| 英文摘要 | Carex duriuscula subsp. stenophylloides is a sedge species in alpine grassland ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau. Here we examine its physiological and growth responses to variation in simulated rainfall in a growing season. Compared with the present local rainfall, increased rainfall had no effect on any measured trait except for long-term water use efficiency, and decreased rainfall significantly reduced total leaf area and biomass production, while only severe limitation of rainfall decreased net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and apparent carboxylation efficiency. Net photosynthetic rate was significantly correlated with stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, apparent carboxylation efficiency, and leaf water potential. Total plant dry weight was significantly correlated with net photosynthetic rate, total leaf area, and leaf area ratio. These findings suggest that stomatal limitation and degraded activity of mesophyll cells result in a decrease in net photosynthesis, and that decreased net photosynthesis and total leaf area lead to a decrease in plant production. Based on our measurements, sedge-dominated ecosystems of the Tibetan Plateau are more likely to be impacted by decreases in growing season rainfall than by increases. |
