英文摘要 | Plants depend upon both genetic differences and phenotypic plasticity to cope with environmental variation over different timescales. The spatial variation in foliar delta C-13 levels along a moisture gradient represents an overlay of genetic and plastic responses. We hypothesized that such a spatial variation would be more obvious than the variation arising purely from a plastic response to moisture change. Leymus chinensis and Stipa spp. were sampled from Inner Mongolia along a dry-wet transect, and some of these species were transplanted to an area with a moisture gradient. For Stipa spp., the slope of foliar delta C-13 and mean annual precipitation along the transect was significantly steeper than that of foliar delta C-13 and mean annual precipitation after the watering treatment. For L.chinensis, there was a general decreasing trend in foliar delta(13)Cunder the different (increasing) watering levels; however, its populations showed an irregular relationship between foliar delta C-13 and moisture origin. Therefore, support for our hypothesis was obtained from Stipa spp., but not from L.chinensis. |
