高强度开发地区鸟类自然保护地保护空缺识别——以天津市为例

高强度开发地区因长期受到人类活动干扰,自然生境退化严重,生物多样性受到严重威胁,区域内自然保护地保护效率亟待提升。科学评价高强度开发地区自然保护地保护效率、识别生物多样性保护热点与空缺地区,对城镇化建设可持续发展具有重要意义。本研究以鸟类作为生物多样性指示物种,运用MaxEnt与InVEST模型分别计算天津市鸟类多样性及生境质量热点地区,并与现有自然保护地边界进行比较,精确识别保护空缺区域。结果表明：参与本研究MaxEnt模型建模的鸟类共19目54科228种;滨海地区各类自然与人工湿地为天津市鸟类最适宜生境,占天津市鸟类多样性热点地区的66.8%,且水库、鱼塘等人工湿地因食物来源充足,鸟类生境适宜度较高,表明适度的人工建设有利于提升鸟类多样性;天津市自然保护地对鸟类多样性热点地区覆盖率仅为37.7%,存在较为严重的保护空缺,空缺区域主要包括大神堂及临港地区湿地、河流交汇处及入海口湿地,是未来需进行重点保护的关键区域。采用两种模型协同分析的方法,能提高保护空缺区域识别精度,对高强度开发地区提高生物多样性保护效率具有一定普适性。     

鸟类栖息地研究的取样调查方法

栖息地或生境(habitat)是鸟类生活和繁殖的场所,即鸟类生活的环境条件。在鸟类生态学及资源保护利用研究中,为了充分了解某种鸟类的生活史、适应性以及演化过程,都必须定性或定量地了解该种鸟类的栖息地性质,因为这些特性对鸟类有深刻的影响。例如,生态位(niche)理沦要求我们在研究鸟类及其它     

河北唐海湿地不同生境鸟类群落结构的变化

本文运用样线法结合样方法调查了潮间带、碱蓬荒草丛及芦苇沼泽湿地等自然生境,沿海虾池、水稻田及涵养防护林带等人工生境的鸟类群落结构。结果表明:鸟类物种数、物种多样性和科、属多样性均以芦苇沼泽湿地最高,分别为126种、4.078和0.747;水稻田最低,分别为41种、2.436、0.381。β相似性系数矩阵分析表明,潮间带与沿海虾池鸟种相似性系数最高,为0.512,潮间带与涵养防护林带相似性系数最低,为0.024。从调查结果来看,应加强芦苇沼泽湿地的保护,减少水稻田的开发,适当把碱蓬荒草丛开发为沿海虾池,以发挥湿地最大的生态效益。     

盐城自然保护区新洋港河口不同生境冬季鸟类群落组成及其梯度变化

沿海湿地是鸟类重要的栖息地,人类活动导致的湿地生境变化对鸟类群落造成了一定的影响。在盐城自然保护区新洋港河口内,人类活动大体上导致了由陆向海方向,形成芦苇沼泽、农田、鱼塘和滩涂4种不同干扰程度的生境。分别在不同生境中设置3条长3 km的样线,对越冬鸟类的种类、数量进行了调查,运用多响应置换过程测试、指示种分析、双向聚类分析和除趋势对应分析等统计方法,研究了不同生境中冬季鸟类的指示物种、群落结构及梯度变化,结果表明:1)4种生境共记录鸟类67种,其中鱼塘生境的鸟类种类最多,为37种;滩涂生境的D'多样性指数在各生境不同时段中为最高,芦苇沼泽生境的H'多样性指数在各生境不同时段中为最高。与其余生境比较,芦苇沼泽、滩涂的均匀度也更高。生境间的差异性与鸟类群落的组成有关。2)MRPP分析表明,芦苇沼泽、农田生境的鸟类组成差异不显著(P0.05);其余组合各生境间的鸟类组成具有显著差异。灰鹤等9种鸟类可分别作为4种不同生境的指示种。3)双向聚类分析法把12种观测条件分为4大类,与生境划分非常吻合。在剩余信息40%水平上,鸟类可聚为7类。利用12种观测条件作为变量进行DCA排序的结果表明,鸟类类群在轴1上可以分为3个集群,分别为适应开阔水域环境的鸟类、依赖水生植被环境的鸟类和依赖陆地植被环境的鸟类。根据结果分析,生境异质性、干扰程度及潮水涨落等与鸟类多样性组成有密切关系;不同生境具有明显的指示种;鸟类群落结构为适应生境变化而出现一定的梯度变化。应加强芦苇沼泽的保护,在开垦农田、鱼塘和在光滩引入互花米草时应考虑到人类活动对鸟类多样性的影响。

多尺度结合的西安市浐灞河湿地水鸟生境保护规划

城市湿地及其物种多样性的保护是城市生态建设的重要内容.结合西安市浐灞河湿地,对城市湿地水鸟生境的保护规划问题进行了探讨.经调查,西安市浐灞河段共发现水鸟20种,分属8目12科,孕育了丰富的水鸟多样性资源.同时保留有本地湿地植物种类,生境类型多样,具有很高的保护价值.浐灞河湿地水鸟生境的保护规划应以景观生态学、保护生物学、复合种群等相关理论为指导,区域/景观-局地-群落多尺度结合,保护与开发结合进行规划,具体从以下方面着手:生境网络的构建;小生境的设计,滨水地带土地利用格局优化及生境水深的控制;生境植物群落的构建.     

澳门地区鸟类生境的景观格局

以2006年澳门地区TM遥感图像为主要数据源,在RS、GIS技术支持下,根据与鸟类活动密切相关的生境特征,利用Fragstats 3.3分析生境格局的基本特征和地区差异,讨论了景观的破碎化程度、连通性、景观异质性等对鸟类有重要影响的生境因素。结果显示：澳门的鸟类生境格局在澳门半岛和路氹离岛差异较大,与其城市化的程度有较高的相关性;澳门半岛以建设用地为基底,绿地数量少且破碎,景观多样性和异质性较低;路氹离岛以林地为基底,中部填海区的建设用地和裸地以大斑块存在,生境类型分布较澳门半岛均匀,连通性较佳,总体鸟类生境格局优于澳门半岛。澳门半岛有鸟类72种,其中陆生鸟类48种、水鸟24种;路氹离岛有鸟类146种,其中陆生鸟类94种、水鸟52种。对鸟类调查数据分析发现,生境格局对于鸟类物种数、多样性和均匀度方面均有一定影响。澳门在珠江口地区候鸟迁徙和湿地保护方面的重要性较高,在城市发展过程中应重视提高景观多样性和异质性,保护重要鸟类生境,以适应不同鸟类对各种生境的需求。     

达赉湖自然保护区冬春季鸟类生物多样性与生境的关系

2004年4月～5月,利用样带法对达赉洲自然保护区5种主要生境类型中冬春季鸟类生物多样性进行了调查,利用Shannon—Wiener指数和Smith相关性系数分析了这5种生境类型中冬春季鸟类的生物多样性、区系、鸟类的群落组成、群落间的相似性和均匀度。结果表明,古北界鸟类是组成达赉湖鸟类群落的主体（约古冬春季鸟类的86％）：芦节湿地的鸟类多样性接近于芦苇甸的2倍：芦苇湿地鸟类群落的物种多样性最高（Shannon—Wiener指数为1．3001）,而芦苇甸中鸟类群落的物种多样性最低（Shannon—Wiener指数为0．6629）;芦节湿地和芦节甸两鸟类群落组成的相关性指数仪为0．038;从儿有共同物种的多少考虑,典型草原和芨芨革单原鸟类群落之间的关联较大。     

广州新垦红树林湿地鸟类多样性与生境分析

2005-2006年的1月、4月、7月和10月,利用样带法对广州市新垦红树林湿地和周边农田进行鸟类物种多样性研究。利用Shannon-Wiener指数分析了生境类型的鸟类群落种数、数量、物种多样性、均匀性指数等特征。结果表明,新垦红树林湿地1月鸟类种数高于周边农田湿地2倍,鸟类群落个体数量高于农田湿地9倍;红树林湿地4月和7月鸟类种数高于周边农田湿地1．5倍,鸟类群落个体数量高于农田湿地4倍;红树林湿地10月鸟类种数高于周边农田湿地1．5倍,鸟类群落个体数量高于农田湿地6．8倍;新垦红树林湿地和周边农田湿地鸟类物种多样性表现出明显的季节性变化。     

辽河三角洲滨海湿地景观规划各预案对指示物种生境适宜性的影响

运用景观生态决策与评价支持系统（LEDESS）对辽河三角洲的3个景观规划预案,即湿地调整,生境管理和农业开发可能导致的地表覆盖物,自然生态单元等立地环境以及保护物种生境适宜性等区域生态后果进行了评估,并与现状进行了对比,模拟结果表明,预案A通过湿地调整措施不仅补偿了芦苇湿地的损失,还将部分不适宜生境和边境生境转变核心生境,相当程度上优化了保护物种丹顶鹤和黑嘴鸥的生境质量,预案B通过一系列生境管理措施,减轻了生境破碎化因素的影响,从而也显著改善了丹顶鹤生境质量,对黑嘴鸥生境质量也有一定改善,预宁C大规模农业开发如能控制一定规模（8000hm2)并采取一定合理模式（滚动开发）,能相当程度上减轻农业开发对物种生境的影响,即使不采取生境补偿措施,对丹顶鹤,黑嘴鸥核心生境也不会有破坏性的影响,模拟结果还表明,区域人类活动导致的生境破碎化是对丹顶鹤生境质量重要的干扰因子,而滩涂农业开发和水产养殖强烈地干扰了涂植被正常的演替过程,从而影响着黑嘴鸥等滩涂鸟类的生境适宜性。     

雅鲁藏布江流域底栖动物多样性及生态评价

雅鲁藏布江起源于喜马拉雅山,是世界上海拔最高的河流之一,是流经我国西藏境内重要的国际河流,其河流生态系统具有特殊地貌及生态条件。研究该流域底栖动物多样性分布特征及其影响因子,是科学评价该区域河流生态系统健康状况,实现资源可持续开发利用的基础。2009年10月—2010年6月期间,以底栖动物作为指示物种,对雅江流域干支流及堰塞湖的14个采样断面进行河流生态评价。采用Alpha及Beta生物多样性指数分别指示局部采样河段及全区域的底栖动物多样性。对采样断面底栖动物组成分析发现:14个采样断面共采集到底栖动物110种,隶属57科102属。雅江干流底栖动物种类数最高为29,平均为19。支流年楚河种类数为17。支流拉萨河,尼洋河,帕龙藏布的最高种类数分别为25,33,36;平均种类数分别为21,21,22,生物多样性普遍高于干流。整个流域中底栖动物平均种类数相差不大,但种类组成和密度相差较大。调查区域的Beta多样性指数β高于低海拔地区的相似的山区河流,说明雅江流域内底栖动物群落差异性高于正常海拔地区。对14个采样断面的物种组成进行除趋势对应分析表明:影响雅江流域底栖动物多样性的主要因素为河型,河床阻力结构,堤岸结构,水流流速。保持稳定的阶梯-深潭结构和自然堤岸结构,以及适宜的流速有利于保护雅江河流生态。     

Habitat selection of riparian birds at restoration sites along the Trinity River,California

Riparian habitats in the western United States are imperiled, yet they support the highest bird diversity in arid regions, making them a conservation priority. Riparian restoration efforts can be enhanced by information on species response to variation in habitat features. We examined the habitat selection of four riparian birds known as management indicators at restoration and reference sites along the Trinity River, California. We compared vegetation structure and composition at nest sites, territories, and random points to quantify used versus available habitat from 2012 to 2015. Vegetation in focal species' territories differed between site types, and from available habitat, indicating nonrandom site choice. Birds selected aspects of more structurally complex habitats, such as greater canopy cover, canopy height, and tree species richness. Yellow‐breasted Chats preferred greater shrub cover, and Yellow Warblers preferred greater cover by non‐native Himalayan blackberry. Territory preferences on restoration sites were often a subset of those on reference sites. One exception was canopy height, which was taller on restoration site territories than random points for all species, suggesting that birds preferentially used patches of remnant habitat. Few variables were significant in nest site selection. Restoration plantings along the Trinity River were only 3–10 years old during this study, and have not developed many of the characteristics of mature riparian habitat preferred by birds, but may improve in habitat value over time. Understanding habitat selection is especially important in recently human‐modified environments, where indirect cues used to assess habitat quality may become disassociated from actual habitat quality, potentially creating ecological traps.     

Interim Response of Wading Birds (Pelecaniformes and Ciconiiformes) and Waterfowl (Anseriformes) to the Kissimmee River Restoration Project,Florida, U.S.A

Success of the Kissimmee River Restoration Project will be evaluated in part by monitoring populations of wading birds (Pelecaniformes and Ciconiiformes) and waterfowl (Anseriformes). These two waterbird guilds were integral components of the pre‐channelization river–floodplain ecosystem, and both declined substantially following channelization. Restoration is expected to attract wading birds and waterfowl by reintroducing naturally fluctuating water levels, seasonal hydroperiods, and historic vegetation communities. Post‐construction aerial surveys (November 2001 to May 2008) within the Phase I restoration area indicate that the abundance and species richness of both wading birds and waterfowl have shown a positive restoration response thus far. Dry season abundance of aquatic wading birds and waterfowl has exceeded restoration expectations (≥30.6 birds/km² and ≥3.9 birds/km², respectively) each year since the completion of restoration Phase I in 2001. While there has been a significant positive restoration effect on waterfowl abundance, waterfowl species richness (n = 6) has not yet reached the restoration expectation of ≥13 species. Abundance of the terrestrial cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis), which increased dramatically after the majority of floodplain wetlands were converted to cattle pastures in the channelized system, has shown a significant negative response to restoration. It is anticipated that completion of the remaining phases of restoration (II/III), and implementation of the Kissimmee River Headwaters Revitalization water regulation schedule by 2019, will further increase and improve habitat for wading birds and waterfowl by reestablishing floodplain hydrology that more closely mimics historical conditions.     

湿地公园鸟类栖息地营建研究——以北京琉璃河湿地公园为例

北京地区处于全球候鸟东亚-澳大利西亚的迁徙路线上,是候鸟重要的迁徙路线,近些年,随着人为活动的影响,该区生境破碎化问题愈发突出,直接威胁着本地鸟种和过境迁徙鸟类的生存。为达到保护鸟类多样性的目的,需开展相应的栖息地恢复工作。不同生态类群的鸟类对栖息地有着不同的要求,相同鸟种在不同空间、季节和生活期对栖息地的选择也有着不同的特点。因而,鸟类栖息地恢复应针对目标鸟种根据其繁殖特点、巢位空间分布、食性特点、活动空间特点等进行规划营造。以北京房山琉璃河湿地公园为例,针对项目所在区域的鸟类分布特征,确定目标恢复鸟种,结合项目区现场条件,围绕目标鸟种对于栖息地水系、植被等方面的需求,从岸线重塑、水深设计、植物配置、生态鸟岛等方面规划设计鸟类栖息地修复措施。     

鸭绿江口湿地鸻鹬类停歇地的生物生态研究

鸭绿江口湿地是鸻鹬类在东亚一澳大利亚北迁路线上的最重要停歇地,潮间带上的双壳类、腹足类、多毛类等底栖动物为鸻鹬类提供了能量保障.2010年3月-2011年6月对鸭绿江口潮间带的生物生态进行了调查研究.研究结果表明,生物群落结构相对简单,主要以双壳类、腹足类和多毛类为主,优势种演替明显,系统具有低多样性低密度的特点.鸻鹬类能量补充来源相对匮乏,饵料生物量的更新速度较慢,所提供的能值也相对较低,江户明樱蛤、青蛤(幼体)和长吻沙蚕是鸻鹬类的主要食物来源.鸻鹬类主要集中在低潮带下区觅食,在北迁高峰期对低潮带下区饵料生物影响较显著,尤其对江户明樱蛤丰度影响最明显.泥螺作为优势种,生态位最宽,分布于整个调查断面和潮带,但因体表分泌一种毒性粘液而不被鸻鹬类取食.饵料生物的种群补充能力较强,在鸻鹬类迁徙高峰期之后,饵料丰度和生物量又会恢复到正常水平.虽然目前人类对鸻鹬类的威胁显现较小,但使人类一生态系统一滨鸟之间持续和谐统一,必须综合考量鸭绿江口湿地包括人类在内的生态系统各关键组分之间的生态关联,兼顾生态系统的完整性和人类社会经济发展的可持续性.     

Conceptual Evaluation of Factors Potentially Affecting Restoration of Habitat Structure within the Channelized Kissimmee River Ecosystem

A critical element of the ongoing effort to restore the ecological integrity of Florida's Kissimmee River ecosystem is the reestablishment of pre-channelization habitat structure and function. Restoration of habitat will form the basis for responses by most biological components of the ecosystem and will provide a key indicator of the success of the restoration effort. This paper evaluates the relative importance of a range of abiotic and biotic habitat parameters in the existing and historic Kissimmee River ecosystem and provides a conceptual framework for predicting expected spatial and temporal responses of river and floodplain habitats to the restoration project. Among the ecological factors and process that influenced the development, dynamics, and maintenance of river and floodplain habitat structure, hydrology is expected to be of central importance in eliciting restoration responses in the Kissimmee River Ecosystem. Based on the assumption that the restoration plan will reestablish historic hydrologic characteristics, predictions are made of expected responses by geomorphic and vegetative components of the Kissimmee River's habitat structure. Recommendations are made regarding key habitat parameters requiring long term tracking and analysis and utilization of a geographic information system(GIS). A hierarchical habitat classification scheme is provided as a foundation for all components of the restoration evaluation program.

A scientific basis for restoring fish spawning habitat in the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers of the Laurentian Great Lakes

Loss of functional habitat in riverine systems is a global fisheries issue. Few studies, however, describe the decision‐making approach taken to abate loss of fish spawning habitat. Numerous habitat restoration efforts are underway and documentation of successful restoration techniques for spawning habitat of desirable fish species in large rivers connecting the Laurentian Great Lakes are reported here. In 2003, to compensate for the loss of fish spawning habitat in the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers that connect the Great Lakes Huron and Erie, an international partnership of state, federal, and academic scientists began restoring fish spawning habitat in both of these rivers. Using an adaptive management approach, we created 1,100 m² of productive fish spawning habitat near Belle Isle in the Detroit River in 2004; 3,300 m² of fish spawning habitat near Fighting Island in the Detroit River in 2008; and 4,000 m² of fish spawning habitat in the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River in 2012. Here, we describe the adaptive‐feedback management approach that we used to guide our decision making during all phases of spawning habitat restoration, including problem identification, team building, hypothesis development, strategy development, prioritization of physical and biological imperatives, project implementation, habitat construction, monitoring of fish use of the constructed spawning habitats, and communication of research results. Numerous scientific and economic lessons learned from 10 years of planning, building, and assessing fish use of these three fish spawning habitat restoration projects are summarized in this article.     

Massasauga Home Range Patterns in the Midwest

Abstract: The massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus) has drastically declined throughout its range mainly due to habitat loss and human persecution. Populations of the massasauga that occur north and east of the Missouri River, USA, are currently candidates for listing under the United States Endangered Species Act. In areas where land managers wish to improve habitat for existing populations or create habitat for repatriation efforts, an understanding of massasauga spatial ecology is necessary to ensure that adequate sized blocks of habitat are created and properly managed. We studied spatial ecology of massasaugas at 2 sites in Wisconsin and 3 sites in Missouri over an 11-year period. Our results indicated that male massasaugas had larger spatial requirements than all other cohorts. Our study sites supporting viable populations indicated that managers interested in restoring or enhancing massasauga habitat should use 100 ha as a minimum restoration or management target.

Ecological Theory and Community Restoration Ecology

Community ecological theory may play an important role in the development of a science of restoration ecology. Not only will the practice of restoration benefit from an increased focus on theory, but basic research in community ecology will also benefit. We pose several major thematic questions that are relevant to restoration from the perspective of community ecological theory and, for each, identify specific areas that are in critical need of further research to advance the science of restoration ecology. We ask, what are appropriate restoration endpoints from a community ecology perspective? The problem of measuring restoration at the community level, particularly given the high amount of variability inherent in most natural communities, is not easy, and may require a focus on restoration of community function (e.g., trophic structure) rather than a focus on the restoration of particular species. We ask, what are the benefits and limitations of using species composition or biodiversity measures as endpoints in restoration ecology? Since reestablishing all native species may rarely be possible, research is needed on the relationship between species richness and community stability of restored sites and on functional redundancy among species in regional colonist “pools.” Efforts targeted at restoring system function must take into account the role of individual species, particularly if some species play a disproportionate role in processing material or are strong interactors. We ask, is restoration of habitat a sufficient approach to reestablish species and function? Many untested assumptions concerning the relationship between physical habitat structure and restoration ecology are being made in practical restoration efforts. We need rigorous testing of these assumptions, particularly to determine how generally they apply to different taxa and habitats. We ask, to what extent can empirical and theoretical work on community succession and dispersal contribute to restoration ecology? We distinguish systems in which succession theory may be broadly applicable from those in which it is probably not. If community development is highly predictable, it may be feasible to manipulate natural succession processes to accelerate restoration. We close by stressing that the science of restoration ecology is so intertwined with basic ecological theory that practical restoration efforts should rely heavily on what is known from theoretical and empirical research on how communities develop and are structured over time.
