中国亚热带高大竹类植物毛竹竹笋克隆生长的密度调节

对许多多年生克隆植物来说,大量的研究表明：当光是限制因子时,随着立地密度的不断增加,克隆分株的出生率逐渐减小、死亡率逐渐增加。本文观测了乔木状高大竹类植物毛竹竹笋的出生与存活过程,结果表明：竹笋的出生率,即每样方的出笋数,明显地随着成竹立竹度的增加而增加。更确切地说,竹笋的数量,不管是出笋数还是活笋数,都明显地随着带新叶（１龄叶）的成竹立竹度的增加而增加,而与带老叶（２龄叶）的成竹立竹度相关性不显著。并且竹笋的死亡率是非密度制约的。这可能是由于对毛竹来说,其立地总是比较开敞,而且,其竹笋的生长在很大程度上是不直接需光的。     

中国亚热带高大竹类植物志竹竹笋克隆生长的密度调节

对许多多年生克隆植物来说,大量的研究表明：当是限制因子时,随着立地密度的不断增加,克隆分株的出生率逐渐减小,死亡率逐渐增加。本文观测了乔木状高大竹类植物毛竹竹笋的出生与存活过程,结果表明：竹笋的出生率,即每样方的出笋数,明显地随着成竹立竹度的增加页增加。更确切地说,生笋的数量,不管是出笋数还是活笋数,都明显地随着带新叶的成竹立竹度的增加而增加,而与老叶的成竹立竹度相关不显著。     

毛竹的无性系生长与立竹密度和叶龄结构的关系

毛竹为单轴型散生竹,属典型的无性系植物,原产我国亚热带地区。由于其个体高大、生长迅速、产量高、材质好、分布广,长期以来,一直是我国最为重要的经济竹种。本文应用无性系生长生理整合的理论,从种群统计学的角度,探讨了毛竹林立竹密度与叶龄结构对其无性系生长潜力的影响。结果表明：由于毛竹叶的生活期为两年,１龄新叶的光合能力比２龄老叶高,每样地的出笋数、活笋数与带１龄新叶的立竹数呈正相关,而与带２龄老叶的立竹数相关性不显著。另外,竹笋的死亡率是非密度制约的。本研究结果合理地解释了常见的毛竹林产量大小年交替变化的现象。     

施肥对毛竹（Phyllostachys pubescens）竹笋生长的影响

 毛竹(Phyllostachys pubescens)为具有重要经济价值的高大乔木状竹种。本文通过完全随机化区组施肥试验,探讨了施肥量及施肥方式对毛竹竹笋生长的效应。结果表明：在毛竹林内施肥可使出笋数和活笋数提高3倍以上,但对竹笋(幼竹)的个体大小却几乎没有改良效果。竹笋的存活率基本上是恒定的,不随施肥量的改变而改变。当地下茎(竹鞭)穿越养分分布不均的环境时,竹笋能有选择地大量长于养分丰富的地段而避开养分贫乏的地段。另一方面,跨越于有利地段和不利地段的竹(笋)株间有明显的生理整合作用,而且这种生理整合在显著增加了长在不利地段的竹笋数(高收益)的同时,基本上没有减少长在有利地段的竹笋数(低耗费)。9m×9m的样方已足以观测到显著的施肥效果,这比传统的毛竹研究中使用的1亩的样方面积效率要高。在竹林培育方面,不均匀施肥如带状或点状施肥要比均匀施肥效率高。     

毛竹（Phyllostachys pubescens）竹笋群动态的研究

 本文从克隆植物生长的调节与适应的角度,研究了毛竹竹笋群的时空动态。竹笋的单位面积产量及个体大小在年际之间变化很大。环境有利的年份出土的竹笋要比条件恶劣的年份多得多、高得多、壮得多。而且,自始至终较早的同生群的竹笋总比较晚的同生群的要高得多、壮得多。较早的同生群的竹笋刚出土时要经历一段生长缓慢的时期,而较晚的同生群的竹笋一出土生长就十分迅速。不管竹笋何时出土,它们几乎都同时进入最快生长期。竹笋高度日增量最快时可达每天100cm左右。本文解释了亚热带竹子在春季不同时间出土的竹笋为何及如何几乎同时抵达林冠顶部。最后,提出了一些有利于竹林经营管理的建议。     

慈竹母株大小对克隆生长的影响

 克隆生长在慈竹种群更新中占有重要地位。本文以基径和生物量两个指标同时衡量慈竹(Neosinocalamus affinis)的母株大小,并分析了母株大小对新竹笋产生、竹笋大小和根茎大小的影响。结果表明：1）慈竹的成竹基径与一级母株基径、二级母株基径以及与2龄和3龄母株平均单株生物量呈正相关,但是成竹基径随一级母株基径增加比随二级母株基径增加而增加的速率快得多;2）慈竹母株大小与各样方中出笋数、活笋数和死笋数无显著的正相关;3）发笋母株的基径显著大于未发笋母株,但发一个笋母株与发两个以上笋母株的基径无显著差异;4）母株基径、2龄和3龄母株平均单株生物量都与根茎的长度和粗度呈显著正相关,且竹笋基径与根茎粗度也呈显著的正相关。母株大小对慈竹竹笋的影响是通过影响根茎实现的。总之,慈竹的克隆生长在个体水平受母株大小制约。

中国沙棘克隆生长对灌水强度的响应

为了解中国沙棘克隆生长调节对土壤水分资源供应水平的响应规律并寻找最佳灌水强度,研究了种群生长量、生物量、子株数量、克隆器官延伸能力、克隆器官分枝级数等种群参数与同灌水强度的关系。结果表明：（1）种群参数增幅与灌水强度之间呈二次抛物线关系,即种群参数增幅随着灌水强度的增加先升后降。小于最佳灌水强度,种群参数增幅随着灌水强度的增加而上升;大于最佳灌水强度,种群参数增幅随着灌水强度的增加而下降。（2）不同种群参数增幅最大时的最佳灌水强度具有一定差异,种群及其构件生物量的最佳灌水强度为每月4.0次、相当于本地年均降水量的2.0倍,子株数量、克隆器官延伸能力、克隆器官分枝级数增幅的最佳灌水强度为每月3.0次、相当于本地年均降水量的1.5倍。（3）适当灌水能够促进中国沙棘种群生长、提高克隆繁殖能力,但在一定灌水强度下生长和繁殖之间存在权衡关系,而种群生长和生物量积累之间、克隆子株数量与克隆器官延伸能力和克隆器官分枝级数之间则有协同作用。（4）在不同土壤水分资源供应水平下,中国沙棘主要通过个体大小、种群生物量分配、子株数量、克隆器官延伸能力、克隆器官分枝强度等调节做出响应,这些调节直接影响种群的稳定性和克隆的持久性。     

密度对三种莎草科植物克隆生长的影响

以三种莎草科克隆植物藨草(Scirpus triqueter), 海三棱藨草(Scirpus mariqueter)和糙叶苔草(Carex scabrifolia)为研究对象, 通过盆栽受控实验, 探讨三种初始种植密度处理(1 株/盆、4 株/盆和16 株/盆)对个体表现与种群增长的影响。结果表明, 三种植物种群经过一个月左右的适应后均开始加速增长, 生长季后期增长率逐渐降低, 而海三棱藨草种群甚至出现了一定程度的衰退。生长季中前期藨草在中低密度处理下密度增长率高于高密度和整簇种植处理, 而海三棱藨草、糙叶苔草种群的整体密度增长与初始种植密度成反比。最终收获时, 藨草和海三棱藨草不同处理下的密度、冠层高度、最高高度、地上生物量和地下生物量均没有显著差异, 糙叶苔草在低种植密度下的密度最低, 中等种植密度下冠层高度最高。藨草、海三棱藨草的单株平均生物量与密度呈显著负相关, 而藨草、糙叶苔草的总生物量与密度呈显著正相关, 三种莎草科植物的根冠比都没有随密度发生显著变化。三种莎草科植物在高密度下的种内竞争效应均强于中密度。

Effects of elevated atmospheric O3 concentrations on early and late leaf growth and elemental contents of Acer truncatum Bung under mild drought

To investigate the possible interactive effects of elevated atmospheric ozone (O₃) concentrations and periodic drought stress on physiology of Shantung maple (Acer truncatum Bung), an experiment was conducted from the growth season of 2012 to 2013 with open-top chambers (OTCs) in Changping district, a suburb of Beijing, China. Four treatments were administered with three replications in twelve OTCs which were NN (well watered + ambient air), NO (well watered + add 100 nl l^? 1 O₃ above ambient air), DN (drought stress + ambient air) and DO (drought stress + add 100 nl l^? 1 O₃ above ambient air). Leaf area (LA), leaf mass per area (LMA), individual leaf weight (ILW), carbon(C), nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) contents in early and late leaves were measured at the end of the second year. The results showed: (1) Both elevated O₃ concentration and drought treatments significantly reduced early leaf LMA, LA, ILW, leaf N and S contents, with a reduction of 28.7, 45.7, 61.3, 39.6, 16.1% by O₃ stress and 12.5, 46.8, 53.5, 15.45 and 22% by drought stress, respectively, while only LMA of late leaf was reduced 12.1% by O₃ treatments and LA and ILW were significantly reduced 23.3% and 30% by drought treatments. (2) Significant interactions of elevated atmospheric O₃ concentration and mild drought were detected on LMA, LA, ILW, N and C contents in early leaves and LMA in late leaves. Except for LA, the decreases under interactive treatments were all less than independent O₃ effects. In conclusion, late leaf had less responses to elevated O₃ and drought stresses than early leaves which need to be considered separately. The interactive effects suggested drought had antagonistic effects with O₃ on growth indicators except for LA, indicating drought could mitigate the adverse efforts from O₃ effects.     

Stochastic density dependence in population size of a benthic clonal invertebrate: the regulating role of fission

The influence of environmental variation on the demography of clonal organisms has been poorly studied. I utilise a matrix model of the population dynamics of the intertidal zoanthid Palythoa caesia to examine how density dependence and temporal variation in demographic rates interact in regulating population size. The model produces realistic simulations of population size, with erratic fluctuations between soft lower and upper boundaries of approximately 55 and 90% cover. Cover never exceeds the maximum possible of 100%, and the population never goes to extinction. A sensitivity analysis indicates that the model’s behaviour is driven by density dependence in the fission of large colonies to produce intermediate sized colonies. Importantly, there is no density-dependent mortality in the model, and density dependence in recruitment, while present, is unimportant. Thus it appears that the main demographic processes which are considered to regulate population size in aclonal organisms may not be important for clonal species.

Post-settlement emigration affects mortality estimates for two Bahamian wrasses

Understanding the dynamics of open marine populations is inherently complex, and this complexity has led to decades of debate regarding the relative importance of pre- versus post-settlement processes in structuring these populations. Movement between patches may be an important modifier of patterns established at settlement, yet local immigration and emigration have received less attention than other demographic rates. I examined loss rates from tagged populations of juvenile wrasses (yellowhead wrasse Halichoeres garnoti and bluehead wrasse Thalassoma bifasciatum) at two sites in the Bahamas. Assuming that all losses were due solely to mortality would have significantly underestimated survivorship of yellowhead wrasse by 29% and bluehead wrasse by 14%. On average, per capita mortality and emigration rates were higher for yellowhead than bluehead wrasse, but neither demographic rate differed between sites for either species. With respect to within-species density, bluehead wrasse mortality was density-dependent at the patch reef site, but mortality rates of yellowhead wrasse were consistently density-independent. Evaluating the effects of between-species density, yellowhead wrasse mortality increased with a decrease in bluehead wrasse density, but this effect was limited to the patch reef site. Emigration rates were not a function of either within-species or between-species density, but instead varied inversely with isolation distance. Numerous previous studies of coral-reef fish, conducted on patch reefs separated by only a few meters of sand and often using untagged fish, may have confounded losses due to emigration with those due to mortality. A better understanding of the factors affecting emigration in marine fishes is important to their effective management using spatial tools such as marine protected areas.     

松嫩草地两种趋异型羊草克隆构型特征比较

This paper studied the clonal architecture of two divergent Leyrnus chinensis types (grey-green type and yellowgreen type) in Songnen grassland, and compared their internode length, spacer length, interbranching length, interbranching angle, and ramet population density and height under the same habitat. The results showed that there was no significant difference in these clonal characteristics except spacer length and ramet population density between the two types of L. chinensis, and yellow-green type, with less spacer length and more ramet density than grey-green type, should be more adaptable to the resourceful habitat. Moreover, the V-indices of the clonal architecture of two divergent L. chinensis types were all close to 1, and the difference was not significant. Therefore, both of the two types belonged to typical guerilla clonal plant.     

Plant-scale pattern among herbs and shrubs of a fire-dominated coastal plain forest

Herb and shrub layer vegetation was surveyed in the oak-pine upland forest of the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey (USA). To describe spatial distributions of individual species, 15 4 m² quadrats were censused in each of 34 stands. At the scale of whole stands, stem densities were significantly related to several forms of historical disturbance including canopy defoliation and fire. At the scales of 1 m² and 4 m² quadrats, distributions of the 19 most abundant species were all aggregated to some degree, with clonal species more strongly clustered than non-clonal. Shrub stems tended to be strongly clustered, and to be distributed independently of leaf litter. By contrast, tree seedlings were only marginally clustered, and were significantly more common in quadrats with a lower litter cover. Clonal herbs exceeded shrubs in degree of aggregation, but were also sensitive to the local accumulation of leaf litter. Distributions of non-clonal herbs were sensitive to leaf litter, but were only marginally clustered, and appeared to depend upon gaps in the tree canopy. Rather than supporting a single life history, a combination of disturbance types has allowed a variety of species with different ecological requirements and growth forms to coexist in the same site. Overall species diversity can be maintained in this ecosystem without invoking community-level interactions.     

林下和林窗内绢毛匍匐委陵菜的克隆生长和克隆形态

 为了验证绢毛匍匐委陵菜(Potentilla reptans var. sericophylla)林窗和林下种群间的行为差异是完全由表型可塑性引起,还是局部分化的结果,将生长在北京东灵山油松（Pinus tabulaeformis）林林窗和林下的绢毛匍匐委陵菜,进行生境间的交互移植-重植野外生态实验。研究结果表明,实验植物的叶片长度、叶片宽度、叶柄长度和匍匐茎节间长度等克隆形态特征在两生境间无差异。两个来源的植株,其基株生物量、基株分株数和基株匍匐茎总长度等克隆生长特征在林下生境中都比在林窗生境中小,表现出显著的可塑性。所研究的克隆形态特征和克隆生长特征及其可塑性在不同生境来源的实验植物间没有差异。绢毛匍匐委陵菜克隆形态特征和克隆生长特征及其可塑性在林下和林窗生境间没有发生局部分化,林窗为其较适生境,克隆生长特征的可塑性对绢毛匍匐委陵菜利用生境异质性可能具有重要意义
