不同栽杉代数根际土壤肥力及生物学特性变化

通过对位于南平溪后安曹下和邓窠２９ａ龄１代、２代、３代实生杉木的根际养分、微生物、酶及生化活性的为期２ａ的研究,结果表明：随杉木连栽代数增加,根际微域土壤酸化趋势增强,有机质和全氮沉积量下降,速效性养分亏缺程度减弱,根际土壤中三大类微生物所占的比例发生一定的变化,真菌和放线菌所占比例增加,细菌所占比例减少,生理类群数量下降,除接触酶活性变化不大外,其它土壤酶和生化活性均有明显下降,体现了杉木多代连栽根际土壤的基本特征;亦是杉木连栽导致地力衰退重要原因之一     

Assessing self-organization of plant communities—A thermodynamic approach

Thermodynamics is a powerful tool for the study of system development and has the potential to be applied to studies of ecological complexity. Here, we develop a set of thermodynamic indicators including energy capture and energy dissipation to quantify plant community self-organization. The study ecosystems included a tropical seasonal rainforest, an artificial tropical rainforest, a rubber plantation, and two Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M. King & H. Robinson communities aged 13 years and 1 year. The communities represent a complexity transect from primary vegetation, to transitional community, economic plantation, and fallows and are typical for Xishuangbanna, southwestern China. The indicators of ecosystem self-organization are sensitive to plant community type and seasonality, and demonstrate that the tropical seasonal rainforest is highly self-organized and plays an important role in local environmental stability via the land surface thermal regulation. The rubber plantation is at a very low level of self-organization as quantified by the thermodynamic indicators, especially during the dry season. The expansion of the area of rubber plantation and shrinkage of tropical seasonal rainforest would likely induce local surface warming and a larger daily temperature range.     

Poplar plantation has the potential to alter the water balance in semiarid Inner Mongolia

Poplar plantation is the most dominant broadleaf forest type in northern China. Since the mid-1990s plantation was intensified to combat desertification along China's northwestern border, i.e., within Inner Mongolia (IM). This evoked much concern regarding the ecological and environmental effects on areas that naturally grow grass or shrub vegetation. To highlight potential consequences of large-scale poplar plantations on the water budget within semiarid IM, we compared the growing season water balance (evapotranspiration (ET) and precipitation (PPT)) of a 3-yr old poplar plantation (Kp₃) and a natural shrubland (Ks) in the Kubuqi Desert in western IM, and a 6-yr old poplar plantation (Bp₆) growing under sub-humid climate near Beijing. The results showed that, despite 33% lower PPT at Kp₃, ET was 2% higher at Kp₃ (228 mm) as compared with Ks (223 mm) in May–September 2006. The difference derived mainly from higher ET at the plantation during drier periods of the growing season, which also indicated that the poplars must have partly transpired groundwater. Estimated growing season ET at Bp₆ was about 550 mm and more than 100% higher than at Kp₃. It is estimated that increases in leaf area index and net radiation at Kp₃ provide future potential for the poplars in Kubuqi to exceed the present ET and ET of the natural shrubland by 100–200%. These increases in ET are only possible through the permanent use of groundwater either directly by the trees or through increased irrigation. This may significantly change the water balance in the area (e.g., high ET at the cost of a reduction in the water table), which renders large-scale plantations a questionable tool in sustainable arid-land management.

Using historical ecology to reassess the conservation status of coniferous forests in Central Europe

Forests cover approximately one‐third of Central Europe. Oak (Quercus) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica) are considered the natural dominants at low and middle elevations, respectively. Many coniferous forests (especially of Picea abies) occur primarily at midelevations, but these are thought to have resulted from forestry plantations planted over the past 200 years. Nature conservation and forestry policy seek to promote broadleaved trees over conifers. However, there are discrepancies between conservation guidelines (included in Natura 2000) and historical and palaeoecological data with regard to the distribution of conifers. Our aim was to bring new evidence to the debate on the conservation of conifers versus broadleaved trees at midelevations in Central Europe. We created a vegetation and land‐cover model based on pollen data for a highland area of 11,300 km² in the Czech Republic and assessed tree species composition in the forests before the onset of modern forestry based on 18th‐century archival sources. Conifers dominated the study region throughout the entire Holocene (approximately 40–60% of the area). Broadleaved trees were present in a much smaller area than envisaged by current ideas of natural vegetation. Rather than casting doubt on the principles of Central European nature conservation in general, our results highlight the necessity of detailed regional investigations and the importance of historical data in challenging established notions on the natural distribution of tree species.

Genetic and Environmental Effects Assessment in Scots Pine Provenances Planted in Central Siberia

Scots pine provenance trials were established in 1964 in forest-steppe and in 1974 in southern taiga zones of Central Siberia from seeds collected over whole Russia. Tree-ring characteristics (radial growth and density chronologies) from 12 and 16 provenances planted in those plantations were measured densitometrically. Tree-ring analysis revealed a retention of a genetically fixed response to climatic factors proper to pines' origin. Trees from higher latitudes keep the orientation towards accelerated growth at the beginning of a growing season, which is followed by a rapid transition to formation of latewood cells and deceleration of growth earlier, than in medium-latitude trees. Main climatic factors controlling tree-rings formation differed slightly between different provenances within plantations. Genetically fixed ability of the provenances are not great (less than 15%), that proves high adaptability of pines to abrupt climatic change. Tree-ring formation of Scots pine provenances is mainly determined by the environmental factors.     

人工柳杉林碳蓄积量及土壤性质的动态变化

采用材积源生物量法和土壤剖面分析方法,研究了四川彭州栽植5、10、17、22、26a的人工柳杉林碳蓄积量及土壤性质的动态变化.结果表明,柳杉林分的碳蓄积量与林下土壤有机碳积累量随柳杉林龄的增长而增加,5、10、17、22、26a生人工柳杉林碳蓄积量分别是19.8、67.5、85.8、162、275t(C)hm-2,土壤有机碳含量在5、10、17、22、26年分别为14.7、18.4、25.3、37.1、41.4gkg-1,比农地分别增加了18.5%、48.4%、104%、199%、234%,土壤全N含量分别为1.22、1.31、1.64、2.03、2.12gkg-1,比农地分别增加了7.02%、14.91%、43.86%、78.07%、85.96%,土壤容重分别为1.48、1.42、1.36、1.31、1.28gcm-3,比农地分别降低了3.90%、7.79%、11.7%、14.9%、16.9%,土壤总孔隙度和毛管孔隙度也都显著增高,说明栽植柳杉后随着土壤有机质的增加,土壤肥力逐步提高,土壤孔隙状况也逐渐好转,从而增加了土壤保水抗旱能力.5、10、17、22、26a生的柳杉林地土壤蓄水量分别为341、391、412、462、493thm-2,比农地分别增加了14.8%、31.6%、38.7%、55.6%、66.0%.这些结果显示,人工柳杉林具有庞大的碳库,可缓解大气CO2上升,而且可促进土壤肥力,改善生态环境.     

氮沉降与生物炭对土壤可溶性有机质的影响

利用盆栽实验,探讨氮沉降与生物炭（BC）施用对杉木幼苗土壤可溶性有机碳（DOC）含量和可溶性有机质（DOM）光谱学特征的短期影响.氮沉降处理为0（对照）、40（低氮）和80kgN/（hm²·a）（高氮）,在不同氮沉降下BC施用水平分别为0（对照）、12（低量BC）和36t/hm²（高量BC）.结果表明：相比对照处理,单独低氮与单独高氮处理3个月后土壤pH值分别下降了0.06和0.09（P<0.05）,但单独施用BC和氮沉降背景下施用BC处理的土壤pH值均呈上升趋势,增加了0.32~0.94（P<0.05）.与对照处理相比,单独低氮处理的土壤DOC含量显著降低,单独高氮处理的则显著升高且DOM结构趋于简单;单独施用BC和氮沉降背景下施用BC处理中,低量BC处理的土壤DOC含量无明显变化,但高量BC处理的显著提高了30.1%~95.6%,并且DOM结构趋于复杂.冗余分析发现,土壤pH值是导致不同处理DOM存在差异的关键因素.因此,氮沉降背景下施用高量BC短期内可以减缓土壤酸化,提高土壤DOC含量并使DOM更加稳定.     

抚育对粗枝云杉人工林生长和空间结构的影响

森林抚育是实现人工林科学、高效、可持续经营的基本要求。以甘肃省沙滩国家森林公园云杉（Picea asperata）人工林为研究对象,设置幼龄林和中龄林两个试验区,对5种抚育方式后的林分生长情况和空间结构特征进行6 a连续调查分析。结果表明,封禁（FJ）、卫生伐（WF）、机械疏伐 [隔一伐一（JF1）、隔二伐一（JF2）]、生态疏伐（SF）后,幼龄林林分的平均胸径、单株材积和蓄积6 a生长量均较对照显著增加,平均胸径分别比对照高-0.3、0.2、2.1、4.5、2.3 cm,单株材积6 a生长量分别是对照的1.2、1.1、4.0、7.8、10.2倍,蓄积6 a生长量分别是对照的1.5、1.4、1.8、8.1、10.4倍。中龄林阶段,FJ、WF、JF1、JF2、SF实施6 a后平均胸径分别比对照高0.2、0.3、2.8、2.6、1.6 cm;抚育明显地增加了林分的蓄积量生长量,除JF1为负增长-16.8 m³/hm²外,FJ、WF、JF2、SF分别是对照的2.1、2.6、11.7、18.2倍,且SF最有利于增加林分蓄积。抚育对林木隔离程度作用效果不显著,对林木大小分化程度影响较小,林分平均角尺度值显著减小,左侧频率之和大于右侧接近正态分布,林分空间格局调整为随机分布或均匀分布;抚育对中龄林林分大小比和角尺度的调节作用优于幼龄林。综合分析得出,云杉人工林高效抚育方式为：密度为4 500~4 800株/hm²幼龄林采用SF、JF2均可,经营密度宜为3 200~3 500 株/hm²;密度为1 630~ 2 151株/hm²的中龄林只能采用SF以加快胸径、蓄积生长,留存密度以1 500株/hm²左右为宜。
