火干扰对内陆荒漠湿地芦苇群落特征的影响

采用人为起火的方法,通过对比敦煌西湖荒漠湿地干扰区域和未干扰区域火后第一年芦苇群落特征的变化,探讨内陆荒漠湿地植被对火干扰的响应机制。了解火干扰对内陆荒漠湿地芦苇群落特征的影响。结果表明: 火干扰能够延长植物青绿期,促进了植被的个体发育;火干扰对草本层植被盖度、高度均有显著的负面影响,而对密度有显著的正面影响,对灌木层植被群落盖度、高度及密度均有正面影响,但影响不明显;火干扰后植物群落Shannon-Wiener多样性指数H′、Simpson多样性指数D和Simpson优势度指数C均减少,而Margalef物种丰富度指数Ma和Pielou均匀度指数J均增加;火干扰致使草本层植物群落多样性指数与研究区植物群落总体多样性指数变化趋势一致,致使灌木层物种H′、D和J指数均减少,而Ma和C指数均增加;火干扰致使植物群落地上总的生物量降低,主要使灌木层生物量降低,而使草本层生物量有所增加。     

策勒绿洲外围不同地下水埋深下主要优势植物的分布和群落特征

对塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘策勒绿洲外围地下水埋深与主要优势植物分布和群落特点的研究结果表明,植物的分布和群落特征受地下水埋深变化的影响。但群落的组成成分和生物多样性受到地貌特征和地下水埋深的双重影响。群落的差异性和间断性大于群落的连续性和相似性。群落分布随地下水埋深的变化与其他荒漠地区在大的空间演替规律上相一致,但在群落类型、特别是低水位地段群落演替序列上有明显不同。随着地下水埋深的变化,植物群落依次为:低水位的骆驼刺群落,较低水位的柽柳群落,中低水位的柽柳、胡杨群落,较高水位的芦苇群落,高水位的苦豆子群落,其中地下水埋深6.0 m以上地段是植物群落类型、种类组成和生物多样性都较为丰富的地区。绿洲外围植物中柽柳具有最大的环境资源利用比率,对环境的适应性最强。     

气候变化、火干扰与生态系统碳循环

 随着全球变暖的日益显著,气候变化及其影响越来越受到广泛关注。火干扰作为森林生态系统碳循环的一个重要组成部分,其干扰过程是对碳的再分配过程,因而对区域乃至全球的碳循环产生重要影响。气候变化、火干扰与生态系统碳循环三者之间存在因果循环关系,正确认识气候变化与火干扰的复杂关系及双向反馈作用,以及火干扰在生态系统碳循环中的作用,这对制定科学合理的火干扰管理策略,提高生态系统管理水平,减少碳排放,促进碳增汇,减缓全球变化速率均有重要意义。从两个方面阐述了气候变化、火干扰与生态系统碳循环之间的交互作用关系：气候变化与火干扰相互影响关系及双向反馈作用,分别从气候变化对火干扰的影响及火干扰对气候变化的影响两个方面阐述了两者之间的相互影响关系;火干扰与森林生态系统碳循环的交互作用,分别从火干扰对森林生态系统碳循环的影响及模型方法在模拟火干扰对森林生态系统碳循环影响中的应用两个方面论述火干扰对森林生态系统碳循环的影响及其定量评价模型方法。目前火干扰直接碳排放的模型方法比较完善,而间接影响碳循环的模型方法并不成熟,许多方法局限于定性描述,因此,应进一步探讨集成实地测量、遥感观测和模型模拟的跨尺度火干扰对碳循环的影响研究,注重尺度的转换问题。最后,提出了气候变暖背景下火干扰管理的路径选择,以及对今后的研究方向进行了展望。     

黄河三角洲自然湿地芦苇在不同演替阶段的生态适应性

为探讨黄河三角洲新生滨海湿地不同植被演替阶段下芦苇的生态适应性,采用空间代替时间的方法,选取靠近海岸的芦苇盐地碱蓬群落区、芦苇群落区和靠近黄河岸的芦苇白茅群落区分别代表由海域向陆地的3个芦苇群落演替阶段。结果表明:实验区土壤总体表现为碱性,表层土壤的电导率、可溶钠含量均显著高于下层土壤,芦苇盐地碱蓬群落区电导率最高。芦苇群落区土壤总氮、总碳、有机质和有效磷、芦苇密度最高,群落单一,但3个实验区群落总生物量差异不显著。有机质、总碳、总氮、p H值构成第一主成分,可溶钠、电导率构成第二主成分。结果表明,水盐分布格局是影响该区域芦苇植被群落的主要驱动因子,土壤养分含量变化对芦苇植被群落的生态特征有显著影响。     

大兴安岭北部大白山高山林线动态与气候变化的关系

高山林线植被对气候变化十分敏感,已成为全球变化研究的热点.研究了大兴安岭北部大白山高山林线的树木生长和群落更新动态及其与气候变化、火干扰等因素的关系.结果表明,林线树木的生长对气候变化十分敏感,但其敏感性随着海拔的降低而减弱;在高海拔,林线树木的径向生长与上年生长季后期(8月)降水负相关,而与上年初秋(9月)温度正相关,这限制作用随着海拔的降低而逐渐消失;与此相反,低海拔树木生长与当年冬末春初(3月)的温度负相关,但随着海拔上升这种限制作用消失.分析结果还表明,本地区的群落更新主要受火干扰驱动,而与气候变化没有显著关系.不同树种在火灾后更新的时间存在差异,这种差异又因海拔的不同而异,反映出不同树种的更新策略及对环境变化适应能力的差异.大兴安岭北部的高山林线在树木生长对气候变化的敏感性、与气候因子的关系及群落更新动态等方面均与干旱区林线有明显的差异,这些差异与气候条件、树种、更新驱动力等方面的不同有密切的关系.     

华南地区稻鸭共作系统节肢动物群落多样性的研究

在稻鸭共作系统中,鸭子在田间的觅食活动对稻田系统中节肢动物群落可能产生的影响已引起了较多关注。本研究通过设置稻鸭共作（RD）、常规稻作（CC）和对照（cK）3-ff处理的小区试验来研究稻鸭共作对稻田节肢动物群落的影响。结果表明,稻鸭共作和常规稻作处理区中节肢动物群落的个体数比空白区均有不同程度的减少;稻鸭共作处理区节肢动物群落的个体数、Simpson指数（D）和Shannon指数（H’）均高于常规稻作区;在晚稻生长的分蘖期和孕穗期,稻鸭共作处理区节肢动物群落的个体数、丰富度指数（R）、D、和H’均高于常规稻作区。稻鸭共作有利于维持稻田系统中节肢动物群落的多样性。与施用化学农药和肥料所引起的节肢动物群落丰富度和多样性降低相比,稻鸭共作对稻田节肢动物群落的多样性影响相对较低。     

青藏铁路温性草原区路域植被自然恢复过程中群落组成和物种多样性变化

以芨芨草和短花针茅为优势种的温性草原是青藏铁路进入海拔3000m以上地区所穿越的第一个地带性植被类型。在青藏铁路经过的温性草原区对未受筑路直接影响的区域、取土区、铁路路基、周围其它类型的公路路域植被进行取样，并对群落组成和有关群落特征进行了比较，以讨论青藏铁路的修建与运营对温性草原及其恢复过程的影响。结果显示，青藏铁路修筑过程对铁路两侧一定区域的温性草原有较大影响，但随着受影响区域植被的自然恢复，群落盖度、生态优势度和物种多样性等反应群落特征的指标都有一定程度的改善，一些在原生植被中很少出现或伴生种在恢复后的群落中有可能成为群落的优势种或建群种，如露蕊乌头和鹅绒委陵菜等；人为辅助措施将有利于受损植被的恢复；修筑铁路过程中受到影响的温性草原其恢复过程中尚未出现外来入侵植物。

基于2005年以来对卡拉麦里山有蹄类自然保护区鹅喉羚分布调查和栖息地样方采集,运用GIS技术进行目视解译与图层叠加分析进行鹅喉羚分布研究,并运用选择指数与选择系数模型探讨鹅喉羚的生境选择.研究发现,保护区内鹅喉羚四季分布虽有明显差异,但主要分布区位于在保护区中部的针茅、驼绒藜、沙蒿-驼绒藜、假木贼-针茅群落中.不同季节鹅喉羚对植被类型的选择有差异,春季鹅喉羚倾向选择假木贼-针茅群落和梭梭群落;夏季鹅喉羚喜欢针茅群落、驼绒藜群落、梭梭群落;秋季鹅喉羚则倾向选择针茅群落和假木贼-针茅群落.鹅喉羚喜欢坡度平缓的地区;春季和夏季对各种坡向随机选择的,秋季不喜欢阴坡,其他坡向则几乎随机选择;春季和夏季喜欢中坡位,不喜欢上坡位,对下坡位随机选择,秋季对各种坡位随机选择.鹅喉羚的分布主要受植被类型和水源的影响,人类干扰是影响鹅喉羚冬季分布的主要因素.食物、隐蔽性和地形因素是鹅喉羚生境选择的重要影响因素.     

太行山南端野皂荚群落物种多样性

采用双向指示种分析法,将太行山南端野皂荚群落分为9个群丛.用丰富度指数、多样性指数和均匀度指数对野皂荚群落的物种多样性进行了研究,并用方差分析研究了各群落之间多样性指数的差异程度.结果表明:(1)组成野皂荚群落的维管植物有58种,隶属于23科50属.(2)在立地平缓、土层较厚的生境中,野皂荚群落具有较高的多样性指数;在干扰强烈的生境中,野皂荚群落的多样性指数偏低.(3)野皂荚群落的物种丰富度主要受草本层的影响,但不同层次的物种对群落物种多样性的贡献是不等价的.(4)由于野皂荚群落在太行山南端分布范嗣的局限性、生境的同质性和群落的相对稳定性,9个群丛各多样性指数间方差分析结果差异皆不显著.

The Effects of Annual Harvesting on the Subsequent Phytomass and Species Composition of Grassland and Fernland: A Hong Kong Case

Anthropogenic grasslands mixed with fern and shrubland, on scales from metres to kilometres, are widespread in tropical Southeast Asia, and especially in southern China and adjoining regions where harvesting for domestic fuel is a major factor in their maintenance. Baseline surveys in grassland and fernland in 1989–90 and resurveys in 2001 of three 6 × 20 m plots in Wong Chuk Yuen, Hong Kong, showed substantial change in species composition and total aboveground phytomass as a result of annual harvesting, with more pronounced change in the fernland. Under harvesting pressure, the species composition of the grassland changed considerably, though the proportions of the various life‐forms did not. Ischaemum spp. and Miscanthus floridulus increased whereas Themeda gigantea died out while the proportion of other grass species remained much the same. Under the same regime the species composition and life‐forms of the fernland changed markedly. The proportion of Dicranopteris fern dropped substantially, though still comprising a third of the phytomass by 2001. The shrub Melastoma survived harvesting. A firebreak cut in the fernland became grassy under annual harvesting and remained grassy six years after cutting ceased. The annual harvests from the growth‐years 1991–2000 showed a substantial though variable increase in total phytomass. Analyses relating harvested phytomass with various climatic parameters showed no significant correlations. Some possible reasons for this are suggested. Although annual harvesting was clearly sustainable over the ten years of observation, the question of continued sustainability on sites harvested for centuries, the situation in much of southern China and parts of upland mainland Southeast Asia, remains unresolved.     

Effects of fire on rangeland vegetation in south-western Mendoza plains (Argentina): composition,frequency, biomass,productivity and carrying capacity

The effect of both a non-prescribed summer fire and grazing at high stocking rate following fire on plant community composition, the frequency of occurrence of bare soil, grasses and shrubs, species diversity and biomass of herbaceous forage were evaluated for three growing seasons after fire. Changes in community composition occurred as a consequence of both fire and grazing. Communities were dominated by unpalatable shrubs and grasses in unburned sites as a result of a long history of overgrazing. Fire contributed to a conversion of those shrublands to communities with a more favourable balance between woody and herbaceous species. The frequency of palatable grasses and herbaceous forage biomass increased by a factor ofc. 3 at the expense of woody vegetation. Grazing after fire had significant positive (i.e. decrease in undesirable grasses) and negative (i.e. increase in bare soil) effects.     

Response of the shortgrass steppe plant community to fire

Fire is an important driver of ecological pattern and process in grasslands worldwide, although its role in semi-arid systems is less well known. We used published studies and new experimental research to 1) provide a synthesis of existing knowledge of fire in the semi-arid grasslands of the North American Great Plains, and 2) assess the degree of similarity in semi-arid and mesic grassland responses to fire in this region. Based on published studies, burning has neutral to negative effects on aboveground productivity in semi-arid grasslands and variable effects on plant communities. To more rigorously assess fire effects, replicated experimental plots were established in ungrazed shortgrass steppe in northern Colorado and prescribed spring fire was applied in 2006 and 2007, 2006 only, or not at all. Aboveground net primary productivity decreased or remained unchanged with burning. Plant community changes included increases in perennial forbs, decreases in annual grasses and a positive response in annual forbs to the combination of fire and a wet spring in 2007. Combined, these results indicate that post-fire changes in productivity in semi-arid grasslands are neutral to negative, in contrast to positive responses in mesic grasslands, and not strongly negative as previously assumed.     

荒漠植被草本层片植物对火因子的响应

火因子是生态系统中重要的干扰因素,对生态系统格局与过程有着深远的影响。采用人为放火的方法研究了草原化荒漠草本层片植物物种丰富度、地上部生物量、植物多度以及高度等群落学特征对火因子的响应。结果表明,火烧后两年（2008—2009年）,火烧样地单位面积中草本层片植物物种丰富度有所降低;植物多度多于对照样地,但无显著性差异（P>0.05）。火烧后当年,火烧样地中草本植物地上部生物量显著高于对照样地（P<0.05）,第2年地上部生物量无显著性差异（P>0.05）,说明火烧后当年有利于提高荒漠生态系统生物生产力,而第2年该效应消除。火烧后当年,研究区3种主要草本植物多根葱、无芒隐子草和茵陈蒿的高度受到了抑制,第2年其高度较对照样地又有所增长,但另一主要植物刺蓬则与其他3种植物反应相反,这可能与荒漠草本植物种不同生长特性有关。     

干扰对生物土壤结皮及其理化性质的影响

生物土壤结皮作为荒漠地区特殊环境的产物,具有较强的抗风蚀、水蚀功能,也是干旱荒漠地区植被演替的重要基础。随着人类活动的加剧,生物土壤结皮也受到不同类型和不同程度的干扰,主要包括放牧、火烧、车辆碾压等形式。干扰对生物土壤结皮的影响主要表现在生物土壤结皮结构及盖度的变化、土壤理化性质的改变、土壤微生物数量及活性的变化等几个方面。放牧对土壤物理性质的影响还没有一致的结论,除了干扰的程度还与土壤含水量有关系。火烧虽然改善了土壤结构,但是破坏了地表植被的盖度,而且恢复比较困难,也加速了外界侵蚀的力度,对土壤化学性质也有显著影响。机械碾压的破坏力最强,且没有任何的积极意义。     

Ecological effects of experimental drought and prescribed fire in a southern California coastal grassland

How drought and fire disturbance influence different levels of biological organization is poorly understood but essential for robust predictions of the effects of environmental change. During a year of severe drought, we conducted a prescribed fire in a Mediterranean-type coastal grassland near Irvine, California. In the weeks following the fire we experimentally manipulated rainfall in burned and unburned portions of the grassland to determine how fire and drought interact to influence leaf physiological performance, community composition, aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and component fluxes of ecosystem CO₂ exchange and evapotranspiration (ET). Fire increased leaf photosynthesis (A_net) and transpiration (T) of the native perennial bunchgrass, Nassella pulchra and the non-native annual grass, Bromus diandrus but did not influence ANPP or net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE). Surprisingly, drought only weakly influenced A_net and T of both species but strongly influenced ANPP and NEE. We conclude that despite increasing experimental drought severity, prescribed fire influenced leaf CO₂ and H₂O exchange but had little effect on the component fluxes of ecosystem CO₂ exchange. The differential effects of prescribed fire on leaf and ecosystem processes with increasingly severe drought highlight the challenge of predicting the responses of biological systems to disturbance and resource limitation.     

Vegetation Chronosequence in Hong Kong: Soil Properties and SuccessionalDevelopment

The soil properties of a vegetation chronosequence in Hong Kong involving a grassland, a 22-year mixed woodland, a 52-year forest and two graduation 150-year old climax ( feng shui ) forests were examined. The objectives were to test the three hypotheses: (1) there are no significant differences in soil chemical properties between different climax forests, (2) exotic species are inferior to native species in soil amelioration; and (3) organic carbon, nitrogen and cation nutrients tend to accumulate in the soils during successional development of the vegetation. The results show that the soils along the vegetation chronosequence are strongly acidic in reaction, contained moderate to high levels of organic carbon, high exchangeable acidity, and low levels of mineral nitrogen (NH⊂4⊂> and NO⊂3⊂), available phosphorus and cation nutrients. All the three hypotheses are rejected. While the feng shui forests differed markedly in soil properties, exotic species were superior to native species in augmenting soil organic carbon, mineral nitrogen and exchangeable Ca. There was no accumulation of organic carbon, nitrogen and cation nutrients with ecological succession, due to the influence of patchy fire, species composition, parent materials and distance from the sea.     

Studying the post-fire performance of tussock grasses in Patagonia: Survival, biomass production and early competition

Patagonia grasslands are subjected to two main disturbances, fire and grazing, but little information is available about its effects on vegetation. We studied post-fire survival and resprouting ability of two dominant grass species, Stipa speciosa and Festuca pallescens, for four years; evaluated the effect of early post-fire defoliation on both species; and tested whether competition is important in post-fire recovery in San Ramón Ranch, NW Patagonia (Argentina). To simulate grazing, a clipping treatment was applied at the beginning and end of growing seasons. Survival rates were high (>60%) and, after three years, biomass of both species in the burned area was similar to the unburned area. Competition seems to play an important role in the early post-fire recovery of both species, particularly in the case of F. pallescens that increased 87% the biomass production without competition. Fire may improve forage quality by eliminating the standing dead material, but early post-fire grazing might endanger the persistence of F. pallescens. We suggest requiring a resting period before livestock introduction and controlling grazing intensity.
