Robust speed control for a variable speed wind turbine

Modern wind turbines are designed in order to work in variable speed opera-tions. To perform this task, these turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator (DFIG). One of the main advantages of adjustable speed generators is improving the system efficiency compared with _xed speed generators, because turbine speed can be adjusted as a function of wind speed in order to maximize the output power. However, this system requires a suitable speed controller in order to track the optimal reference speed of the wind turbine. In this work, a sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbines is proposed. The proposed design also uses the vector oriented control theory in order to simplify the DFIG dynamical equations. The stability analysis of the proposed controller has been carried out under wind variations and pa-rameter uncertainties using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulated results show on the one hand that the proposed controller provides a high-performance dynamic behavior, and on the other hand that this scheme is robust with respect to parameter uncertainties and wind speed variations, which usually appear in real systems.

Sliding mode control law for a variable speedwind turbine

Modern wind turbines are designed in order to work in variable speed operations. To perform this task, wind turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator. One of the main advantage of adjustable speed generators is improving the system efficiency compared to fixed speed generators, because turbine speed can be adjusted as a function of wind speed in order to maximize the output power. However this system requires a suitable speed controller in order to track the optimal reference speed of the wind turbine. In this work, a sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbines is proposed. An integral sliding surface is used, because the integral term avoids the use of the acceleration signal, which reduces the high frequency components in the sliding variable. The proposed design also uses the vector oriented control theory in order to simplify the generator dynamical equations. The stability analysis of the proposed controller has been carried out under wind variations and parameter uncertainties by using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally simulated results show, on the one hand that the proposed controller provides a high-performance dynamic behavior, and on the other hand that this scheme is robust with respect to parameter uncertainties and wind speed variations, that usually appear in real systems.

Ⅰ濒危植物银杉幼树对生长光强的适应研究、Ⅱ滴灌棉田根区水分对棉花根系生长的调节研究

一． 濒危植物银杉幼树对生长光强的适应研究 银杉（Cathaya argyrophylla）是我国松科中的特有单种属植物，被认为处于濒危状态。在对银杉群落多年调查研究的基础上，针对银杉幼树生长过程对光强的需求特性，开展了银杉幼树对光的适应性研究。试验在人工培育的银杉苗圃地，采用遮荫的方法，设置不同的光环境处理（100%、45%和3%自然光强），利用气体交换技术和叶绿素荧光技术测定了3种光强下银杉叶片光合生理指标的变化，探讨了不同光环境下银杉幼树光合能力在不同季节的变化及对生长光强的响应等。结果表明，在夏季银杉生长旺盛时期，遮荫导致叶片最大光合速率（Pnmax）、羧化效率(CE)明显下降。不同叶龄叶片的下降幅度不同，在3%低光环境下，当年生叶片较1年生叶片降低幅度大。银杉幼树光补偿点(LCP)和光饱和点(L．SP)随生长光强的下降均有所降低，但低光强（3%自然光强）条件下，全晴天时实际的光辐射量高于当年生叶片光补偿点的累积时间约6h，而且距离光饱和的区域相差极大，造成全天碳同化量低，同化物累积少，严重影响了银杉幼树的正常生长：在不同处理中全光强条件下银杉幼树长势最好，45%光强条件下幼树生长减慢。冬季银杉最大光合速率（Pnmax）、羧化效率(CE)值均低于夏季，光补偿点(LCP)和光饱和点(L．SP)也较夏季降低。全光照条件下无论是当年生叶片和1年生叶片，在冬季均出现了轻微光抑制现象，适度遮荫有利于银杉抵御冬季光抑制。无论在遮荫或不遮荫条件下，冬季银杉叶片将所吸收的相对过多光能通过非辐射途经耗散出去，表现出一种光保护策略。 二．滴灌棉田根区水分对棉花根系生长的调节研究 为了探讨膜下滴灌棉花根区土壤水分对棉花根系生长的影响及地上部的关系，揭示膜下滴灌棉花节水高产的生理机理，本试验通过设置不同滴水量处理，控制根区水分供应，研究膜下滴灌棉花根区水分变化对根系生长的调节效应。结果表明，限量滴灌条件下0-40cm土层内相对田间持水率在每次滴水前下降到50%以下，难以满足棉花正常生长对水分的要求;常规滴灌在每次滴水前，根区水分保持在临界水平下限以上，可基本满足棉花根系正常生长的需要，而充分滴灌量处理根区水分偏多。水分对根系生物量的影响表现为，充分滴灌与常规滴灌处理根系生物量差异不显著，两者均显著高于限量滴灌处理。随滴水量的增加，土层中根系分布集中，土壤浅层根量所占比重增加;根系在水平方向上以棉株为中心10cm区域内根量约占总根量的80%以上。根区水分对棉株生理特性也具有一定的调节作用，常规滴灌量的根系活力在生育后期高于充分滴灌量和限量滴灌处理，且深层根系活力所占比例较高。根区水分能够调节棉花根系与地上部生长比例，限量滴灌条件下棉花受到严重的干旱胁迫，虽然根冠比升高，但根系及地上部生物量均明显降低;充分滴灌量条件下单位面积根系总量、总生物学产量在各生育时期均高于常规滴灌量和限量滴灌处理，有较高铃数，但营养器官生物量占总生物量的比例较常规滴灌量处理高，最终实收棉花产量较常规滴灌量处理的低;常规滴灌在各生育时期根冠比适宜，单位重量根系的生产力较高，棉花经济产量高和水分利用效率均较高，增产潜力大。

植物根系、根区微生物对大气CO2浓度倍增的反应及其生态学意

预测下世纪中叶，大气CO_2浓度将高到目前的两倍（即达到700μ1•1~(-1)）。CO_2倍增对植物地上部的影响已经有了较多的研究，胆是由于方法学上的困难，至今关于倍增CO_2对植物根及根区微生物的研究仍是非常匮乏。本文应用国际上最新的根研究方法，以根系为中心，研究开顶式CO_2C熏蒸培养室中，CO_2倍增条件下根系与地上部，根系与根区微生物[共生的泡囊－丛枝菌根（VAM）真菌，非共生的土壤微生物]的关系。 1. CO_2倍增对根系的影响目前CO_2倍增对根系影响的研究多集中在根生物量的测定，或根／冠比值的测定，而善于其它参数如根长度则很少涉及，而根表面的反应目前还未见文献报道。本实验以幼苗期小麦“青323”（Triticum aestivum）、水稻“中作 29”(Oryza sativa)、大豆“科农4号”（Glycine max）、玉米“农大3138”（Zea mays）、甜高粱“M－81E”（Sorghum saccharatum）为材料，研究CO_2倍增对植物生物量的影响，发现CO_2倍增使C_3植物水稻、大豆的地上部、根系干重均显著增加，使小麦的根系干重显著增加，地上部无显著差异;C_4植物玉米和甜高粱的地上部和根系均没有显著反应。植物干重反应资料表明在光合产物的分配方面，C_3和C_4植物之间存在巨大的差异。 为了解根系获取土壤资源的能力的变化，我们对根系总长度和总表面积进行了分析。用样格交叉法研究根系长度的变化，结果显示，幼苗期的小麦、大豆的根系长度均被显著促进，尤其值得注意的是，尽管玉米根系干重没有显著改变，但是根长度已发生显著变化。同时应用研究根系表面积的最新方法－Na NO_2吸附法，研究发现幼苗期小麦、水稻和大豆的根系表面积在CO_2倍增条件下均显著增加，C_4植物玉米的根表面积亦有显著增加，但甜高粱的根表面积却没有显著反应，这说明即使在C_4植物类型中，根系表面积的反应在不同物种间仍存在很大差异。由于根长度和根表面积增幅大于根干重的增幅，所以推断在CO_2倍增条件下，植物根系细根比例增加，这有利于植物获取更多的养分。由于不同植物之间根系的反应不同，这将改变群落中原有的根系竞争关系，从而影响群落中物种的组成。 2. CO_2倍增对VAM真菌侵染强度和活力的影响本文应用NBT染色法，并结合浸染强度等级和活力等级标准，首次对CO_2倍增条件下，植物VAM真菌的侵染强度和活力的变化进行了检测。对比常规的酸性品红乳酸甘油法和NBT法，发现两者在显示侵染强度时元显著差异，但后者能同时用于侵染活力等级的研究。对幼苗期大豆以及不同生长期的小麦和玉米根系VAM真菌的侵染强度和活力进行观测，结果显示，倍增CO_2对大豆的侵染强度和活力均没有显著效应;使幼苗期玉米的侵染强度显著增加，但侵染活力无显著差异，但随生长期的推移，侵染强度所受的CO_2倍增效应逐渐减小，与14天苗龄（DAP）和35DAP相比，侵染活力在22DAP时所受效应最大;使10DAP小麦的VAM侵染强度和活力均显著增加，而且这种效应在30DAP小麦中的表现与10DAP小麦的相同。说明C_3、C_4植物中，菌根真菌对CO_2倍增反应不同，这也许是C_3、C_4植物对CO_2倍增反应不同的原因之一。倍增CO_2改善了VAM真菌的发育，所以较之于非菌根侵染植物，菌根侵染植物将因为CO_2倍增而获益更多，另一方面不同种植物中，VAM真菌的发育反应不同，这将使植物群落中，根系获取无机营养的竞争能力发生变化，最终影响植物群落的物种丰度和生物多样性以及群落的演替。 3. CO_2倍增对非共生土壤微生物的影响CO_2倍增使生长70天的小麦、垂柳（Salix babylonica）、藜(Chenopodium album)、繁穗苋（Amaranthus cruentus）品种“红苋K112”的地上部和根系的生物量增加。以这些植物所在土壤为材料，用氯仿熏蒸直接提取法研究土壤微生物生物量C（C_(mic)）和生物量N（N_(mic)）的变化，发现CO_2倍增尽管使各类型植物的C_4植物）土壤中C_(mic)的变化趋势不完全相同（小麦和藜所在土壤的C_(mic)下降，垂柳中C_(mic)升高，而在繁穗苋中无显著差异），但N_(mic)在各物种所在土壤中均有不同程度的上升，在繁穗苋中增幅最大。C_(mic):N_(mic)比值在4个物种所在土壤中均明显下降，这意味着CO_2倍增后在植物生长后期，土壤微生物活性提高，分解植物凋落物和土壤中其它有机质的能力加强，从而改善贫瘠土壤中有机质质量。 4.CO_2倍增对植物呼吸和光合作用及C素积累的影响 1）CO_2倍增对植物暗呼吸的影响：以杜仲（Eucommia ulmoides）、紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa)和玉米等10种植物的离体成熟叶片或整株为材料，研究不同测定温度（15～35 ℃）下，CO_2倍增对植物暗呼吸的影响。结果表明：在较低温度（15 ℃、20 ℃）下，CO_2倍增对植物暗呼吸没有显著效应;在较高温度（30 ℃、35 ℃）时，多数被测植物的暗呼吸显著增强。由于植物在不同温度时它们的暗咱吸受CO_2倍增的促进幅度不同，这将导致不同地区（环境温度不同）的植物暗呼吸反应有差异，而且由于不同物种的暗呼吸增幅不同，综合光合效应，它们的生物量的反应也会不同。 2）CO_2倍增对整株植物的CO_2气体交换及植物C素积累的影响：利用自行设计的一套CO_2气体测定装置，首次尝试同步测定CO_2倍增条件下幼苗期小麦地下部和地上部的气体交换在昼夜24小时内的变化及C素的积累。发现CO_2倍增不仅使小麦地上部C素的积累增加，也使地下部释放的C素增加，但整株植物的C素收入仍高于对照两倍多，这从植物与环境的CO_2气体交换角度为CO_2倍增促进植物生物量的增加提供了依据。并首次提出：植物的整体性及植物所在的环境条件（主要是温度和光照强度）决定着植物暗呼吸对CO_2倍增的响应方式：被抑制或无效应。

黄土丘陵半干旱区退化刺槐林不同改造方式效果分析

采用野外典型抽样调查和室内分析测定的方法,在黄土丘陵半干旱区-安塞水土保持综合试验站研究了退化刺槐林经萌蘖更新和重造侧柏林改造后林地土壤水分含量、乔木根系生物量和生物多样性指标的差异。结果表明:萌蘖更新林地内的土壤水分含量和生物多样性指数均高于重造侧柏林地;不同改造方式下整个土层内根系生物量的差异较大,根系生物量最大的是重造侧柏林地,为17.59 g,最小的是退化刺槐林,为16.59 g。萌蘖刺槐林与退化刺槐林相比,土壤水分含量和生物多样性指数变化不大,但林内乔木种类较退化刺槐林内丰富。因此利用间伐萌蘖方式对退化刺槐林改造是可行的。

玉米根系剖面分布对水分亏缺的响应

在水分亏缺和正常供水(土壤含水量分别维持在田间持水量的40%～45%和75%～80%)两种水分条件下,采用土柱实验方法,研究了玉米杂交种户单四号(F1)及其父本803(♂)、母本天四(♀)根系剖面分布对水分亏缺的响应。结果表明:水分亏缺除了对父本的总根重无显著影响之外,使杂交种和母本的总根重以及3个品种的总根长和根系总表面积均显著下降。在剖面分布上,水分亏缺显著降低了杂交种和母本在表层土层中的根重和根表面积,使杂交种在表层和中层土层中的根长以及亲本在深层土层中的根长显著下降。可见,玉米杂交种响应中度干旱胁迫的形态学变化是减少上层干土中的根系生长,而增加深层土层中根系的相对生长,即其深层根系分布占总根系的比重较亲本高,这种根系剖面分布的优化导致杂交种较高的生物量积累和水分利用效率。

大豆品种竞争能力和籽粒产量关系研究

盆栽试验方法研究充分供水(W)、适度干旱(M)和严重干旱(D)三种条件下,不同株型的两个大豆品种晋大74和晋豆24在混播和单播时的籽粒产量及生物量构成。结果表明:晋大74品种具有较高的植株生物量和较强竞争能力,在单播时籽粒产量较低,而竞争能力较低的晋豆24品种在单播时籽粒产量却较高,这一结论将对大豆株型设计提供一定的科学依据。

黄土退耕坡地植物根系分布特征及其对土壤养分的影响

为明确黄土退耕坡地植物根系分布特征及其对土壤养分的影响,在陕西神木六道沟流域选取退耕30 a的长芒草坡地和裸地坡面,利用图像处理和常规分析方法研究了长芒草根系和土壤养分在土壤剖面分布及其相互关系。结果表明: 长芒草根系主要分布在0～50 cm土层,分布规律可用指数函数来模拟。有根系存在的土壤表层有机质、全氮、全磷、硝态氮和铵态氮含量均高于无根系存在的坡面。在有根系存在时土壤有机质、全氮和硝态氮的具有明显的表聚现象。0～ 50 cm有机质、全氮、硝态氮和铵态氮随深度的变化可用幂函数来表示,而全磷随深度呈线性相关。0～50 cm的土壤养分与根长密度的关系可以用线性函数来表示。其研究结果为坡面退耕地土壤管理提供科学依据。

模拟酸雨对马尾松菌根影响研究

本实验表明：外生菌根真菌彩色豆马勃、劣味乳菇、丝膜菌对PH的适应范围较广，最适生长BH呈酸性。模拟酸雨对马尾松幼苗菌根的外部形态和内部结构有明显影响。在温室栽培中，模拟酸雨（PH2.0）显著抑制菌根侵染率，在田间实验中，对菌根侵染率有一定的影响。菌根PH和土壤PH值随模拟酸雨PH下降而逐渐降低，接种菌根菌可略提高菌根PH和土壤PH值。菌根真菌过氧化氢酶对培养基中PH的变化不敏感，模拟酸雨对菌根过氧化氢酶活性影响也不明显。但沙培中，模拟酸雨（PH2.0）显著抑制菌根过氧化氢酶活性。模拟酸雨（PH2.0）显著刺激菌根过氧化物酶活性，接种菌根菌可以降低菌根过氧化物酶活性。不同PH的培养基对菌体硝酸还原酶活性有明显影响，而且菌体生长速度与硝酸还原酶活性呈正相关。模拟酸雨（PH2.0）显著抑制菌根硝酸还原酶活性，而接种菌根菌明显提高根系硝酸还原酶活性。菌体酸性磷酸酶活性对培养基中PH变化不敏感，同样菌根酸性磷酸酶活性对模拟酸雨的影响也不明显，但是接种菌根菌可明显提高根系酸性磷酸酶活性。模拟酸雨对马尾松幼苗茎的高生长影响不显著。但是对幼苗茎、根系的干重和侧根总长度有显著抑制作用。轻度酸雨（PH4.5-3.0）对马尾松幼苗生长有促进作用，接种菌可提高幼苗生长。从菌根形态结构和生理活性上看，接种菌根菌可减轻模拟酸雨对马尾松幼苗根系的危害，增强对模拟酸雨的抗性。4dThe result of experiment showed that ectomycorrhizal fungi Pisolithus tinctorins. Lactarius insulsus. Cortinarius russus can be growth in broad PH rang in pure culture, the optimum growth PH is acidity. The external morphology and internal structure of ectomycorrhiza of P. massoniana are affected with simulated acid rain. In greenhouse, simulated acid rain (PH2.0) treatment caused significant decrease in the percent infection, but it's not marked in field. The PH of mycorrhizal and soil are reduced with reducing rainfall PH. These PH are slight higher for inoculation with ectomycorrhizal fungi. Catalase activity of ectomycorrhizal fungus is not sensitive to medium with different PH.

Iower acidity level simulated rain can stimulated the growth of P. massoniana, the growth of seedling inocnlated with mycorrhizal fungus can be increased.

水分亏缺和凋落物水浸液对云杉幼苗生长和种子萌发的影响

在人类活动导致全球变暖的前提下，由于全球气温的升高，地表水分加速向空中蒸发。从20世纪70年代至今，地球上严重干旱地区的面积几乎扩大了一倍。这一增长的一半可归因于气温升高而不是降雨量下降，因为实际上同期全球平均降水量还略有增长。干旱对陆地植物和农林生态系统产生深远影响，并已成为全球变化研究的一个重要方面。位于青藏高原东部的川西亚高山针叶林是研究气候变暖对陆地生态系统影响的重要森林类型。森林采伐迹地、人工林下和林窗环境作为目前该区人工造林和森林更新的重要生境，其截然不同的光环境对亚高山针叶林更新和森林动态有非常重要的影响。凋落物产生的化感物质可通过影响种子萌发和早期幼苗的定居而影响种群的建立和更新，而人工林和自然林物种以及更新速度的差异性也都受凋落物的影响。 云杉是川西亚高山针叶林群落的重要树种之一,在维持亚高山森林的景观格局和区域生态安全方面具有十分重要的作用，其自然更新能力及其影响机制一直是研究的热点问题。本试验以云杉种子和2年生幼苗为研究对象，从萌发、根尖形态、幼苗生长、光合作用、渗透调节和抗氧化能力等方面研究了不同光环境下水分亏缺和凋落物水浸液对云杉种子和幼苗生长的影响。旨在从更新的角度探讨亚高山针叶林自然更新的过程，其研究成果可在一定程度上为川西亚高山针叶林更新提供科学依据，同时也可为林业生产管理提供科学指导。主要研究结论如下： 水分亏缺在生长形态、光合作用、抗氧化能力、活性氧化对云杉幼苗都有显著影响。总体表现为，水分亏缺导致了云杉幼苗的高度、地径、单株总生物量降低，增加了地下部分的生长；水分亏缺显著降低了云杉叶片中相对含水量、光合色素、叶氮含量，净光合速率和最大量子产量(Fv/Fm)，提高了幼苗叶片中膜脂过氧化产物（MDA）的含量；水分亏缺提高了幼苗叶片中过氧化氢(H2O2)含量，超氧荫离子（O2-）生成速率以及脯氨酸和抗氧化系统的活性（ASA, SOD, CAT, POD, APX和GR）。从这些结果可知，植物在遭受水分亏缺导致的伤害时，其自身会形成防御策略，并通过改变形态和生理方面的特性以减轻害。但是，这种自我保护机制依然不能抵抗严重水分亏缺对植物的伤害。 模拟林下低光照条件显著增加单株植物的地上部分生长，尤其是其叶片的比叶面积（叶面积/叶干重），同时其光合色素含量和叶片相对含水量也显著增加，这些改变直接导致植株光合速率和生物量的增加。同时，与高光照水平相比，低光照幼苗的膜脂过氧化产物（MDA）和活性氧物质均较低，显示出低光照比高光照水平对植物的更低的氧化伤害。尽管低光照也导致大部分抗氧化酶活性降低，但这正显示出植物遭受低的氧化伤害，更印证了前面的结论。 凋落物水浸液影响了云杉种子的萌发和根系的生长，更在形态、光合作用、抗氧化能力、活性氧物质以及叶氮水平上显著影响了云杉幼苗，其中，以人工纯林凋落物的影响更有强烈。具体表现在，种子萌发速率和萌发种子幼根的长度表现为对照>自然林处理>人工纯林；凋落物水浸液抑制种子分生区和伸长区的生长，人工林处理更降低了根毛区的生长，使根吸水分和养分困难。对2年生幼苗的影响主要表现在叶绿素含量、光合速率以及叶氮含量的降低；膜脂过氧化产物、活性氧物质和抗氧化酶系统的显著增加。同样的，人工纯林处理对云杉幼苗的影响显著于自然林处理。 在自然生态系统中，由于全球变暖气温升高导致的水分亏缺和森林凋落物都存在森林的砍伐迹地，林窗和林下环境中。我们的研究表明，与迹地或林窗强光照比较，林下的低光照环境由于为植物的生长营造了较为湿润的微环境，因此水分亏缺在林下对云杉幼苗造成的影响微弱。这可以从植物的形态、光合速率以及生物量积累，过氧化伤害和抗氧化酶系统表现出来。另一方面，凋落物水浸液在模拟林下低光照环境对植物的伤害也微弱于强光照环境，这与强光照环境高的水分散失导致环境水分亏缺有关；而人工纯林处理对云杉幼苗的伤害比对照和自然林处理显示出强烈的抑制作用。 Under the pre-condition of global warming resulted from intensive human activities, water in the earth’s surface rapidly evaporates due to the increase of global air temperature. From 1970s up to now, the area of serious drought in the world is almost twice as ever. This increase might be due to the increasing air temperature and not decreasing rainfall because global average rainfall in the corresponding period slightly is incremental. Drought will have profound impacts on terrestrial and agriculture-forest system and has also become the important issue of global change research. The subalpine coniferous forests in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau provide a natural laboratory for the studying the effects of global warming on terrestrial ecosystems. The light environment significantly differs among cutting blanks, forest gap and understory, which is particularly important for plant regeneration and forest dynamics in the subalpine coniferous forests. Picea asperata is one of the keystone species of subalpine coniferouis forests in western China, and it is very important in preserving landscape structure and regional ecological security of subalpine forests. The natural regeneration capacities and influence mechanism of Picea asperata are always the hot topics. In the present study, the short-term effects of two light levels (100% of full sunlight and 15% of full sunlight), two watering regimes (100% of field capacity and 30% of field capacity), two litter aqueous extracts (primitive forest and plantation aqueous extracts) on the seed germination, early growth and physiological traits of Picea asperata were determined in the laboratory and natural greenhouse. The present study was undertaken so as to give a better understanding of the regeneration progress affected by water deficit, low light and litter aqueous extracts. Our results could provide insights into the effects of climate warming on community composition and regeneration behavior for the subalpine coniferous forest ecosystem processes, and provide scientific direction for the forest production and management. Water deficit had significant effects on growth, morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of Picea asperata seedlings. Water deficit resulted in the decrease in height, basal diameter, total biomass and increase in under-ground development; water deficit significantly reduced the needle relative water content, photosynthetic pigments, needle nitrogen concentration, net photosynthetic rate and the maximum potential quantum yield of photosynthesis (Fv/Fm), and increased the degree of lipid peroxidation (MDA) in Picea asperata seedlings; water deficit also increased the rate of superoxide radical (O2-) production, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content, free proline content and the activities of antioxidant systems (ASA, SOD, POD, CAT, APX and GR) in Picea asperata seedlings. These results indicated that some protective mechanism was formed when plants suffered from drought stress, but the protection could not counteract the harm resulting from the serious drought stress on them. Low light in the understory significantly increased seedling above-ground development, especially the species leaf area (SLA), and photosynthetic pigments and relative needle content. These changes resulted in the increase in net photosynthetic rate and total biomass. Moreover, the lower MDA content and active oxygen species (AOS) (H2O2 and O2-) in low light seedlings suggested that low light had weaker oxidative damage as compared to high light. Lower antioxidant enzymes activities in low light seedlings indicated the weaker oxidative damage on Picea asperata seedlings than high light seedlings, which was correlative with the changes in MDA and AOS. Litter aqueous extracts affected seed germination and root system of Picea asperata seedlings. Significant changes in growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant activities, active oxygen species and leaf nitrogen concentration were also found in Picea asperata seedlings, and plantation treatment showed the stronger effects on these traits than those in control and primitive forest treatment. The present results indicated that seed germination and radicle length parameters in control were superior to those in primitive forest treatment, and those of primitive forest treatment were superior to plantation treatment; litter aqueous extracts inhibited the meristematic and elongation zone, and plantation treatment caused a decrease in root hairs so as to be difficult in absorbing water and nutrient in root system. On the other hand, litter aqueous extracts significantly decreased chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate and leaf nitrogen concentration of Picea asperata seedlings; MDA, AOS and antioxidant system activities were significantly increased in Picea asperata seedlings. Similarly, plantation treatment had more significant effect on Picea asperata seedlings as compared to primitive forest treatment. In the nature ecosystem, water deficit resulted from elevating air temperature and litter aqueous extract may probably coexist in the cutting blank, forest gap and understory. Our present study showed that water deficit had weaker effects on low light seedlings in the understory as compared to high light seedlings in the cutting blank and forest gap. The fact was confirmed from seedlings growth, gas exchange and biomass accumulation, peroxidation and antioxidant systems. This might be due to that low light-reduced leaf and air temperatures, vapour-pressure deficit, and the oxidative stresses can aggravate the impact of drought under higher light. On the other hand, litter aqueous extracts in the low light had weaker effects on the Picea asperata seedlings than those at high light level, which might be correlative to the water evapotranspiration under high light. Moreover, plantation litter aqueous extracts showed stronger inhibition for seed germination and seedling growth than control and primitive forest treatments.

深入研究植被恢复过程中根系与环境因子的响应规律,对于当前西部地区的生态环境建设中有关林草措施的配置问题具有重要理论意义和实践价值。采用对应分析(CA)和典范对应分析(CCA)方法研究黄土丘陵区4种典型植物群落的根系垂直分布特征及其与环境因子的关系。结果表明,所选群落的根系生物量随土层深度增加而明显减小,0~40 cm土层根系生物量超过总根量的85%。借助CA分析将根系的垂直分布特征分为T1、T2和T3,其中大多数群落属于T1型,即表层根量聚积型,0~20 cm土层根量远高于其他层次;T2和T3型为深根与浅根型根系的组合类型,层次变化相对缓和。群落根系的垂直分布及变化受环境因子的综合影响,T1型分布在硝态氮含量较高且有机质和全氮含量较低的地段;T2和T3型的有机质和全氮含量较高,硝态氮含量较低;土壤水分含量、密度、硝态氮是影响退耕地典型植物群落根系垂直分布特征的主要环境因子。
