井冈山自然保护区栲属群落优势种群的种间联结关系研究

 采用2×2联列表,通过方差分析、χ2检验、联结系数AC值、Jaccard指数及点相关指数对井冈山栲属（Castanopsis）群落样地中出现频率较高的20个种群的种间联结进行了定量分析。结果表明：井冈山栲属群落20个优势种群的总体种间关联性呈显著正关联,反映该群落处于稳定的顶极阶段;20个优势种群的种间联结关系中10个种对具有极显著正联结,10个种对具有显著正联结,4个种对具有极显著负联结,8个种对具有显著负联结。190个种对中,绝大多数种对联结关系未达到显著水平,种对间的独立性相对较强,这种种间联结的松散性可能与目前群落的发展阶段及种本身的生态学特性有关。目前,群落处于比较稳定的顶极阶段。

金川泥炭地两个尺度下苔藓植物间及其与维管植物间的种间关系分析

在金川泥炭地设置1m×1m和25 cm ×25 cm两个尺度的大、小样方进行植被调查,并利用方差比率法、x2检验、Pearson相关分析和Spearman秩相关分析方法,定量分析了9种苔藓植物和30种主要维管植物间的种间关系.偏叶泥炭藓、大泥炭藓和尖叶泥炭藓3种优势苔藓植物彼此呈显著负关联,占领着各自不同的生境;该3种优势苔藓植物同伴生苔藓及维管植物主要呈正相关,形成独特的群落,据此划分出4个生态种组.Spearman秩相关分析表明,大样方741个种对中,正联结种对数占49.53％,明显大于小样方666个种对中的41.14％.样方大小对分析植物个体大小差异悬殊的泥炭地植物群落的种间联结的影响巨大.苔藓与维管植物间以及苔藓植物间的种间联结甚至种间关系应在大、小样方中分别探讨更合适.     

东灵山辽东栎林木本植物种间联结取样技术的研究

 在样地面积固定条件下,采用样方设计和样带设计,探讨了样方数目与面积之间的关系,以及样方数目与面积的变化对种间联结的影响。结果表明：正负关联比、平均物种出现率、多物种间X2值、物种对间X2值与显著率以及物种间联结系数的变化范围均可作为确定样方数目与面积的参数。在实际分析中应当综合考虑这些参数,进而选择最佳样方数目及面积进行种间联结分析。在样地总面积均为1 200 m2条件下,样带设计在各项指标上规律性比较明显,样方数为50,面积为25 m2最为合适;样方设计的各项参数稍差一些,需要进一步增加样方总面积才能得到更合适的样方数。分别按选定的最适样方数进行物种对联结性分析,对比分析结果显示样带设计对联结性和关联程度的检测效果好于样方设计,它的研究结果更与实际情况相符合。因此,在总样地面积有限的情况下,样带设计是进行种间联结分析的较好选择。

Are soil lichen communities structured by biotic interactions? A null model analysis

Question: Are soil lichen communities structured by biotic interactions? Location: Gypsum outcrops located next to Belmonte del Tajo, central Spain. Methods: We sampled a total of 68 (50 cm × 50 cm) plots in gypsum outcrops from central Spain. Each plot was divided into 100 (5 cm × 5 cm) sampling quadrats, and the presence of all lichen species in every quadrat was recorded (6800 quadrats in total). We used two realistic null models to generate random communities unstructured by biotic interactions, and used them to test the hypothesis that soil lichen species co‐occur less often than expected by chance. Results: We found fewer species combinations and less co‐occurrence than expected by chance. However, the latter result was dependent on the null model selected. The number of checkerboard pairs did not differ significantly from the null expectation. Conclusions: Overall, our results suggest that gypsiferous soil lichen communities are structured by competitive interactions. They are consistent with studies conducted with a wide variety of taxa, and fill a gap in our knowledge of the factors driving the small‐scale distribution of these important organisms.     

Sexual dimorphism and sex ratios of two Australian dioecious species of alpine pineapple grass, Astelia alpina var. novaehollandiae and Astelia psychrocharis (Asteliaceae)

Sexual dimorphism and male biased sex ratios have been predicted for dioecious plants experiencing the limited conditions for growth and reproduction found in many alpine environments. To test these predictions, the reproductive ecology of two congeneric, co-occurring, dioecious, clonal, species was examined in the subalpine and alpine zones of Kosciuszko National Park, southeastern Australia. Specifically, plant size (vegetative cover of plants in quadrats), floral display (number of flowers per inflorescence, number of inflorescences per quadrat) and sex ratios (proportion of females in quadrats with flowers) were examined in ten populations of Astelia psychrocharis (Asteliaceae) and nine populations of Astelia alpina var. novae-hollandiae (Asteliaceae). Sexual dimorphism did occur, with males having more flowers per inflorescence (106% more flowers for A.alpina males and 12% more for A.psychrocharis males compared to females) and more inflorescences per quadrat than females (78% more inflorescences for A.alpina males and 46% more inflorescences for A.psychrocharis males compared to females). Plant size did not differ between male and female quadrats of either species, nor were there male biased sex ratios. However, plant size was related to flowering status in A.psychrocharis with the 65 quadrats that did not flower having lower vegetative cover than the 175 flowering quadrats indicating that there may be a minimum size/ cover required prior to flowering in this species. For A.alpina, all but two of the 185 quadrats randomly sampled flowered. There was no effect of altitude on plant size and very little effect of altitude on floral display for either species, apart from a slight increase in the number of inflorescences per quadrat with increasing altitude for A.psychrocharis, and slight decrease in number of flowers per inflorescence with increasing altitude for A.alpina females.     

Spatial Pattern Analysis of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes

Spatial patterns of Meloidogyne incognita, Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, Helicotylenchus dihystera, and Criconemella ornata were analyzed using Hill''s two-term local quadrat variance method (TTLQV), spectral analysis, and spatial correlation. Data were collected according to a systematic grid sampling plan from seven tobacco fields in North Carolina. Different estimates of nematode cluster size were obtained through TTLQV and spectral analysis. No relationship was observed between either estimate and nematode species, time of sampling (spring vs. fall), or mean density. Cluster size estimates obtained from spectral analysis depended on sampling block size. For each species examined, spatial correlations among nematode population densities were greater within plant rows than across rows, indicating that clusters were ellipsoidal with long axes oriented along plant rows. Analysis of mean square errors indicated that significant gains in sampling efficiency resulted from orienting the long axis of sampling blocks across plant rows. Spatial correlation was greater in the fall than in spring and was greater among 1 × 1-m quadrats than among 3 × 3-m quadrats.

Small-scale species patterns and associations in an alvar limestone grassland on Öland, Sweden

This paper reports on the results of a transect analysis carried out in order to detect small-scale patterns ofAvenetum species in a limestone grassland on the Great Alvar on the Baltic island of Öland, Sweden. Three transects consisting of 500 10×10 cm quadrats were used. The cover and number of flowering stalks (if any) of the 21 most common species were recorded. In addition the total cover of vascular plants, cover of mosses and lichens, cover of cow dung and soil depth in each quadrat were recorded. Ellenberg indicator values for light, moisture, reaction and nitrogen were calculated for each quadrat as weighted averages of the values for the species included in the analysis. Patch size frequency analysis, PASFRAN, a new method for detecting patches and their sizes, revealed that 42% of all significant species patches detected had mean patch sizes (diameter) in the range of 26–50 cm, which matched the size of dung patches—49 cm in transect 1 and 30 cm in transect 2. Results of association analysis revealed correlations for several species pairs and between species and environmental factors with similar patch sizes. Combination of PASFRAN and association analysis is recommended as an effective method for pattern detection.

对崇明东滩南部盐沼植物群落样方进行调查,基于现有17种高等植物,特别是8种常见植物的2×2联列表和植被盖度值,利用方差比率法、χ²检验以及Spearman秩相关分析对物种关联性和相关性进行分析.结果表明: 方差比率(VR=0.61)的检验统计量W=48.61,落在 χ² 2个临界值区间之外,因此该区域盐沼植物群落内植物整体关联度表现为显著负相关;依据各优势植物对环境的适应方式和生境的主导因素,参考Spearman秩相关分析的结果,将它们划分为4个生态种组: 芦苇、糙叶苔草-藨草-水莎草、互花米草-海三棱藨草、白茅-稗草.崇明东滩南部盐沼植物群落种间关系复杂,群落表现极不稳定,植物对于环境影响较为敏感.在明确物种之间关系的基础上,针对海三棱藨草的分布现状提出了相应种群的保护措施和建议.     

Effects of canopy gaps on the genetic structure of Camellia japonica saplings in a Japanese old-growth evergreen forest

The genetic structure of Camellia japonica saplings was investigated in relation to canopy conditions in an old-growth evergreen forest in Tsushima, Japan. To elucidate effects of canopy gaps on genetic structure, a 1 ha study site was divided into 20 x 20 m quadrats, which were classified into a gap quadrats (GAP), closed canopy quadrats (CLS) and mixed quadrats. Five GAP quadrats and six CLS quadrats were analyzed separately. Isolation-by-distance was tested by examining the correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance. A significant positive correlation was detected for GAP quadrats, whilst that for CLS quadrats was significantly smaller and not significantly different from zero. On the other hand, an analysis using Moran's I spatial autocorrelation coefficients indicates that the genetic structure is weaker in GAP quadrats than in CLS quadrats in short distance classes. The values were significantly positive for both types of quadrat. These results, along with our field observations on flowering, suggest that canopy gaps affect the genetic structure of C. japonica saplings in two distinct ways. First, canopy gaps may promote flowering and mating in an isolation-by-distance manner within canopy gaps. Second, canopy gaps may promote seed production and resulting overlap in seed shadows may weaken fine-scale genetic structures.
