青藏铁路沿线温性草原区芨芨草(Achnatherum splendens)群落特征

芨芨草群落是青藏铁路沿线一类重要的温性草原植被类型，对青藏铁路两侧及其四周的水土保持起着非常重要的作用。对青藏铁路西格段海晏县附近的芨芨草草原的空间分布特征、物种丰富度和生物量等特征进行了分析。结果显示，研究地区芨芨草群落由芨芨草斑块和针茅斑块镶嵌而成，两类斑块的数量、大小和斑块间大小变化幅度等特征在空间上表现出一定的规律；芨芨草斑块大小在样线上所占的比例比针茅斑块为小，且有随远离铁路而减小的趋势，而物种丰富度则出现相反的变化趋势；芨芨草斑块的盖度和单位面积上地上生物量显著高于针茅斑块。斑块的大小和数量在一定程度上反应了芨芨草群落的退化状况。人为活动往往会加剧芨芨草群落的斑块片段化。针对芨芨草群落的特征和现状，建议加强对这些区域内人为活动的限制力度以减少对芨芨草群落的干扰。

The characteristics of Achnatherum splendens community along the Qinghai-Tibet railway

The Achnatherum splendens community is an important vegetation type of warm steppes along the Qinghai-Tibet railway. It plays a very important role in environmental protection in this area. The characteristics of A community near Haiyan County, paper. The results show that A. splendens patch and Stipa patch. pattern. Along the gradi species richness showed patches. The number an speed up the degradation sp/endens such as spatial distribution pattern, species richness and biomass, were examined in this splendens community in the study region is composed of two types of patches, i.e.A. The number and size of the two types of patches showed certain an interesting distributional ent away from the railway, the to an increasing trend. Coverage of ld size of patches may reflect the process of A. splendens community tal size of A. A. splendens degradation of ~ Based on the splendens patch showed a decreasing trend and patches was higher obviously than that of Stipa A. splendens community. Human activities can characteristics and present status of A. splendens community, we suggest that some measures be taken to control human activities for A. splendens community conservation in the study area.
