立枯物对红松洼自然保护区植物物种多样性的影响

以5a定位试验数据为基础,较全面分析了立枯物对山地草甸植物物种多样性的影响,并从立枯物对生态环境的影响角度探讨其影响机制。研究发现,经过连续10a的围封,立枯物对群落多样性指数、物种丰富度和均匀度指数影响较大。植物多样性和均匀度指数的变化是一致的,1999年达到峰值后下降,群落优势度却随时间的延长而增大。研究证明,立枯物是导致植物多样性和均匀度下降及群落优势度上升的主要原因。从生物多样性保护角度看,围封的管理模式仅限于草地退化后的早期管理,待植被恢复后还应有适宜的扰动,以减少立枯物的积累量。

祁连山北坡亚高山草地退耕还林草混合植被对土壤碳氮磷的影响

土壤有机碳、氮素和磷素是生态系统中极其重要的生态因子,土地利用变化将会引起土壤中碳、氮、磷等元素含量的变化。以祁连山北坡亚高山草地区域内三种利用方式（自由放牧天然草地、开垦20年的燕麦（Avena nuda）耕地、退耕8年的还林草混合植被）的土壤为研究对象,通过采集0~30 cm的土壤,分析土壤的理化性质得到土壤碳、氮、磷的含量,再将其转换为土壤碳、氮、磷储量,分析三种利用方式下土壤碳、氮、磷储量的差异以及影响土壤碳、氮、磷生态化学计量比的因子,旨在探讨退耕还林草工程对该地区土壤养分的影响。结果表明,3个样地的土壤碳、氮、磷储量差异显著（P〈0.05）,天然草地的有机碳、全氮储量（72.17、6.80 t·hm-2）显著高于退耕还林草地的（66.75、4.96 t·hm-2）和燕麦耕地的（36.61、3.61 t·hm-2）。这是因为,其一,比较而言天然草地受干扰小。其二,对于退耕还林草地和燕麦耕地来说,由于刈割获取地上部分,可能使得从土壤中获取的有机碳和氮素大于归还的。全磷储量则表现为燕麦耕地的（2.51 t·hm-2）显著高于天然草地的（2.17 t·hm-2）和退耕还林草地的（1.96 t·hm-2）。这是因为燕麦耕地中化肥的施用使得磷元素富集起来,所以其储量较高。与天然草地相比,耕种20年的燕麦地0-30 cm的有机碳和全氮储量分别低了35.56、3.19 t·hm-2,年平均减少速率分别为1.78、0.16 t·hm-2·a-1。与燕麦耕地相比,退耕8年的还林草地土壤有机碳和全氮储量显著升高了30.14、1.35 t·hm-2,年平均增加速率分别为3.77、0.17 t·hm-2·a-1。退耕8年的还林草地轻组有机碳比例（10.93%）显著高于天然草地（9.72%）和燕麦耕地（8.61%）。土壤含水量、容重和微生物量碳氮是影响土壤碳、氮、磷生态化学计量的重要因子。总结认为,退耕还林草混合植被对土壤碳、氮、磷库具有重要?     

低强度火烧对长白山林区蒙古栎林的影响

为了减少林区内可燃物的载量,降低森林的燃烧性,对蒙古栎林进行了试验火烧和火烧迹地调查,主要研究低强度火烧对蒙古栎林森林生态系统的影响。地表可燃物载量调查采用线状相交可燃物取样调查方法,按不同径级调查可燃物载量。由于火烧引起部分枯死木倒伏和下木层树枝被烧断,火烧后所有试验地上的径级可燃物载量都有所增加。但地表易燃可燃物减少,林分火险降低。试验火烧为低强度地表火,试验结果表明低强度火烧对上层林木的生长没有明显影响,但下层林木的死亡率可达25%～42%。火烧降低了下层林木的密度,改善了林分卫生状况。试验结果表明,在长白山林区蒙古栎林内,可以采用低强度火烧来降低火险。     

论如何加强自然保护区的管理--以新疆奇台荒漠类草地自然保护区为例

随着我国经济的高速发展,经济活动也开始向自然保护区延伸,这就必然导致各种破坏自然保护区的现象不断出现。因此,加强自然保护区依法严格的科学管护,刻不容缓。     

Beehive fences as a multidimensional conflict‐mitigation tool for farmers coexisting with elephants

Increasing habitat fragmentation and human population growth in Africa has resulted in an escalation in human–elephant conflict between small‐scale farmers and free‐ranging African elephants (Loxodonta Africana). In 2012 Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) implemented the national 10‐year Conservation and Management Strategy for the Elephant in Kenya, which includes an action aimed at testing whether beehive fences can be used to mitigate human–elephant conflict. From 2012 to 2015, we field‐tested the efficacy of beehive fences to protect 10 0.4‐ha farms next to Tsavo East National Park from elephants. We hung a series of beehives every 10 m around the boundary of each farm plot. The hives were linked with strong wire. After an initial pilot test with 2 farms, the remaining 8 of 10 beehive fences also contained 2‐dimensional dummy hives between real beehives to help reduce the cost of the fence. Each trial plot had a neighboring control plot of the same size within the same farm. Of the 131 beehives deployed 88% were occupied at least once during the 3.5‐year trial. Two hundred and fifty‐three elephants, predominantly 20–45 years old entered the community farming area, typically during the crop‐ ripening season. Eighty percent of the elephants that approached the trial farms were kept out of the areas protected by the beehive fences, and elephants that broke a fence were in smaller than average groups. Beehive fences not only kept large groups of elephants from invading the farmland plots but the farmers also benefited socially and financially from the sale of 228 kg of elephant‐friendly honey. As news of the success of the trial spread, a further 12 farmers requested to join the project, bringing the number of beehive fence protected farms to 22 and beehives to 297. This demonstrates positive adoption of beehive fences as a community mitigation tool. Understanding the response of elephants to the beehive fences, the seasonality of crop raiding and fence breaking, and the willingness of the community to engage with the mitigation method will help contribute to future management strategies for this high human–elephant conflict hotspot and other similar areas in Kenya.

The perpetual state of emergency that sacrifices protected areas in a changing climate

A modern challenge for conservation biology is to assess the consequences of policies that adhere to assumptions of stationarity (e.g., historic norms) in an era of global environmental change. Such policies may result in unexpected and surprising levels of mitigation given future climate‐change trajectories, especially as agriculture looks to protected areas to buffer against production losses during periods of environmental extremes. We assessed the potential impact of climate‐change scenarios on the rates at which grasslands enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) are authorized for emergency harvesting (i.e., biomass removal) for agricultural use, which can occur when precipitation for the previous 4 months is below 40% of the normal or historical mean precipitation for that 4‐month period. We developed and analyzed scenarios under the condition that policy will continue to operate under assumptions of stationarity, thereby authorizing emergency biomass harvesting solely as a function of precipitation departure from historic norms. Model projections showed the historical likelihood of authorizing emergency biomass harvesting in any given year in the northern Great Plains was 33.28% based on long‐term weather records. Emergency biomass harvesting became the norm (>50% of years) in the scenario that reflected continued increases in emissions and a decrease in growing‐season precipitation, and areas in the Great Plains with higher historical mean annual rainfall were disproportionately affected and were subject to a greater increase in emergency biomass removal. Emergency biomass harvesting decreased only in the scenario with rapid reductions in emissions. Our scenario‐impact analysis indicated that biomass from lands enrolled in the CRP would be used primarily as a buffer for agriculture in an era of climatic change unless policy guidelines are adapted or climate‐change projections significantly depart from the current consensus.     

缙云山不同土地利用方式对土壤团聚体微生物量碳氮的影响

于缙云山阳坡同一海拔高度处选择亚热带常绿阔叶林(简称林地)、撂荒地、坡耕地和果园这4种土地利用方式,在0~60 cm的土壤深度内每隔10 cm采集一个土壤样品,测定大团聚体(2 mm)、中间团聚体(0.25~2 mm)、微团聚体(0.053~0.25 mm)以及粉+黏团聚体(0.053 mm)内的微生物生物量碳(MBC)和微生物生物量氮(MBN)含量,以分析缙云山不同土地利用方式对团聚体MBC及MBN的影响.结果表明4种土地利用方式下,各粒径团聚体MBC及MBN含量均随土壤深度的增加而降低.林地开垦为果园和坡耕地后除导致大团聚体MBC和MBN含量升高外,其它粒径团聚体MBC及MBN含量均降低;坡耕地撂荒后,除粉+黏团聚体MBN含量降低外,其它粒径团聚体MBC及MBN含量均增加.采用等质量方法计算了0~60 cm土壤深度内4种土地利用方式下各粒径土壤团聚体MBC和MBN的储量,发现除粉+黏团聚体外,其他粒径团聚体MBC储量均为林地高于果园和坡耕地,撂荒地各粒径团聚体内的MBC储量均高于坡耕地;MBN储量表现为中间团聚体和微团聚体林地高于果园和坡耕地,而撂荒地除粉+黏团聚体外,其他粒径团聚体均高于坡耕地.总体上,林地和撂荒地团聚体MBC储量高于果园和坡耕地,MBN储量高于坡耕地,果园与林地团聚体MBN储量接近,表明林地的垦殖虽然对果园团聚体MBN影响非常小,但却导致了团聚体MBC以及坡耕地MBN的损失,而坡耕地撂荒则有利于团聚体MBC及MBN的恢复和蓄积.在土地利用转变过程中,土壤团聚体MBC的变化方向和变化量与土壤有机碳并不一致,存在很大的差异,因此,土壤团聚体微生物熵并不适于来评价该地土地利用变化对土壤的影响,采用有机碳总量作为表达土地利用变化的敏感性指标可能更好.
