“…The influence of T a , R s , and D on transpiration has been demonstrated by numerous studies (e.g. Granier et al, 1996;Huang et al, 2009). The hourly, compared to the daily, transpiration rate is a short duration measurement.…”

“…The process is regulated by a combination of biotic and abiotic forces that need to be evaluated when the performances of trees are considered. Microclimates characterized by solar radiation, wind, vapor pressure deficit, soil water content, rainfall, and temperature are the main external factors on tree transpiration (Granier et al, 1996;Mellander et al, 2004;Burgess, 2006;Huang et al, 2009). The canopy surface conductance and stand structure would further influence the outcomes (Granier et al, 1996).…”

a b s t r a c tTranspiration rates of six urban tree species in Beijing evaluated by thermal dissipation method for one year were correlated to environmental variables in heat, water, and pollutant groups. To sort out colinearity of the explanatory variables, their individual and joint contributions to variance of tree transpiration were determined by the variation and hierarchical partitioning methods. Majority of the variance in transpiration rates was associated with joint effects of variables in heat and water groups and variance due to individual effects of explanatory group were in comparison small. Atmospheric pollutants exerted only minor effects on tree transpiration. Daily transpiration rate was most affected by air temperature, soil temperature, total radiation, vapor pressure deficit, and ozone. Relative humidity would replace soil temperature when factors influencing hourly transpiration rate was considered.

“…The impact of drought on plant transpiration is an up-to-date question (Betsch et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2009;Klein et al, 2014), but the attempt to examine the correlations between transpiration rate of tree species and drought indices is relatively novel. Due to the high level of resistance and resilience of tree species against drought (with regard to the physiognomy of tree species starting from "water management" up to the depth of the rooting system), the expected effect of soil water shortage became evident only after several consecutive weeks characterised by the continuous meteorological drought.…”

The paper presents relationship between the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) and physiological responses of individual trees in a beech stand using an example of an experimental plot in Bienska valley (Zvolen, Slovakia). SPI is a widely used tool for monitoring both short-term and long-term droughts, and for the assessments of drought impacts on agriculture. Due to the complex ecosystem bonds, monitoring of drought in forests often requires a sophisticated technological approach. The aim of the paper was to correlate the SPI on the physiological responses of trees that were recorded during the performed physiological research (sap flow, and stem circumference increment) at the site in the growing seasons (May to September) of the years 2012-2014. The results revealed a relationship between the index and the physiological responses, although the problem with the impact of other environmental factors has also come up. The secondary correlation, in which soil water potential that significantly affects physiological responses of forest tree species was used as a dependent variable, showed a tighter relationship with the SPI. We found the highest correlation between the soil water potential and the values of SPI aggregated for five weeks. This indicates that the beech forest has a five week resistance to drought stress. The results also enable simple monitoring of the initiation of the drought stress by applying SPI for five weeks.

“…The karst mountainous region of Southwest China, an area spanning approximately 540,000 km 2 , is among the world's three largest continuous karst regions (Huang et al, 2009;Qi et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2013). Over the past decades, inappropriate agricultural practices and over-exploitation of sloping lands have caused these areas to suffer greatly from karst rocky desertification (KRD), resulting in severe soil erosion and widespread exposure of basement rocks (Wu et al, 2011).…”

“…Over the past decades, inappropriate agricultural practices and over-exploitation of sloping lands have caused these areas to suffer greatly from karst rocky desertification (KRD), resulting in severe soil erosion and widespread exposure of basement rocks (Wu et al, 2011). KRD events can have a large impact on the structure and functioning of ecosystems through a variety of effects on soil, including structure deterioration, texture and porosity degeneration, decline in water capacity, and leanness (Huang et al, 2009;Peng et al, 2013;Tang et al, 2013). Therefore, these events may lead to serious economic constraints on the development of affected regions.…”

ABSTRACT. Karst mountainous ecosystems are associated with karst rocky desertification (KRD), which can greatly impact soil structure and function. Despite the importance of soil microbes as a major factor maintaining ecosystem stability, we know little about the effect on soil fungal communities of KRD in karst regions. We investigated this relationship across a gradient of KRD soils from Guizhou, China by polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Fungal diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener, richness, and evenness) significantly differed (P < 0.05) based on KRD severity, being lowest in moderately affected areas. Cluster analysis showed that the five sites examined clustered into two main groups according to KRD grade (high and low). Moreover, a homology search using sequences recovered from PCR-DGGE bands showed that the dominant fungi in each community varied remarkably, and included Aspergillus, Aphanoascus, Blastomyces, Fusarium, Glomus, Geomyces, Gibberella, Mortierella, Tetracladium, and Tumularia species, and an unclassified group. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate that KRD has a significant impact on soil fungal communities.
