摘要:

亚热带半湿润常绿阔叶林是中国西南地区独特的森林类型, 研究群落优势种更新的时空格局和策略对理解其动态特征和驱动机制具有重要意义。基于云南鸡足山半湿润常绿阔叶林动态监测样地第一次群落调查数据, 我们对5个优势树种的幼苗、幼树数量特征进行统计, 比较其种群结构, 用概率密度函数g(r)分析了更新种群与成树种群的多尺度空间格局, 运用普通最小二乘回归模型和多尺度地理加权回归模型评估了优势树种更新密度的影响因素。结果表明: (1)阔叶树种元江栲(Castanopsis orthacantha)、高山栲(C. delavayi)、银木荷(Schima argentea)以及白穗石栎(Lithocarpus craibianus)具有增长型种群的径级结构; 而针叶树种云南松(Pinus yunnanensis)种群具有衰退型种群结构。(2) 5个优势树种的更新种群与成树种群格局在小尺度(0-50 m)上均呈聚集分布, 随着尺度增大聚集强度下降, 转为随机分布或均匀分布。其中4个阔叶树种更新种群和成树种群的分布在小尺度上显著正关联, 而云南松的更新种群与成树种群分布呈显著负关联。(3)对于种群更新密度变化, 多尺度地理加权回归模型对幼苗和幼树的解释量(R2)比普通最小二乘回归模型分别提升了58.7%和26.9%, 显示了空间自相关的影响。模型结果表明, 幼苗密度格局受生境因子的限制较弱, 而受种子扩散等随机过程的影响更大; 相对地, 幼树密度格局受生境因子的限制更强。研究结果为理解这一植物群落类型的动态和构建机制提供了科学证据。

Abstract

Aim: Subtropical semi-humid evergreen broad-leaved forest is a unique forest type in Southwest China. We expect to enhance our understanding of the characteristics and drivers of community dynamics in this ecosystem by studying the spatial and temporal patterns and regeneration strategies of the dominant tree species.

Methods: Using the first community survey data of the forest dynamics plot in a semi-humid evergreen broad-leaved forest in the Jizhu Mountains, Yunnan Province, we explored the patterns of seedlings, saplings, and adults of five dominant tree species and compared their population structure in DBH classes. The multi-scale spatial patterns of regeneration and adult populations were modeled using a probability density function g(r). A comparison of ordinary least squared and multi-scale geographical weighting regression models were used to assess the factors influencing the seedling and sapling density of the dominant tree species.

Result: (1) Castanopsis orthacantha, C. delavayi, Schima argentea, and Lithocarpus craibianus exhibited a growing population DBH class structure. The Pinus yunnanensis had a declining population structure. (2) The patterns of regeneration and adult populations of all five species were clustered at small scales (0-50 m), but the intensity of clustering decreased with increasing scales, shifting to random or uniform distributions. The distributions of juvenile and adult populations of Pinus yunnanensis showed a significant negative correlation at small scales, while the distribution of juvenile and adult populations of the other four broad-leaved species showed a significant positive correlation. (3) The multi-scale geographical weighting regression model explained 58.7% and 26.9% more than the ordinary least squares model for the change of population regeneration densities of seedlings and saplings, respectively, showing a significant effect of spatial autocorrelation in population patterns. The model results indicated that the seedling density pattern was constrained more by stochasticity in seed dispersal than by habitat factors, while the sapling density pattern was dominated by that of habitat factors.

Conclusions: Except for Pinus yunnanensis, the other four dominant tree species in the sample plot of the semi-humid evergreen broad-leaved forest in the Jizhu Mountains regenerate well. The spatial patterns of regeneration of all five species are constrained by both stochastic dispersal limitation and deterministic environmental filtration, but the dominant constraint shifts from the former to the later as regeneration progressesfrom the seedling phase to the sapling phase.
