金佛山方竹经营对扁刺栲群落物种多样性和优势种种群结构的影响

为探讨金佛山方竹经营对扁刺栲群落物种多样性和优势种种群结构的影响,该研究以金佛山的扁刺栲自然群落和金佛山方竹经营群落为对象,分析了两类群落的物种组成特征、物种多样性及优势种种群结构。结果表明：(1)两种群落内共记录维管束植物84种,隶属于40科63属,以樟科、蔷薇科、壳斗科、山茶科物种为主;扁刺栲为群落优势种,中华木荷和灰柯为次优势种,金佛山方竹为灌木层优势种,扁刺栲群落组成与亚热带其他地区的扁刺栲群落组成相似。(2)金佛山方竹经营群落的灌木层物种丰富度显著低于自然群落,草本层Shannon-Wiener指数和Pielou指数均显著低于自然群落。(3)扁刺栲和灰柯在自然群落中为稳定型种群,而在金佛山方竹经营群落中为衰退型种群,中华木荷在两类群落中均为衰退型种群。(4)自然群落中扁刺栲、中华木荷、灰柯种群的萌枝率、有萌个体率和幼苗相对优势度均高于金佛山方竹经营群落。综上认为,金佛山方竹经营对金佛山扁刺栲群落灌木层和草本层物种多样性产生了负面影响,并显著影响扁刺栲群落优势种种群更新和维持。     

桉树与红锥混交对土壤养分及林下植物功能群的影响

桉树人工林对生态环境的影响一直是全球性争议的热点问题,桉树与珍贵乡土树种混交的生态环境效应备受关注。为探究桉树混交营林措施对林地土壤养分及林下植物功能群的影响,该研究以桉树纯林(PE)、桉树×红锥混交林(MEC)和红锥纯林(PCH)为对象,开展了林下植物群落及环境因子的调查测定。研究结果显示：不同林分的土壤理化性质具有显著差异,混交林的土壤pH、有效氮(AN)和有效磷(AP)含量显著高于纯林;而土壤含水量(SMC)、有机碳(SOC)、总氮(TN)含量及C∶N和C∶P在混交林中没有显著优势,并呈现PEMEC>PCH的趋势。混交林显著增加林下木本植物功能群(WFG)的物种丰富度,而PCH显著增加蕨类植物功能群(FeFG)的物种丰富度。混交林的WFG和禾草植物功能群(GFG)的重要值均显著高于红锥纯林,而红锥纯林FeFG的重要值显著高于混交林。主坐标分析结果表明,MEC与PE的林下植物功能群组成差异不显著,但与PCH的差异显著;冗余分析结果揭示了AN和AP是WFG占优势的主要影响因子,SMC、TN...     

刺栲(Castanopsis hystrix)的气体交换和叶绿素a荧光特征

用LI-6400便携式光合测定系统和PAM-2100便携式植物荧光分析仪分别在初夏和秋季测定了广州龙眼洞林场刺栲(Castanopsishystrix)幼树叶片的气体交换和叶绿素a荧光参数。结果表明:1)刺栲冠层阳生叶的光饱和点为400μmolphotonsm-2s-1,最大光合速率在4-6μmolm-2s-1之间,说明刺栲幼树保持阳生植物的特征。阴生叶与阳生叶的叶绿素a/b值相似,均约为2.4,而阴生叶叶绿素b含量高于阳生叶,表明阴生叶具有潜在利用弱光的能力;2)刺栲幼树冠层叶片的PSⅡ的最大光化学效率Fv/Fm和光化学量子产额(Yield)的日动态变化在中午略有下降,说明其在强光下能发生可逆性的光抑制。刺栲冠层阳生叶的最大光合能力比较低,整个冠层叶能高效而稳定地利用散射和透射光,这些特征使得常绿的刺栲幼树能在林边或林下良好生长,较好地适应不同的光环境并成功渡过幼苗期,最终成为群落中的上层优势种。     

鼎湖山锥栗粗木质残体的分解和元素动态

选取锥栗(Castanopsischinensis)粗木质残体(coarsewoodydebris,CWD)的3个径级(径级1-3分别为5-10cm,10-20cm和20-30cm),并且将每个径级的锥栗粗木质残体分为Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ5个分解阶段。通过测定锥栗粗木质残体3个径级的Ⅰ-Ⅲ阶段的7种化学元素(C、N、P、K、Ca、Na、Mg)的浓度和CWD密度变化来研究其分解过程中的元素动态、分解速率及其分解过程中基质质量的变化。到分解阶段Ⅲ时,3个径级的重量与原来相比分别损失了36%、48%和43%。元素N、P、Mg、Ca、Na的浓度升高。元素N的累积可能和锥栗粗木质残体中寄生着固氮细菌和真菌有关。元素P、Mg、Ca、Na的浓度升高则可能是由于这4个元素因淋溶流失的速度小于锥栗粗木质残体质量的损失速度,造成元素积聚,元素C、K的浓度降低。N/P比值是较好的分解指示指标。虽然存在元素的净释放,但是由于C和其它主要元素的释放速率较慢,因而锥栗粗木质残体是森林中重要的C库和长期的元素来源。     

红锥叶绿体基因组特征及系统发育分析

为确定红锥(Castanopsis hystrix)叶绿体基因组的结构组成情况,判定其在锥属中的进化位置及与同锥属叶绿体基因组的区别,为锥属物种鉴定、遗传多样性分析和资源保护提供相关依据。使用Illumina HiSeq 2500测序平台对红锥叶绿体基因组进行测序,通过生物信息学分析方法进行序列组装、注释和特征分析,并利用R、Python、MISA、CodonW和MEGA 6等生物信息学软件对其基因组结构和数目、密码子偏好性、序列重复、简单重复序列(simple sequence repeat,SSR)位点和系统发育进行分析。结果表明红锥叶绿体基因组大小为153754 bp,呈现四分体结构;共拥有130个基因,包含85个编码基因、37个tRNA基因和8个rRNA基因;通过密码子偏好性分析,平均有效密码子数为55.5,说明其密码子随机性强、偏好性低;通过SSR及长重复片段分析,检测到45个重复序列及111个SSR位点;与近缘种比较,发现其叶绿体基因组序列高度保守,尤其蛋白质编码序列相似度极高;此外,系统发育分析发现红锥与海南锥聚为一支,关系密切。本研究得到了红锥的叶绿体基因组基本情况与系统发育位置,为红锥的物种辨别、天然种群遗传多样性与功能基因组学提供前期研究铺垫。     

Difference of invasion behavior between two climax species,Castanopsis cuspidata var.sieboldii andMechilus thunbergii,on lava flows on Miyakejima,Japan

The invasion behavior of two climax species,Machilus thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. andCastanopsis cuspidata (Thunb.) Schottky var.sieboldii (Makino) Nakai, was studied on the 1874 and 1962 lava flows on Miyakejima, Japan. On the 1962 lava, zoochorousM. thunbergii appeared almost only under crowns of pioneeringAlnus sieboldiana Matsum, while bolochorousC. cuspidata var.sieboldii occurred only along the borders of the lava. The three species,A. sieboldiana, M. thunbergii andC. cuspidata var.sieboldii, corresponded, in order, to the temporal sequence of invasion in the boundary forest and the spatial sequence from margin to center on the 1962 lava. Seed or fruit dispersion is important in primary succession in the case of large disturbances.     

米槠次生林和天然林细根养分及化学计量特征

探讨人为干扰对森林养分利用和生物地球化学循环特征的影响,对亚热带米槠(Castanopsis carlesii)次生林和天然林细根化学计量特征及其随土壤深度(0～80cm)的变化趋势进行了研究。结果表明,混合线性模型表明林分和土层深度对细根化学计量特征影响的主效应显著,但是交互作用不显著;米槠次生林细根N和P含量均显著低于天然林,而细根C浓度、C:N、C:P显著高于天然林,天然林1～2mm细根C浓度显著低于次生林;天然林和次生林细根N、P含量均随土层深度增加而呈显著下降趋势,C:N、C:P、N:P均随土层深度增加而呈显著上升趋势,且两林分下降趋势无显著差异;天然林和次生林细根N、P含量及N:P分别与土壤全N、全P含量和N:P存在线性关系,而细根N、P含量和N:P随土层深度变化均与直径显著相关,与细根比根长(SRL)无关。天然林经过人为干扰后,细根化学计量特征随土层深度变化规律虽未发生改变,但细根N和P浓度显著降低。     

Seedling establishment ofCastanopsis cuspidata var.sieboldii andPersea thunbergii on lava and scoria of the 1962 eruption on Miyake-jima Island,the Izu Islands

Seedling establishment ofCastanopsis cuspidata var.sieboldii Nakai andPersea thunbergii Kosterm. (Machilus thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc.) in early succession was studied on the lava and the scoria of the 1962 eruption on Miyake-jima Island of the Izu Islands. While tall individuals (> 1 m) ofP. thunbergii were found on both the lava and the scoria, those ofC. cuspidata (> 1 m) were found only on the lava. The height growth rate ofC. cuspidata was very low on the scoria, and there was no individual ofC. cuspidata taller than 0.4 m on the scoria. The proportion of yellow leaved individuals was much higher (37.1%) inC. cuspidata than inP. thunbergii (4.0%) on the scoria, while it was similar between the two species on the lava.Persea thunbergii seemed to be able to establish on both the lava and the scoria, butC. cuspidata established only on the lava. The differences in growth rate and vigor between the two species on the lava and the scoria in early succession may influence later stages of succession.     

Species turnover and diversity patterns along an evergreen broad-leaved forest coenocline

Direct gradient analysis was applied to the evergreen broad-leaved forest coenocline in the Tatera Forest Reserve, Japan. 10 quadrats of 0.1 -0.05 ha were laid out from 140 m to 560 m above sea level at intervals of 25–70 m. Gradient analysis revealed that distributions of many species terminated or started at ca. 400 m. Community similarity, calculated in Percentage Similarity (PS) and Community Coefficient (CC), changed abruptly below and above the 400 m contour, suggesting a change of vegetation structure at this altitude, which was also clear from population distributions. The spatial turnover rate of species along the altitudinal gradient was calculated in two ways: as the Average turnover rate along the whole range of the gradient, and as the Zone turnover rate at individual altitudes. The overall rates calculated for five categories of populations: DBH > 10 cm, DBH >3 cm, all woody species, herb-layer, and total vegetation, were- 0.0011 to- 0.0021 for PS, and - 0.0009 to- 0.0019 for CC. The calculated rates (PS basis) indicate that a 95% change in species composition is reached at 1120 to 620 m altitude. Similarly, the rates -0.0009 to - 0.0019 (CC) correspond to 1410 - 680 m. The altitudinal range expected here for a 95% change agrees with the actual elevation of forest zonation in northwestern Kyushu. The average rate of both PS and CC in the herb-layer population was 1.56 times higher than the rate in the woody species population, showing a more rapid change in herb-layer population than in the woody ones along the gradient. The Zone turnover rates were higher at the 370–440 m belt than those below and above the belt. This coincided with the interchanging pattern in population distributions and the abrupt change in similarity at about 400 m above sea level. This may be due to the change in environmental conditions such as physiography and air humidity. In the diversity measurements, the species density per 100 m² showed a gradual increase in the DBH >3 cm population but a constant level in the DBH >10 cm population along the whole range of the forest coenocline studied, while index values of S₍₁₀₀₎ and Shannon's H showed decreasing trends in the same gradient with a few exceptionally high and low values.     

广东优势群落甜槠林多样性研究

采用每木调查法,对广东粤北石门台和粤中象头山地区甜槠（Castanopsis eyrie（Champ.） Tutch.）林样方内胸径≥ 1 cm的乔、灌木进行测量,记录其种名、胸径、高度和在样方中的坐标位置等指标,对群落的植物组成、区系成分、优势种及物种多样性进行分析。结果显示：石门台样地有维管植物112种,隶属36科54属;象头山样地有维管植物109种,隶属36科59属。两个群落均具有明显的热带向亚热带过渡的性质。其中,石门台样地与华东、华中地区联系紧密;象头山样地则与中国台湾、日本的岛屿联系更多。比较两个地区的群落特征发现,他们的相似性较高,物种多样性指数接近,纬度并不是决定群落植物多样性高低的因素,小环境、群落演替进程及人为因素对群落植物多样性的影响更大。
