黔西北喀斯特退化植被恢复潜力评价

为了全面有效地评价黔西北喀斯特区域退化植被的恢复潜力,从而为该区域退化植被恢复的优先顺序以及恢复策略和技术的制定提供理论支撑,基于地上群落、繁殖体库、土壤基质和干扰状况4类指标群信息的13个指标,构建综合评价模型对该区域自然恢复过程中处于不同演替阶段的11个群落进行恢复潜力评价。结果将11个退化群落样地(1～11号)按综合恢复潜力指数(PI)分为四类,即PI<0.20(1、2号样地);0.20相似文献   

纳帕海湿地草本植物群落演替与水文情势关系

均匀布点开展纳帕海湿地区植物群落调查,应用DCA排序分析植物群落演替特征及其主控因子,利用Shannon-Wiener等物种多样性指数分析群落演替过程中的物种多样性变化态势;利用多期Landsat TM/ETM+影像解译获取多年平均的湿地区淹水频率空间分异特征;均匀布点采集并测定分层土样重量含水率,生成植物调查同期湿地区分层土壤含水量空间分异特征;将样方DCA第一排序轴与样方物种多样性指数进行关联分析。结果表明:本次调查记录到湿地区植物物种130种,隶属36科88属;湿地区的湿-中生植物群落占绝大多数,中生群落和严重破坏地次生群落分布较广,典型水生植物群落分布生境狭窄,可分为水生植物群落、湿-中生植物群落、中生植物群落和严重破坏地植物群落4个演替阶段;水文情势分异及变化和强干扰是纳帕海湿地植被生态演替的主控因子;现状演替态势下,湿地区的湿-中生植物物种、与人为干扰或退化有关的伴生植物物种会趋向增加,湿地进一步退化;调控水文情势和减轻家畜翻拱的强干扰破坏是实现纳帕海湿地植被生态修复的重要途径。     

喀斯特山地生态系统石漠化过程及其恢复研究综述

喀斯特石漠化一般经历顶极植被-灌草丛-石漠等3个阶段。在这一退化过程中喀斯特石漠化对环境的选择性导致喜Ca、耐旱和岩生性的植物生存,而生物量的移出和耐荫树种消退是退化的关键因素。退化过程中植被、土壤理化性质与环境形成正反馈关系,并具有退化方向上的一致性、退化过程的非同步性和退化速度的非线性等特点。喀斯特植被恢复时,其恢复对策经历了由早期更新对策向中期结构调整对策直至后期结构功能协调完善对策更替。喀斯特生态系统恢复的技术包括自然恢复、人工恢复与复合农林业综合治理技术。喀斯特区域恢复的核心是整体人地系统的生态优化。提出喀斯特生态系统石漠化过程及恢复研究的重点是适应性恢复与适应性管理的基础理论问题。     

敦煌绿洲边缘植物群落与土壤养分互馈关系

植物群落与土壤性状相互作用研究对于认识生态系统结构与功能有着重要的意义。通过对敦煌绿洲边缘典型植物群落21个样地（20m×20m）的植被和土壤系统取样调查,在分析植物群落及其土壤养分特征的基础上,采用CCA典范对应分析法研究了土壤养分对植物群落物种分布的影响。结果表明：调查区域植被群落共出现植物27种,隶属于15科,26属,以藜科（Chenopodiaceae）植物居多,占总物种数的29.6%。柽柳（Tamarix chinensis）群落的物种丰富度最大,胡杨（Populus euphratica）群落的物种丰富度最小。植被0~80 cm土壤有机质、全氮、速效磷、速效钾含量排序为柽柳>黑果枸杞（Lycium ruthenicum） > 梭梭（Haloxylon ammodendron） > 沙拐枣（Calligonum mongolicum）,全磷、全盐、速效氮含量排序为柽柳 > 黑果枸杞 > 沙拐枣 > 梭梭,全钾含量排序为黑果枸杞 > 柽柳 > 梭梭 > 沙拐枣,pH值排序为梭梭 > 沙拐枣 > 黑果枸杞 > 柽柳。不同植被覆盖各养分指标之间差异显著。随土层深度的增加,柽柳和黑果枸杞群落土壤全氮、有机质、全盐、速效氮、速效钾含量逐渐降低,表聚效应明显,土壤全磷、全钾、速效磷含量逐渐增大后减小,梭梭与沙拐枣养分层次特征不明显。4种植被群落土壤pH值随土层深度的增大呈波动的趋势。CCA排序结果表明植被群落物种分布的土壤环境调控因子重要性排序为全氮 > pH > 全钾,土壤全氮是植物群落物种分布的最重要调控因子。     

天然固定沙地与人工固沙植被区土壤种子库的比较研究

土壤种子库是退化生态系统植被恢复重建的重要基础,研究土壤种子库特征对于阐明退化生态系统受损与恢复机理具有重要的科学意义。通过野外土样采集、野外种子萌发定位跟踪调查和室内周期性种子萌发实验,对腾格里沙漠东南缘人工固沙植被区和天然固定沙地的土壤种子库特征进行了对比研究。结果表明：人工固沙植被区土壤种子库包含21个物种,分属于8科;天然固定沙地土壤种子库有33种植物,属于11科。人工固沙植被区以一年生植物为主,天然固定沙地以多年生植物为主。人工固沙植被区的种子总密度明显低于天然固定沙地,但不同物种种子的密度变化存在显著差异。人工固沙植被区的物种丰富度和多样性指数均较天然固定沙地低。人工固沙植被区和天然固定沙地的土壤种子库与地上植被物种的相似性系数分别为0.73和0.71。尽管人工固沙植被区土壤种子库存在少量多年生植物种子,但仍未发展到以多年生草本植物为主的群落演替阶段,说明人工固沙植被区的植物多样性恢复尚需要漫长的过程。     

新疆塔里木河下游植物群落逆向演替分析

通过对塔里木河中下游沿河植物群落的调查分析及地下水位下降对地表植被生态过程影响的研究，探讨塔里木河下游近几十年来植被的逆向演替过程，并划分出不同的演替阶段。根据草、灌、乔植被对地下水位具有不同的适应能力，塔里木河下游植物群落退化顺序也不相同，首先是草本退化，其次是灌木退化，再者是乔木退化。经调查分析表明，塔里木河下游植物群落的逆向演替顺序为：矫灌草群落阶段→乔灌群落阶段→乔木或灌木少阶段，在逆向演替过程中，各阶段有规律地进行，群落结构特征、种类组成也都发生了明显的变化。     

乌兰布和沙漠典型植物群落土壤风蚀可蚀性研究

为探明植被恢复对乌兰布和沙漠土壤风蚀可蚀性的影响,以乌兰布和沙漠内不同沙地固 定阶段的 8 种典型植物群落及群落内表土作为研究对象,对土壤物理因子（可蚀性颗粒含量、土壤 含水量、有机质含量）、土壤结皮因子、植被因子 3 类土壤风蚀可蚀性因子指标进行监测,分析土壤 风蚀可蚀性因子在不同植物群落类型间、沙地固定阶段间的差异。结果表明：（1）在乌兰布和沙漠 典型植物群落中,沙蓬、沙生针茅、盐爪爪等草本植物群落的土壤风蚀可蚀性最强,白刺、梭梭、沙 冬青等灌木植物群落土壤风蚀可蚀性弱于草本植物群落,说明灌木林能显著降低土壤风蚀作用。 （2）随着沙地的不断固定,土壤结构不断发育,土壤可蚀性不断降低,土壤风蚀可蚀性强弱表现为 固定沙地<半固定沙地<流动沙地。（3）土壤可蚀性颗粒含量、土壤有机质含量、土壤含水量、土壤结 皮、植被因子与植被类型及沙地固定阶段具有显著相关关系。因此,在沙区生态建设工程中,为了 减少土壤风蚀量,不仅要考虑物种的选择,还要促进人工生态系统的演替和恢复,从而有效降低土 壤风蚀可蚀性。研究结果可为乌兰布和沙区植被生态系统服务功能的科学评价、防沙治沙工程的 建设与管理提供一定参考。     

退化沙质草地土壤种子库和地上植被对封育的响应机理

从植物种和植物功能类群两个水平系统探讨退化沙质草地土壤种子库和地上植被对短期封育管理响应机理的研究尚不多。以内蒙古东部的科尔沁沙地退化沙质草地为研究对象,采取随机样方法对禁牧6 a的封育区及与其相邻的自由放牧草地的土壤种子库和地上植物群落的物种密度进行了比较研究,草本植物群落被区分为一年生禾本科植物、非禾本科一年生植物和多年生植物3个主要功能类群。利用测定数据,分析研究了短期禁牧封育对土壤种子库和地上群落不同植物种和各植物功能类群的生态恢复作用机理。主要研究结果是：①短期封育显著促进了退化沙质草地植被的生态恢复,但发现土壤种子库和地上植被对禁牧的响应模式和机理存在明显差异,短期禁牧使土壤种子库中所有3个植物功能类群的密度均得到显著提高,而仅提高了地上植被一年生禾本科植物和多年生植物两个类群的密度;相反,禁牧显著提高了地上植被所有3个功能类群的物种丰富度和多样性,仅提高了土壤种子库中多年生植物类群的物种多样性。②短期禁牧显著增加了地上植物群落组成中可食和优良牧草的比例,提高了草地的经济利用价值。主要结论是：短期禁牧封育是一种经济有效的提高退化沙质草地植被多样性、生产力及对植物群落物种组成和草地品质进行优化调控和改良的重要草地管理手段。研究建议,今后应重点开展不同禁牧时间下对退化沙质草地土壤种子库和地上植被多样性、生产力及其物种组成变化影响的长期生态学控制实验研究。     

喀斯特山原红壤退化过程中土壤表层团聚体变化规律

山原红壤是古气候影响下残存于高原面的古红土,近年来退化严重。为认识山原红壤的退化机理及效应,以滇东喀斯特典型山原红壤发育地带为研究对象,分析了4种不同覆被条件下0~20 cm土壤表层团聚体的特征。结果表明:从草地→灌丛→松林→红裸土,土壤0.25 mm水稳性团聚体含量(WSAC)和平均重量直径(MWD)逐渐减少,分形维数(FD)显著增大;团聚体破坏率(PAD0.25)则表现为松林草地灌丛红裸土。山原红壤从有植被到无植被(红裸土)退化过程中,表层土壤的团聚体稳定性和其他物理性质劣化,抗水蚀能力变弱,有机质含量减少;草地、灌丛、松林之间的土壤团聚体特征变化不明显,尚不能准确反映植被间的退化过程。研究还表明水稳性团聚体的稳定性指标(WSAC、MWD)与容重呈显著负相关,与土壤密度呈极显著负相关,与孔隙度、通气度呈极显著正相关;有机质对水稳性团聚体的稳定性和其他物理性质具有促进作用,植被的保育是改善山原红壤结构状况的关键。     

岩溶山区不同植被群落土壤生态系统特性研究

自然植被演替成为次生植被、人工林或人工开垦利用后,岩溶山地土壤物理性能退化;沙化现象明显;坡耕地土壤长时间持水供水性能、抗旱性能降低;土壤种子库中草本种子比例大,木本植物种子少,土壤种子库退化更严重。研究区土壤有机质和全N受植被类型和土地利用强度影响明显,坡耕地土壤有机质较林草地系统低,退耕还林还草后,土壤有机质含量稳定增加。与自然植被相比,人工林、次生林系统土壤有机质含量仍较低。从弃耕地→灌草坡→次生林地的演替过程中,土壤种子库生态优势度呈降低趋势,物种丰富度和多样性增加。研究结果认为,岩溶生态系统土地退化的实质是土壤作为水库、养分库和土壤种子库功能的差异退化。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
