Plants Replacing Plants: The Future of Community Modeling and Research

Over the past few decades, several conceptual and mathematical models of plant community organization and dynamics have been put forward. While each of these models has attempted to explain important plant community patterns by attributing them to some aspect of plant niches, or to a higher-level process, their predictive success has been very limited. Here I explore why this has happened by reviewing and summarizing each model individually by highlighting the plant community pattern each is trying to explain and predict, by identifying the mechanisms, tolerances, and/or processes authors propose are producing those patterns and describing how they work within the model, and by examining the assumptions of each model. I then discuss common misconceptions and shortcomings among the models, and finally propose a unifying synthesis and comprehensive framework that can serve as a basis for future plant community modeling and research. This synthesis is composed of three key ideas (1) that plant-plant replacements are the “fundamental process” of plant communities which produce every community-level terrestrial plant pattern, (2) that plants respond to mechanisms and tolerances which work both in spaces inside plants and in those spaces outside plants that influence them and/or they may be able to influence, and (3) that those responses make up plant niches which may be able to predict how plants replace themselves over time and space. Consequently I suggest to future field researchers that the best way to understand plant community patterns is to study plant-plant replacements, first by sampling long-term vegetation plots in order to map them, and then by manipulating mechanisms and tolerances in field experiments in order to understand what causes them.

城市绿化植物-凋落物-土壤系统碳氮磷化学计量特征研究

以福建福州市常见的15种乔木、灌木和草本绿化植物为对象,连续2年取样测定了这些植物、凋落物、立地土壤、土壤微生物量C、N、P含量,探讨城市绿化植物-凋落物-土壤系统生态化学计量特征,为中国城市绿化植物的生态功能恢复与植被重建提供科学依据。结果表明:(1)绿化植物不同器官C、N、P含量均表现为草本灌木乔木、C含量N含量P含量、叶茎根,呈现出叶的富集作用;绿化植物各器官化学计量比(C/N、C/P、N/P)也表现出基本一致的乔木灌木草本的变化趋势;各绿化植物对N的再吸收率极显著高于对P的再吸收率(P0.01),绿化植物N和P再吸收率表现为乔木灌木草本,不同绿化植物对N的再吸收率差异均显著(P0.05),对P的再吸收率差异均不显著(P0.05)。(2)绿化植物凋落物C、N、P含量基本表现为草本灌木乔木,其中不同绿化植物凋落物P含量差异不显著。(3)绿化植物立地土壤C、N、P含量表现为草本灌木乔木,但其N/P差异不显著;土壤微生物量C、N、P含量基本表现为草本灌木乔木,其相应的C/N、C/P、N/P差异均不显著。(4)植物-土壤-凋落物-土壤微生物量(C、N、P)均随着生长季温度的升高而降低,随着年降水量的增加而升高,P素的回归系数绝对值明显低于C素和N素;植物-凋落物-土壤的C与N含量、N与P含量、C/P与N/P、以及土壤和植物的C/N与N/P之间均呈显著正相关关系,而凋落物的C/N与N/P之间呈显著负相关关系;典范对应CCA排序中,植物高度、冠幅、茎粗、比叶面积和叶面积指数对植物-凋落物-土壤-土壤微生物量C、N、P含量和C/N、C/P和N/P具有较大影响作用,其中高度、冠幅和茎粗与比叶面积和叶面积指数呈负相关关系,与凋落物-土壤-土壤微生物量C、N、P含量呈负相关关系,与植物C、N、P含量呈正相关关系;而凋落物-土壤-土壤微生物量C、N、P含量与其C/N、C/P和N/P均具有一定的正相关关系。
