2000—2017年内蒙古荒漠草原植被物候变化及对净初级生产力的影响

荒漠草原分布于干旱区和半干旱区,对气候变化的响应极为敏感,但目前学术界对于荒漠草原物候与生产力变化的研究仍较为薄弱。有鉴于此,论文采用2000—2017年MODIS NDVI数据和气象数据,利用通用数量化方法提取内蒙古荒漠草原植被的生长季始期(start of season, SOS)和生长季末期(end of season, EOS);基于Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach (CASA)模型估算了植被净初级生产力(NPP),并分析了植被物候和净初级生产力之间的关系。研究结果表明：① 2000—2017年内蒙古荒漠草原SOS呈显著提前趋势(0.88 d/a,P<0.05),EOS不显著提前(0.13 d/a,P>0.05),生长季长度(length of season, LOS)呈显著延长趋势(0.76 d/a)。81.53%像元的SOS与2—4月平均气温呈负相关(8.21%显著相关,P<0.05),60.80%像元的SOS与4月降水量呈负相关关系(6.12%显著相关,P<0.05);65.16%像元的EOS与9月平均气温呈负相关(5.03%显著相关,P<0.05),78.61%像元的EOS 与7—9月降水量呈正相关关系(10.12%显著相关,P<0.05)。② 内蒙古荒漠草原多年平均NPP为104.71 gC/(m ²·a),有自东向西逐渐降低的区域差异;在研究时段内,春、夏季和生长季的NPP均呈不显著增加趋势,秋季NPP有不显著减少趋势;生长季降水量增加有利于生长季NPP的积累。③ 春季NPP与SOS呈不显著负相关,秋季NPP与EOS呈显著正相关。LOS的延长促进了NPP的累积,其中生长季NPP与EOS的推迟关系更为密切。研究结果揭示气候变化对内蒙古荒漠草原植被物候和生产力有显著影响,对区域生态系统管理和生态建设具有重要参考意义。     

气候变化和人类活动对盐池县植被净初级生产力的影响

为定量区分退耕还林还草背景下北方典型农牧交错带植被变化过程中气候变化和人类活动的相对贡献率,以宁夏盐池县2000—2020年植被变化为研究对象,基于MODIS13Q1-NDVI数据、地表覆盖数据和气象数据,采用Thornthwaite纪念模型和CASA（Carnegie-ames-stanford approach）模型分别估算了逐年的潜在净初级生产力（Potential net primary productivity, PNPP）和实际净初级生产力（Actual net primary productivity, ANPP）。综合运用趋势分析、相关分析和差值比较法分析了2000—2020年盐池县净初级生产力（Net primary productivity, NPP）时空变化特征及其驱动力,并定量确定了气候因子和人类活动对盐池县植被变化的相对贡献率。结果表明：（1） 在2000—2020年盐池县NPP总体呈上升趋势,但存在着显著的空间异质性,主要表现为植被NPP改善区面积远大于NPP退化区面积,且改善或退化程度也存在显著的空间分异。植被改善区主要分布于荒漠、荒漠草原等退耕还林还草工程区域和灌溉区,而植被退化区则分布于荒漠和荒漠草原的边缘地带。（2） 植被变化归因分析表明,在植被改善区,气候变化和人类活动共同主导驱动了植被的改善,但气候变化的相对贡献率（59.77%）大于人类活动的相对贡献率（40.23%）,而在植被退化区,人类活动的相对贡献率（91.77%）则显著高于气候变化的相对贡献率（8.23%）。（3） 驱动力分析表明,研究区植被NPP变化与降水量呈显著正相关,而与气温的相关性较弱;而人类活动是驱动植被退化区NPP下降的主要原因,但负向影响力有所减弱。总体而言,气候变化是植被改善区的主要驱动力,而人类活动是植被退化区的主要驱动因素,两者共同作用则使盐池县整体生态环境得以改善。

对祁连山高寒草原碱性土壤可培养固氮菌数量、 固氮基因(nifH)群落结构及其理化性质进行了研究. 结果表明: 固氮菌数量在土层0~40 cm处于3.6×10⁵~0.21×10⁵CFUs·g^-1之间, 除了海拔3 001 m的土样AQ4外, 其他3个土样固氮菌数量随着土壤深度的加深而减小. 固氮菌数量与地下生物量呈显著正相关性, 与有机碳、 可溶有机氮、 速效磷和速效钾呈正相关性, 而与pH值和全盐呈负相关性. 通过基因测序得到的37个固氮基因nifH克隆中, 蓝藻门占41%, 变形菌门占8%, 厚壁菌门占14%, 未知菌株占37%; 蓝藻门在除了AQ4外的土样中普遍存在, 并且是AQ1的优势固氮菌群. 此外, 还发现了4个新的nifH基因, 分别是AQ1-12(KC412109)、 AQ4-3(KC412133)、 AQ4-4(KC412133)、 AQ4-5(KC412133), 其中后三者是土样AQ4的优势种群.     

内蒙古温带草原典型草地生态系统生产力对水分在不同时间尺度上的响应

水分是干旱、半干旱区草地生态系统生产力的主要限制因素,但水分如何影响生产力的季节内变异,以往研究相对不足。本研究以内蒙古温带典型草原为研究对象,基于多通道自动原位监测箱系统获得的生态系统日尺度总初级生产力(GPP)及遥感植被归一化指数估算年尺度的地上净初级生产力数据,在不同时间尺度上研究了水分对生产力的影响。结果表明:年降水量对该典型草原草地生态系统地上净初级生产力年际变异无显著影响,但土壤水分显著影响GPP的季节变异,土壤水分解释了GPP季节变异的22%;其他环境因子对生产力的季节变异也有一定影响;温度是生态系统处于干旱时GPP的主要限制因素,GPP随温度的升高而降低;而辐射是生态系统处于湿润时GPP的主要限制因素,GPP随辐射的升高而升高。本研究结果将有利于提升未来降水格局改变对草地生态系统生产力影响的认识。

Soil Erosion and Vegetation Succession in Alpine Kobresia Steppe Meadow Caused by Plateau Pika A Case Study of Nagqu County, Tibet

This paper evaluated the impacts of mounds created by the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) on the vege- tation composition, structure, and species diversity of an alpine Kobresia steppe meadow in Nagqu County, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. Based on mound height or the depth of erosion pit, we defined five stages of erosion and compared the floristic features of communities at these stages with those in undisturbed sites. In the study area, the mounds and pits covered up to 7% of the total area. Lancea tibetica, Lamiophlomis rotata, and Potentilla bifurca were the dominant species in erosion pits, and Kobresia pygmaea, the dominant species in undisturbed sites, became a com- panion species in eroded areas. In the process of erosion, the original vegetation was covered by soil ejected by the pika, then the mounds were gradually eroded by wind and rain, and finally erosion pits formed. The vegetation coverage in- creased with increasing erosion stages but remained significantly lower than that in undisturbed sites. Improved coverage eventually reduced soil erosion, and pit depth eventually stabilized at around 20cm. Aboveground biomass increased with increasing erosion stage, but the proportion of low-quality forage reached more than 94%. The richness index and Shannon-Wiener index increased significantly with increasing erosion stage, but the richness index in mound and pit areas was significantly lower than that in undisturbed sites.

荒漠草原区风力发电场建设前后的植被变化

调查了甘肃景泰荒漠草原区一处风电场基础设施建设和运行对植被的影响。结果表明:荒漠草原区百兆瓦级风力发电场建设造成直接植被生产力损失量为6.79 g·m^-2·a^-1,间接植被生产力损失量为91.43 g·m^-2·a^-1。随着扰动程度增加,物种丰富度降低,均匀度减小。在工程运行后,经历近10 a的自然恢复,核心扰动区虽然物种单一,但植被生产力是次级扰动区的两倍以上,为间接扰动区和未扰动区的50%和33%左右;而间接扰动区植被生产力仅为未扰动区的50%。总体上,风电工程扰动对区域植被的影响,不仅在于建设期对局地群落植被生产力的完全丧失,更重要的是在运行期间对周边大面积间接影响区群落植被生产力的大幅度降低,而且这种影响是长期和持续性的。     

Water use characteristics of coexisting sand-binding vegetation in two typical soil habitats in the desert steppe of China

Understanding the water use characteristics and water relationship of coexisting vegetation in a mixed-species plantation of trees and shrubs is crucial for the sustainable restoration of degraded arid areas. This study investigated the water use characteristic of coexisting sand-binding vegetation combinations in the sierozem habitat (Populus przewalskii Maxim namely Populus-S and Caragana liouana) and aeolian sandy soil habitats (Populus przewalskii Maxim namely Populus-A and Salix psammophila) of the desert steppe. By analysing the δ²H and δ¹⁸O isotopes in xylem, soil water, groundwater and precipitation, a Bayesian MixSIAR model was employed to quantitatively assess the water utilization characteristics of plants. Throughout the growing season, in the sierozem habitat, C. liouana exhibits the highest efficiency in utilizing soil moisture above 60 cm (53.45%) and displays adaptable water use strategies. In contrast, Populus-A predominantly relies on deep soil moisture below 60 cm plus groundwater (63.89%). In the aeolian sandy soil habitat, both Populus-A and S. psammophila similarly favour deep soil moisture below the 60 cm soil plus groundwater (66.77% and 67.60%, respectively). During the transition period from the dry to the wet seasons, although both Populus-A and S. psammophila in the aeolian sandy soil habitat shifted their water sources from deeper to shallower ones, there was considerable overlap in the water sources used by Populus-A and S. psammophila. This overlap led to competition for water resources and exacerbated the depletion of deep soil moisture in both seasons. Conversely, in the sierozem habitat, the partitioning of water sources between Populus-S and C. liouana facilitated the allocation and utilization of water resources between the two species. The findings highlight the need for species-specific consideration in water resource allocation within mixed-species plantations of trees and shrubs, which is crucial for sustainable vegetation restoration in sand-binding ecosystems.
