Impact of habitat diversification on arthropod communities： A study in the fields of Chinese cabbage, Brassica chinensis

Field trials were carried out from June to August in 2004 at Wuyishan （Wuyi Mountains）, Fujian province, China, to determine the effects of habitat diversification on arthropod communities. Two Chinese cabbage, Brassica chinensis, field 1 （F1） and field 2 （F2） surrounded by diverse vegetable cultivars were selected, while a monoculture of Chinese cabbage served as the control field （CK）. The results showed that： （i） when comparing insect abundance of each order between different habitats, significantly higher numbers of lepidopterous insects （39.76% from the each order） and lower densities of Hymenoptera （19.82%） were found in CK than in F1 and F2; （ii） compared with CK, F1 and F2 had a lower percentage of species richness and an abundance of herbivorous insects, but increased richness, abundance and biodiversity of predatory insects; （iii） no differences were observed in neutral insects＇ guild between different fields; and （iv） the dominant species for each guild depends on the habitat types and sampling dates. This study suggests that intercropping could conceivably be used in these habitats to increase the population of natural predators, thus achieving desirable and ecologically friendly results in vegetable fields.     

Phenological Complementarity Does not Enhance Ecosystem Production in Undisturbed Steppe Community

Communities with more species could have a greater variety of species＇ characteristics, leading to more effective use of limiting resources through niche partitioning （complementarity） and therefore greater production. The effect of phenologlcal complementarity （PC） on ecosystem production has not been fully Investigated. The seasonal responses of all vascular plant species were tracked to test the effect of phenologlcal complementarity on ecosystem production within a natural stable steppe community. Although a significant phenologlcal pattern was observed, PC had no significant correlation with community production. The value of PC varied with years, but was observed only In a relatively narrow range during the experimental period. Species diversity （richness and evenness） had no correlation with the ecosystem production. The results suggest that the effect of PC may be saturated and has no contribution to the improvement of ecosystem production In a stable natural grassland community with abundant species.

黄泥河林区鼠类群落演替的研究

本文研究了吉林省黄泥河林区5个次生植被类型的鼠类群落结构和生物量的变化。原始针阔混交林采伐后,大林姬鼠数量减少,棕背(鼠平)数量增加,黑线姬鼠侵入。形成次生阔叶林和人工落叶松林后,鼠类群落仍为原始针阔混交林中的大林姬鼠+棕背(鼠平)群落类型。人工红松林的形成使棕背(鼠平)数最明显减少,成为大林姬鼠群落。森林开垦成农田,相应形成黑线姬鼠+大林姬鼠群落。草甸发展成草甸森林,鼠类群落由东方田鼠+棕背(鼠平)演变成棕背(鼠平)群落。并分析了环境因素对鼠类演替的影响。

不同地点蒙古栎群落相似性的研究

通过１３个地点蒙古栎群落物种相似性与两地之间距离的回归比较,发现蒙古栎群落物种相似性的大小一般决定于不同地点之间的地理位置,两地之间距离越近,其相似性越高,反之则越低,但是群落不同的演替阶段也影响群落的相似性。通过分析蒙古栎群落物种组成的差异及物种相似性系数的比较,蒙古栎群落可分为大兴安岭蒙古栎群落、长白山蒙古栎群落、辽西蒙古栎群落和辽冀蒙古栎群落等几种类型。     

洪湖主要沉水植物群落的定量分析I.微齿眼子菜群落

微齿眼子菜群落是洪湖面积最大的沉水植物群落,以１９９２－１９９３年的调查资料为基础,选择两个不同的群落地段地该群落进行了定量分析。九落种类组成简单,定量生长型谱可以反映不同群落地段的变化状态。群落组成种分布均一,水平结构简单、群落的垂直结构主要决定于微齿有子菜生物量的空间分布,可区分为水柱下层的垫状层和水中的稀疏层,各组成种之间不存在联结关系,分布各自相互独立,而相关分析则发现在一定时期,某些地之     

Species Abundance in a Forest Community in South China: A Case of Poisson Lognormal Distribution

Case studies on Poisson lognormal distribution of species abundance have been rare, especially in forest communities. We propose a numerical method to fit the Poisson lognormal to the species abundance data at an evergreen mixed forest in the Dinghushan Biosphere Reserve, South China. Plants in the tree, shrub and herb layers in 25 quadrats of 20 m×20 m, 5 m×5 m, and 1 m×1 m were surveyed. Results indicated that: (i) for each layer, the observed species abundance with a similarly small median, mode, and a variance larger than the mean was reverse J-shaped and followed well the zero-truncated Poisson lognormal;(ii) the coefficient of variation, skewness and kurtosis of abundance, and two Poisson lognormal parameters (σ andμ) for shrub layer were closer to those for the herb layer than those for the tree layer; and (iii) from the tree to the shrub to the herb layer, the σ and the coefficient of variation decreased, whereas diversity increased. We suggest that: (i) the species abundance distributions in the three layers reflects the overall community characteristics; (ii) the Poisson lognormal can describe the species abundance distribution in diverse communities with a few abundant species but many rare species; and (iii) 1/σ should be an alternative measure of diversity.     

暖温带若干落叶阔叶林群落物种多样性及其与群落动态的关系

 分析比较了暖温带中部至西南部20个落叶阔叶林群落类型的物种多样性,结果表明：1)一般情况下,乔、灌、草3个层次的物种丰富度(Sp)和多样性指数(D和H′)多为乔木层<灌木层<草本层,但均匀度指数(Ea)则多以灌木层居高;2)处于亚顶极阶段的森林群落各层次多样性指数(D和H′)特征是乔木层<草本层<灌木层;3)当群落处于顶极亚顶极阶段时,群落各层次的均匀度指数均在0.5以上;4)以群落总体重要值为测度指标来测度群落的总体物种多样性指数和均匀度指数时,发现群落总体Simpson多样性指数(D)可用于判断群落稳定性的高低,即总体多样性指数D低于或接近0.5的群落其稳定性较差或为特殊生境下的群落类型;当总体多样性指数D高于0.5时有两种情况：群落的均匀度指数Ea大于D的群落为地带性群落类型,它们有很高的稳定性,相当于顶极群落,而Ea小于或与D接近的群落具有较高的物种丰富度,在群落的演替动态方面处于顶极的前期,相当于亚顶极群落。     

大兴安岭呼中地区3种林分的群落特征、物种多样性差异及其耦合关系

准确理解天然林林分群落特征及其与物种多样性耦合关系是提升天然林管理、达到多样性保护的关键。选择大兴安岭呼中地区典型落叶松林、杂木林、白桦落叶松林为研究对象,分别对乔木层、灌木层和草本层特征(高度、胸径、冠幅、盖度等)进行调查并计算丰富度指数、多样性指数和均匀度指数,旨在探究林分间差异及其耦合关系变化。结果表明:(1)乔木层的树高、枝下高表现出杂木林落叶松林白桦落叶松(P0.05);落叶松林的胸径比白桦落叶松林和杂木林的高出6%和11%;灌木层的高度、盖度、地径、冠幅和草本层多度、盖度、高度在森林类型间均未表现出显著差异。(2)3个森林类型的乔、灌、草丰富度指数R、Shannon-Wiener指数及Simpson指数均表现出杂木林最大,乔木层和草本层呈相同规律,即杂木林白桦落叶松林落叶松林,而灌木层表现出杂木林落叶松林白桦落叶松林;白桦落叶松林和杂木林的乔木层均匀度Pielou指数和Alatalo指数约为落叶松林的3倍左右,而在灌木层和草本层在森林类型间差异不显著(P0.05)。(3)典范对应分析(CCA)结果表明林分群落特征和生物多样性关系存在明显森林类型间差异。总体表现为灌木特征(冠幅、地径)、草本层特征(盖度、多度和高度)对多样性均有较大影响;白桦落叶松林和杂木林的胸径对多样性影响明显,而落叶松林的乔木高度(树高、枝下高)对多样性影响较大。杂木林随着灌木盖度、草本高度的增加,草本物种多样性降低、乔木多和灌木物种多样性增加;而落叶松林相同的多样性变化多伴随草本高度增加、多度和盖度变小。灌木层物种多样性增加多与乔木和草本物种多样性降低相伴随,在杂木林中同时伴随着乔木胸径和草本的盖度、多度增大、灌木冠幅变小,而白桦落叶松林则伴随灌木冠幅和草本多度盖度的减小。以上结果表明,林分群落特征与物种多样性存在耦合关系,上述解耦合结果为通过维持良好森林结构、多样性保护具有实践意义。

Lack of tree layer control on herb layer characteristics in a subtropical forest,China

Question: Knowledge of the interaction between understorey herb and overstorey tree layer diversity is mostly restricted to temperate forests. How do tree layer diversity and environmental variables affect herb layer attributes in subtropical forests and do these relationships change in the course of succession? Do abundance and diversity of woody saplings within the herb layer shift during succession? Location: Subtropical broad‐leaved forests in southeast China (29°8′18″‐29°17′29″N, 118°2′14″118°11′12″E). Methods: A full inventory of the herb layer including all plants below 1‐m height was done in 27 plots (10 × 10 m) from five successional stages (<20, <40, <60, <80 and ≥80 yr). We quantified the contribution of different life forms (herbaceous, woody and climber species) to herb layer diversity and productivity and analysed effects of environmental variables and tree layer diversity on these attributes. Results: Herb layer composition followed a successional gradient, as revealed by non‐metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS), but diversity was not correlated to the successional gradient. There was no correlation of diversity across layers. Herb layer productivity was neither affected by tree layer diversity nor by herb layer diversity. Although abundance of woody species in the herb layer decreased significantly during succession, woody species contributed extraordinarily to herb layer species diversity in all successional stages. All environmental factors considered had little impact on herb layer attributes. Conclusions: The subtropical forest investigated displays an immense richness of woody species in the herb layer while herbaceous species are less prominent. Species composition of the herb layer shows a clear successional pattern, however, the presence or absence of certain species appears to be random.     

浙江古田山常绿阔叶林演替序列研究:群落物种多样性

采用较为成熟的“空间差异代替时间变化”的研究方法,应用相邻格子样方法调查了16个典型样地,利用Shannon-Wiener指数、Pielou均匀度指数、Simpson生态优势度指数计算了浙江古田山自然保护区常绿阔叶林演替序列4种群落的物种多样性。结果表明,从针叶林到针阔叶混交林、木荷林和甜槠林的演替过程中,4种群落乔木层的Shannon-Wiener指数分别为1.9670、2.4975、2.6140和2.4356,呈现先增大后变小的趋势;灌木层物种多样性以针阔叶混交林最高,Shannon-Wiener指数为2.8625;针叶林的草本层Shannon-Wiener指数为1.5334,高于其它3种群落。在群落的垂直结构中,演替序列中的针叶林、针阔叶混交林、甜槠林物种多样性均表现为灌木层>乔木层>草本层,而木荷林物种多样性大小则表现为乔木层>灌木层>草本层。演替过程中,乔木层、灌木层和草本层的物种多样性的变化幅度以草本层最大,H、JSW、JSI、D的变异系数分别为0.1572、0.0806、0.0899和0.1884;灌木层变化幅度最小,其H、JSWJ、SI、D的变异系数分别为0.0482、0.0385、0.0142和0.1553。     

山西霍山森林群落林下物种多样性研究

在野外获得样方的基础上,采用多样性指数、丰富度指数、均匀度指数等对山西霍山森林群落林下灌木层和草本层的物种多样性进行了研究,结果表明,多数森林群落林下灌木层多样性指数和均匀度指数均高于草本层,而丰富度指数则相反。灌木层和草本层物种多样性指数的顺序为:针阔叶混交林>针叶林>落叶阔叶林,主要是由于针阔叶混交林兼有针叶林和落叶阔叶林的共同特征,因而具有较高的多样性。灌木层和草本层多样性指数、丰富度指数和均匀度指数在海拔梯度上呈单峰曲线变化趋势,即中海拔(1500 m)高度上物种多样性最大,这主要是由于在这一海拔范围内水热条件组合较好,人类活动干扰较少所致。
