摘要:

过度放牧对全球大多数草地群落造成严重威胁。蜜蜂是草地群落中的关键传粉类群, 放牧可能引起群落中植物多样性和巢穴资源变动, 从而对蜜蜂多样性产生不利影响。然而, 在放牧历史较长和放牧管理良好的群落, 放牧对蜜蜂多样性也可能存在正面或中性的影响。因此, 放牧如何影响蜜蜂多样性及其在生态修复中的作用还需要深入研究。本研究整合已有文献资料以及近年来的研究实践, 提出通过整合蜜蜂物种丰富度、功能多样性、系统发育多样性, 以及传粉网络特征等与生态系统功能密切相关因素的研究, 能够更加准确地认识蜜蜂多样性在生态修复过程中的动态变化以及存在的问题。对于草地退化程度较低的地区, 建议通过有效的放牧管理, 利用草地群落自身的复原力实现蜜蜂的逐步修复。而对于草地退化严重的地区, 则需要在实行放牧管理的基础上, 通过人为干预的辅助再生策略加速生态修复进程, 如补播草种增加花多度和提供适宜蜜蜂的筑巢环境等。补播草种的筛选和组合要综合考虑其在传粉网络中的角色, 以及花特征和花期物候等因素, 确保蜜蜂在不同花期均能获得足够的食物。针对我国南北方不同草地类型开展蜜蜂丧失机制的调查, 并有针对性地制定蜜蜂的生态修复策略, 具有重要意义。

Abstract

Background & Aims: Overgrazing poses a dominant threat to the biodiversity of most grassland communities. Bees are the primary pollinator group in the grassland ecosystem. Grazing has generally negative effects on bee diversity by affecting floral and nesting resources in grassland communities. However, in communities with long grazing history and reasonable grazing management, grazing may have a positive or neutral impact on bee diversity. Therefore, how grazing affects bee diversity and its role in ecological restoration needs further study.
Progress:
In this study, we integrate the recent literature and research practice, and propose that the efficacy of bee restoration can be more accurately assessed through the integration of bee species richness, functional diversity, phylogenetic diversity and full plant-pollinator interaction networks, which provide comprehensive and quantitative information on the structure and function of grassland communities. For grasslands with low degradation, bees can be gradually recovered by effective grazing management, which uses the natural recovery potential of the communities. For grasslands with greater degradation, it is necessary to accelerate the bee restoration through active interventions on the basis of grazing management, such as sowing wildflower species that cannot migrate into the restoration area without assistance and enhancing the availability of nesting habitat for bees. To ensure that bees can obtain enough floral rewards in different flowering periods, the selection and combination of the sown flower species should take into account their roles in the pollination network, floral traits and flowering phenology.
Perspective: It is of great practical significance to investigate the mechanism of bee loss in different types of grasslands in southern and northern China, and to guide the development of targeted ecological restoration strategies for bees.
