空间分子生态学——分子生态学与空间生态学相结合的新领域

分子标记、基因流、种群空间动态是当前生命科学研究中的热点领域。RFLPs、RAPDs、微卫星等新的分子标记的不断涌现,促进了这些领域的飞速发展。对种群空间动态研究中的等级岛屿模型、距离隔离模型、脚踏石模型、集合种群模型等方面许多令人瞩目的进展做了介绍。同时还介绍了遗传距离、基因流及其测度、基因突变模型、3S技术、空间精确性种群模型和基因频率的空间自相关等热点领域。最后,就空间分子生态学存在的问题与前景进行了讨论,指出了空间分子生态学可能的发展方向。     

生态空间理论与景观异质性

概述生态空间理论的若干主要方面：尺度、空间格局、景观异质性、镶嵌与生态交错带以及干扰与景观动态等。生态空间理论是景观评价,管理和生态规划的重要基础,对于区域可持续发展和生物多样性保护等方面的研究都具有重要的指导意义。

水位和氮浓度对三江藨草幼苗生长和生物量分配的影响

以莫莫格国家级自然保护区常见植物三江藨草(Scirpus nipponicus)为研究对象,设置低(5 cm)、中(35 cm)、高(65 cm) 3个水位和低(4 mmol·L-1)、中(8 mmol·L-1)、高(12mmol·L-1) 3个氮浓度交互的室内控制实验,探究不同水位和氮浓度对湿地植物三江藨草幼苗生长及生物量分配的影响。结果表明:水位对三江藨草幼苗生长、生物量及其分配均产生显著影响(P<0.05),随着水位的升高,三江藨草株高增加,分株数、球茎数及根生物量降低,根茎、球茎、地下、地上和总生物量均呈先增加后降低的趋势;植株地上生物量分配增加,地下(包括根和球茎)生物量分配降低;氮浓度仅对植株株高、球茎数以及地下与地上部分的生物量分配有显著影响(P<0.05),对分株数及生物量的累积均无显著影响(P>0.05);综合三江藨草幼苗的生长特征和生物量累积,认为其生长的最适宜水位为35 cm;且低水位有利于植株对氮的吸收,高水位和高氮浓度限制植株的生长。

中国生态学期刊现状分析

通过对我国12种主要生态学期刊的出版指标、引用指标和网络传播能力的现状分析,得出《生态学报》、《应用生态学报》、《植物生态学报》和《生态学杂志》已经成为我国生态学期刊的第一方阵,出版能力和引用表现都要优于其他期刊,但是期刊特色不明显。生态学期刊已经不能满足生态学快速发展的需要,应该有新的期刊来承载新生分支学科的内容,同时生态学期刊需要进一步加强网络传播能力的建设。最重要的是生态学期刊应该从散落在其他学科的状态中聚集起来形成生态学期刊集群。

水盐变化对荒漠植物功能多样性与物种多样性关系的影响

研究植物功能多样性与物种多样性关系对土壤水盐环境的响应规律,有助于掌握胁迫环境下植物多样性的维持机理.本研究分析了艾比湖高、低土壤水盐环境下荒漠植物功能多样性、物种多样性差异及二者间关系在不同水盐环境下的变化规律.结果表明:(1)高水盐环境下植物功能离散度显著低于低水盐环境(P<0.05),物种多样性指数Fish-α显著高于低水盐环境;(2)一元与多元回归分析均表明,高水盐环境下物种多样性对功能多样性RaoQ与FRic指数有显著促进作用,低水盐环境下物种多样性对功能多样性和均匀度有显著促进作用,但对功能离散度具有显著抑制作用(P<0.05);(3)物种多样性对功能多样性的影响在低水盐环境下更显著,预测力更强;(4)功能丰富度、离散度与均匀度能较敏感地反映出荒漠植物功能多样性对水盐变化的响应.本研究有助于理解荒漠植物群落构建机制,并为荒漠植物恢复与管理提供理论参考.
