江苏典型淤长岸段潮滩盐生植被及其土壤肥力特征

江苏沿海中部在辐射沙洲的屏蔽下 ,成为典型的淤长性岸段。滩涂土壤具有特殊的肥力特征。通过对东台市笆斗垦区这一典型淤长性海岸外侧潮滩断面的地形测量和盐土植被群落调查 ,结合历年 TM遥感卫星影像图片 ,选择了 5个地点 ,分别代表海堤内茅草滩、海堤外茅草滩、原生盐蒿滩、由互花米草演替而来的盐蒿滩及互花米草滩 ,并对各代表点进行群落样方调查和土壤采样 ,对土壤样品进行有机质含量、总氮含量等肥力特征的分析。结果表明 :11号点的有机质和全氮最高 ,分别为 1.6 32 %和 0 .0 6 7% ,3号点的全磷最高 ,为 0 .15 1% ,而 5号点的全钾和全盐最高 ,分别为 1.72 4 %和 1.82 3%。2 1号点的有机质和全氮在表层非常高 ,到第 2层急剧下降 ,再往下变化也较小 ,其变化幅度明显高于其他点。 3各点土壤的平均粒径从 1号点向 5号点逐渐变粗。对这些土壤肥力特征和盐生植被的关系进行了分析和讨论 ,指出凡受互花米草影响的土壤 ,其垂直变化梯度较小 ,而其它盐土植被类型土壤的垂直变化梯度较大

Characteristics of halophyte and associated soil along aggradational muddy coasts in Jiangsu Province

The middle part of Jiangsu coasts, with a width of 200 km sheltered by a large radial sandbank (or tidal current ridge) system of the southwestern Yellow Sea, are characterized by aggradational muddy substrate which supports a variety of densely distributed halophytic plants. The intertidal mudflat is plane with an average gradient of 0.2%. The halophytic plants succession and associated soil show a zonal spatial distribution from the bank to the sea. In addition, both the introduce of Spartina alterniflora...
