不同密度侧柏人工林碳储量变化及其机理初探

以徐州侧柏Platycladus orientalis（Linn）Franco人工林为研究对象,运用生物量转化方程及土壤调查数据探讨了1 679、2 250和3 074株.hm-2的3种密度对生态系统碳储量的影响及其机理。结果表明,①乔木层、土壤层和生态系统的碳储量均随林分密度的增加而明显减少,灌草层碳储量在低林分密度最大,而枯落物层碳储量在中林分密度最大。低林分密度生态系统的碳储量是94.11 t.hm-2,分别是中密度和高密度生态系统的碳储量1.19倍和1.28倍,而这种差异主要是由乔木层和土壤层碳储量差异引起的。②林分密度对细根生物量的影响不显著（P〉0.05）,而细根形态随林分密度的增加表现为低级根中1、2级根直径变粗,根长先变长后变短,比根长变短（P〈0.05）;而高级根中的5级根直径显著变细,根长和比根长变长（P〉0.05）。③林分密度对细根生物量的影响与乔木层、土壤层和生态系统碳储量的变化规律具有较高的一致性,均为低密度下最大,高密度下最小。因此,细根生物量可能是导致系统碳储量变化的主要因素之一。     

雅安市谢家山两种密度柳杉人工林群落结构和物种多样性研究

林分密度是影响林分生长、群落结构及生物多样性的重要因素之一,对近自然森林的经营改造、森林生态系统稳定性的维持及林业可持续发展具有重要意义。为研究林分密度对群落结构和物种多样性的影响,并探索维持人工林生态系统的稳定性和促进近自然林业改造的合理林分密度,采用典型样地法,以物种丰富度指数D值、Shannon-wienner指数H值、Simpson优势度指数H′值和均匀度指数Jsw值作为综合衡量群落物种多样性的指标,对比研究了雅安市谢家山两种林分密度(高密度和低密度)对柳杉(Cryptomeria fortunei)人工林群落结构和物种多样性的影响。结果表明:(1)共记录到植物109种,隶属57科95属。高密度群落物种组成为乔木11种,灌木27种,草本41种;低密度群落物种组成为乔木17种,灌木35种,草本35种;(2)从群落结构上看,在高密度下,物种多分布在中径级(胸径11.0~23.0cm)和高高度级(高度15.0~24.0 m);在低密度下,物种多分布在小、中径级(胸径5.0~23.0 cm)和小、中高度级(高度9.0~21.0 m);(3)两种密度下群落的各指数均表现为:草本层灌木层乔木层。物种丰富度指数D值在乔木层和灌木层表现为低密度高密度,在草本层表现为低密度高密度。从Simpson指数H′值、Shannon-Wiener指数H值和均匀度指数值Jsw值分析来看,乔木层这些指数均表现为低密度高密度,而灌木和草本层则与之相反;研究认为低密度(1 250~1 375/(株·hm-2))更利于谢家山地区柳杉人工林多样性的维持及柳杉树种的自然更新。     

大兴安岭南部温带山杨天然次生林不同生长阶段生物量及碳储量

基于内蒙古赛罕乌拉森林生态系统定位研究站山杨（Populus davidiana Dode）天然次生林幼龄林、中龄林、近熟林、成熟林及过熟林生物量调查,探讨了不同龄组山杨天然次生林单株木、林分、林下植被和枯落物的生物量及群落碳储量的时空变化规律。结果表明：随林龄的增大,山杨天然次生林木和各器官生物量总体呈增加趋势,树干所占比例增加,中龄林增加尤为明显;林下植被层、枯落物层生物量随林龄增大呈增加趋势。群落总碳储量的空间分布序列是：乔木层〉枯落物层〉林下植被层。幼龄林、中龄林、近熟林、成熟林和过熟林群落的碳储量分别为27.146 6、53.545 1、60.889 8、77.915 8、79.135 3t.hm-2,乔木层碳储量分别为22.206 5、47.215 7、52.056 3、68.445 3、68.773 1 t.hm-2,枯落物层和林下植被层碳储量平均值分别为5.814 4、2.172 7 t.hm-2。乔木层、枯落物层和林下植被层碳储量占总量的平均率分别为86.05%、10.39%和3.57%。研究认为山杨天然次生林群落碳储量随林龄增加的变化规律明显,碳汇潜力巨大;中龄林为碳储量增长迅速期,且持续较长一段时间,是林分管理的关键阶段;自然稀疏有利于促进林木生长,林分碳储量并未随林分密度下降而减小。     

细叶桉造林密度试验初报

在细叶桉造林试验中，设计了7种密度，结果表明，在造林的当年，高密度林分能较早形成林分环境，有利于早期生长，而后来其个体间较早开始进行营养空间的竞争，部分个体生长受到抑制。随着时间的推移，高密度林分不利于冠径的发展。相应地低密度林分呈现出径生长较快的趋势，并且这种趋势随着树木长大而愈来愈明显。单株材积随密度的变化趋势与径的变化规律相一致。林分的蓄积量更大程度地受株数的作用，密度越大，蓄积量越大。建议细叶桉小径材和纸浆材的造林密度为2500株／hm^2。

通过对玉米田杂草的调查,研究了不同密度和品种对玉米田杂草种类和生物量变化及玉米产量的影响。结果表明:在玉米全生育期内共发现以稗草(Echinochloa colonum(Linn.)Link)、水花生(Alternanthera philoxeroides)、水芹(Lepidiumsativum)等为主的21种杂草,以水芹的重要值最高;随密度的增加杂草的总数量和鲜质量减少;半紧凑型品种对杂草数量和生物量的抑制作用大于紧凑型品种,且产量高出了21.99%。密度对玉米产量的影响差异不显著,以B3(57 000株/hm2)产量最高,比常规密度B1(42 000株/hm2)和高密度B4(64 500株/hm2)的产量提高了14.17%和0.6%。可见,应根据玉米的品种类型,因地制宜地确定适宜的种植密度,以利于高产稳产。     

西北典型荒漠植物红砂生物量及根系形态特征对降水格局的响应

红砂(Corispermum candelabrum)是一种广泛分布于荒漠生态系统中的典型沙生植物。以红砂为研究对象,利用塑料遮雨棚,人工模拟不同降水格局(降水量不变,W;降水减少30%,W1-;降水减少60%;W2-;降水增加30%;W1+;降水增加60%,W2+),研究红砂生物量及根系形态的变化特征。结果表明,(1)红砂地上和地下生物量均表现为:降水增加CK降水减少,其中地上生物量差异达显著(P0.05)。对于降水增加处理,红砂不同器官生物量大致表现为茎叶花;对于降水减少处理,不同器官生物量大致表现为叶茎花。不同降水处理下根冠比差异均不显著(P0.05)。(2)不同土层根重和根长密度基本表现为降水增加对照降水减少;根重和根长密度均随着土层深度的增加而逐渐减小,在40～50cm土层根重和根长密度较低。(3)降水对红砂根系形态特征具有显著的影响,其中降水增加(W1+、W2+)增加了根平均直径、根总长、总表面积、比根长;降水减少(W1-、W2-)降低了根平均直径、根总长、总表面积、比根长。比根长和比表面积则呈现出相反的变化趋势。(4)随着降水的增加,根系分形维数逐渐增加,其中降水增加显著增加了根系分形维数(P0.05),降水减少显著降低了根系分形维数(P0.05);根系丰度呈相反的变化趋势,并且红砂根系分形维数和分形丰度间均存在极显著负相关关系(P0.01)。(5)红砂根系形态特征排序分析表明,降水增加根系形态特征主要分布在排序轴的左侧,具有较高的生物量以及较低的比根长和比表面积;而降水减少位于排序轴的右侧具有相反的特征,其形态特征与比根长和比表面积具有较强的负相关,说明红砂根系具有较强的形态可塑性。

密度和品种对玉米田杂草及玉米产量的影响

通过对玉米田杂草的调查,研究了不同密度和品种对玉米田杂草种类和生物量变化及玉米产量的影响。结果表明：在玉米全生育期内共发现以稗草（Echinochloa colonum（Linn.）Link）、水花生（Alternanthera philoxeroides）、水芹（Lepidiumsativum）等为主的21种杂草,以水芹的重要值最高;随密度的增加杂草的总数量和鲜质量减少;半紧凑型品种对杂草数量和生物量的抑制作用大于紧凑型品种,且产量高出了21.99%。密度对玉米产量的影响差异不显著,以B3（57 000株/hm2）产量最高,比常规密度B1（42 000株/hm2）和高密度B4（64 500株/hm2）的产量提高了14.17%和0.6%。可见,应根据玉米的品种类型,因地制宜地确定适宜的种植密度,以利于高产稳产。     

春玉米种植密度对土壤有机碳组分的影响

通过西辽河灌区连续3 a的田间试验,研究春玉米不同种植密度（60 000、75 000和90 000株·hm-2）下土壤有机碳组分的质量分数及空间分布特征,阐明了春玉米种植密度对不同层次土壤有机碳组分的影响机制。结果表明：高、低密度均增加土壤0～40 cm土层有机碳质量分数,中密度下促进土壤微生物生物量碳增加。随着种植密度的加大土壤中活性有机碳增加,轻组有机碳减少。玉米生长主要促进10～20 cm土层有机碳的耗损,高密度下促进犁底层（20～40 cm）土壤有机碳质量分数及其活性,使其轻组有机碳减少,微生物生物量碳增加。低密度下主要增加表层（0～10 cm）土壤有机碳质量分数。种植密度通过影响根系群体生物量及其分布,调节土壤微生物活性、残落物碳输入影响土壤有机碳组分。适当的增加春玉米种植密度有利于春玉米农田高产固碳。     

Mathematical analysis of change in forest carbon use efficiency with stand development: A case study on Abies veitchii Lindl.

Changes in carbon use efficiency (CUE), which is defined as the ratio of net primary production (NPP) to gross primary production (GPP), were analyzed for Abies veitchii Lindl. forests with respect to stand development by developing a simple mathematical model incorporating data on physiological variables and leaf mass ratio. A decrease in CUE with stand development was successfully expressed as a function of stand biomass (y) based on the following three assumptions: (1) a power-law relationship between mean respiration and mean individual tree mass, (2) a power-functional relationship between mean gross primary production and mean individual tree mass, and (3) self-thinning relationship between stand biomass and density. Based on this model, a parameter of CUE–y relationship was defined, and it was clarified that CUE decrease with stand development is caused not by the ratio of specific respiration rate to specific gross photosynthetic rate, but by leaf mass ratio. Since CUE is high in young forests, helpful information on selecting woody species when planting seedlings was provided from the viewpoints of reducing CO₂ in the atmosphere and global warming.     

Phosphorus limitation ofCymodocea nodosa growth

Experimental nutrient (N, P, and N+P) additions to shallow (ca. 1 m)Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Aschers. stands growing in patches and in a continuous meadow in a Mediterranean Bay (Alfacs Bay, NE Spain) in 1988 demonstrated mid-summer growth to be strongly P-limited, as suggested by the high N:P ratios (>35) in unmanipulated plants. P additions resulted in increased leaf P content, reduced N:P ratios, and enhanced shoot growth and turnover in both populations. These effects promoted in turn a stand response, leading to increased biomass and, therefore, increased areal productivity in the plots receiving P. The stand response was largely attributable to a doubling of shoot density, indicating enhanced rhizome growth and branching.     

Effects of Harvesting on Genetic Diversity in Old-Growth Eastern White Pine in Ontario, Canada

Genetic diversity measures at 54 isozyme loci coding for 16 enzymes in megagametophytes were compared between preharvest and postharvest gene pools of two adjacent virgin, old-growth (∼250 years) stands of eastern white pine ( Pinus strobus L.) in the Galloway Lake Old Pine Area of central Ontario. The concurrence of genetic diversity changes between the stands suggests that real and repeatable genetic erosion occurred in these gene pools as a result of harvesting. The total and mean number of alleles detected in each stand were reduced by approximately 25% after tree density reductions of 75%. The percentage of polymorphic loci dropped by about 33% from preharvest levels. About 40% of the low frequency (0.25> p ≥ 0.01) alleles and 80% of the rare ( p < 0.01) alleles were lost from each stand because of harvesting. Hypothetical multilocus gametic diversity was reduced by about 40% in each stand after harvesting. Latent genetic potential of each stand was reduced by about 50%, suggesting that the ability of these gene pools to adapt to changing environmental conditions may have been compromised. Heterozygosity estimates in the postharvest stands did not reflect reductions in allelic richness due to harvesting. Observed heterozygosity increased by 12% in one stand after harvesting, even though other genetic diversity measures decreased. Gene frequency changes due to harvesting imply that gene pools of naturally regenerated progeny stands may be quite different from the original parental stands. Silvicultural practices should ensure that the gene pools of remaining pristine old-growth stands have been reconstituted in the regenerating stands.     

Modelling succession of Eastern Canadian mixedwood forest

The succession of a mixed species stand of the Acadian Forest was simulated by adopting an approach taken by Botkin et al. (1972) (JABOWA) and later modified by Shugart and West (1977) (FORET). The model simulates the dynamic aspects of successional behaviour of the stand by projecting the current stage of vegetation composition (size of each individual of each species present on a 1/12 ha plot) with an element of randomness. The growth of each tree is modeled as a function of its size (represented by its diameter at breast height (dbh), height and leaf area index), the climate, the tree's tolerance to shade and the competition for available resources and space. Stand aboveground biomass (metric ton/ha), leaf area index, number of trees/ha and species composition of the stand were simulated under seven different conditions: (a) normal treatment, (b) increasing biomass maximum 30%, (c) decreasing biomass maximum 30%, (d) increasing degree-days 30%, (e) decreasing degree-days 30%, (f) increasing light extinction coefficient 30% and (g) decreasing light extinction coefficient 30%. Under the first set of conditions (normal treatment), the aboveground biomass reached a maximum value during the first hundred years, decreased during the second, and remained stable for the rest of the 500-year simulation period. The leaf area showed a similar pattern. The total number of trees/ha decreased sharply during the first fifty years and reached a stable value by the end of the first hundred years. Successional patterns and species competitive abilities were interpreted from the accumulated biomass of each species over the simulation period under the different treatments.Species composition of the stand under the normal treatment showed dominance of deciduous species at early stages of succession, with conifer species being increased and becoming dominant at the end of the simulation period. When the climate was raised 30% (warmer) over the average, the deciduous species continued their dominance over the course of the simulation period. Other simulated species dynamics also appeared to follow what is known about their successional behaviour in the field.
