芦芽山华北落叶松林不同龄级立木的点格局分析

华北落叶松林是芦芽山自然保护区的重要林型。对其建群种华北落叶松不同龄级个体的分布格局及其相互关系进行了研究。植物种群在群落中的分布格局与空间尺度有着密切关系,这里采用能够分析各种尺度下格局的分析方法——点格局分析法,其是以种群个体空间分布的坐标点图为基础。结果表明,芦芽山华北落叶松不同龄级密度差异较大,高龄级密度较大;目前华北落叶松是稳定型种群,但从长远看．,仍需人工协助更新;华北落叶松5个龄级集群分布特征比较明显,且随着龄级的增加,集群特征有更明显的趋势;各个龄级个体之间在各种尺度下都有比较显著的正关联,3～5龄级个体关联更为显著;点格局分析法能够分析各种尺度下的种群格局和种间关系,所描述的结果更符合实际,尤其是对群落结构的描述。     

华西雨屏区白夹竹分株种群的点格局分析

采用点格局分析方法对华西雨屏区白夹竹分株种群的分布格局以及不同龄级分株之间的相互关系进行分析.结果表明：白夹竹分株种群在0～0.32 m空间尺度上呈集群分布,0.64～4.48 m空间尺度上呈均匀分布,>4.48 m空间尺度上呈随机分布.各龄级分株种群在0～8.00 m空间尺度上主要呈随机分布,龄级间略有差别.其中,Ⅰ龄级与Ⅱ、Ⅲ龄级分别在1.76～4.16 m、0.32～4.16 m尺度上接近或达到空间负关联,与Ⅳ龄级在0.32～3.04 m尺度上呈显著空间负关联,表现为随着龄级差距的加大,幼龄分株与高龄级分株的空间负关联增加.白夹竹分株种群的空间格局及不同龄级分株之间的相互关系由尺度、分株龄级及环境因素共同决定.     

北京松山自然保护区天然油松林不同龄级立木的空间点格局

华北山地典型天然次生林群落的树种空间分布格局及其关联性

关帝山华北落叶松、云杉、杨桦天然次生林植被类型是华北高海拔地带代表性的森林类型。以该地区上述3种典型的天然次生林群落为例,运用点格局分析中的单变量O-ring统计方法,分析各群落主要树种的种群空间分布格局;用双变量O-ring统计方法,分析各群落中树种间的空间关联性;并对同一树种在不同森林群落类型中种群空间分布格局和种间关联性的变化进行比较,以探讨华北山地次生林群落空间格局形成和种群维持与动态机制。研究结果表明,(1)各种群在相对小的尺度上聚集分布特征明显,随尺度增加树木种群的聚集性减弱并逐渐表现出随机分布的格局特征;(2)同一树种在不同森林群落类型中空间分布格局差异很大。红桦、白桦和山杨在阔叶林中呈明显的小尺度聚集分布格局,而在针叶林群落呈随机分布。在阔叶次生林中混生的小龄级华北落叶松呈现聚集性空间分布格局。在华北落叶松为优势树种的针叶林中,大龄级的华北落叶松表现出小尺度上均匀分布和较大尺度上随机分布的格局特征;(3)各群落中树种间的空间关联性主要表现在小尺度范围,随尺度加大空间关联性逐渐不明显;(4)在阔叶树占优势的次生林,小龄级华北落叶松与桦木的分布有较明显的空间正关联性,而在华北落叶松为优势树种的针叶林,桦与华北落叶松并未表现明显的空间关联性。种群分布格局和种群间的空间关联性随群落结构、空间尺度和龄级结构不同而有较大变化。     

皖南山区南方红豆杉种群不同龄级立木的点格局分析

采用点格局分析方法O-ring统计,利用Programita软件对皖南山区霞乡村和仙寓山的南方红豆杉种群不同龄级个体的分布格局及其相互关系进行了分析.结果表明：霞乡村南方红豆杉种群各尺度下均表现为随机分布,而仙寓山南方红豆杉种群在2～25 m的空间尺度上呈随机分布,＜2 m尺度上为集群分布;仙寓山种群Ⅰ龄级在＜5 m尺度上呈集群分布,而高龄级个体在较多尺度上有偏离随机分布的倾向.随着龄级差距的加大,南方红豆杉幼龄个体与其他个体的空间负关联逐渐显现,而相邻龄级在空间分布上相互独立,关联性很小.南方红豆杉种群的这种空间关系有利于其对资源环境的有效利用,随着个体的生长,南方红豆杉种群的空间分布有一个从聚集到随机的过渡.     

山西灵空山刺五加种群空间分布格局及种间空间关联性

以山西灵空山自然保护区刺五加(Acanthopanax senticosus(Rupr.Maxim.)Harms)种群为对象,采用空间点格局方法中的Ripley’s K函数,对刺五加种群不同龄级的空间分布格局及其与主要灌木物种间的空间关联性进行研究,并对种群空间分布格局进行可视化解析。结果显示,刺五加种群中幼年个体数量多,径级结构呈金字塔型,为增长型种群,能够实现持续更新;刺五加种群的径级Ⅰ在小尺度上呈聚集分布,随着尺度增大出现随机分布;径级Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ在全尺度上呈聚集分布,径级Ⅴ、Ⅵ在小尺度上为聚集分布,随着龄级和空间尺度的增大,刺五加种群聚集强度渐弱,呈现随机分布;刺五加种内关联在全尺度上呈正相关,但与群落中主要灌木在小尺度上呈不相关或负相关,在大尺度上呈负相关。研究表明刺五加的生长条件较为适宜,并可以通过相互之间的庇护作用,减弱种内竞争,但与其他树种间存在强烈竞争,生存现状较差,在群落中处于劣势。     

亚高寒草甸不同坡向金露梅种群的空间分布格局及空间关联

植物种群在不同干扰条件下对环境的适应对策可以通过其空间分布格局及关联性反映出来.金露梅是甘南亚高寒草甸中的优势种,通过野外群落调查,运用空间点格局分析的Ripley K函数,分析甘南不同坡向亚高寒草甸中金露梅种群的空间分布格局及其关联性.结果表明: 金露梅种群在3个坡向的分布具有显著差异,重要值、生物量和盖度在北坡均高于南坡;北坡和西坡金露梅种群Ⅰ、Ⅱ级个体在小尺度上呈显著聚集分布,随着龄级和空间尺度的增加,金露梅种群聚集强度逐渐减弱,趋向于随机分布;南坡由于其生境条件对金露梅生长的抑制,种间竞争激烈,各级金露梅种群的分布格局均以随机分布为主;不同坡向的金露梅种群Ⅰ、Ⅱ级个体之间在一定尺度内表现为负关联,随着尺度增加,关联度降低,Ⅲ、Ⅳ级与Ⅰ、Ⅱ级个体之间的关联性呈显著负关联;较大个体之间无明显关系,表明年龄接近的个体在空间分布上是相互独立的,利于其充分利用环境资源.     

宁夏珍稀濒危植物半日花种群结构和点格局分析

半日花是国家二级珍稀濒危植物,其种群数量日益减少,分布区破碎化。以宁夏新记录物种半日花为研究对象,分析在沙地和砾石质两种生境下半日花种群结构、各龄级的空间分布格局及关联性。结果表明: 宁夏青铜峡地区半日花个体主要集中在龄级Ⅲ,种群年龄结构呈倒三角形,种群正在衰退。种群空间分布格局与不同龄级间空间关联性受生境条件的影响较大,并且对空间尺度表现出很强的依赖性,与沙地生境相比,砾石质生境中半日花种群更趋向于聚集分布,各个龄级之间的正相关性也更明显,这种差别与两种生境的环境条件和群落结构有关。半日花种群中幼龄个体(龄级Ⅰ和龄级Ⅱ)具有相互依赖的生态关系。     

南方红豆杉迁地保护种群的点格局分析

南方红豆杉为国家I级珍稀濒危保护植物。为阐明其迁地保护种群的空间分布格局,采用点格局分析法对南京紫金山西麓各龄级南方红豆杉的空间格局进行测定,并分析其不同龄级的相互关系。结果表明:Ⅰ龄级个体在小尺度(1~4 m)和大尺度(10~15m)下呈随机分布,中尺度(4~10 m)下为集群分布,Ⅱ龄级个体在所有尺度下均为集群分布,而Ⅲ龄级个体在所有尺度下均呈随机分布,总体上看,该迁地种群呈现集群分布;龄级Ⅰ与Ⅱ的个体之间,在1~4 m和10~15 m下呈正关联,而在4~10 m下无显著关联,龄级Ⅰ与Ⅲ的个体在1~6 m和13~15 m下无显著关联,而在6~13 m下呈负关联;Ⅱ与Ⅲ龄级个体在所有尺度下均无关联;目前南方红豆杉迁地种群以低龄级个体为主,主要呈现集群分布,并且不同龄级从小到大表现出与野生种群相似的空间格局,因此建议对母株附近的紫金山次生林应尽量减少人为干扰并保护其生境,这将有利于该种群规模的增加及分布面积的扩展。     

青海云杉不同龄级立木的点格局分析

本文以祁连山优势种群青海云杉作为研究对象,在天老池小流域典型地段设置一个100 m×70 m的样地,采用点格局分析法分析其不同龄级的空间分布格局和空间关联性。结果表明:(1)青海云杉的年龄结构相对比较稳定,呈弱增长型;(2)龄级Ⅰ个体在不同空间尺度下都表现出明显的集群分布;龄级Ⅱ个体,在0~31 m尺度内呈集群分布,在大于31 m的范围内趋于随机分布;龄级Ⅲ个体,除在6~24 m范围内呈集群分布外,在其余空间尺度都表现为随机分布。随着青海云杉龄级的增大,其空间分布格局逐渐趋向于随机分布。(3)龄级Ⅰ和龄级Ⅱ个体,在0~20 m呈显著的负关联,在20~23 m其关联性减弱,大于23 m时趋于正关联;龄级Ⅰ和龄级Ⅲ个体,在所有尺度下均呈显著负关联;龄级Ⅱ和龄级Ⅲ个体,在所有尺度内都表现出负关联性。基于低龄级个体数量多且在小尺度上呈聚集分布的现状,从长远角度考虑,应适当对其进行疏伐,以此来扩大其生存空间,减小生存压力。     

Point pattern analysis of different age-classes of Larix principis-rupprechtii in Luya Mountain Reserve, Shanxi Province, China

Larix principis-rupprechtii forest is an important vegetation formation and has a large distribution area in Luya Mountain Reserve,China.Spatial pattern analysis on individual trees in different age-classes of Larix principisrupprechtii was made in this paper.Here,we employed the technique of point pattern analysis,which could analyze patterns under all scales along a gradient.It was based on spatial mapped points of individual distribution.The results of this study showed that the densities of the five age-classes varied in the order:age-class 3＞age-class 4＞age-class 5＞age-class 2＞age-class 1.Although age-classes 1 and 2 have much fewer individuals than other three age-classes do,the population was stable at present.However,it would be necessary to take some measures for improving population regeneration for a long-time view.The individuals of all age-classes focused on clumping distribution in space;however,their distribution pattern varied with the change of scale.This mainly depended on biological features of Larix principis-rupprechtii and forest environments,but it also meant that the scale was an important factor in controlling spatial distribution pattern of tree individuals.The feature of clumping distribution became more significant with the increase of age.The relationships between individuals in different age-classes were almost all significantly correlated with each other.These associations became more significant within the older age-classes.This suggested that the individuals of different age-classes were interdistributed,by which the population could get benefits in resource utilization.The technique of point pattern analysis is effective and easy to be used in species pattern study.Its results are more closer to the reality,especially for community structure.     

Point pattern analysis of different age-classes of Larix principis-rupprechtii in Luya Mountain Reserve, Shanxi Province, China

Larix principis-rupprechtii forest is an important vegetation formation and has a large distribution area in Luya Mountain Reserve, China. Spatial pattern analysis on individual trees in different age-classes of Larix principis-rupprechtii was made in this paper. Here, we employed the technique of point pattern analysis, which could analyze patterns under all scales along a gradient. It was based on spatial mapped points of individual distribution. The results of this study showed that the densities of the five age-classes varied in the order: age-class 3 > age-class 4 > age-class 5 > age-class 2 > age-class 1. Although age-classes 1 and 2 have much fewer individuals than other three age-classes do, the population was stable at present. However, it would be necessary to take some measures for improving population regeneration for a long-time view. The individuals of all age-classes focused on clumping distribution in space; however, their distribution pattern varied with the change of scale. This mainly depended on biological features of Larix principis-rupprechtii and forest environments, but it also meant that the scale was an important factor in controlling spatial distribution pattern of tree individuals. The feature of clumping distribution became more significant with the increase of age. The relationships between individuals in different age-classes were almost all significantly correlated with each other. These associations became more significant within the older age-classes. This suggested that the individuals of different age-classes were interdistributed, by which the population could get benefits in resource utilization. The technique of point pattern analysis is effective and easy to be used in species pattern study. Its results are more closer to the reality, especially for community structure.

以山西霍山地区的先锋树种之一白桦( Betula platyphylla)为研究对象,在霍山七里峪林场典型地段设置一个50 m×50 m的样方,应用点格局分析方法对其不同龄级(Ⅰ级、Ⅱ级、Ⅲ级和Ⅳ级)个体的分布格局及相互关系进行了研究.结果表明:(1)白桦种群不同龄级的个体间密度也不相同,中间龄级Ⅱ级(7 cm＜ DBH≤14 cm)和Ⅲ级(14 cm ＜DBH≤21 cm)的密度较大,幼龄和老龄个体密度小,年龄结构为衰退型;(2)除Ⅰ级(DBH≤7 cm)外,其余3个龄级集群分布特征比较明显,且随着龄级的增加,集群特征有更明显的趋势;(3)除Ⅰ级和Ⅱ级、Ⅱ级和Ⅲ级、Ⅱ级和Ⅳ级(DBH ＞21 cm)之外,其余龄级间基本都是小尺度下负关联,并随尺度的增大关联性逐渐变得不显著.     

Ecological characteristics of Abies georgei population at timberline on the north-facing slope of Baima Snow Mountain, Southwest China

Abies georgei is one of the endemic trees at timberline on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, but little research has been done about its timberline population. One plot was set up at timberline above 4400 m on the north-facing slope of Baima Snow Mountain in Southwest China, covering an area of 0.8 hm2. Height, DBH (diameter at breast high) or root-collar diameter of seedlings and saplings, and position were recorded for each individual. The population showed a growing trend and the number of individuals decreased with increase of DBH. The survival curve can be described by Deevy-III. The population had 2 distinct peaks of mortality: age I (seedlings, DBH = 0–5 cm) and age V-VI (DBH = 20–30 cm). The highest mortality of seedlings was due to severe climate at timberline. As the saplings grew up, the interspecific and intraspecific competition resulted in another mortality peak. Through SPPA (spatial point pattern analysis), individuals of all age-classes showed uniform, random or clumped distribution with the change of scales; however, they had mainly clumped distribution. Moreover, the relationships between individuals in different age-classes were all significantly correlated with each other. Seedlings showed the highest clumping intensity and scale.     

Point pattern analysis of Phyllostachys bissetti ramet population in West China Rainy Area

In this paper, point pattern analysis was conducted to study the spatial distribution of Phyllostachys bissetii ramet population and the spatial association between different age-class P. bissetii ramet populations in West China Rainy Area. The ramet population had a clumped distribution at the scale 0-0.32 m, a regular distribution at the scale 0.64-4.48 m, and a random distribution at the scale > 4.48 m. Different age-class ramet populations mainly had a random distribution at the scale 0-8.00 m, though a slight difference was observed among different age-classes. The spatial association between age-class I and age-classes II and III at the scale 1.76 - 4.16 m and 0.32-4.16 m approached to or reached to negative, respectively, while the spatial association between age-classes I and IV at the scale 0.32-3.04 m was significantly negative, indicating that the spatial negative association between younger and elder ramet populations increased with enlarged age-class difference. The spatial pattern of P. bissetii ramet population and the spatial association between different age-class ramet populations were depended on spatial scale, ramet age, and environmental factors.     

北京山区栓皮栎林优势种群点格局分析

采用点格局分析方法对北京山区栓皮栎林主要种群和不同发育阶段种群的空间分布格局及相互关系进行分析。结果表明:(1)群落物种组成简单,栓皮栎和油松是群落的优势种群,优势种群以中径木为主,缺乏可供更新的幼苗,种群呈现出衰退趋势;(2)在研究尺度内,栓皮栎、油松单种的空间分布格局以聚集型分布为主,随着尺度的增大呈现出随机分布和均匀分布的趋势;栓皮栎和油松呈现显著负相关;(3)优势种群不同发育阶段的空间分布格局与研究尺度紧密相关,栓皮栎小树和中树以聚集型分布为主、大树呈随机分布,而油松不同发育阶段均以随机分布为主;(4)栓皮栎、油松种群不同发育阶段之间的空间关联主要发生在小尺度范围内,小树和中树以正关联为主,而中树和大树、小树和大树以负关联为主;随着研究尺度的增大趋于无关联。     

白马雪山阴坡林线长苞冷杉(Abies georgei)种群结构特征

长苞冷杉（Abies georgei）是青藏高原特有林线树种。对白马雪山阴坡海拔4 400 m以上林线0.8 hm2样地长苞冷杉种群进行每木调查,分析其种群结构、数量特征及空间分布格局。结果表明：(1）结构呈典型金字塔型,幼苗和幼树在种群中所占比重大,表现为增长型种群,种群个体数随径级的增加而减少,密度为幼苗>幼树>成年树;(2）存活曲线接近Deevy-III型,高径级种群趋于稳定,种群具两个死亡高峰,低径级种群尤其幼苗死亡率高达90％,这是林线区的气候条件如低温、强光照、积雪及冬季冻害等综合作用的结果,种群另一死亡高峰出现于V~VI龄级,种内和种间对空间、光照和养分等生存因子的激烈竞争引起自疏,导致死亡率再度上升;(3）长苞冷杉种群各龄级空间点格局在不同尺度上表现为聚集、随机和均匀分布,以聚集分布为主,由于幼苗来源于种子库且依赖成年树的微生境,幼苗聚集强度和尺度都最大;各龄级关系密切,在不同尺度上表现出显著的相关性。     

天山云杉天然林不同林层的空间格局和空间关联性

天山云杉(Picea Schrenkiana)林是天山林区的重要针叶林。研究调查了分别代表天山云杉增长型种群和成熟型种群的两块标准地,应用Ripley's K系数法研究了天山云杉更新层、低林层、中林层和高林层的空间格局和不同林层的空间关联性,并应用Moran's I系数法研究了不同林层的林木高度的空间自相关性。结果表明:所有林层的天山云杉活立木都是显著聚集的,只是发生聚集格局的强度和聚集尺度不同。更新层天山云杉具有最大的聚集强度,从更新层到低林层,聚集强度急速降低。两块标准地中天山桦(Betula tianschanica Rupr.)、天山柳(Salix tianschanica Rgl.)和天山云杉活立木的空间关联性的表现不同。研究结果表明:增长型种群中天山桦、天山柳在所有尺度上都抑制天山云杉的生长;而成熟型种群中天山桦、天山柳在1-10 m尺度内对天山云杉种群的生长没有影响,10-40 m表现出正相关,40 m以上没有表现出明显的关联性;同时天山桦、天山柳基本上在所有尺度都抑制天山云杉的更新。在更新层和低林层间表现出正相关;而更新层和枯死木之间的空间关联性为正相关。
