热带雨林的孢粉垂直分布规律——以海南岛现代孢粉雨为例

热带地区环境变化对研究全球气候变化显得越来越重要,热带地区的古环境记录,特别是孢粉记录是恢复过去气候的重要方法,东亚热带地区在冰期－间冰期的气候影响下,生态环境主要表现为山地植被带的垂直升降,因此,定量恢复热带地区第四纪植被垂直移动的幅度,以及作为古气候的替代性指标进行数量化转换是热带地区孢粉研究的关键,然而,我国热带地区现代孢粉雨和植被的关系研究程度较低,给热带第四纪孢粉古生态的恢复和对比带来困难,本研究较系统地总结了海南岛从低地平原到五指山1860m的垂直植被带表土的孢粉散布规律,为热带地区孢粉古环境的重建提供了新的基础数据。研究结果表明,孢粉组合的变化与垂直植被带紧密相关,孢粉的多样性随海拔升高而降低,其中针叶类随海拔升高而增加,蕨类孢子则相应减少,在低地和低山丘陵,孢粉组合显示出为干扰的影响,如防风雨的主要树种木麻黄（Casuarina),行道树台湾相思（Acacia richii)和人为砍伐后大面积生长的芒箕（Dicranopteris)群落等在一些孢粉谱中特别高,尽管如此,孢粉组合反映的垂直植被带变化仍然是清楚的,海南岛由下至上可划分出5个表土孢粉组合带－低地人类强烈干扰带（＜400m):Mallotus,Casuarina,Pinus,Myrica,Palmae,Poaceaae,Dicranopteris:--低地质陵地带（400－800m):Quercus,Castanopsis,Mallotus,Myrica,Platea,Meliaceae和大量孢子（包括Dicranopteris);--山地下带（800-1200m):Castanopsis,Quercus,Podocarpus,Dacrydium,Cyathea和单缝孢子;－－山地上带（1200-1600m):Dacrydium,Pinus,Altingia,Quercus,Castanopsis;－－山顶带（＞1600m):Pinus,Rhododendron,Dacrydium,Symplocos.     

海南岛坝王岭热带山地雨林陆均松-线枝蒲桃群系的区系特点

初步探讨了海南坝王岭自然保护区热带山地雨林的代表群落类型即陆均松－线枝蒲桃群系的种子植物区系组成及其地理分布特点。此群落含有61科、137属、326种,热带分布特别是热带－亚洲分布的成分占有明显优势,其次是泛热带分布,热带性很强,中国特有的分布的种属所占比例极低。单、寡种属极为丰富是该地区植物区系组成的另一特点。     

海南岛新生代种子植物区系科的多样性分析

根据化石及现代植物资料,海南岛第三纪种子植物有53科,其中古近纪已出现48科,新近纪降至25科,第四纪晚期有89科,现代增加至233科.区系地理成分分析结果表明,海南岛古近纪时,泛热带科占当时科总数的45.8%,热带-亚热带科占8.3%,亚热带-温带科占31.3%,其中出现了很多海南岛现代植物区系的表征科,如冬青科、壳斗科、金缕梅科、樟科、桃金娘科、罗汉松科、棕榈科、红树科、梧桐科和松科等,基本形成了现代海南岛植物区系的雏形.新近纪时由于全球气候变冷,本区植物区系组成大幅度减少,热带性质也明显减弱,其中泛热带分布的科仅占当时海南岛植物区系全部科的32.0%,热带-亚热带分布的科占12.0%,而亚热带-温带分布的科所占比例有所升高,达36.0%.第四纪晚期至现代,随着气候逐渐回暖,本区植物区系的热带性质逐渐加强.第四纪晚期泛热带科占当时科总数的49.4%,热带-亚热带科占12.4%,亚热带-温带科占19.1%,区系特征逐渐接近现代.现代海南种子植物区系中,泛热带分布科占科总数48.1%,热带-亚热带科占18.9%,亚热带-温带科占15.9%.总体上,海南岛第三纪早期的古近纪、第四纪晚期一直到现代均以泛热带分布的科占优势,而第三纪晚期的新近纪本区植物区系的热带性质较弱.整体上反映出海南岛新生代种子植物区系的演变特征与古近纪以来全球气候的变化有密切的联系.     

海南和台湾蕨类植物多样性及其大陆性特征

海南和台湾是我国南部和东部两个最重要的大陆性岛屿,具有极为丰富的蕨类植物多样性。特有现象揭示着植物区系和植物多样性的历史,间断分布揭示着与邻近或相关植物区系的联系;特别是在岛屿地区,这种现象和意义尤其明显。海南有蕨类植物区系55科、135属、466种,其中特有种有32种,台湾蕨类植物区系57科、142属、599种,其中特有种达66种。在海南与台湾两地,有共有属104属,共有种仅有176种。台湾海峡出现始于晚白垩世,持续至第四纪;琼州海峡出现于早第四纪,因此,两地的特有现象远少于种子植物(台湾有801种,海南有501种),原因与蕨类植物具有更广的散布性相关,而且在被子植物中起重要作用的物种生物学障碍(机制)在蕨类是缺乏的;形态学的、生殖生物学特征导致蕨类植物具有较缓慢的物种演化历史和较低的灭绝率(Smith,1972)。海南和台湾蕨类植物区系的比较还表明,地理位置和海拔高度对植物区系的物种分化和物种多样性产生了极大的影响。     

论中国海南岛的生物地理起源

当前海南岛植物区系以热带分布的科和属占绝对优势,在属的地理成分上热带亚洲分布属的比例最高,显示出它是一个热带性质的植物区系,并具有热带亚洲亲缘。在海南植物区系中,仅有7个特有属和约10%的特有种,极低的特有性显示了它具有明显的大陆起源特征。通过比较研究发现,中国海南植物区系与越南植物区系关系最密切,其次是广西植物区系。在哺乳动物上,也显示出与植物区系类似的生物地理格局,中国海南与越南的联系最密切。古植物学研究揭示海南岛在始新世时曾具有亚热带性质的植物区系和亚热带气候,处在比现今更北的位置。古地磁学研究揭示在中生代时期海南岛连接着越南和中国广西,处于比现在高5~6个纬度的位置。综合各方面的研究,我们从生物地理的角度提出中国海南岛在始新世时曾连接着越南和中国广西,后来发生了向东南移动和旋转,最终到达现在的位置。

Biogeographical Evidences Help Revealing the Origin of Hainan Island

Both the continental or island origin of Hainan, and the Indo-Malaysian or East Asian affinity of its flora, are debatable. In this study, 196 families, 1283 genera and 3894 species of Hainan plants were recognized. Patterns of seed plant distribution were quantified at the generic and the family levels. The floras of Vietnam, and the adjacent Guangxi and Guangdong provinces of mainland China, were compared with Hainan. The results showed that the flora of Hainan Island is dominated by families and genera with tropical distributions. Among its floristic elements, tropical Asian distributions make up 23.85% of the total flora, while East Asian distributions contribute only 3.74%. There are only 7 genera and c. 10% of species endemic to Hainan Island. The Hainan flora has strong similarities to the flora of Vietnam at the family and the generic levels, and also to the flora of Guangxi, but less with the adjacent Guangdong province. The main conclusions are: Hainan’s flora is tropical in nature with a strongly tropical Asian affinity, and it has very low endemism at the generic and species levels, which implies a continental origin. We conjecture that Hainan Island could have been adjacent to northern Vietnam and the Guangxi at least in Eocene. This suggestion is supported by palaeobotanical, palaeomagnetic and volcanism studies.     

海南岛淡水龟类区系特点及保护优先性分析

海南岛是我国淡水龟类分布较为集中、物种丰富度高、动物区系独特的地区,已知的淡水龟有2科8属11种,占全国淡水龟种数(24种)的46％。海南岛淡水龟物种密度为3．2种／10^4km^2,均为东洋界成分,其中华南区种4种,占36．4％;华中-华南区共有的种7种,占63．6％;海南特有种2种,占岛内淡水龟种数的18．2％。海南岛淡水龟占华南地区淡水龟种数(19种)的57．9％。海南与广东、广西和香港的淡水龟类区系关系也十分密切,与它们的生物相似值分别为0．76、0．64和0．47。目前,中国75％的淡水龟类濒危,海南岛81．8％的淡水龟类濒危。分析表明,海南岛应是我国淡水龟类资源优先保育的地区。     

海南岛第三纪沉积环境与古植物群落的多样性及其变迁

海南岛第三纪沉积类型及古植物群落复杂多样,早第三纪主要为河湖泊,湖泊相和湖沼相等沉积,晚期发生海侵,开始出现海陆交相沉积;古植物群落主要有：温带山地针叶林和落叶阔叶林,亚热带常绿和落叶阔叶林,晚晚开始出现红树林,总体属温暖湿珠亚热带气候,晚第三纪海侵加大,沉积为型为滨海相,滨海－浅海相,浅海相及深水广海相等海相沉积,在滨海地区红树林面积大大增加,盆地中心平原地上展为低地热带雨林,总体属炎热潮湿的热带气候,但在海南岛西部和西北部仍发育有山地雪松和云杉林,上新世时植被类型逐渐接近现今当地的面貌,深入研究本区第三纪古环境与古植物群落的变迁对海南岛现代生物多样性形成机制的研究具有重要意义。     

Oligocene palynoflora in the northern part of South China sea

In the northern part of South China Sea, including Tonkin Gulf, Hainan Island, Leizhou Peninsula and some basins of Guangdong Province, Oligocene deposits are composed of motley, mainly grey, greyish green and dark red clay and sandstone, containing very rich pollen and spores. Most of them are of the components which exsisted in Tertiary, particularly in Oligocene deposits of Northern America and Eurasia, such as Gothanipollis paichanensis Ke & Shi, Ulmus granopollenites Rouse, Symplocos scabropollinia Traverse, Engelhardtia spackmaniana Traverse, etc. At the same time some important Oligocene and Early Miocene pollen types of Borneo are found there, such as Crassoretitriletes vanraadshooveni Germeraad & al., Florschuetzia semilobata Germeraad & al., F. trilobata Germeraad & al., Magnastriatites howardi Germeraad & al., Jandufouria seamrogiformis Germeraad & al., Verrucatosporites usmansis (Hammen) Germeraad & al., Margocolporites vanwijhci Germeraad & al., Psilatricolporites operculatus Hammen & Wymstra, Monoporites annulatus Hammen and Zonocostites sp., etc. On the other hand in Oligocene palynoflora of Borneo there appear pollen types assigned to temperate plants or mountain plants of northern hemispherae (Pinus, Picea, Tsuga, Ephedra and Alnus), which are found in abundence in Oligocene palynoflara of the investigated area particularly in Late Oligocene. All of this indicats that the palynoflora of the Northern part of South China Sea was closely related with that of Borneo in Oligocene. This similarity of palynofloras in the two localities may be due to the geographycal proximity of Borneo to the main land of Asia. In paleoecological aspect, we have found there is plenty of pollen and spores of land and fresh water plants, while those reflecting marine and coastal enviroments (Rhizophora and Sonneratia) are rather scanty. This shows that in Oligocene period the investigated area was a land. Tonkin Gulf along with Hainan Island and Leizhou Peninsula formed an inland depression at that time. Abundant pollen of mountain plants and temperate plants indicats, that there weremountains in or around the area of interest.     

The Tertiary Vegetation and Flora and Floristic Regions in China

The development or adaptation radiation of angiosperms has been closely related to the paleoclimate and paleoenvironment. Several environmental factors, influencing each other, have affected the evolution or development of angiosperms, which falls into different stages. The lines between these stages are not consistent with the traditional geological ages. Floristic regionalization might be better based on the stages of the development. Angiosperms have become important or dominant elements in the flora since the middle and late period of the Late Cretaceous. The development of angiosperms may be divided into four stages: (1) Initial stage: The angiosperms were not yet well established during the Early Cretaceous. The number of species and individuals was limited, the leaf small, mostly with entire margine, irregular venation and poor differentiation of venation; (2) Flourished stage: The angiosperms increased dramatically and became abundant. The leaf was larger with more regular venation and the differentiation of venation was remarkable. The percentage of angiosperms was from 40%-60% in the flora, and eventually arose, becoming predominant, with important families well presented. This was probably from the Late Cretaceous to the Early Tertiary; (3) Herbs-Flourished stage: Some of woody plants were extinct, while herbs greatly increased, because of the changes in climate, sea level and mountain uplift during the Neogene period; (4)Quaternary stage: The mountain glacier in China, influenced by global glacial-interglacial alternation due to the climatic fluctuation, advanced and regressed during the Quaternary. The climatic fluctuation apparently affected the distribution of plants. But the components of the flora were similar to or slightly different from the features of the present one. The aim of the present paper is to discuss the floristic regions at the second and third stages. The Late Cretaceous-Early Tertiary stage: A. The Late Cretaceous-Paleogene flora of northern China 1. Warm-temperate to subtropical deciduous broad-leaved and conifer forests in North and Northeastern China 2. Dry subtropical flora of Northwestern and Central China B. Southern China Late Cretaceous-Paleogene flora 3. Deciduous and evergreen forests with coniferous elements in the subtropical coastal region of east China 4. Evergreen forests of South China 5. Evergreen forests of lower mountains in the Tethys The Neogene stage-Herbs-flourished stage: 1. Temperate forests and grasslands to semidesert-desert floras of northwestern China; 2. Warm temperate deciduous forests of north and northeastern China; 3. Warm temperate to subtropical deciduous and evergreen forests of central and east China; 4. Evergreen forests of the subtropical and tropics mangrove vegetation of south China; 5. Subtropical evergreen and deciduous forests on the Yunnan and Xizang plateau.

Coupling Genetic and Species Distribution Models to Examine the Response of the Hainan Partridge (Arborophila ardens) to Late Quaternary Climate

Understanding the historical dynamics of animal species is critical for accurate prediction of their response to climate changes. During the late Quaternary period, Southeast Asia had a larger land area than today due to lower sea levels, and its terrestrial landscape was covered by extensive forests and savanna. To date, however, the distribution fluctuation of vegetation and its impacts on genetic structure and demographic history of local animals during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are still disputed. In addition, the responses of animal species on Hainan Island, located in northern Southeast Asia, to climate changes during the LGM are poorly understood. Here, we combined phylogeographic analysis, paleoclimatic evidence, and species distribution models to examine the response of the flightless Hainan Partridge (Arborophila ardens) to climate change. We concluded that A. ardens survived through LGM climate changes, and its current distribution on Hainan Island was its in situ refuge. Range model results indicated that A. ardens once covered a much larger area than its current distribution. Demographic history described a relatively stable pattern during and following the LGM. In addition, weak population genetic structure suggests a role in promoting gene flow between populations with climate-induced elevation shifts. Human activities must be considered in conservation planning due to their impact on fragmented habitats. These first combined data for Hainan Partridge demonstrate the value of paired genetic and SDMs study. More related works that might deepen our understanding of the responses of the species in Southeast Asia to late Quaternary Climate are needed.     

新生代全球变化与中国古植物区系的演变

新生代是地质历史最年轻的一个时代 ,当时全球板块运动和岩浆活动强烈而频繁 ,中生代开始的大陆漂移活动继续进行 ,并于早第三纪末开始喜马拉雅运动 ,古地中海逐渐封闭 ,经过一系列的板块碰撞和洋底扩张 ,晚第三纪时地壳构造的基本轮廓和古地理面貌逐渐接近现代。受地壳运动的控制 ,全球新生代气候波动明显 ,早第三纪总体比较温暖 ,晚第三纪气候发生明显分异 ,气温显著下降 ,第三纪末期开始有冰川活动 ,一直持续到更新世末期 ,期间发生多次冰期和间冰期 ,全新世气候逐渐转暖。受上述全球变化的影响 ,我国新生代植物区系纵向演变和横向分异明显 ,早第三纪植物区系主要是纬向分带 ,从古新世到渐新世 ,我国植物区系主要分为北方区和南方区 ;晚第三纪初 ,由于喜马拉雅运动使青藏高原及东部的横断山脉地区持续抬升 ,逐渐形成独立的高原植物区。总体来说 ,晚第三纪植物区系和植被类型逐渐接近现代。第四纪由于青藏高原继续强烈抬升 ,激发了东亚季风 ,使我国的植物区系经向分带更加明显 ,植物区系和植被类型与现代已基本一致 ,到了全新世晚期 ,植物区系的演变除了受全球变化的影响外 ,人类活动的作用也越来越明显     

南海岛屿种子植物区系地理的研究

本文通过实地考察,广泛收集前人的研究资料,概述了南海岛屿地区的自然条件和植被,对南海岛屿种子植物的区系组成、特点、分布区类型、特有现象和替代现象等进行了较详细的分析,并与邻近植物区系进行了比较研究。同时,根据区内植物分布的特点和自然条件特征划分为５个植物区系小区,最后对南海岛屿地区植物区系的起源与演化进行了讨论。     

中国西南地区与台湾种子植物间断分布现象

中国西南地区和台湾植物的间断分布是东亚生物地理学上一个十分有趣的研究课题。该文对种子植物进行了统计,发现有50属具有该分布式样的种对或种（包括变种和亚种）;30属呈台-琼（至粤南）-西南间断分布,而其中大多数类群的分布区在粤南-桂南-滇南,即中国热带线以南。统计结果显示,有41属被子植物在台湾和西南之间呈连续分布;有35属从台湾分布至海南（和/或华南）或至福建（和华南）。中国台湾和大陆之间类群的连续分布,以及两者植物区系的巨大相似性表明,台湾作为大陆性岛屿,与中国大陆曾经属于一个统一的植物区系。新近纪以来台湾中央山脉和中国西南至东喜马拉雅地区均经历了海拔升高的过程,形成相似的低至中、高山生境;在第四纪冰期,一些类群在这两个地区之间形成连续的分布区。后来全球气温升高,这些植物类群从低海拔向高海拔山区迁移,由于华东至华中和华南缺少高山生境,使得原来连续分布的某些类群或其祖先类群在中国西南和台湾两地之间灭绝,从而形成间断分布。同时,台湾与大陆失去陆地连接后造成分类群在台湾和西南地区的隔离分化,以及中国南端热带生境的不连续性导致热带植物属种分布区的破碎也是形成台湾和西南间断分布的重要因素。最后将西南和台湾间断分布类群归纳为3种类型：孑遗型、分化型和热带型。     

海南鹦哥岭自然保护区蕨类植物区系

在充分的野外调查的基础上,初步探讨了海南鹦哥岭自然保护区蕨类植物的区系组成、生态分布与濒危状况。初步结果如下:1.鹦哥岭现有蕨类植物50科119属282种,科、属、种的比例分别占海南蕨类科、属、种的89·3%、84·4%和62·7%,其中台湾马尾杉(Phlegmariurus taiwanensis)、粗齿桫椤(Al-sophila denticulata)、启无蹄盖蕨(Athyrium wangii)、紫柄蕨(Pseudophegopteris pyrrhorachis)、微红新月蕨(Pronephrium megacuspe)、羽裂圣蕨(Dictyocline wilfordii)、多羽复叶耳蕨(Arachniodes amoena)、华南鳞毛蕨(Dryopteris tenuicula)等8种为海南分布新记录种。2.鹦哥岭蕨类区系以水龙骨科(Polypodiaceae)、蹄盖蕨科(Athyriaceae)、金星蕨科(Thelypteridaceae)、铁角蕨科(Aspleniaceae)为优势科,以铁角蕨属(Aspleni-um)、凤尾蕨属(Pteris)、短肠蕨属(Allantodia)、卷柏属(Selaginella)、毛蕨属(Cyclosorus)等为优势属,是一个以热带成分为主的热带区系,兼有较高比例的地区特有成分和东亚成分,其中,热带分布的科、属、种的比例分别为97·3%、88·3%和63·4%。3.鹦哥岭蕨类的生活环境大致可以区分为4种类型:低海拔次生林或灌草丛干旱生境、中高海拔林下阴湿生境、中高海拔林下湿润溪流生境和高海拔湿润苔藓矮林生境,以中高海拔林下阴湿生境中的蕨类最为丰富。4.鹦哥岭保存有许多海南珍稀蕨类,有10种国家二级保护蕨类,有56种海南受威胁蕨类,其中海南蹄盖蕨(Athyrium hainanense)、和七指蕨(Helminthostachys zeylanica)为海南极危种(CR),另有17种海南濒危(EN)、37种海南易危(VU)蕨类。     

Pollination Syndromes of Chinese Gesneriaceae: a Comparative Study between Hainan Island and Neighboring Regions

The species-rich Gesneriaceae are typically a tropical family in Asia, showing a monophyletic radiation and high endemism in Southwest China and Hainan Island. The Chinese species have diverse floral traits and pollination systems, but the detailed patterns of diversity and possible differentiations between Hainan Island and the Chinese mainland remain unclear. Here, we enumerate the species diversity and proportion of endemics of Gesneriaceae for Hainan Island and the nearby Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Guangdong. We then investigate the species evolutionary histories and main floral traits to evaluate speciation and pollination syndromes for the island and mainland flora. We recognize 24 (eight endemic) species on Hainan Island, 236 (106 endemic) in Yunnan, 211 (120 endemic) in Guangxi, 97 (28 endemic) in Guizhou, and 60 (20 endemic) in Guangdong. Although Hainan Island harbors fewer species than nearby regions, probably due to its smaller area, its endemic ratio is high, only slightly lower than Guangxi. A phylogenetic tree based on nuclear ITS 1/2 and chloroplast Trn L-F indicated most Hainan-endemic species were genetically close to species from Southeast Asia, rather than mainland China. For most floral traits, e.g., growth form, corolla type and color, Hainan Island species show no differences from other regions. Hainan Island and Yunnan Province have equal proportions of species with four or two stamens, whereas most species in other regions have two stamens. Hainan Island has a much higher percentage (21%) of actinomorphic species than other regions (< 10%). Most species in Hainan Island have exserted stamens, while stamens are included in most species in other regions. We did not find any increased tendency in floral traits that promote selfing for the island flora. Generalist pollination mechanisms, supported by characters such as actinomorphic corolla, appear to provide sufficient reproductive assurance in pollinator-depauperate Hainan Island.
