摘要
Information on gas exchange of crop stands grown in controlled environments is limited, but is vital for assessing the use of crops for human life-support in closed habitats envisioned for space. Two studies were conducted to measure gas exchange of wheat stands (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yecora Rojo) grown from planting to maturity in a large (20 m2 canopy area), closed growth chamber. Daily rates of dark-period respiration and net photosynthesis of the stand were calculated from rates of CO2 build-up during dark cycles and subsequent CO2 drawdown in the light (i.e., a closed-system approach). Lighting was provided as a 20-h photoperiod by high-pressure sodium lamps, with canopy-level photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) ranging from 500 to 800 mumol m-2 s-1 as canopy height increased. Net photosynthesis rates peaked near 27 mumol CO2 m-2 s-1 at 25 d after planting, which corresponded closely with stand closure, and then declined slowly with age. Similarly, dark-period respiration rates peaked near 14 mumol CO2 m-2 s-1 at 25 d and then gradually declined with age. Responses to short-term changes in irradiance after canopy closure indicated the stand light compensation point for photosynthesis to be near 200 mumol m-2 s-1 PPFD. Tests in which CO2 concentration was raised to almost-equal-to 2000 mumol mol-1 and then allowed to draw down to a compensation point showed that net photosynthesis was nearly saturated at > 1000 mumol mol-1; below almost-equal-to 500 mumol mol-1, net photosynthesis rates dropped sharply with decreasing CO2. The CO2 compensation point for photosynthesis occurred near 50 mumol mol-1. Short-term (24 h) temperature tests showed net photosynthesis at 20-degrees-C greater-than-or-equal-to 16-degrees-C > 24-degrees-C, while dark-period respiration at 24-degrees-C > 20-degrees-C > 16-degrees-C. Rates of stand evapotranspiration peaked near Day 25 and remained relatively constant until about Day 75, after which rates declined slowly. Results from these tests will be used to model the use of plants for CO2 removal, O2 production, and water evaporation for controlled ecological life support systems proposed for extraterrestrial environments.
