英国多克隐花植物保护区森林土壤和凋落叶特性及其与真菌的关系(英文)

报道了英国独特的真菌保护区里真菌的生态学和生物多样性,而该保护区内有关物种构成的数据自1994年就开始进行收集了。关于真菌的生态学相互关系以及它们在总的生态系统功能中的作用可以作为生物多样性数据的补充。5~8月期间,在8块覆盖着不同植被（山毛榉,桦树,桦栎山毛榉,禾本科植物）实验区里,研究了森林凋落叶和叶本层土壤的特性和构成,测量了细菌种群数量和真菌的生物量（针对麦角固醇而言）。用相关分析和分段回归建模方法,结合可通过并行研究采集到的原生动物和线虫数据,得到了一系列结果。这些结果强调了某些因素的复杂性,这些因素影响着森林土壤和森林凋落叶中真菌生物量空间可变性的时间动态。大多数的相互作用看起来是瞬时的,在解释环境观测记录时应该对这一点给予充分考虑。最后,解释了若干具体关系,给出了进一步研究的方向,讨论了对整个生态系统功能研究的必要性。

Soil Nitrogen Availability Is Reflected in the Bacterial Pathway

Measurements of concentrations of easily extractable soil nitrogen(N) were carried out on samples collected at the Heron Wood Reserve,Scotland,concurrently with investigations of N associated with total microbial biomass and the abundances of bacteria,fungi,and invertebrates.Soil biota at the studied site appeared to be limited by N.There was a remarkable difference between the ambient(i.e.,easily extractable N) and biomass nitrogen.The abundance data of bacteria,protozoa and nematodes significantly negatively correlated with ambient N but showed positive correlations with the total microbial N content.There were,however,remarkable differences between the correlation patterns exhibited by the fungal and the bacterial pathways,as fungi did not show any correlations with chemical variables.These differences should be taken into account whilst interpreting biological interactions both at this important site and elsewhere.
