云南石林地区石灰岩山地种子植物区系成分的研究

云南石林是我国为数不多的世界地质公园。分析了云南石林地区石灰岩山地植物区系从科到种的 组成特征。调查统计分析的植物共有维管植物147科533属889种,其中种子植物占133科508属846种。 种子植物科级区系成分中,以亚热带科为主,暖温带科次之。属级区系成分中,热带分布属占优势,占总属数 的56．2％,温带分布属也占近三分之一,这表明该植物区系的过渡性即亚热带性质。在其种级区系组成中,中 国特有种有328种,占总种数的40％,其次是东亚分布种和热带亚洲分布种。石林石灰岩山地种子植物区系, 从科到种的组成都充分说明了该植物区系的亚热带性质及组成上的独特性。     

广东石门台自然保护区的藓类植物区系研究

石门台自然保护区位于广东省中北部,面积82260hm2,是全省面积最大的自然保护区。根据过去三年的调查研究,石门台保护区共有藓类植物33科92属176种1亚种5变种。在石门台藓类中,种数较多的科主要有曲尾藓科、灰藓科和凤尾藓科等;种数较多的属主要有凤尾藓属、曲柄藓属和白发藓属等。石门台藓类植物的区系地理成分可划分为12类,其中以东亚成分(25.47%)和热带亚洲成分(17.39%)为主。另外,将石门台与8个邻近地区的藓类植物区系进行比较,与石门台藓类区系最相近的是鼎湖山,最疏远的是神农架。石门台的藓类植物区系被定性为南亚热带性质,但同时东亚和热带亚洲因素也有较大的影响。     

秦岭藓类植物区系特点与地理分布的初步研究

本文研究了:1.秦岭藓类植物水平分布与这一地区森林分布的格局是相一致的。垂直分布以北坡为例可划分为5个带;海拔2400—2900米是白齿藓属(Leucodon)种分化特别活跃的一带,作者认为秦岭地区可能是该属植物的分布中心和分化中心亦或是起源地;2.秦岭藓类138属中,热带和亚热带的属有21个,而且其中有14属仅各有1种,其它各属均为2—3种。这充分证明,秦岭南坡已是亚热带藓类分布的北部边缘。秦岭有80个属为温带属,在秦岭藓类植物中占有显著地位,这也充分说明秦岭藓类植物的地理成分是以温带为主,也就是泛北极区系成分为主;3.园枝藓属(Pterogonium)和拟直毛藓属(Kiaeria)是新分布于中国的属;4.秦岭藓类植物区系与我国西藏、东北两地藓类植物区系的关系。     

河北省北部苔藓植物区系与地理分布研究

基于作者近年来在河北省北部实地考察和采集的2000余号苔藓植物标本,经过研究鉴定,现已知河北省北部有苔藓植物270种(包括4变种、3变型),分别隶属于36科104属。其中,丛藓科为第一大科,含18属49种;紫萼藓属为第一大属,含17种。利用丰富度指数公式,并通过与我国其它9个山地的比较,可以看出河北省北部是苔藓植物物种多样性较为丰富的地区之一。河北省北部苔藓植物区系成分以北温带成分为主(占总种数的54.07%),其次是东亚成分(占总种数的14.81%)。各类温带成分共计227种,占总种数的84.07%,该植物区系具有明显的温带性质。运用主成分分析(PCA)的方法将河北省北部与我国其它12个山地苔藓植物区系所构成的区系谱进行了定量研究。结果表明:河北省北部与小五台山、内蒙古间苔藓植物区系关系最为密切,而与处于南亚热带的九万山关系最远。利用聚类分析的方法,并结合13个采集地的地理位置和不同的生态环境特点,将河北省北部苔藓植物区系划分为两个地带,即:张北高原苔藓植物地带和冀北山地苔藓植物地带。结合13个采集地苔藓植物种数所占总种数的百分比水平分布图,可以比较直观地看出河北省北部苔藓植物种数在纬向上由东向西逐渐减少,在经向上西北部种类较少、东南部种类较多的水平分布特点;通过苔藓生活型分析可以显示出张北坝上高原、冀西北间山盆地气候寒冷、干燥,顶蒴藓类占绝对优势;而承德坝上高原、冀北山地、燕山山地气候较温暖、湿润,侧蒴藓类所占百分比明显增多。这些与河北省北部苔藓植物区划地带是基本一致的。     

新疆喀纳斯自然保护区藓类植物物种多样性与区系调查

从1995～2009年,作者对新疆喀纳斯自然保护区藓类植物进行了全面的调查、采集、鉴定,分析研究。结果表明,该自然保护区藓类植物共有37科113属253种（含1变种）,优势科主要体现寒、温带地区分布类型,该区藓类植物生境的多样性可以从物种多样性,如曲尾藓科、木灵藓科、泥炭藓科、紫萼藓科、丛藓科等的广泛分布反映出来。通过与该区相邻的6个地区的物种丰富度系数比较,该自然保护区综合系数S i排第三位,说明此区藓类植物物种多样性丰富,这与本区的水分条件有很大关系。藓类植物区系成分以北温带成分为绝对优势,占总种数的83.33%;东亚成分占总种数的5.10%;东亚-北美成分占总种数的4.17%,各区系成分交汇。主成分分析和聚类分析表明,喀纳斯自然保护区藓类植物区系与新疆东部天山、内蒙古大青山、吉林长白山、河北木兰围场藓类植物区系关系较接近,与贵州梵净山、云南鸡足山藓类植物区系关系疏远,体现了我国北方藓类植物分布特征。     

瑞丽莫里热带雨林种子植物区系的初步研究

初步分析了鲜为人知的滇西南瑞丽莫里的热带雨林植物区系组成与地理成分。该植物区系中热带和主产热带的科占总科数的80%以上,热带分布属占总属数的84.1%;典型热带分布种占总种数的82.1%,该区系在科、属和种水平上均以热带成分占优势,明显属于热带性质的植物区系。在其热带分布属中,又以热带亚洲分布属最多,占总属数的26.5%;典型热带分布种中也以热带亚洲分布及其变型的种占绝对优势,占总种数的72.9%,反映了该植物区系具有热带亚洲植物区系的性质特点。在其热带亚洲成分中,又具体以南亚—大陆东南亚成分比例最高,反映了滇西南的热带雨林植物区系由于地域邻接关系,受印度(喜马拉雅)—缅甸植物区系的强烈影响。     

河南小秦岭自然保护区槭属植物的分布与区系分析

小秦岭自然保护区自然分布有槭属植物12种3变种1亚种。按徐廷志分类系统(1996)隶属2亚属8组10系。其种类占河南全省分布种类的一半以上,占整个秦岭槭属植物种类的45.7%。槭属植物区系成分复杂,以我国华中、西南扩散成分为主,华东、东北、西北植物区系成分兼容并存,体现了本区植物区系的南北交融、东西过渡的特征。     

广东种子植物区系地理成分研究

广东种子植物区系共有２１９科１４３４属４９８６种。其中：①热带区系成分占有较大的比例,约占非世界属的６２．３％,表明广东区系受到热带区系的强烈渗透,次之为亚热带（至亚热带山地）成分约占３２．２％,及中国特有分布占５．６％;②以单型属（７２属）,单种属（５８５属）和寡种属（５６２属）占绝对优势,共占８５．０％,充分显示了广东区系的古老性和过渡性特点;③从区系组成和植被结构的特征成分来看,以华夏植物区系成分为主,包括：亚热带分布,亚热带山地分布,中国特有分布,东亚—北美间断分布,及一些亚洲热带分布中以亚热带为主的属：④在这些属中有东亚特有属１３２属,中国特有属７５属以及华南—西南—中南半岛特有属６８属等;这些属的存在毫无疑问地说明,广东区系是华夏植物区系的核心地区之一,同时也显示了热带区系与亚热带区系有着不可分隔的统一性。     

西双版纳石灰岩森林的植物区系地理研究

西双版纳石灰岩森林植物区系经调查有维管束植物１５３科,６４０属,１３９４种及变种,其中,种子植物占１２９科５５８属１２６９种及变种。种子植物的分布区类型组成是热带和主产热带的科占总科数的７１．３％;热带分布属占总属数的９０．１％;热带分布种超过总种数的９０％。热带分布属中又以热带亚洲分布属最多,占总数的３５．３％;热带分布种中则以热带亚洲分布及其变型的种类占总种数的６４．５％为特点。这表明该石灰岩森林植物区系是热带性质的植物区系,属于热带亚洲区系的一部分。由于特殊的地理位置,西双版纳地区是许多典型热带植物的分布北界,同时又是几种地理成分的交汇地带,这又使该石灰岩区系带有明显热带边缘性质和多种地理成分交汇的特点。     

河北省侧蒴藓类植物区系的主成分分析

根据较系统全面地野外调查、标本鉴定和整理,采用植物区系谱的主成分分析方法,对河北省侧蒴藓类植物区系进行了研究。结果表明;河北省侧蒴藓类植物共计196种(包括种以下单位),隶属于17科,66属。其中,北温带地理分布类型占主导地位,共计98种,占总种数的50．79％;东亚地理分布类型54种,占总种数的27．77％;中国特有分布类型16种,占总种数的8．38％;东亚—北美分布类型9种,占总种数的4．71％;旧世界温带分布类型9种,占总种数的4．71％;热带分布类型(包括泛热带分布类型和热带亚洲分布类型)仅有3种,占总种数的1．57％。运用植物区系谱的主成分分析对河北省与我国相邻地区侧蒴藓类植物关系的研究表明：西藏和横断山为一组,相异系数分别为31．9和43．5,与河北的联系相差最远;河北—东北—秦岭—内蒙古—山东为一组,内蒙古和山东在地理位置上与河北接壤,但相异系数分别达21．0和15．6,而河北与东北、秦岭相异系数分别为6．4和12．0,它们在区系关系上更为接近。分析结果对吴鹏程(1998)关于中国苔藓植物分布路线的观点以有力的支持,即存在喜马拉雅南麓地区—秦岭—东北的苔藓植物迁移路线;同时,说明大的山脉是苔藓植物进行扩散和传播的重要通道。     

A biogeographical study on tropical flora of southern China

The tropical climate in China exists in southeastern Xizang (Tibet), southwestern to southeastern Yunnan, southwestern Guangxi, southern Guangdon, southern Taiwan, and Hainan, and these southern Chinese areas contain tropical floras. I checked and synonymized native seed plants from these tropical areas in China and recognized 12,844 species of seed plants included in 2,181 genera and 227 families. In the tropical flora of southern China, the families are mainly distributed in tropical areas and extend into temperate zones and contribute to the majority of the taxa present. The genera with tropical distributions also make up the most of the total flora. In terms of geographical elements, the genera with tropical Asian distribution constitute the highest proportion, which implies tropical Asian or Indo‐Malaysia affinity. Floristic composition and geographical elements are conspicuous from region to region due to different geological history and ecological environments, although floristic similarities from these regions are more than 90% and 64% at the family and generic levels, respectively, but lower than 50% at specific level. These differences in the regional floras could be influenced by historical events associated with the uplift of the Himalayas, such as the southeastward extrusion of the Indochina geoblock, clockwise rotation and southeastward movement of Lanping–Simao geoblock, and southeastward movement of Hainan Island. The similarity coefficients between the flora of southern China and those of Indochina countries are more than 96% and 80% at family and generic levels, indicating their close floristic affinity and inclusion in the same biogeographically floristic unit.     

Geographic distribution patterns and status assessment of threatened plants in China

Large scale heterogeneous distribution of biodiversity has become a hot topic for ecologists and conservationists. A threat status assessment combined with geographic distribution patterns of threatened plants in China has been conducted at a national scale in this study based upon a distribution database that refers to both specimen records and published references. Currently, 302 threatened plant species are cataloged in the “National Protected Key Wild Plants” in China belonging to 92 families and 194 genera. Results of the assessment according to the Categories and Criteria system of The World Conservation Union (IUCN) Red List indicate that three species have been assessed as Extinct in Wild (EW) while a further 79, 99 and 112 species have been assessed as Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), and Vulnerable (VU), respectively. Distribution patterns of threatened plants were analyzed with GIS to identify areas of high species diversity. It was found that threatened plant species occur unevenly within counties and are concentrated in the following eight hotspots: the central and southern Hengduanshan mountain area; the southeast regions of Yunnan as well as Xishuangbanna and southwestern Guangxi; the southern Hainan island; the border mountainous regions of Guizhou, Hunan and Guangxi provinces; the mountainous regions of southwestern Hubei and northern Hunan; southwestern Zhejiang and western Fujian; central Sichuan and southern Gansu; and the western mountains of Guangdong. Moreover, the 12 counties with the greatest number of threatened plant species represent cumulatively more than 50% of the total listed species and, therefore, are the regions in China that should be prioritized for conservation efforts. By overlapping the map of threatened plant species with the distribution of national nature reserves, a gap was identified in protected areas. This research will ultimately provide insights for prioritizing biodiversity conservation as well as processing the mechanisms of distribution patterns.     

Biogeographical Divergence of the Flora of Yunnan,Southwestern China Initiated by the Uplift of Himalaya and Extrusion of Indochina Block

The floral composition of Yunnan is conspicuously linked to the biogeographical history of this extremely species-rich province in southwestern China. The floristic compositions of three representative regions in Yunnan were compared to reveal their variation with geography. From southern Yunnan, 4150 native species (including subspecies and varieties) from 1240 genera and 183 families of seed plants were recognized. From central Yunnan 3389 native species from 1095 genera and 167 families of seed plants were recognized. From northwestern Yunnan 6807 native species from 1296 genera and 166 families of seed plants were recognized. Although these three floras across Yunnan are similar in familial composition, similarities between the floras of southern and northwestern Yunnan are low at the generic and specific levels. The flora of northwestern Yunnan is dominated by families and genera with cosmopolitan and north temperate distributions, while the flora of southern Yunnan is dominated by tropical families and genera. Northwestern Yunnan is composed largely of temperate genera, of which the highest proportion has a north temperate distribution. In contrast, southern Yunnan has mainly tropical genera, of which most have a tropical Asian distribution. The flora of central Yunnan is a combination of southern and northwestern Yunnan. These three floras might be derived from a common Tertiary tropical or subtropical East Asian flora, but the geological history of each region has influenced its flora, and they have remained divergent since the late Tertiary. The flora of northwestern Yunnan has evolved with the uplift of the Himalayas and by gradual proliferation of mainly cosmopolitan and north temperate floristic elements, while the flora of southern Yunnan has evolved with extrusion of the Indochina block and the influence of mainly tropical Asian elements.

Spatial patterns of the Iberian and Balearic endemic vascular flora

The Iberian flora has a high degree of originality (1328 endemic species, 24% of endemism), comparable to other regions in the Mediterranean Basin. The richness of Iberian endemic species is unevenly distributed; the greatest diversity is found in the main mountain ranges although the southwestern Atlantic coast and specially the Balearic Islands are rich in range-restricted endemic species. The largest number of endemic genera is found in the northwestern mountains, which might have acted as a refugium area. The Baetic System, which includes nearly half (46%) of the total Iberian endemic species, is by far the richest region of the territory. Its endemic flora is characterized by the great richness of narrow endemics and the high species turnover rate. The k-means partitioning analysis enables us to identify 11 units, generally well defined by the natural geographic features. The clusters including the northwestern mountains, the Cantabrian Mountains, the southwestern coast and especially the Balearic Islands, the Pyrenees and the Baetic System are compact and consist of a high proportion of diagnostic species, and can therefore be considered areas of endemism on a large scale. The regionalization reflects a primary longitudinal division of Iberia between a basic eastern and an acidic western region, but also partly reveals a climatic division between Eurosiberian and Mediterranean regions. Southeastern Iberia seems to be an important center of differentiation for several typically Mediterranean genera (e.g. Centaurea, Linaria, Armeria, Teucrium and Thymus), but other large genera are also highly diversified.     

中国西南地区珍稀濒危及国家保护植物区系地理

Areography of the Gymnosperms of China (1) Distribution of the Pinaceae of China

Nine of 10 genera and 119 of approximately 240 species of the Pinaceae occur in China, including 67 endemic species and two endemic genera. In this paper, the distributional maps of all the genera of the Pinaceae are presented (fig. 1-8). The horizontal and vertical distributions of species in each genus are discussed. The analysis of the distribution patterns of the genera indicates that some genera, such as Keteleeria, Tsuga, Pseudotsuga, Cathaya and Pseudolarix, are restricted to the area south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, and the others, i. e. Picea, Abies, Larix and Pinus, extend northward to northeastern China. However, all of the genera except Keteleeria and Pinus are not found in very dry areas and tropical mountainous regions of China. The monotypic genera, Cathaya and Pseudolarix, are distributed in eastern and central China. The genus Keteleeria consists of 10 species, 7 of which are concentrated in southern Guizhou, northern Guangxi, southwestern Hunan and easternmost Yunnan. The distribution of the remaining 6 genera shows the maximum concentration in western Sichuan and northwestern Yunnan. (Figs. 2-8). Furthermore, more than third of species of the Pinaceae (37.8%) are also concentrated in western Sichuan and northwestern Yunnan. where a great variety of habitats and different topographic features occur. It is apparent that to conduct our systematic and evolutionary studies on this family in these region is especially needed. The relations between the areal size and the tolerance of species are discussed. The distributions of macrofossils and microfossils of the genera of the Pinaceae ia China are given, and it has been proved that areas of most genera of the family were considerably larger in the past. than at present.     

Distribution of Willows (Salix) in China

The distribution of willows in China is studied in this paper. The origin of this genus and its distribution in the world are also discussed. There are 255 species of willows in China, taking up 46% of the total number of species of this genus in the world. They belong to 37 sections, which represent almost all forms. China is therefore the richest area in species and sections of willows in the world. This is mostly caused by the uplifting of Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) plateau. The willows in China are mainly distributed in northwestern, northeastern and southwestern regions. The northwest is a part of central Asian flora. The northeast is a part of northeastern Asian flora. They both have some of the Europe-Siberia and Arctic-Alpine elements. Qinghai-Xizang plateau is another important distribution center of willows, which has no close relation with other floristic regions. As one of typical genera of the Holarctic flora, Salix has probably originated in the tropical mountains of Southeast Asia.     

Identifying contact zone hotspots of passerine birds in the Palaearctic region

Birds are known to be a group rich in pairs of closely related species that have parapatric or allopatric distributions with relatively narrow contact zones. Here we analyse the geographical distribution of these contact zones for parapatric species pairs of passerine birds of the Palaearctic region. Their contact zones are located mainly in southwestern, northern and central-southern Asia, and in northwestern Africa, with a hotspot in the Middle East. A mid-domain effect null model, where contact zone hotspots are a neutral correlate of continental geometry, had a low explanatory power of 3.8%; the observed distribution of contact zones was not sufficiently predicted. Hypotheses involving range contractions and secondary contact in areas of high topographic and habitat diversity may offer more convincing explanations and offer promising perspectives for future studies.
