Résumé : This work aimed at understanding the role of mycorrhizal status in phosphorus efficiency of tree seedlings in the tropical rainforest of French Guyana. * Mycorrhizal colonization, growth, phosphorus content, net photosynthesis and root respiration were determined on three occasions during a 9-month growth period for seedlings of two co-occurring species (Dicorynia guianensis and Eperua falcata) grown at three soil phosphorus concentrations, with or without inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizas. * Seedlings of both species were unable to absorb phosphorus in the absence of mycorrhizal association. Mycorrhizal seedlings exhibited coils that are specific of Paris-type mycorrhizae. Both species benefited from the mycorrhizal symbiosis in terms of phosphorus acquisition but the growth of E. falcata seedlings was unresponsive to this mycorrhizal improvement of phosphorus status, probably because of the combination of high seed mass and P reserves, with low growth rate. * The two species belong to two different functional groups regarding phosphorus acquisition, D. guianensis being an obligate mycotrophic species.

Résumé : Functional aspects of biodiversity were investigated in a lowland tropical rainforest in French Guyana (5°2'N, annual precipitation 2200 mm). We assessed leaf '15N as a presumptive indicator of symbiotic N2 fixation, and leaf and wood cellulose '13C as an indicator of leaf intrinsic water-use efficiency (CO2 assimilation rate/leaf conductance for water vapour) in dominant trees of 21 species selected for their representativeness in the forest cover, their ecological strategy (pioneers or late successional stage species, shade tolerance) or their potential ability for N2 fixation. Similar measurements were made in trees of native species growing in a nearby plantation after severe perturbation (clear cutting, mechanical soil disturbance). Bulk soil '15N was spatially quite uniform in the forest (range 3-5‰), whereas average leaf '15N ranged from m0.3‰ to 3.5‰ in the different species. Three species only, Diplotropis purpurea, Recordoxylon speciosum (Fabaceae), and Sclerolobium melinonii (Caesalpiniaceae), had root bacterial nodules, which was also associated with leaf N concentrations higher than 20 mg gm1. Although nodulated trees displayed significantly lower leaf '15N values than non-nodulated trees, leaf '15N did not prove a straightforward indicator of symbiotic fixation, since there was a clear overlap of '15N values for nodulated and non-nodulated species at the lower end of the '15N range. Perturbation did not markedly affect the difference '15Nsoil m '15Nleaf, and thus the isotopic data provide no evidence of an alteration in the different N acquisition patterns. Extremely large interspecific differences in sunlit leaf '13C were observed in the forest (average values from m31.4 to m26.7‰), corresponding to intrinsic water-use efficiencies (ratio CO2 assimilation rate/leaf conductance for water vapour) varying over a threefold range. Wood cellulose '13C was positively related to total leaf '13C, the former values being 2-3‰ higher than the latter ones. Leaf '13C was not related to leaf '15N at either intraspecific or interspecific levels. '13C of sunlit leaves was highest in shade hemitolerant emergent species and was lower in heliophilic, but also in shade-tolerant species. For a given species, leaf '13C did not differ between the pristine forest and the disturbed plantation conditions. Our results are not in accord with the concept of existence of functional types of species characterized by common suites of traits underlying niche differentiation; rather, they support the hypothesis that each trait leads to a separate grouping of species.

Résumé :  
Genetic variation for intrinsic water use efficiency (W i) and related traits was estimated in a full-sib family of Quercus robur L. over 3 years. The genetic linkage map available for this F1 family was used to locate quantitative trait loci (QTL) for W i, as estimated by leaf carbon stable isotope composition (δ 13C) or the ratio of net CO2 assimilation rate (A) to stomatal conductance to water vapour (g w) and related leaf traits. Gas exchange measurements were used to standardize estimates of A and g w and to model the sensitivity of g w to leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit (sgVPD). δ 13C varied by more than 3‰ among the siblings, which is equivalent to 40% variation of W i. Most of the studied traits exhibited high clonal mean repeatabilities (>50%; proportion of clonal mean variability in global variance). Repeatabilities for δ 13C, leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf nitrogen content were higher than 70%. For δ 13C, ten QTLs were detected, one of which was detected repeatedly for all 3 years and consistently explained more than 20% of measured variance. Four genomic regions were found in which co-localizing traits linked variation in W i to variations in leaf chlorophyll and nitrogen content, LMA and sgVPD. A positive correlation using clonal means between δ 13C and A/g w, as well as a co-localisation of QTL detected for both traits, can be seen as validation of the theoretical model linking the genetic architecture of these two traits.

Résumé : International audience
We assessed the extent of recent environmental changes on leaf morphological (stomatal density, stomatal surface, leaf mass per unit area) and physiological traits (carbon isotope composition, δ(13)C(leaf) , and discrimination, Δ(13)C(leaf) , oxygen isotope composition, δ(18)O(leaf) ) of two tropical rainforest species (Dicorynia guianensis; Humiria balsamifera) that are abundant in the Guiana shield (Northern Amazonia). Leaf samples were collected in different international herbariums to cover a 200 year time-period (1790-2004) and the whole Guiana shield. Using models describing carbon and oxygen isotope fractionations during photosynthesis, different scenarios of change in intercellular CO(2) concentrations inside the leaf (C(i)), stomatal conductance (g), and photosynthesis (A) were tested in order to understand leaf physiological response to increasing air CO(2) concentrations (C(a)). Our results confirmed that both species displayed physiological response to changing C(a) . For both species, we observed a decrease of about 1.7‰ in δ(13)C(leaf) since 1950, without significant change in Δ(13)C(leaf) and leaf morphological traits. Furthermore, there was no clear change in δ(18)O(leaf) for Humiria over this period. Our simulation approach revealed that an increase in A, rather than a decrease in g, explained the observed trends for these tropical rainforest species, allowing them to maintain a constant ratio of C(i)/C(a) .

Résumé :  
The lack of information on the ways seasonal drought modifies the CO2 exchange between Neotropical rainforest ecosystems and the atmosphere and the resulting carbon balance hinders our ability to precisely predict how these ecosystems will respond as global environmental changes force them to face increasingly contrasting conditions in the future. To address this issue, seasonal variations in daily net ecosystem productivity (NEPd) and two main components of this productivity, daily total ecosystem respiration (REd) and daily gross ecosystem productivity (GEPd), were estimated over 2 years at a flux tower site in French Guiana, South America (511605400N, 5215404400W). We compared seasonal variations between wet and dry periods and between dry periods of contrasting levels of intensity (i.e. mild vs. severe) during equivalent 93-day periods. During the wet periods, the ecosystem was almost in balance with the atmosphere (storage of 9.0 gCm_2). Seasonal dry periods, regardless of their severity, are associated with higher incident radiation and lower REd combined with reduced soil respiration associated with low soil water availability. During the mild dry period, as is normally the case in this region, the amount of carbon stored in the ecosystem was 32.7 gCm_2. Severe drought conditions resulted in even lower REd, whereas the photosynthetic activity was only moderately reduced and no change in canopy structure was observed. Thus, the severe dry period was characterized by greater carbon storage (64.6 gCm_2), emphasizing that environmental conditions, such as during a severe drought, modify the CO2 exchange between Neotropical rainforest ecosystems and the atmosphere and potentially the resulting carbon balance.

Résumé : We characterised the among species variability in leaf gas exchange and morphological traits under controlled conditions of seedlings of 22 tropical rainforest canopy species to understand the origin of the variability in leaf carbon isotope discrimination (Delta) among species with different growth and dynamic characteristics (successional gradient). Our results first suggest that these species pursue a consistent strategy in terms of (Delta) throughout their ontogeny (juveniles grown here versus canopy adult trees from the natural forest). Second, leaf (Delta) was negatively correlated with WUE and N, and positively correlated with gs, but among species differences in (Delta) were mainly explained by differences in WUE. Finally, species belonging to different successional groups display distinct leaf functional and morphological traits. We confirmed that fast growing early successional species maximise carbon assimilation with high stomatal conductance. In contrast, fast and slow growing late successional species are both characterised by low carbon assimilation values, but by distinct stomatal conductance and leaf morphological features. Along the successional gradient, these differences result in much lower (Delta) for the intermediate species (i.e. fast growing late successional) as compared to the two other groups.

Because soil respiration representes 80% of ecosystem respiration, it is a major flux between biosphere and atmosphere. We examined the effects of root and litter exclusion on soil CO! efflux (Rsu1) using trenching and litter exclusion in a tropical plantation constituted of trees seedlings installed in 16 mono-specific stands 20 years ago near Kourou, French Guyana. Soil CO2 efflux was measured using an infra red gas analyser (PP System,EGM4 ) at 16 randomly distributed plot in each treatment: control, root exclusion, litter exclusion and both root and litter exclusion. in the plantation. We measured R'1l1during four periods, and we have collected soil samples, litter biomass and measured moisture at 5 cm depth in the soil. Soil CO, efflux varied significantly among species from 2,8±O,7f1mo l. m''. s' (mean ± standard deviation) to 7.4± 1.7fLmol. n'-' . s ' for Qualea rosea and Vochys ia tomentosa, respectively. 1'0 significant correlation was found between RSIlI variability and soil moisture, which is mostly related to soil texture in the experimental site. Soil CO2 efflux was significantly reduced in litter exclusion treatment and root exclusion plots (6 months litter and/or root exclusion) during ail measurements period and for ail species, compared to control plots. The reduction of soil CO, efflux was higher in plot without root than in plot without litter of control plot (42% and 25%, respectively). There was an import ant specific diversity in these reductions . We estimated the contribution of roof respiration (Rr) to total Rso1 by calculating the difference between Rso1 control and Rsn l root exclusion plot corrected for the decomposition of root that were killed following t re n e h in ~. Thus the heterotrophic component of soil carbon efflux accounts for 46% of total carbon efflux (1,9f1 mol. rn" . s•') while root respiration accounts for 54% of soil carbon release (2,3 ~t mo l. m-2 S-I) . Because there was a negative and significant correlation between microbial respiration (Rrn) and C/N of mature leaves it seemed to be possible to predict Rm if we known the mature leaves quality. In addition a good estimate theorical R ~, values from R~, measured in different treatments.
La respiration du sol en représentant une part de 80% de la respiration de l'écosystème apparaît être un flux majeur entre la biosphère et l'atmosphère. Nous avons étudié les effets de l'exclusion racinaire et de la litière sur le flux de CO, du sol (R ~ , ) en utilisant la méthode de " Trench-plots" et de suppression de litière dans une plantation d'arbres tropicaux. Ces arbres, âgés de 20 ans ont été plantés sur un sol uniforme, près de Kourou en Guyane française, en 16 placeaux mono-spécifiques. Pour mesurer les flux de CO2 provenant du sol, nous avons utilisé un analyseur différentiel de gaz infrarouge portable muni d'une chambre. Les mesures ont été faites sur 4 traitements différents tels que : le contrôle, l'exclusion racinaire, l'exclusion de litière et l'exclusion de litière et de racine et ce, répétés sur chacune des 16 placettes mono-spécifiques. Cette étude comporte 4 campagnes de mesures. Nous avons également effectué des prélèvements de sol de litière et nous avons fait des mesures d’humidité de sol à une profondeur de 5 cm. Les flux de C01 du sol varient fortement entre espèces de 2.8±O.7 ~t m o 1. m-2. sol à 7 A± 1. 7 ~t m o l. m•1 sol pour Qua/ev rosea ct Vochysto tomentasa, respectivement. Il n'existe pas de corrélation significative entre les variations de Rw l ct celles de l'humidité du sol (indication sur la texture du sol de la plantation ). Nous avons observé que Rso1 était significativement plus faible dans les placeaux sans racines et/ou sans litière (6 mois après la mise en place de l'expérimentation) pour toutes les campagnes de mesures et pour toutes les espèces que dans les placeaux contrôlés. Cette réduction du flux de CO2 du sol est plus forte dans les "trench-plots " que dans les traitement s d'exclusion de litière avec 42 et 25% respectivement. Un effet "traitement " et un effet "espèce" important expliquent 3 1"/.. ct 13% de la variabilité totale de R~. Nous avons cherché à connaître la contribution des racines dans les valeurs de R""I. en comparant le flux de CO2 provenant du sol sur des "trench -plot s'' au flux de COl provenant du sol dans les placeaux contrôlés . Cette estimation a été corrigée pour prendre en compte la décomposition des racines tuées par les tranchées. Ainsi, la composante appartenant aux micro -organismes représente 46% du flux total de carbone provenant du sol (1.9Jlmo l. m-2 S•I ) alors que la respiration des racines représente 54% du dégagement de carbone (2 ,3~lmol. m ol . 5-La respiration des micro-organismes pourrait être estimée en mesurant le C/N des feuilles matures puisqu'il existe une corrélation significative et négative entre les deux. Enfin les résultats obtenus sur les différents traitements permettent d'obtenir une bonne estimation de la respiration du sol avec un RSIlI théorique corrélé à 66% avec les valeurs réelles mesurées.

Résumé : HYDRO
The objective of this study was to examine the water relations and hydraulic architecture and vulnerability to cavitation in Virola surinamensis and V. michelii and to compare to similar measurements in Eperua falcata. In several previous reports Virola was seen to have a rather narrow range of xylem pressure potentials ( Yx) near zero in the course of a wet-season day while having water fluxes quite close to Eperua. We tested the hypothesis that the narrow range of Yx might be consistent with very high hydraulic conductivities of stems, roots and shoots and high vulnerability to cavitation in Virola compared to Eperua. When this hypothesis proved false we concluded that the previous determinations of Y x might be wrong in Virola due to latex. We re-examined the determination of Yx in Virola by the pressure chamber technique and compared results to determination of Yleaf by the thermocouple psychrometer technique and found that the likely range of Yx are more negative than previously reported. Problems concerning the determination of Yx in species with latex are discussed.
