Relationship between structure and aboveground biomass of typical steppe and climate in Inner Mongolia

Typical steppe in Inner Mongolia belongs to a part of Central Asia sub-region in Eurasian temperate steppe region. In climate distinct wet and dry season, coherence of water and heat result in single peak type of seasonal dynamic of steppe biomass. Community biomass has linear regressional equation with community height, its correlation coefficient (R) is 0.959***. Growth rate of biomass in June, July and August is usually at 1.5-3.0 g/m2. d-1. Community standing dead occurs in June and equates green living biomass by mid-September. Community biomass is only standing dead biomass in the mid-October. Biomass, green production and standing dead have linear regressional relation with days of plant growing, their correlation coefficient (R) are 0.9919***, 0.9878*** and 0.9923***, respectively. Yearly dynamic of typical steppe biomass is variable, the maximum value is 2.4 times as much as the minimum. The peak biomass of Stipa grandis steppe was 87g/m2 in dry 1980 and 210g/m2 in rainy 1981, and their height     

Variations of plant life form diversity along the Northeast China Transect and its direct gradient analysis

Plant life form diversity and its direct gradient analysis on a larger scale climate change gradient were tested, based on the data from Northeast China Transect platform. The results showed that the species numbers, life form richness and life form diversity were relative higher at the eastern forests and the ecotone between typical vegetation, while those on the meadow grasslands and typical steppes were lower.Although plant life forms can reflect the climate variations, life form diversity is not consistent with the major global gradient along the NECT.     

草原不同沙化地段蝗虫与植物群落多样性的变化及相互关系的数值分析

通过对植物和蝗虫种群生物量的调查，研究了宁夏盐池县干草原沙化过程中植物和蝗虫群落结构、多样性与丰富度的变化，以及其相互关系．结果表明，植物和蝗虫群落随着草地的沙化程度表现出序列性演替过程，蝗虫群落多样性直接受植物群密结构变化的影响，但二者的变化趋势并不完全平行．草地沙化对蝗虫群落多样性和丰富度是一种灾变性影响：沙化导致植被结构与土壤硬度的变化，造成蝗虫产卵地条件的改变．     

锡林河流域生态系统服务价值变化研究

论文采用Costanza等人的生态系统服务评价方法对锡林河流域生态系统服务功能价值变化进行研究,结果表明,在1987～2000年的13年间,锡林河流域各类生态系统每年提供的服务总价值下降了31.6%,其中,草原生态系统服务价值从5.13×10⁸美元降至4.38×10⁸美元,下降13.3%;湿地生态系统服务的总价值由2.62×10⁸美元下降为0.9×10⁸美元,下降了65.1%;而农田生态系统服务价值由0.01×10⁸美元上升到0.03×10⁸美元,增加了200%。在草原生态系统服务功能总价值中,绣线菊草原、贝加尔针茅草原、羊草杂草类草原和羊草丛生禾草草原等优质草原所占的比重在逐渐减小,克氏针茅草原、冷蒿草原等退化类型所占的比重在逐渐增加,说明锡林河流域草原生态系统退化严重。该流域生态系统服务功能价值的下降与生态系统的退化和面积的减小有关。     

利用马尔柯夫过程预测锡林河流域草原退化格局的变化

以我国北方典型草原模式地段之一的锡林河流域草原为研究对象,根据研究区两个时期遥感影像解译的植被类型图衍生出草原植被退化图。在对草原退化图统一网格化后,计算各网格草原退化指数,并加以分级,确定不同草原退化等级之间转移概率,并应用马尔柯夫模型预测锡林河流域草原退化格局的演变趋势。结果表明:如果不采取防止草地退化的根本性措施,草原退化态势还将继续下去。以每个网格草原退化指数值为各网格草原退化状况划分依据,以3km×3km网格为统计单元,在流域总面积为10701km₂情况下,预测结果是:2005年,锡林河流域草原退化为3级的网格总面积是3776km₂,占流域总面积的35.29%;4、5级网格面积之和为5427km₂,达到流域总面积的50.71%。2025年,锡林河流域草原退化为3级的网格面积总和是3389km₂,占流域总面积的31.67%;4、5级网格面积之和为6406km₂,达到流域总面积的59.86%。     

短期放牧对半干旱草地生态系统CO2和N2O排放的影响

通过在北方农牧带半干旱草地生态系统(山西右玉)设置不放牧、轻度放牧、中度放牧和重度放牧4个不同强度的放牧实验,运用静态-暗箱法测定放牧第一年生长季的温室气体通量,研究不同放牧强度对该地区温室气体通量的影响.结果表明:(1) CO_2和N_2O在生长季表现出随着温度和水分变化的明显季节动态变化,但是与不放牧相比,第一年不同放牧强度对CO_2和N_2O排放速率没有显著影响;(2)放牧显著降低了土壤含水量(P 0. 05),中度放牧降低了土壤微生物生物量碳(MBC,P 0. 05),中度和重度放牧降低了土壤微生物生物量氮(MBN,P 0. 05);(3) CO_2排放速率和土壤温度、土壤水分之间呈显著正相关关系,土壤温度、可溶性氮、微生物生物量氮以及CO_2排放速率之间呈显著正相关关系.放牧增加了温度与CO_2排放的相关性,但对N_2O排放相反.(4)虽然放牧降低了土壤含水量,但是没有发现不同放牧强度间CO_2和N_2O排放的差异,说明短期内不同的放牧强度尚未对土壤微生物结构与功能造成显著影响,需要继续进行长期深入地研究,揭示放牧强度对温室气体通量的影响机制.     

Managed grassland alters soil N dynamics and N2O emissions in temperate steppe

Reclamation of degraded grasslands as managed grasslands has been increasingly accelerated in recent years in China. Land use change affects soil nitrogen(N) dynamics and nitrous oxide(N_2O) emissions. However, it remains unclear how large-scale grassland reclamation will impact the grassland ecosystem as a whole. Here, we investigated the effects of the conversion from native to managed grasslands on soil N dynamics and N_2O emissions by field experiments in Hulunber in northern China. Soil(0–10 cm), nitrate(NO_3~-),ammonium(NH_4~+), and microbial N were measured in plots in a temperate steppe(Leymus chinensis grassland) and two managed grasslands(Medicago sativa and Bromus inermis grasslands) in 2011 and 2012. The results showed conversion of L. chinensis grassland to M.sativa or B. inermis grasslands decreased concentrations of NO_3~–-N, but did not change NH_4~–N . Soil microbial N was slightly decreased by the conversion of L. chinensis grassland to M.sativa, but increased by the conversion to B. inermis. The conversion of L. chinensis grassland to M. sativa(i.e., a legume grass) increased N_2O emissions by 26.2%, while the conversion to the B. inermis(i.e., a non-legume grass) reduced N_2O emissions by 33.1%. The conversion from native to managed grasslands caused large created variations in soil NO?3~-+–N and NH_4~–N concentrations. Net N mineralization rates did not change significantly in growing season or vegetation type, but to net nitrification rate. These results provide evidence on how reclamation may impact the grassland ecosystem in terms of N dynamics and N_2O emissions.
