岷江干旱河谷造林对土壤微生物群落结构的影响

为了探讨不同造林时间和立地条件对土壤微生物群落结构的影响,采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFAs)法测定了岷江干旱河谷地区不同造林时间(2002、2006和2011年)及不同立地条件(退耕地和宜林荒山地)营建的岷江柏人工林土壤微生物生物量及群落结构的变化情况。结果表明:由于造林时间较短,不同造林时间的人工林间土壤化学性质没有差异,但土壤微生物生物量和各菌群生物量差异显著,且随着造林时间的增加而增加。不同立地条件下则表现为退耕还林地土壤微生物生物量和各菌群生物量较高。说明土壤微生物对外界因素变化的反映更灵敏。相关性分析结果显示土壤全氮含量与土壤微生物生物量及各菌群生物量显著相关,是影响土壤微生物群落结构的关键因素。

黄河故道不同灌水方式刺槐人工林幼树水分利用效率和生长特性

干旱一直是限制黄河故道沙区树木生长的重要因素之一,而刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia)以其较强的耐旱性、较高的成活率在造林时备受重视。适宜的灌水方式不但可以提高当地水资源的高效利用,而且可以促进刺槐迅速生长,改善当地环境生态。因此,在2011至2012年间,对黄河故道沙地进行刺槐人工林的建设与培育,开展滴灌(DI)、沟灌(FI)和软管喷灌(HSI)3种灌水方式对刺槐人工林幼树水分利用效率(WUE)和生长特性影响的研究。结果表明,在不同的水文年份,滴灌刺槐的净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)高于软管喷灌,软管喷灌高于沟灌。水分利用效率受年份影响较大,但均表现为前期下降,8月份前后降到最低值,随后缓慢回升。不同灌水方式叶绿素含量(CC)差异显著,滴灌条件下刺槐叶绿素含量最高,其次为软管喷灌,沟灌最低。不同树龄,不同灌水方式刺槐株高、地径和胸径差异显著。一年生林,滴灌刺槐的株高、地径和胸径分别比软管喷灌高出23.4、0.27 cm和0.14 cm;二年生林,滴灌刺槐的株高、地径和胸径分别比软管喷灌高53.7 cm、0.61 cm和0.54 cm。滴灌刺槐的株高、地径和胸径的年度生长量分别为软管喷灌的112.1%、107.1%和111.8%,同时分别为沟灌的121.8%、191.8%和343.6%。不同灌水方式刺槐幼树水分利用效率受年际间气象因素影响较大,滴灌可以显著地改善刺槐幼树的光合生理特性,促进其快速生长。

Allometric relationships for Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden plantations

Allometric relationships between stem, leaf area and crown dimensions were determined for Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden using 81 trees sampled from 13 post-canopy closure sites and 34 trees sampled from 6 pre-canopy closure sites. These sites differed in site quality, stand age, fertiliser treatment, stand density and levels of weed infestation. Overall, tree age ranged from 2 to 13 years, tree height from 1.4 to 26.1 m and diameter at breast height from 0.6 to 38.7 cm. Pre-canopy closure trees exhibited site-specific relationships which were to some extent confounded with tree age. However, post-canopy closure trees had relationships which were independent of site, age and silvicultural treatments. Strong relationships between structural components were found for both stem and crown. Stem diameter at breast height was non-linearly related to tree height and crown length. Stem sapwood area (breast height or crown base) could be predicted from stem cross-sectional area. For post-canopy closure trees, a functional relationship between sapwood area (breast height and crown base) and leaf area was site-independent. The lack of specificity in terms of both site and management techniques enables these relationships to be applied generally to E. nitens plantations in Tasmania.     

How do Araucaria angustifolia trees grow in overstocked stands?

The objective of this study was to evaluate growth along the stem of Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze trees competing in overstocked stands, in order to identify periods when growth and trunk shape are differentiated during the trees' lifespan. The research was carried out in a planted forest of Araucaria angustifolia established in 1946 in the Açungui National Forest in Campo Largo, Paraná, Brazil, when these trees were 65 years old. One thinning was recorded, at some time between 1970 and 1980. Forty-six trees were selected and divided into three development classes (DC) at 65 years of age; these classes considered diameter at 1.30 m (breast height, dbh) with a range of 20 cm (from 10 cm to 70 cm). In addition to dbh, total tree height, and crown height and diameter were measured in the field. From each tree, 14 disks were removed to analyze growth rings and confirm the age of the stand. Some trees in the smallest DC (10 ≤ dbh < 30 cm) were the product of natural regeneration (younger trees that grew after the initial planting). In 63% of the trees, at least one growth ring was missing at breast height. Missing rings at breast height were more common in trees with smaller dbh and crown diameters. The need for more growing space was observed at different periods during the studied lifespan of the trees from three DCs. It resulted in changes in stems shape from conical to cylindrical. Different growth patterns could be observed during the lives of some trees as they outgrew their competition.     

红松人工林优势木竞争指数影响因子

在温带湿润气候区东段不同立地条件下的红松人工林内设置面积为600 m~2(20 m×30 m)的70块矩形固定样地。在每个样地内,选取5颗最高且长势较好的优势木作为研究的对象木,用Voronoi图确定优势木相应的竞争木,测定每一块样地内优势木与竞争木之间的距离。采用Hegyi单木竞争指数模型,分析优势木在不同样地水平上的种内竞争强度,探讨林分生长因子、地形因子、土壤养分因子对优势木竞争指数的影响,并对这3类因子与优势木竞争指数进行相应的拟合和相关性分析。结果表明：红松人工林优势木竞争强度随着优势木胸径的增大而变小,并且两者之间的关系服从幂函数;红松优势木的竞争指数与其树高、胸径、冠幅呈极显著的相关关系(P<0.01);坡向、坡位、海拔对竞争指数影响极显著(P<0.01);红松人工林优势木竞争指数的大小与土壤氮磷钾含量均呈极显著的相关关系(P<0.01);pH值对优势木竞争指数的影响不显著。当红松人工林优势木平均胸径达到45cm,优势木平均树高和冠幅大于周围竞争木时,其对周围资源的利用程度增大,林木会发生自然稀疏现象,其所受的竞争压力减小。红松喜光性强,对水分的要求高,...     

Restoring degraded arid Mediterranean areas with exotic tree species: Influence of an age sequence of Acacia salicina on soil and vegetation dynamics

Acacia salicina Lindl. is an Australian leguminous tree widely planted outside its original distribution as a multi-purpose species, and successfully establishes on degraded areas. The objective of this study was to determine how an age sequence of 3, 5, 9 and 13-year-old A. salicina plantations affected soil properties and flora diversity of an arid Mediterranean steppe. Soil samples were taken from the upper 10 cm of soil under tree canopies and in the associated open spaces. The results showed that tree establishment and development enhanced soil contents of total C, total N, available P and exchangeable K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and Na⁺. These trends increased significantly with increasing plantation age. At the same time A. salicina facilitated the colonization and development of understory vegetation. Indeed, the number of plant species, the total plant cover, the perennial species density, the plant biomass and the diversity all attained higher values under tree canopies and increased with increasing plantation age. The soil dynamic under 13-year-old A. salicina plantations reflected two phases in the restoration sequence, characterized by nominal changes during tree establishment (0–5 years) and showing marked and rapid changes associated with the start of canopy closure (5–13 years). A. salicina establishment could be an effective and applicable measure to restore soil and vegetation and control desertification in the Mediterranean arid steppes.     

樟子松人工林一级枝条基径和枝长模型的研究

以东北林业大学帽儿山实验林场樟子松人工林为研究对象,采用枝解析的方法,于2002年、2003年测定了53株林木（年龄17~38 a,直径8.61~21.5 cm,树高7.48~18.24 m）的树冠变量,建立了基于总着枝深度（DINC）和树冠内一级枝条基径（BD）、枝长（BL）的预估模型。对于大小相同树木的一级枝条, 这些树冠变量随着DINC的增加而增大,而林木的胸径（DBH）、树高（HT）变量又很好地反映了不同大小树木的基径和枝长的变化。采用独立检验样本对构建的树冠内一级枝条基径和枝长模型进行了拟合统计量和精度检验,结果表明：模型预测效果良好,精度均达到95%以上。构建的一级枝条基径和枝长模型为进一步合理地描述樟子松人工林树冠的形状及其变化以及三维可视化经营提供依据。

Patterns and monitoring of Sesia apiformis infestations in poplar plantations at different spatial scales

Poplar plantations are expanding worldwide but little is known about the hornet clearwing moth, Sesia apiformis, one of their most severe pests. Thirty‐two poplar plantations of I‐214 clone were sampled in Spain, according to a factorial design combining stand age, site condition and understorey management to investigate the main drivers of S. apiformis habitat selection at both tree and stand level. In each plantation, one pheromone trap was activated during the flight season to test the correlation between captures and percentage of attacked trees. The proportion of other poplar forests in surrounding landscapes was calculated and used as a covariate in predictive models of trap catches. There were significantly more attacked trees in older stands. In young stands, the percentage of infested trees increased with the percentage cover of understorey vegetation. There was no significant effect of site quality on the rate of infestation and no difference in tree height, diameter or crown condition between attacked and un‐attacked trees within each stand, suggesting that S. apiformis could behave as primary pest. We hypothesized that the critical stage in the life cycle of the moth was the first instar larvae, which may benefit from protection of deep bark cracks in older stands and understorey vegetation in younger stands. We observed a positive correlation between trap capture and percentage of attacked trees in a radius of 100 m around the trap. The regression of trap catches against percentage of attacked trees was improved when the area of other poplar plantations within a distance of 600 m was incorporated in the model. This suggests that surrounding poplar stands may act as sources of immigrating moths in monitored stands. Our findings confirm that S. apiformis should be considered as a potential threat to poplar plantations and that pheromone trapping provides a suitable monitoring tool.     

不同密度格木幼林的土壤理化与林下植被特征

为探索适合格木(Erythrophleum fordii)人工林在幼龄阶段的种植密度,在不同林分密度(2 m×1 m、2 m×2 m、2 m×3 m、3 m×3 m)的6 a生格木人工林下设置标准样地,采用土壤质量评价和灰色关联度等方法,探究不同密度下格木幼林的土壤理化与林下植被特征。结果表明,密度2 m×3 m下的林木胸径、树高最优,较最低水平高16.7%、27.9%;土壤总孔隙度最大,全N、硝态N、铵态N含量最高,灌木草本多样性最高。相关性分析表明土壤化学性质对灌木草本的多样性影响最大。不同林分密度下格木幼林土壤理化性质及林下植物多样性有显著差异,因此,选择合适的林分密度对人工林土壤肥力的可持续利用及林分的经营培育至关重要。     

Foraging ecology of howler monkeys in a cacao (Theobroma cacao) plantation in Comalcalco, Mexico

Recent evidence indicates that primate populations may persist in neotropical fragmented landscapes by using arboreal agroecosystems, which may provide temporary habitats, increased areas of vegetation, and connectivity, among other benefits. However, limited data are available on how primates are able to sustain themselves in such manmade habitats. We report the results of a 9-month-long investigation of the feeding ecology of a troop of howler monkeys (n = 24) that have lived for the past 25 years in a 12-ha cacao plantation in the lowlands of Tabasco, Mexico. A vegetation census indicated the presence of 630 trees (> or =20 cm diameter at breast height (DBH)) of 32 shade species in the plantation. The howlers used 16 plant species (13 of which were trees) as sources of leaves, fruits, and flowers. Five shade tree species (Ficus cotinifolia, Pithecellobium saman, Gliricidia sepium, F. obtusifolia, and Ficus sp.) accounted for slightly over 80% of the total feeding time and 78% of the total number trees (n = 139) used by the howlers, and were consistently used by the howlers from month to month. The howlers spent an average of 51% of their monthly feeding time exploiting young leaves, 29% exploiting mature fruit, and 20% exploiting flowers and other plant items. Monthly consumption of young leaves varied from 23% to 67%, and monthly consumption of ripe fruit varied from 12% to 64%. Differences in the protein-to-fiber ratio of young vs. mature leaves influenced diet selection by the monkeys. The howlers used 8.3 ha of the plantation area, and on average traveled 388 m per day in each month. The howlers preferred tree species whose contribution to the total tree biomass and density was above average for the shade-tree population in the plantation. Given the right conditions of management and protection, shaded arboreal plantations in fragmented landscapes can sustain segments of howler monkey populations for many decades.
