关于华南的热带与亚热带分界线问题

关于华南的热带与亚热带的分界线问题,地理学工作者和植物学工作者都发表过一些文章,从各个角度进行讨论。华南的地植物学工作者多赞成以雷州半岛北部作为华南热带与亚热带的分界线,把广东大陆的亚热带分为两个亚带,即华南南亚热带常绿季雨林亚带和南岭山地中亚热带常绿阔叶林亚带。侯宽昭、徐祥浩(1955年)首先从地植物学角度提出,华南的热带与亚热带的分     

粤西南亚热带森林演替过程中的生物量与净第一性生产力动态

以粤西黑石顶自然保护区为对象,探讨了南亚热带森林群落演替系列上3个主要演替阶段的代表类型：针叶林(马尾松群落)、针阔混交林(马尾松+吊皮椎+木荷+枫香群落)、南亚热带常绿阔叶林(粘木+小叶胭脂+光叶红豆+黄果厚壳桂群落)的生物量和净第一性生产力及其分配规律。结果表明,针叶林生物量为246．697t·hm^-2,净第一性生产力为14．715t·hm^-2·yr^-1;针阔混交林生物量为287．367t·hm^-2,净第一性生产力为17．179t·hm^-2·yr^-1;常绿阔叶林生物量为357．976t·hm^-2,净第一性生产力为18．730t·hm^-2·yr^-1,可见黑石顶自然保护区南亚热带3种森林群落的发展阶段已比较接近,即针叶林、针阔混交林较为成熟,常绿阔叶林相对年轻,在不受或低度外界干扰的情况下,随着森林群落的正向演替,其生物量和净第一性生产力均呈增加趋势。     

滇池湖滨带种子植物物种组成与地理成分分析

研究湖滨带植物物种组成及地理分布特征,可以为湖滨带植物地理学、外来物种入侵、人工群落构建、生态恢复与重建等提供科学依据。通过野外实地调查和室内植物标本鉴定与文献资料整理相结合的方法,对滇池湖滨带种子植物的物种组成、多样性和地理成分进行了研究。结果表明:滇池湖滨带种子植物共计124科371属553种,其中云南本土植物370种,外来植物183种。滇池湖滨带种子植物中含10种以上优势科有11科,主要以禾本科、菊科、蔷薇科、唇形科、蝶形花科等草本科为主。科、属组成主要集中在含1~10种的科和含1~5种的属内,表明滇池湖滨带具有较丰富的种子植物多样性。滇池湖滨带植物地理分布较复杂,科的分布以热带分布型(47科)为主,属的分布以热带分布型(151属)与温带分布型(165属)为主,具有由热带分布型向温带分布型过渡的属性。入侵植物共27种,主要来自于热带、亚热带地区(6科/12属)。基于上述调查结果,提出了对滇池湖滨带植被修复与重建工作的建议。     

Effects of biodiversity,stand factors and functional identity on biomass and productivity during the restoration of subtropical forests in Central China

恢复梯度上华中亚热带森林生物多样性、林分因子及功能特性对生物量、生产力的影响 草地群落上进行的控制实验大都发现生物多样性对生态系统功能有显著促进作用。然而,在天然林中,多样性与林分因子、群落功能特性的相对作用大小仍存在争议。本文在森林恢复梯度上,研究这3类因素对生物量和生产力的相对影响。我们在湖北神农架设置了处于不同恢复阶段的24块(600 m²)亚热 带森林样地,计算了林分生物量和生产力。选择5个关键的植物功能性状,并计算了群落的功能多样性(功能丰富度、功能均匀度和功能离散度)和性状的加权平均值(CWM)。使用一般线性模型(GLMs)、变异分离等方法探究林分因子(密度、林龄、群落最大树高等)、功能特性、物种和功能多样性对生物量和生产力的相对重要性。研究结果表明,随着森林恢复,林分生物量和生产力显著增加,群落物种丰富度显著增加,而功能离散度显著降低。变异分离结果表明,多样性对生物量和生产力的单独效应不显著,但可能通过与林分因子和功能特性的协同效应来影响生物量和生产力。总体而言,我们发现林分因子对亚热带森林生物量和生产力的影响最大,功能特性显著影响生产力,但不影响生物量。这些结果说明,在森林经营中,调整林分结构和群落物种特性是提高森林碳储量和固碳潜力的有效途径。     

温州天河潮间带大型底栖动物的次级生产力

2009年7月-2010年5月分4个季度对温州天河潮间带大型底栖动物进行取样调查,利用生物量、能量和Brey的经验公式计算了潮间带大型底栖动物次级生产力.结果表明:整个研究区域大型底栖动物生物量平均值为(7.2264±0.8766) g·m-2,能量平均值为(44360±4373)J·m-2,年平均去灰生物量为(6.51±0.79)g(AFDW)·m-2,年平均生产力为(7.71±0.96)g(AFDW)·m-2·a-1和年平均P/B值为(1.18±0.07);其中以中潮带的次级生产力最高,高潮带次之,低潮带最低;随着潮间带季节变迁,生物量和能量在高潮带和低潮带上变化规律一致,而中潮带季节变化不一致.分析表明:季节和潮区是影响潮间带大型底栖动物次级生产力时空变异的2个最重要因素;由于这2个因素的单独和交互作用,使得温州天河潮间带大型底栖动物次级生产力变化既有一定的规律,又呈现出变化程度不一致的复杂格局.     

黄土高原地区植物气候生产力

一、前言植物气候生产力系指在一定气候条件下,每年在单位面积土地上可能生产的有机干物质,它相当于植物的净生产量(NEP),即植物通过光合作用形成的粗生产量(GPP)减去呼吸作用消耗量(Ra)和枯枝落叶量(Rn)后的生物量。     

江苏兴化大垛DI-2井兰多维列期胞石*

前言江苏志留系的研究可以追溯到二十年代(Grabau,1924)。1934年许杰建立了下志留统的二个笔石带:Akidograptus ascensus 带和Pristiograptus leei 带。1955年穆恩之等又增补了 Orthograptus vesiculosus 带和 PristiograptusCyphus 带。1985年张全忠和焦世鼎又找到了笔石 Hunandendrum typicum Mu et al.。1986年朱兆玲等补充了以下笔石带:Demirastritestriangulatus 带和 Monoclimacis arcuata 带。倪寓南(1978)认为,Monoclimacis arcuata 的层位相当于 Monograptus sedgwickii 带。按照张全忠和焦世鼎的意见,Hunanodendrum typicum的层位相当于 Monoclimacis griestoniensis 带。由此可见,江苏下志留统内存在 Spirograptus turri-culatus 带至 Streptograptus crispus 带的地层是毋庸置疑的,惜无此二带本身的化石证据。本     

印度Mahanadi盆地井下二叠纪下冈瓦纳岩层的微体植物化石组合

Mahanadi河盆地的冈瓦纳型诸盆地位于印度的近中心地区,呈北西—东南走向分布。Mahanadi主要盆地内的几个重要煤田为Korda煤田,Mand—Raigarh煤田和Ib河煤田。Korda煤田的冈瓦纳系沉积向南东向延伸,经Mand—Raigarh煤田延续至Ib河煤田。Korda和Ib河两个煤田储量巨大,且长期来有小构造活动;而Mand—Raigarh煤田至今很少受到重视,勘探开发晚得多。文中首次对Mand-Raigarh煤田5个钻孔样品作了孢粉研究,以初现面、相对丰度等为特征,划分出7个孢粉组合带,时代从二叠纪最早期(Talchir组)至二叠纪末期(Raniga由组)。填补了东西两个煤田之间的生物地层研究空白。7个孢粉组合带为：i)Parasaccites-Plicatipollenites assemblage zone(相当于Talchir组）,ii)Sulcatisporites-Brevitriletes assemblage zone(相当于下Barakar组）,iii)Sulcatisporites-Rhizomaspora assemblage zone(少量Densipollenites存在说明其相当于上Barakar组）,iv)Densipollenites-Striatopodocarpites assemblage zone(相当于Barren Measures组）,v)Striatopodocarpites-Densipollenites assemblage zone(相当于下Raniganj组）,vi)Striatopodocarpites-Densipollenites-Sulcatisporites assemblage zone(相当于上Raniganj组）vii)Sriatopodocarpites-Alisporites assemblage zone(相当于Raniganj最上部到Kamthi组最下部）,Raniganj组沉积中见到小的皱缩裂隙、植物垂直根和根的印痕,似代表古土壤。     

宁夏中卫晚石炭世维斯发期孢粉组合

我国石炭系达拉阶标准剖面的牙形刺

本文详细地研究了石炭系达拉阶标准(或层型)剖面,即贵州盘县达拉寨剖面的牙形刺。在标准剖面达拉阶上部,即相当于先前的有孔虫Fusulinella—Fusulina带的层位,产牙形刺Idiognathodus podolskensis,I．delicatus,I．magnificus,I．obliquus,I．claviformis,Streptognathodus cancellosus和S．parvus等,并自下而上可划分为Idiognathodus podolskensis带和Streptognathodus cancellosus带,前者相当于有孔虫Fusulina pakhrensis-Pseudostaffella paradoxa带下部及Fusulina lanceolata-Fusulinella uozhgalensis带,后者则与Fusulina pakhrensis Pseudostaffella paradoxa带上部和Fusulina cylindrica-F．quasifusulinoides带相当,并可与东欧的莫斯科阶(Moscovian)上部对比。标准剖面达拉阶下部,即相当于有孔虫Profusulinella带的层位未见牙形刺化石,但根据贵州罗甸纳水剖面的资料,有孔虫Profusulinella带之底在牙形刺Diiplognathodus ophanus-D．ellesmerensis带之中通过,因此在罗甸纳水剖面,达拉阶之底比莫斯科阶之底要稍高些。纳水剖面的有孔虫来自台地垮塌的沉积,这类沉积物是不连续的,因此其有孔虫带与牙形刺带的关系并不十分可靠。但总的来看,我国的达拉阶仍大致可与莫斯科阶相对比。

Rapid expansion of lichen woodlands within the closed-crown boreal forest zone over the last 50 years caused by stand disturbances in eastern Canada

Aim Our two main goals are first to evaluate the resilience of the boreal forest according to latitude across the closed‐crown forest zone using the post‐disturbance distribution and cover of lichen woodlands and closed‐crown forests as a metric, and second to identify the disturbance factors responsible for the regeneration and degradation of the closed‐crown forest according to latitude since the 1950s. Location The study area extends between 70°00′ and 72°00′ W and throughout the closed‐crown forest zone, from its southern limit near 47°30′ N to its northern limit at the contact with the lichen woodland zone at around 52°40′ N. Methods Recent (1972–2002) and old (1954–1956) aerial photos were used to map the distribution of lichen woodlands across the closed‐crown forest zone. Forest disturbances such as fire, spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens)) outbreak, and logging were recorded on each set of aerial photos. Each lichen woodland and stand disturbance was validated by air‐borne surveys and digitized using GIS software. Results Over the last 50 years, the area occupied by lichen woodlands has increased according to latitude; that is, 9% of the area that was occupied by closed‐crown forests has shifted to lichen woodlands. Although logging activities have been concentrated in the same areas during the last 50 years, the area covered by logging has increased significantly. Outbreaks by the spruce budworm occurred predominantly in the southern (47°30′ N to 48°30′ N) and central (48°53′ N to 50°42′ N) parts of the study area, where balsam fir stands are extensive. In the northern part of the study area (51°–52°40′ N), extensive fires affected the distribution and cover of closed‐crown forests and lichen woodlands. Main conclusions Over the last 50 years, the area occupied by closed‐crown forests has decreased dramatically, and the ecological conditions that allow closed‐crown forests to establish and develop are currently less prevalent. Fire is by far the main disturbance, reducing the ability of natural closed‐crown forests to self‐regenerate whatever the latitude. Given the current biogeographical shift from dense to open forests, the northern part of the closed‐crown forest zone is in a process of dramatic change towards the dominance of northern woodlands.     

Biomass structure and dry matter dynamics of subtropical alluvial and exotic Ligustrum forests at the Río de la Plata,Argentina

Biomass, litterfall, litter standing crop, and decomposition was studied in a native subtropical alluvial forest locally known as Selva Marginal (SM) and an exotic Ligustrum lucidum forest (LF) at the Reserva Integral de Punta Lara, Buenos Aires Province, 34°47S and 58°1W. The alluvial forest site was at the southern limit of distribution of subtropical forests in South America. The Ligustrum forest was invading disturbed areas. Total biomass was 147.7 Mg/ha (86% aboveground and 14% belowground) in the SM, and 71.4 Mg/ha (93% and 7%, respectively) in the LF. Litterfall was 10.3 Mg/ha·yr and 13.8 Mg/ha·yr respectively. Annual leaf decomposition rate was greater for Ligustrum (k=4.07) than for SM species (k=1.48). The mean residence time of aboveground biomass was 12 yr for the SM and 5 yr for the LF. The k₁ values (litterfall/standing crop) were 1.9 and 2.0 for SM and LF respectively. The influence of coastal road and wall in the hydroperiod, native forested wetland ecosystem survival and exotic forest invasion is discussed.     

Variation in net primary productivity and biomass of forests in the high mountains of Central Himalaya

Abstract. This study describes the biomass and net primary productivity of the forests of Central Himalaya occurring in areas where vegetation ranges from close-canopy broad-leaved forest to stunted open-canopy timberline vegetation. The forests studied were Acer cappadocicum forest at 2750 m, Betula utilis forest at 3150 m, and Rhododendron campanulatum forest at 3300 m altitude in Central Himalaya. With the rise in altitude the forest biomass decreased from 308.3 ton/ha in Acer forest to 40.5 ton/ha in Rhododendron forest. The decrease in net primary productivity was less steep, from 19.6 ton/ha/yr in Acer forest to 10.0 ton/ha/yr in Rhododendron forest. The production efficiency of leaves (net production per unit leaf weight) in these forests is higher than in low altitude broad-leaved forests of Central Himalaya, i.e. from 2.89 in Acer forest to 3.41 g net production/g leaf biomass/yr, against 0.81-1.55 at lower altitudes.     

The Quantity and Turnover of Dead Wood in Permanent Forest Plots in Six Life Zones of Venezuela1

Dead wood can be an important component of the carbon pool in many forests, but few measurements have been made of this pool in tropical forests, To fill this gap, we determined the quantity of dead wood (downed and standing dead) in 25 long-term (up to 30 yr) permanent forest plots located in six different life zones of Venezuela. Downed wood was separated into fine (< 10 cm in diameter) and coarse (≥ 10 cm in diameter) classes, and three decomposition states (sound, intermediate, or rotten). The total quantity of dead wood, averaged by life zone, was lowest in the dry (2.43 Mg/ha), reached a peak in the moist (42.33 Mg/ha) and decreased slightly in the wet (34.50 Mg/ha) life zone. Most of the dead wood was in the standing dead category (about 42–76% of the total). The decomposition state of dead wood in all plots was mostly rotten (45%) or intermediate (44%); there was little sound wood (11%). Turnover rates of dead wood generally ranged between 0.03/yr to 0.52/yr with no clear trend with life zone. The large amount of dead wood in some plots was equivalent to about 20 percent or less of aboveground biomass, indicating that dead wood can represent a significant amount of carbon in these forests.     

Movements and Resource Selection of Fledgling Goshawks in Montane Forests of Southeastern British Columbia

ABSTRACT The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) has been the subject of considerable interest because of the impact of logging on this species' nesting habitat. However, few studies have examined movements of fledgling birds around the nest prior to independence, and even fewer have described resource requirements of young birds during their postfledging period. Over 3 years, we followed 31 radiotagged goshawk fledglings from 15 nests in southeastern British Columbia, Canada. Of these birds, 26 survived to disperse. Between fledging and dispersal 95% of fledgling relocations (n = 1, 148) were within 450 m of the nest. Fledglings primarily remained within 298 m of the nest during the first 21 days postfledging and within 525 m of the nest between 21 days postfledging and dispersal. Fledglings' movements were highly directional, with individual and sibling movements away from any particular nest tending out in one direction. Postfledging areas averaged 36.7 ha in size (median = 23.1, inter-quartile range = 20.8–39.7 ha). Fledglings strongly avoided forest <40 years old and weakly selected young forests (40–80 yr), mature forests (>80 yr), and stands with >40% canopy cover during the first 21 days and after. We suggest forest managers wishing to conserve goshawk postfledging areas in the interior montane forests of British Columbia maintain forests >40 years old with high crown closure covering an area ≥21 ha and preferably >40 ha. This area should contain all identified occupied and alternative nest trees in a nest area. At least half this area should be forest >80 years old and contain existing nests and potential for future nest trees.     

Origin of the lichen–spruce woodland in the closed-crown forest zone of eastern Canada

Aim We investigate the timing and factors responsible for the transformation of closed‐crown forests into lichen–spruce woodlands. Location The study area extends between 70° and 72° W in the closed‐crown forest zone from its southern limit near 47°30′ N to its northern limit at the contact with the lichen–spruce woodland zone around 52°10′ N. A total of 24 lichen–spruce woodlands were selected. Methods Radiocarbon dating of charcoals at mineral soil contact and within the organic horizons allowed the principal factors causing the degradation of the closed‐crown forest to be identified, i.e. light fires, successive fires and the occurrence of a spruce budworm epidemic followed by a fire. Results Charcoals dated in the organic horizon were less than 200 years old, suggesting a recent transformation of the closed‐crown forest following surface fires. Before their transformation into lichen–spruce woodlands, stands were occupied by old, dense forests that originated from fires dating back to 1000 yr bp . The radiocarbon dating of charcoals in the organic horizon indicated that several stands burned twice in less than 50 years, while others burned shortly after a spruce budworm epidemic. Light fires are frequent within the lichen–spruce woodlands according to multiple charcoal layers found within the organic matter horizon. Main conclusions While closed‐crown forests are predicted to expand under climate warming, compound disturbances diminish the natural regeneration of the closed‐crown forests in the south and favour the expansion of lichen–spruce woodlands. As black spruce germinates on mineral soils, surface fires accentuate the expansion of the lichen–spruce woodlands southward. Under global warming, warmer springs will lead to earlier low‐intensity fires that do not remove as much organic matter, and hence prevent conditions suitable for black spruce regeneration. Also, spruce budworm reduces seed production for a certain time. The occurrence of fire during this period is critical for regeneration of black spruce.     

Tree Regeneration and Species Diversity Following Conventional and Uniform Spacing Methods of Selective Cutting in a Subtropical Humid Forest Reserve1

There are a variety of ways to diminish the negative impacts of forest management for timber on biodiversity. A pilot project using a uniform spacing method of selective cutting was recently implemented in the 5340 ha Guarani Reserve, Misiones, Argentina, to design adequate management schemes for the subtropical forests of the region. Uniform spacing involves moderate timber harvesting and careful selection of remnant trees. In this article we compare tree regeneration in forests experimentally cut by diameter limit and uniform spacing methods. Seedlings of five size classes from 10 cm to 3 m in height were sampled using rectangular nested plots. Three years after cutting, an average of 54,330 and 22,270 seedling/ha (all height classes combined) of commercial and non-commercial species were found in the forest cut by uniform spacing and by minimum diameter, respectively. In an adjacent uncut forest there were 34,900 seedlings/ha, and in another forest cut by minimum diameters 30 years ago there were 50,000 seedlings/ha, The forest cut by uniform spacing had the highest number of commercial seedlings/ha, with three times as many as the forest cut by minimum diameter three years ago and twice as many as the forest treated by minimum diameters 30 years ago. The forest cut by uniform spacing and the forest treated by minimum diameters 30 years ago had the highest diversity of understory plants other than trees, as well as heterogeneous canopy cover, while the other two forests had a predominance of bamboo in the understory and more open canopy conditions. Although lack of site replication limits interpretation of the results, these early findings suggest that the uniform spacing method can be an ecologically sound forest management option for the region.
