喀斯特峰丛洼地土壤矿物质的组成特征与作用 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
基于喀斯特峰丛洼地农作区、人工林、次生林、原生林4类典型生态系统动态监测样地(200 m×40 m)土壤矿质养分因子(7个)、植被(9个)、地形(4个)、土壤理化性状(10个)共计30个指标的全面调查取样分析,采用经典统计分析、主成分分析和典范相关分析探讨了土壤矿物质的组成特征、作用以及与植被、地形、其他土壤性状的耦合关系.结果表明: 喀斯特峰丛洼地土壤矿物质组成以SiO2、Al2O3、K2O、Fe2O3为主,明显低于全球土壤平均背景值和同区域地带性红壤,CaO、MgO含量居中,MnO含量很低;不同生态系统土壤矿物质组成和变异不同,土壤的发育程度也不同,植被和土壤的原生性呈同比正相关,均有潜在的石漠化风险;4类生态系统景观异质性高,主成分分析的降维效果不好,土壤矿物质均为各生态系统的主要影响因子,且与植被、地形、其他土壤性状的关系非常密切,特别是SiO2、CaO和MnO,其中对植被的影响主要是物种多样性,对土壤则为有机质、全氮、全钾等主要养分.土壤矿物质是影响喀斯特峰丛洼地土壤肥力和植物生长发育的限制因子之一,有效利用矿物质资源、合理施用矿质养分对喀斯特退化生态系统的恢复与重建作用重大. 相似文献

为探讨青藏高原高寒草甸对短期禁牧的响应,设置冬季自由放牧和短期(2年)禁牧的对比试验。采用随机样方法调查植被群落盖度,分析地上和地下生物量、根冠比、植被地上和地下部分以及表层(0-10cm)土壤全碳、全氮和全磷含量、生态化学计量以及营养元素的关联性。研究结果显示:1)短期禁牧显著改变高寒草甸植被盖度、地上生物量、根冠比、植被全磷含量和N∶P,以及土壤全磷含量。2)相关性分析表明,禁牧后土壤全碳含量与植被地上全碳含量呈显著相关性,自由放牧后土壤全碳和全氮含量分别与植被地下部分全碳和全氮含量呈显著相关性。结果表明,不同的草原管理措施(禁牧、放牧)会改变高寒草甸植被与土壤养分分配及其平衡关系,同时,植被与表层土壤主要养分含量之间的关联性仅存在于部分植物器官与部分营养元素之间。 相似文献

凋落物和林下植被对杉木林土壤碳氮水解酶活性的影响机制 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
凋落物和林下植被在森林生态系统土壤碳、氮循环过程中发挥重要作用,目前关于亚热带杉木人工林凋落物和林下植被对土壤碳氮水解酶活性影响机制还不清楚。在亚热带杉木人工林设立去除凋落物+去除林下植被(LR+UR)、去除凋落物+保留林下植被(LR+U)、凋落物加倍+保留林下植被(LD+U)、凋落物加倍+割倒林下植被归还(LD+UC)处理。通过研究各处理对土壤环境因子(土壤温度(ST)、土壤含水量(SWC)、土壤酸度(p H)、硝态氮(NO_3~--N)、氨态氮(NH_4~+-N)、溶解性有机碳(DOC))和土壤碳氮水解酶(β-1,4-葡萄糖苷酶(βG)和β-1,4-N-乙酰葡糖氨糖苷酶(NAG))活性的影响,揭示凋落物和林下植被对杉木林土壤碳氮水解酶活性影响机制。结果表明:(1)通过比较LR+U和LD+U处理发现,短期内添加凋落物有增加土壤p H、NH+4-N含量和提高βG、NAG活性的趋势,但未达到显著水平(P0.05);(2)LR+UR与LR+U处理间的比较发现,去除林下植被有降低SWC、p H、NH+4-N含量、NAG活性的趋势,并显著降低了土壤DOC含量和βG活性(P0.05);(3)将LR+UR分别与LD+U、LD+UC处理进行比较表明,添加凋落物同时保留林下植被显著增加了SWC、p H、DOC和NH+4-N含量,并增强了βG和NAG活性(P0.05),而且林下植被割倒归还比林下植被正常生长更有利于土壤βG、NAG活性的提高和SWC、DOC含量的增加,但是对ST和NO-3-N含量没有显著影响(P0.05);(4)土壤水解酶活性与SWC、DOC表现为极显著正相关关系(P0.01)。总之,凋落物和林下植被影响碳氮水解酶活性的机制,主要是通过调节SWC、增加DOC含量,影响βG、NAG活性;βG、NAG活性增强也会加快土壤有机质(SOM)分解,增加土壤DOC含量。 相似文献

微生境因子对苔藓结皮的物种分布和发育有重要调控作用。为探明其作用途径和影响程度,以黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错区的苔藓结皮为研究对象,通过样线法调查了8种微生境中苔藓结皮的物种分布和发育特征,结合结构方程模型剖析了植物冠层覆盖、坡向和坡度对苔藓多样性和苔藓结皮发育的影响途径并量化了其影响系数。结果表明: 1)与无冠层相比,冠层覆盖使苔藓的Patrick、Shannon、Pielou和Simpson指数分别降低了63.4%、66.6%、91.0%和68.3%,但使苔藓结皮的厚度、生物量和叶绿素含量分别提高了0.5、0.2和1.3倍;2)北坡样地的4种苔藓物种多样性指数较南坡分别提高了0.6、0.9、5.6和0.9倍,而3种苔藓结皮发育指标分别提高了0.3、0.3和0.6倍;3)坡度从14°增加到34°,4种苔藓多样性指数分别降低了59.8%、84.1%、57.3%和68.0%,而3种苔藓结皮发育指标分别降低了15.2%、25.0%和16.5%;4)3种微生境因子对苔藓多样性和苔藓结皮发育的影响程度为冠层覆盖>坡向>坡度,其主要影响途径因微生境因子不同而存在差异。综上,植物冠层覆盖、坡度和坡向分异通过直接和间接途径显著影响了苔藓的物种分布和苔藓结皮发育,因此,在利用苔藓结皮进行荒漠化治理时应充分考虑微生境条件。 相似文献

为探究生态恢复方式对苔藓植物的影响,研究了自然弃耕和退耕还林等生态恢复方式对重庆市中梁山喀斯特地区不同生境类型下苔藓植物物种组成特征的影响。结果表明,研究区有苔藓植物15科26属41种,其中藓类39种,苔类2种,美灰藓(Eurohypnum leptothollum)为主要优势物种;研究区石生藓类植物占比较大,生活型以平铺型和丛集型为主,各生境物种多样性及相似性指数整体偏低,但相比弃耕杂草地、灌木林和经济型林地,竹林和马尾松林中苔藓植物具有更高的物种多样性;冗余分析表明,郁闭度和光照强度是影响苔藓植物分布的关键环境因子,乔木林为苔藓植物的生长提供了更适宜的生境。因此,相比于自然恢复和经济性林地等恢复方式,退耕还林是喀斯特退化生境更为理想的生态恢复方式。 相似文献

Bryophyte colonisation in experimental microcosms: the role of nutrients, defoliation and vascular vegetation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A three-year multi-factorial microcosm experiment simulating fertilisation, defoliation and the composition of vascular vegetation in a dry grassland succession was used to test four hypotheses concerning the establishment and survival of bryophytes in grassland vegetation. H1 : bryophyte cover may be used to predict bryophyte species richness. H2 : bryophyte richness is suppressed at high nutrient levels and promoted by defoliation of vascular plants. H3 : species richness of bryophytes is influenced by the species composition of the vascular vegetation. H4 : bryophyte species richness is negatively correlated with vascular plant biomass.
The relationship between bryophyte richness and bryophyte cover was found to follow the classical species-area richness curve. Bryophyte species richness responded positively to defoliation and negatively to fertilisation. The species composition of vascular vegetation had no significant effect on bryophyte richness. Bryophyte species richness was lower at high vascular plant biomass and vascular plant dry weight above 400 g m−2 appeared fatal to bryophytes. At high nutrient levels, defoliation increased bryophyte richness, but defoliation did not fully compensate for the negative effect of fertilisation. The study reinforces the concern for short lived shuttle bryophytes in the agricultural landscape. 相似文献

Recent studies have described a new tropical lowland forest type in the Guianas, the tropical lowland cloud forest. It is characterized by an enriched epiphytic species diversity particularly for bryophytes compared to common lowland rainforest, and is facilitated by frequent early morning fog events in valley locations. While the increase in epiphytic species diversity in lowland cloud forests has been documented, uncertainties remain as to (1) how this small scale variation in water supply is shaping the functional diversity of epiphytic components in lowland forests, and (2) whether information on functional group composition of epiphytes might aid in discerning these cloud forests from the common lowland rainforest. We compare the distribution of functional groups of epiphytes across height zones in lowland cloud forest and lowland rain forest of French Guiana in terms of biomass, cover as well as the composition of bryophyte life-forms. Both forests differed in functional composition of epiphytes in the canopy, in particular in the mid and outer canopy, with the cloud forest having a higher biomass and cover of bryophytes and vascular epiphytes as well as a richer bryophyte life-form composition. Bryophyte life-forms characteristic for cloud forests such as tail, weft and pendants were almost lacking in the canopies of common rain forest whereas they were frequent in lowland cloud forests. We suggest that ground-based evaluation of bryophyte life-form composition is a straightforward approach for identifying lowland cloud forest areas for conservation, which represent biodiversity hotspots in tropical lowland forests. 相似文献

The mechanisms that ultimately regulate the diversity of microbial eukaryotic communities in bryophyte ecosystems remain a contentious topic in microbial ecology. Although there is robust consensus that abiotic factors, such as water chemistry of the bryophyte and pH, explain a significant proportion of protist and microcrustacean diversity, there is no systematic assessment of the role of bryophyte habitat complexity on such prominent microbial groups. Water-holding capacity is correlated with bryophyte morphology and canopy structure. Similarly, canopy structure explains biodiversity dynamics of the macrobiota suggesting that canopy structure may also be a potential parameter for understanding microbial diversity. Canopy roughness of the dominant bryophyte species within the Bahoruco Cloud Forest, Cachote, Dominican Republic, concomitant with their associated diversity of testate amoebae and microcrustaceans was estimated to determine whether canopy structure could be added to the list of factors explaining microbial biodiversity in bryophytes. We hypothesized that smooth (with high moisture content) canopies will have higher species richness, density, and biomass of testate amoebae and higher richness and density of microcrustaceans than rough (desiccation-prone) canopies. For testate amoebae, we found 83 morphospecies with relative low abundances. Species richness and density differed among bryophytes with different bryophyte canopy structures and based on non-metric multidimensional scaling, canopy roughness explained 25% of the variation in species composition although not as predicted. Acroporium pungens (low roughness, LR) had the lowest species richness (2 ± 0.61 SD per gram dry weight bryophyte), and density (2.1 ± 0.61 SD individual per gram of dry weight bryophyte); whereas Thuidium urceolatum (high roughness) had the highest richness (24 ± 10.82 SD) and density (94 ± 64.30 SD). The fact that the bryophyte with the highest roughness had the highest levels of diversity for testate amoebae suggests that moisture levels at the level of the bryophyte canopy may not represent a biodiversity driver in a cloud forest with high relative humidity; however, high roughness could generate a dynamic and fluctuating moisture environment with concomitant alternating microbial communities. A total of 26 microcrustacean morphospecies were found across 11 bryophytes; however, no bryophyte canopy effect was detected on their richness and density. Microcrustacean mean density was low ranging from less than one individual per 50 cm2 of bryophyte in Leucobryum (LR) to a maximum of 6 ± 3.37 SD individuals/50 cm2 in Monoclea (LR). This lack of pattern suggests that possible explanatory variables may be related to larger scale processes than those examined in this study. 相似文献

Bryophyte Species Richness and Composition along an Altitudinal Gradient in Gongga Mountain,China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An investigation of terrestrial bryophyte species diversity and community structure along an altitudinal gradient from 2,001 to 4,221 m a.s.l. in Gongga Mountain in Sichuan, China was carried out in June 2010. Factors which might affect bryophyte species composition and diversity, including climate, elevation, slope, depth of litter, vegetation type, soil pH and soil Eh, were examined to understand the altitudinal feature of bryophyte distribution. A total of 14 representative elevations were chosen along an altitudinal gradient, with study sites at each elevation chosen according to habitat type (forests, grasslands) and accessibility. At each elevation, three 100 m × 2 m transects that are 50 m apart were set along the contour line, and three 50 cm × 50 cm quadrats were set along each transect at an interval of 30 m. Species diversity, cover, biomass, and thickness of terrestrial bryophytes were examined. A total of 165 species, including 42 liverworts and 123 mosses, are recorded in Gongga mountain. Ground bryophyte species richness does not show any clear elevation trend. The terrestrial bryophyte cover increases with elevation. The terrestrial bryophyte biomass and thickness display a clear humped relationship with the elevation, with the maximum around 3,758 m. At this altitude, biomass is 700.3 g m−2 and the maximum thickness is 8 cm. Bryophyte distribution is primarily associated with the depth of litter, the air temperature and the precipitation. Further studies are necessary to include other epiphytes types and vascular vegetation in a larger altitudinal range. 相似文献

喀斯特石漠化区典型生境下石生苔藓的固土持水作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
为探究喀斯特石漠化区典型生境下石生苔藓植物的固土持水能力及影响因素,在其石生苔藓分布和形态特征基础上,深入探讨了不同生境下石生苔藓的固土持水效应。结果表明:(1)生境对石生苔藓植物的固土持水能力影响显著。草地中的宽叶真藓(Bryum funkii)固土量最高,为8.85×103 kg/hm2,裸地中的美灰藓(Eurohypnum leptothallum)持水量最高,其最高持水量是自身干重的14倍。石生苔藓植物在裸地和草地中表现出较高的固土率,而在乔木林与草地下具有较好的持水率。(2)苔藓类型对固土持水能力存在显著性的影响。4种石生苔藓植物的固土率高低为宽叶真藓>尖叶对齿藓原变种(Didymodon constrictus var.constrictus)>卷叶湿地藓(Hyophila involuta)>美灰藓,且差异显著;4种苔藓植物的持水率强弱为美灰藓>宽叶真藓>卷叶湿地藓>尖叶对齿藓原变种。(3)石生苔藓植物的固土持水能力受自身功能性状和立地环境的综合影响,苔藓植物的固土率与干重存在显著的正相关关系,其持水量与干重和生物量间具有显著的正相关关系。综上,从固土持水和生态修复的角度出发,应加强裸地和草地两种生境的石漠化治理力度;可考虑将宽叶真藓和美灰藓作为喀斯特岩面生态恢复的先锋苔藓,其能有效解决喀斯特区石漠化大面积基岩裸露问题,提高喀斯特区水土保持效益。 相似文献

Symbiotic cyanobacteria??bryophyte associations on the forest floor are shown to contribute significantly to stand-level nitrogen budgets through the process of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), but few studies have considered the role of canopy bryophytes. Given the high biomass of epiphytic bryophytes in many tree species of the North American temperate rain forest, we suggest that canopy bryophytes may contribute substantially to stand-level N dynamics. We confirm the presence of cyanobacteria and measure rates of BNF at three heights (0, 15 and 30 m) in Sitka spruce trees across three watershed estuaries of Clayoquot Sound, British Columbia, Canada. This study is the first to report BNF by cyanobacteria associated with epiphytic and forest floor bryophytes in the coastal temperate rain forest of North America. Cyanobacteria density was significantly greater in epiphytic bryophytes compared to mosses on the forest floor, and rates of BNF were highest at 30 m in the canopy. The majority of total stand-level BNF (0.76 kg N · ha-1 · yr-1) occurs in the canopy, rather than on the forest floor (0.26 kg N · ha-1 · yr-1). We suggest that BNF by cyanobacterial-bryophyte associations in the canopy of coastal temperate rain forests is a unique source of ecosystem N, which is dependent on large, old trees with high epiphytic bryophyte biomass. 相似文献
