西藏高原高寒草原生态系统植被C／N值的分布特征及其影响因素

以西藏高原高寒草原生态系统的4个自然地带（高山草原、高山灌丛草甸、山地半荒漠与荒漠以及山地灌丛草原）的19个草地型植被为研究对象,采用野外调查与室内分析相结合的方法,对高寒草原生态系统植被C／N值的分布特征及其影响因素进行了研究。结果表明：西藏高原高寒草原植被C／N值总体上呈现出东西部低而中间高的态势以及斑块状交错分布的格局。不同自然地带间和不同草地型间植被地上部分和根系的C／N值有明显差异,且地上部分的C／N值均大于根系。19个草地型植被地上部分的平均C／N值为34．17,变异系数为35．87％;根系的平均C／N值为29．58,变异系数为40．02％。4个自然地带植被地上部分的平均C／N值为31．98,变异系数为13．82％;根系的平均C／N值为31．86,变异系数为16．92％。回归分析结果显示：植被地上部分C／N值与地上部生物量以及土壤全N和全K含量呈显著正相关、与植被高度呈显著负相关;根系C／N值与海拔和20～30em土壤容重呈显著正相关、与年均降水量和年均蒸发量呈显著负相关,这些因子均为影响西藏高原高寒草原植被C／N值的关键环境因子。总体上看,地理因子、气候因子和土壤物理因子对西藏高原高寒草原生态系统植被C／N值的影响不显著,而植被因子和土壤化学因子则对其有显著影响。     

西藏植被的高原地带性

1.西藏高原的植被不同于一般的“水平地带”植被,也不同于山地的“垂直带”植被。它是属于“准平原式”的垂直带植被,可称之为“高原地带”植被。2.西藏植被的成带现象自东南向西北变化如下:森林—草甸—草原—荒漠。这些高原地带性的形成主要取决于高原巨大幅度的隆升及其所引起的特殊的大气环流状况。潮湿的西南季风乃是西藏东南部热带和亚热带山地森林发育的基本因素。高原面处在西风环流和“青藏高压”控制下,在这种大陆性高原的气候条件下,形成了高寒草甸、草原和荒漠植被。     

都江堰地区──横断山北段生物多样性交汇、分化和存留的枢纽地段

都江堰地区位于四川盆地西缘山地、西藏高原向成都平原的过渡,位置特殊,是大尺度复合性的生态过渡中地理要素在此交汇过渡。气候处于中亚热带,植被基带为 阔叶林。由于气候温润,加上地形崎岖,岭谷相同,物种交汇,分化强烈,境内最高山光光山海拔４５８２ｍ,高于附近平源３８８０ｍ,植被垂直带谱清晰完整,是横断山北段生物多样性保护关键区的代表。     

西藏高原冬虫夏草资源适宜性区划分析

冬虫夏草是分布在西藏高原高寒草甸中稀缺的可再生生物资源,具有很高的药用价值和经济价值,然而资源的数量、空间分布格局及分布适宜度尚不清晰。根据西藏高原冬虫夏草产区生态环境条件,以海拔高度、植被类型、土壤类型、年平均降水量、年平均气温为区划主要指标,利用GIS空间分析方法对西藏高原冬虫夏草生长区进行适宜性综合区划。结果表明:那曲地区的比如县、索县,昌都市的边坝县、丁青县、类乌齐县、江达县、洛隆县、察雅县、贡觉县部分产区处在适宜区;那曲地区的那曲县、嘉黎县、巴青县、聂荣县,拉萨市的当雄县及其他产区处在次适宜区;日喀则市的大部分地区、林芝市和山南市的低海拔地区为不适宜区。在出产冬虫夏草的地区(市)中,那曲地区、昌都市分布面积占当地产冬虫夏草县域国土面积的52.1%—59.3%,山南市、日喀则市、拉萨市和林芝市分布面积占当地产冬虫夏草县域国土面积的13.7%—26.1%,整个西藏高原产区的冬虫夏草分布面积平均占当地产冬虫夏草县域国土面积的34.5%。综合区划图能比较真实的反映西藏高原冬虫夏草空间分布格局,区划结果与采挖地乡镇调查结果符合程度高,与冬虫夏草单位草原面积统计产量分布较为一致。这一研究方法可为以后冬虫夏草资源调查提供参考,为冬虫夏草资源评估及区划等相关研究提供方法支持。

The Alpine Cushion Vegetation of Xizang

The alpine cushion vegetation is a peculiar type of the alpine vegetation, Which widely distributes in the Qinghai-Xizang plateau, range Tianshan and the Eastern Pamir of China, and developes best in Xizang. In this paper, the problem of the correct differentiation of the alpine cushion vegetation are discussed, in addition, Some Characteristics of the environment, distribution and composition of the alpine cushion vegetation in Xizang are analysed and discussed. The authors suggested that the Xizang plateau is an another original center of the alpine cushion vegetation besides the Pamir plateau according as authors had analysed the basic characteristic of the alpine cushion vegetation in Xizang. The following 5 main formations of the cushion vegetation of the Xizang are summarized: Form. Androsace tapete, Form. Arcnaria bryophylla, Form. Arenaria pulvinata, Form. Thylacospermum caespitosum and Form. Chionocharis hookeri.     

Observations on the Morphology and Ecology of the Cushion Plants in Togme Region of Northern Xizang

The cushion plant is an ecotype adapted to the environment of the alpine cold climate. There are over 15 species in Northern Xizang plateau, among them Thylaco- spermum caespitosum, Arenaria musciformis and Androsace tapete being common. The general morphology of such plants is expressed as a cushion-like body resulted from the shoots piled up together closely. They may be divided into two types, the close cushion plant and the sparse one, based upon the different degree of compactness of the shoot. The cushion plant is distributed from 4500 to 5300 meters. Different species have different environmental requirement and form the specific community of the alpine cushion vegetation. It has formed in course of the natural selection of the surrounding factors such as plateaus' intense solar radiation, cold weather, strong wind, etc. For a long time, they have sufficiently used the favorabe factors and avoided the unfavorable factors under severe conditions.     

祁连山地区植被特征及其分布规律

分析和讨论了祁连山地区主要植被类型及其分布特征。祁连山地区随着青藏高原的强烈隆升表现为整体抬升,植被具有明显的生态地理边缘效应特征和高原地带性规律。该区植被虽然受到四周的较大影响,但各类高寒植被占有绝对优势,表现出与青藏高原植被整体明显的相似性和广泛的一致性。另一方面,本区植被也有其特殊性及与高原面存在一些差异。因此,建议把祁连山地区做为青藏高原植被区的次一级独立单元     

The Cushion Plant in the Hoh Xil Area of Qinghai

During the first scientific expedition to the Hoh Xil area of Qinghai, the author had collected about 210 speceis of seed plant, which belong to 30 families and 102 genera. Among these plants, 48 species are cushion plant included 8 families and 15 genera. They occupy respectively 26.7% of the total number of the family, 14.7% of the total number of the genus and 22.9% of the total number of the species of the seed plant in this area. Therefore, Qinghai Hoh Xil is the most developed area for the growth of the cushion plant. These cushion plants are morpho-structural and roughly divided into four types: Typical (spongy) cushion plant; Dense clumping cushion plant; Brevi-rhizome or collar tillaring cushion plant; and collar radial dense branching cushion plant. These cushion plants are very much adaptable to the special harmful climate and the adverse nature environment on the plateau platform of Hoh Xil. The community or the population of cushion plant occurs extensively of the various of types of vegetation are very luxurient in the Hoh Xil area. They often become the dominant community or together with often vegetation form a huge landscape of cushion vegetation. The cushion plants are the pioneers in the Hoh Xil area. Their growth cycle, from sprouting, growing, multiplying, flourishing until dying, contribute to the accumulation of soil rich in organic nutrients and create a favourable condition for migration, growth and development of the flora and vegetation in the Hoh Xil area.

Seasonal comparison of bacterial communities in rhizosphere of alpine cushion plants in the Himalayan Hengduan Mountains

Positive associations between alpine cushion plants and other species have been extensively studied. However, almost all studies have focused on the associations between macrofauna. Studies that have investigated positive associations between alpine cushion plants and rhizospheric microbes have been limited to the vegetation growing season. Here, we asked whether the positive effects that alpine cushion plants confer on rhizospheric microbe communities vary with seasons. We assessed seasonal variations in the bacterial diversity and composition in rhizosphere of two alpine cushion plants and surrounding bare ground by employing a high throughput sequencing method targeting the V3 region of bacterial 16S rRNA genes. Soil properties of the rhizosphere and the bare ground were also examined. We found that cushion rhizospheres harbored significantly more C, N, S, ammonia nitrogen, and soil moisture than the bare ground. Soil properties in cushion rhizospheres were not notably different, except for soil pH. Bacterial diversities within the same microhabitats did not vary significantly with seasons. We concluded that alpine cushion plants had positive effects on the rhizospheric bacterial communities, even though the strength of the effect varied in different cushion species. Cushion species and the soil sulfur content were probably the major factors driving the spatial distribution and structure of soil bacterial communities in the alpine communities dominated by cushion plants.

青藏高原是我国高山植被类型最丰富、独特和分布最广泛的区域,发育有大面积的高山灌丛、高寒草甸、高寒草原,高寒荒漠、高山流石坡稀疏植被及零散分布的高山垫状植被。它们占据着森林上线至永久雪线之间的高山带和广阔的高原面,从高原东南部至西北部有水平方向的地域分异。联系高山带以下各垂直带的植被特征及各地的气候条件分析,初步认为高原东南部的山地植被垂直带谱属于湿润型山地垂直带结构类型,高原腹地及西北部的山地植被垂直带谱属于干旱型山地垂直带结构类型。此外,还对青藏高原高山植被类型的丰富性及高山垫状植被的生态地理分布特点进行了初步探讨。     

Tempo and mode of vegetation dynamics over 50 years in a New Zealand alpine cushion / tussock community

Abstract. Question: What are the tempo and mode of long‐term succession and of demographic processes in an alpine community, especially: tenacity, transition patterns, predictions, growth of individual cushion plants, cyclic succession, spatial patterns? Location: A low‐alpine mixed cushion /turf /snow‐tussock / shrub community in southeastern New Zealand. Methods: The distribution of seven plant cover‐types was recorded at 1024 fixed points in an 8 m × 8 m plot at approximately decade intervals for 50 years. The diameters of eight Donatia novae‐zelandiae cushions were monitored. Results: The process was essentially first‐order Markovian. There was a change in transition frequencies about 1980. The tenacity of the two major cover types — cushion and turf — was high, but that of cushion decreased about 1980 as some of its area was taken over by turf. The original informal prediction of 1955 that the cushion/turf would increase proved to be correct, probably because of paludification of the site. A prediction of 1987 made from observed transitions that cushion would dominate over turf has proved untrue because of a change in the transition probabilities in the 1980s, of unknown cause. There is a ten‐fold range in diameter growth rates among the eight cushions measured, but the mean rate of 5.3 mm.a^‐1 is similar to that reported from other alpine and arctic sites. As cushions aged, turf colonized their centres, and in two cases new cushions colonized into this turf: consistent with cyclic succession. The pattern of transitions was compatible with a general interpretation of cyclic succession, but not definitive. Conclusions: Change is slow in this alpine community, and tenacity high. The change in transition frequencies about 1980, the invasion of individual cushions, and the decrease in spatial autocorrelation all suggest that cushions established on the site as a result of the clearance of woody vegetation after 1400 AD. Paludification may be causing some loss of tussock grass. A tendency for the cushions to break up, and the shallow peat accumulated below them, may indicate that they are the first generation of cushions on the site. Though these cushions are breaking up, other cushions are establishing, and cushions will continue to be an important part of the vegetation dynamics which may be part of a cyclic succession.     

Fine‐scale vascular plant species richness in different alpine vegetation types: relationships with biomass and cover

Abstract. Vascular plant species richness was related to biomass and vegetation cover in nine different alpine vegetation types on the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, western Norway. Each vegetation type was sampled within an 8m × 6m area, and the species‐richness pattern analysed. Evidence for a unimodal relationship between species richness and both biomass and cover was found at the within‐vegetation type scale. Cover was a better predictor for species richness than biomass, suggesting that light may be an important factor influencing species richness at this scale in alpine vegetation. The possibility that the results are an artefact of small grain size is also discussed, and several arguments for an ecological explanation of the humpback relationship between species richness and cover are discussed.
