摘要: 利用2002–2004年内蒙古和甘肃南部几种典型草地的实测资料, 研究了不同尺度物种丰富度与生产力的关系, 并初步探讨了其形成机制。结果显示, 温带草地的物种丰富度随生产力的增加而增加, 但受空间尺度影响。在群落尺度(同一群落), 在7种样方数大于15的群落中, 仅沙生针茅(Stipa glareosa)群落物种丰富度与生产力呈现单峰型关系, 其余均呈现线性正相关关系; 在植被类型尺度, 物种丰富度–生产力之间表现为显著的正相关关系; 在研究区尺度, 物种丰富度随生产力的增加而显著增加。研究还表明, 研究区群落生产力的变化范围为13–368 g·m–2·yr–1, 物种丰富度为4–35 种; 生产力从高到低的顺序为: 高寒草甸>草甸草原>典型草原>荒漠草原。

AbstractThe relationship between plant species diversity and primary productivity has long been a hot topic in biodiversity research. We examined the relationship between species richness and productivity in four typical grasslands of northern China at different spatial scales. At the community scale, a positive correlation was found for six of seven communities, and a unimodal pattern was found only for one community (Stipa glareosa community). At large scale (vegetation type or landscape/region), a significant positive relationship was found. Species richness ranged from 4 to 35 species, and community above-ground productivity from 13 to 368 g·m–2·yr–1. The highest species richness and above-ground productivity were found in the alpine meadow community, followed by meadow steppe, typical steppe and desert steppe.
