英文摘要 | Since the late 1950s, Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) has been widely planted for vegetation restoration in arid and semi-arid areas in North China. We used stable isotope signals from precipitation, soil water, and xylem water of Mongolian pine trees, which were planted in early 1980s on sand dunes in the east-southern margin of Horqin Sandy Land, to identify water uptake sources of this tree. (1) Stable O-18 isotope composition of the xylem water exhibited little seasonality, suggesting that the trees use a relatively stable water source; (2) the water source of the pine trees primarily came from a soil depth of 20-60 cm (sampling depth up to 60 cm in this study) and the trees might use groundwater when soil moisture became extremely low; and (3) there was not much difference in water sources used by the pine trees grown at the top of the fixed dune and in the inter dune lowland, although these two sites had 3-8 m elevation difference. This study suggests that it is critical for Mongolian pine trees to access relatively reliable and stable water sources to grow in sandy land habitats, and timely recharging of rainwater to the trees' rooting depth is requisite for avoiding and/or reducing their degradation caused by water shortage. |
