森林生态系统经营规划决策的研究

以带岭林业局东方红林场森林为例,进行了中、长期的森林生态系统规划决策的研究。在规划中以恢复地带性顶极群落作为经营目标,以各种林分类型向相应的顶极群落演替所需要的相对时间长短作为距离系数建立目标函数。在研究了该区域天然林经营与替模型基础上,把东方红林场森林划分为８个森林经营类型组,分析和定义了决策变量及约束条件。进行线性规划求解。研究结果认为,这种森林规划兼顾森林的经济和生态效益。适应性经营与一体化森林规划体系是控制和纠正这种森林规划风险性的技术手段。     

小胡杨对滨海苏打盐渍土改良效果研究

滨海苏打盐渍土修筑台田后种植小胡杨可以成活,18年后小胡杨林分基本郁闭。以未种植树木的台田作为对照(CK),对小胡杨林地内植被演替规律、土壤水分物理性质进行研究。结果表明,小胡杨成林后,林地内植被向良性方向发展,群落生态型由中度耐盐群落演替成轻度耐盐群落,群落高度也由0.2～0.6 m增加到0.5～0.8m,盖度则达到80%～90%,土壤也由苏打盐渍土转变成轻盐碱土;小胡杨可显著降低土壤容重,改善土壤孔隙状况,增加土壤持水性能,使土壤水分物理性质得到显著改良,其中,对0～10 cm土层的改良效果要好于10～30 cm土层。     

Reciprocal adjustments between landforms and living organisms: Extended geomorphic evolutionary insights

Whilst biological organisms adapt to the environment, earth surface processes and landforms evolve as a result of physicochemical processes, and as the result of the activity of certain living organisms defined as ‘ecosystem engineers’. The importance of long- and short-term impacts on geomorphic structures and processes by ecosystem engineers appears to be underestimated. Recent recognition of complex abiotic–biotic feedbacks in nature has resulted in a convergence of approaches in ecology and geomorphology. Present biogeomorphic knowledge supports the hypothesis that abiotic–biotic feedbacks create characteristic modulated patterns of earth surface landforms, adjusting according to biological evolution in the long term and to ecological succession in the short term. In this context, natural selection of organisms and ecological successions are considered to have the potential, in some cases, for extension to the physical world, including earth surface landforms. This perspective aims to contribute to the disruption of the ‘classical’ dichotomy between abiotic–biotic compartments because it emphasizes reciprocal adjustments (i.e., feedback mechanisms) between living organisms and abiotic environment dynamics. The extended evolutionary perspective, that is intended to feed back to ecology and evolutionary biology, indicates the potential for change in our deep understanding of geomorphology to reflect evolutionary and ecological succession theories.     

Soil development along primary succession sequences on moraines of Hailuogou Glacier,Gongga Mountain,Sichuan, China

Soil properties related to soil development were measured in six profiles over approximately 180 years of soil development on recessional moraines of the Hailuogou Glacier, Sichuan of southwestern China. It is hypothesized that soil development is strictly time-dependent. Field and laboratory work indicate that as soil develops from initially coarse gravel outwash, the properties undergo a progressive physical and chemical change such that there is a considerable profile differentiation between the youngest and the oldest soils. The pH is also highly stratified; it decreases with time from 8.5 to 4.2 in the upper mineral soil and increases with depth in all profiles. Accumulation of soil organic C and N increases with time but the rates of accumulation become slower with time. Within the investigated timespan, soil C and N accumulated to a considerable level of 3.5 and 0.6 kg/m² respectively, with mean annual rates of 28 g/m² for carbon and 3.5 g/m² for nitrogen. The rapid accumulation of organic C and N accelerates the processes of soil formation, but the content of organic C and N did not reach a steady-state during the observed timespan. The accumulation of soil organic matter results in increased acid production and in the chemical weathering of minerals that promote formation and translocation of the clay fraction and leaching of carbonate; it is also directly responsible for development of soil properties such as cation exchange capacity (CEC), and bulk density.

南京紫金山糙叶树种群结构与动态

为明晰地带性植被糙叶树种群结构与动态特征,根据1 hm²固定样地中优势种糙叶树的每木调查结果,通过种群静态生命表、存活曲线、生存分析函数及时间序列模型,对糙叶树种群的结构动态进行分析。结果表明：1)糙叶树种群属于增长型,在自然干扰下,种群数量变化动态指数为3.04%,表明该种群能够在当前演替阶段保持稳定。2)种群存活曲线趋于Deevey-Ⅱ直线型B₃亚型,死亡率和消失率均表现出波动性特征。3)时间序列预测表明,在经过2～5个龄级后,除Ⅸ和Ⅺ龄级外,种群各龄级的个体数量均有不同程度增长。综上所述,虽然紫金山糙叶树种群个体数量在当前演替阶段能够维持稳定,但种群在幼中龄过渡阶段死亡率(43.2%)和死亡密度(9.7%)偏高,需通过适度开展科学的经营性择伐等森林抚育措施,及时伐除病残木,营造小林窗,改善林内生存环境,从而促进糙叶树种群的天然更新与苗木生长。     

Effect of vegetation restoration on ant nest‐building activities following mobile dune stabilization in the Horqin Sandy land,Northern China

Measurements of the density and characteristics (size and height) of ant mounds were carried out on mobile, semi‐mobile, semi‐fixed and fixed dunes in the Horqin Sandy Land, Northern China. The relationships between the distribution of ant mounds and the plant community (abundance and cover) were investigated, for areas within and across the dune stages. Changes in spatial pattern of ant mounds were also analysed following mobile dune stabilization. The results showed no ant mounds on mobile dunes; the mound density was significantly higher on fixed dunes than on semi‐fixed or semi‐mobile dunes. The mound density depended on plant density and cover across all dune stages, but not within any dune stage. The mound diameter increased but the mound height decreased from semi‐mobile dunes to fixed dunes. However, the mound diameter and height were not related to plant cover and density within any stabilization stage or across all dune stages. The spatial pattern of ant mounds tended to change from more clumped (semi‐mobile and semi‐fixed dunes) to less clumped and approached a random pattern (fixed dunes) along the dune stabilization gradient, which was related to the changing vegetation pattern during succession. Although the quantification of the number of ant species present was not attempted on each dune, the observed differences in ant colour and size suggest at least eight species were present. Fixed dunes were more attractive for different kinds of ant species, but the mound distribution exhibited a more random pattern with more continuous vegetation. Thus, different environmental conditions, especially in terms of the plant communities present at different dune stages, affected the activities and behaviour of the ants (including the distribution of mounds), but did not affect mound size and height.

以大蜡螟与人工培养基连续传代的两种斯氏线虫生物学特性比较

本文比较了 Steinernema carpocaprae 和 Steinernema anomali 两个种(品系)的斯氏昆虫病原线虫,分别在大蜡螟和鸡什海绵人工培养基下连续传代培养的两个种群的形态、带菌率、发育、繁殖、毒力和寻找寄主能力的差异。试验表明:同一种(品系)长期在蜡螟传代的线虫种群比人工培养基传代的种群的线虫体较大,在寄主昆虫内发育怏、繁殖量大。但细菌保留率、感染率、感染指数、在沙里寻找寄主并使其致死的能力稍低。上述的差异在 S.anomali 这个种尤为明显,S.car pocapsae 则差异不大。

Estimating dispersibility of Acer,Fraxinus and Tilia in fragmented landscapes from patterns of seedling establishment

Relative dispersibility of Tilia americana L., Acer saccharum Marsh. and Fraxinus pennsylvanica Marsh, was inferred from the ratio among species-specific regression coefficients () computed from seedling density-distance plots. Density counts were made in spatially-uniform old fields adjacent to single seed sources or monotypic fencerows. Resultant seedling shadow curves approximate the negative exponential form expected for many seeds (log y=a–X). This basic curve shape fit species of differing dispersibility, dispersal under a range of wind directions and one-year-old or all-aged cohorts. The ratios of were 1:2.6:3.2 for Tilia, Acer and Fraxinus, respectively, in order of increasing dispersibility. Vegetation patches isolated from seed sources by several hundred meters or more should have extremely low input of seeds, especially Tilia and Acer.The finding that Fraxinus disperses farther than Acer was unexpected, since the samaras of the former have faster terminal velocities. The relationship can be explained by better performance of Fraxinus samaras in the stronger winds experienced by trees in open landscapes, poorer formation of the samara abscission layer, and release of samaras following leaf abscission and during the winter when winds are the strongest. Both the samara plan and dispersal phenology need to be considered in estimating relative dispersibility among species.
