为了探讨造林模式对土壤理化性质和微生物群落功能多样性的影响,以辽宁省新宾陡岭水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshurica)、长白落叶松(Larix olgensis)人工纯林及二者混交林土壤为研究对象,对不同林型土壤pH值、养分含量和土壤微生物活性进行研究,对3种人工林土壤微生物代谢功能多样性进行分析。结果表明:混交林土壤全氮、速效氮、全磷和速效磷分别比落叶松纯林增加28.1%、35.6%、9.5%和12.9%;不同人工林土壤微生物群落代谢活性差异显著,总碳源的利用能力(AWCD)的顺序为水曲柳林混交林落叶松林,落叶松纯林土壤微生物代谢最慢,活性最弱;3种不同人工林土壤微生物群落对六大碳源的利用率存在差异,混交林在L-精氨酸、L-天门冬酰胺、丙酮酸甲酯、腐胺、N-乙酰-D-葡萄糖胺、D-半乳糖醛酸、D-葡萄糖胺酸和4-羟基苯甲酸等8种碳源的利用能力显著高于落叶松纯林;主成分分析显示,糖类和氨基酸类碳源是影响微生物活性的重要碳源;3种不同人工林土壤微生物优势度指数无显著差异,物种丰富度指数依次为水曲柳林混交林落叶松林;落叶松和水曲柳带状混交后可以提高土壤肥力及土壤微生物活性。     

南亚热带马尾松-红椎混交林及其纯林土壤细菌群落结构与功能

营建乡土阔叶树种人工纯林和针阔混交林是我国亚热带地区森林经营的发展趋势,但对人工纯林和针阔混交林土壤细菌群落结构及功能知之甚少。本研究以南亚热带乡土针叶树种马尾松、阔叶树种红椎人工纯林及二者的混交林为对象,运用细菌16S rRNA基因高通量测序技术和PICRUSt基因功能预测,分析了3种人工林不同土层(0～20、20～40和40～60 cm)土壤细菌群落的结构与功能。结果表明: 混交林和马尾松林土壤细菌群落结构相似,但与红椎林差异显著,红椎林土壤细菌群落多样性、生物通路代谢功能和氮循环功能低于马尾松林和混交林;土壤全氮、硝态氮和C/N是导致红椎林与马尾松林和混交林土壤细菌群落结构及功能差异的主要土壤理化因子。就土壤细菌群落结构与功能而言,在该地区营造红椎和马尾松针阔混交林要优于红椎纯林。

大兴安岭呼中地区白卡鲁山植物群落结构及其多样性研究

通过沿海拔梯度系统调查,运用TWINSPAN分类方法,划分出大兴安岭地区白卡鲁山的主要植物群落类型并分析了其结构特征。利用物种丰富度和α多样性等指标,研究了乔木层、灌木层和草本层植物的多样性特征及其随海拔的变化趋势。结果显示：(1)白卡鲁山乔木层在海拔。700-1290m范围内,可分为4种主要群落类型：兴安落叶松疏林、兴安落叶松-白桦混交林、兴安落叶松-白桦-樟子松混交林、兴安落叶松纯林群落;(2)同一植物群落的结构特征比较相似,除兴安落叶松疏林外,其他三种森林类型的平均胸径和平均树高随海拔升高有逐渐增大的趋势;(3)乔木层的直径和树高分布清晰地反映了群落的水平和垂直结构。直径分布均呈现倒“J”型,表明森林的自我更新状况良好;而树高分布主要以双峰分布和近似对称分布为主;(4)乔木层的物种丰富度和α多样性在兴安落叶松纯林中最小,在兴安落叶松-白桦混交林和兴安落叶松-白桦-樟子松混交林群落次之,而在兴安落叶松疏林群落相对较高。各群落类型的灌木层和草本层植物多样性没有明显的差异。乔木层、灌木层和草本层的物种多样性随海拔梯度均没有表现出明显的变化趋势。     

鹤山湿地松人工林的群落结构与能量特征

在调查一个１０年生湿地松人工纯林的基础上,用林木收获法和相关生长法测定该群落的生物量和能量分配。结果表明：本群落组成种类少,结构简单,林分的生长中心也是其能量分布中心,群落的生物量和能量现存量分别为１０９０３ｔ／ｈｍ２和９５０５ＭＪ／ｍ２。这些值均低于同站７年生马占相思林,可以将该群落改造成针阔混交林,以提高林分的光能利用率。     

山西岚县皇姑梁小流域人工植物群落生态

应用双向指示种分析法（TWINSPAN）和除趋势对应分析（DCA）等数量分析方法,对山西岚县皇姑梁小流域人工植物群落生态关系进行研究,将该人工植被划分为12个群丛,分别位于不同的海拔高度和坡向。分类结果很好地反映了人工植物群落类型及优势种的分布与环境因子的关系,并在DCA二维排序图上得到了较好的验证。DCA排序轴反映了群落土壤含水量、坡向、海拔高度、人工植被恢复时间和物种多样性的梯度变化,表明土壤含水量、坡向、海拔高度、物种类型及其配置模式是影响人工植物群落分布和变化的主要环境因子,不同物种配置模式对群落演替和物种多样性变化有重要影响,油松＋华北落叶松．沙棘、小叶杨＋油松、油松-沙棘、油松-柠条锦鸡儿等组成的乔灌混交林的物种多样性高于柠条锦鸡儿灌木纯林,并且油松＋华北落叶松-沙棘混交林的物种多样性高于小叶杨＋油松混交林,混交林的生态恢复效果优于纯林,并且对该小流域的生态恢复作用明显。华北落叶松适合在该小流域海拔较高的梁坡顶、半阳坡、半阴坡和阴坡生长,小叶杨适合在其海拔较低的沟底、半阳坡和半阴坡生长,而油松、沙棘、柠条锦鸡儿的生态适应性强,可在其不同海拔和坡向生长。人工植物群落的演替进程,遵循地带性植物群落演替规律。随着群落演替,野生植物不断侵入,油松、华北落叶松、小叶杨等人工林郁闭度增加,沙棘、柠条锦鸡儿等逐渐退化,油松、华北落叶松、小叶杨等出现枯枝、死株现象,这是自然稀疏的结果,亟待加强管理。

Insect abundance in managed forests benefits from multi-layered vegetation

Retention forestry intends to promote biodiversity by retaining deadwood and tree-related microhabitats. Simultaneously, production forests undergo major structural changes by conversion into near-natural forests. As insect biomass is declining, it is important to understand how insect communities respond to management-related changes in forest structure. While some structural elements, such as deadwood, are studied extensively, three-dimensional forest structure is often neglected. Terrestrial laser scanning offers new approaches to quantify three-dimensional structure but their suitability has not been evaluated with field-based insect surveys.To test how insect communities respond to forest structure, we examined insects from window traps from 122 sites in the Black Forest. For total insect abundance and for the seven most abundant taxa, we related deadwood, microhabitats, various conventional stand properties and novel remote sensing-based indices for vegetation structure to total and taxon-specific abundances. Additionally, we assessed the influences of these structural elements on community composition.Total insect abundance and abundances of most taxa were positively related to multi-layered stands, as derived from remote sensing techniques. Furthermore, each taxon responded to some additional forest structural elements. Higher tree diameter, canopy gap fraction and share of deciduous trees increase abundances of the predominantly herbivorous taxa Heteroptera, Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha. Community composition was influenced by mean tree diameter and share of deciduous trees. Neither tree-related microhabitats nor deadwood diversity had a detectable effect on insect abundance.We conclude that more elements of forest structure than previously acknowledged are related to insect populations. In particular, multi-layered forest stands have higher insect abundances in the midstorey. The current conversion in continuous-cover forestry in Europe from even-aged, often conifer-dominated forests to uneven-aged, mixed species stands can therefore increase the abundance of a wide range of insect taxa and is possibly one strategy to halt insect decline in forests.     

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest

The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the “resource concentration hypothesis” the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse plant communities, thus limiting the exploitation of resources by consumers. In addition, the “natural enemy hypothesis” suggests that richer plant assemblages provide natural enemies with more complementary resources and habitats, thus promoting top down regulation of herbivores. We tested these two hypotheses by comparing crown damage by the invasive Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) on chestnut trees (Castanea sativa) in pure and mixed stands in Italy. We estimated the defoliation on 70 chestnut trees in 15 mature stands sampled in the same region along a gradient of tree species richness ranging from one species (chestnut monocultures) to four species (mixtures of chestnut and three broadleaved species). Chestnut defoliation was significantly lower in stands with higher tree diversity. Damage on individual chestnut trees decreased with increasing height of neighboring, heterospecific trees. These results suggest that conservation biological control method based on tree species mixtures might help to reduce the impact of the Asian chestnut gall.     

贺兰山不同林分凋落物微生物群落特征与影响因素

贺兰山是我国重要生态屏障,贺兰山生态森林生态系统保护受到极大关注,森林凋落物及土壤微生物对全球气候变化研究具有重要意义。目前,贺兰山不同林分的凋落物分解过程中微生物群落结构特征差异、不同凋落物化学组成对微生物群落结构的影响尚不清楚。以贺兰山具有代表性的3种林分（油松林、青海云杉林以及油松-山杨混交林）凋落物为研究对象,开展凋落物化学组成、微生物群落组成及多样性特征研究,揭示不同林分凋落物的优势微生物群落特征和影响因子。结果表明,3种林分凋落物的细菌和真菌在多个多样性指数之间差异性均不显著,但是在多样性指数中真菌PD whole tree指数显著大于细菌,真菌Shannon指数与Ghao1指数却显著小于细菌。在门水平上不同林分凋落物的微生物优势菌类无显著差异,但在属水平上差异显著,而且细菌差异小于真菌,在各个分类水平上,凋落物细菌和真菌群落组成均表现为油松-山杨混交林＜青海云杉林＜青海云杉林,凋落物微生物多样性在青海云杉林中最为丰富。细菌不同节点间连接线负相关数量略大于正相关,真菌则相反。油松林凋落物与其它林分凋落物相比,微生物群落之间联系更加紧密。油松林凋落物OC含量最大、青海云杉林凋落物的TK含量最大、油松-山杨混交林的TN含量最大,且在3种林分中显著差异。相关性分析表明OC、TN、TP、TK是影响凋落物细菌和真菌群落组成及多样性的主要因素,冗余分析表明不同林分凋落物的微生物多样性指数受养分影响,凋落物OC、TN、TP、TK是影响微生物群落组成和多样性的重要因素,其中OC与微生物群落多样性相关性最显著,是影响凋落物细菌和真菌群落组成和多样性最主要的因子。     

热带人工林的光能利用与生产量的研究

本文研究了电白县4种人工林的遮光度,叶面积指数和光合作用强度以及光合生产量,比较了各种人工林的生物生产量和光能利用效率。认为有多层多种结构的混交林具有良好的生态效益和经济效益,是今后营造人工林的方向。窿缘桉纯林虽然有很高的光合作用强度,但由于纯桉林缺少中下层植物,因此光能利用率和生产量都很低。白藤在不足全光照10％,益智在不足5％的光照下,仍然生长很好,它们都有很高的光能利用效率,分别是3.92％和4.11％,而且这两种植物都有一定经济价值,因此是营造多层多种混交林较理想的中下层植物。     

Winter bird communities in forest plantations in western England and their response to vegetation,growth stage and grazing

This paper presents the results of a study of wintering bird communities across a wide range of coniferous, broadleaved and mixed forest stands in the Forest of Dean, western England. Bird communities of broadleaved and coniferous woodland differed with respect to their species composition. The mean number of individual birds recorded increased linearly with woodland age and was not influenced by woodland type, stand size or the presence of grazing. Woodland age and type and the presence or absence of grazing all significantly influenced bird species richness and the proportions of the bird community made up by granivores, insectivores and omnivores. Broadleaved stands held more species than coniferous stands. Ungrazed stands held significantly more species, particularly seed-eating species, than grazed stands and this effect was independent of woodland type. Ordination was used to relate variation in tree species composition and stand structure to bird community composition. A larger number of species was associated with broadleaved stands and stands with abundant undergrowth than was associated with coniferous stands or stands with little undergrowth. Woodland age had less effect on bird community composition than the extent of undergrowth and the conifer to broadleaf ratio. The results of this work have relevance to the enhancement of winter bird communities in commercial forests.     

Structural crown properties of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica [L.]) in mixed versus pure stands revealed by terrestrial laser scanning

How tree morphology develops in mixed-species stands is essential for understanding and modelling mixed-stand dynamics. However, research so far focused on the morphological variation between tree species and neglected the variation within a species depending on intra- and interspecific competition. Our study, in contrast, addresses crown properties of nine mature Norway spruces (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) of a pure stand and compares them with ten spruces growing in mixture with European beech (Fagus sylvatica [L.]). The same was done with 11 pure stand beeches and 12 beeches growing in mixture with spruce. Through application of a terrestrial laser scanner and a new skeletonization approach, we deal with both species’-specific morphological traits such as branch angle, branch length, branch bending, crown volume and space occupation of branches within the crown, some of which were hardly accessible so far. Special attention is paid to distinct differences between trees growing in mixed and pure stands: for spruce, our study reveals significantly longer branches and greater crown volumes in the mixed stand when compared to the pure stand. In case of European beech, individuals growing in mixture show flatter branch angles, more distinct ramification, greater crown volumes and a lower share of a single branch’s space occupation in the total crown volume. The results show that the presented methods yield detailed information on the morphological traits analyzed in this study and that interspecific competition on its own may have a significant impact on crown structures. Implications for production ecology and stand dynamics of mixed-species forests are discussed.     

不同林龄杉木+闽楠复层林土壤磷形态及微生物功能多样性变化

磷是限制亚热带地区林木生长的关键因素之一,研究土壤微生物群落功能多样性对土壤磷素的影响,对亚热带地区人工林可持续经营具有重要意义。在江西官山林场选取了3种不同林龄杉木+闽楠（4 a、7 a、11 a）复层林为研究对象,测定了土壤全磷、有效磷及无机磷组分含量,采用Biolog-ECO法研究了复层林表土层（0-20 cm）土壤微生物群落对碳源的利用特征,并分析了土壤磷素与土壤微生物功能多样性的关系。结果表明：（1）土壤全磷、有效磷及无机磷组分含量随复层林营建时间延长呈增加趋势;（2）不同林分类型土壤微生物群落功能多样性差异显著。土壤微生物碳源代谢活性（AWCD）以及多样性指数也均随复层林营建时间延长呈增加趋势;多聚物类是杉木纯林土壤微生物利用的主要碳源,7 a复层林对碳水化合物、羧酸和酚酸的利用强度较大,11 a复层林对氨基酸、胺类、多聚物、羧酸和酚酸的利用强度较大,并且11 a复层林土壤微生物群落代谢碳水化合物、氨基酸、羧酸、胺类和酚酸的强度显著高于4 a复层林和杉木纯林,而4 a复层林与杉木纯林土壤微生物群落对不同碳源利用率的差异较小（除多聚物外）。（3）土壤微生物多样性指数、氨基酸类、胺类和酚酸类物质与土壤全磷、有效磷、Al-P和Fe-P含量之间显著正相关,随机森林模型分析表明,氨基酸、胺类和酚酸是不同林分类型土壤微生物利用的主要碳源。因此,杉木纯林转化为复层异龄林更有利于森林土壤磷的储存和供应,土壤微生物群落代谢功能多样性的增大可能是提高复层异龄林土壤磷有效性的关键调控因素。     

Crown development in Norway spruce [<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Picea abies </Emphasis>(L.) Karst.]

This study tests whether crown and stem development in Norway spruce could be described using a modified profile theory. 29 trees from three age-groups (25, 67, 86) with different treatments (unthinned, normally and intensively thinned) were destructively sampled. Crown ratio and crown length varied between age groups and treatments. Crown width was positively correlated with crown length, but branch length along the crown depended on tree age and growing space. Foliage mass density peaked at a relative crown height of 50–70% in middle-aged and mature stands, while young crowns were densest and widest at the base. Foliage mass was predictable from branch and stem cross-sectional area, provided the distance from the top was included. The ratio of foliage mass to branch cross-sectional area increased for 2–4 m down from the tip of the crown, then started to decrease. The relationship between cumulative foliage mass and stem cross-sectional area was non-linear along the stem in the upper crown, but the ratio of cumulative branch to stem cross-sectional area was linear. Trees in the mature and unthinned stands had more cross-sectional area in branches relative to stems than in the young and thinned stands. We conclude that the profile theory needs modification regarding (1) crown shape which varies with age and growing space, and (2) the ratio of foliage mass to branch area which varies along the stem. Both aspects emphasise the need to include impacts of disuse of sapwood pipes in models of crown and stem development.
