濒危植物峨眉含笑的种内、种间竞争

研究植物种内、种间竞争关系是探究植物濒危原因的重要方式之一, 根据竞争来源和竞争预测模型可以制定具有针对性的保护策略。本文以雅安周公山峨眉含笑(Michelia wilsonii)野生种群为研究对象, 使用逐步扩大范围法确定峨眉含笑的竞争范围半径, 运用Hegyi单木竞争模型计算竞争指数(competition index, CI), 分析其种内、种间竞争关系。结果表明: 峨眉含笑的最适竞争范围半径是10 m, 能较好地反映其种内竞争强度; 峨眉含笑的竞争压力主要来自种内, 种内竞争指数(348.72, 62.52%)远大于种间竞争指数(209.03, 37.48%); 小树、中树阶段个体的竞争强度较大, 平均竞争指数(3.97、3.14)远高于总体平均竞争指数(2.68); 内有21种竞争木, 其中杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)、华中樱桃(Prunus conradinae)、细刺枸骨(Ilex hylonoma)是峨眉含笑的主要竞争树种; 胸径与竞争指数间服从指数函数关系(CI = 3.8907e^-0.048x, R² = 0.1087, P < 0.01), 随着对象木胸径的增大, 竞争指数不断降低, 当胸径达到30 cm后, 竞争强度基本稳定。综上, 小树、中树阶段的峨眉含笑个体受到极强的种内竞争, 初入老树阶段的个体受到较强的种间竞争。为更好地保护峨眉含笑的天然种群, 降低竞争对种群更替的影响, 在林分管理中需要促进小树、中树的个体更新, 减轻植株间的竞争消耗, 加速峨眉含笑的生长和维持种群稳定。     

基于树冠竞争因子的落叶松人工林单木生长模型

基于黑龙江省佳木斯市孟家岗林场落叶松人工林14块固定标准地的两期调查数据(2007、2009年),通过分析树冠变量与林木生长的关系,构建了2个树冠竞争指数(CIa、CIb),并将其作为单木竞争指标构建了落叶松人工林与距离有关的单木生长模型。研究结果表明:文中提出的二个树冠竞争指数优于Hegyi竞争指数(CI),落叶松各个竞争指数与林木断面积生长量相关性大小顺序为CIbCIaCI。随着对象木影响圈的扩大,竞争指数趋于稳定,对模型的拟合效果有所提高。林木大小是影响落叶松单木生长的主要因子,胸径越大,单木生长量越大。通过引入与距离有关的树冠竞争指数将单木模型的拟合优度提高了5.6%。本文构建的与距离有关的单木生长模型可以很好地预估人工落叶松单木的断面积生长量。     

落叶松人工林空间结构优化的探讨

基于落叶松(Larix olgensis Henry)人工林固定标准地ML707的每木检尺数据,针对人工林普遍具有混交度低,分布均匀的特点。主要从林分竞争机制和树冠营养空间利用情况等方面提出了利用Hegyi竞争指数、生长空间指数、生长空间竞争指数分析优化林分空间结构,进一步比较了不同择伐强度下林分空间结构变化的大小。研究结果表明：14%左右为林分最优的择伐强度,空间优化达到最佳,优化后林分竞争态势减小,营养空间利用程度增大,林分空间结构得到改善。     

基于引力模型的林木竞争分析

引力模型是否可以应用于森林群落林木竞争关系分析是值得研究的问题。基于引力模型建立林木相对活力圈能反映竞争木活力大小,基于竞争木的相对活力圈建立引力竞争指数能准确反映林木生长与林木竞争的关系。以浙江省天目山国家级自然保护区针阔混交林为研究对象,将V_Hegyi竞争指数、引力竞争指数分别与胸径进行相关分析,胸高断面积生长量分别与2种竞争指数进行相关分析,胸径生长率与2期引力竞争指数的比值(2021年与2006年的引力竞争指数之比)进行相关分析,此外,对相对活力圈直径与胸径进行相关分析,并比较分析了活立木与枯死木的竞争指数大小。结果表明: 2种竞争指数与胸径均呈显著负相关,且均服从幂函数关系。林木胸高断面积生长量与2种竞争指数均呈显著负相关,但引力竞争指数比V_Hegyi竞争指数更能反映林木生长与林木竞争的关系。相对于V_Hegyi竞争指数的比值,2期引力竞争指数的比值更能说明林木生长与林木竞争的关系。在针阔混交林中,阔叶树种的生长与竞争的相关性>针叶树种生长与竞争的相关性。林木枯损受竞争的显著影响。林木相对活力圈大小与林木胸径大小呈显著负相关。引力模型是反映空间相互作用的重要模型之一,可以应用于林木竞争关系的研究,且基于引力模型建立的引力竞争指数可以作为评价林木竞争和林木活力的一个空间结构指标,比V_Hegyi竞争指数更能反映林木生长与林木竞争的关系。     

子午岭次生油松林立木竞争格局研究

研究干旱区森林立木竞争及空间分布格局,旨在为揭示干旱区森林恢复演替过程中竞争动态和格局形成驱动机制提供科学依据。经全面调查之后,依据时空互代原理选择了4个处于不同演替阶段,面积为0.25 hm²的大样地进行研究。采用Hegyi邻体密度模型研究立木竞争强度指数。采用Kriging法与Hegyi法相结合研究立木竞争的空间格局。采用一元和二元O-ring函数模型分别研究了乔木空间分布格局和乔木种间空间相关性。结果表明：在上述4个群落中油松（Pinus tabuliformis）种群密度分别为1 476、996、800、648株·hm^-2,白桦（Betula platyphylla）种群密度为48、32、44、16株·hm^-2,山杨（Populus davidiana）种群密度分别为64、28、24、12 株·hm^-2。3种主要乔木的竞争指数由高到低依次为油松、白桦、山杨,各物种竞争指数均随演替阶段的增长而下降;演替后期,胸径2~15 cm油松个体减少明显,而胸径大于30 cm的个体数量有所增加;在所有演替阶段中,油松竞争指数均随着胸径的增加而下降;油松种群竞争空间格局为典型的非匀质斑块状格局。点格局分析结果表明,油松种群在0~5 m尺度呈现聚集分布,且与其他树种在5~15 m尺度存在空间负相关。本研究主要结论如下,黄土高原次生油松林群落中油松竞争指数高于其他物种。油松在各演替阶段均呈现出基于径级大小的竞争不对称性,演替后期油松群落自疏机制为限制小径级个体的生长。竞争的格局在水平空间尺度具有斑块性,随着演替的进行,高竞争斑块在数量、范围和强度上减小,但并不会消失。油松生态策略为小尺度聚集分布,与其他树种在5~15 m尺度空间负相关,这个尺度已经超过了经典的树冠竞争理论范畴,其背后的原因需要更加深入地研究。     

青藏高原东缘红桦-岷江冷杉次生林中大径级保留木对其他林木的影响

为了研究森林采伐后保留木在次生群落恢复过程中对其他林木的影响, 采用Hegyi单木竞争指数(CI)和标记相关点格局k_d(r)函数对4 hm ²红桦-岷江冷杉(Betula albosinensis-Abies faxoniana)次生林样地中大径级保留木与其他林木的空间关系进行了分析。结果表明: 1)优势树种红桦(Betula albosinensis)与岷江冷杉(Abies faxoniana)的种间、种内竞争中, 种间Hegyi单木竞争指数(CI) (2.484) >红桦种内CI (1.711) >岷江冷杉种内CI (1.548); 2)大径级保留木与其他径级林木间的竞争指数中, 红桦大径级保留木与红桦小树的竞争指数最大, 红桦大径级保留木与岷江冷杉小树、岷江冷杉大径级保留木与红桦小树和岷江冷杉小树这三组的竞争指数之间无显著差异, 且三者的值最小; 3)在14.5-15.5 m尺度上, 红桦大径级保留木与岷江冷杉幼树呈显著的空间正关联; 在6.5-7.5 m的尺度上, 岷江冷杉大径级保留木与岷江冷杉幼树呈显著的空间负关联; 0-100 m尺度上, 岷江冷杉幼苗(树龄≥4年)与两种大径级保留木均呈相互独立的空间关系。     

油松、侧柏林种内竞争特点的对比研究

植物竞争研究一直是种群生态学最活跃的研究领域之一,论文以林木个体相对胸径、相对树高、相对冠幅、相对冠长、相对冠面积、树冠体积、树冠伸展度、冠长率、圆满度、投影比、生长空间指标、生长空间竞争指数和简单竞争指数13个变量作为对比研究油松、侧柏林个体之间竞争关系的指数,采用这些指标的变异系数对其种内竞争的差异程度进行比较研究,并用这些变量作为评价指标将其竞争能力分为两类:种内竞争性强的树种和种内竞争性弱的树种。油松为种内竞争性强的树种,而侧柏为种内竞争性弱的树种,已有的研究结果已从生物量、根系特征、抗旱机理、耗水特性、分布及结构特点五个方面为这种划分提供了理论支持。     

利用竞争指数评价水曲柳落叶松种内种间空间竞争关系

林木之间的竞争包括地上和地下两部分。竞争影响空间的确定对预测生长有重要的意义。本研究将竞争影响空间划分为两部分：距对象本最近的一圈,称为内圈,包括地上和地下竞争影响;除最近一圈以外称为外圈,主要为地下竞争影响。在此基础上将竞争指数分解为不同的竞争指数分量。并以水曲柳和落叶松纯林和混交林为例,定量地分析了竞争影响空间内地上竞争和地下竞争,种内和种间竞争影响大小。结果表明,纯林中两树体最近一圈内地上和     

祁连山排露沟流域青海云杉种群种内竞争与促进作用分析

探索种群的空间分布格局及其相互作用有助于阐释种群结构构建过程和空间分布维持机制中的潜在驱动因素, 进而为森林生态系统内不同种群的配置、经营与管理提供指导, 也为当地生态环境保护和区域资源开发提供科学依据。该研究以青海云杉(Picea crassifolia)为研究对象, 在祁连山排露沟流域设置3个面积为1 hm²的重复样地, 对样地内所有胸径≥1 cm的树木个体进行测量记录。采用成对相关函数(单变量成对相关函数g(r)和双变量成对相关函数g₁₂(r))和标记相关函数(标记相关函数K_mm(r)、标记变异函数γ_m(r)和Schlather’s I_m(r)函数)等点格局分析方法分析青海云杉种群的空间格局及种内相互作用。发现: (1)青海云杉种群径级分布连续, 整体呈倒“J”形结构。(2)青海云杉整体及幼树、小树呈现出小尺度上的聚集分布, 随空间尺度的增大逐渐趋于随机分布, 中树在整个观察尺度内均为随机分布模式, 大树则表现为小尺度上的均匀分布和大尺度上的随机分布。(3)青海云杉大树在小尺度范围内与其他径级个体均呈现出负关联, 在中尺度上呈现出正关联, 中树与小树、小树与幼树在小中尺度上表现为显著的正相关关系且随着空间尺度的增大逐渐转变为不相关。(4)青海云杉个体属性(胸径、树高、树冠面积)间在小中尺度上呈现出高度的相关性、强烈的抑制作用和显著的对称性竞争。     

Effect of climate and competition on radial growth of Pinus massoniana and Schima superba in China’s subtropical monsoon mixed forest

Tree growth is affected by many exogenous and endogenous factors, especially climate and competition. To address the issue of how these factors influence tree growth under global warming, dendroclimatology combined with competition analysis was used to examine the radial growth response of two major species – Pinus massoniana and Schima superba in subtropical monsoon mixed forests in southern China. For growth-climate relationship analysis, residual and ARSTAN chronologies of these two species were compared for the response function analysis over the past several decades. In terms of competition analysis, annual basal area increment (BAI) over several time intervals was calculated and linear mixed model techniques were employed. Several distance-independent competition indices were measured, including density (N), basal area (BA), and sum of diameter at breast height (SDBH). For competition trees with greater diameter (GR) than the subject tree, NGR, BAGR, SDBHGR were also calculated. Growth-climate relationship analysis suggested that tree growth varied in response to climate and was mostly correlated with minimum, mean and maximum air temperature as indicated by the adjusted R² value. Summer and winter temperatures had a negative effect on tree growth, while early spring temperature showed positive effects. Competition analysis suggested that subtropical trees had been affected by competition in varying degrees. Trees in the oldest forest had the most competition stress, while trees in younger forests were less affected by competition according to the adjusted R² value. Given that subtropical forests in China have been found to have more smaller trees with recent warming, it is expected that these forests will experience a decreasing effect of competition in near future. This can have profound effects on forest productivity and carbon sequestration potentials in Chinese subtropical forests.     

Importance and intensity of competition along a fertility gradient and across species

Questions: 1. Can the importance and the intensity of competition vary independently along a nutrient gradient? 2. Are these variations species dependent? Location: Sub‐alpine pastures of the northern French Alps. Methods: Competition intensity measures how much competition decreases the performances of an organism. Competition importance measures how much competition contributes to affect performance, among other processes (such as environmental stress or disturbance). Competition intensity and importance were measured on three co‐occurring species: Festuca rubra, a perennial grass, and two forbs of contrasting basal area, Chaerophyllum hirsutum and Alchemilla xantho‐chlora. A neighbour removal experiment was performed on Festuca rubra in three sub‐alpine grassland communities differing in fertility and on Chaerophyllum hirsutum and Alchemilla xanthochlora in the two more fertile of these communities. The importance of competition was quantified using an index proposed by Brooker et al. (2005). Results: Competition intensity and importance showed different patterns of variation along the fertility gradient for Festuca rubra: competition importance decreased with decreasing fertility whereas competition intensity did not change. The largest forb was the least affected by competition. Our results suggest that the importance of competition for all three species depended on their individual tolerance to low nutrient availability. Conclusions: 1. The distinction between the importance and the intensity of competition is helpful to explain conflicting results obtained on the variations of competition indices along productivity gradients. 2. The choice of a phytometer can affect the conclusions drawn from empirical studies.     

临安区不同森林类型竞争指数比较研究

竞争对树木生长有重要影响,通常用竞争指数定量描述树木之间的竞争关系。以浙江省杭州市临安区的乔木林为对象,利用2004年临安区森林资源监测数据,基于Voronoi图的Hegyi竞争指数,在区域尺度上对临安区多种森林类型的竞争关系进行分析。结果表明：在单木水平上,不同森林类型单木的总竞争指数、种内竞争指数、种间竞争指数在胸径5-10 cm最大;单木平均竞争指数随着胸径的增大而降低,胸径 > 30 cm的竞争压力得以缓解;临安区林木的竞争主要来源于种内竞争,天然林的种内竞争占总竞争指数的比例 > 50%,人工林的种内竞争占总竞争指数的比例 > 60%。径级平均总竞争指数、种内竞争指数、种间竞争指数与胸径的关系均服从对数函数关系。在林分水平上,不同森林类型的林分总竞争指数、种内竞争指数、种间竞争指数存在显著差异。平均总竞争顺序为：天然阔叶林 > 天然针阔混交林 > 人工针叶林 > 天然针叶林 > 人工针阔混交林 > 人工阔叶林。种内平均竞争顺序为：人工针叶林 > 天然阔叶林 > 天然针叶林 > 天然针阔混交林 > 人工针阔混交林 > 人工阔叶林。种间平均竞争顺序为：天然针阔混交林 > 人工针阔混交林 > 天然阔叶林 > 天然针叶林 > 人工针叶林 > 人工阔叶林。人工阔叶林的平均总竞争指数、种内竞争指数和种间竞争指数均为最小,该森林类型以山核桃经济树种为优势树种,说明为提高山核桃产量,人为控制低种植密度的经营措施有效降低了林分竞争强度。     

西双版纳热带季节雨林林冠种群种内、种间竞争的初步研究

利用Hegyi的竞争指数模型,分析了西双版纳热带季节雨林的主要类型绒毛番龙眼群落中林冠种群种内和种间的竞争强度及种群和个体在群落中的竞争干扰状态.结果表明,季节雨林中林冠种群的种间竞争大于种内竞争,每个林冠种群一般与多个其它林冠种群发生竞争.多数种群既被竞争种干扰,又干扰竞争种.个体在群落中所处的层次越高,受到的竞争干扰越小,下层中的个体多数处于受压迫状态.群落中没有完全的竞争优胜者.只有成年个体处于竞争优势地位,幼苗、幼树又能在受压迫中生存的种群,才能在群落中保持长期存在.     

Effects of individual size,local competition and canopy closure on the stem volume growth in a monoclonal Japanese cedar (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cryptomeria japonica</Emphasis> D. Don) plantation

We studied how the dominant factor affecting stem volume growth changes during stand development in a monoclonal stand of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don. Stem analysis was used to compare growth history of trees in an unthinned plot (closed canopy) and a thinned plot (open canopy). In the unthinned plot, the dominant factor affecting stem volume growth was basal area (BA) before canopy closure, whereas neighborhood competition index (CI) was the dominant factor after canopy closure. In contrast, the dominant factor affecting stem volume in the thinned plot was BA throughout stand development. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between BA and CI continued to increase after canopy closure and size rank among individuals became increasingly fixed. Our results indicated that stem volume growth shifts from size-dependent to competition-dependent growth at canopy closure. The apparent correlation between tree size and growth rate observed in many previous studies may be the result of competition-mediated positive feedback between size and growth.     

Growth models of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) on two volcanic mountains in the French Massif Central

Silver birch woodlands of two volcanic mountains (altitude 850 m and 1450 m) were studied in order to establish a growth model of birch. Height, radial increment and crown width were measured on both sites taking into account two situations: isolated birch or birch within a stand. For the latter case two categories were sampled considering the competition status of the tree: birch suffering the most severe competition (suppressed tree) were distinguished from trees facing the lowest competition (dominant tree). Measures of competition were also made using plots where each tree was located by its coordinates and its height, trunk circumference and crown width recorded. Examination of radial growth curves showed similar patterns for the two sites for the same category of tree. Radial growth was always inferior for the site located at the highest altitude but tree lifespan was about two-fold longer. Radial increment data were used to calculate circumference as function of tree age. Models predicting circumference with time were then established for each category of tree (dominant, suppressed or isolated) using Chapman–Richards'model. Height and crown width models were produced using circumference as the predictor. Competition indices based on vertical or horizontal angles weighted by the distance were calculated for birches in stands. Indices using vertical angles appeared to be more resistant and robust to characterize local competition. Competition index was then associated with the parameters of Chapman-Richards' growth circumference model for the two sites and models predicting the circumference from the age of the tree and its competition index are proposed.     

Plant competition for light analyzed with a multispecies canopy model

Summary A multispecies canopy photosynthesis simulation model was used to examine the importance of canopy structure in influencing light interception and carbon gain in mixed and pure stands of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and wild oat (Avena fatua L.), a common weedy competitor of wheat. In the mixtures, the fraction of the simulated canopy photosynthesis contributed by wheat was found to decline during the growing season and this decline was closely related to reductions in the amount of leaf area in upper canopy layers. For both species in mixture and in monoculture, simulated photosynthesis was greatest in the middle or upper-middle canopy layers and sensitivity analyses revealed that canopy photosynthesis was most sensitive to changes in leaf area and leaf inclination in these layers. Changes in LAI and leaf inclination affected canopy carbon gain differently for mixtures and monocultures, but the responses were not the same for the two species. Results from simulations where the structural characteristics of the two species were substituted indicated that species differences in leaf inclination, sheath area and the fraction of leaf area alive were of minor consequence compared with the differences in total leaf area in influencing relative canopy carbon gain in mixtures. Competition for light in these species mixtures appears to be influenced most by differences in the positioning of leaf area in upper canopy layers which determines, to a great extent, the amount of light intercepted.     

杉木-观光木人工混交林林木竞争效应研究

将人工混交林中林木竞争影响空间划分为内、外两圈,采用Hegyi提出的单木竞争指数模型对福建省建瓯东安林场杉木（Cunninghamia lanceolata）一观光木（Tsoongi odenodrum）混交林中林木的种内、种间竞争强度进行分析。结果表明,无论是内圈还是外圈,杉木种内、种间竞争强度均随林木径级的增大而减小;竞争强度顺序为：内圈杉木种内竞争〉内圈杉木观光木种间竞争〉外圈杉木种内竞争〉外圈杉木观光木种间竞争。用模型拟合预测杉木种内、种间的竞争强度,认为杉木在胸径达到36cm之前应采取适当的控制措施。
