亚高山草甸弃耕地植物群落演替的数量研究 Ⅰ.群落组成分析

本文采用由植被的空间序列推断时间上演替系列的方法对甘南亚高山草甸弃耕地上的植物群落组成进行了分析。结果表明:(1)弃耕初期,莎草、禾草类在群落中的地位从开始时的71%急剧地下降到弃耕十二年时的6%;以后随着密丛型的莎草、禾草的侵入,它们地位又开始上升而恢复到30%—40%;杂类草的地位在开始时上升较快,而到了后期又有所下降;毒害草在群落中的地位基本稳定,保持在10%左右。(2)群落的种丰富度、均匀度、Simpson多样性指数随弃耕年限增加而增大,而群落优势度随弃耕年限而减小。(3)优势度-多样性曲线在弃耕初期为几何分布型,中后期演变为对数正态分布型,而对放牧顶极群落又近似于MacArthur分布型。     

巫山高山移民迁出区不同弃耕年限对植物物种多样性的影响

以典型高山移民迁出区耕地(A1)、弃耕1a(A2)、弃耕5a(A3)、弃耕8a(A4)、弃耕5a生长大量白花银背藤(R1)为研究对象,采用空间序列代替时间序列的方法,比较不同弃耕年限植物重要值(P)、Margalef丰富度指数(R)、Shannon多样性指数(H′)、Pielou均匀度指数(J_w)、Simpson优势度指数(D)、Jaccard相似性指数(C_j)、Sorenson相似性指数(C_s)及多样性阈值(D_v),旨在探究不同退耕年限对植物物种多样性和群落结构的影响。结果显示,随弃耕年限增加,群落结构从草本+灌木转变为草本+灌木+乔木,群落优势物种由喜阳的一年生或多年生草本转变为耐阴的多年生草本;草本层和灌木层植物物种多样性随着演替年限的延长而增长,在演替的中后期达到最大值;A2与A3间群落的相似性指数最大;对不同弃耕年限样地植被群落多样性进行评定,都未达到"较好Ⅲ"级别,还需长期的恢复。恢复过程中注意对白花银背藤的监测,防止植物入侵。     

高寒地区多年生禾草混播草地的群落学特征研究

对青藏高原高寒地区天祝县金强河地区的 3年龄禾草混播草地进行了群落学特征研究。结果表明 ,栽培禾草比天然禾草约提前 15d返青 ,推后 10d成熟 ,整个生长期延长 2 5d左右 ;建植多年生禾草混播草地可以增加草地植被覆盖率 ,提高草地初级生产力 ,改善草地基况 ;多叶老芒麦和垂穗披碱草在群落中占优势地位 ,9类混播组合可以归为多叶老芒麦 (或垂穗披碱草 )单优群落和多叶老芒麦和垂穗披碱草共优群落两大类 ;全生长季内混播草群的生长速度呈倒“V”字型和倒“U”字型分布 ,草群的平均生长速度介于 0 5 5～ 0 .70cm·d-1;群落的物种多样性和丰富度随组分草种数目的增加而增加 ,均匀度则随草种数目增加而下降 ;人工禾草群落间优势种群的重叠程度越大 ,群落的相似程度越高。     

漓江流域不同弃耕年限下4种常见草本植物功能性状种内变化及其影响因素

为探究不同弃耕年限下植物功能性状的种内变化及其影响因素,加深对弃耕地植被恢复演替过程的认识,该研究聚焦于漓江流域桂林市临桂区几个村庄的农田边界、弃耕草地、灌草丛和林地4种一定程度上反映弃耕地植被恢复程度的生境,以分布较广的草本植物,即白茅(Imperatacylindrica)、双穗雀稗(Paspalumdistichum)、鬼针草(Bidenspilosa)和喜旱莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)为研究对象,研究不同弃耕年限下其比叶质量、叶干物质含量、叶片氮含量、叶片磷含量和植株高度5个功能性状的种内变化,并阐明土壤氮含量、磷含量、pH和木本植物盖度对其的影响。主要发现如下:随弃耕年限增加,样地土壤氮、磷含量显著下降,土壤氮磷比先增加后下降,木本植物盖度显著增加。白茅叶片氮含量随弃耕年限增加而增加,叶片磷含量随弃耕年限增加而下降,这是由于叶片氮含量与土壤磷含量呈负相关关系,叶片磷含量与土壤磷含量呈正相关关系。双穗雀稗比叶质量和叶干物质含量随弃耕年限增加而增加,植株高度随弃耕年限增加而降低。鬼针草植株高度随弃耕年限增加而降低,这是由于其植株高度随木本植物盖...     

植物功能群去除对高寒草甸群落结构、多样性及生产力的影响

群落中物种的丧失在干扰下普遍存在,但对生态系统过程和功能的影响仍存在较大不确定性。选取青藏高原东缘典型高寒草甸为对象,开展优势植物功能群的梯度去除试验,以模拟长期过牧干扰下物种的损失。经过连续两个生长季的功能群去除,我们对群落的物种组成、结构、多样性和生物量等特征进行了分析,探讨了上述指标的响应过程和机制。研究结果表明：（1）功能群的去除降低了群落高度,增加了物种均匀度,并显著影响了禾草、杂草优势比以及功能群多样性和优势度;（2）同时,去除操作显著减小了凋落物量与禾草生物量,并显著影响了群落地上生物量;（3）进一步分析还发现,禾草、莎草和杂草功能群之间存在显著的竞争关系,群落生产力主要取决于禾草功能群并随物种均匀度的增大而显著减小。上述结果表明,禾草在高寒草甸群落中占据竞争优势地位,植物功能群的损失主要通过改变种间竞争关系、引起有机物质丢失影响群落过程和功能。     

不同放牧率对内蒙古冷蒿草原植物多样性的影响

以８年（１９８９－１９９７年定位的放牧试验数据为基础,较全面分析了不同放牧率对冷蒿（Ａrtemisia frigida）草原植物多样性和草场异质性的影响,并从内蒙古细毛羊选择性采食和植物适应策略的角度探讨其影响机制。研究发现,在进行冷蒿小禾草草原的物种丰富度调查是,１００m的样线法是可行的;在探讨放牧对群落多样性的影响时,Ｓimpson多样性指数和均匀度指数对放牧率大小的变化更敏感。经过连续８年的放牧,不同放牧率对物种丰富度的影响不大。但植物多样性和均匀度随放牧率的增大而下降,群落优势度却随放牧率增大而增大,;内蒙古细毛羊的选择性采食和较高放牧率和互作是导致植物多样性和均匀度下降及群落优势度上升的主要原因。冷蒿、糙隐子草（Cleistogenes squarrosa)、星毛委陵菜（Potentilla acaulis)、冰草（Ａgropyron cristatum)和寸草苔（Carex duriusula)在不同放牧率下的种群消长决定了冷蒿草原的放牧演退规律和植物多样性大小;尽管内蒙古细毛羊较喜食糙隐子草,但其种群在所有放牧率下均是多度最大的３个种群之一。     

划破草皮对高寒草甸植物多样性和生产力的影响

本研究探讨了高寒草甸在不同划破强度下植被组成、多样性、功能群和生产力的变化.结果表明:垂穗披碱草等对土壤通透性和资源空间要求较高的物种,竞争力随划破强度的增加而上升,而对土壤通透性和资源空间要求相对较低的物种则相反;轻度划破干扰对提高物种丰富度具有一定的促进作用,但多样性指数则总体上表现为随划破强度的增加而呈下降的趋势;划破干扰对植被功能群的影响表现为以垂穗披碱草为代表的禾草类组分随干扰强度的增加而显著上升,莎草类和杂类草组分随干扰强度的增加而显著下降;划破干扰对草地初级生产力的提升具有显著的促进作用,且可显著增加植物总量中优质牧草的比重;划破干扰可独立作为高寒草甸类草地恢复与改良的有效措施,在定向培育垂穗披碱草型割草场的技术组合中具有核心和基础性的地位.     

与物种多样性有关的长白落叶松人工林生物量

对不同龄组长白落叶松(Larix olgensis)人工林群落的物种多样性和生物量及二者关系研究分析。结果表明:1)随林龄增大,群落物种组成结构和多样性特征发生了很大变化。物种更迭现象明显,春榆等阔叶树重要值上升,长白落叶松优势地位逐渐下降,植被类型向针阔混交林演替。群落Sorensen相似性指数降低,Shannon-Winner多样性指数呈"S"型曲线增长,Pielou均匀度指数呈反"S"型曲线下降,Margalef丰富度指数呈单峰曲线增长趋势;2)随林龄增大,群落生物量"S"型曲线增长趋势明显,分配序列为:乔木层木质物残体层灌木层草本层,占群落生物量比例分别为82.41%、15.10%、1.69%和0.81%。长白落叶松生物量占据主导地位,但所占比例持续下降,属于衰退型种群,而春榆等阔叶树比例上升。林下植被层中,草本的主导地位逐渐丧失,灌木取而代之,生物量所占比例明显升高。地表木质物残体生物量比例缓慢下降;3)群落中物种多样性测度指标与生物量之间单调线性增长的关系明显,Shannon多样性指数较之Pielou均匀度指数更适合作群落生物量度量指标,生物量与Margalef丰富度指数无明显相关性。     

南京灵谷寺森林动态变化的研究

利用1951、1981和1991年的定点样带资料,对南京灵谷寺森林植物区系、物种多样性、显著度和年龄结构的动态变化进行了研究。40年来,种数由75种骤减到50种,复又增加到56种,个体数由5097株骤增到20585株,复又下降到3344株。而其Simpson指数和Shannon-Wiener指数的变化很小。显著度的分布均为对数级数型,优势种的作用非常明显,前6个种的显著度分别占了群落总显著度的75.4％、96.2％和84.4%。先锋树种马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)因幼苗的成活率低,显现衰退迹象,而黄连木(Pistcia chinensis Bge.)的年龄结构则表示该种群有再次占据优势的可能。群落中增长型常绿树种种群的出现,既反映了群落环境的改善,又意味着群落向地带性植被发育的可能性。     

煤矿复垦地不同恢复阶段植物群落功能群结构与生物多样性变化

选取黄土高原区黑岱沟露天煤矿不同复垦阶段(1995～2010年)样地4块,以原地貌样地为对照,以时空替代的方法,对煤矿复垦地的植物群落的功能群结构及生物多样性进行研究.结果表明:(1)随着复垦时间的延长,植物群落功能群组成以多年生禾草和多年生杂类草为主,其累积优势度均呈现增加的趋势,而一、二年生草本的累积优势度减小;复垦初期,群落功能群单一、组成种类贫乏,多为一、二年生植物;复垦后期,羊草及冰草逐步出现,复垦地最终形成以克氏针茅、本氏针茅、赖草及糙隐子草为主的植物群落.(2)复垦过程中,中生植物及中旱生植物所占比例逐步增加,而旱生植物比例逐步减少;多年生禾草及多年生杂类草生物量随着复垦时间的增加而递增,而一、二年生草本植物生物量递减;群落总生物量呈先急剧增加、又急剧减少、后缓慢增加的规律.(3)群落的Shan-non-Wiener多样性指数(H)、Patrick丰富度指数(Pa)及Pielou均匀度指数(JP)随着复垦时间延长而增加.     

铜陵市狮子山铜尾矿废弃地生态恢复过程中植被演替规律

通过对铜陵市狮子山铜尾矿废弃地植被的实地调查,探讨了该废弃地的植被状况及其植被恢复过程中的植物群落形成与演替的一般规律与特征。结果表明目前废弃地入侵、定居植物共49种,隶属于15科38属,主要包括菊科(12种)、禾本科(11种)、豆科(8种)等。极端贫瘠和过高的重金属含量(特别是Cu、Cd,平均超出对照土样的20~30倍)是限制植物在废弃地定居的主要因素。全部植物中,一、二年生草本植物26种,多年生草本植物20种。风播种子和果实是废弃地植物繁殖体的主要来源。尾矿废弃地植物群落形成具有先锋植物的入侵、定居、群聚和竞争等过程,共形成了14种相对稳定的小群落,包括单优势种群落、次优势种群落和共优势种群落三种类型。伴随着尾矿废弃地植物群落的形成与演替,群落中物种丰富度增大,多样性指数呈增加趋势,而群落内植物种综合优势比间的差值趋于减小。     

The effect of land management on plant community composition, species diversity, and productivity of alpine Kobersia steppe meadow

Grassland degradation is widespread and severe on the Tibet Plateau. To explore management approaches for sustainable development of degraded and restored ecosystems, we studied the effect of land degradation on species composition, species diversity, and vegetation productivity, and examined the relative influence of various rehabilitation practices (two seeding treatments and a non-seeded natural recovery treatment) on community structure and vegetation productivity in early secondary succession. The results showed: (1) All sedge and grass species of the natural steppe meadow had disappeared from the severely degraded land. The above-ground and root biomass of severely degraded land were only 38 and 14.7%, respectively, of those of the control. So, the original ecosystem has been dramatically altered by land degradation on alpine steppe meadow. (2) Seeding measures may promote above-ground biomass, particularly grass biomass, and ground cover. Except for the grasses seeded, however, other grass and sedge species did not occur after seeding treatments in the sixth year of seeding. Establishment of grasses during natural recovery treatment progressed slowly compared with during seeding treatments. Many annual forbs invaded and established during the 6 years of natural recovery. In addition, there was greater diversity after natural recovery treatment than after seeding treatments. (3) The above-ground biomass after seeding treatment and natural recovery treatment were 114 and 55%, respectively, of that of the control. No significant differences in root biomass occurred among the natural recovery and seeded treatments. Root biomass after rehabilitation treatment was 23–31% that of the control.     

Population structure and succession in temperate forests of southwestern Japan

In the temperate forests of southwestern Japan, the population density of woody plants in the community increases in the early stage of secondary succession, reaches a peak in the old oak-chestnut forest, and decreases towards the climax beech forest. The species richness and diversity of woody plants also show a trend similar to that of the population density. The canopy-tree population decreases in the course of the succession while the basal area increases, showing a self-thinning process. The species richness, diversity and population density of herbaceous plants are much influenced by the dominance of the bamboo, Sasa palmata. The life-history traits of trees, lower trees and shrubs are discussed in relation to their shoot system, reproductive pattern and successional processes.     

黄河首曲-玛曲县高寒草甸沙化演替进程中群落结构及种群生态位特征

以甘肃省玛曲县高寒沙化草甸为对象,应用空间序列代替时间序列的方法,对其不同沙化演替阶段植物群落主要种群结构及其生态位特征进行了研究.结果表明:(1)随着沙化演替的进行,物种组成数呈单峰式曲线变化规律,在轻度沙化阶段物种数最多(43种),禾草类和豆科类物种的重要值和生态位宽度均呈逐渐减少规律,优势度逐渐减弱;在极度沙化阶段(除垂穗披碱草外)几乎完全消失,莎草类和杂类草一些物种的重要值和生态位宽度则均呈逐渐增大规律,优势度逐渐增加,并在重度或极度沙化阶段成为优势种、次优势种或重要伴生种;随沙化演替进程,蒲公英、狼毒和乳白香青等物种则表现出波动性,最后消失,物种组成和数量的变化导致沙化演替进程中高寒草甸草场质量逐渐降低.(2)相邻沙化演替阶段植物群落的物种组成相似性指数较高,而相距较远的沙化演替阶段植物群落的物种组成相似性指数较小,沙化演替系列两个极端阶段的植物群落的物种组成相似性指数最小.(3)垂穗披碱草在整个沙化演替过程中重要值和生态位宽度均逐渐减小,但其值都较大.(4)生态位总宽度占前5位的物种依次是:垂穗披碱草、莓叶委陵菜、矮嵩草、高山唐松草和苔草,其值分别为1.653、1.438、1.387、1.295和1.204.(5)种群之间生态位重叠系数的平均值随沙化程度加深呈单峰式曲线变化规律,轻度沙化阶段种群的生态位重叠程度较高,为0.824.     

Soil and plant factors driving the community of soil-borne microorganisms across chronosequences of secondary succession of chalk grasslands with a neutral pH

Although soil pH has been shown to be an important factor driving microbial communities, relatively little is known about the other potentially important factors that shape soil-borne microbial community structure. This study examined plant and microbial communities across a series of neutral pH fields (pH=7.0-7.5) representing a chronosequence of secondary succession after former arable fields were taken out of production. These fields ranged from 17 to >66 years since the time of abandonment, and an adjacent arable field was included as a reference. Hierarchical clustering analysis, nonmetric multidimensional scaling and analysis of similarity of 52 different plant species showed that the plant community composition was significantly different in the different chronosequences, and that plant species richness and diversity increased with time since abandonment. The microbial community structure, as analyzed by phylogenetic microarrays (PhyloChips), was significantly different in arable field and the early succession stage, but no distinct microbial communities were observed for the intermediate and the late succession stages. The most determinant factors in shaping the soil-borne microbial communities were phosphorous and NH(4)(+). Plant community composition and diversity did not have a significant effect on the belowground microbial community structure or diversity.     

科尔沁沙地植被恢复系列上群落演替与物种多样性的恢复动态

通过对科尔沁沙地植被恢复系列上不同阶段的群落取样,研究了植被恢复过程中群落物种组成、物种多样性的变化过程.在演替时间分别为1年、3年、5年、12年、20年和30年的群落中,物种丰富度分别为7、11、17、14、28和30种,而物种多样性指数分别为1.458 8、2.610 0、3.108 4、1.696 8、3.738 6、3.639 6.在生活型结构上,一年生植物的种类数量占绝对优势,但随着演替进展,多年生植物的种类数量增加且单种植物的优势度超过了一年生植物,表明多年生植物在群落功能维持中占据重要地位.随演替进展,来自不同科属的植物增加.藜科植物在演替过程中种类数量较为稳定,特别是在演替早期藜科植物占有很高的优势度.禾本科种类随演替进展不断增加,且在群落中的优势度逐渐上升.总体上,随演替进展群落种类组成与物种多样性增加,群落生态优势度下降,而均匀度增加,群落趋向稳定.     

海南岛热带低地雨林刀耕火种弃耕地自然恢复过程中的群落构建

研究群落构建机制是群落生态学的一个重要目标, 群落动态过程中的构建规律对于了解群落演替机理有重要的作用。该文以海南岛刀耕火种干扰后自然恢复的10 hm ²热带低地雨林为研究对象, 通过比较不同恢复阶段的次生林(15年、30年和60年)和老龄林在幼苗、幼树和成年树群落的物种组成, 揭示次生演替过程中的群落构建规律。研究结果表明, 老龄林中不同径级群落的物种多样性及不同径级间的物种相似度显著高于各恢复阶段的次生林, 但优势种在群落中的比例低于各恢复阶段的次生林。随着自然恢复过程的进行, 次生林群落物种组成与老龄林的相似性也逐渐增大, 支持演替平衡理论。所有恢复阶段样地中幼苗的个体、物种丰富度和基于多度涵盖估计量(ACE)都低于幼树和成年树群落, 幼苗层物种组成与幼树、成年树也有较大差异, 说明新增到幼苗群落可能是一个难于预测的过程。研究结果说明了确定过程和随机过程共同决定了次生演替的群落构建。     

Impacts of Land Abandonment on Vegetation: Successional Pathways in European Habitats

Changes in traditional agricultural systems in Europe in recent decades have led to widespread abandonment and colonization of various habitats by shrubs and trees. We combined several vegetation databases to test whether patterns of changes in plant diversity after land abandonment in different habitats followed similar pathways. The impacts of land abandonment and subsequent woody colonization on vegetation composition and plant traits were studied in five semi-natural open habitats and two arable habitats in six regions of Europe. For each habitat, vegetation surveys were carried out in different stages of succession using either permanent or non-permanent plots. Consecutive stages of succession were defined on a physiognomic basis from initial open stages to late woody stages. Changes in vegetation composition, species richness, numbers of species on Red Lists, plant strategy types, Ellenberg indicator values of the vegetation, Grime CSR strategy types and seven ecological traits were assessed for each stage of the successional pathway. Abandonment of agro-pastoral land-use and subsequent woody colonization were associated with changes in floristic composition. Plant richness varied according to the different habitats and stages of succession, but semi-natural habitats differed from arable fields in several ecological traits and vegetation responses. Nevertheless, succession occurred along broadly predictable pathways. Vegetation in abandoned arable fields was characterized by a decreasing importance of R-strategists, annuals, seed plants with overwintering green leaves, insect-pollinated plants with hemi-rosette morphology and plants thriving in nutrient-rich conditions, but an increase in species considered as endangered according to the Red Lists. Conversely, changes in plant traits with succession within the initially-open semi-natural habitats showed an increase in plants thriving in nutrient-rich conditions, stress-tolerant plants and plants with sexual and vegetative reproduction, but a sharp decrease in protected species. In conclusion, our study showed a set of similarities in responses of the vegetation in plant traits after land abandonment, but we also highlighted differences between arable fields and semi-natural habitats, emphasizing the importance of land-use legacy.     

Changes in diversity and importance of clonal plants during sand dune succession in northeastern China

Many major biomes throughout the world are dominated by plants with clonal growth forms. While many recent studies have examined the effects of clonality on the growth of individual plants, relatively few studies have tested the community level effects of clonality as a function of environmental characteristics. By investigating six sand dune sites that have undergone different numbers of years of natural restoration constituting a succession sere, we quantified if the abundance and importance of clonal plants was related to successional age in the stressful environment of a semi-arid sand dune region in northeastern China. We expected that clonal plants would dominate at every stage of the succession sere. We also predicted that species diversity would decrease in later stages of the succession sere due to the extremely high proportion of clonal plants in the community. Our results showed that, through 45 years of succession, the total plant species richness and Shannon–Wiener diversity index continually increased. While the species number of clonal plants was consistently low during the succession, the importance of clonal plants increased gradually from none at 3 years to 49 % of the total, approximately equal to that of aclonal plants, at the 45-year site. Clonal plants with phalanx strategies were more important than guerillas at all ages in sand dune succession. At the beginning and early stages of sand dune succession, aclonal plants were more important than clonal plants, perhaps due to greater seed propagation. The distribution or arrangement of aclonal and clonal plants in the whole process of sand dune complemented each other. The results presented give new perceptions on the function of biodiversity in maintaining ecosystems.     

Secondary succession of weed communities in lowland habitats of Taiwan in relation to the introduction of wild-rice (Oryza perennis) populations

Wild-rice (Oryza perennis Moench) populations were introduced into abandoned lowland fields (and a ditch) at five sites in Taiwan. The weeds arising after clearance and tillage of the fields were observed with regard to various attributes of the community during three years. Among a total of 84 identified species, Leersia hexandra had the highest relative frequency. With secondary succession, the percentage biomass of perennial species, particularly of grasses, gradually increased and the dominance index (1-H′/H′ _max) also increased. Species present in the buried seed pool in soil samples showed a different pattern of successional changes. With species classified into grass, sedge, and dicot groups and their percentage of biomass data compared with corresponding data for the density of plants from buried seeds, a negative correlation was found which suggested differences in behavior among the plant groups. Experiments on the effects of weeding and inundation suggested that the niches of Oryza perennis and of Leersia hexandra largely overlap, and differed from that of Panicum repens. The wild-rice populations declined as Leersia dominated. This relationship was demonstrated by principal component analysis and standard partial regression analysis of the data.
