林隙微生境及更新研究进展

系统评述了国内外关于林隙干扰及更新的最新研究进展.林隙是一种经常发生的小规模干扰,是森林群落时空格局变化的驱动力.不同的林隙干扰状况导致了林隙内光照的差异,进一步造成林隙内温度、湿度、土壤理化性质的变化,形成了微生境的时空异质性.林隙干扰通过改变微生境而对幼苗的出土、存活、定居和生长产生重要影响.林隙内种子库的物种丰富度变化很大,是幼苗分布格局的重要影响因子.更新幼苗的存活率和生长量受林隙大小及幼苗在林隙中位置的影响.指出了这一领域今后的研究方向.     

中度火干扰对白桦落叶松混交林土壤理化性质的影响

应用空间代替时间的方法对大兴安岭林区白桦落叶松混交林1982-2007年的中度火烧迹地土壤理化性质变化进行研究.结果表明:火后土壤密度增加,土壤孔隙度和土壤含水率降低,但是变化幅度将随着时间的推移逐渐缩小,并在火烧后第20年将接近火烧前水平;火烧后A层和B层土壤有机质均呈降低趋势,A层的降幅逐渐缩小直到火烧后20年比火烧前水平大幅增加;火后土壤A层和B层全磷含量均呈增加趋势,土壤全氮在A层基本也呈增加趋势,B层随火后时间呈波动变化,无明显规律;土壤有效磷含量变化星先降低后增加的趋势;A层土壤速效钾含量的变化基本呈增加趋势,但随时间增加幅度减小,而B层的变化无规律;A层土壤水解氮含量变化呈增加趋势,而B层的变化则与速效钾在B层的变化相似,无明显规律.此研究旨在找出火烧后随时间的推移土壤理化性质的动态变化规律,为火烧迹地的改造和生态恢复提供科学依据.

稻鸭共作中CH4和N2O排放规律及影响因素

稻鸭共作是目前稻田种养中的一种典型模式,其主要特点是利用鸭子在稻田内的活动,实现经济效益和生态效益的双赢。鸭子的存在丰富了生物多样性,充分利用了稻田生态位。鸭子的持续运动、觅食、排泄等活动会影响稻田温室气体甲烷(CH_4)和氧化亚氮(N_2O)的排放和全球增温潜势(GWP)。本文结合稻鸭共作中鸭子对稻田环境的扰动行为,从水体、土壤、CH_4和N_2O转化功能菌及种植技术等角度,总结探讨了稻鸭共作中温室气体CH_4和N_2O产生、输送和释放的过程与机理。针对当前稻鸭共作温室气体排放研究中存在的问题,提出了一系列建议和展望,以期为稻田种养温室气体减排的研究提供参考。     

日本冲绳岛琉球松林台风干扰后的群落特点

为阐述亚热带地区琉球松林受到干扰后的演替规律,就日本冲绳地区琉球松人工林在强台风干扰后,林分结构和树种组成特点进行了调查分析。结果表明,琉球松林经台风干扰后演替形成两种群落类型,即琉球松-峨嵋木荷群落和琉球松-峨嵋木荷-蕨类群落;两者在林分结构和树种组成特点方面差异明显。琉球松-峨嵋木荷群落中,出现乔灌树种26种(DBH≥3．0cm),树种多样性指数为2．55,林下植被特别是草本层盖度低,没有蕨类植物分布。而琉球松-峨嵋木荷-蕨类群落中,出现乔灌树种33种,树种多样性指数为3．51,林下植被特别是草本层发育较好,并有大量蕨类植物分布,其盖度达55％。此外,经受干扰的琉球松林出现了大量的较耐荫的常绿阔叶树种,尤其是山茶科和樟科的树种,而没有出现本地天然常绿阔叶林的优势树种壳斗科的栲类(Castanopsis spp.)。充分说明强台风干扰促进了琉球松林向常绿阔叶林演替。     

采伐干扰下次生林灌木层主要树种的生态位动态

为探讨采伐干扰下的灌木层主要树种的生态适应性,用Levins、Schoener和Pianka等生态位测度公式定量分析闽北天然次生林采伐后灌木层主要树种生态位动态。结果表明:样地中黄绒润楠和刺毛杜鹃的生态位最大,属优势树种;甜槠、石栎和映山红为衰退树种,在林分生产作业中需加以保护。采伐干扰促进了灌木层主要树种的生态位释放,各树种的生态位宽度在伐后10~15 a达到峰值,随后下降,伐后20 a接近于未采伐林的生态位;各树种弱度和中度择伐的生态位宽度值约占其生态位宽度总值的50%。生态位重叠值在伐后10 a最大,随后下降,到伐后20 a趋于稳定状态。因此灌木层主要树种生态位的最优期为伐后10~15 a,最佳采伐干扰强度为弱度和中度择伐。

Electrotrawling: a promising alternative fishing technique warranting further exploration

In trawl fisheries, beam trawls with tickler chains, chain mats or bobbin ropes are used to target flatfish or shrimp. High fuel consumption, seabed disturbance and high discard rates are well‐known disadvantages of this fishing technique. These shortcomings are increasingly gaining international public and political attention, especially with the upcoming discard ban in Europe. The most promising alternative fishing technique meeting both the fisherman's aspirations, and the need for ecological progress is pulse fishing with electrotrawls. Here, the mechanical stimulation by tickler chains or bobbins is replaced by electrical stimulation resulting in reduced bottom contact, fuel costs and discards. Although a significant amount of research has been done on electrotrawls and their impact on marine organisms, most data were published in very diverse sources ranging from local non‐peer‐reviewed reports with a limited distribution to highly consulted international peer‐reviewed journals. Therefore, there is a clear need for a comprehensive yet concise and critical overview, covering and summarizing all these data and making these available for the scientific community. This article aims to meet the above goals by discussing the working principle of electric fields, the history of electrotrawls and their current application in the North Sea and impact on marine organisms. It is concluded by elaborating on the opportunities and challenges for the further implementation of this alternative fishing technique.     

Floristic diversity and vegetation patterns along disturbance gradient in arid coasts in southern Mediterranean: Case of the Gulf of Gabès,southern Tunisia

Knowledge about vegetation patterns along disturbance gradients is essential for conservation and management of coastal habitats in arid regions. This study focuses on the floristic diversity and the factors controlling the vegetation structure in the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia). For this purpose, the floristic diversity of 120 relevés belonging to three coastal sites with different disturbance levels (40 relevés per site) was analyzed in relation with 10 environmental and anthropogenic factors. Therophytes constitute 54% of the 237 plants species belonging to 44 families identified in the present study. The species richness and floristic diversity indices exhibited a similar trend and peaked in the slightly disturbed site (H′?=?3.38; S?=?176). The similarity between sites was relatively low and reached its maximum between the little and the highly disturbed sites. Two-way indicator species analysis and detrended correspondence analysis applied on the floristic data resulted in groups mainly determined by disturbance level by explicitly segregating the three sites. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that the spatial pattern of species composition was mainly influenced by anthropogenic variables. Partial CCA revealed that the effect of anthropogenic variables on floristic composition was thrice higher than the effect of environmental variables (57.5% vs. 18.4%, respectively). Overall, this study provides a broad understanding of the floristic diversity and vascular plant richness in the Gulf of Gabès. The obtained results reflected a disturbance–diversity pattern and thus revealed the obvious importance of maintaining the intermediate disturbance for biodiversity conservation and monitoring.
