Ozone (O) pollution can alter carbon allocation and reduce tree growth - both above and below ground, but the extent of these effects depends on the variation in soil water and nutrient availability. Here we present the accumulation and allocation of biomass in poplar clone 546 (Populus deltoides cv. '55/56' × P. deltoides cv. 'Imperial') for one growing season at two O concentrations (charcoal-filtered air [CF] and non-filtered air + 40 ppb of O [E-O]), two watering regimes (well-watered [WW] and reduced watering at 40% of WW irrigation [RW]) and two soil nitrogen addition treatments (no addition [N0] and the addition of 50 kg N ha year [N50]). We found that the deleterious effects of E-O depended on the supply of water and nitrogen. Specifically, when the supplies of water and/or N (WW and/or N50) were abundant, E-O significantly reduced whole plant biomass by >15% but had no significant effect on biomass when these supplies were limited (RW and N0). A significant reduction of biomass by E-O occurred earlier in fine roots than in other plant organs, indicating greater sensitivity of fine root to E-O. These results suggest that rising O concentrations may not ubiquitously lead to a large reduction in plant biomass since plant growth is often jointly constrained by water and nutrients.
臭氧 (O) 污染会改变碳分配并减少树木生长——地上和地下部分都会减少,但这些影响的程度取决于土壤水分和养分供应的变化。在这里,我们在两个臭氧浓度(木炭过滤空气 [CF] 和非过滤空气+40ppb 的 O [E-O])、两个浇水制度(充分浇水 [WW] 和减少至 WW 灌溉的 40% [RW])和两个土壤氮添加处理(不添加 [N0] 和添加 50kgNha 年 [N50])下,研究了杨树无性系 546(Populus deltoides cv. '55/56' × P. deltoides cv. 'Imperial')在一个生长季节的生物量积累和分配。我们发现,E-O 的有害影响取决于水和氮的供应。具体来说,当水和/或氮(WW 和/或 N50)供应充足时,E-O 会显著降低植物总生物量 >15%,但当供应有限时(RW 和 N0),E-O 对生物量没有显著影响。E-O 会导致细根的生物量比其他植物器官更早显著减少,这表明细根对 E-O 的敏感性更高。这些结果表明,由于植物生长通常受到水和养分的共同限制,因此臭氧浓度的上升不一定会普遍导致植物生物量大量减少。
