秦岭不同龄组巴山冷杉径向生长对气候因子的响应差异

秦岭地区树轮气候学研究已经引起众多学者的重视,但年龄因素对调节树木径向生长-气候响应关系的研究尚未在当地得到广泛关注。运用树轮气候学方法,建立秦岭牛背梁国家级自然保护区低、中、高3个龄组巴山冷杉(Abies fargesii)的树轮宽度差值年表,探究不同龄组巴山冷杉径向生长与覆盖研究区的0.5°×0.5°分辨率格点气候要素之间的响应关系,以期解译年龄差异对巴山冷杉树木径向生长-气候响应特征的潜在影响。结果表明：不同龄组巴山冷杉差值年表统计特征值存在明显差异,平均敏感度和样本总体代表性随年龄增大而递减,但标准差、样本间平均相关系数和第一特征根变异解释量均以中龄组最低,信噪比却以中龄组最高;春季(3—5月)降水的增加以及秋季(9—11月)气温的升高对低龄组巴山冷杉径向生长的促进作用最强,对中龄组树木生长的促进作用明显减弱,而对高龄组树木生长几乎没有影响;气温对巴山冷杉径向生长的促进作用随树龄增高而增强,差值年表与当年2月、8月、上年5月平均温、平均最高温的相关系数均呈现随龄级增大而逐渐递增的趋势。年龄因素对牛背梁国家级自然保护区巴山冷杉径向生长-气候响应关系存在明确影响,随着年龄的增加,巴...     

Tree-ring growth of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) in two stands under different silvicultural systems in central Italy

A preliminary analysis was made of growth trends in two silver fir forests in the Apennines in central Italy. The forests are closely located but were managed differently in the past. The aim was to verify the climatic variation over time, the influence of extreme events on radial growth and the role of silvicultural systems in defining growth response. The two forests have distinct structures due to differing past silvicultural management. The Camaldoli Forest, containing one-storeyed, evenaged, pure silver fir stands, was essentially managed in the past for wood production and featured high plantation density, low to moderate thinning, and clear cutting every 80–100 years. The La Verna Forest includes multi-layered, unevenaged stands that are mixed in with beech and other broadleaves. Increment cores were collected from aged dominant and healthy trees in the two forests. Climatic data were taken from the Camaldoli station and covers the period 1885–1994. All the analysed dendroecological parameters displayed similar patterns and indicated suitable site conditions for the silver fir. Silvicultural systems played an important role in defining growth pattern and rate. In the evenaged system there were higher growth rates and a greater number of pointer years, whereas there were lower growth rates and long, homogeneous development stages in the semi-natural conditions of La Verna. A rising growth trend recorded in the last three decades in both series could be explained by the consistent extension of the growing season due to a significant increase of mean spring and autumn temperatures. No correlation was found with precipitation while significant correlations were found between tree ring growth and February, April and August temperatures. Preliminary results indicated that the silvicultural system does not bias, but just enhances the ability of the species to record the effects of disturbing factors.     

A procedure for mini-preparations of genomic DNA from needles of silver fir (Abies alba mill.)

We have adapted a procedure for the isolation of genomic DNA from needles of silver fir (Abies alba) to meet the requirements for large-scale analysis of the population genetics of forest trees. Our modifications permit the entire procedure to be carried out in Eppendorf tubes, which greatly minimizes time, plant material, and the amounts of chemicals. DNA is recovered with a mean efficiency of 80 μg/g needles, is suitable for restriction by the common endonucleases, and serves as a substrate for PCR.     

13种茎叶处理除草剂对不同生育期白花鬼针草的生物活性

[目的] 白花鬼针草是一种恶性外来入侵杂草,近年来已侵入农田,对农业生产及生态系统带来严重危害。为筛选防治白花鬼针草的有效除草剂,分析评价了13种常见茎叶处理除草剂对幼苗期和成株期白花鬼针草的防治效果。[方法] 采用整株盆栽法,在白花鬼针草幼苗期（2~3对叶期）和成株期（6~7对叶期）分别进行茎叶喷雾处理,每种除草剂设置3个剂量。[结果] 供试的13种除草剂中,灭生性除草剂草甘膦、草铵膦和敌草快对幼苗期和成株期的白花鬼针草防效达到100%。选择性除草剂中,麦草畏和辛酰溴苯腈对幼苗期和成株期的白花鬼针草均有较好的防效,三氯吡氧乙酸、乙羧氟草醚和氯吡嘧磺隆在高剂量下对幼苗期的白花鬼针草有较好的防除效果,但对成株期的白花鬼针草防效较差,氯氟吡氧乙酸、乳氟禾草灵、灭草松、二氯吡啶酸、乙氧氟草醚对幼苗期和成株期白花鬼针草防效均较差。[结论] 白花鬼针草对多种化学除草剂具有较强的耐药性,生育期对除草剂防除白花鬼针草的效果有较大影响。灭生性除草剂草甘膦、草铵膦、敌草快及选择性除草剂辛酰溴苯腈和麦草畏适用于防除白花鬼针草。     

Leaf phloem alterations in two provenances ofAbies alba Miller (silver fir) during ageing

The phenomenon of premature needle senescence in two Italian provenances of silver fir was studied as part of a more general research project on decliningAbies alba. The two provenances showed a different degree of sensitivity to atmospheric pollutants. Comparative observations on 1-, 3-, 5-, 7- and 9-year-old needles from both provenances highlighted a faster loss of function in the phloem of needles from the Vallombrosa provenance. This fact appears to be related more to a loss of function in the cambium, than to a different rate of degeneration of sieve cells. This phenomenon may help explain why needles of the Vallombrosa provenance tend to be shed sooner than those of the Serra San Bruno provenance.     

Coexistence of Abies alba (Mill.) - Fagus sylvatica (L.) and climate change impact in the Iberian Peninsula: A climatic-niche perspective approach

Abies alba Mill. (European silver fir) and Fagus sylvatica L. (beech) are Eurosiberian species dispersed over the Iberian Peninsula. Climate change predictions indicate a rise in temperature and a decrease in precipitation in this region, threatening the future existence of these species. In the present study we analyzed the future topo-climatic suitability of Abies alba and Fagus sylvatica and the mixed forests of these two species, using the General Linear Models technique and data from the third National Forest Inventory (Ministerio de Agricultura PyA, 2007). We considered two modeling approaches based on niche theory: modeling community (Abieti-Fagetum) and overlapping individual species models. General trends showed an overall decrease in both species’ topo-climatic suitability and indicated that the Pyrenees will play a crucial role as a climatic refuge. The modeling approaches markedly differed, however, in their current and future spatial agreement. Despite good accuracy results, community modeling through co-occurrence does not encompass the environmental space of individual species prejudicing future assessments in new environmental situations, suggesting a need for future studies in community modeling.     

川西亚高山林线岷江冷杉和红杉对气候变化的响应

为揭示川西亚高山林线优势树种岷江冷杉（Abies fargesii var.faxoniana）和红杉（Larix potaninii）径向生长对气候变化的响应差异。通过树木年轮生态学的方法,研究了岷江冷杉和红杉径向生长与年均温的分异现象、生长衰退以及应对严重干旱事件的抵抗力和恢复力稳定性,并结合限制岷江冷杉和红杉径向生长的主要气候因素进行了分析。结果表明：（1）温度是限制林线岷江冷杉径向生长的主要气候因素,而限制红杉径向生长的主要气候因素是降水;（2）岷江冷杉的径向生长与年平均温度的变化趋势一致,红杉在20世纪90年代后径向生长呈现出下降的趋势,与年均温的升高出现分异;（3）1800-2019年间,岷江冷杉出现生长衰退2次,红杉出现生长衰退5次,相同的时间内,红杉的衰退频率高于岷江冷杉;（4）岷江冷杉对严重干旱事件的恢复力相比升温前有所增强,抵抗力相比升温前下降明显,红杉对严重干旱事件的抵抗力和恢复力相比升温前均呈现出下降的趋势。可为川西亚高山林线的植被动态变化预测和历史区域气候重建提供参考。     

Isolation and expression analysis of low temperature-induced genes in white poplar (Populus alba)

Poplar is an important crop and a model system to understand molecular processes of growth, development and responses to environmental stimuli in trees. In this study, we analyzed gene expression in white poplar (Populus alba) plants subjected to chilling. Two forward suppression-subtractive-hybridization libraries were constructed from P. alba plants exposed to low non-freezing temperature for 6 or 48 h. Hundred and sixty-two cDNAs, 54 from the 6-h library and 108 from the 48-h library, were obtained. Isolated genes belonged to six categories of genes, specifically those that: (i) encode stress and defense proteins; (ii) are involved in signal transduction; (iii) are related to regulation of gene expression; (iv) encode proteins involved in cell cycle and DNA processing; (v) encode proteins involved in metabolism and energetic processes; and (vi) are involved in protein fate.Different expression patterns at 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 h at 4 °C and after a recovery of 24 h at 20 °C were observed for isolated genes, as expected according to the class in which the gene putatively belongs. Forty-four of 162 genes contained DRE/LTRE cis-elements in the 5′ proximal promoter of their orthologs in Populus trichocarpa, suggesting that they putatively belong to the CBF regulon. The results contribute new data to the list of possible candidate genes involved in cold response in poplar.     

白花鬼针草入侵对植物群落结构及物种多样性的影响

【目的】阐明白花鬼针草入侵对植物群落组成及物种多样性的影响。【方法】调查广东茂名有白花鬼针草入侵(试验样方)和无白花鬼针草生长(对照样方)的植物群落中植物的种类、盖度、高度和密度,计算不同植物重要值及物种多样性指数,通过皮尔逊相关系数及拟合曲线展现白花鬼针草种群特征与其重要值及物种多样性的关系。【结果】白花鬼针草入侵后植物群落的组成和结构显著改变,由对照样方的104种减少到试验样方的63种,双穗雀稗、白花蛇舌草、香膏萼距花等物种消失,胜红蓟、阔叶丰花草、假臭草等恶性杂草的重要值降低,而马唐、薇甘菊、空心莲子草等物种重要值升高。白花鬼针草入侵降低了物种多样性,试验样方的Patrick丰富度指数(R)、Simpson多样性指数(D)和Shannon-Wiener多样性指数(H)均低于对照样方;白花鬼针草的重要值与以上多样性指数(H、D)和丰富度指数(R)呈显著负相关(P<0.001)。【结论】白花鬼针草入侵减少了物种多样性,并形成单一优势种群群落,对植物群落产生了负效应,对生态环境造成了极大的威胁。     

升温突变对川西道孚林线川西云杉和鳞皮冷杉生长的影响

高山林线作为理想的全球气候变化监测器,是研究植被与气候变化关系的重要场所。利用川西道孚县高山林线川西云杉（Picea likiangensis var.balfouriana）和鳞皮冷杉（Abies squamata）的年轮宽度资料,基于树木年代学的方法,构建差值年表并通过升温突变前后（1995年前后）年轮指数与气候要素的相关分析,探讨了该区林线主要针叶树种的年轮响应变化,为研究青藏高原地区树木与气候响应关系提供研究基础。结果表明：（1）年尺度上,1995年气温突变前后川西云杉和鳞皮冷杉年轮指数和生长弹性时间变化趋势均不显著,没有发生显著的响应分歧现象。（2）月尺度上,升温突变前川西云杉年轮指数与前一年11月月均最高温、5-7月月均温、6月月均最高温、7月月均最低温呈显著正相关;鳞皮冷杉则与前一年11月月均温、11月月均最高温和12月月均温呈显著正相关;表明升温突变前林线树木生长分别受夏季和冬季温度控制;升温突变后川西云杉年轮指数与前一年11月月均温呈显著负相关,和当年2月降水量及7月月均最低温呈显著正相关;而鳞皮冷杉则与当年5月月均温和5月月均最低温呈显著负相关,与5月降水的正相关性达到最大;表明升温突变后林线川西云杉生长依然受夏季温度控制,而鳞皮冷杉生长则受到春季干旱胁迫的影响。未来气候若随着升温出现干暖化,则林线鳞皮冷杉可能会发生明显的响应分歧现象。     

涝渍胁迫对入侵植物白花鬼针草及其本地近缘种金盏银盘生长和生理特性的影响

[目的]揭示涝渍胁迫下白花鬼针草与其本地近缘种金盏银盘的生长和生理特性差异。[方法]研究对照和涝渍胁迫下白花鬼针草和金盏银盘株高、新生不定根数目、净光合速率（P_n）、总生物量、相对生长速率、叶面积等生长和生理指标的变化。[结果]涝渍胁迫后入侵植物白花鬼针草比本地种金盏银盘保持了更高的株高、新生不定根数目和P_n（P<0.01）,更高的总生物量、相对生长速率、根生物量、茎生物量、叶生物量、叶面积（P<0.05）。涝渍胁迫10 d内,白花鬼针草根系活力和光系统II最大光量子产量显著高于金盏银盘（P<0.05）,涝渍胁迫20 d后2物种的2个参数趋于一致,这些结果表明涝渍对白花鬼针草生长的负面影响较小。涝渍胁迫前期更快的不定根生长速度和更高的根系脱氢酶活力可缓解涝渍对白花鬼针草的胁迫,减少了涝渍对光合系统的破坏,使其保持更高的P_n,从而有助于白花鬼针草保持更高的生长速率,是白花鬼针草耐受涝渍的生理机制。[结论]与本地近缘种金盏银盘相比,短期涝渍可使入侵植物白花鬼针草形成生长优势,华南地区雨季短期集中降水所形成的土壤涝渍有利于白花鬼针草的入侵。全球气候变化造成的降水不平衡性可能会加剧白花鬼针草在华南地区的入侵。     

不同产地木耳菜的染色体核型分析

为了研究木耳菜核型特征及不同产地间的进化关系,以来自7个产地的8个木耳菜品种为材料,采用常规压片法进行核型分析,并进行核型进化趋势分析和主成分分析。结果表明:(1)所有木耳菜的染色体数目均为2n=2x=44,未见异常染色体,染色体类型均为中部着丝粒染色体(m)或近中部着丝粒染色体(sm),且m数量多于sm。(2)不同产地的木耳菜在染色体核型公式、核型类型、随体位置、染色体长度比、臂比及核型不对称系数等指标均存在明显差异;随体均为1对,但随体位置不同。(3)核型类型为1A、1B和2A型,其中1A型5种,数量最多。(4)染色体长度比范围为1.51~2.06,平均臂比值范围为1.30~1.48,仅有吉林‘利丰’和江西‘航城’存在臂比大于2的染色体。(5)核型不对称系数范围为56.25%~59.17%,核型的对称程度较高,推测木耳菜的进化程度较为原始,其中河北‘金发’是最原始,江西‘航城’最进化。研究结果为木耳菜的细胞遗传学研究提供了参考依据。     

植物群落类型和围栏封育对高山林线岷江冷杉幼苗成活的影响

林线树种幼苗的生长紧密关系着高山林线的形成。通过室内发芽实验测定了岷江冷杉种子萌发能力。2015年春,在川西巴郎山岷江冷杉林线之上的高山林线交错带,通过播种处理(播种和不播种),研究了不同植物群落类型(灌木和草地群落)和围栏处理(围栏和不围栏)对岷江冷杉幼苗成活率的影响,以期为进一步探讨高山林线形成机制提供科学参考。结果表明:(1)岷江冷杉室内发芽率31.4%,成活率随时间下降。(2)灌木群落的全年日平均空气温湿度显著高于草本群落,而两群落的全年日平均土壤温度无显著差异。(3)未播种样地没有发现岷江冷杉幼苗,说明林线交错带缺乏岷江冷杉种子。(4)与不围栏样地相比,围栏封育分别显著提高了岷江冷杉幼苗成活率2.0%(2015年)和2.2%(2016年);与灌木群落相比,草本群落中岷江冷杉幼苗成活率显著提高0.8%(2015年)和1.2%(2016年),说明灌木对林线交错带幼苗更新具有更强的竞争作用。围栏处理下,草本群落中岷江冷杉幼苗成活率显著高于灌木群落;不围栏处理下,草本群落中岷江冷杉幼苗成活率显著低于灌木群落,2017年在不围栏样地没有幼苗存活,说明动物干扰对林线交错带森林更新有阻碍作用。研究表明,高山林线交错带森林更新,受种子、植物竞争和动物干扰(例如,放牧)等多方面因素的共同影响,可以通过播种、植物剔除(去除竞争)和围栏等促进幼苗更新和成活。     

The geographical distribution of genetic variation of silver fir (Abies alba,Pinaceae) in relation to its migration history

Silver fir presently occurs in many mountainous regions of eastern, western, southern and Central Europe. In order to elucidate the biogeographic history of fir populations in different European areas, the distribution of area-specific alleles at eight enzyme loci and the allele frequency distributions at seven polymorphic enzyme loci were investigated in seed or bud samples from 48 provenances comprising 98 single stands. Due to great genetic divergence among different populations located near the ancient glacial retreats, it was concluded that silver fir survived in five refugia during the last glaciation but migrated from only three refugia to its present natural range. The occurrence of unique alleles in particular fir areas indicated its migratory routes to the north and the existence of a few introgression zones where silver fir from different refugia has met during its expansion.     

基于MaxEnt模型的入侵植物白花鬼针草的分布预测及适生性分析

【背景】白花鬼针草为农区恶性杂草,原产于美洲,现已广泛分布于世界热带及亚热带地区,但其在全球和中国的适生区域及适生等级还不明确。【方法】利用MaxEnt生态位模型对白花鬼针草在全球以及中国的潜在适生区进行预测。【结果】白花鬼针草在全球的分布更多受到温度因素的影响。白花鬼针草的适生区主要集中在北半球和南半球15°~30°之间的热带和亚热带地区。其中,北美南部、南美中南部、非洲南部、东南亚北部以及大洋洲中南部沿海地区为白花鬼针草中、高度适生区。白花鬼针草在中国的适生区主要位于广东、广西、海南、云南、福建、台湾。到2070年,白花鬼针草在全球的适生区面积与当前相似,但在中国的适生区有所增大。【结论】白花鬼针草在我国有进一步扩张的风险。     

濒危植物梵净山冷杉的球果与种子性状研究北大核心CSCD

梵净山冷杉(Abies fanjingshanensis)为国家一级保护濒危植物。为了揭示梵净山冷杉球果发育和成熟过程的性状特征,以确定成熟球果的适宜采种期。该研究对梵净山冷杉自然生长区内成年结实母树的球果进行跟踪观测和定期采集,通过物理解剖和形态学参数测定,比较分析不同采种期梵净山冷杉的球果、种鳞和种子的性状差异。结果显示:(1)梵净山冷杉的球果每年7月中旬开始形成,10月中旬开始成熟,发育早期至发育后期球果的长度和宽度显著增加,发育后期至成熟期形态和颜色均无明显变化。(2)成熟球果平均长、宽、鲜重、干重和相对含水量分别为7.18 cm、3.84 cm、36.98 g、20.33 g和45.06%。(3)成熟球果的平均种鳞层数为30.76层,种鳞总数为250.67片,平均出种量436.67粒,平均种子饱满率82.49%。(4)成熟球果基部、中部、上部的种子性状不同,且球果中部的种子性状参数最大,饱满率最高,种子平均长、宽、厚分别为9.14、2.30、2.37 mm,千粒重11.44 g。研究表明,梵净山冷杉的球果从形成至成熟过程约3个月,成熟球果的最佳采种时间为10月下旬,发育后期和成熟球果的形态和颜色差异不明显,不能以颜色和形态作为球果成熟的判定依据;种鳞与球果的发育和成熟同步,球果中部的种鳞能够完全发育,且形状参数最大,孕育的种子最饱满;梵净山冷杉成熟球果出种量大、饱满率高,但是种子小、重量轻。     

The incidence of mistletoe (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Viscum album</Emphasis> ssp. <Emphasis Type="Italic">abietis</Emphasis>) on silver fir (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Abies alba</Emphasis>) in Croatia

The research on incidence of mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. abietis) on silver fir (Abies alba) was carried out in natural fir stands in Croatia. In the area of Gorski Kotar 32.8 % of the examined dominant fir trees were infected with mistletoe. The mistletoe incidence was presented according to the damage degrees of silver fir from 0 (healthy trees) to 4 (dead trees), rated by the crown defoliation and needle discoloration. With the increase of incidence, mistletoe spreads more onto more vital, i.e. less damaged trees. In the Dinaric Alps 28.6% of the examined fir trees were infected, this percentage amounting to 27.1% for the mountainous regions between the Sava and Drava rivers. The site and stand parameters (exposure, elevation, site quality, forest community and crown closure) were analysed in order to establish whether there was a correlation between these parameters and mistletoe incidence. There was a negative correlation between the elevation and mistletoe incidence. Among the compartments with a closed stands there were considerably less compartments with higher mistletoe incidence than among compartments with a sparsely closed and understocked stands. The other analysed site and stand parameters individually had no significant influence on mistletoe incidence. The correlation of silver fir mortality in 2004 and mistletoe incidence in 2002/03 was analysed, and their strong correlation was established. Mistletoe could be considered as a bioindicator of silver fir decline, and probably a significant contributor to that decline. In the areas where mistletoe incidence is great it can be presumed that silver fir is significantly damaged.     

阈值温度和积温对川西高原林线岷江冷杉径向生长的影响

高山林线的形成机理一直是高山生态学讨论的一个焦点问题,其中林线树木生长的阈值温度一直是研究热点。利用川西高原九寨沟弓杠岭林线岷江冷杉(Abies faxoniana)树木径向生长数据,通过树轮宽度-气候因子关系分析,探讨阈值温度和积温对林线岷江冷杉径向生长的影响。结果表明:林线岷江冷杉径向生长主要受到温度限制,其中林线岷江冷杉径向生长与当年生长季(7、8和9月)、冬季(12、1和2)及上一年9、10月温度显著正相关(P0.05),但与降水的相关性较弱。林线岷江冷杉径向生长与不同起始温度的初日负相关,与不同起始温度的终日正相关,且与9.5℃阈值温度的初日负相关最强(P0.05),与6.5℃阈值温度的终日正相关最强(P0.05)。林线岷江冷杉径向生长还与7—9.5℃的积温及9.5℃持续天数显著正相关(P0.05),说明7—9.5℃可能是形成层活动的阈值温度,尤其7℃可能是林线岷江冷杉生长的起始温度。林线岷江冷杉生长期从4月中旬开始到10月初结束,随着1980年后温度的显著升高,生长期活动积温开始增加,生长期初日提前(4.6d/10a,r~2=0.19,P=0.01),生长期终日延后(1.8 d/10a),使得生长期延长(6.4 d/10a),进而对林线岷江冷杉径向生长有显著的促进作用。未来气候变暖可能会使川西林线树木生长增加,林线可能会上移。     

藏东南急尖长苞冷杉群落空间点格局分析及其时空动态

为探究藏东南色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉（Abies georgei var.smithii）群落的空间分布格局及其时空动态,在急尖长苞冷杉纯林中设置1个1 hm²的固定样地,记录样地内所有高度>2 m的急尖长苞冷杉的年龄、胸径、冠幅和坐标等指标。根据径级分布分析种群的径级结构,采用点格局分析方法对种群的空间格局进行分析。结果显示：（1）急尖长苞冷杉的径级分布为倒"J"型,结构稳定,自然更新良好。（2）成树在各个时期和不同尺度上都呈随机分布;幼树在1891年之后的各个时期在小尺度（2 m）上呈聚集分布,1981-2012年在1-41 m尺度上陆续出现聚集分布;幼苗在1861-1920年在小尺度（1-2 m）上呈聚集分布,1951-1980年出现聚集分布的尺度范围最大（1-35 m、41 m和48 m）。（3）在不同时期中,不同年龄组树木之间几乎都呈正关联或无关联;成树和幼树随时间推移从无关联到在各个尺度上陆续出现正关联的变化;成树和幼苗随时间呈无关联、中大尺度（32-35 m、44 m和49 m）正关联和无关联的变化;幼苗和幼树呈现从无关联转变为小尺度（8 m）正关联和小、中尺度（1-30 m）正关联的变化。研究结果表明：成树在小尺度上对幼龄树存在一定的抑制,但在较大尺度是促进的。1951-1980年样地中的幼苗数量大量增加,随后30年幼树的数量因幼苗长大也有增加,这在一定程度上增大了竞争。但总体来看急尖长苞冷杉群落在演替过程中具有种内促进作用。     

色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉种群不同龄级立木的空间分布格局

植物种群空间分布格局是种群个体在水平空间的分布、配置状况,是种群对环境适应的生存策略及适应机制的反映。以色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉（Abies georgei var.smithii）原始林为研究对象,在色季拉山东坡设置100 m×100 m固定样地,采用相邻网格法将样地划分为25个20 m×20 m的调查单元,对样地内所有基径≥0.1 cm的急尖长苞冷杉进行调查,记录林木的坐标、胸径、基径、冠幅等信息。依据基径和胸径两个指标将林木划分为12个径级和6个龄级（幼苗、幼树、小树、中树、大树、老树）,对种群的径级特征及空间分布格局进行分析。结果显示：（1）急尖长苞冷杉种群在不同径级上的分布成倒"J"型。（2）种群整体、幼苗、幼树随空间尺度的增大依次呈现集群分布、随机分布和均匀分布,小树、中树、大树、老树在所研究尺度内均为随机分布。（3）幼树与幼苗在小尺度上接近或达到负关联,在中、大尺度无显著关联;小树、中树、大树、老树在空间分布上与幼苗、幼树的关联性符合Janzen-Connell假说,但小树、中树、大树、老树之间无显著关联。上述结果表明：色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉种群为稳定增长型种群,小径木以集群方式相互庇护以提高自身适应环境的能力,大径木在小、中尺度抑制林下更新,在大尺度则促进更新。该结果有助于揭示色季拉山急尖长苞冷杉种群的现状与动态规律,可为深入研究该种群维持机制提供理论依据。
