2、区中龄林(13 a)、成熟林(33 a)和过熟林(53 a)的柳杉人工林为研究对象,对比分析不同林龄柳杉15级的根系形态和根功能模块的碳氮磷化学计量特征。【结果】随林龄增加,柳杉15级细根直径、比根长和比表面积整体上分别呈先增后减,先减后增和逐渐降低的趋势,而根组织密度则无明显变化规律;随根序增加,同一林龄细根直径整体呈增加趋势,而比根长和比表面积均逐渐降低。随林龄增加,柳杉细根碳含量整体呈先增后减的趋势,磷含量、碳氮比和碳磷比呈先减后增的规律,氮磷比无显著变化。并且,吸收根的氮含量整体高于运输根,运输根的碳含量、碳氮比和碳磷比均高于吸收根。细根碳含量与磷含量呈显著负相关,与碳氮比、碳磷比呈显

15、和组织密度等)是影响植物生产力的重要指标,对维持根系的功能具有重要作用5-6。例如,根系直径与根系寿命和周转有关,而比根长和比表面积可以表征根系对养分的吸收效率和利用效率5。碳氮磷化学计量特征是研究植物体内元素分配及其耦合关系的有效手段,反映了植物资源利用效率和生态适应策略7-8。例如,细根碳含量可以揭示植物根系构建消耗的碳同化产物9,氮、磷含量是揭示植物养分库和生理活性的重要指标10,并且氮磷比可以用于诊断林木潜在的养分限制状态11-13。因此,研究细根形态和碳氮磷生态化学计量特征有助于深入认识林木资源吸收策略与养分平衡规律,可为人工林的可持续经营与管理提供理论依据。目前国内外对细根的定义划
16、分主要有3种,分别是按照直径特定的阈值(如,0.5 mm、1 mm或 2 mm)、根序级以及根功能模块(如,吸收根和运输根)划分2,14-15。越来越多的研究表明,植物细根较小的内部构造和功能具有高度的异质性,简单地用直径定义细根的方法难以量化其形态、结构和生理的可塑性和多样性16-17。根系是由不同形态和功能的多个分支结构的远端根构成,相较于直径,细根结构和功能与根序及根功能模块联系更为紧密16-17。例如,位于根系远端的吸收根易于菌根定殖、但寿命短,主要负责水分和养分的探测和吸收,而运输根的寿命相较更长,主要执行养分运输、储存及其对植物的固定18。以往研究发现,细根直径和根组织密度随根序的增加而增加,而比根长、氮磷含量则相反19-20。近年来,国内外学者已对不同树种根系形态和化学性状在根序级和根功能模块的差异进行了大量报道3,21-22,但缺乏林龄对细根形态和化学计量特征影响的研究。林龄作为林分结构的主要特征之一,不同生长阶段的林木可以通过改变土壤的养分资源有效性和养分需求量23,进而改变林木细根形态和细根碳氮磷化学计量特征。首先,林龄可通过改变林分结构、微环境、凋落物归还、根系分
