摘要

Soil pH is among the major environmental factors affecting plant growth. Although the optimum range of soil pH for growth and the tolerance of pH extremes widely vary among plant species, the pH tolerance mechanisms in plants are still poorly understood. In this study, possible mechanisms were examined to explain the differences in tolerance of boreal plants to root zone pH. In the controlled-environment solution culture experiments, we compared growth, physiological parameters and tissue nutrient concentrations in aspen, white spruce and tamarack seedlings that were subjected to 8 weeks of root zone pH treatments ranging from 5.0 to 9.0. The pH treatments had little effect on dry weights and net photosynthesis in white spruce seedlings despite reductions in transpiration rates at higher pH levels. In aspen and tamarack, both the growth and physiological parameters significantly decreased at pH higher than 6.0. The chlorosis of young tissues in aspen and tamarack was associated with the reductions in foliar concentrations of several of the examined essential nutrients including Fe and Mn. Although the plants varied in their ability to deliver essential nutrients to growing leaves, there was no direct correlation between tissue nutrient concentrations, chlorophyll concentrations and plant growth. The results also demonstrated strong inhibition of transpiration rates by high pH. The results suggest that high root zone pH can upset water balance in pH sensitive species including aspen. Although the uptake and assimilation of essential elements such as Fe and Mn contribute to plant tolerance of high soil pH, we did not observe a direct relationship between growth and foliar nutrient concentrations to account for the observed differences in growth.
