Detecting recent changes in the demographic parameters of drosophilid populations from western and central Africa

Previous genetic studies showing evidence of past demographic changes in African drosophilids suggested that these populations had strongly responded to Quaternary climate changes. We surveyed nine species of Zaprionus, a drosophilid genus mostly present in Africa, in forests located between southern Senegal and Gabon. The mitochondrial COI gene showed contrasted levels of sequence variation across species. Populations of the only cosmopolitan species of the genus, Z. indianus, and of its closely related sibling species, Z. africanus, are highly polymorphic and appear to have undergone a continuous population expansion beginning about 130,000 years ago. Five less variable species probably underwent a population expansion beginning only about 20,000–30,000 years ago. One of them, Z. taronus, was significantly structured between forest blocks. The last two species were nearly monomorphic, probably due to infection by Wolbachia. These results are similar to those obtained in three species from the melanogaster subgroup, and may be typical of the responses of African drosophilid populations to glacial cycles.     

区域性森林大火的真正成因

森林大火真正起因于地球排气中易燃还原性气体在腐殖层的临界积聚(气体体积分数大约为5%~6%)。现场气体(H2,CO)系统测量结果证实了这一点。测量结果显示,该林区腐殖层中H2、CO质量分数分别为(10~170)×10-6(本底值为0·5×10-6)和(2~60)×10-6(本底值为0·5×10-6),二者均远高于大气本底值数十到数百倍,而且未燃区的测值显然高于1998年燃区。     

Seasonal and altitudinal structure of drosophilid communities on Mt Oku (Cameroon volcanic line)

We assessed the potential of drosophilids as indicators of the response of tropical ecosystems to climatic factors over an annual cycle in the montane forest of Mt Oku, by collecting samples at seven sites evenly spaced from 2200 m to 2800 m asl. Only 0.1% of the 11,000 specimens collected belonged to invading species or those commensal with humans, showing the weakness of anthropogenic factors. Species abundance was highly skewed. One species, Zaprionus vittiger, made up 81% of the sample, whereas 42 of the 62 morphological species found were represented by fewer than 20 individuals. Many of the most abundant species occurred over a narrow period, in the dry or in the rainy season, others also occurred at intervening periods. These different patterns of population dynamics, determined a succession of species over the annual cycle. Abundant species departed significantly from each other in their distribution over collection sites. The drosophilid populations from the central African montane forests are highly dependent on climatic factors, either directly, or indirectly through climatic effects on the biotic environment of the insects.     

Local perceptions about forests and water in two tropical catchments

This study was performed to assess how local inhabitants in two tropical watersheds value forests and perceive both forests and their own capacity to influence the hydrological cycle. Both service and productivity functions were strongly valued, particularly forests' rain-bringing capacity. The view that forests are directly responsible for increased precipitation was especially strong in low rainfall areas. Forests were also seen as important for their ability to retain soil water. The human activity most often mentioned as affecting water availability was tree planting while water conservation structures were not seen as detrimentally affecting others. Water was pictured very strongly as being part of a cycle so that which is used by humans or trees is not considered lost but only displaced to return again as rain.

Quantifying the protective function of a forest against rockfall for past,present and future scenarios using two modelling approaches

Following a major rockfall event in 1987, two types of protection measures were taken in the village Saint Martin le Vinoux (French Alps). Firstly, technical measures using civil engineering were installed, and secondly, a forest management intervention to increase its protection was carried out. This study aims to assess whether this intervention was successful in the sense that it improved the protective function of the forest. We evaluated the rockfall risk for the situation of 1987 (before the intervention), today and the future, using model simulations with past, present and future vegetation cover scenarios. To increase the meaningfulness of our results, we used two different models, called Rockfor^.NET, which is a rapid one-dimensional rockfall forest evaluation tool, using simple slope and forest characteristics and RockyFor, a process based on three-dimensional rockfall simulation model that takes the barrier effect of individual trees explicitly into account. Both models correctly predicted that the forest was not capable of stopping rocks from the 1987 rockfall event. Further, both models indicate an increase of the number of rocks reaching the base of the slope from 1987 onwards. RockyFor shows an increase from 11% in 1987 to 19% in 2086. Rockfor^.NET shows an increase from 26% in 1987 to 56% in 2086. We conclude that a second attempt to increase the protective function of the forest should aim at restoring a dense coppice stand.

Fifty-thousand-year vegetation and climate history of Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, Bolivian Amazon

Pollen and charcoal records from two large, shallow lakes reveal that throughout most of the past 50,000 yr Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, in northeastern lowland Bolivia (southwestern Amazon Basin), was predominantly covered by savannas and seasonally dry semideciduous forests. Lowered atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, in combination with a longer dry season, caused expansion of dry forests and savannas during the last glacial period, especially at the last glacial maximum. These ecosystems persisted until the mid-Holocene, although they underwent significant species reassortment. Forest communities containing a mixture of evergreen and semideciduous species began to expand between 6000 and 3000 ¹⁴C yr B.P. Humid evergreen rain forests expanded to cover most of the area within the past 2000 ¹⁴C yr B.P., coincident with a reduction in fire frequencies. Comparisons between modern pollen spectra and vegetation reveal that the Moraceae-dominated rain forest pollen spectra likely have a regional source area at least 2-3 km beyond the lake shore, whereas the grass- and sedge-dominated savanna pollen spectra likely have a predominantly local source area. The Holocene vegetation changes are consistent with independent paleoprecipitation records from the Bolivian Altiplano and paleovegetation records from other parts of southwestern Amazonia. The progressive expansion in rain forests through the Holocene can be largely attributed to enhanced convective activity over Amazonia, due to greater seasonality of insolation in the Southern Hemisphere tropics driven by the precession cycle according to the Milankovitch Astronomical Theory.

天保工程对森林涵养水源和保育土壤空间格局的影响——以内蒙古森工林区为例

为了更直观地反映天然林资源保护工程(以下简称“天保工程”)对森林生态系统涵养水源和保育土壤功能产生的影响,体现天保工程所带来的生态效益,依据《森林生态系统服务功能评估规范(GB/T 38582—2020)》,以内蒙古大兴安岭重点国有林管理局的林区为研究对象,对天保工程实施前(1998年)和实施后(2018年)2期森林生态系统涵养水源和保育土壤功能进行量化分析,认为内蒙古大兴安岭重点国有林管理局林区(简称“内蒙古森工林区”)涵养水源价值为950.16亿元(1998年)和1 341.32亿元(2018年),保育土壤的价值为563.49亿元(1998年)和760.11亿元(2018年)。天保工程实施前后,森林生态系统涵养水源功能总价值量排名前3位的林业局依次是根河、莫尔道嘎、乌尔旗汉,保育土壤功能排名前3位的依次是根河、乌尔旗汉、金河。从整体空间分布上分析得出的2期涵养水源和保育土壤功能价值量均呈现中部>北部>南部的趋势。

贡嘎山暗针叶林区森林蒸散发特征与模拟

通过对贡嘎山森林区的蒸发实验观测,利用修正的Penman-Monteith公式对地面和冷杉林蒸散进行模拟,并与水面实际观测资料进行对比。结果显示:控制该区蒸散的主导因子是太阳有效辐射、大气温度以及植被类型;对裸地、灌草、森林模拟的年内变化过程与水面蒸发的实际观测值趋势一致,分别在4月和9月出现两个明显的蒸发高峰。原始Penman公式可以用于裸露地面和短草地面的蒸发计算,然而对森林蒸散发应采用Penman-Monteith公式模拟,其模拟结果显示,在非生长季节森林蒸散发低于非森林地面,而在森林生长季节的蒸散发比非林地要高,其变化差异在±25%之间。因此修正的Penman-Monteith公式是森林地区水量平衡计算的有效工具。

中国石林发育研究进展

石林是指石灰岩在长期喀斯特作用下形成的由高5m以上的石柱组成的奇特的林状地貌,在我国及世界其它地方均有分布。本文主要从石林发育的条件、过程及模式、年代、古地理环境等几方面阐述了我国学者在中国石林发育研究中所取得的成就和进展。我国石林发育研究具有从单一研究向综合研究、从定性研究到定量研究、从单纯的逻辑推理到借助于现代仪器设备测试分析的发展趋势。但值得指出的是,我国的石林研究绝大部分集中于路南石林,其它地区的石林发育研究尚基本属于空白。因此, 要全面认识石林发育的规律,还有待于对这些空白地区进行更加广泛、深入的研究。      

帽峰山地区典型小流域主要森林类型土壤渗透性

采集帽峰山地区典型小流域主要林地类型(青冈林、毛竹林、凤尾竹林、桉树林)原状土样进行土壤剖面(0~20 cm、20~40 cm、40~60 cm)渗透系数及其相关因子的实验研究,结果表明:各种林地类型土壤渗透系数在剖面上均表现出从上到下递减的特点,毛竹、青冈、凤尾竹、桉树林的土壤剖面渗透系数变化范围分别为13.64~4.91、10.49~3.63、8.16~2.96、7.92~3.71 m/d。由于20~40 cm、40~60 cm土层渗透系数差异性相对较小,土壤渗透性剖面可简化为上、下两个亚层,上部亚层渗透系数是下部亚层的1.89~2.42倍。各种林地类型土壤渗透系数与孔隙度、根密度呈正相关,与干容重呈负相关,与根径关系相关性方向具有不确定性。不同林地类型土壤渗透系数与干容重、根密度、根径之间的相关程度存在较大差异,但均表现出与孔隙度之间存在良好相关性。

长白山自然保护区历史森林景观的初步重建

本文在对环境因子(包括年均温、年降水量、海拔高度、坡度和坡向)进行空间表达的基础上,建立了长白山自然保护区当前森林景观垂直带(包括阔叶红松林、云冷杉林、岳桦林和苔原)与这些环境因子间的逻辑斯蒂回归模型,然后利用1997年各环境因子的空间数字面来反推1975年森林景观带的空间分布,并根据1975年MSS遥感影像计算机监督分类的结果,用Kappa指数对模型预测结果进行验证。结果表明,苔原、岳桦林、云冷杉林和阔叶红松林1975年的预测分布面积分别为7243.83hm2、6517.08hm2、125570.16hm2和34264.80hm2,与遥感分类结果相比,苔原和云冷杉林的面积分别减少了29.04%和3.05%;岳桦林和阔叶红松林的面积分别增加了246.45%和8.6%。用逻辑斯蒂回归模型可以较好地预测苔原在保护区内的分布范围,同时在一定程度上也能预测阔叶红松林的分布范围,但是对岳桦林和云冷杉林分布范围的预测结果较差。尽管如此,作为一种方法性的探讨,本文可以为森林景观空间分布和环境因子变化的关系以及森林景观对气候变化的反应研究提供一种新思路。
