湖北星斗山台湾杉居群的遗传多样性研究

采用随机扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)方法对孑遗植物台湾杉分布于湖北星斗山的野生和栽培居群共42个个体进行了遗传多样性分析。从60个随机引物中筛选出13个引物,共扩增出155条清晰谱带,多态位点百分率为72.9%。野生居群和栽培居群的多态位点百分率分别为65.81%和59.35%;Nei’s基因多样性分别为0.2001和0.1911;Shannon’s信息指数分别为0.3120和0.2946。野生居群的遗传多样性高于栽培居群,表明这些原生古树的后代出现了一定程度的遗传衰退。用UPGMA方法对42个单株聚类可知,来自野生群体的个体和来自栽培群体的个体明显地各聚为一类。尽管孑遗物种台湾杉在湖北仅有一个野生群体,且为零星分布,总个体数40多株,但仍保持较高的遗传多样性水平,这说明遗传多样性不是导致其种群濒危的主要原因,导致台湾杉种群濒危的原因可能与台湾杉自然种群及群落所处生境的直接破坏及其本身生物学和生态学特性所导致的自然更新不良有着密切的联系。     

水松地理分布及其濒危原因

水松(Glyptostrobus pensilis)被列为国家一级保护植物,主要分布于我国的广东、广西、江西、湖南、福建、四川和云南等省区和越南。根据野外调查、查阅标本和文献,结合水松的化石分布资料,对分布区内水松的生长状况和分布区的自然环境概况进行了分析,讨论了温度、雨量、光照和土壤等生态因子对水松地理分布的影响。导致水松濒危的主要原因有：历史时期气候变迁导致水松分布区大幅度缩小和居群数量剧烈下降;水松对生境要求严格;人为破坏严重。根据水松濒危的原因和现状,建议加强对水松原产地的保护,特别是保护那些遗传多样性高的居群;重视水松居群周围生境的保护;以及采取人工繁殖和进行迁地保护等策略。     

三种海桑属濒危红树植物的资源分布与濒危现状

通过文献查阅和访问咨询，结合野外调查，对3种海桑属(Sonneratia)濒危红树植物的资源分布和濒危现状进行了初步研究。结果显示：卵叶海桑(Sonneratia ovata Backer)有2个自然居群和3个人工居群，个体数量分别为231和38棵；海南海桑(S. × hainanensis W. C. Ko, E.Y. Chen & W.Y. Chen)有4个自然居群和2个人工居群，个体数量分别为139和11棵；拟海桑(S. × gulngai N. C. Duke & B. R. Jackes)有4个自然居群和3个人工居群，个体数量分别为345和12棵；它们的自然居群更新能力都极差，人工种群也均未见新生个体。气候变化和人为干扰是种群规模急剧减小的直接原因，自身更新困难是种群规模难以恢复的制约因素。因此，建议在天然种群就地保护的基础上，优化迁地保护策略，加强人工辅助育种研究，加快突破育种难题，并科学抚育野外回归种群，以保证其种群的正常更新。     

中国疣粒野生稻的分布、濒危现状和保护前景

继1978-1982年全国野生稻普查后,又一次对中国疣粒野生稻（Oryza granulata (Nees et Arn.Ex Watt.））主要分布点的居群特征、濒危现状和破坏情况进行了野外生态学研究。由于行政区划的改变,目前疣粒野生稻在中国分布的市（县）达30个。它在群落盖度为90%-210%下生长良好,具有抗旱和适应中度干扰的能力。聚集参数分析表明在群落中居群以集群分布为主。该物种主要通过重力和动物传播种子,居群间的基因流有限,形成了典型的集合种群（metapoulation）结构。生境丧失对疣粒野生稻的生长造成非常严重的后果,巳有12.9%的疣粒野生稻居群灭绝,83.9%的居群处于中度和重度的干扰之下。由于各地区的破坏程度不平衡,目前疣粒野生稻的分布被压缩到海南省的西南部山区和云南省和澜沧江中下游、南汀河流域,面临热区开发的巨大威胁。研究中建立了中国疣粒野生稻的总DNA库,作为易位保护的手段之一和开展保护遗传学研究的基础;并讨论了居群遗传结构与居群分布格局之间的相互关系和保护中需注意的问题。     

藏羚的迁移与保护

藏羚是青藏高原的特有种,曾广泛分布于青藏高原及邻近地区,盗猎是导致其种群濒危最主要的原因。目前,藏羚种群总数量约为7.5万~10万只,是20世纪初种群数量的1/10,已被列为世界濒危保护物种。近年人类活动及开发造成的环境质量退化和栖息地退缩,明显地威胁着该物种的繁衍生息,青藏高原上的交通设施建设不可避免地影响沿线野生动物的活动,对藏羚迁移的保护刻不容缓。     

湖北省珍稀濒危植物现状及其就地保护

本文论述了湖北省珍稀濒危植物的数量、分布及就地保护现状,并提出了保护的建议和措施。经调查研究,湖北省天然分布有62种珍稀濒危植物,占全国同类总数的15.97％;鄂西南和鄂西北为珍稀濒危植物的分布中心; 全省22个野生植物和森林生态系统自然保护区（点）现已就地保护55种,占总数的88.7％;在评价就地保护现状的基础上,提出了合理调整和布局自然保护区、大力发展自然保护小区、自然保护点和禁伐区以及将就地保护和其它手段相结合等建议。     

极小种群野生植物海南风吹楠的遗传多样性研究

为探讨海南风吹楠(Horsfieldiahainanensis)的濒危原因,利用限制性酶切位点相关的DNA测序技术(RAD-seq)开发单核苷酸多态性(SNPs),评估居群的遗传多样性和遗传结构。结果表明,海南风吹楠的遗传多样性较低(Ho=0.167),其中BWL居群表现出最高的遗传多样性;居群间存在中等程度的遗传分化(Fst=0.120)。Structure分析表明居群的最佳聚类值为2,但个别居群的遗传结构混杂,Mantel检测结果也表明遗传距离和地理距离没有相关性(r=0.733,P0.075)。自身更新能力低以及过度的人为活动干扰,可能是导致其濒危的主要原因。建议加强对遗传多样性高的居群(BWL和YGL)进行就地保护;对生境破坏严重的居群(EXL和DLS)进行近地或迁地保护,以增加居群间的基因交流,同时构建核心种质,防止遗传资源丢失加剧。     

濒危植物澜沧黄杉种群结构及动态特征

澜沧黄杉(Pseudotsuga forrestiiCraib)为中国特有珍稀濒危植物,野外种群个体数量少,分布范围狭窄,研究其种群结构及动态特征可以量化种群未来发展趋势,并为科学合理保护该物种提供依据。通过对云南省迪庆州德钦县不同群落类型下澜沧黄杉种群的调查及数据收集,编制澜沧黄杉静态生命表,绘制存活曲线和生存分析函数曲线,并采用时间序列模型对种群的数量动态进行预测,以揭示不同群落环境下澜沧黄杉的种群结构和动态特征。结果表明:德钦县澜沧黄杉种群主要分布在海拔2200-3300m的区域,栖息地群落类型为澜沧黄杉林、冷杉林与云南松林,三种群落澜沧黄杉种群均属增长型,数量变化动态指数V_pi和V_pi''都大于0,但对外界干扰比较敏感,存活曲线趋于Deevey-Ⅱ型,表明种群各龄级的死亡率基本接近。不同群落类型下种群大小依次为澜沧黄杉林 ＞ 冷杉林 ＞ 云南松林,结合种群动态分析表明,澜沧黄杉林更适宜种群的生存;生存分析和时间序列预测表明幼龄个体的缺乏、死亡率高,是导致种群野外更新困难的主要原因。野外调查发现澜沧黄杉天然种群受到人类砍伐、放牧、开荒等因素的影响,严重影响了种群的生存,因此未来在加大科学研究力度进一步探究该物种濒危影响因素的同时,还要加大保护宣传力度,并扩大建立保护区以实现对该物种的多方位保护。     

基于保护基因组学揭示荷叶铁线蕨的濒危机制

理解物种的濒危机制对生物多样性的科学保护至关重要。荷叶铁线蕨(Adiantum nelumboides)作为国家一级重点保护野生植物, 其遗传多样性状况和濒危机制一直存在较大争议。本文利用简化基因组测序技术(genotyping by sequencing, GBS)对来自6个居群的28个荷叶铁线蕨样本测序, 共获得29.6 Gb的数据, 并筛选得到9,423个高质量单核苷酸变异位点(SNP), 通过遗传多样性和居群遗传结构分析, 并结合不同气候情景下物种潜在分布区差异, 探讨了荷叶铁线蕨的濒危原因和科学保护策略。结果表明: (1)荷叶铁线蕨具有较低的遗传多样性(H_o = 0.138、H_e = 0.232、P_i = 0.373), 同时种群间具有较低的遗传分化(F_st = 0.0202)和基因流(N_m = 1.9613); (2)所有样本均来自2个遗传分组, 基因组大小为 5.01‒5.83 Gb, 且均为四倍体, GC含量约为 39%‒41%; (3)生态位模拟表明, 与现代气候相比, 在未来气候变化下荷叶铁线蕨的潜在分布区面积略有增加, 但高适生区面积减小。其主要适生区向北迁移, 影响其分布的主导因子为昼夜温差月均值和最冷季降水量。正是由于荷叶铁线蕨遗传多样性低, 不同种群间遗传分化较低, 再加上气候条件的变化, 其适生区狭窄, 导致其遗传多样性和种群数量急剧下降。因此, 自身更新能力低以及过度的人为活动干扰可能是导致其濒危的主要原因。建议加强对荷叶铁线蕨的就地保护; 通过生境恢复及自然回归等措施, 增加居群间的基因交流, 防止遗传资源丢失加剧。     

云南新平铁坚油杉森林群落结构特征

摸清珍稀濒危抗旱植物铁坚油杉(Keteleeria davidiana)的种群数量及其分布情况, 能够为珍稀濒危物种保护工作提供基础数据。该文对云南省新平县6个乡镇铁坚油杉群落进行样方调查分析, 每个乡镇设置3个样方, 样方面积为20 m × 20 m, 记录样方生境信息、统计群落物种组成及其数量特征, 对群落类型及其结构特征进行了统计和分析。主要结果: (1)在调查样地内, 共有维管束植物163种, 隶属于58科131属; (2)植物群落区系分布类型有12种, 以热带成分和中国特有种为主, 热带成分占优势; (3)群落内乔木和灌木植物最多, 占62.58%, 其次是多年生草本植物; (4)按照建群种和生活型, 可将18组植被样方数据划分为3个群系17个群落类型; (5)年龄结构不合理, 铁坚油杉种群结构呈衰退趋势, 自然居群已成为小种群。如果铁坚油杉群落没有足够的幼苗进行更新和补充, 铁坚油杉将退出当前的群落。     

贵州雷公山秃杉种群生活史特征与空间分布格局

秃杉是一种珍稀濒危植物,以斑块状分布于雷公山东南面斜坡海拔800-1300 m之间的沟谷两侧。从年龄结构、生命表特征、存活曲线以及种群不同龄级个体空间分布格局等方面研究了雷公山秃杉种群生活史特征与空间分布格局。研究结果表明:秃杉的种群结构存在波动性,成年阶段个体较丰富,幼苗与老龄数目相对较少,秃杉自身的生物学特性及环境因素是形成这种现象的主要原因;秃杉种群存活曲线趋于DeeveyⅡ型,出现2个死亡率高峰,一个出现在第6龄级阶段,另一个出现在第12龄级阶段,期望寿命单调下降;秃杉种群空间分布格局总体上为聚集分布,处于不同发育阶段的秃杉种群,其分布格局随时间而发生变化,从幼龄期到中龄期再到老龄期,种群分布格局由聚集分布逐渐变为随机分布,秃杉种群在不同发育阶段的空间分布格局差异与其生物学和生态学特性密切相关,同时受群落小环境的影响。     

黄土高原不同气象因子对中国沙棘亚居群遗传多样性的影响

顶生金花茶(Camellia terminalis)是一种濒危植物,主要分布在广西天等县石灰岩山钙质土上的常绿阔叶林内.采用样地调查、统计分析和回归模型预测等方法,对顶生金花茶种群的分布环境、资源量现状、大小和高度结构等进行了研究.结果表明:该种群主要依存于天等县小山乡的蚬木-石山樟林(P1)和任豆-蚬木林(P2)、福新乡的枝花李榄-石山楠林(P3)和齿叶大风子-闭花木林(P4)4种群落,构成灌木层的优势种和共优种;P1、P3和P4种群处于群落较稳定的典型常绿季雨林中,结构较完整,属于稳定或增长型;P2种群由于恶劣环境和频繁人为干扰的共同胁迫,有衰退的趋势;与小山乡生境相比,福新乡相对冷凉湿润的气候条件、丰厚肥沃的土层以及较轻度的人为干扰有利于顶生金花茶种群的发展.目前顶生金花茶种群的资源量有限,建议列为"严重濒临灭绝"(CR)等级.     

云南兰坪云南红豆杉种群年龄结构与空间分布格局分析

利用点格局分析法对滇西北兰坪县4个云南红豆杉(Taxus yunnanensis)种群的年龄结构、不同生长阶段空间分布格局及其关联性进行分析。结果表明:(1)林窗与人为干扰影响4个云南红豆杉种群的龄级结构,小林窗的种群呈稳定型;较大林窗的种群呈进展型;群落结构完整未出现林窗和有较大人为干扰的种群年龄结构均呈衰退型,幼苗、幼树与小树个体缺乏,种群存在一定程度的更新困难,林窗的大小是种群更新的重要因素。(2)人为干扰、自然生境与本身生物学特性影响4个种群空间分布格局,种群1整体及其不同生长阶段个体均呈聚集分布;种群2和种群4在小尺度呈聚集分布,而在大尺度上呈随机分布;种群3随着空间尺度增大分布格局表现为聚集→随机→聚集趋势。(3)种群2中幼苗、小树和中树在小尺度下表现为聚集分布,其他尺度下表现为随机分布;种群3的小树阶段聚集分布和随机分布皆有出现,中树与大树在不同尺度上表现为聚集分布;种群4聚集分布的强度随生长阶段的增加在减弱。(4)4个种群各发育阶段间皆呈或接近显著正相关,种内竞争弱,有利于种群维持。     

浙江天目山孑遗落叶阔叶树种的种群结构及更新策略

通过对浙江天目山国家级自然保护区内6个孑遗落叶阔叶树种进行群落学调查,分析了不同微地形单元上种群结构、更新途径及更新个体的空间关联性,探讨了不同干扰体系下孑遗落叶阔叶树种的更新策略.结果表明:孑遗落叶阔叶树种具有较强的萌枝能力,种群结构以间歇型为主,部分种类选择长距离扩散,在适宜生境中间歇型更新,如青钱柳、缺萼枫香等;部分种类因生境限制,在不断的地表冲刷干扰下,选择在母树周围进行间歇型更新,如领春木、香果树.在相对稳定的顶坡和坡地上,青钱柳、缺萼枫香、蓝果树、枫香等树种以种子更新占据一次干扰后形成的林窗生境,并通过其固有的萌枝能力增殖树干,形成径级大小相似的多主干植株,迅速占据优势地位.在不稳定的谷床、谷坡和谷头凹地中,香果树、领春木、枫香等树种因频繁干扰导致种子更新受限、植株损伤并常有个体枯死,通过其极强的萌枝能力补充零星更新的幼苗以及干扰造成的个体损伤.基于生境适应、种群更新和竞争策略,将孑遗落叶阔叶树种大致划分为“林窗修复种”和“生境填充种”两个类型,并提出应加强对其特殊生境的保护.     

The influences of surface water-overflowing disturbance on the fluctuations of Tamarix ramosissima community in Western China

The main purpose of this study is to examine the fluctuation characteristics of Tamarix ramosissima community from the year of 2007–2008 in desert riparian forest under human surface water-overflowing disturbance in the lower reaches of Tarim River, China. In this paper, community structure, species diversity and dominant species were chosen as the indicators which could reflect the characteristics of community fluctuation. The representative sampling method was used to investigate and measure the fluctuation process of Comm. T. ramosissima. The main results showed that species numbers of the community increased 66.7% under the surface water-overflowing disturbance within two years comparing with it under non-disturbance. The Sorensen similarity coefficient of plant species is 0.75 in community under the disturbance and non-disturbance, indicating that species composition is very similar and main structure of the community has not changed on these two different treatments. Species diversity index of Comm. T. ramosissima changed a lot under the disturbance. Compared with it under non-disturbance, species richness and species diversity have been increasing while species evenness declined slightly under the disturbance. The numbers and kinds of dominant species also changed in community under the disturbance, of which the dominance of T. ramosissima is significantly increased. Compared with the river channel water disturbance, surface water-overflowing disturbance could enhance seed germination and plant growth through the effect of shallow soil moisture and its physic-chemical properties. And it improved the germination of plant seed in the soil and promoted the clone growth of plant reproductive body. As a result, species diversity was increased and species composition happened significantly changed in Comm. T. ramosissima influenced by the water-overflowing disturbance. In addition, community hierarchical structure was getting more complex. And then, it was concluded that water-overflowing disturbance is an effective way to positively affect the fluctuation of Comm. T. ramosissima in the lower reaches of Tarim River. Thus, it can make up for the insufficient effectiveness of river channel water disturbance to restore damaged vegetation.     

Distribution, stand characteristics and habitat of a critically endangered plant Euryodendron excelsum H. T. Chang (Theaceae): implications for conservation

In the present study, the distribution, population size and structure, habitat and stand disturbance of a critically endangered plant Euryodendron excelsum H. T. Chang were examined using field investigations. A total of 179 individual plants, including 23 adult trees, were found. The population was distributed in 10 highly isolated and fragmented patches. Half of the 10 patches had less than 10 individual plants and two patches had only one remnant adult; there were no adult plants in two of the patches. Although the overall population structure trends to a reversed 'J' shape, two fragile stages of E. excelsum limit its natural recruitment and regeneration: seed germination and seedling growth toward adulthood. The major threats for the survival of this species are its specific small population size and the high frequency of anthropogenic destruction. Based on the results, some strategies were put forward for the conservation of E. excelsum populations.     

青海省甘蒙柽柳群落植被区系分析

为了探明青海省甘蒙柽柳(Tamarix austromongolica Nakai)群落植被的区系特征,对同德县然果村甘蒙柽柳古树林群落的古树资源基本特征和结构特征进行了分析,并对该古树林群落及同德县班多村和贵德县曲卜藏村甘蒙柽柳幼树林群落的科属组成、生活型和区系特征进行了分析和比较;在此基础上,提出甘蒙柽柳古树林群落的保护策略.调查结果显示:在然果村古树林群落中,胸径大于1.40 m的甘蒙柽柳百年古树有203株,最高植株的株高、胸径和地径分别为22.85、1.78和3.39 m;群落中小叶杨(Populus simonii Carr.)百年古树有15株,最高植株的株高和胸径分别为25.00和4.18 m.在垂直结构上,然果村古树林群落分为乔木层、灌木层和草本层3个层次,其中,草本层包括多年生丛草层和一年生杂草层2个层次;在水平结构上,甘蒙柽柳均匀散布在群落内,小叶杨呈带状聚集分布,大部分灌木呈丛状分布,草本植物则呈小丛或单生态分布.然果村古树林群落有种子植物8科18属21种,班多村幼树林群落有种子植物10科18属20种,曲卜藏村幼树林群落有种子植物8科12属12种.区系分析结果表明:在科水平上,3个甘蒙柽柳群落均以世界分布型为主;在属水平上,然果村古树林群落和班多村幼树林群落均以北温带分布型为主,占总属数(不包括世界分布型)的37.50%和43.75%,而曲卜藏村幼树林群落则以世界分布型为主,中亚分布型次之.比较结果表明:3个群落的甘蒙柽柳植株大小差异明显,物种组成和区系成分也有一定差异.综合考虑认为,甘蒙柽柳古树林群落保护应采取就地保护和迁地保护相结合的方式.     

Population Structure of Woody Plants in Relation to Land Use in a Semi‐arid Savanna,West Africa

Indigenous woody species are important natural resources in West African savannas. Information about their population structures and response to human impact, particularly land use, however, is scarce. In this study, we explored (1) the effect of land use on the population structure of woody savanna species; and (2) searched for species with similar population structures related to comparable ecological preferences. Using generalized linear models, we separately analyzed the size‐class distribution (SCD) of 30 species to reveal the influence of three land cover types (non‐arable land, fallows, and protected areas) on population structures. Generalized linear models were applied to identify comparable population structures of species with similar ecological preferences. We were able to identify five groups for shrub species and four groups for tree species with different population structures and comparable ecological preferences. In terms of human impact, we detected four groups of species responding similarly to land use. Especially for trees, we found a strong influence of local land use on SCD and hence, population structures. The SCD of shrub species tends to be more related to species' ecological preferences. Some of the shrub species may be characterized as ubiquitous species as their SCD is neither related to land use nor ecological preferences, indicating a high tolerance to disturbance. The observed results have implications on local woody species composition in relation to land use. According to this, we propose focusing on trees when developing appropriate local land use management strategies.     

Patterns in the structure of grassland butterfly communities along a gradient of human disturbance: further analysis based on the generalist/specialist concept

Kitahara and Fujii, in 1994, analyzed the butterfly communities along a gradient of human disturbance by applying the generalist/specialist concept. Butterfly species were classified into generalist or specialist species based on their voltinism (seasonal time dimension) and potential larval resource breadth (food dimension). The community structure and species composition showed the systematic changes along the gradient. To verify the generality of those trends, we monitored five grassland butterfly communities with varying degrees of human disturbance twice a month during 1985 by the line transect method at the foot of Mt. Fuji, central Japan, and analyzed their structure in a manner similar to that employed by Kitahara and Fujii. Most results were consistent with the patterns recognized by Kitahara and Fujii. The route (community) order based on increasing human disturbance was strongly and negatively correlated with butterfly species richness but with neither butterfly species diversity (H′) nor evenness (J′). Also, the degree of human disturbance was significantly and negatively correlated with the number of specialist species, but not with that of generalists, in a community. Butterfly species richness was more strongly correlated with the number of specialist species than with that of generalists. Our analyses also showed that the generalist species were distributed more widely over the communities than were the specialists. However, in contrast to the trend revealed by Kitahara and Fujii, there was no significant difference in the population densities and in the spatial population variability between the two species groups. As a whole, our analyses confirmed the consistency of most community patterns detected by Kitahara and Fujii. The causes of the inconsistencies in some patterns were thought to be mainly the present habitat conditions with a relatively short growing season at high altitudes.

基于功能性状的水杉原生母树种群生境适应策略

植物的功能性状变异和表型可塑性是其应对异质生境的主要机制, 对植物的生长和分布有重要贡献。本文以湖北星斗山国家级自然保护区的水杉(Metasequoia glyptostroboides)原生母树为研究对象, 分析了母树种群功能性状对树木形态、地形因子及人为干扰的响应机制。结果表明: 水杉原生母树叶面积、叶干重和比叶面积的变异幅度大, 可塑性较强, 而枝和叶的干物质含量稳定性最高。人为干扰和4个地形因子均对每个功能性状变异方差有5%-20%的解释度, 冠幅对枝、叶干物质含量的变异方差有高达38%和76%的解释度。5个功能性状主要受海拔、坡位和人为干扰影响, 其中, 比叶面积对环境因子和干扰的响应规律不明显, 叶面积和叶干重在强烈人为干扰的环境中普遍增大, 枝和叶的干物质含量对坡向的变化最敏感。总之, 水杉原生母树种群通过功能性状变异对环境能产生一定的可塑性响应, 但人为干扰对母树生长影响较大, 建议人工辅助更新, 并适度减少农业和建筑对现存母树的影响。
