摘要：

个体大小是植物重要的特征之一, 目前其受环境因子的影响还不十分清楚。基于样地实际调查数据, 我们分析了新疆山地森林乔木和草地草本植物个体大小的特征(统称为乔木和草本, 分别以平均胸径和平均株高表示), 并在物种和区域尺度, 分析了其与分布区特征和植物多样性的关系。研究发现: (1)在物种尺度上, 森林植被中乔木物种的个体大小与其分布区特征正相关, 即分布范围较广的乔木倾向于个体更大; 草地植被中草本植物的特征与此类似; (2)在区域尺度上, 乔木平均个体越大, 区域植物平均分布区越小, 反之亦然; 草本植物的平均个体大小与区域植物分布区特征无显著相关性; (3)在区域尺度上, 森林乔木和草地草本植物的个体大小与植物多样性均呈正相关关系, 即森林乔木和草地草本植物平均个体较大时, 其区域多样性更高。

Abstract

Species body size is an important trait, however, currently the correlations of body size with range size and species richness are still not very clear, especially for plants. With plant distribution and plot investigation data in the Xinjiang region of China, we explored plant body size patterns and tested the relationship between plant body size and range size, both at the species and regional scale. Further, the relationship of plant body size and plant richness was also tested at the regional scale. In this study, tree body size of forests was indicated using the average diameter at breast height (DBH), and the herbaceous plant body size of grasslands was indicated using the average height based on our plot investigation. Regional plant body size was the average value of all measured plants distributed in each grid cell (0.1° × 0.1°). We found that: (1) At the species scale, tree body size was positively correlated with range size characteristics, i.e., trees that spread wider were normally larger in size than those in narrower ranges; herb body size displayed a similar pattern with lower correlation coefficients; (2) At the regional scale, a region with larger average tree body size tended to have lower regional average plant range size and vice versa; the regional herb body size of grasslands did not significantly correlate with the regional average plant range size; (3) At the regional scale, tree body size and herb body size both positively correlated with regional plant richness. We concluded that at the species and regional scale, for different vegetation, the plant body size may have different patterns and correlate differently with range size characteristics.

Key words: plant body size, plant range size, species scale, regional scale, plant richness, Xinjiang
