云南常绿阔叶林的植被地理研究

云南具有极其丰富的生物多样性和以常绿阔叶林为优势的植被类型。该研究利用6个基于样方层面的1 hm²样地资料, 以及通过对整个植被类型的植物区系的调查, 对云南常绿阔叶林植被型的3个植被亚型(季风常绿阔叶林、半湿润常绿阔叶林和中山湿性常绿阔叶林)的生态外貌特征、植物区系组成及其生物地理演化进行了研究。在样方层面, 尽管这3个常绿阔叶林在树种组成上优势种均为壳斗科、樟科和山茶科植物, 但它们在种类组成、多样性、生态外貌和生物地理特征上呈现多样化。分布在南部及西南部的季风常绿阔叶林物种组成极其丰富, 具有热带森林的生态外貌, 并以热带亚洲分布种为优势种。主要分布在云南高原的半湿润常绿阔叶林和云南中部和北部山地的中山湿性常绿阔叶林具有亚热带常绿阔叶林的生态外貌特征和以中国-喜马拉雅及中国特有种占优势, 是中国西南独特的植被类型。在植被亚型层面, 这3个常绿阔叶林的植物区系(包括所有生活型的种子植物)中种数最多的科, 按地理成分均为世界分布型的科, 含种数较少的科则为其他各种分布型的科。半湿润常绿阔叶林和中山湿性常绿阔叶林的植物区系, 热带分布属分别占总属数的44.91%和44.04%, 温带分布属占46.29%和48.19%, 其中北温带分布属比例最高, 分别为18.36%和19.95%。季风常绿阔叶林植物区系则显示了不同的地理成分格局: 热带分布属占总属数的78.05%, 并以热带亚洲分布属占最高比例。通过对这3个常绿阔叶林的比较发现, 半湿润常绿阔叶林和中山湿性常绿阔叶林除生态外貌特征有一定区别外, 在植物区系组成和地理成分上很接近, 它们在种的组成上, 与季风常绿阔叶林的类似性仅为17.1%和15.4%。季风常绿阔叶林因其在植物区系和生态外貌上与后二者区别明显, 建议在云南植被分类上划分一个独立的植被型, 它是东南亚低山常绿阔叶林分布在中国西南部热带北缘山地的一个植被类型。结合云南的地质历史和古植物学资料, 认为云南的常绿阔叶林及其植物区系受晚中新世以来的地质历史事件深刻影响。半湿润常绿阔叶林是中国西南独特而特有种丰富的植被类型, 由于严重的人为干扰破坏, 现已片段化或成为萌生灌丛状, 应给予优先保护。     

哀牢山亚热带常绿阔叶林乔木碳储量及固碳增量

为了解哀牢山亚热带常绿阔叶林的乔木碳储量及其固碳增量,利用2005和2008年的植被调查数据,对哀牢山3种主要常绿阔叶林的乔木碳储量及其固碳增量进行了分析。结果表明:原生的中山湿性常绿阔叶林、滇山杨次生林和旱冬瓜次生林的乔木碳储量分别为257.90、222.95和105.39tC·hm-2;中山湿性常绿阔叶林乔木碳储量主要存储在DBH≥91cm的乔木中(34.68%);而次生林的乔木碳储量主要分布在径级21cm≤DBH41cm的乔木中(滇山杨林77.29%;旱冬瓜林69.28%)。由此可见,哀牢山地区原生的中山湿性常绿阔叶林乔木层在碳蓄积方面占主导优势。哀牢山亚热带常绿阔叶林的3个森林类型乔木层均具有固碳增量,即使是原生的中山湿性常绿阔叶林,其乔木层年平均固碳增量也达2.47tC·hm-2·a-1;次生林乔木层的年平均固碳增量约为原生林的2倍,显示了哀牢山亚热带常绿阔叶林乔木层具有较强的碳汇增量。初步估算,哀牢山亚热带常绿阔叶林林区内每年乔木固碳增量为8.52×104tC·a-1。     

云南镇康大雪山常绿阔叶林群落类型的研究

常绿阔叶林在云南植被中占有重要位置,属于我国的西部类型,镇康大雪山的常绿阔叶林面积大,发育好,保存较完整,是一类具有代表性的中山湿性常绿阔叶林。本文根据常绿阔叶林的外貌、结构、成层性、优势种和生境条件特征的异同进行群落类型的划分。该地区常绿阔叶林分布较南,属于西南季风的前沿,地形复杂,山体较高,树种资源丰富,乔木优势种也较明显,生境湿润,林冠下一般具明显的竹子层片,群落类型多样,单位面积木材蓄积量较高。这类植被从自然保护研究和生产实践上具有重要的价值。     

云南哀牢山栎类次生林树种多样性特征研究

在哀牢山徐家坝地区,采用样方调查的方法对中山湿性常绿阔叶林受到人为破坏后形成的栎类次生林的树种多样性特征进行了研究。结果表明,恢复约40a的栎类次生林的乔木树种组成主要以云南越桔(Vacciniumduclouxii)为主。树种的萌生现象非常突出,超过2/3的树种具有萌生现象,在DBH≥3cm的植株中有72.7%是由无性系萌株产生的。栎类次生林乔木的密度随高度级、径级的增加而递减,但树种丰富度却不随树木的密度增加而增加。以Shannon-Wiener指数H、Simpson指数D和Fisher指数α计算了栎类次生林的树种多样性(H=1.42±0.27;D=0.65±0.09;α=2.59±1.16),并与中山湿性常绿阔叶林的树种多样性进行了比较,结果显示处于演替顶级阶段的中山湿性常绿阔叶林具有更高的树种多样性。     

云南中山湿性常绿阔叶林起源的探讨

云南中山湿性常绿阔叶林广泛分布于海拔1800~3400 m的山地,这类常绿阔叶林在生态外貌上具有亚热带常绿阔叶林特征,但其分布生境却是暖温带-温带气候,且植物区系组成与热带植物区系有古老的渊源。该文以研究得比较深入的哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林为例,对其植物区系与其气候条件的不协调进行剖析。哀牢山的中山湿性常绿阔叶林记录了种子植物110科386属821种。在植物区系科的地理成分上,无论是含种数多的科,还是所有科的分布区类型,都是以热带分布科为主,体现了它的远古热带起源背景。在该种子植物区系中,热带分布属占总属数的47.75%,热带分布种占总种数的33.45%,在近代演化上仍体现出明显的热带亲缘特征。按照哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林分布地区的暖温带-温带气候条件,它相当于中国东部的暖温带落叶阔叶林地区。在中国东部地区类似气候条件的地带性植被的植物区系中,热带分布属通常只占总属数的25%~27%,云南中山湿性常绿阔叶林植物区系的地理成分与所在地的温带气候明显不协调。对这种现象的解释,笔者认为结合哀牢山地区曾经是低海拔夷平面,在第四纪以来才迅速抬升形成的地质历史,可能这里曾经在第四纪以前的热带-亚热带性质的植物区系和常绿阔叶林随着地形的迅速抬升,逐渐适应了因海拔上升而形成的温带气候,成为在云南高海拔山地存在的所谓中山湿性常绿阔叶林,其植物区系和植被的热带-亚热带性质及常绿阔叶生态外貌并未因气候改变而发生改变。     

热带亚热带常绿阔叶林维持酸性土壤有效磷水平的磷转化过程

热带和亚热带酸性土壤磷矿物的沉淀通常被认为会限制土壤有效磷的供应.选择以西双版纳山地季风常绿阔叶林和哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林为代表的热带亚热带酸性土壤,探讨两类森林维持土壤有效磷水平的磷转化过程.哀牢山中山湿性常绿阔叶林腐殖质厚、而西双版纳山地季风常绿阔叶林的腐殖质几乎不存在.两地均显示土壤有效磷库随着土壤有机质含量的减少而降低.有机质含量较低的西双版纳表层矿质土（0～10 cm）的微生物生物量磷库大于有机质含量相对较高的哀牢山表层矿质土的微生物生物量磷库,且微生物对磷的固定占有效磷来源（磷矿物的溶解和有机磷的矿化）的比例为74%,高于哀牢山表层矿质土的63%.哀牢山表层矿质土的土壤有效磷库大于西双版纳,其土壤有效磷库可能更多的依赖于覆盖于其上的腐殖质分解后向下的磷输入.与两地的矿质土相比,哀牢山腐殖质具有高的磷净溶解率、总有机磷矿化速率和磷微生物固定速率.结果表明,热带山地季风常绿阔叶林主要通过微生物固定来避免土壤磷矿物的沉淀和保持土壤磷的有效供应;而亚热带中山湿性常绿阔叶林除具有较高的微生物固定外,地表腐殖质层的存在也帮助避免土壤磷矿物的沉淀而保持土壤有效磷的供应.     

云南哀牢山常绿阔叶林的空间分异及其影响因素

理解物种丰富度在空间上的变化,阐明植物群落组成对生境异质性的响应是群落生态学研究的核心议题之一。与生境异质性有关的生态位分化对植物群落的多样性格局和物种分布具有重要影响。本文以分布在云南哀牢山的4种常绿阔叶林为研究对象,通过对42个森林样地的调查取样,探讨了常绿阔叶林的群落分布和树种丰富度在地形和土壤环境梯度上的变异。结果表明:4种常绿阔叶林的树种组成有显著的差异。季风常绿阔叶林的树种丰富度极显著地高于其他3种类型;中山湿性常绿阔叶林极显著地高于半湿润常绿阔叶林;其他类型之间的差异不显著。非度量多维尺度分析显示,海拔、坡度、土壤含水率及有机质等9个环境梯度是控制森林群落结构和树种分布的主要因素。土壤有效硼、海拔、全钾和凹凸度为树种丰富度的最佳预测变量,累积解释了树种丰富度63.2%的变异。地形和土壤因子一起能够解释哀牢山常绿阔叶林的群落组成和树种丰富度的大部分变异。     

浙江省生态公益林植被恢复过程中物种组成及多样性的变化

在浙江省生态公益林区域的现状植被中分析了6种主要群落类型的物种组成和多样性的变化格局,包括演替系列中的2种灌丛、松优势林、2种混交林和常绿阔叶林。结果表明含松较多的灌丛和松优势林常分布在环境退化较严重(土层瘠薄)的生境中,其中灌木层主要由阳性的映山红、木、白栎等组成,常绿阔叶林优势种木荷、青冈、苦槠、甜槠等在其中偶见,因此推断其自然恢复为常绿林的速度慢;含常绿阔叶树较多的灌丛及含松较少的混交林分布在土层较厚处,木荷、青冈、苦槠、甜槠等的频度和重要值都较大,较容易自然恢复为常绿阔叶林。各种群落中物种多样性指数——Gleason、Shannon-Wiener、Simpson指数基本上以常绿阔叶林为最高,其次是含松较少的混交林,含松较多的灌丛和松优势林各种多样性指数最低。本研究显示我国中亚热带东部森林植被恢复途径有3条:(1)灌草丛→针叶林(松)→针(松)阔混交林→常绿阔叶林;(2)灌草丛→针(松)阔混交林→常绿阔叶林;(3)灌草丛→常绿阔叶林。这意味着本区域的常绿阔叶林恢复可以不必经历松林阶段,在生境条件较好的地方通过人工干预、补种常绿阔叶树可以加速常绿阔叶林恢复。     

云南镇康县大雪山常绿阔叶林的群落分析

Forest vegetation of the Himalaya

This review deals with the forest vegetation of the Himalaya with emphasis on: paleoecological, phytogeographical, and phytosociological aspects of vegetation; structural and functional features of forest ecosystem; and relationship between man and forests. The Himalayan mountains are the youngest, and among the most unstable. The rainfall pattern is determined by the summer monsoon which deposits a considerable amount of rain (often above 2500 mm annually) on the outer ranges. The amount of annual rainfall decreases from east to west, but the contribution of the winter season to the total precipitation increases. Mountains of these dimensions separate the monsoon climate of south Asia from the cold and dry climate of central Asia. In general, a rise of 270 m in elevation corresponds to a fall of 1°C in the mean annual temperature up to 1500 m, above which the fall is relatively rapid. Large scale surface removals and cyclic climatic changes influenced the course of vegetational changes through geological time. The Himalayan ranges, which started developing in the beginning of the Cenozoic, earlier supported tropical wet evergreen forests throughout the entire area (presently confined to the eastern part). The Miocene orogeny caused drastic changes in the vegetation, so much so that the existing flora was almost entirely replaced by the modern flora. Almost all the dominant forest species of the Pleistocene continue to maintain their dominant status to the present. Presently the Himalayan ranges encompass Austro-Polynesian, Malayo-Burman, Sino-Tibetan, Euro-Mediterranean, and African elements. While the Euro-Mediterranean affinities are well represented in the western Himalayan region (west of 77°E long.), the Chinese and Malesian affinities are evident in the eastern region (east of 84°E long.). However, the proportion of endemic taxa is substantial in the entire region. A representation of formation types in relation to climatic factors, viz., rainfall and temperature, indicates that boundaries between the types are not sharp. Formation types often integrate continuously, showing broad overlaps. Climate does not entirely determine the formation type, and the influence of soil, fire, etc., is also substantial. The ombrophilous broad leaf forests located in the submontane belt (< 1000 m) of the eastern region are comparable to the typical tropical rain forests. On the other extreme, communities above 3000 m elevation are similar to sub-alpine and alpine types. From favorable to less favorable environments, as observed with decreasing moisture from east to west, or with decreasing temperature from low to high elevations, the forests become increasingly open, shortstatured and simpler, with little vertical stratification. Ordination of forest stands distributed within 300–2500 m elevations of the central Himalaya, by and large indicates a continuity of communities, with scattered centers of species importance values in the ordination field. Within the above elevational transect, sal (Shorea robusta) and oak (Quercus spp.) forests may be designated as the climax communities, respectively, of warmer and cooler climates. The flora of a part of the central Himalayan region is categorized as therohemigeophytic and that of a part of the western Himalayan region as geochamaephytic. An analysis of population structure over large areas in the central Himalaya, based on density-diameter distribution of trees, suggests that oldgrowth forests are being replaced by even-aged successional forests, dominated by a few species, such asPinus roxburghii. Paucity of seedlings of climax species, namelyShorea robusta andQuercus spp. over large areas is evident. The Himalayan catchments are subsurface-flow systems and, therefore, are particularly susceptible to landslips and landslides. Loss of water and soil in terms of overflow is insignificant. Studies on recovery processes of forest ecosystems damaged due to shifting cultivation or landslides indicate that the ecosystems can recover quite rapidly, at least in elevations below 2500 m. For example, on a damaged forest site, seedlings of climax species (Quercus leucotrichophora) appeared only 21 years after the landslide. In the central Himalaya, the biomass of a majority of forests (163-787 t ha^?1) falls within the range (200-600 t ha^?1) given for many mature forests of the world, and the net primary productivity (found in the range of 11.0–27.4 t ha^?1 yr^?1) is comparable with the range of 20–30 t ha^?1 yr^?1 given for highly productive communities of favorable environments. In most of the forests of this region, the litter fall values (2.1-3.8 t C ha^?1 yr^?1) are higher than the mean reported for warm temperate forests (2.7 t C ha^?1 yr^?1). Of the total litter, the tree leaves account for 54–82% in the Himalayan forests. The rate of decomposition of leaves in some broadleaf species of submontane belt (0.253-0.274% day^?1) are comparable with those reported for some tropical rain forest species. Because of the paucity of microorganisms and microarthropods in the forest litter and soil, high initial C:N ratio and high initial lignin content in leaves, the rate of leaf litter decomposition inPinus roxburghii is markedly slower than in other species of the central Himalaya. The fungal species composition of the leaf litterof Pinus roxburghii is also distinct from those of other species. A greater proportion of nutrients is accumulated in the biomass component of the Himalayan forests than in the temperate forests. Although litter fall is the major route through which nutrients return from biomass to the soil pool, a substantial proportion of the total return is in the form of throughfall and stemflow. Among the dominant species of the central Himalaya, retranslocation of nutrients from the senescing leaves was markedly greater inPinus roxburghii than inQuercus spp. andShorea robusta. Consequently, the C:N ratio of leaf litter is markedly higher inPinus roxburghii than in the other species. Immobilization of nutrients by the decomposers of the litter with high C:N ratio is one of the principal strategies through whichPinus roxburghii invades other forests and holds the site against possible reinvasion by oaks. Observations on the seasonality of various ecosystem functions suggest that Himalayan ecosystems are geared to take maximum advantages of the monsoon period (rainy season). Most of the human population depends on shifting-agriculture in the eastern region and on settled agriculture in the central and western regions. Either of these is essentially a forest-dependent cultivation. Each unit of agronomic energy produced in the settled agriculture entails about seven units of energy from forests. Consequently, forests with reasonable crown cover account for insignificant percentage of the land. Tea plantations and felling of trees for timber, paper pulp, etc., are some of the major commercial activities which adversely affected the Himalayan forests.     

Phylobetadiversity among Forest Types in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest Complex

Phylobetadiversity is defined as the phylogenetic resemblance between communities or biomes. Analyzing phylobetadiversity patterns among different vegetation physiognomies within a single biome is crucial to understand the historical affinities between them. Based on the widely accepted idea that different forest physiognomies within the Southern Brazilian Atlantic Forest constitute different facies of a single biome, we hypothesize that more recent phylogenetic nodes should drive phylobetadiversity gradients between the different forest types within the Atlantic Forest, as the phylogenetic divergence among those forest types is biogeographically recent. We compiled information from 206 checklists describing the occurrence of shrub/tree species across three different forest physiognomies within the Southern Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Dense, Mixed and Seasonal forests). We analyzed intra-site phylogenetic structure (phylogenetic diversity, net relatedness index and nearest taxon index) and phylobetadiversity between plots located at different forest types, using five different methods differing in sensitivity to either basal or terminal nodes (phylogenetic fuzzy weighting, COMDIST, COMDISTNT, UniFrac and Rao’s H). Mixed forests showed higher phylogenetic diversity and overdispersion than the other forest types. Furthermore, all forest types differed from each other in relation phylobetadiversity patterns, particularly when phylobetadiversity methods more sensitive to terminal nodes were employed. Mixed forests tended to show higher phylogenetic differentiation to Dense and Seasonal forests than these latter from each other. The higher phylogenetic diversity and phylobetadiversity levels found in Mixed forests when compared to the others likely result from the biogeographical origin of several taxa occurring in these forests. On one hand, Mixed forests shelter several temperate taxa, like the conifers Araucaria and Podocarpus. On the other hand, tropical groups, like Myrtaceae, are also very representative of this forest type. We point out to the need of more attention to Mixed forests as a conservation target within the Brazilian Atlantic Forest given their high phylogenetic uniqueness.

Nutrient Dynamics in the Litter-Fall and Forest Floor of Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest and Pinus yunnanensis Forest in Central Yunnan

The quantity of litter-fall and the standing crop of H sublayer in the forest floor of evergreen broad-leaved forest were higher than that of Pinus yunnanensis forest. The quantity of the forest floor changed with the quantity of litter-fall, and thera was a dynamic equilibrium between the litter-fall and forest floor. The content of nutrient elements of the forest floor was higher than that of litter-fall in both types. The order of nutrient element content in the forest floor differed from that in litter-fall. In the evergreen broad-leaved forest, the order was N > Ca > Si>K>Mg>Al>P>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu,and in Pinus yunnanensis forest it was Ca>N>Si>K>Al>Mg >Fe>P>Mn>Zn>Cu. But the order of nutrient element content in the forest floor had changed: in evergreen broad-leaved forest it was Si > N > Al > Ca > Fe > K>Mg>P>Mn>Zn>Cu, the Pinus yunnanensis forest it was Si > AI>N>Ca>Fe>K>M>P>Mn>Zn>Cu. With increase in the intensity of litter decomposition Ash, Si and Al had obviously increased, N, Fe, P and K had also increased in varying degrees, but there was some reduction in Ca, Zn and Mg. The ratio of carbon and nitrogen in litter decreased' with increase in litter decomposition.     

Forest Fragmentation and Seed Germination of Native Species from the Chaco Serrano Forest

Habitat fragmentation is a widespread phenomenon that alters pollination and plant reproductive processes. These effects have demographic and genetic implications that determine offspring fitness and the long‐term viability of plant populations in fragmented systems. We evaluated fragmentation effects on early plant offspring fitness traits, individual seed mass, and percentage of seed germination in five native plant species (Acacia caven, Celtis ehrenbergiana, Croton lachnostachyus, Rivina humilis, Schinus fasciculatus) from the Chaco Serrano forest, a subtropical highly fragmented ecosystem. We found evidence of strong negative fragmentation effects on germination in the shrub C. lachnostachyus and the perennial herb R. humilis, after 30 d of controlled tests. No fragmentation effects were found in the studied traits on the remaining three tree species. We found significant maternal effects in offspring fitness traits in all five species. We discuss the relative magnitude of maternal vs. fragmentation effects taking into account both plant species' lifespan and the time elapsed in fragmentation conditions. We emphasize the need to increase the study of early and late plant offspring fitness produced in fragmented habitats coupled with analyses of genetic parameters and the pollination process in order to evaluate the conservation value of remnant forest fragments.
