Plant stem flow and transpiration water consumption pick-up unit based on laser heat pulse
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of plant stem flow and transpiration water consumption pick-up unit, especially relate to a kind of plant stem flow and transpiration water consumption pick-up unit based on laser heat pulse.
Background technology
The growth of plant be unable to do without water, and water circulates in plant-atmosphere-soil, has guaranteed the vital movement of plant on the one hand, has kept ecological balance and development, also is the result of vital movement on the other hand.
China is the very deficient large agricultural country of water resource, the agricultural water amount accounts for 70% of total water consumption, therefore under the prerequisite that guarantees stable and high agricultural yields, greatly develops the reasonable utilization that water-saving irrigation realizes water resource, becoming the abundance of water high yield into the water saving high yield, is a very urgent and important task.
For a long time, people are the index of the relative humidity of soil moisture content or atmosphere as the control crop irrigation, but it is an indirect index after all,, hysteresis more blunt to the lack of water of reflection crop, and precision is low.Therefore the scientific research personnel is seeking a kind of plant physiology always and is needing the direct indicator of water information as the reflection plant hydropenia, so that obtain comparison sensitivity, rapid and accurate information.The reliable water information that needs has been arranged, just can accomplish when plant needs water, in time, moderately irrigation, this is the basis of water-saving irrigation Control System Design.
Plant absorbs moisture from soil, transpiring moisture in atmosphere again simultaneously, and the moisture in the plant is lost to process in the atmosphere with gaseous state, is called transpiration.The moisture that common plant absorbs from soil has only only a few to be used for the substance in vivo metabolism---and account for 1.5~2%, the overwhelming majority is scattered and disappeared in the modes of transpiration.In order to realize water-saving irrigation, must relate to the mensuration of crop evapotranspiration, require in many cases to be decomposed into the total evapotranspiration of crop rising and evaporation two parts.Transpiration that it is generally acknowledged crop is that to finish the crop normal physiological processes necessary, and the inevitable echard loss of following in the farmland evaporation process rising process that is crop.Simple rising mensuration is the comparison difficulty, the method of existing practical measurement farmland water consumption, the volume of water input balancing method, the energy equilibrium ripple ratio is sent out, Weighing Lysimeter method and vortex correlation method all can only be measured the field evapotranspiration total amount, and it can't be decomposed into rising and evaporation two parts.
Because the rising of liquid stream is referred to as stemflow in the stem that the plant transpiration effect causes.The stemflow amount equals the product of stemflow speed and flora conduit area, and the area change of conduit is extremely slowly, in a period of time, can think a constant, therefore just can draw the transpiration rate of plant by the stemflow speed of measuring plant, thereby provide a kind of method of moisture measurement for plant-atmosphere-soil continuous system; Stemflow more is applicable to the physiology course that monitors crop as a kind of water physiological indexes than soil moisture, instructs the farmland precision irrigation.
Assay method to plant stem flow has many kinds such as gravimetric method and calorimetry at present.Calorimetry is a method of utilizing the heat source generator and the measurement detector stemflow that are installed in base of the plant.Calorimetry stemflow measuring technology can be divided into two big classifications according to measuring principle: hot wave velocity method and heat balance method of.
Hot wave velocity method (Heat Plus Velocity), its ultimate principle is: pass to the of short duration electric current that promptly dies to electrical heating elements, the fluctuation of generation thermal pulse, on hot spot or the laying temperature detecting element of downstream, the temperature variation curve at place, record stem stalk monitoring point, according to thermodynamic (al) diffusion model, derivation flow stream velocity and flow quantity.According to different detection methods and diffusion model, it is several to be divided into thermal pulse method, thermal diffusion method and thermal field distortion again.These class methods are in testing process, and thermal source and detecting element all need in the invaded plants stem.Its weak point is: 1) will punch so that put into thermal source and pick-up unit in the stem of plant; Changed the stemflow state of plant itself; 2) when installing, be easy to make well heater and probe well to aim at, thereby influence measurement result; 3) may cause xylem to lose activity in Jia Re the process, thus the result's that influence is surveyed accuracy.
Heat balance method of (Thermal Heat Balance), its principle of work is: pass to electrical heating elements and stablize lasting electric current, produce lasting heat input, the input heat can be taken away by the stem liquid that flows, also can look like the surrounding space radiation simultaneously, according to the model of thermal diffusion, calculate the heat of the heat taken away by stem liquid and space diffusion towards periphery, the heat of taking away according to stem liquid etc. can be extrapolated flow rate of liquid and flow in the stem stalk.The difficult point of these class methods is the foundation of model of thermal diffusion and accuracy of model thereof etc.
Thermal pulse plant stem flow measurement products all is an imported product at present, at home on the market mainly by the SF series stem flow sensor of Greenspan and Australian British Commonwealth science and industrial research tissue (CSIRO) joint research and development exploitation, the HRM thermal ratio method stemflow probe that Australian ICT Co. produces.Its characteristics:
First: the heat transfer type when all products all adopt contact, some are arranged or even heating and detecting element will be imbedded inside plants by the mode of punching with element, the normal physiological that this has obviously destroyed plant makes the data that collect can not reflect the normal physiological situation of plant.The second, the method for employing is by measuring the variation of check point thermal pulse thermal diffusion curve, calculate heat fluctuation speed, again heat fluctuation speed is carried out second degree trinomial expression or three trinomial recurrence and correction, could obtaining the stemflow flow velocity.The 3rd: existing product mainly is applicable to xylophytas such as fruit-bearing forest, measures the problem that there is burn stem stalk in herbaceous plant, is subjected to the restriction of resolution, and this problem can not add heat by minimizing and solve; In addition, imported product costs an arm and a leg.
