黄土高原生态系统演替进程中土壤有机质和pH值变化规律

通过对黄土高原生态系统演替进程中土壤有机质和pH值变化进行分析,结果表明:在同一演替系列中,随演替进程的推移,土壤中有机质增加,pH值减小;在不同地段上,演替高级阶段土壤的有机质高于低级阶段,pH值正好相反;人为间断干扰的生态系统土壤有机质下降,pH值升高;人为持续干扰的亚顶级生态系统土壤有机质明显降低,PH值明显升高.     

从中全新世古森林探讨生物多样性变化

本文从历史植物地理学的角度、根据川西南山地冕宁县沉黄沼泽地层中发掘出中全新世以来保存完好的大量古森林遗迹资料，通过多学科综合性研究证实，中全新世“沉黄古森林”距今约７０００多年，是由４４科、５５属、７３种森林植物组成，以铁杉为主要建群种，林内混生有多种常绿和落叶针阔叶树种。从该森林的演变和种类组成变化得知，在距今４５００年～２８００年间，铁杉和阔叶树种数量减少，云南松数量增加，杉木已从森林中消失；距今２８００年后铁杉进一步减少，云南松显著增加，黄杉、华山松、油杉、桦木、木荷、桤木逐渐从森林中消失；距今２０００年左右，铁杉和雪松从森林中消失。目前该地区森林已演变成云南松林或松栎混交林。森林生态环境演变大致分为４个阶段：（１）温暖多雨阶段（距今７０００年以前）；（２）温暖湿润阶段（距今７０００年～４５００年）；（３）温暖潮润阶段（距今４５００年～２８００年）；（４）温暖干燥阶段（距今２８００年以来）。由上可见，沉黄中全新世古森林及生态环境的演变，提供了这一森林生态系统在时间和空间上物种多样性变化的实例。     

浑善达克沙地飞播区不同恢复阶段植物群落结构动态变化

为研究浑善达克沙地飞播区不同恢复阶段植物群落结构动态变化,揭示飞播后浑善达克沙地植被恢复的特点和变化规律,于2013—2017年在浑善达克沙地11个飞播区进行了植被调查试验,并从功能型角度出发,结合对应分析、关联度分析以及Mann-Kendall趋势分析等数据分析方法探讨了飞播区植被恢复的阶段性以及各功能型植物在群落中的地位和作用。结果显示:浑善达克沙地飞播区19 a恢复时间共分为3个恢复阶段,且飞播后,伴随恢复时间的推移,乔木、灌木半灌木、多年生杂类草、一/二年生杂类草、多年生豆科牧草、多年生禾草、一/二年生禾草7个功能型植物间的相互依赖程度逐渐减弱;随着恢复年限的增加,群落的稳定性逐渐增大。不同恢复阶段,植被恢复的主导功能型并不唯一,可在不同阶段进行适时管理,从而使植物群落的演替阶段和整体发展趋势更有利于退化沙地的植被恢复与重建。     

植被恢复演替初期对模拟降雨产流特征的影响

利用模拟降雨装置,研究了演替恢复初期不同植被覆盖以及不同处理下坡面降雨的产流过程和人渗率。实验研究结果表明,植被演替开始之初,由于地表土壤的土质比较疏松,土壤的人渗率比较大。随着植被演替的进行,土壤中有机质等物质的逐渐累积,土壤的理化性质发生了变化,土壤的人渗特征也随之降低。剪草降雨小区的实验研究结果说明,在降雨的初期,土壤的人渗性能相对较低,随着实验的进行,在雨滴的打击下,部分结皮被破坏,土壤的人渗率也随之增大。说明地表生物结皮的存在,降低了土壤的人渗性能。采取适当的措施破坏地表生物结皮,有利于提高土壤的人渗性能,增加干旱半干旱地区对降雨的利用程度。     

林下植被对半干旱区不同密度刺槐林地土壤水分环境的指示作用

 研究林下植被对不同密度林地土壤水分环境的指示作用,可以为造林营林中的密度调控、提高林分生产力和林分稳定性等,提供理论根据。为此,对山西黄土丘陵沟壑区的14年生人工刺槐(Robiniapseudoacacia)林6种造林密度(1.5m×2m、1.5m×3m、1.5m×4m、1.5m×5m、1.5m×6m、1.5m×7m)林分的土壤水分、林下光照强度等环境因子进行观测,同时,采用样方调查法,对不同密度林内的树木生长情况和林下植物的类型、数量、分布及发育状况进行了研究。结果表明:密度小的林分内,各小环境指标均优于密度大的林分,其中土壤水分、光照强度有显著的随林分密度增大而减小的趋势,刺槐林地内随着林分密度的增大,渐渐出现干旱、半干旱地区成龄人工林土壤干化的现象,林下植被的种类和数量相应减少,物种丰富度和物种多样性指数也降低,且逐步由以鹅观草(Roegneriakamoji),小菅草(Themedaminor)为典型的中生植物,向以角蒿(Incarvilleasinensis),灰绿藜(Chenopodiumglaucum)为典型的旱生植物过渡,反映出林分内的小环境条件随林分密度变化的特征。因此,在半干旱区造林和营林中,密度不可过大,以便提高林分生产力和林分稳定性。     

露天金矿剥离物植被演替规律及植被恢复对策--以公别拉河流域为例

在外业调查基础上，对黑河地区公别拉流域内的露天金矿剥离物植被自然恢复和演替规律进行分析研究，发现植被恢复的速度受时间和剥离物组成共同影响，其中剥离物中土和沙砾比例是影响的主要因素。植被演替中优势种随时间变化而不同，前期以多肉植物为主，后期菊科植物成为优势种。针对植被演替规律和剥离物特性提出快速恢复植被相应对策。     

Functional diversity of microbial communities in the mixed boreal plain forest of central Canada

This study was designed to examine whether or not specific tree species (Picea glauca, Picea mariana, Pinus banksiana, Populus tremuloides), their post-fire stand age, or their position in a successional pathway had any significant effect on the functional diversity of associated soil microbial communities in a typical mixed boreal forest ecosystem (Duck Mountain Provincial Forest, Manitoba, Canada). Multivariate analyses designed to identify significant biotic and/or abiotic variables associated with patterns of organic substrate utilization (assessed using the BIOLOG™ System) revealed the overall similarity in substrate utilization by the soil microbial communities. The five clusters identified differed mainly by their substrate-utilization value rather than by specific substrate utilization. Variability in community functional diversity was not strongly associated to tree species or post-fire stand age; however, redundancy analysis indicated a stronger association between substrate utilization and successional pathway and soil pH. For example, microbial communities associated with the relatively high pH soils of the P. tremuloides-P. glauca successional pathway, exhibited a greater degree of substrate utilization than those associated with the P. banksiana-P. mariana successional pathway and more acidic soils. Differences in functional diversity specific to tree species were not observed and this may have reflected the mixed nature of the forest stands and of their heterogeneous forest floor. In a densely treed, mixed boreal forest ecosystem, great overlap in tree and understory species occur making it difficult to assign a definitive microbial community to any particular tree species. The presence of P. tremuloides in all stand types and post fire stand ages has probably contributed to the large amount of overlap in utilization profiles among soil samples.     

Lichens and bryophytes on Eucalyptus obliqua in Tasmania: management implications in production forests

Thirty lichen and 25 bryophyte species have been recorded from the buttresses of Eucalyptus obliqua, the dominant tree in wet sclerophyll forest at the Warra Long-Term Ecological Research Site in southern Tasmania. The flora, characterised by four major associations, is very distinctive, containing a relatively high number of eucalypt specialists, particularly among the lichens. A general trend towards increasing species richness with increasing tree diameter is apparent and is attributed mainly to increasing habitat diversity on the buttresses. The increase in species occurs without the loss of pioneers; thus succession involves addition rather than replacement of species. The relationships between epiphytes, tree age and forest age are complicated by the periodic occurrence of fires in the forest. Nevertheless, potential oldgrowth indicators are identified and the possible effects of current silvicultural practices on the conservation of the species are discussed.
