南北盘江森林生态系统水源涵养功能评价

森林生态系统水源涵养功能是植被层、枯枝落叶层和土壤层对降雨进行再分配的复杂过程。运用综合蓄水能力法,基于森林资源二类调查数据,估算了贵州省南北盘江流域不同类型森林生态系统的林冠层截留降水量、枯落物持水量和土壤蓄水量,分析了流域尺度森林生态系统的水源涵养能力及其时空变化。结果表明：① 南北盘江流域森林涵养水源总量约6.13×10⁸m³,单位面积水源涵养量629.85 t/hm²,森林水源涵养能力空间分布呈现东高西低的趋势;② 不同类型森林来说,阔叶林和灌木林对区域水源涵养总量的贡献率最大,而混交林的单位面积水源涵养量最高;③ 不同林龄比较,幼龄林对区域水源涵养贡献率最高,达45.95%,但其单位面积水源涵养能力最差,过熟林的单位面积水源涵养能力最高;④ 就坡位而言,平地和中坡森林对区域水源涵养总量的贡献率最大,山谷森林单位面积水源涵养能力最高,山脊森林单位面积涵养水源能力最低;⑤ 近35 a来,随着生态工程的实施,森林生态系统水源涵养总能力以1 447.89×10⁴m³/a速度持续提升,单位面积水源涵养量以每年5.33 t/hm²的速度稳步提高。

Water Conservation Function of Forest Ecosystem in the Southern and Northern Pan River Watershed

Water conservation is a comprehensive regulation function of forest ecosystem on water resources through various hydrological processes, including canopy interception, litter containment and soil retention. Forest ecosystem in Southern and Northern Pan River watershed is one of the significant ecological barriers in the upper reaches of the Pearl River, and its water conservation function would greatly influence the local development. Especially, it is also a typical karst mountain area in China, in which water is essential to the ecosystem recovery. Based on the forest resource inventory data, the integrated storage capacity method was applied to estimate the water conservation amount of forest ecosystem and its spatiotemporal variation in regional scale was also analyzed.
