Drought Stress Effects on Growth of Populus Simonii Seedlings
[Objective] This paper aimed to explore the drought resistance mechanism of Populus simonii
and to provide a scientific basis for the construction of the shelterbelt in the northern of Shanxi Province.[Methods] The effect of drought stress on Populus simonii seedling growth was studied based on the pot experiment conducted in the Taidu nursery base of Jixian Forestry Bureau in the southwest of Shanxi Province. The experiment simulated drought conditions and used the Populus simonii from a loess gully region as the provenance material. And height and ground diameter of the seedling
the biomass in leaves
stems and roots
the relative water content and water potential
net photosynthetic rate
transpiration rate and other growth and physiological indexes were measured in order to study the effects.[Results] The results showed that drought stress inhibited the growth of the Populus simonii seedlings
including the aboveground parts and the root system; Leaf relative water content and water potential decreased with the reduction of the relative water content of soil. In different drought gradient treatments(CK
T1
T2
T3
T4
T5)
net photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate slowed down with the severeness of drought stress. However
in the treatments of CK(field capacity) to T3 (40% of field capacity
soil water content is 8.12%)
the declined rates were gradually smaller; in addition
the Populus simonii seedlings could maintain a relative large photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate
which indicated that Populus simonii had obvious drought resistance. When soil moisture further reduced
Populus simonii appeared to be drying in the period of T4 (30% of field capacity
soil water content is 6.09%)
and in T5 (20% of feild capacity
soil water content is 4.06%) all died.[Conclusion] In the southwest of Shanxi Province and the surrounding areas
soil water should be stayed above 6.09%(T4) as far as possible while planting Populus simonii.
