Abstract:

To study the physiological response of plants to different water-retaining measures in ecological restoration of mining area, the authors used CIRAS-2 (PP-Systems) photosynthesis instrument to determine the photosynthetic index of Sorghum sudanense, which often used to repair plant, and discussed the physiological response of Sorghum sudanense to different water-retaining measures under high temperature. The results showed that the daily change of photosynthetic rate Pn and instantaneous water use efficiency WUE presented a “W” curve, and the Tr diurnal change of transpiration rate was a “M” curve. The Pn of Sorghum sudanense had the phenomenon of lunch break, which was mainly affected by non-stomatal factor. The main environmental factors affecting the Sorghum sudanense Pn and Tr were atmospheric CO2 concentration Ca, atmospheric temperature Tc and atmospheric relative humidity RH. Covering burning stone on the soil and adding fly ash could both significantly increase the Pn and WUE of Sorghum sudanense and enhance the adaptability of Sorghum sudanense to high temperature environment. From the index of Pn, the treatment of soil surface covered with burning stone was better than the treatment of adding fly ash in soil, but the effect of the both at the same time was slightly lower than that of using burning stone alone, and the reason needs to be further studied.
