Phenology and water relations of treeline species of Western Himalaya, India
Many regions of Himalayas are warming more than global average rate, and treeline is assumed to be sensitive to changes in the climate. The Indian Himalayan treeline species are very less studied on water stress level and its relation to phenology. In the present study, we have tried to relate water relations of selected treeline species with the timing of phenological phases in treeline areas of western Himalayan region of Uttarakhand. The soil moisture content (Sm) varied between 33.21 and 59.16%. Most phenological phases occurred between pre-summer and summer season in all studied treeline species. The water potential (Ψ) of all the studied tree species increased just before the commencement of leafing and flowering phases when the temperature rose. The species never encountered severe water stress and the pre-dawn water potential (ΨPD) remained above − 1.04 MPa across all the phenological phases. ΨPD was most negative − 1.04 MPa during flowering period and least negative − 0.14 MPa during fruit maturation period. Morning leaf conductance (gwAM) remained above 304.59 m mol m2 s−1 across all the seasons for all the studied species. Rhododendron’s species had the maximum phenological phases during summer season. The highest gwAM was measured in Betula utilis during rainy season and minimum in R. campanulatum during winter season. Leafing and flowering both showed a positive correlation with temperature while fruiting showed a positive correlation with rainfall. The study reveals that the water potential does not reach lethal level to curtail phenological and physiological activities in treeline species. The timing of phenophases in these species is highly sensitive to seasonal rainfall and soil water availability, with temperature also directly influencing the controlling/shifting of the phenophases.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Botany is an international journal devoted to publishing a wide-range of research in plant sciences: biogeography, cytogenetics, ecology, economic botany, physiology and biochemistry, morphology and anatomy, molecular biology and diversity phycology, mycology, palynology, and systematics and phylogeny.
The journal considers for publications original articles, short communications, reviews, and letters to the editor.
Manuscripts describing new taxa based on morphological data only are suitable for submission; however information from multiple sources, such as ultrastructure, phytochemistry and molecular evidence are desirable.
Floristic inventories and checklists should include new and relevant information on other aspects, such as conservation strategies and biogeographic patterns.
The journal does not consider for publication submissions dealing exclusively with methods and protocols (including micropropagation) and biological activity of extracts with no detailed chemical analysis.
