Abstract: Atmosphere CO2 concentration is accumulating to an unprecedented concentration with human activities. The increase of CO2,an important substrate for photosynthesis,will affect plant growth and competitiveness. Therefore,it’s of great importance to explore the changes in alien plant competitiveness under the background of increasing CO2 concentration in the future. In this study,CO2 concentrations controlled by an artificial climate incubator were used to measure the changes in the competitiveness of invasive Wedelia trilobata in competition with the congenetic native W. chinensis. The results showed that,compared with W.chinensis,elevated CO2 reduced the biomass accumulation of W.trilobata,and significantly reduced the elongation of the stem (P=0.042). Although the stem length of the W.trilobata in mixed treatment did not show a significant difference,the competition eliminated the shortening of the stem length caused by the increase of CO2 concentration. On the whole,invasive plant W. trilobata could change the resource allocation to respond to a negative impact,caused by the increase of CO2 concentration,on its competitiveness,resulted in that more resources will be used for stem elongation to occupy more areas.

摘要: 大气二氧化碳(Carbon dioxide,CO2)浓度正随着人类活动向着前所未有的浓度积累。作为光合作用的重要底物,CO2的增加会对植物生长及竞争能力产生影响,因此,研究未来CO2浓度升高背景下植物竞争力的变化对预测未来全球变化背景下植物群落演替及外来植物入侵具有重要意义。本研究以人工气候培养箱控制CO2浓度,探究了入侵克隆植物南美蟛蜞菊(Wedelia trilobata)与本地蟛蜞菊(W. chinensis)的生长和竞争对CO2浓度增加的响应。结果表明,相比于本地蟛蜞菊而言,升高CO2浓度减少了南美蟛蜞菊的生物量积累,并显著影响了茎的伸长(P=0.042),虽然混合种植中南美蟛蜞菊的茎长未表现明显差异,但竞争消除了CO2浓度升高引起的茎长缩短。综合来看,尽管升高CO2浓度减弱了南美蟛蜞菊对本地蟛蜞菊的竞争力,但南美蟛蜞菊可以通过改变在竞争中资源分配策略,使其将更多的资源用于茎段的伸长,主动向外拓张以占领更多的空间。
