木林子大样地两个木姜子属物种空间分布格局及关联性

该文以湖北木林子国家级自然保护区15 hm2大样地同属物种[木姜子(Litsea pungens)和黄丹木姜子(L. elongata)]为研究对象,通过成对相关函数和不同零模型(完全空间随机模型、异质泊松模型和先决条件模型)的方法分析两个物种的空间分布格局、种内和种间空间关联性,从同属物种的空间分布格局角度探讨群落的构建机制。结果表明:(1)种群空间分布格局研究中,两个种的空间分布格局大致为聚集分布。基于CSR零模型,木姜子和不同径级(幼树、小树、中树和成年树)的聚集尺度分别为0~114 m、0~103 m、0~56 m、0~34 m和0~16 m,黄丹木姜子和不同径级的聚集尺度分别为0~150 m、0~150 m、0~59 m、0~56m和0~14 m;基于HP零模型,木姜子整体的空间分布格局聚集尺度为0~23 m,其中幼树、小树和中树均在0~22 m呈现聚集分布,成年树仅在0~3 m尺度上表现为聚集分布,黄丹木姜子整体的空间分布格局聚集尺度为0~36 m、140~150 m,各径级的聚集尺度分别为0~35 m、0~35 m、0~12 m和0~6 m。(2)种内关联性研究中,木姜子和黄丹木姜子不同径级个体种内关联在小尺度上基本呈现正关联,随着尺度的增大变为微弱的无关联或负关联。(3)种间关联研究中,木姜子对黄丹木姜子和黄丹木姜子对木姜子的空间关系大致相同。总体上,两物种之间均体现为在30 m尺度内对另外一个物种呈现正关联,40~68 m尺度内呈现负关联;不同径级之间都表现为无关联,偶尔出现正关联或负关联。研究认为,种群空间分布格局基本上为聚集分布,其主要受到生境异质性和扩散限制的影响,木林子大样地中木姜子和黄丹木姜子空间分布格局存在相似性,而不同的生境偏好可能是导致两同属物种共存的原因。

研究青海云杉(Picea crassifolia)种群不同发育阶段的空间分布格局及其关联性, 能揭示其种群的发展规律, 推断其潜在的生态学过程或影响机制, 进而为该种群的配置、种植和森林的经营与管理等提供指导。该研究基于祁连山大野口流域10.2 hm²青海云杉动态监测样地调查资料, 分析了青海云杉群落的物种组成和径级结构, 并采用点格局方法, 通过单变量成对相关函数和双变量成对相关函数对不同年龄阶段青海云杉种群的空间分布格局及其空间关联性进行分析。结果表明: (1)青海云杉种群的径级结构呈倒“J”型分布, 属增长型种群, 种群自然更新状况良好。(2)青海云杉种群4个径级的个体在小尺度上呈聚集分布, 但随着空间尺度的增大, 聚集强度逐渐减弱, 趋向随机分布; 较小径级的个体常呈聚集分布, 而随着径级增大, 也趋向于随机分布。(3)青海云杉大树个体在小尺度(<4 m)范围内与其他径级个体都呈负关联, 随着尺度的增加, 大树与幼树表现出正关联且关联性随尺度的增加而减弱, 而与小树、中树则表现为无关联或者微弱的负关联; 径级相近的个体空间关联性为正关联或无关联, 随着个体径级间差距增大, 空间关联性转变为无关联或负关联。研究表明, 祁连山大野口流域青海云杉种群的分布格局及其关联性随空间尺度和发育阶段而变化, 这是由种群自身的生物生态学特性、种内种间关系以及环境条件共同作用的结果。     

秦岭优势乔木锐齿槲栎的空间分布格局及种内关联

为探究锐齿槲栎种群的空间分布特征及关联性,本研究以秦岭皇冠暖温性落叶阔叶林25 hm²森林样地内优势树种锐齿槲栎为对象,采用成对相关函数g(r)对其空间格局及其种内关联性进行了研究。结果表明: 锐齿槲栎径级结构呈“双峰”型,幼树(1 cm≤胸径DBH＜5 cm)个体数较多,种群呈增长型结构,更新良好;中树(15 cm≤DBH＜25 cm)比大树(25 cm≤DBH＜35 cm)、老树(DBH≥35 cm)的个体数略多,但远少于幼树和小树(5 cm≤DBH＜15 cm)。锐齿槲栎空间分布具有明显的海拔依赖性,主要分布在中高海拔地区。完全空间随机零模型分析表明,各径级个体在＜60 m的大尺度范围聚集分布。使用异质泊松模型剔除生境异质性分析表明,各径级的个体转变为大尺度的随机分布,表明树种的分布明显受到生境变化的影响。在＜40 m的小尺度范围内,径级差距小的个体间的空间关联性为正关联,径级差距大的个体间的空间关联性转变为负关联和无关联;在＞40 m的大尺度范围内,大径级个体间的空间关联性为正关联,而幼树和其他径级个体间的空间关联性为负关联或无关联。锐齿槲栎自身生物学特性和环境异质性是种群空间格局形成的重要原因。     

青藏高原东缘林线杜鹃-岷江冷杉原始林的空间格局

为深入理解高山林线原始林中优势树种的空间结构特征和种间关系,以青藏高原东缘林线杜鹃-岷江冷杉原始林1 hm²样地调查数据为基础,采用成对相关函数g(r)函数,分析了优势种岷江冷杉(Abies faxoniana)和凝毛杜鹃(Rhododendron agglutinatum)各径级的空间分布格局和各径级间的空间关联性。结果表明:岷江冷杉和凝毛杜鹃径级分布连续,呈倒"J"型,均为进展种群。小尺度上,对于岷江冷杉活立木(小树+中树+大树)、小树、中树为显著聚集分布,大树为均匀分布,死树则为随机分布;凝毛杜鹃活立木(小树+中树+大树)、小树、中树、大树、死树均为显著聚集分布。小尺度上随径级增大岷江冷杉的分布格局从聚集分布趋于均匀分布。岷江冷杉大树与其小树的空间关联验证了Janzen-Connell假说中的距离制约效应。通过验证接受了随机死亡假说,发现种内的密度制约效应不明显。两个树种的枯立木对凝毛杜鹃小树均表现为排斥关系,而对岷江冷杉小树表现为相互独立的关系。两个优势种总体表现为相互独立,但种间不同径级间的空间关联性各异。     

西藏色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉种群点格局分析

基于4 hm2色季拉山长期监测样地调查资料,采用成对相关函数点格局方法,分析西藏色季拉山冷杉林群落优势种急尖长苞冷杉种群活立木不同生长阶段和不同大小死亡木的空间格局及它们之间的空间关联性.结果表明:急尖长苞冷杉种群活立木径级分布连续,呈倒“J”型,为增长型种群.小树在小尺度(0～7 m)上呈显著聚集分布,随着龄级和研究尺度的增加,冷杉种群聚集强度逐渐减弱,最终趋向于均匀或随机分布格局.小树与大树、中树与大树在小尺度(0～35和0～30 m)上呈负关联,在大尺度(45～100和80～100 m)上呈正关联,且个体间龄级相差越大,其关联性越强.冷杉死亡所释放的空间不足以影响大树对小树的距离制约,大径级死亡木与小树在小尺度(0～34和5～27 m)上具有负关联性,在大尺度(49～100和73～100 m)上具有正关联性.自疏作用和Janzen-Connell假说中的距离制约效应可能是色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉种群空间格局形成的重要原因.

尖峰岭热带山地雨林优势树种白颜树空间分布格局

优势树种对群落的构建和形成起主要作用。该文以海南岛尖峰岭60 hm²样地内重要值第二大的树种白颜树(Gironniera subaequalis)为研究对象, 探索其种群分布格局特征, 讨论环境异质性、密度依赖死亡、扩散限制等机制在格局形成过程中所起的作用。将白颜树10022个植株分为6个径级, 分别归属于幼树、中龄树、成年树三个生活史阶段, 采用成对相关函数分析各径级的空间分布特征; 双变量成对相关函数和标签关联函数分析不同生活史阶段之间的空间关系; Berman检验方法检验3个地形因子分别对幼树、中龄树、成年树分布影响的显著度。结果表明: 白颜树种群内I、II、III、IV径级呈现聚集分布, 聚集程度随径级的增加减弱; V和VI径级小尺度上均匀分布, 大尺度上以随机分布为主。幼树与中龄树空间正关联; 幼树与成年树空间负关联; 成年树与中龄树在较小的尺度上负关联, 大尺度上微弱正关联。但是不同生活史阶段的个体之间彼此分离, 个体间无直接的促进作用。地形因子中, 坡度、海拔、凹凸度对幼树的分布影响显著; 坡度、凹凸度对中龄树的分布影响显著; 仅坡度对成年树的分布影响显著。从现有的空间格局可以推断出环境异质性和密度依赖死亡对格局形成起作用, 但是种子的扩散限制对空间格局的影响没有明确地表现出来。     

黔中喀斯特次生林优势物种空间分布格局及关联性

以黔中天龙山2 hm²喀斯特次生林为对象,采用成对相关函数g(r)结合完全随机模型(CSR)研究重要值前4位优势树种的空间分布格局及其关联性。结果表明: 样地树种的径级结构呈倒“J”型分布,在优势树种窄叶石栎和圆果化香的影响下,第Ⅴ径级(≥10 cm)的数量较多。窄叶石栎呈现倒“J”型分布,种群更新良好,处于生长发育初级阶段;而圆果化香和云南鼠刺随着径级的增大数量逐渐递增,成年树、大树数量远多于幼树、小树,表明该种群更新不足,处于生长发育的中后期并逐渐衰退。除窄叶石栎外,其余优势树种整体呈现出在较大尺度上聚集分布,聚集程度随着尺度的增大逐渐下降并趋于随机分布,此规律在幼树径级中表现得尤为突出;而受各种因素的影响,各个树种不同径级呈现出不同的空间分布格局。在种间关联上,4个优势树种之间大多呈现负关联或者无关联关系,树种重要值越高与其他优势树种关联程度越低,呈现负关联的2个树种在小尺度上关联程度最低,随着尺度的增大负关联程度逐渐降低并趋向于无显著关联。

Spatial patterns and associations in a Quercus‐Betula forest in northern China

Question: Are species‐specific regeneration strategies and competition the dominant processes facilitating species coexistence in a Quercus liaotungensis dominated temperate deciduous forest? Location: Dongling Mountains, North China, 1300 m a.s.l. Methods: Ripley's K‐function was used to characterize the spatial patterns and spatial associations of two dominant tree species, Quercus liaotungensis and Betula dahurica, and a common subcanopy species, Acer mono, at different growth stages (adult, sapling, seedling). Results: Seedlings, saplings and adults of all three species exhibited clumped distributions at most spatial scales. Quercus seedlings and saplings were positively associated with conspecific adult trees and spatially independent of dead trees suggesting that seed dispersal and vegetative regeneration influenced the spatial patterning of Quercus trees. Betula seedlings and saplings were positively associated with both live and dead trees of conspecific adults at small scales (<5 m) but negatively associated with live and dead trees of other species indicating sprouting as an important mechanism of reproduction. Saplings of Acer had a strong spatial dependence on the distribution of conspecific adult trees indicating its limited seed dispersal range. Negative associations between adult trees of Betula and Quercus demonstrated interspecific competition at local scales (<5 m). Conclusions: Different regeneration strategies among the three species play an important role in regulating their spatial distribution patterns, while competition between individuals of Betula and Quercus at the adult stage also contributes to spatial patterning of these communities. The recruitment limitations of Betula and Quercus may affect the persistence of these species and the long‐term dynamics of the forest.     

Variation in allometry and tree architecture among<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Symplocos</Emphasis> species in a Japanese warm-temperate forest

We compared tree architecture and allometry among five Symplocos species (Symplocos myrtacea, Symplocos lancifolia, Symplocos lucida, Symplocos glauca, and Symplocos theophrastiifolia) in a Japanese warm-temperate forest to understand the causes of interspecific variations in these characteristics. S. lancifolia, S. glauca, and S. theophrastiifolia grew at elevations below 500 m, whereas S. lucida grew on ridges irrespective of elevations, and S. myrtacea grew at elevations above 590 m. The species that shared a habitat exhibited trade-offs between height growth and crown area extension that might reflect differentiation in their regeneration niches. S. lancifolia showed the lowest height growth and widest crown extension, whereas S. theophrastiifolia showed the greatest height growth and lowest crown extension. S. glauca was intermediate between these species. S. lucida grows on ridges characterized by strong winds and the absence of other Symplocos species; it had the thickest stem and second-narrowest crown of the five species, possibly due to mechanical stability constraints. S. myrtacea was smallest at the onset of reproduction, and its fruits developed under closed canopies. Its architecture and allometry may increase seed production. Variation in tree architecture and allometry among the five species appear to be related to differentiation among regeneration niches, mechanical stability, and reproduction constraints.     

Spatial pattern formation and relative importance of intra- and interspecific competition in codominant tree species, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Podocarpus nagi</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Neolitsea aciculata</Emphasis>

Spatial patterns, their changes due to mortality, and intra- and interspecific competition of two codominant tree species, Podocarpus nagi and Neolitsea aciculata, were analyzed at Mt. Mikasa, Nara City, Japan. Podocarpus nagi has a higher shade tolerance but a narrower seed dispersal range than N. aciculata. We inferred the mechanisms of spatial pattern formation and coexistence of the two species. Podocarpus nagi and N. aciculata trees were clumped and showed a spatial repulsion from each other. Patches dominated by either P. nagi or N. aciculata were formed. Podocarpus nagi trees were less clumped with increasing tree size, although no significant change in spatial patterns due to mortality was detected. A patch formation of the P. nagi population seemed to be induced by the narrow seed dispersal range. On the other hand, N. aciculata trees were more clumped and more repulsive from P. nagi trees with increasing tree size. The distribution of N. aciculata trees shifted to more clumped than expected from the random mortality over the research period. Post-dispersal mortality due to competitive exclusion by P. nagi affected the patch formation of the N. aciculata population. The relative importance of intraspecific competition to interspecific competition on the relative growth rate increased with increasing tree size. The shift corresponded to an increasing spatial repulsion between the two species. The patch formation of P. nagi population may create the spatial refuge of N. aciculata from P. nagi and may enable avoidance of interspecific competition and the coexistence of the two species.

Tree competition and species coexistence in a cool-temperate old-growth forest in southwestern Japan

Abstract. The growth dynamics and mode of competition between adult trees ≥ 4 cm in DBH (stem diameter at breast height 1.3 m) of eight abundant species occupying ca. 90 % of the total basal area were investigated in a 4-ha study plot (200 m × 200 m) of a cool-temperate, old-growth forest on Mount Daisen, southwestern Japan. In the study plot, 30 tree species with individuals ≥ 4.0 cm DBH co-occurred. A bimodal DBH distribution showing upper and lower-canopy layers was found for the most dominant and largest species, Fagus crenata (ca. 78 % of the total basal area), whilst other tree species showed unimodal DBH distributions corresponding mostly to the lower-canopy layer. We developed a model for individual growth incorporating both intra and interspecific competition and the degree of competitive asymmetry. Onesided interspecific competition was detected only from Fagus crenata (upper-canopy species) to Acer japonicum and Acanthopanax sciadophylloides (lower-canopy species) on the scale of the 4-ha study plot. Only Acanthopanax sciadophylloides showed symmetric intraspecific competition. However, a positive (non-competitive) interspecific relationship between adult trees prevailed over a competitive relationship; for example, individual DBH growth rate of Fagus crenata (especially lower-canopy trees) was correlated with the abundance of Acer mono. The positive relationship represented a group of species with similar habitat preference [soil type (mature or immature) caused by landslide disturbance and the presence/absence of Sasa dwarf bamboos in the understorey], where tree densities were not so high as to bring about competition. Competitive interactions between adult trees ≥ 4 cm in DBH occurred only locally between a few specific species and were suggested to be almost irrelevant to the variation in species coexistence on the 4-ha scale of cool-temperate forest. Rather, the coexistence of 30 tree species (species diversity) on this large scale was suggested to be governed by the regeneration pattern of each component species (habitat preference, seedling establishment, sapling competition) with respect to landslide disturbance.
