土壤水分条件对内蒙古典型草原水汽和二氧化碳通量的影响研究

本文基于2007年和2008年生长季内蒙古羊草和大针茅草原湍流观测资料,分析了两种典型草原下垫面生长季的不同土壤水分条件下水汽和二氧化碳通量交换特征及其控制因子。主要结果如下:（1）在植被生长峰值期,日尺度上,干旱条件下土壤湿度是潜热通量的主要控制因子,而土壤水分条件较好时潜热通量主要受净辐射控制。（2）与大针茅草原相比,羊草草原叶面积指数较大,水分条件较好时,其潜热通量平均值更大,CO₂吸收能力更强,吸收CO₂更多;但在土壤水分胁迫出现时,羊草草原叶面的气孔闭合度急剧增加,大针茅草原的潜热通量、和CO₂吸收反而更大,表现出更为耐旱的植被特性。（3）地表导度可以用来解释土壤水分条件对羊草和大针茅草原碳水通量的影响。

Comparison of CO2 Effluxes and Their Driving Factors Between Two Temperate Steppes in Inner Mongolia, China

Soil respiration is a key component of the global terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle. The static opaque chamber method was used to measure the CO2 effluxes from soil of a semiarid Aneurolepidium chinense steppe and a Stipa krylovii steppe in the Xilin River Basin of Inner Mongolia, China from March 2002 to December 2004. The results indicated that the soil respiration rates of the semiarid Aneurolepidium chinense steppe and the Stipa krylovii steppe were both relatively high from mid-May to mid-September of each year and remained low during the rest of the year. The minimum value of soil respiration occurred in December or January and negative effluxes of CO2 appeared for several days during the non-growing season of individual years at the two sampling sites. A high annual variation was found in the two steppes with the coefficients of variance (CV) being over 94%, even high to 131%. The annual sums of soil CO2 efflux of the Aneurolepidium chinense steppe varied between 356.4 gC m?2 yr?1 and 408.8 gC m?2 yr?1, while those of the Stipa krylovii steppe in the three years were in the range of 110.6 gC m?2 yr?1 to 148.6 gC m?2 yr?1. The mean respiration rates of the Aneurolepidium chinense steppe were significantly higher than those of the Stipa krylovii steppe in different statistical periods with the exception of the non-growing season. About 59.9% and 80.6% of the soil respiration variations in both steppes for the whole sampling period were caused by the changes of temperature and soil water content. In the Aneurolepidium chinense steppe, the soil respiration rate has significant or extremely significant positive correlation (r = 0.58 ? 0.85, p < 0.05 or p < 0.01) with air temperature and ground temperature of the topsoil except in 2002; the unique contributions of temperature change to the soil respiration variation of the three years were 53.3%, 81.0% and 58.6%, respectively. But, for the Stipa krylovii steppe in the same time interval, the soil water content (especially that of the 10–20 cm layer) has a greater effect on the change of soil respiration, and the unique contributions of the change of the 10–20 cm soil water content to the variations of soil respiration in 2002 and 2003 were 60.0% and 54.3%, respectively. In 2004, in spite of the higher contribution of temperature than soil water content, the contribution of ground temperature at a depth of 10 cm was only 46.2%, much weaker than that of any single year in the Aneurolepidium chinense steppe.

放牧制度下荒漠草原主要植物生物量及能量分配研究

以内蒙古苏尼特右旗短花针茅荒漠草原为研究对象,通过划区轮牧与自由放牧的比较试验,从植物构件方面研究了3种主要植物种短花针茅、无芒隐子草和碱韭营养枝、生殖枝、分蘖节及其根生物量和能量分配对不同放牧制度的响应。结果表明,禁牧和划区轮牧有利于植物的地上部分生长和有性繁殖,自由放牧区短花针茅和无芒隐子草将把更多的资源和能量用于营养生长,有性生殖严重受阻,以抵御不利的生长环境;划区轮牧提高了碱韭分蘖节的生物量、短花针茅和碱韭构件能量现存量及总能量现存量。短花针茅、无芒隐子草和碱韭根的生物量、能量现存量、生物量分配比例以及根冠比能量现存量、根的能量分配比例划区轮牧区与自由放牧区均高于禁牧对照区;短花针茅、无芒隐子草和碱韭不同构件及植株整体热值划区轮牧区也高于自由放牧区。营养枝与生殖枝的生物量和能量分配没有显著的颉颃关系,但营养枝与分蘖节生物量和能量分配比例间呈显著的颉颃关系。     

鄂尔多斯草原针茅生长高度分析

通过对鄂尔多斯草原短花针茅(Stipa breviflora)的大范围对比观测试验,得出针茅的旬生长高度与旬平均气温和旬降水量相关密切。针茅本旬生长高度与上一旬的生长高度相关系数高达0.957,得出针茅的生长符合线性生长规律。因此分析建立了多元线性回归模型和生长高度预测模型。经拟合检验效果较好,预测模型能在一定精度水平上准确地预测针茅的生长高度。     

Seasonal patterns of soil respiration in three types of communities along grass-desert shrub transition in Inner Mongolia,China

The seasonal dynamics of soil respiration in steppe (S. bungeana), desert shrub (A. ordosica), and shrub-perennial (A. ordosica + C. komarovii) communities were investigated during the growth season (May to October) in 2006; their environmental driving factors were also analyzed. In the three communities, soil respiration showed similar characteristics in their growth seasons, with peak respiration values in July and August owing to suitable temperature and soil moisture conditions during this period. Meanwhile, changes in soil respiration were greatly influenced by temperatures and surface soil moistures. Soil water content at a depth of 0 to 10 cm was identified as the key environmental factor affecting the variation in soil respiration in the steppe. In contrast, in desert shrub and shrub-perennial communities, the dynamics of soil respiration was significantly influenced by air temperature. Similarly, the various responses of soil respiration to environmental factors may be attributed to the different soil textures and distribution patterns of plant roots. In desert ecosystems, precipitation results in soil respiration pulses. Soil carbon dioxide (CO₂) effluxes greatly increased after rainfall rewetting in all of the ecosystems under study. However, the precipitation pulse effect differed across the ecosystem. We propose that this may be a result of a reverse effect from the soil texture.     

Effects of the grazing systems on germinable soil seed bank of desert steppe

We studied a soil seed bank in the Stipa breviflora desert steppe under three grassland management systems, namely continuous grazing, rotational grazing, and no grazing, from 1999 until 2007. The germinable seed bank species in rotational, continuous and no grazing were 11, 9 and 8 species, respectively. Rotational grazing increased the number of seed bank plant species and perennial grasses. The density of germinal soil seed bank was significantly higher in the enclosed area (19,533.33 seeds/m²) than those in rotational (3,233.33 seeds/m²) and continuous grazing areas (2,553.60 seeds/m²). The vertical distribution of the soil seed bank had a similar trend: 75.06%–83.19% of the seeds are distributed in the top 0–5 cm soil layer, 14.16%–21.68% in the 5–10 cm layer, and 2.65%–4.95% in the 10–15 cm layer, which varied between the grazing treatments. Density of the soil seed bank was significantly higher in the enclosed area, and there was no significant difference between rotational and continuous grazing. The Margalef and Shannon-Wiener indices for the soil seed bank were higher for rotational grazing treatment than for continuous grazing. The Sorensen’s similarity index for the soil seed bank between the enclosed and rotational grazing areas reached 0.857.     

巴音布鲁克高寒草原羊茅(Festuca ovina)群落生态位特征

为了解高寒草原羊茅群落植物生态位特征,运用Levins生态宽度指数和Cowell生态位相似性比例,对巴音布鲁克羊茅群落植物生态位宽度及生态位相似性比例进行计算.结果表明:9种植物4个资源维上羊茅的生态位宽度最大,其次为黄花棘豆、委陵菜,说明羊茅对环境的适应能力最强.生态位宽度较大的羊茅和紫花针茅与其他物种生态位相似性比例最高,说明羊茅和紫花针茅与其他物种存在着较大的资源竞争.而生态位较小的物种与其他物种生态位相似性比例较小.放牧使得羊茅群落内物种发生变化,在放牧压力持续增大的情况下,以羊茅和紫花针茅为优势种群的草原将向以黄花棘豆和委陵菜占优的退化方向演替.     

内蒙古中西部草原区五种针茅的遗传多样性研究

利用RAPD（Random Amplified Polymorphism DNA, RAPD）分子标记技术,对内蒙古中西部草原区16个不同地理种群的五种针茅的遗传多样性及其种间关系进行了研究。从102个10碱基随机引物中筛选出28个有效引物,共扩增出389条带,多态性条带345条,占88.69%,说明针茅属植物具有丰富的遗传多样性,对环境的适应能力较强,PCA分析表明水热成为其地理分布的决定性因素。依据五种针茅的Jaccard相似系数所做的UPGMA聚类分析表明,大针茅和克氏针茅之间的遗传距离比较小聚为一类,它们与本氏针茅、短花针茅和小针茅间的遗传距离都比较大。
