石羊河上游草地植物种群特征与生产力关系研究

对石羊河上游各类草地群落16种主要植物种群特征与其自身初级生产力之间的关系进行了探讨.结果表明:草地群落16种主要植物密度与初级生产力存在相关性,其中蒿草、针茅等7种达到极显著水平(0.95<r<0.99,P<0.01),苔草、扁穗冰草等7种达到显著水平(0.89<r<0.94,P<0.05),冷蒿、骆驼蓬与生产力的相关性不显著,r分别为0.790 1、0.671 3(P>0.05);草地群落植物盖度与生产力关系的研究中,冷蒿、醉马草等5种植物呈显著性相关(0.84<r<0.95,P<0.05),其余都呈极显著性相关(0.96<r<1,P<0.01),说明植物群落初级生产力随着植物盖度的增加而增大;分析各类草场主要植物种群密度和盖度与生产力之间的相关性,发现盖度与生产力的显著性普遍高于密度与生产力的水平,即盖度与生产力的拟合函数关系更能贴近生产实际,更方便于农牧民判断草地实际生产力,对保护草地、可持续利用草地具有十分重要的意义.

Analysis of the Species Dominance & Dominant on the Karst Mountain Grassland Plant Community

[Objective] The aim was to study the species,quantity and community traits of dominant plant in karst mountain grassland plant community so as to provide support for the vegetation restoration in karst mountain grassland.[Method] Standard plot sites investigation method was used study the quantity traits of different plant communities of different altitudes and slopes.[Result] The IV SDR4 were the highest in the all plot sites of plant community on the kasrt mountain grassland,but the IV SDR4 were showed a trend of decreasing with the increasing of the altitude.The dominant quantity was increasing with the altitude upward,so the altitude was the mostly factor for plant community construction.[Conclusion] Altitude was the main factor to influence the community structure of plant.

Higher Species Diversity Occurs in More Fertile Habitats Without Fertilizer Disturbance in an Alpine Natural Grassland Community

Are there some relationships among species diversity and soil chemical properties of high altitude natural grasslands? Plant community composition and chemical properties of soil samples were compared to investigate the relationship between soil and species diversity, and the richness in Tibetan alpine grasslands. Results showed that species diversity was significantly positively related to soil organic matter(SOM), total nitrogen(TN),available nitrogen(AN), total phosphorus(TP),available phosphorus(AP), and available potassium(AK) in the high alpine grasslands. Margalef's species richness index was also significantly positively related to SOM, TN, AN, and TP. Most soil chemical properties showed significantly positive correlation with species diversity and Margalef's richness index.Our results suggested that higher plant species richness index and diversity occurred in more fertile soil habitats in high altitude natural grassland community. In practice, fertilization management for the restoration of degraded grassland should be conducted with reference to the nutrient levels ofnatural grassland without the additional artificial fertilizer and with higher species-diversity and richness index.

Assessing Threats and Setting Conservation Priorities for Plant Species between Forest and Meadow Ecotone in Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve, China

In order to understand the pattern and status of plant species in the forest-meadow ecotonein Sanjiangyuan Nature Reserve, this study was undertaken through expert consultation, literaturesurvey and fieldwork in various parts of the ecotone during 2002-2004. Based on 3 important systems,i.e. threatened status, genetic loss effect and use value, the list of threatened and prioritized plants wasestablished. In this paper, the threatened coefficient was defined as the criteria of category for threatenedplants, the conservation priorities coefficient summed by threatened coefficient, genetic coefficient anduse value coefficient was defined as the criteria of prioritized plants. In addition, 10 indicators toevaluate threatened grading and conservation priorities sequence were included in the 3 importantsystems. The weights of 3 systems and 10 indicators were given through expert consultation andanalytic hierarchy process. Ten indicators were given scores based on the subcriteria, respectively, andall the scores of the 3 systems were summed up for each species, then contrasted to the criteria ofthreatened grading and conservation priorities for plant species. The status of endangerment andconservation priorities of plant species were analyzed, and the results showed that the number ofendangered species was 2, vulnerable species 37, near threatened species 140, safe species 767; the firstconcern category had 4 species, the second concern category 18, the third concern category 150 and theleast concern category 774.
