A study on the relationship between vegetation pattern and environment in the upstream of Minjiang River,China

The vegetation pattern in the upstream of Minjiang River,and its relationship with environment factors,such as landscape position(elevation,slope,aspect),precipitation and temperature and soil are analyzed in this paper.The data used in this Paper were based on the landscape map derived from 1994 TM imagery.The results were as follows:1)dominant landscape types were forest,shrub land and grassland,which were very similar in terms of area ratio(32.87%,31.85% and 28.44%,respectively);2)the patch shape of conifer forest and mixed forest was complicated while that of broad-leaved forest and cultivated land was simple;3)the fragmentation of conifer forest and mixed forest was serious in contrast with low fragmentation of broad-leaved forest and cultivated land;and 4)closed scrub and grassland had a high contagion and good connectivity while mixed forest had a lower contagion and bad connectivity.In addition,the vegetation distribution pattern of upstream of Minjiang River Was closely related with elevation and temperature,but the relationship between vegetation and precipitation was not statistically significant.     

Correlation between vegetation and environment at different levels in an arid,mountainous region of China

Vegetation patterns and spatial organization are influenced by the changing environmental conditions and human activities. However, the effect of environment on vegetation at different vegetation classification levels has been unclear. We conducted an analysis to explore the relationship between environment and vegetation in the land use/land cover (LULC), vegetation group, vegetation type, and formation and subformation levels using redundancy analysis with seven landscape metrics and 33 environmental factors in the upper reaches of the Heihe River basin in an arid area of China to clarify this uncertainty. Atmospheric counter radiation was the most important factor at the four levels. The effect of soil was the second determinant factor at three levels (except in vegetation formation and subformation level). The number of variables whose relationship to vegetation reached significant levels varied from 26 to 28, and 20 variables were the same at all four levels. The factors affecting vegetation were basically the same at vegetation group level and vegetation‐type level. It was sufficient to analyze the relationship between environmental and vegetation patterns only in LULC, vegetation group and vegetation formation and subformation level in mountainous regions; different factors should be considered at different vegetation levels.

为了解金沙江上游奔子栏到羊拉约130 km河段范围内干旱河谷的植被特征, 作者采用样带与典型样方相结合的方法, 对该河段进行了植物群落调查。结果显示: (1)研究区域记录到野生维管植物51科95属111种(含种下等级), 其中, 蕨类植物4科4属6种; 无裸子植物; 被子植物中双子叶植物40科71属84种; 单子叶植物7科20属21种。(2)群落物种以草本为主, 达67种, 占总物种数的60.36%; 生活型以地面芽植物为主, 占总物种数的32.43%, 矮高位芽次之, 占27.93%; 叶型以微型和小型叶为主, 微型叶有30种, 占统计总数(50种)的60%, 小型叶有11种, 占总数的22%。(3)用双向指示种分析方法可将93个样方分为5个群系。分布最广、物种丰富度最高的是小叶荆 + 小叶野丁香(Form. Vitex microphylla + Leptodermis pilosa var. microphylla)群系。(4)根据对该河谷区域的气候特点、干旱程度、植被特征(植株矮化、叶片小、植物毛被发达、植株具刺、部分植物有吸湿反应性特征等)的分析, 综合植物群落的外貌、结构、物种构成和植物形态, 可以确认金沙江上游干旱河谷植被具有亚热带荒漠植被类型的 特征。     

岷江上游退化植被不同恢复阶段群落小气候特征研究

按生态恢复的时间序列调查了6个不同类型的群落,测定了群落内光照强度、大气相对湿度、大气温度、土壤温度和土壤水分等参数。结果表明,随植被恢复时间的增加,群落内光照强度、地表温度和气温及其变动幅度逐渐减小;自然恢复群落和人工恢复群落相比较,前者有较高的群落气温和较低的大气相对湿度;随着恢复时间的增加,撂荒地各层的土壤含水量有所提高,人工恢复群落土壤上层(0-15cm)和中层(15—30cm)含水量随林龄增加而降低,而下层(30—45cm)则增加,自然恢复群落的土壤含水量高于其它群落。随之植被恢复的时间加长,群落内小气候向着稳定的方向发展,群落的环境逐渐得到改善。     

岷江上游景观边界网络格局分析

格局与过程是景观生态学研究的核心内容,与基于斑块的研究相比,基于边界的研究是格局与过程研究的一个新的切入点.以岷江上游地区为例,基于TM影像数据,应用RS、GIS、Fragstats等软件,选用边界长度、边界密度、边界海拔、结点数量、网眼大小、网络连接度等指数,研究了景观边界网络格局的变化,并分析了与之相关的生态过程.结果表明,在1974～2000年期间,由于人为干扰强度的加剧,岷江上游景观边界网络结构变得更加复杂,在早期以边界长度增加为主,网络连接度变大,在后期以边界数量和结点数量增加为主,网络连接度变小;森林景观与低坡位景观类型间的边界减少,森林下线上移;农田与林地的边界在早期增加,1986年后减少,而与灌木林地的边界持续增加;随着林地的蚀退,森林结构变得简单化,而农田、灌木林地、草地等景观类型的结构变得更加复杂.     

Landscape pattern and eco-hydrological characteristics at the upstream of Minjiang River, China

Based on three scenes of Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite images acquired on June 26, 1994, 12 land cover types were identified by the supervised classification techniques. The precipitation, runoff, and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data of six catchments were accumulated from April to September in 1992, 1993, and 1995. A new eco-hydrological index, expressed by the difference between precipitation and runoff divided by the product of precipitation and NDVI, was used in this study to represent the eco-hydrological functions of different catchments. The results were: (1) The selected six catchments at the upstream of Minjiang River, China were different in landscape patterns in terms of landscape type and cover. There were higher contagion, lower edge density and diversity index in the Shouxi catchments and lower contagion, higher edge density and diversity index in the Zagunao catchments. (2) Eco-hydrological indexes had remarkable differences among different catchments. The highest eco-hydrological index was found in the Shouxi catchments, which indicated higher precipitation holding capacity of vegetation therein. While the lower eco-hydrological index was found in the Zagunao catchments, which indicated its lower precipitation holding capacity of vegetation. (3) High correlation was detected between the landscape indexes and eco-hydrological indexes. Eco-hydrological index was positively correlated with landscape contagion in contrast with the negative correlation with landscape diversity and edge density. __________ Translated from Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2005, 25(4): 691–698 [译自: 生态学报, 2005, 25(4): 691–698]

闽江河口湿地土壤速效磷时空分布与来源

选取闽江河口潮滩湿地作为研究区,于2013年5、8和11月沿水文梯度采集不同深度土壤,测定其速效磷含量,研究闽江河口潮滩湿地土壤速效磷沿水文梯度的时空分布特征;并进一步测定土壤全磷(TP)、有机磷(Org-P)和无机磷(IP)分级,利用通径分析揭示土壤速效磷来源。结果表明:5月和8月土壤平均速效磷含量分别为3.53±1.15和3.23±1.15 mg·kg-1,显著高于11月(1.96±1.07 mg·kg-1)(P0.05);5、8和11月土壤速效磷空间分布格局相似,从高潮滩到中潮滩,其含量呈波动降低,并且表现为芦苇群落土壤速效磷含量显著高于短叶茳芏群落(P0.05);在垂直方向上,高潮滩土壤速效磷含量大都随深度增加而降低,中潮滩其垂直变化不显著;在植物生长初期(5月),土壤Org-P和闭蓄态磷(O-P)是速效磷的主要来源;在植物生长旺盛期(8月)和生长末期(11月),土壤Org-P和铁磷(Fe-P)是速效磷的主要来源。     

伊犁河谷北坡垂直分布格局及其与环境的关系——一种特殊的双峰分布格局

针对伊犁河谷北坡山地的植物多样性和土壤因子沿海拔的分布方式进行研究。对研究地海拔1000-2200m植物和环境特征进行调查,选取群落样地总数为44个,共调查到植物种155种,其中乔木7种、灌木18种、草本130种,调查到的群落类型完全涵盖了研究区所有沿海拔上升的群落类型。通过NLFS高级模拟显示总的物种丰富度、Simpson指数、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数、Pielou均匀度指数都与海拔呈现先升高后降低,再升高的一个特殊分布格局。出现了两个较高的物种丰富度地带,其中一个是低山荒漠到落叶阔叶林,另一个是山地草原到针叶林带。土壤养分和盐分也表现出了类似多样性的分布格局。通过PCA和相关分析表明,环境因子控制着物种丰富度和它的分布方式。水分在低海拔比较重要,在高海拔温度比较重要,而由于逆温层的作用,在较高海拔的针叶林带物种多样性出现了上升。物种丰富度与土壤总盐呈现显著负相关关系(r=-0.343),与土壤全盐也呈现显著负相关关系(r=-0.341)。Simpson指数与土壤pH值呈现显著负相关关系(r=-0.465)。Shannon-Wiener指数与土壤电导率呈现显著负相关关系(r=-0.367)。Pielou均匀度指数与土壤电导率呈现极显著负相关关系(r=-0.477),总之,多样性指数和土样盐分表现出了强相关性。这个研究为伊犁河谷植被与植物资源的保护和利用提供重要的科学依据,为河谷区山地植被与环境关系提供基础科学理论,为山地退化植被的修复提供参考案例和可借鉴的基础性数据。     

Plant community complexity in the arid valley of Minjiang River, southwestern China

Biocomplexity theory is becoming increasingly important in understanding natural vegetation dynamics and interrelation among all components of the ecosystem. In this study, based on the field investigation of plant species and environmental factors (altitude, microtopography, soil water content, and soil nutrients) in an arid valley of the upper reaches of Minjiang River, Sichuan Province, southwestern China, plant community complexity and its relationship with environmental factors, community diversity, species evenness and richness were studied. Both total and structural complexities of the communities showed a “high- low-high” tendency with the increase in altitude of the area, which meant that the complexity of communities was the highest at the sites of low and high altitude, whereas it was the lowest at the sites of intermediate altitude. It was found that the total community complexity had significant quadratic correlations with soil organic matter (SOM) content, total nitrogen (N), hydrolyzable N, soil water content, and available potassium (K), whereas it had no significant correlations with soil total K, total phosphorus (P), available P, and pH value. The total community complexity positively correlated with community diversity, species evenness and species richness, whereas the structural complexity negatively correlated with the community evenness. Of the two components of the total community complexity, namely, the structural complexity and the structural diversity, the structural complexity was more sensitive than the structural diversity to the changes of species in the community, which was not only related to the community evenness but also to the community richness. The relative contribution of both the structural complexity and the structural diversity to the total complexity would be different for different study areas or ecosystems.

闽江流域生态安全格局及其生态保护修复措施

流域及其生态环境问题受到国内外的广泛关注,我国面临的流域生态环境问题突出亟待解决,体现流域生态系统完整性的山水林田湖草生命共同体理念对我国流域生态保护修复工作具有重要意义。以福建省山水林田湖草生态保护修复试点的工程区——闽江流域为例,在介绍其生态环境特征的基础上,通过梳理分析,根据区域生态功能的重要性构建“一江一带一区一屏”的闽江流域总体生态安全格局,面临的主要生态环境问题包括闽江水环境污染、流域岸带水土流失、矿区生态破坏、森林屏障和生物多样性退化等一系列威胁;分析提出了闽江水环境综合治理、干支流沿岸带水土流失防治、矿区废弃土地修复、武夷山地等重要生态屏障森林和生物多样性保护等主要任务及相应工程措施,体现了流域整体性、系统性的保护修复需求和内在逻辑;讨论了监测、评价等保障措施,为改善闽江流域生态系统和开展山水林田湖草生态保护修复工程提供科学依据和实践经验。     

岷江上游不同景观结构小流域水量平衡的比较

研究了1988～2002年岷江上游两个小流域（镇江关流域和黑水河流域）不同景观结构（土地覆盖、海拔、坡度、斑块密度、最大斑块指数等）对水量平衡的影响.基于两个流域土地覆盖类型、1988～2002年多年平均降水量和蒸散量的空间分布、两个流域土地覆盖类型同期多年平均径流深度的数据,得到不同土地覆盖类型的海拔、坡度、坡向与降雨、蒸散、径流的关系.结果表明,两个流域有林地海拔、坡度、坡向的不同导致其降水、蒸散降水比、径流降水比各异;两个流域草地水量平衡对景观格局的响应模式与有林地基本一致;由于黑水河流域的耕地分布在干旱河谷中,其蒸散量远远大于降水量,耕地本身的景观结构（坡向、坡度,斑块密度）并不对其水量平衡产生影响,这一点与镇江关完全不同.     

基于多时相Landsat5/8影像的岷江汶川-都江堰段植被覆盖动态监测

植被覆盖度是衡量地表植被状况和指示生态环境变化的一个重要指标。基于像元二分模型,利用Landsat5/8遥感影像和DEM数据,对岷江汶川-都江堰段植被覆盖动态变化进行了监测,并结合高程、坡度和坡向数据,分析了汶川地震前后植被受损与恢复的空间动态格局变化。研究表明:植被覆盖总体良好,大部分区域的植被覆盖度均在中、高度以上,空间格局上呈现由汶川县东部、都江堰市西北部的龙门山区向两侧减少的总体趋势;地震造成植被受损面积达63808.7 hm~2,且集中分布于海拔567—4331 m、坡度26—51°的范围以及东坡、北坡、南坡和西坡;震后5a,植被恢复面积17786.47 hm~2,主要分布在海拔576—2180 m与3256—3793 m、坡度小于9°和26—51°以及东坡、东南坡和和南坡;高程和坡度对植被损毁与恢复的影响明显高于坡向。     

人类活动影响下岷江上游景观变化分析

综合利用多种数据源,结合3S技术,分析了岷江上游1986、1995和2000年3个时期的景观格局,重点探讨了森林、草地等主要景观类型在持续人类活动强度作用下的变化,确定了不同景观类型对人类活动强度的敏感程度.结果表明:1)岷江上游景观以草地、森林为主要景观类型.1986、1995和2000年3个时期森林、草地景观类型面积之和均高达96.1%、96.38%和95.23%,其它景观类型作为斑块镶嵌其中,森林和草地共同控制了整个研究区景观格局变化与生态过程;2)不同景观对人类活动强度的敏感性有显著差异.低强度的人类活动有利于有林地景观的恢复;高盖度草地对人类活动很敏感,严格减少干扰活动强度才有利于维持其景观;中盖度草地对中低强度的人类活动(如放牧)很敏感,景观退化,面积减少.     

云雾山天然草地物种分布与环境因子的关系

应用数量生态学中的梯度分析方法研究了云雾山天然草地群落类型、物种分布以及与环境因子的关系.研究结果表明,作为重要的人为管理措施,封育通过改善草地的水分、养分等环境条件,显著影响了云雾山草地的物种分布和群落类型.在封育草地,植被类型为本氏针茅群落,未封育草地为铁杆蒿群落.本氏针茅、百里香、大针茅、直茎点地梅、阿尔泰狗哇花等中旱生植物在封育草地中占优势,铁杆蒿、硬质早熟禾、星毛委菱菜等在退化草地中占优势.除封育措施以外,20～100cm 的土壤含水量对物种分布影响显著.同时,养分作为一个重要的环境因素对物种的分布也具有重要影响,特别是速效钾和NO-3-N.海拔、坡位、坡向等地形因素对植物分布的影响不明显.     

岷江上游典型时期景观格局变化及驱动力初步分析

岷江上游地区是我国一个重要的大尺度、复合型生态过渡带,也是一个生态系统脆弱区,研究其景观格局的变化,对于构筑我国的生态格局安全具有十分重要的意义．本研究利用岷江上游地区1986、1995、2000年3个时期的TM影像,分析了3个时期的景观特征以及变化．结果表明,岷江上游整体景观水平以草地景观为基质、森林景观以及其他景观类型作为斑块镶嵌其中．森林景观面积经历了从1986～1995年的上升,而后到2000年的下降过程;草地景观高盖度草面积不断减少;同时,森林景观和草地景观斑块总数一直增加,破碎化趋势明显．岷江上游景观格局变化的驱动因子主要是日益增加的人口数量而导致的人为干扰,包括对土地利用方式与利用强度的改变、森林资源的掠夺性开采、草地资源的过度放牧以及气候、土壤等自然因素的变化．     

岷江上游景观格局及生态水文特征分析

基于1994年岷江上游TM遥感影像分类,结合6个不同集水区1992、1993、1995年植被生长季降雨、径流及同期NOAA/AVHRR的N DVI数据,构建了植被保水指数作为表征植被生态水文功能分析的指标。并用此对岷江上游6个不同集水区景观格局与生态水文特征进行分析。结果表明:不同集水区植被组成及景观结构有显著差异;不同集水区植被保蓄降雨能力即保水指数有明显差异;不同集水区景观结构指数与保水指数之间具有很高相关性,其中边界密度、多样性指数与保水指数呈负相关,聚集度指数与保水指数呈正相关。保水指数的构建对植被建设具有一定的科学意义     

2006-2016年岷江上游植被覆盖度时空变化及驱动力

基于MODIS NDVI遥感数据,采用像元二分模型估算岷江上游植被覆盖度,运用一元线性回归分析和稳定性分析方法,研究2006-2016年岷江上游植被覆盖度时空变化格局及稳定性,并分段讨论2008年"5.12汶川地震"对岷江上游植被的破坏程度以及震后植被恢复情况,利用地理探测器模型对岷江上游植被覆盖度影响因子及影响力进行探测,分析岷江上游植被覆盖度变化驱动力。结果表明：（1）2006-2016年岷江上游植被覆盖整体状况良好,植被覆盖总体情况较为稳定,多年平均植被覆盖度为0.79,植被覆盖度大于0.8的区域占整个岷江上游地区面积的69%。（2）2008年"5.12汶川地震"给整个岷江上游植被造成了严重的破坏,植被覆盖度退化区域面积为14013.41 km²,占整个岷江上游面积的57%,2008-2016年岷江上游植被恢复状况良好,植被覆盖度改善区域面积为17390.69 km²,占整个岷江上游面积的71%,岷江上游植被覆盖度已经超过震前水平。（3）岷江上游植被覆盖度主要受海拔、气温、土壤类型、降水4个因子的影响,其解释力均在40%以上;地貌类型、植被类型的解释力在20%-40%之间;坡度、坡向的解释力均小于1%。     

岷江上游地区人类活动强度及其特征

利用1∶25万国家基础地理信息数据,在ArcGIS支持下,基于地理学自相关理论,采用居民点、道路和地形因子等权重指标,实现岷江上游人类活动强度定量化的空间表达,并分析其空间特征。结果表明:岷江流域各个县域人类活动强度大小和分布均有差异,其中黑水县人类活动最为剧烈,且分布最为均匀;理县和茂县人类活动强度和分布均匀程度基本接近全流域的平均水平;靠近成都平原的汶川县,因卧龙保护区位于该区境内,使该县的人类强度降低,同时其人类活动的空间分布亦不均匀;松潘县地处北部,人类活动强度最低。本研究采用坡度、道路和居民点3个因子来定量化人类活动强度,反映了研究区人类活动强度及其空间分布特征,从而为进一步探讨景观格局演变提供了新的思路。
