基于生长进程和生物量分配的亚热带4个乡土树种的生长策略

Growth strategies of four subtropical native tree species based on growth processes and biomass allocation

  • 摘要: 基于定期连续观测数据,运用Richard模型模拟立地、土壤、经营措施和林龄相同的4个树种:马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)、枫香(Liquidambar formosana Hance)、木荷(Schima superba Gardn.et Champ)、杜英(Elaeocarpus decipiens Hemsl)的林分地径、树高的生长进程,结合收获法测定生物量器官间的分配,剖析4个树种生长进程的潜在机制。结果显示:(1)Richard生长模型对4个树种地径、树高生长进程具有良好的可预测性和适应性;4个树种地径、树高的生长进程表现不同,马尾松地径、树高年生长速率最高,其次是木荷,第6~8年先后超过枫香、杜英,且差异随林龄增长而增大;马尾松地径最早进入速生期(第3~8年),树高第5年进入速生期;与马尾松相比,枫香、杜英、木荷地径进入速生期晚1~2年,且速生期缩短2~4年,木荷树高进入速生期也晚2年,枫香、杜英树高没有进入速生期。4个树种优先地径生长,特别是马尾松。(2)树干生物量占全株生物量的比例最大(46.0%~58.8%),枫香最高,树叶生物量占比最小(3.0%~11.2%),枫香最小;马尾松地上生物量(AGB)显著高于地下生物量(RGB),3个阔叶树AGB与RGB差异较小,且RGB占比(25.4%~27.6%)和根冠比(35.1%~40.6%)显著高于马尾松。马尾松将更多生物量优先分配于地上部分,对地上空间、光照获取能力强,促使地径和树高生长最快,3个阔叶树AGB和RGB分配均衡,地径、树高生长较慢,特别是杜英,但其具有发达根系,对地下养分竞争能力强;木荷AGB优先分配给枝和叶,呈现良好的速生性,枫香AGB优先分配给树干,促进树高生长。研究结果说明,马尾松与木荷混交有利于培育大径材,马尾松与枫香混交有利于维持和提高地力,马尾松与杜英混交可形成资源需求互补。

     

    Abstract: Based on regularly continuous observation data, this study applied the Richard growth model to analyze the growth dynamics of ground diameter (GD) and tree height (H) in plantations of four tree species, Pinus massoniana, Liquidambar formosana, Schima superba, and Elaeocarpus decipiens. Organ biomass allocation was quantified using the harvest method under consistent site conditions, soil characteristics, management measures, and stand ages. Results showed that: (1) The Richard growth model demonstrated excellent predictability and adaptability to the growth dynamics of GD and H across the four tree species plantations. Growth rates varied among species, with P. massoniana demonstrating the highest annual growth rates for GD and H, followed by S. superba, and surpassing those of L. formosana and E. decipiens in the 6th to 8th year. These differences became more pronounced with increasing stand age. Rapid GD growth in P. massoniana occurred earlier (3rd to 8th years) and lasted longer, with H entering its rapid growth phase by the 5th year. In contrast, rapid GD growth for L. formosana, E. decipiens, and S. superba was delayed by 1–2 years and shortened by 2–4 years, with S. superba showing a delayed rapid H growth period and L. formosana and E. decipiens failing to enter a rapid H growth phase. Notably, all species prioritized GD growth, especially P. massoniana. (2) Trunk biomass accounted for the largest proportion of total plant biomass (46.0%–58.8%), with L. formosana having the highest proportion. Leaf biomass contributed the least (3.0%–11.2%), with L. formosana showing the lowest share. Above-ground biomass (AGB) in P. massoniana was significantly greater than its below-ground biomass (RGB), while no significant difference was observed between AGB and RGB in three broad-leaved species. Furthermore, the three broad-leaved species exhibited higher RGB proportions (25.4%–27.6%) and root-to-shoot ratios (35.1%–40.6%) compared to P. massoniana. The biomass allocation in P. massoniana favored AGB, enhancing its competitiveness for above-ground space and light, thereby supporting rapid GD and H growth. In contrast, the distribution of AGB and RGB in the three broad-leaved trees was relatively balanced, resulting in slower GD and H growth rates, especially in E. decipiens, which exhibited well-developed root systems and strong competition for subsurface nutrients. In S. superba, AGB was preferentially allocated to branches and leaves, facilitating fast-growing characteristics, while in L. formosana, trunk biomass allocation promoted H growth. These results highlight the complementary advantages of mixed plantations. Pairing P. massoniana with S. superba enhances the cultivation of large-diameter timber, combining P. massoniana with L. formosana improves soil fertility, and integrating P. massoniana with E. decipiens optimizes resource utilization for sustainable growth.
