Objective This study aimed to explore the light requirements and light adaptation mechanisms of Alsophila spinulosa seedlings, in order to provide scientific basis for its understory planting management and landscaping application. MethodsA.spinulosa seedlings were used as test materials,and experiments were carried out in a plastic film greenhouse with a shading intensity of 30%.The effects of different shading treatments CK, T1, T2, T3, and T4 with light intensity of 100%, 60%, 30%, 10%, and 2%, respectively, on leaf traits, gas exchange parameters, light response curves, and photosynthetic pigments were studied. The growth and photosynthetic performance of A.spinulosa seedlings under different treatments were comprehensively evaluated using principal component analysis and membership function. Results Different shading treatments had significant effects on leaf traits and photosynthetic characteristics of A.spinulosa seedlings. Under the T3 treatment, the number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, and free water/bound water ratio of A.spinulosa seedlings were significantly higher than those under other treatments. With the increase of shading intensity, the specific leaf area, free water content, Tr, Gs, chlorophyll, and carotenoid content of A.spinulosa seedlings increased gradually, while the specific leaf mass and stomatal density showed an initial increase followed by a decrease trend, and the chlorophyll a/b ratio and bound water content showed a gradual decrease trend overall. Compared with CK treatment, Pn, WUE, Pnmax, LSP, and AQY of A.spinulosa seedlings under T3 treatment were the highest, while Rd, LCP, and Ci decreased to the lowest. According to the average value of subordinate function values, the comprehensive evaluation of different treatments was T3>T4>T2>T1>CK. ConclusionA.spinulosa seedlings have shade tolerance characteristics during the seedling stage and show positive adaptability under weak light environment. Natural light poses strong light stress on A.spinulosa seedlings. When the light intensity is 10% of the greenhouse light intensity, the growth and photosynthesis of A.spinulosa seedlings are the most suitable and strongest.
于2023年7月中旬,观察植株叶片生长情况,每处理随机抽取5株,统计每株植物的叶片数量(leaf number, LN),用直尺测定每株植物的带柄叶长(leaf length,LL)和叶宽(leaf wide,LW),长度测其最长处,宽为最宽处。并摘取生长位置相近的成熟健壮叶片,每处理叶片均用网格纸裁剪成0.5 cm×0.5 cm叶面积大小,用天平测量其叶片鲜重(leaf fresh weight,LFW)和干重(leaf dry weight,LDW),以此计算比叶面积(specific leaf area,SLA)、比叶质量(leaf mass per unit area,LMA)和叶片含水量(leaf moisture content,LMC)。叶片自由水(free water content,FWC)和束缚水含量(bound water content,BWC)则参考张帆等[22]的称重法测量。气孔密度(stomatal density,SD)采用印迹法[23]制成下表皮临时装片,使用光学显微镜(EVOS M5000,美国)观察气孔。
