Drought-related root morphological traits and non-structural carbohydrates in the seedlings of the alien Quercus rubra and the native Quercus robur: possible implication for invasiveness
Quercus rubra L. is a moderately shade-tolerant tree species native to eastern North America, readily regenerating since its introduction in the Central and Southern European forests to displace the native pedunculate oak (Quercus robur). Under a scenario of increasing drought, understanding the seedling responses of these two species to water limitation is critical for forest conservation and management. To this aim, morphological, physiological and non-structural carbohydrates analyzes were performed on very-fine and fine roots of Q. robur and Q. rubra seedlings grown under controlled conditions and exposed to two levels of drought before allowing them to recover. Results show significant differences between species for all the investigated traits. The alien Q. rubra showed lower shoot and root biomasses than the native Q. robur, particularly for the thicker fine root 1–2 mm diameter class. However, both species equally invested more biomass in the shoot than the root system (R:S ratio <1). A significant response to drought was observed for the 0.5–1 mm fine root class, with moderate and severe droughted seedlings showing slightly higher biomass than control, particularly in Q. rubra. The overall growth reduction of Q. rubra suggests that the costs associated with the construction and maintenance outweigh the inputs from aboveground, as supported by the lower values of photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), quantum yield (ΦPSII) of PSII and stomatal conductance. In particular, the reduced stomatal conductance assured high midday leaf water potential (i.e., tissue hydration levels) at the expense of growth. The low starch concentration in Q. rubra’s very-fine roots correlated positively with the low photochemical efficiency under drought conditions, probably due to the reduction of photosynthate inputs from aboveground. In contrast to the anisohydric behavior reported, these outcomes highlight a rather isohydric behavior for Q. rubra, at least at the seedling stage and in the adopted experimental conditions, making this species highly competitive under the drier condition in the canopy openings during the summer period.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
