云蒙山典型森林群落垂直结构研究

采用以树冠光竞争高度为基础的林分垂直层数量化方法研究了云蒙山几种典型森林群落的垂直结构特征,并将不同群落的垂直层划分结果与树高系统聚类分析结果相比较,发现在森林群落垂直层划分过程中,树冠光竞争高度附近的树被误划的几率较高;截止系数a=0.4时,平均误划率最低,为10.10%.对几种森林群落结构指标相关性分析表明:森林群落垂直分层数与乔木高度多样性指数、树高变异系数及乔木物种多样性指数呈显著正相关;乔木高度多样性指数和树高变异系数与灌木层多样性指数呈极显著正相关,而与草本层多样性指数却均呈显著负相关.几种描述林分垂直结构的指标能很好地描述森林群落的垂直分层情况,同时森林群落的垂直结构对下层植物的物种组成具有重要影响.     

花山喀斯特风景林群落结构与林内景观质量的关系

全面和正确地认识群落结构特征与景观美学质量的关系,对揭示森林景观美学质量的形成机制和进行景观质量提升具有重要意义。采用美景度评价法(Scenic Beauty Estimation,SBE)和回归分析,从林分水平结构、垂直结构和物种组成等群落结构特征层面,分析群落结构特征与景观质量的关系。结果表明:群落结构要素对美景度贡献大小顺序依次为Pielou均匀度指数乔木层密度Shannon-Wiener多样性指数林层数乔木层平均高度;Pielou均匀度指数和乔木层密度与美景度呈负相关关系,Shannon-Wiener多样性指数、林层数和乔木层平均高度与美景度呈正相关关系;物种丰富、乔木层密度较小、林层数多、乔木层平均高度较大的林分具有较高的美景度值。根据群落结构和林内景观质量关系得出群落结构优化策略,首先尽可能满足物种多样性和生态系统稳定性的需求,在此前提下从水平和垂直结构等空间配置上,综合运用林分抚育、林下层管理和美学规划等措施,构建出符合生态要求和具有较高美学价值的森林景观。     

大荫山米槠林的群落物种多样性研究

在浙江省衢州市大荫山的米槠林中分设了10个调查样地.对各样地乔木、灌木、草本不同层次的物种丰富度、物种多样性指数和群落均匀度所进行的分析,结果表明:大荫山米槠林木本植物的物种丰富度(99种)和物种多样性指数明显大于草本植物(18种).在该米槠林的分层结构上,其灌木层的物种丰富度指数、物种多样性指数和群落均匀度指数均大于乔木层,此两层的物种丰富度和物种多样性差异显著.其林分灌木层的物种丰富度指数和物种多样性指数均大于草本层,此两层的物种丰富度和Shannon -Wiener指数差异极显著,Simpson指数差异显著;其米槠林乔木层和草本层的物种多样性差异不明显.该林分各层次间的群落均匀度差异不显著.     

杉木人工林近自然化改造对林分结构及物种多样性的影响

对近自然改造8a的杉木人工林的林分结构和物种多样性进行了研究,分析探讨了杉木人工林近自然改造的初步效果。结果表明：近自然改造后,试验林分的直径结构呈现出由同龄林的正态分布逐渐向异龄林的倒“J”型过渡的趋势,树高级结构呈单峰型,主要分布在2m～8m。同时,主林层林木数量大幅降低,林下更新的乔木和灌木表现出逐步进入主林层的趋势。试验林分乔木层物种丰富度指数、Shannon-Wiener指数和Pielou的均匀度指数与对照林分无显著差异,表明伐除杉木对乔木层物种多样性无显著影响。试验林分灌木层物种丰富度指数、Shannon-Wiener指数和Simpson指数均显著高于对照林分。因此,近自然改造促进了杉木人工林下乡土树种的更新和生长,使林下乡土树种生长更新加快,物种多样性增加。     

北京八达岭植物群落多样性特征分析

根据34个样地的调查资料,分析了该地区森林植物群落物种多样性的特征:群落内各层物种丰富度指数的大小为草本层>灌木层>乔木层;多样性指数的大小为乔木层<灌木层和草本层。灌木层与草本层的多样性指数随林分郁闭度变化而变化,在林分郁闭度为25%的侧柏黄栌混交林中,灌木层的多样性指数和丰富度指数小于草本层;在郁闭度53%的杂木林中,灌木层和草本层的多样性指数接近;在郁闭度53%以上的各个群落内,草本层的多样性指数和丰富度指数基本上都大于灌木层。人工林中的物种多样性变化多样,明显低于天然林,林分层次单一,更新不良,缺乏灌木层和地被植物,生态系统很不稳定。     

河北雾灵山典型森林群落物种多样性研究

在对雾灵山自然保护区9个代表林分物种多样性详细调查的基础上,运用多种群落多样性指数对其群落的物种多样性进行分析。结果表明:各群落在乔木层、灌木层和草本层的物种多样性指数均呈现出一定的差异。乔木层物种多样性、P ielou均匀度指数和丰富度指数变化趋势呈一致性。灌木层和草本层均出现不一致性,主要是因为各林分起源不同,天然林群落是由处于不同发育阶段、具有不同组成结构、大小不同的众多斑块镶嵌而成的,是一个健康的生态系统。人工林群落的生物多样性很低,使人工林群落无论在活力、组织结构和恢复能力等诸方面,均表现出系统的不健康特点。     

六盘山自然保护区森林群落物种多样性研究

用多样性指数、丰富度指数和均匀度指数对六盘山自然保护区森林群落的物种多样性及其与环境的关系进行分析,结果表明:六盘山自然保护区3个植被型的物种多样性指数的顺序为:落叶阔叶混交林＞针阔混交林＞针叶林.各项指数在群落梯度上的总体趋势表现为:多样性指数灌木层＞草本层＞乔木层,物种丰富度指数灌木层＞乔木层＞草本层,均匀度指数灌木层＞草本层＞乔木层.各群落多样性指数在海拔梯度上的变化规律呈单峰曲线变化,即中等海拔高度上的群落物种多样性较高,而高海拔和低海拔多样性较低.

Chloroplast DNA diversity in Castanopsis hystrix populations in south China

Nineteen Chinese populations of Castanopsis hystrix were examined to quantify genetic diversity and genetic structure at chloroplast DNA. Microsatellites (SSR) were analyzed by PCR using conserved primers. The average within population gene diversity (H_S), the total gene diversity (H_T), and the differentiation for unordered alleles (G_ST) and for ordered alleles (N_ST) were measured. Fourteen different haplotypes were detected, two of them very common. The level of differentiation among populations (G_ST = 23.6%) indicates a highly efficient seed dispersal mechanism. In addition, the difference between G_ST and N_ST for the species is not significant, suggesting that the phylogeographic structure is weak or absent. The geographical pattern of C. hystrix haplotypes could be attributed to its migration from the numerous and scattered refugia, where the species confined during the last glacial period. These results provide an important insight into patterns of postglacial recolonization of this tree species.     

Using landscape preference models and tree-scale measurements to predict stand quality

Scenic beauty estimation (SBE) models that quantify landscape aesthetics through picture-based questionnaires are complicated to develop. Therefore, precise, simple, and widely applicable models of SBE prediction based on tree and stand measurements must be developed. To investigate the application of tree- and stand-based SBE models to Chinese fir forest management, the relationships between diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (H) measurements and tree- (T_SBE) and stand (S_SBE)-based SBE predictions were assessed. T_SBE and S_SBE were strongly influenced by DBH and H measurements according to either a power function or linear function, depending on the variables. When the mean stand DBH was less than 8.4?cm or H was less than 9.8 m, dense canopies resulted in negative S_SBE residuals. In stands with large trees and non-dense canopies, the residuals of S_SBE were positive. We conclude that average H and DBH measurements within a stand can be used to predict S_SBE by extrapolating the tree-based SBE model to form a stand-based SBE model. Therefore, SBE models based on individual tree measurements can provide quantitative guidance for forest landscape quality planning and evaluation.     

基于土壤水分承载力的林分密度计算与调控——以六盘山华北落叶松人工林为例

立地水分条件决定的植被承载力是干旱缺水地区森林合理经营的重要依据。考虑到干旱缺水地区的森林蒸散耗水在水分输出中占据绝对主导地位,其大小直接与叶面积指数(LAI)相关,将林冠LAI在生长季一段时间内的最大值(LAImax)作为植被承载力(LAIc)的量化指标,利用冠层分析仪(LAI-2000),在六盘山香水河小流域和叠叠沟小流域的44个华北落叶松人工林样地,实测了冠层LAI的季节动态变化,研究了生长季内LAImax与林分断面积、郁闭度、平均树高、密度等常用林分结构指标的关系。结果表明:LAImax与林分不同结构指标均呈幂函数关系,其决定系数(R2)依次为0.84、0.82、0.56、0.47,说明能同时反映林分密度和树体大小的林分断面积与林冠LAI相关最紧密。将LAImax与林分断面积的幂函数关系嵌入了林分平均胸径与林分密度和林龄关系的模型,用以描述LAImax与林龄和密度的关系,并利用样地实测数据拟合了模型参数。拟合建立的模型对所有样地的LAImax的计算值与实测值的相对误差平均为8.6%(0%20.4%),能较好地描述LAI与林龄和密度的关系。利用此模型,进一步导出了能依据给定的LAIc,简捷计算出不同林龄时的可承载林分密度的模型,从而为基于立地水分植被承载力的林分密度管理和森林多功能经营等提供技术支持。

Root anchorage and stem strength of black spruce (Picea mariana) trees in regular and irregular stands

A tree winching experiment was conducted, simulating wind actionand resulting damage, in order to assess mechanical resistanceof black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) trees in standsof regular and irregular structures. The critical bending moment(M_c) of winched trees was determined and the relationship betweenM_c and tree and stand characteristics was investigated throughstatistical analyses. Stem mass (SW), average spacing betweentrees (S) and height:diameter ratio (H/d.b.h.) were initiallyselected by a screening procedure to predict M_c. Potential differencesbetween stand structures were tested in mixed models using differentsubsets of the data. Included fixed effects varied between thedifferent models. SW was the most useful and significant variablein all models and H/d.b.h. was significant only when snappedtrees were included in the analysis. When decayed samples wereexcluded, resistance to uprooting was higher in irregular stands.Decay seemed to play an important role in irregular stands andshould be investigated further. Since no difference was observedin the relationship between stem mass and critical turning momentbetween distant sites, relationships should be applicable acrosswide regions. This study provides some of the basic relationshipsrequired to model windthrow risk in irregular stands. However,the effects of stand structure on wind load for individual treeswill also need to be considered.     

Tree effects on the chemical topsoil features of oak, beech and pine forests

We aimed to study tree effects on the chemical properties of forest soils. We compared soil features of three types of forest ecosystems, each with four stands (replicates): beech forests (Fagus sylvatica), oak forests (dominated by Quercus pyrenaica) and pine plantations (Pinus sylvestris). Five samples from the top 10 cm of soil were taken per stand, from which pH, organic matter content (O.M.), total nitrogen (N) and available calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), potassium (K⁺) and sodium (Na⁺) were determined. Litter layer depth was measured at each soil sampling point. We also measured tree density and crown diameters at each stand. Our results indicated that soil samples from the four pine plantation stands were more similar while oak and beech stands were characterised by great variability in terms of soil properties and leaf litter depth. Although the identity of the dominant tree species significantly influenced several topsoil chemical properties (increase in pH and available cations in oak forests and higher organic matter and total nitrogen in beech and pine ecosystems), there were other important factors affecting soil features that may be taken under consideration. Differences between soil properties of the three types of forest ecosystems were mainly related to the characteristics of the litter layer and less related to the tree layer structure. Finally, the establishment of pine plantations in naturally deciduous tree areas made the topsoil features more homogeneous.
