Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: ZÚÑIGA,RAFAEL; ALBERDI,MIREN; REYES-DÍAZ,MARJORIE; OLIVARES,ERICK; HESS,SUSAN; BRAVO,LEÓN A; CORCUERA,LUIS J.
The evergreen Nothofagus dombeyi and Nothofagus nitida are important members of the temperate Chilean rainforest. They seldom grow together in nature. Nothofagus nitida is more susceptible to excess light and drought than N. dombeyi. We postulate that the different properties of the photosynthetic apparatus under common garden conditions of these species could explain their contrasting habitat preferences. The two species growing in a common garden in south central Chile were studied. The optimal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) of both species remained within normal values (»0.8) with the exception of a decrease in N. dombeyi at midday in summer, suggesting reversible reduction in photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII). During summer the...

Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. (Caryophyllaceae) está distribuida desde México hasta la Antártida Marítima formando poblaciones adaptadas a distintas condiciones microambientales a lo largo de su distribución. La Antártica Marítima se caracteriza por una estación de crecimiento más fría y breve, con crecientes niveles de radiación UV-B. Los Andes de Chile Central, en cambio, tienen oscilaciones térmicas más amplias y una elevada tasa de radiación UV-B. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer las estrategias y mecanismos antioxidantes adoptadas por los ecotipos Antártico y Andino para tolerar los efectos dañinos de la radiación UV-B y el frío bajo condiciones controladas de laboratorio. Postulamos que los individuos de C. quitensis provenientes de la...

Photosynthetic performance of Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth) Bartl. (Caryophyllaceae) in a high-elevation site of the Andes of central Chile
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: CASANOVA-KATNY,M. ANGÉLICA; BRAVO,LEÓN A; MOLINA-MONTENEGRO,MARCO; CORCUERA,LUIS J; CAVIERES,LOHENGRIN A.
Photosynthesis of Colobanthus quitensis and mesoclimatic conditions of air temperature and light intensity during the growing season were investigated at 2,650 m in the central Chilean Andes. On three typical days of the growing period (January, March and May), CO2 exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured. In addition, a series of fluorescence response curves with increasing light intensity at different temperatures were performed to estimate the propensity of Andean C. quitensis populations to be photoinhibited. Net Photosynthesis (Pn) was low (ca. 2.0 mmol CO2 m-2s-1) during the morning and noon in days with high photosynthetic active radiation (PAR, above 1,800 mmol photons m-2s-1). Pn increased in the afternoon (3.5-4.8 mmol CO2 m-2s-1) when...

Responses of two températe evergreen Nothofagus species to sudden and gradual waterlogging: relationships with distribution patterns
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: PIPER,FRIDA; ZÚÑIGA-FEEST,ALEJANDRA; ROJAS,PAULINA; ALBERDI,MIREN; CORCUERA,LUIS J; LUSK,CHRISTOPHER H.
The effects of gradual waterlogging on trees have been little studied. The températe evergreens Nothofagus nítida and N. dombeyi are differentially distributed on soil moisture gradients, only the former being common on poorly-drained sites. We compared the relative height growth rate (RGR H) and foliage loss of seedlings subjected experimentally to normal drainage (soil at field capacity), sudden waterlogging and gradual waterlogging for two months to determine which waterlogging regime more accurately predicts interspecific differences in tolerance, as evident from natural distributions. RGR H was similar between species but differed between treatments (normal watering &gt; gradual waterlogging = sudden waterlogging). Sudden waterlogging caused massive...

Photosynthetic responses to temperature and light of Antarctic and Andean populations of Colobanthus quitensis (Caryophyllaceae)
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: SIERRA-ALMEIDA,ÁNGELA; CASANOVA-KATNY,M. ANGÉLICA; BRAVO,LEÓN A; CORCUERA,LUIS J; CAVIERES,LOHENGRIN A.
Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth, 1831) Bartling (Caryophyllaceae) is characterized by a wide latitudinal distribution, ranging between the tropical high Andes and the Antarctic Peninsula. Although both habitat types are characterized by cold and freezing temperatures, important microclimatic differences exist during the growing season. Hence, important differences in the response of the photosynthetic apparatus to abiotic factors could be expected between Antarctic and Andean populations of C. quitensis. We studied the relationship between net photosynthesis, leaf temperature and light intensity in two populations of C. quitensis, one from La Parva in the Andes of central Chile and the other from King George Island, in the Maritime Antarctic. Plants from both...

Effects of light availability and growth rate on leaf lifespan of four temperate rainforest Proteaceae
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: LUSK,CHRISTOPHER H; CORCUERA,LUIS J.
Although comparative studies have revealed much about the environmental correlates of leaf lifespan and its integration with other leaf traits, a comprehensive theory of leaf lifespan is still lacking. The influence of growth rate on self-shading may be a key proximate determinant of both inter- and intra-specific variation in leaf lifespans. If this were the case, we would expect leaf lifespans of fast-growing light-demanding species to respond more strongly to light environment than those of shade-tolerant species. We monitored growth and leaf survival of juvenile trees of four temperate rainforest Proteaceae in southern Chile, in order to explore the influences of light environment and self-shading on leaf lifespan. Leaf lifespans tended to decrease...

Photochemical efficiency of PSII and photoprotective pigments in seedlings and adults of two Proteaceae with different shade tolerance from the Chilean temperate rain forest
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: ALBERDI,MIREN; REYES-DÍAZ,MARJORIE; ZÚÑIGA,RAFAEL; HESS,SUSAN; BRAVO,LEÓN A; CORCUERA,LUIS J.
The seasonal variation in energy quenching parameters of photosystem II and photoprotective pigments were studied in seedlings and adults of two Proteaceae: a shade-intolerant species (Embotrium coccineum J.R. et G. Forster) and a shade-tolerant species (Lomatia ferruginea (Cav.) R. Br.). We postúlate that the shade intolerant species favors photochemical energy driven processes (mainly C0(2) assimilation) while the shade tolerant species exhibits higher non-photochemical energy dissipation under unfavorable conditions. Moreover, the shade tolerant species presents lower seasonal variations in these parameters that the shade intolerant species. Differences in energy dissipation should be more evident in seedlings than adults because of their contrasting...

Effects of low temperature acclimation on photosynthesis in three Chilean Proteaceae
Provedor de dados: 97
Autores: CASTRO-ARÉVALO,MAURICIO; REYES-DÍAZ,MARJORIE; ALBERDI,MIREN; JARA-RODRÍGUEZ,VALERIA; SANHUEZA,CAROLINA; CORCUERA,LUIS J; BRAVO,LEÓN A.
Embothrium coccineum, Gevuina avellana, and Lomaría ferruginea grow in habitats contrasting in temperature and light intensity. Embothrium coccineum is a pioneer species that establishes itself in open sites completely exposed to variable sunlight and temperature. Gevuina avellana is usually found in more protected sites. Lomaría ferruginea regenerates under the canopy in sites with low thermal oscillations and high humidity. In order to establish an association of their habitats with functional attributes of each species, we studied their photosynthetic responses to temperature and light intensity. We expected that E. coccineum, which grows at full sun, is able to acclimate much better its photosynthetic apparatus to different temperatures than the shade...
