杂草种子寿命的研究

1976—1978年先后把稗、看麦娘、藜、猪殃殃等24种农田主要杂草种子分别埋入水田和旱田(棉麦)的土壤内,每年挖出一部分种子进行发芽试验,测定其存活率,8年试验结果表明,经4年后稗草种子在水田内还有34.2—52.5%发芽率,至第7年全部死亡;而在旱田内经2年,只有8.7%的发芽率,第三年死亡率达100.0%;看麦娘、硬草、棒头草种子在水田内2年发芽率分别为39.3%,62.7%、33.3%,而在旱田内2年后死亡率达100.0%;猪殃殃、波斯婆婆纳的种子在旱田中2年内的发芽率为57.0%、80.0%,但在水田内其死亡率达98.7%、100.0%;马齿苋的种子在旱田内经7年发芽率为33.3%;而水田内为23.0%。在水、旱不同条件下,不同杂草种子的寿命是不一样的,这将为水旱轮作防除农田杂草提供了理论依据。     

种子的长距离风传播模型研究进展

 植物种子的长距离传播在物种迁移、生物入侵、保护生物学等领域有重要的生态和进化意义。种子传播有很多方式,开阔草原等地区的草本植物和许多热带和温带的树木都是通过风传播种子的。风传播的方式最适合进行种子长距离传播现象的模拟研究。种子的风传播模型是传播生态研究的一个重要领域,尤其是种子的长距离风传播模型,对于外来入侵植物的扩散和破碎化景观中植物种群的基因交流等生态过程研究举足轻重,然而国内鲜见这方面的研究成果。本文综述了种子长距离风传播现象研究的背景和意义,分析了风传播种子模型的基本形式和构成原理,并分别就现象模型和机理模型的相关研究进展进行了总结,同时指出了未来发展的几个重要方向。种子的风传播模型可以分为现象模型和机理模型两类,现象模型按种子传播核心的形式包括短尾模型、偏峰长尾模型和混合传播核心模型,后两者对于长距离传播数据的模拟可以取得很好的效果。机理模型按照模拟机制可分为欧拉对流扩散模型和拉格郎日随机模型两类。本文重点介绍了种子的长距离风传播现象的形成机理和两类机理模型的参数构成和处理方式。适合种子脱落的天气和适合传播的天气的同步性可能是形成种子长距离风传播的一个重要前提,林缘和地表存在的上升气流及大风和暴风中形成的速度梯度都可能对于种子的长距离传播有重要的作用。机理模型的操作因子主要包括生物方面的因子、气象方面的因子和地形方面的因子。同时对目前几个应用比较成功的机理模型进行了简要的介绍和评价,包括倾斜羽毛模型、对流-扩散-下降模型、无掩蔽模型、背景模型、WINDISPER及其改进模型和PAPPUS模型。最后指出,目前在风传播种子的长距离模型研究中,对草本植物种子的传播模拟的投入明显不如树木种子的长距离传播模拟,对于破碎化景观中种子长距离的风传播的研究还存在很大的差距,而对提高机理模型预测能力的高分辨率物理环境数据输入技术的需求则为多学科交叉提供了很好的机会。     

田园杂草种子的休眠和需光萌发

植物种子的休眠性和需光性是普遍存在的,这是一种生态适应性[1]。我们[2]已发现许多树木细小种子的休眠受到光的控制,随之也观察了许多杂草种子的萌发特性。杂草是农作物的一大危害,繁殖力强,很难根除,这与它的种子传播、休眠与感光萌发的复杂生态适应性有关[3]。本文从生

稻田水面漂浮的杂草种子种类及动态

为了揭示杂草种子的漂浮动态,并为探寻生态控草方法提供理论依据,我们于2005年6-11月,在南京沧波门稻作区调查了水稻种植前及生长后期田问杂草群落以及稻田灌水期间水面漂浮的杂草种子的种类及漂浮时间.结果表明,在水稻种植前及生长后期田间出现有15科24种杂草;可漂浮于水面的杂草种子有17科26种,与田间发生的杂草种类相同的共有18种,占所有32种杂草的56.25%.这些杂草主要隶属于禾本科、蓼科、毛茛科、报春花科、莎草科、菊科和雨久花科.田埂附近漂浮的杂草种类及种子数量均高于田中间;各类杂草种子的漂浮能力不一,其中菵草(Beckmannia syzigachne)、泽珍珠菜(Lysimachia candida)、茴茴蒜(Ranunculus chinensis)、齿果酸模(Rumex dentatus)、蛇床(Cnidium monnieri)、鳢肠(Eclipta prostrata)和看麦娘(Alopecurus aequalis)等在田间水面漂浮能力较强.漂浮期间杂草种子除多集中于田埂附近,也附着于稻稞周围,并有互相结联的趋势.从整体上看,杂草种子漂浮2天后骤降,8天后基本全部沉降.显然,稻田生境的杂草种子大多可以漂浮于水面传播扩散.因此在灌水早期采取过滤或清除水上漂浮杂草种子可以减少杂草种子的输入和加速杂草种子从田间输出,减少杂草发生基数.

青藏高原东缘31种常见杂草种子萌发特性及其与种子大小的关系

以青藏高原东缘31种常见杂草(禾本科、菊科和紫草科)植物种子为对象,在野外实验条件下,观测了其萌发特性,并对其萌发模式以及种子大小和萌发特征的关系进行了分析,以期对当地的杂草防治提供理论依据.结果表明,这些植物种子的萌发模式可以分为以下4种类型:爆发型、过渡型、缓萌型和低萌型.其中过渡型和缓萌型所占比例最大(各占32.3%),爆发型次之(25.8%),低萌型最小(9.7%).高峰萌发率与种子大小呈显著负相关,萌发高峰时间与种子大小呈显著正相关,萌发率、萌发指数与种子大小呈较弱的负关联,萌发开始时间与种子大小呈较弱的正关联,萌发持续时间与种子大小几乎无相关关系.

Quantity,quality and the effectiveness of seed dispersal by animals

Disperser effectiveness is the contribution a disperser makes to the future reproduction of a plant. Although it is a key notion in studies of seed dispersal by animals, we know little about what determines the effectiveness of a disperser. The role of the present paper is to review the available information and construct a hierarchical framework for viewing the components of disperser effectiveness.Effectiveness has both quantitative and qualitative components. The quantity of seed dispersal depends on (A) the number of visits made to the plant by a disperser and (B) the number of seeds dispersed per visit. The quality of seed dispersal depends on (A) the quality of treatment given a seed in the mouth and in the gut and (B) the quality of seed deposition as determined by the probability that a deposited seed will survive and become an adult. In this paper I review the ways disperser behavior, morphology and physiology can influence these major components of disperser effectiveness, and when data permit present preliminary analyses of relationships among components.     

胡杨种子散布的时空分布格局

以额济纳胡杨为研究对象,对种子雨的散布时间、强度、散布距离以及种子雨和空气湿度、风之间的关系进行了研究。胡杨种子雨可以分为初始期、高峰期和消退期3个阶段,大部分的种子集中在高峰期落下。种子的散布主要受湿度和风的影响。湿度对种子雨的强度起主要作用,在一天之中,种子在湿度较低的中午和下午集中散落。应用一元线性回归模型对种子雨强度和相对湿度进行分析后表明二者之间存在显著的负相关关系。对种子的散播距离进行研究后发现,大部分种子落在母树附近,少部分种子能够进行长距离传播。风对种子的传播的方向和距离起决定性的作用,不同方向上的种子传播距离和强度相差很大。在顺风方向上,种子的传播距离最远,所有的长距离传播现象几乎都发生在这一方向上;而在主风向的垂直方向和逆风方向上,种子的散布距离较小,很少有种子能够进行长距离传播。对风的观测表明中午后和下午初的风力较强,而此时种子雨强度又最大,有利风力条件和高种子雨强度出现的同步性可能是促进胡杨种子进行长距离传播最有效的生物控制机制。由于胡杨种子在自然条件下的存活时间非常短暂,所以研究中不同胡杨母树林间种子散播时间的差异可能是胡杨种群内部为适应不同洪水期所表现出的风险分摊机制所造成的。     

Long-distance seed dispersal in plant populations

Long-distance seed dispersal influences many key aspects of the biology of plants, including spread of invasive species, metapopulation dynamics, and diversity and dynamics in plant communities. However, because long-distance seed dispersal is inherently hard to measure, there are few data sets that characterize the tails of seed dispersal curves. This paper is structured around two lines of argument. First, we argue that long-distance seed dispersal is of critical importance and, hence, that we must collect better data from the tails of seed dispersal curves. To make the case for the importance of long-distance seed dispersal, we review existing data and models of long-distance seed dispersal, focusing on situations in which seeds that travel long distances have a critical impact (colonization of islands, Holocene migrations, response to global change, metapopulation biology). Second, we argue that genetic methods provide a broadly applicable way to monitor long-distance seed dispersal; to place this argument in context, we review genetic estimates of plant migration rates. At present, several promising genetic approaches for estimating long-distance seed dispersal are under active development, including assignment methods, likelihood methods, genealogical methods, and genealogical/demographic methods. We close the paper by discussing important but as yet largely unexplored areas for future research.     

Spread pathways of the invasive weed Parthenium hysterophorus L.: The potential for water dispersal

Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Asteraceae) utilises multiple mechanisms to facilitate its dispersal. It has been speculated that the cypsela, the propagule of this species, can be dispersed by water under varying environmental conditions. Four experiments were conducted to test this hypothesis, using simulated shaking and immersion to test floating ability and viability of the propagule in water. The influence of the acidity of the immersion medium on cypsela viability was also examined. Our results revealed that the freshly harvested cypselae could float on river water for at least 20 days, although around 80% sank within a week if moderate or severe turbulence was applied. Sinkage was observed to be more rapid in naked seeds (within a day) than in cypsela (within a week). On still water surfaces, germination occurred within a week but extended to 1.5 weeks under turbulent conditions due to sinkage. In river water, initial germination of floating cypselae was greater (70%) under illuminated conditions as compared to dark conditions (20%). The viability of immersed cypselae was found to remain high in distilled water for 45 days, when immersion was in cool conditions (10 or 15°C). However, in moderate (20 and 24°C) or warm (25 and 30°C) conditions, the rate of viability loss increased, and at 34°C, around 50% of the cypselae died after 20 days of immersion. Similar trends for cypselae longevity were observed in studies using river and pond water; viability loss was faster, especially in pond water. In summary, a proportion of cypselae will float in turbulent water and could be carried significant distances in river systems. Immersed cypselae can remain viable for weeks and can germinate on contact with soil. Water bodies or floods are therefore considered as important pathways in parthenium weed dispersal; hence, post‐flood monitoring is strongly recommended to minimise its spread.     

Overseas seed dispersal by migratory birds

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) promotes the colonization of isolated and remote habitats, and thus it has been proposed as a mechanism for explaining the distributions of many species. Birds are key LDD vectors for many sessile organisms such as plants, yet LDD beyond local and regional scales has never been directly observed nor quantified. By sampling birds caught while in migratory flight by GPS-tracked wild falcons, we show that migratory birds transport seeds over hundreds of kilometres and mediate dispersal from mainland to oceanic islands. Up to 1.2% of birds that reached a small island of the Canary Archipelago (Alegranza) during their migration from Europe to Sub-Saharan Africa carried seeds in their guts. The billions of birds making seasonal migrations each year may then transport millions of seeds. None of the plant species transported by the birds occurs in Alegranza and most do not occur on nearby Canary Islands, providing a direct example of the importance of environmental filters in hampering successful colonization by immigrant species. The constant propagule pressure generated by these LDD events might, nevertheless, explain the colonization of some islands. Hence, migratory birds can mediate rapid range expansion or shifts of many plant taxa and determine their distribution.     

生境破碎化对食果动物及种子传播的影响

食果动物与依赖其传播种子的植物间在进化过程中形成互惠关系,生境破碎化往往干扰种子传播过程,继而破坏这种关系.生境破碎化通常降低食果动物的多样性,但亦有相反的情况出现.食果动物对生境破碎化的适应能力不同,泛性森林动物和广食性动物具有较强的适应性.生境破碎化对依赖动物传播的植物影响有差异,多数植物受到负面影响,但也有一些植物不受影响,甚至受益.动物在破碎生境中对种子传播的有效性是种子搬运量、传播距离、种子萌发及种群建立等环节的综合效果.破碎化生境中种子的搬运量与动物的觅食行为和食物选择有关;种子传播距离受食物资源可获得性的改变和生境斑块异质性的影响;种子萌发和更新种群建立成功与否决定于是否存在有效的种子传播者.生境破碎化如何影响种子传播以及动植物相互关系,尤其是异质斑块的空间分布如何影响食果动物的传播有效性、破碎化生境下动植物互惠共生关系如何建立,生境破碎化导致的植物入侵对本地植物种子传播的影响是未来需要深入研究的问题.
