中昆仑山北坡策勒河流域生态因素对植物群落的影响

为探讨干旱区山地生境对植被格局的影响,以中昆仑山北坡策勒河流域为研究对象,在对海拔1960~4100m范围内63块样方进行植被学调查的基础上,采用18个环境指标描述群落的空间位置、地形和土壤特征。利用双向指示种分析、无偏对应分析和无偏典范对应分析,从植物种、群落与环境的生态关系方面探讨研究区的植被分布格局,并给予合理的环境解释。为消除环境因子中存在的冗余变量,采用前向选择法及MonteCarlo检验,筛选出对植物群落产生显著影响(P<0.05)的环境因子参加分析。结果表明,1)采用TWINSAN数量分类方法,将植被划分为4个群落类型;2)对于特定的研究区域策勒河流域,制约群落类型、植物种分布格局的主要因素是海拔,即水、热2个环境因子,同时物种丰富度随着海拔增加呈单调递增趋势;3)对群落产生显著影响的环境因子主要有海拔、pH等6个变量。DCCA排序图明显反映出排序轴的生态意义,第1轴突出反应了群落所在环境的海拔,沿第1轴从左到右海拔逐渐升高,各群落也沿着海拔依次分布。相比于其他区域,干旱区山地物种稀少,植被格局分异明显,其中海拔是环境因子中对植被群落分布起决定性作用的因子,利用数量生态学方法可以有效的揭示其植被群落同环境之间的关系。

Effect of ecological factors on plant communities of the Cele River Basin on the north slope of the middle Kunlun mountains

This research explored the relationships between environmental factors and vegetation patterns in the arid mountain ranges.The Cele River Basin on the north slope of the middle Kunlun mountains was selected as the study area to set up 63 plots at altitudes ranging from 1 960 to 4 100 m.Eighteen variables were used as indicators of spatial position,soil characteristics,and topography.The types of plant community in this region were investigated in relation to environmental factors using TWINSPAN,DCA and DCCA...
