观光木(Tsoongiodendronodorum)是木兰科的古老残遗物种,目前正面临严峻的生存威胁,属于极小种群濒危植物。通过生态位模型(ENM)能够重建观光木地理分布格局的历史变迁,探究气候变化对该物种分布的影响,并了解其地理分布与气候需求间的关系,从而为全球变暖背景下观光木的保护提供理论基础。该文基于96条现代分布记录和8个环境变量,采用最大熵(MaxEnt)模型模拟观光木在末次盛冰期、全新世中期、现代和未来(2061–2080年,RCP8.5)的潜在分布区,利用SDM toolbox分析观光木的地理空间变化,并综合贡献率、置换重要值和Jackknife检验来评估气候因子的重要性。研究结果表明:(1)观光木的高度适生区在南岭地区,末次盛冰期时没有大尺度向南退缩,很可能在山区避难所原地存活;(2)在全新世中期和未来两个增温的气候情境下,观光木的分布区均表现为缩减,其中未来分布的减幅更大,表明气候变暖对观光木的生长有一定的负面影响;(3)总体上看,观光木各个时期的地理分布范围相对稳定,说明观光木对气候变化有一定的适应能力,人为活动或自身繁育问题可能是致濒的重要原因,并建议对广东和广西群体进行优先保护。 相似文献

通过对云南异龙湖4.56 m沉积岩芯进行X射线荧光光谱分析(XRF),结合13个AMS14C测年结果,获得了高分辨率元素地球化学序列。异龙湖岩芯中元素的因子分析显示,F1因子揭示了沉积地球化学元素的来源,其正载荷代表了流域外源物质输入加强,而负载荷则指示了湖泊自生碳酸盐沉淀的增加,F2因子指示了湖泊氧化还原状态,F3因子可能与人类活动有关。在此基础上结合磁化率、矿物组成及有机质含量等指标,对异龙湖沉积环境演化过程进行探讨。结果表明,在末次盛冰期期间(26000—17000 cal. yr. BP),区域气候特征是气温低、降水少;在17000—14500 cal. yr. BP期间,异龙湖经历了显著的干旱气候,可能与亚洲夏季风突然减弱有关; 14500—9000 cal. yr. BP,异龙湖经历了显著的高湖面阶段,与滇池高水位时期基本一致,表明流域降水丰沛,外源物质输入增加; 9000—6000 cal. yr. BP期间,区域温度增加导致流域干旱化加剧,此阶段与西南地区全新世大暖期(全新世适宜期)相对应; 6000 cal. yr. BP以后外援物质输入锐减可能指示了区域降水的降低。异龙湖地球化学沉积记录揭示的环境演变过程与区域气候环境变化具有一致性,也具有明显的特殊性。 相似文献

Aims Quercus chenii is a representative species of the flora in East China, with high ecological and economic values. Here, we aim to simulate the changes in the distribution pattern of this tree species following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and to explore how climatic factors constrain the potential distribution, so as to provide scientific basis for protection and management of the germplasm resources in Q. chenii.
Methods Based on 55 presence point records and data on eight environmental variables, we simulated the potential distribution of Q. chenii during the Last Glacial Maximum, mid-Holocene, present and the year 2070 (the scenario of greenhouse gas emission is Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5) with MaxEnt model. The novel climate area and main factors influencing the changes in distribution pattern were evaluated by multivariate environmental similarity surface analysis and the most dissimilar variable analysis. The importance of environmental variables was evaluated by percent contribution, permutation importance and Jackknife test. Response curves were used to estimate the suitable value range of each variable.
Important findings The accuracy of MaxEnt model is very high, as indicated by the value of the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 0.9869 ± 0.0045. The highly suitable region for the present distribution covers southern Anhui, western Zhejiang, northeastern Jiangxi and eastern Hubei. The main factors affecting the potential distribution of Q. chenii are temperature and precipitation, with the former being more important. Mean temperature of the driest quarter is likely the main factor restricting Q. chenii growing in the north. During the LGM, the East China Sea Shelf occurs as the highly suitable region for the distribution of Q. chenii. In the mid-Holocene, the outline of the suitable area for the distribution of Q. chenii is similar to the present. The potential distribution region will likely move northward and experience an area expansion under the climate condition in 2070. At that time, climate anomaly will also be most severe compared to the LGM, mid-Holocene and present. Temperature seasonality and precipitation seasonality may be the main climatic factors promoting changes in the distribution pattern of Q. chenii. 相似文献

研究人工林径向生长与气候变化的关系对全球气候变暖背景下人工林合理经营有着重要的意义。该文对在辽东山区广泛栽培的黄花落叶松(Larix olgensis)和日本落叶松(Larix kaempferi)人工林, 运用树木年轮气候学方法建立了辽宁草河口和湾甸子林场落叶松人工林年表, 分析了落叶松径向生长对气候变化的响应以及气候条件、树种、立地条件和林分因子(林龄、密度、蓄积量等)的相对影响程度。结果发现在影响年轮-气候关系的因素中, 气象因子的潜在蒸发散(PET)的影响力最大; 林龄、密度和蓄积量同时也具有重要的影响作用。中龄落叶松人工林径向生长主要与气温呈正相关关系, 成熟落叶松人工林径向生长主要与气温呈负相关关系; 而其他因素, 如树种、立地条件等的影响作用不大。这表明在气候变暖背景下随着林龄增加, 林分会逐渐受到气温升高导致的水分亏缺的限制, 导致明显的生长下降趋势, 因而气候变暖对成熟落叶松人工林威胁更为严重, 所以要注重对成熟林的优先保护, 同时可以预测, 随着东北地区今后气候进一步变暖, 可能将逐步影响到林龄更小的林分的生长, 因此需要进一步研究如何在落叶松人工林经营中采取科学的措施来更好地应对未来气候变化。 相似文献

全球气候变暖背景下, 西南地区气候呈现出明显的暖干化特征, 但区域优势树种云南松(Pinus yunnanensis)对气候暖干化的响应存在不确定性。该研究根据树木年代学方法选择研究区域87株云南松样本进行树芯采集, 构建云南松树轮年表, 结合1952-2016年的气温和降水等气象资料, 利用响应分析、多元回归分析以及滑动相关分析等方法研究了影响南盘江流域云南松径向生长的关键气候因子及其对气候暖干化的响应规律。研究结果表明: 1985年以来, 研究区域气候暖干化特征明显, 气温上升和降水量下降的速率是1984年前的5和6倍, 年平均气温、年平均最高气温、年平均最低气温的上升速率为0.044、0.041和0.050 ℃·a -1, 年降水量的下降速率为 6.02 mm·a -1。气候暖干化使云南松的生长对温度响应的敏感度降低, 对水分响应的敏感度增强, 气温的解释率由暖干化前的44.95%下降到21.97%, 水分的解释率由暖干化前的55.05%上升到78.03%。暖干化增强了当年气候因子对径向生长的影响, 减弱了上年气候因子的影响, 与径向生长显著相关的当年气候因子增加了3个, 当年气候因子对径向生长的解释率增加了16.05%。暖干化减弱了云南松生长的“滞后效应”, 气候变化对树木生长影响的时效性增强。在5-7月和9-11月, 气候变暖使径向生长与气温、水分的响应关系变得不稳定。该研究可为气候暖干化区域云南松林的经营、管理以及区域气候重建提供理论依据和基础数据。 相似文献

Ecological niche models (ENM) have been used to reconstruct potential distributions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)—or other time periods—and this use is increasingly common in zoological studies. For this reason, we urgently need understanding factors affecting these predictions. Here, we examine how the use of different Global Circulation Models (GCMs) affects the variability in species' potential distributions during the LGM and how the degree of model extrapolation and its associated uncertainty depends on the GCM used. We develop these issues using two North American shrews, Notiosorex crawfordi and Cryptotis alticola, inhabiting two environmentally different regions. First, we compared paleoclimates in these two regions simulated by three GCMs: Community Climate System Model (CCSM), Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), and the Max‐Planck‐Institute für Meteorologie model (MPI). Then, we used maxent to estimate the LGM potential distribution of these two mammals under the three GCMs to assess the spatial variability and extrapolation uncertainty associated with idiosyncrasies of GCM. MIROC estimated noticeably more different climatic conditions than CCSM and MPI in the study areas during the LGM, and its pattern of environmental conditions was distributed differently. The MIROC scenario suggested a remarkable different prediction of potential distribution for both species, being more dramatic for the high mountain shrew, C. alticola. In particular, climatic differences among GCMs resulted in differences in the factors that limit and drive the potential distribution of the species during the LGM. Equally dramatic was the disagreement of extrapolation areas among GCMs. MIROC showed a greater number of pixels where extrapolation is required in both regions. Our findings should be taken into consideration when identifying areas of endemism, dynamic geographic barriers, and glacial refugia. When projecting into alternative scenarios of LGM climate, the idiosyncrasies of each GCM should be explicitly taken into account. 相似文献

The present study aimed to understand how Anatolian ground squirrels, Spermophilus xanthoprymnus (Bennett, 1835), have responded to global climate changes through the Late Quaternary glacial–interglacial cycles. Accordingly, ecological niche modelling was used, together with molecular phylogeography. Using species occurrence data compiled from field observations and relevant sources and the maximum entropy machine learning algorithm in MAXENT, an ecological niche model was developed to predict the potential geographical distribution of S. xanthoprymnus under reconstructed past (the Last Interglacial, approximately 130 000–116 000 years ago and the Last Glacial Maximum, 21 000 years ago) and present (1950–2000) bioclimatic conditions. In addition, using cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA sequences deposited in GenBank and the Bayesian skyline plot in BEAST, demographic events (population fluctuations) were further assessed over the history of Anatolian ground squirrels. Combined ecological niche modelling and molecular phylogeography revealed that S. xanthoprymnus, itself also a temperate (mid‐latitude) species, has responded to global climate changes through the Late Quaternary glacial–interglacial cycles in a fashion converse to that of most temperate (mid‐latitude) species: its range expanded rather than contracted during the glacial periods and contracted rather than expanded during the interglacial periods. In other words, Anatolian ground squirrels have been in refugia during the interglacial periods, suggesting that the classical paradigm of glacial range contraction and interglacial range expansion for temperate species may not be as general as previously assumed. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 109 , 19–32. 相似文献

Studying shifts in species diversity through time and space is an essential component of many aspects of biogeography and ecology. In this study, we predict the potential distribution of 61 species of African estrildid finches in order to assess current and past diversity patterns. Models were projected onto two climatic scenarios (Community Climate System Model, CCSM, and Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate, MIROC) representing past climate conditions, as might be expected during the Last Glacial Maximum 21 000 years BP. Subsequent overlays of the resulting potential distributions were conducted under different dispersal assumptions and compared with expert maps. Our results suggest highly similar current distribution patterns obtained by both methods. Projections onto Pleistocene scenarios showed similar patterns, with only small differences under limited and unlimited dispersal assumptions. Looking separately at diversity patterns predicted for forest and savannah species, diversity hot spots of forest species under MIROC conditions were consistent with suggested forest refugia, but were inconsistent under CCSM conditions. According to our models, savannah species were more widely distributed during the cooler and drier conditions of the Pleistocene. By using ecological niche models we show that current diversity patterns of a whole species group may have changed only slightly since the Pleistocene, suggesting a pattern of general spatial stability. However, we emphasize the importance of using different climatic scenarios as well as including the supposed dispersal of organisms in the modelling, as these factors influence results on a broad scale. © 2011 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 102 , 455–470. 相似文献

There is an urgent need for more ecologically realistic models for better predicting the effects of climate change on species’ potential geographic distributions. Here we build ecological niche models using MAXENT and test whether selecting predictor variables based on biological knowledge and selecting ecologically realistic response curves can improve cross‐time distributional predictions. We also evaluate how the method chosen for extrapolation into nonanalog conditions affects the prediction. We do so by estimating the potential distribution of a montane shrew (Mammalia, Soricidae, Cryptotis mexicanus) at present and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Because it is tightly associated with cloud forests (with climatically determined upper and lower limits) whose distributional shifts are well characterized, this species provides clear expectations of plausible vs. implausible results. Response curves for the MAXENT model made using variables selected via biological justification were ecologically more realistic compared with those of the model made using many potential predictors. This strategy also led to much more plausible geographic predictions for upper and lower elevational limits of the species both for the present and during the LGM. By inspecting the modeled response curves, we also determined the most appropriate way to extrapolate into nonanalog environments, a previously overlooked factor in studies involving model transfer. This study provides intuitive context for recommendations that should promote more realistic ecological niche models for transfer across space and time. 相似文献

Recent studies have increasingly implicated deep (pre-Pleistocene) events as key in the vertebrate speciation, downplaying the importance of more recent (Pleistocene) climatic shifts. This work, however, has been based almost exclusively on evidence from molecular clock inferences of splitting dates. We present an independent perspective on this question, using ecological niche model reconstructions of Pleistocene Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) potential distributions for the Thrush-like Mourner (Schiffornis turdina) complex in the neotropics. LGM distributional patterns reconstructed from the niche models relate significantly to phylogroups identified in previous molecular systematic analyses. As such, patterns of differentiation and speciation in this complex are consistent with Pleistocene climate and geography, although further testing will be necessary to establish dates of origin firmly and unambiguously. 相似文献
