摘要: 黄河三角洲国际重要湿地生物多样性保护工程于2019年动工, 本研究基于修复区内大型底栖动物群落组成特点及其与环境因子的相关关系, 分析大型底栖动物群落恢复特征, 了解该地区的生态系统健康状况, 评估保护工程实施三年后修复区湿地生态系统演替阶段及修复效果。结果表明: 2022年春、夏、秋三季共采集到大型底栖动物16种, 隶属于5门6纲15科, 昆虫纲动物在物种组成中占据优势地位; 大型底栖动物密度和生物多样性指数的时空差异均不显著(P > 0.05); 大型底栖动物生物量存在显著的季节差异, 表现为秋季(11.56 g/m2) > 夏季(7.81 g/m2) > 春季(7.59 g/m2), 秋季与春季和夏季间均存在显著差异(P < 0.05), 空间差异不显著(P > 0.05)。与环境因子的相关性分析结果显示, 物种密度与电导率、盐度、总碳、铵盐和亚硝酸盐等指标显著相关(P < 0.01)。快速生物综合评价指数评定修复区为“亚健康”状态。本研究通过对黄河三角洲湿地修复区大型底栖动物群落特征以及生态健康评价的分析, 为修复区底栖动物群落的演替规律研究提供基础数据和科学依据, 为后续湿地修复工程的实施和管理提供指导和参考, 对于黄河三角洲生物多样性的保护具有重要意义。

Abstract

Aims: The internationally important wetland biodiversity conservation project of the Yellow River Delta started in 2019. This study used macrobenthos community characteristics and their relationship with environmental factors to understand the health status of this ecosystem and assess the succession stage and repair effect after three years of restoration.

Method: This study investigated the macrobenthos and environmental factors in the restoration area in May, August and October in 2022, respectively. The community structure, biodiversity, and their relationships with major environmental factors were analyzed by classical taxonomy, biodiversity index, cluster analysis, MDS analysis, and Spearman correlation analysis.

Results: A total of 16 macrobenthic species belonging to 5 phyla, 6 classes and 15 families were collected in spring, summer and autumn. Insecta species were found dominant in species composition. The number of macrobenthic species in the Yellow River Delta wetland restoration area showed an increasing trend during the survey period, with chironomid larvae, elliptical radish snails, and pointed mouth round flat snails becoming the dominant species in the area, as well as key characteristic and differential species in the community structure. The species density was significantly correlated with indicators such as specific conductance, salinity, total carbon, ammonium nitrogen, and nitrite nitrogen (P < 0.01). The rapid biological comprehensive evaluation index evaluated the restoration area as the “sub-health” state.

Conclusion: The restoration area is developing towards a healthier and more orderly direction but is currently in a “sub healthy” state, indicating a need for continued restoration work. Ecological succession is a slow process which requires long-term ecological monitoring in our research area, including an analysis of the reconstruction process of the disturbed macrobenthic community structure in the Yellow River Delta ecological restoration area, and an exploration of the regular changes in ecological succession.
