural B. platyphylla secondary forest (BF) and the mixed secondary forest of both species (MF) in Daxing'anling. The results showed that among the three forest types, LF was the only one type reaching a good state of regeneration, while other two forest types were poorly regenerated. For different forest types, the abundance of seedlings and saplings in the regeneration layer were significantly different from that of the tree layer, and the diameter distribution (except for LF and BF) and height distribution of trees in each forest type were not reasonable, indicating that all the three forest types belonged to unstable communities. At species level, the spatial distributions of main species in each plot were mainly clumped. The five indicators used in this study varied significantly with the scales, which mainly focused on the linear increases (40%), the power increases (22%) and the negative quadratic polynomials (20%), respectively.
