再论现代森林防火——对现代森林防火特征的讨论

目前,我国林业正处于由传统林业向现代林业跨越的进程中,这就要求森林防火事业也必须跟上现代林业建设的步伐,由传统森林防火进入现代森林防火。现代森林防火与传统森林防火不但具有时限上的差异,更主要的是存在着内在质的不同。这些内在质的不同,表现在进行森林防火的目的、组织管理体制、战略对策以及指挥行为等方面的特征上。本文依据现代林业和现代森林防火的内涵与我国林业的“五大转变”,对现代森林防火的特征,做一些尝试性的探讨。

Possible emissions of N_2O from plants in coniferous-deciduous mixed forests

Aboveground vertical profiles of N2O concentrations were measured with in two natural coniferous-deciduous mixed forests of 1998 and 1999 in Changbai M ountain. Significant high N2O concentrations were found in six profiles out of t welve profiles. The results showed that high concentrations were 3.03% to 64.9% higher than the "normal concentrations" in these six profiles. Differences betwe en the high concentrations and the "normal concentrations" were statistically si gnificant. The simultaneous occurrence of high concentrations at/nearby the cano py height and normal concentrations at the trunk space height indicated an efflu x of N2O from foliage to atmosphere. This study afforded evidence supporting tha t plant per se, besides forest soil, was an important source of atmospheric N2O in a forest ecosystem.

云南引种多年生植物的发展与利用

回顾了从外省和国外引入云南的经济植物,说明由于云南特殊的地理、气候及生物多样性对不同引种植物造成不同的试种结果、发展状况及出现的问题。从而指出在云南高生物多样性森林生态系统条件下,引入外地经济植物种植的有效利用是树种或品种(品系)与当地多样性的适合性配置;可持续发展的种植方式是植物种或品种(品系)的单位种植面积不宜过大,以多种块状混交为宜;减小风险的方式是经10～12年以上的多点种植考验和控制单一种种植比例;发展当地树种风险小,但要保护好当地的生物多样性。

Ecological control of forest pest： a new strategy for forest pest control

In comparison with integrated pest management and chemical control, the authors put forward a new strategy of forest pest control, named ecological control of forest pest （ECFP）.

Carbon Dynamics in Woody Biomass of Forest Ecosystem in China with Forest Management Practices under Future Climate Change and Rising CO_2 Concentration

It is critical to study how different forest management practices affect forest carbon sequestration under global climate change regime. Previous researches focused on the stand-level forest carbon sequestration with rare investigation of forest carbon stocks influ- enced by forest management practices and climate change at regional scale. In this study, a general integrative approach was used to simulate spatial and temporal variations of woody biomass and harvested biomass of forest in China during the 21st century under dif- ferent scenarios of climate and CO2 concentration changes and management tasks by coupling Integrated Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon budget （InTEC） model with Global Forest Model （G4M）. The results showed that forest management practices have more predominant effects on forest stem stocking biomass than climate and CO2 concentration change. Meanwhile, the concurrent future changes in cli- mate and CO2 concentration will enhance the amounts of stem stocking biomass in forests of China by 12%-23% during 2001-2100 relative to that with climate change only. The task for maximizing stem stocking biomass will dramatically enhance the stem stocking biomass from 2001~100, while the task for maximum average increment will result in an increment of stem stocking biomass before 2050 then decline. The difference of woody biomass responding to forest management tasks was owing to the current age structure of forests in China. Meanwhile, the sensitivity of long-term woody biomass to management practices for different forest types （coniferous forest, mixed forest and deciduous forest） under changing climate and CO2 concentration was also analyzed. In addition, longer rotation length under future climate change and rising CO2 concentration scenario will dramatically increase the woody biomass of China during 2001~100. Therefore, our estimation indicated that taking the role of forest management in the carbon cycle into the consideration at regional or national level is very important to project the forest carbon sequestration under future climate change and rising atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Effects of experimental warming on soil microbial communities in two contrasting subalpine forest ecosystems,eastern Tibetan Plateau,China

Soil microbial communities are primarily regulated by environmental temperature. Our study investigated the effects of global warming on soil microbial community composition as measured via phospholipid fatty acid （PLFA） analysis and soil chemical characteristics in relation to soil depth in a dragon spruce plantation and a spruce-fir-dominated natural forestin the Eastern Tibetan Plateau. Opentop chambers were utilized to increase the soil and air temperature. Soil samples were collected from the o-10 cm, 10-20cm, and 20-30 cm layers after a 4-year warming. Our results showed that the soil microbial community and the contents of TC （Total carbon）, TN （Total nitrogen）. NO3-. and NH4＋ responded differently to warming in the two contrasting forests, especially at the 0-10 cm soil depth. Warming increased soil microbial biomass at the 0-20 cm depth of soil in natural forest but reduced it at the o-lo cm depth ofsoil in the plantation. In contrast, the TC and TN contents were reduced in most soil layers of a natural forest but increased in all of the soil layers of the plantation under warming conditions. This result suggested that the effects of warming on soil microbial community and soil C and N pools would differ according to soil depth and forest types; thus, the two contrasting forests would under go differing changes following the future climate warming in this region.

Characterization of Some Typical Soils of the Miombo Woodland Ecosystem of Kitonga Forest Reserve, Iringa, Tanzania： Physico-Chemical Properties and Classification

Despite the fact that miombo woodland soils have significant implications in global climate change processes, few studies have been done to characterize and classify the soils of the miombo woodland ecosystem of Tanzania. The current study was carried out to map and classify soils of Kitonga Forest Reserve, which is a typical miombo woodland ecosystem, in order to generate relevant information for their use and management. A representative study area of 52 km2 was selected and mapped at a scale of 1：50,000 on the basis of relief. Ten representative soil profiles were excavated and described using standard methods. Soil samples were taken from genetic soil horizons and analyzed in the laboratory for physico-chemical characteristics using standard methods. Using field and laboratory analytical data, the soils were classified according to the FAO-World Reference Base （FAO-WRB） for Soil Resources system as Cambisols, Leptosols and Fluvisols. In the USDA-NRCS Soil Taxonomy system the soils were classified as Inceptisols and Entisols. Topographical features played an important role in soil formation. The different soil types differed in physico-chemical properties, hence exhibit differences in their potentials, constraints and need specific management strategies. Texture varied from sandy to different loams; pH from 5.1 to 5.9; organic carbon from 0.9 g/kg to 20 g/kg; and CEC from 3 cmol/（＋）kg to 24 cmol/（＋）kg. Sustainable management of miombo woodlands ecosystem soils requires reduced deforestation and reduced land degradation.

Studies on Material Cycling in Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest Ecosystem in Hangzhou: Ⅱ . Dynamics and Decomposition Characteristics of Litter

Through the long-term plot study on the litter and its decomposition in the evergreen broad-leaved forest ecosystem in Hangzhou for more than two years,it was resulted that the annual litter production was 5.85 t ha^-1,most of which was the fallen leave (79.5 percent) and the withered branches and fruits were far less (7.1 and 13.4 percents respectively).The dynamics of the fallen litter was shown as a curve of two-peak pattern which appeared in April and September each year.The half-life of the litter was 1.59 years.The decay rate of the litter attenuted as an exponential function.The annual amount of the nutrient returned to the ground through the litter was as large as 223.69kg ha^-1.The total current amount of the litter on the ground was 7.47t ha^-1.The decay rate in the first half of a year was 45.18 percent.This ecosystem remained in the stage of litter increasing with time.

Ecological variables influencing the diversity and distribution of macrolichens colonizing Quercus leucotrichophora in Uttarakhand forest

Ecological variables play a significant role in determining the diversity and distribution of any living organism on earth. Lichens are not exceptional and are quite sensitive in comparison to other organisms; hence the present study focuses on the impact of ecological variables on the diversity and distribution of epiphytic macrolichens colonizing Quercus leucotrichophora across eight different sites(50 m × 50 m) in Thal Ke Dhar forest, Kumaun Himalaya, Uttarakhand, India. For sampling of macrolichens, 200 trees(25 trees from each site) of Q.leucotrichophora were selected from each site and five quadrats of 5 cm × 10 cm(1000 quadrats in totality) were drawn at the tree trunk. From all the sampled trees, a total of 54 species of epiphytic macrolichens belonging to 18 genera and five families were recorded. Various ecological variables, namely altitude, aspect, slope, diameter at breast height(DBH), and lopping percent(partial cutting of the twigs as disturbance), were also analyzed to investigate their influence on macrolichen species composition and distribution pattern in the study area. For the determination of relationships between these variables, statistical analysis, namely Pearson's Correlation Coefficient, Polynomial regression analysis and Principal Component Analysis(PCA)were performed. Out of all variables, lopping was significantly correlated to species richness of epiphytic macrolichens(0.712~*, p<0.05) and it was confirmed by Pearson's Correlation Coefficient.Despite of having high anthropogenic pressure or impact through lopping, the maximum number of macrolichen species was recorded at elevation 2267 meter above sea level(m asl). The present study revealed that besides other ecological variables,lopping practices can act as a key parameter incontrolling the diversity and distribution not only of epiphytic macrolichens but also of other life forms such as bryophytes, pteridophytes, insects, birds etc.and can be either negatively or positively correlated.

Studies on Material Cycling in Evergreen Broad-LeavedForest Ecosystem in Hangzhon: Ⅲ. S Concentrationand Its Storage in Vegetation

This paper reveals the variations of S concentration among the leaf surface and other organs of variousplant species, and presents the distribution natures of S storage in the evergreen broad-leaved forest vege-tation in Hangzhou on the basis of the tested data concerning plant S contents. The result was that theS concentrations on the tree leaf surfaces varied with the testing time and plant species. The range of Scontents in various organs of a plant was 2.086- 4.245 S g kg￣(-1), varying with plant species in this forest.The S content in the leaves was the highest, followed by that in the branches, trunks and roots, which showedthat there was an apical dominance of S distribution. The total amount of S storage in the vegetation wasas large as 349.97 S kg ha￣(-1). The S distribution in this vegetation had two characteristics as follows: 1)for the vegetation layers, arbor layer > renewal layer > herb layer > shrub layer; and 2) for the verticaldistribution per unit height (m), root stratum (0 - 0.20 m of soil depth)> stratum nearby the ground surface(0 - 0.5m) > canopy (4.0- 9.5m) > trunk stratum (2.0- 4.0m).

Studies on Material Cycling in Evergreen Broad-LeavedForest Ecosystem in Hangzhou: Ⅳ. Uptake, Storageand Return of S by Vegetation

The work was carried out to study the uptake, storage and return of S in the evergreen broad-leaved forestecosystem of Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province, China, based on the annual increments of plants and S contentsper unit weight plant organs as well as the measured data about the biological return and decomposition.Results showed that the vegetation layer had an annual S uptake of 55.02kg ha￣(-1) , which accounted for 15.8% of the total S storage in the vegetation layer. The S uptake was the highest in the arbor layer but thelowest in the shrub layer. The biological return of S was 50% higher than the biological uptake, indicatingthe relatively high cycling efficiency of S. Nevertheless, S had a relatively low rate of biological release, so thatS trended to accumulate in the litter layer. S taken up by plants each year came mostly from precipitationand the reserve of soil.

Spatial distribution of display sites of Grey Peacock-pheasant in relation to micro-habitat and predators during the breeding season

Background： The destruction and fragmentation of forest in Southeast Asia is accelerating biodiversity loss, resulting in a range of management and conservation actions. For some species, a detailed understanding of microhabitat selection is critical for this, especially in the breeding season.Methods： To understand the factors that explain how specific habitats are used by the Grey Peacock-pheasant（Polyplectron bicalcaratum） in the breeding season, we used camera trapping and microhabitat sampling to assess the microhabitat selection of males. We also looked at their interaction with predators in an area of 1200 m × 1200 m at the Hua Kha Khaeng Wildl fe Sanctuary, Tha land, between January and May 2013.Results： We show that display scrapes are situated on flatter open areas with small saplings and some vines, typified by low horizontal understory density. We hypothesise that this allows a trade-off between courtship display and the avoidance of predators. Our study showed that the position of Grey Peacock-pheasant display scrapes regularly overlapped with predators within the same microhabitat. We hypothesise that the species＇ behavioural responses to temporal variation in predation risk allows them to avoid most predators.Conclusions： Particular microhabitats are required for Grey Peacock-pheasant display.They avoid predators at these places by being active when predators are not.

Regeneration and Tree Species Diversity of Sitakund Botanical Garden and Eco-Park,Chittagong,Bangladesh

Anthropogenic disturbances influence plant regeneration and species diversity, which impact the conservation status of protected areas. A study was conducted in the Sitakund Botanical Garden and Eco-park （SBGE）, Chittagong, Bangladesh to analyze the natural regeneration and tree species diversity in disturbed and less disturbed zones. Stratified and systematic random sampling was used to select 50 sample plots from each of the two zones. A total number of 109 plant species from 43 families were recorded in the study; of which 93 species were of natural origin while the rest were planted. From the species with natural origin 66 were tree species, 9 were shrub species and 28 were climbers. Species richness, density of regeneration and disturbance index in the height classes （0- 0.5 m） and {dbh 〉 6 cm） indicated significant differences between the zones. The study analyzed how disturbances affect species diversity in the area. It was found that species richness and basal area are negatively related with disturbances. Moreover, density （N/ha） of trees was more likely to decrease with increasing tree height that reflects the huge demand of local people to harvest large trees as part of their income generating activities. The study findings have implications for future managementdecisions of the SGBE. To restore these ecosystems, management should focus on both biodiversity eonservation and providing benefits to local people without hampering forest ecosystems.

Change in Species Diversity during Recovering Process of Evergreen Broad-leaved Forest

Evergreen broad-leaved forestis one of the most important vegetation types in China.Because of the human activities,evergreen broad-leaved forest has been destroyed extensively,leading to degraded ecosystem.It is urgent to conserve and restore these natural forests in China. In this paper,the tendency and rate of species diversity restoration of the evergreen broad-leaved forest in Daming Mountain has been studied.The main resultsare as follows:(a)In subtropical mid-mountain area,species diversity in degraded evergreen broad-leaved forestcan be restored. Through analyzing b diversity index of communities in different time and space,it was found that the species composition of communities tend to be the same as that in the zonal evergreen broad-leaved forest.(b)The restoration rate of evergreen broad-leaved forest was very fast.Planting Chinese fir after clear-cutting and controlled burning of the forest,178 species appeared in a 600m^2 sample area after 20 years’natural recovering.Among the sespecies,58 were tree layer and the height of community reached 18m.The survey suggested that it would take only 20 years for the degraded forest to develop into community composed of lightdemanding broad-leaved pioneer trees and min-tolerance broad-leaved trees,and it need another 40~80 years to reach the stage consisting of min-tolerance evergreen broad-leaved trees.(c)Species number increased quickly at the early stage(2-20years)during vegetation recovering process toward the climax,and decreased at the min-stage (50-60 years),then maintained a relatively stable level at the late-stage (over 150 years).

Improved Model for Semideciduous Seasonal ForestProduction of Leaves and Deciduousness

The climate,mainly the water availability and temperature,drives the renewal of biomass inseasonal forest ecosystem,and the greenness and leaf area of its canopy are responsive climate variations.This study verified models to explain the phenomenon of leaf production and deciduousness by time,with LAI（Leaf Area Index）,NDVI（Normalized Difference VegetationIndex）and climate variables,on period 2011-2016. The data were obtained in satellite images and in plots installed at forestmonitoring sites,visited monthly.The analysis incorporated the water balance.Three equations were compared,two alreadypublished and the equation that was adjusted in this work.The model was improved and validated with new variables and data.It is possible to estimate the fall and renew of leaves biomass in semideciduous forests with reasonable precision.

The Diversity of the Environmental Impact in Kurzeme

The analysis of environmental impact effects on forest ecosystems has a theoretical and practical nature. Many methods have been developed to determine characteristics and intensity of this impact. Methodologically, they can be divided into three groups： environmental parameter, bioindicative and combined methods. To evaluate the environmental impact a combined method was used in this study, it was based on trees as the bioindicators and their response reactions, and environmental parameter analysis. In this study the bioindicator was Norway spruce （Picea abies （L.） Karst.）, whose response reaction was used to explain total impact volumes of environmental factors in different places in the region of Kurzeme and try to interpret the causes of these differences. As the bioindicators criterion was used response reaction of Norway spruce during a period of 20 years, which was expressed with cumulative and annual additional volume increment, and was depending on the location of the stand and its morphometric characteristics. The empirical material was collected in Kurzeme region in 28 sample plots that are located on two transects and in one reference stand. For the evaluation the widths of the last 40 year growth rings were measured. To express the environmental impact in Kurzeme region a multiple regression model was developed, which explains the environmental impact in the volume of 68.2%, the rest part can be explained by the local conditions of each stand. It must be noted that methodology used in this study is very sensitive, thus, each of the nuances in the dynamics of volume＇s annual reduced additional increments has biological and ecological cause.

Soil Microbial Activity and Functional Diversity in Primeval Beech Forests

Virgin forests are unique ecosystems, which can be used as etalon for basic biocoenotic investigation. Soil microorganisms are very sensitive reagents on influence of biotical factors, and at the same time are the active producers of phytotoxic and phytostimulating exometabolites. Studies of soil microbiota were conducted in virgin beech forests of Shyrokoluzhansky massif of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve. It was found the ratio and the number of different ecological-trophic groups of soil microorganisms changes with altitude. So the number of ammonificators with increasing of altitude above sea level was reduced. The soil at altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level was characterized by minimum content of organotrophes -1.22 × 10^6 （CFU-colony forming units/lg.a.d.s.）. At the altitude of 500 meters content of ammonificators increased at six times and was 7.07 ×10^6 CFU/lg.a.d.s., which indicates to accumulation of the soil organic matter. Similar changes occurred with the number of bacteria which are using mineral forms of nitrogen for their nutrition. Their maximum quantity （4.32 × 10^6 CFU/lg.a.d.s.） was in the soil of biotope disposed at altitude of 500 meters above sea level. Fluctuations in the number of soil micromycetes of virgin forest ecosystems have not been as significant as the bacterial microbiota （within 17 ×10^3-28 × 10^3 CFU/lg.a.d.s.）. Among a wide spectrum of bacterial microbiota were isolated strains with high phytostimulating action.

Possible emissions of N2O from plants in coniferous-deciduous mixed forests

Aboveground vertical profiles of N2O concentrations were measured with in two natural coniferous-deciduous mixed forests of 1998 and 1999 in Changbai M ountain. Significant high N2O concentrations were found in six profiles out of t welve profiles. The results showed that high concentrations were 3.03% to 64.9% higher than the 'normal concentrations' in these six profiles. Differences betwe en the high concentrations and the 'normal concentrations' were statistically si gnificant. The simultaneous occurrence of high concentrations at/nearby the cano py height and normal concentrations at the trunk space height indicated an efflu x of N2O from foliage to atmosphere. This study afforded evidence supporting tha t plant per se, besides forest soil, was an important source of atmospheric N2O in a forest ecosystem.

地形、邻株植物及自身大小对红楠幼树生长与存活的影响

在山地森林中,树木生长不仅受地形的影响,也与邻株植物存在各种相互作用,而且具有个体大小依赖性。然而这些影响都具有物种特异性,即不同物种即使在同类地形或与同种植物相邻也会受到不同乃至相反的影响。此外,不同物种个体生长的自身大小依赖性也存在差异。作者利用中欧合作项目"中国亚热带森林生物多样性与生态系统功能实验研究(BEF)"实验样地,以渐危的常绿阔叶木本植物红楠(Machilus thunbergii)为研究对象,连续两年观测了存活的1,452株红楠幼树基径和树高,分析坡向和坡度等地形、邻株植物丰富度及其功能群组成、红楠自身大小对红楠幼树生长和存活率的影响。结果表明:(1)红楠幼树位于阴坡时比位于阳坡具有更高的生长速率和存活率,而坡度只对树高生长量有显著影响;(2)邻株植物物种丰富度对红楠幼树的基径、树高和存活率影响不显著;(3)邻株植物功能类型对红楠幼树生长具有极显著的影响,影响程度大小依次为落叶阔叶型>落叶阔叶与常绿阔叶的混交型>常绿阔叶型>常绿针叶型,而对存活率无显著影响;(4)红楠幼树的生长与自身大小呈正相关幂函数关系,即基径和树高的生长速率都会随着其自身大小的增加而增加。可见,构建树木生长模型,不仅要考虑地形等环境因子差异,而且要充分考虑邻株植物的功能类群差异、邻株植物相互作用的性质和程度,以及自身个体大小等因素,为渐危和濒危树种的保护提供更为可靠的理论依据。
