Ants (Formicidae, Hymenoptera) play an important role in seed bank, seedling establishment andplant composition of arid ecosystems. Thus, knowing plant-ant interaction provides useful information formanagers to design restoration and conservation plans. In this study, the roles of desert harvester ants (Messorintermedius and Messor melancholicus) and scavenger ants (Cataglyphis nodus and Lepisiota semenovi) on plantcommunities were investigated in arid ecosystems of southeastern Iran. Two vegetation types weredistinguished in the study area and the nest density of ant species was determined. Furthermore, plantcomposition and soil seed bank were estimated at different distances from the ant nests. Results showed thatthe density of M. intermedius and M. melancholicus nests was higher in dwarf shrub-shrub vegetation type and thedensity of C. nodus and L. semenovi nests was higher in dwarf shrub vegetation type. The harvester and scavengerants had enhanced the seed bank to 55% and 70%, respectively. Therefore, the role of scavenger ants on theplant communities' seed bank was greater than that of harvester ants. Although the scavenger ants were moreinfluential on the annuals and the invasive plant species, the radius impact of the harvester ants on theperennials was greater, i.e., a positive interaction existed between the perennial plants and the harvester ants. C.nodus and L. semenovi played an important role in enhancing the ecosystem's potential for restoration throughestablishment of pioneer species in early stage of succession. The activity of M. intermedius is crucial for thedevelopment and maintenance of climax plant communities in arid ecosystems through assisting the plantspecies' establishment in late stage of succession. It is essential to preserve the diversity of these key ant speciesfor the maintenance and sustainability of shrubs in arid ecosystems.  相似文献

Exploring new wild plant species of economic importance with tolerance to harsh environmental conditions in arid countries may be a viable option to improve forage yield. The present study was conducted during two consecutive years and aimed to investigate the nutritional values of eleven selected wild fodder species, six annuals, and five perennials. Detailed analyses of the nutritional values during two different seasons for perennials and two different growth stages for annuals are presented. The results showed that most studied plants have high nutritional values compared to earlier studies on taxonomically related species growing in different arid areas. The mean content of dry matter, ash, crude protein and lipids was 27, 13, 14, and 3.5%, respectively. Neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose were 44, 26.5, 6.2, 20.2, and 13.7%, respectively. The studied species showed means of 43 and 49% for in vitro dry matter disappearance (IVDMD) for perennials and annuals, respectively. In general, there were slight differences between the 2 years for both perennials and annual species and significant differences among different seasons for perennials and between growth stages for annuals. The study strongly recommends further detailed experimental studies on A. graecizans, Boerhavia diffusa and Cymbopogon schoenanthus, which showed more crude protein, a low fiber content and high IVDMD, as unconventional forage crops in arid lands.  相似文献

草本层是古尔班通古特沙漠植被的重要组成部分,在维持沙漠稳定、养分循环等方面具有重要意义。水分通常以积雪和降雨形式输入到土壤,输入方式及数量变化对荒漠植物的存活和生长有重要影响。本文以古尔班通古特沙漠南缘草本层为研究对象,利用人工增减积雪的方法,共设置4个积雪处理(0,50%,100%,200%积雪,其中100%积雪为对照),于2009—2016年春季调查草本植物的数量特征和物种丰富度,分析草本植物数量特征对水分变化的响应;同时结合气象数据,分析不同年份一年生荒漠草本植物数量特征与主要气象因子的关系。结果表明:表层土壤含水量与积雪厚度成正比,相应的草本植物的幼苗密度与积雪水当量、表层土壤含水量成正比关系;2009—2016年,年内积雪量的变化对物种丰富度没有显著影响,各积雪处理间物种丰富度差异不显著;2009—2016年自然处理下年际间物种丰富度差异显著,2015年物种丰富度显著小于其余年份。结合气象数据分析发现,物种丰富度年际变化主要受幼苗建成期的降雨调控,并且干旱年份过后的湿润年份物种丰富度不受前一年降水的影响,说明荒漠草本植物层片具有较强的自我调节能力;自然处理下,不同年份草本植物旺盛期的存活数量与大气干旱程度(空气饱和差)呈显著负相关关系(R2值为0.611,P<0.05),与生长季的降雨量呈正相关关系(R2值为0.162, P>0.05),说明大气干旱程度更能表征荒漠草本植物生长峰值期的存活情况。  相似文献

以内蒙古乌拉特荒漠草原灌丛和草本植物群落为对象,研究这2种植物群落的物种组成、物种多样性及其与地上生物量关系对不同放牧处理(对照、中牧、重牧)的响应。结果表明:①随着放牧强度的增加,灌丛群落中红砂(Reaumuria songarica)和碱韭(Allium polyrhizum)的优势度增大,沙生针茅(Stipa glareosa)的优势度减小;重牧降低草本群落中沙生针茅的优势度,增加了蒙古韭(Allium mongolicum)和碱韭的优势度。②不同放牧处理显著降低了灌丛和草本群落的盖度、高度以及灌丛群落的密度,消除了灌丛和草本群落之间盖度的差异(P> 0. 05)。中牧降低灌丛群落的Pielou均匀度指数,重牧降低灌丛群落的物种丰富度,灌丛和草本群落的其他多样性指数在放牧处理之间无显著差异(P> 0. 05)。除物种丰富度外,其他多样性指数在灌丛和草本群落之间差异显著(P <0. 05)。③不同放牧处理降低了灌丛和草本群落的地上生物量和凋落物量,导致灌丛和草本群落之间地上生物量的显著差异(P <0. 05)。④地上生物量与Simpson优势度指数负相关,与Shannon-Wienner多样性指数和Pielou均匀度指数正相关;放牧处理下地上生物量与密度、物种丰富度正相关。放牧处理改变了荒漠草原植物群落组成、结构和功能,进而改变了群落结构和功能的重要关系。  相似文献

Exotic plant invasion is a growing concern in the conservation and management of indigenous arid land ecosystems.By creating areas of ameliorated microclimates and fertile soil below their canopies,perennial plants might influence exotic annual plant invasions.We conducted a quantitative literature review of studies that compared exotic annual plant abundance among native perennial plant species and interspace(open areas)microsites in North America's Mojave Desert,where exotic plant invasion has corresponded with increasing extent of wildfire and broad-scale ecosystem transformation.Ten studies compared exotic annual plant abundance between interspaces and below a total of 36 native perennial species.These studies revealed that:(1)With few exceptions,most native perennial species supported a greater abundance of exotic annuals than interspaces,indicating overall facilitation of exotic species by native perennials.(2)Exotic species abundance varied by orders of magnitude among native perennial species,with some perennial species harboring amounts of exotics similar to interspaces.(3)Distributions of dominant exotic species varied,where Bromus rubens displayed a greater affinity for below-perennial microsites than did Schismus spp.and Erodium cicutarium that often were most abundant in interspaces.Results suggest that the degree of facilitation of exotic plants warrants consideration when selecting native perennial species for revegetation and restoration projects.  相似文献

Stress gradient hypothesis predicted that facilitative interactions usually increase in intensity and are importance with abiotic stress.By contrast,facilitation may be lost in time,when it involves the growth of benefactors or beneficiaries.Less is known about which response pattern is more common in arid desert.We present an empirical study to explore shrub-annual interactions at the community and individual level along the course of a single growing season in a desert steppe in northwest China.Here the severity of drought stress may increase in time due to uneven precipitation during plant growing season.We assessed growth responses of annuals in understory where two dominant shrubs were removed.Annuals responses showed a switch from weakly positive to more strongly positive beneath Calligonum mongolicum,whereas from positive to negative beneath Nitraria sphaerocarpa during the growing season.Additionally,annual species with contrasting functional traits showed distinct growth responses to canopies removal.There was evidence of an increase in soil moisture below the canopy of shrubs,but a decrease in potential evaporation rate and photosynthetically active radiation,which can partly explain these species-specific responses.We conclude that the balance between competitive and facilitative effects in shrub-annual interactions is not only governed by the severity of stress but also determined by plant traits,such as canopy structure of shrubs and functional traits of their understory annuals.  相似文献

为了探究西鄂尔多斯地区荒漠灌丛的光合生态适应性,以4种天然荒漠灌丛半日花(Helianthemum songaricum)、红砂(Reaumuria songarica)、沙冬青(Ammopiptanthus mongolicus)、霸王(Sarcozygium xanthoxylon)为研究材料,利用Li-6400便携式光合测定仪野外原位测定荒漠灌丛日光合动态和季节动态规律。结果表明:①不同季节灌丛光合作用适宜的温度存在差异,高温环境使灌丛净光合速率最适温度升高,低温环境使其降低。②不同季节4种灌丛的净光合速率、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率和气孔导度日变化曲线趋势为"双峰形",胞间CO2浓度日变化曲线趋势为"W形",但不同季节各指标平均日变化趋势表现各异。③不同季节灌丛净光合能力表现为:沙冬青>霸王>红砂>半日花,说明沙冬青具有较强的生态适应性。④净光合速率和蒸腾速率日变化趋势几乎保持同步状态,表明4种灌丛叶片气孔对外界环境变化反应敏感。⑤水分是限制荒漠灌丛生长发育的关键因素。为了保证荒漠植物的群落稳定性和生物多样性,在夏、秋季需对沙冬青、半日花、红砂和霸王进行水分管理。  相似文献

Environmental heterogeneity significantly affects the structure of ecological communities. Exploring vegetation distribution and its relationship with environmental factors is essential to understanding the abiotic mechanism(s) driving vegetation succession, especially in the ecologically fragile areas. In this study, based on the quantitative analysis of plant community and environmental factors in 68 plots at 10 different transects in the Minqin oasis-desert ecotone(ODE) of northwestern China, we investigated desert vegetation distribution and species-environment relationships using multivariate analysis. Two-way indicator species analysis(TWINSPAN), detrended correspondence analysis(DCA), and canonical correspondence analysis(CCA) methods were used. A total of 28 species, belonging to 27 genera in 8 families, were identified. Chenopodiaceae, Zygophyllaceae, Gramineae, and Leguminosae were the largest families. Annual and perennial herbs accounted for 28.60% of the total number of plants, while shrubs(42.90%) were the most dominant. Nitraria tangutorum was the constructive species of the desert plant community. We divided the 68 plots surveyed in this study into 7 community types, according to the results of TWINSPAN. The distribution of these 7 communities in the DCA ordination graph showed that species with a similar ecotype were clustered together. Results of CCA indicated that groundwater was the dominant factor influencing vegetation distribution, while distance between plot and oasis(Dis) and soil electrical conductivity(EC) were the local second-order factors. Our study suggests that optimizing the utilization of groundwater in oases is key to controlling the degradation of desert vegetation. The favorable topographic conditions of sand dunes should be fully utilized for vegetal dune stabilization, and the influence of soil salinity on the selection of afforestation tree species should be considered.  相似文献

Spider communities (Araneae) inhabiting the canopy, the herbaceous layer and the borders, as well as the populations overwintering on the tree trunks of different aged IPM and conventional apple orchards were investigated in Hungary. Abundance and species richness of entire spider communities in IPM plots were significantly higher than in conventional plots, probably owing to the lower toxicity of pesticides used and higher prey densities. In the case of abundance, similar tendencies were observed in web-building and hunting spider guilds. Age of plantations can significantly influence spider density in the canopy, acting through the prey density. In young plantations, where size of the canopy was smaller and density of the pear lace bug (Stephanitis pyri L.) higher, significantly higher numbers of hunting spider communities were present than in old plantations which had been similarly treated. This relationship was not observed for web-building spiders. Diversity of canopy-inhabiting spider communities was higher in old plots, regardless of the treatments. The effect of the border of the orchard on spider communities was investigated and it was found that when selective insecticides were used, migration of spiders into orchards was increased significantly. When broad-spectrum insecticides were applied, spider densities in the canopy did not differ between outer and inner rows of the orchards. The effect of the treatments and orchard age, both on abundance and species richness of overwintering spider communities on the trunk, showed the same result as for canopy spiders, namely significantly larger spider communities were found in IPM plots and in the young plantation than in conventionally-treated plots and in the old plantation. Broad-spectrum insecticides reduced abundance and species richness of spider communities in the herbaceous layer of the conventionally-treated plot. At the same time, the spider communities of the herbaceous layer of the IPM plot did not differ significantly from adjacent herbaceous plants. A significant overlap exists between spider communities of the canopy and herbaceous layer. Despite chemical treatments, migration from the herbaceous layer into the canopy occurs. The effects of chemical treatments on the dominant species are discussed. There were no significant differences between the differently treated plots in abundance of one of the dominant species Oxyopes heterophthalmus Latreille. However, the other dominant species, Cheiracanthium mildei L. Koch, was more abundant in the IPM plots.  相似文献

There are many patterns of coexistence in communities, including partitioning based on spatial, temporal, or food niches. This study considered the partitioning of food between two ecologically similar and sympatric species, the tamarisk gerbil and the midday gerbil, in the Terek-Kuma Lowland of the Republic of Daghestan. The qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the diets of both gerbils were revealed. The species have relatively wide diets; the tamarisk gerbil’s diet consisted of forty-six plant species, and the midday gerbil’s diet consisted of fifty plant species within the study areas. Thirty plant species were present in the diets of the two gerbils. The dietary breadths of both gerbils were similar. The dietary overlap of the two gerbils ranged from low to moderate (average Pianka’s dietary overlap index, 0.476?±?0.08). Finally, under conditions in which food resources are sufficient, the moderate abundance of gerbils and the high diversity of habitats and microhabitats in the study areas allow these two species of gerbils to coexist in a common location.  相似文献

The ability of plants to safely retain seeds in the mother plant is an adaptive mechanism described in many desert plants. However, research about delayed seed dispersal species in the desert of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is lacking. This study aims to identify these delayed seed dispersal species and assess the relationships of the presence of delayed seed dispersal with plant growth form, habit, spatial dispersal, antitelechoric mechanism, and seed release time. The relationships between the presence of delayed seed dispersal and the above studied traits were assessed by using the Pearson Chi-square test and Nonlinear Principal Components Analysis (NLPCA). Results showed that a total of 46 delayed seed dispersal species were recorded (15.0% of 307 studied species) and the highest incidence occurred in the Fabaceae family (17.4%). Delayed seed dispersal species were predominantly perennial plants (73.9%) with spatial restricted dispersal (67.4%), which released seed in the dry season (45.7%). The dominant groups of delayed seed dispersal species were persistent fruits species and synaptospermy (28.3%). All graminoids showed persistent lignified fruits, while prostrate annuals were basicarpic species with myxospermy. Sandy habitats had the highest number of delayed seed dispersal species (54.3%), whereas salt flats had the lowest (23.9%). In the desert of the UAE, delayed seed dispersal species spread seeds until the end of the dry and windy season, thus breaking seed dormancy at this time and ensuring seed germination in the next arrival of the rainy season. This morphological and ecological adaptation of delayed dispersal species is essential to the survival and sustainable development of vegetation in desert environments.  相似文献

Frequent periods of drought conditions are known to limit plant performance,primary production,and ecosystem stability in arid and semi-arid desert steppe environments.Plants often avoid competition by shifting their water use seasonally,which affects the water-use patterns of dominant species as well as the composition and structure of plant communities.However,the water-use strategies of dominant herbaceous species,which grow under natural field conditions in the desert steppe region of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region,China,are poorly known.Here,we explored the possible sources of water uptake and water-use efficiency(WUE)of three dominant herbaceous plant species(Stipa breviflora,Agropyron mongolicum,and Glycyrrhiza uralensis)in a native desert steppe in the semi-arid area of Ningxia through an analysis of multiple parameters,including(1)the stable isotopic oxygen and hydrogen(δ18O andδ2H)compositions of precipitation,soil water,and stem water,(2)the carbon isotope(13C)composition of leaves,and(3)the soil water contents,based on field sampling across varying water conditions from June to September,2017.Frequent small precipitation events replenished shallow soil water,whereas large events only percolated down to the deep soil layers.Changes in soil water availability affected the water-use patterns of plants.Generally,during light precipitation periods,the deep root system of G.uralensis accessed deeper(>80 cm)soil water,whereas S.breviflora and A.mongolicum,which only have shallow roots,primarily absorbed water from the shallow and middle soil layers.As precipitation increased,all three plant species primarily obtained water from the shallow soil layers.Variation in soil water uptake between the dry and wet seasons enabled plants to make better use of existing satoil water.In addition,theδ13C values of G.uralensis and S.breviflora were higher than those of A.mongolicum.Theδ13C values of the three plant species were significantly negatively correlated with soil water content.Therefore,G.uralensis and S.breviflora maintained a higher WUE through their conservative and water-saving strategies across the entire growing season.In contrast,A.mongolicum,with a relatively low WUE in the wet season but a high WUE in the dry season,exhibited a more flexible water-use strategy.The different water-use strategies of these dominant plant species demonstrated the mechanisms by which plant communities can respond to drought.  相似文献
