Are there some relationships among species diversity and soil chemical properties of high altitude natural grasslands？ Plant community composition and chemical properties of soil samples were compared to investigate the relationship between soil and species diversity, and the richness in Tibetan alpine grasslands. Results showed that species diversity was significantly positively related to soil organic matter （SOM）, total nitrogen （TN）, available nitrogen （AN）, total phosphorus （TP）, available phosphorus （AP）, and available potassium （AK） in the high alpine grasslands. Margalefs species richness index was also significantly positively related to SOM, TN, AN, and TP. Most soil chemical properties showed significantly positive correlation with species diversity and Margalef＇s richness index. Our results suggested that higher plant species richness index and diversity occurred in more fertile soil habitats in high altitude natural grassland community. In practice, fertilization management for the restoration of degraded grassland should be conducted with reference to the nutrient levels ofnatural grassland without the additional artificial fertilizer and with higher species-diversity and richness index.  相似文献   

Biodiversity and invasibility: Distribution patterns of invasive plant species in the Himalayas,Nepal   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

Invasive plant species are exerting a serious threat to biological diversity in many regions of the world. To understand plant invasions this study aims to test which of the two plant invasiveness hypotheses; ‘low native diversity' vs. ‘high native diversity', is supported by the regional distribution patterns of invasive plant species in the Himalayas,Nepal. This study is based on data retrieved from published literatures and herbarium specimens. The relationship between invasive plant species distribution patterns and that of native plant species is elucidated by scatter plots, as well as by generalized linear models. The native plant species and invasive plant species have similar distribution patterns and the maximum number of invasive plant species is found in the same altitudinal range where the highest richness for native tree species is found. There is a clear trend of higher invasive plant richness in regions where native tree species richness is relatively high.Consequently, the native plant richness is highest in the central phytogeographic region, followed by the eastern and the western regions, respectively. The invasive plant species also follows a similar trend.Additionally, the invasive plant species richness was positively correlated with anthropogenic factors such as human population density and the number of visiting tourists. This study supports the hypothesis that ‘high native diversity' supports or facilitates invasive plant species. Further, it indicates that nativeand invasive plant species may require similar natural conditions, but that the invasive plant species seem more dependent and influenced by anthropogenic disturbance factors.  相似文献   

Species richness,diversity and density of understory vegetation along disturbance gradients in the Himalayan conifer forest

We investigated whether species richness, diversity and density of understory herbaceous plants differed along logging(gap) and grazing(primarily by cattle) disturbance gradients, and sought to identify drivers of richness, diversity and density of understory vegetation of logged sites. A factorial experiment was conducted in the mixed conifer forest of Gidakom in Western Bhutan. Levels of the logging treatment included small(0.15 – 0.24 ha), medium(0.25 – 0.35 ha) and large(0.36 – 1.31 ha) gaps. The grazing treatment included grazed(primarily by cattle) and ungrazed(where herbivores were excluded by a fence) plots nested within each gap. Data were collected from 12 gaps(4 replicates at each level of logging) using the point intercept method. Shannon Weaver Diversity and Margalef's indices were used to estimate species diversity and describe species richness, respectively. Soil samples were analyzed for pH and nutrients. The interaction effect of logging and grazing was significant(p≤0.001) only on species diversity. Relative to ungrazed areas, species diversity was significantly higher(0.01≤p≤0.05) in medium grazed gaps. Under grazed conditions, soil P was negatively correlated with gap size and species diversity. While species diversity was positivelycorrelated(0.01≤p≤0.05) with soil N in grazed plots species richness was positively correlated(0.001≤p≤0.01) with soil N in ungrazed plots. Relative density of Yushania microphylla and Carex nubigena were higher under ungrazed conditions. Our study suggests that the combined effect of cattle grazing and logging results in higher species diversity of understory vegetation in medium and grazed gaps in mixed conifer forests of Bhutan,whereas increase or decrease in relative density of major species is determined primarily by the independent effects of grazing and logging. From management perspective, forest managers must refrain from creating large gaps to avoid loss of nutrients(mainly P and N), which may eventually affect tree regeneration. Managers intending to maintain understory vegetation diversity must consider the combined effects of grazing and logging, ensuring low to moderate grazing pressure.  相似文献   

Historical Sediment Record of ~(137)Cs, δ-HCH,and δ~(13)C Reflects the Impact of Land Use on Soil Erosion     

TANG Xiang-Yu  ;ZHANG Xin-Bao  ;GUAN Zhuo  ;LONG Yi  ;TANG Qiang  ;LU Yu-Juan 《山地科学学报》2014,11(4):866-874

This paper reports the concentrations of 137 Cs, hexachlorocyclohexane(HCH), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes(DDT) and its main degradation products, δ13C, and organic carbon in pond sediments(0-210 cm, sectioned by 2-20 cm interval) and surface soils(the 0-3 cm horizon) collected in 2010 from Chenjia catchment, which is located in Yanting county in the hilly central Sichuan of China. α-, δ-, and γ-HCH, DDT, and DDD were not detected throughout the sediment profile. Trace concentrations of δ-HCH(0.89-29.31 ng g-1) and p,p′-DDE(1.85-6.02 ng g-1) were detected only in top 40 cm sediment. The 137 Cs fallout peak in 1963(corresponding to the 55-60 cm depth), the sedimentary signature left by the last year of HCH use in 1989(an additional indicator at 20-25 cm), and the obvious original channel bed prior to the construction of the pond in 1956 were used as temporal markers to estimate changes in average sedimentation rate between different periods due to changes in land use. Continuous, marked decrease in average sedimentation rate(i.e., 3.79, 1.35 and 1.07 cm year-1 in 1956-1963, 1963-1989, and 1989-2010, respectively)over time was observed, probably due to the reforestation, abandoning of steep sloping farmland for afforestation and natural re-vegetation(implementation of the Grain for Green Program), and the conversion of part of gently sloping farmland terraces to orchard land since the 1980 s, especially since the 1990 s. This was corroborated by the observed decrease(more negative) in δ13C of sediment towards the surface, which indicates increased relative contribution of eroded soil particles coming from slopes with increased tree cover in sediment source area. Combined use of 137 Cs, δ-HCH, and δ13C record in sediments has been demonstrated to be a powerful approach to reconstruction of response in sedimentation rate to historical land use changes.  相似文献   

东北哈尼泥炭腐殖化度古气候意义及区域对比     

程胜高  肖河  黄庭  周莹  胡忠霞  刘晓彤 《地球科学与环境学报》2014,(2)

不同地区泥炭腐殖化度指示的古气候意义存在着分歧。运用碱提取溶液吸光度法对东北哈尼泥炭腐殖化度进行测定,结合14C测年数据的年代框架,对比东北哈尼、神农架大九湖、青藏高原红原、福建天湖山地区泥炭腐殖化度气候代用指标,分析不同地区泥炭腐殖化度古气候意义异同的原因。结果表明:哈尼泥炭腐殖化度的古气候意义包含温度-湿度组合,较高的腐殖化度指示气候温暖潮湿,较低的腐殖化度指示气候干燥寒冷;从哈尼、红原、大九湖、天湖山泥炭腐殖化度时间序列的对比可以得出,虽然其古气候意义有所不同,但其记录的中国全新世古气候环境演变趋势大体相同,都反映了中国早全新世阶段的升温现象、中全新世的大暖期现象及晚全新世阶段的降温;温度、湿度、季风、经纬度及地质地貌等因素都对泥炭腐殖化度有影响,但水热条件是直接影响,其他因素通过对水热条件的改变而间接影响腐殖化度;阐述不同区域泥炭腐殖化度的古气候意义没有固定模式,需结合当地的地理位置、地质地貌、年均气温、季风、降水、植被等情况进行具体分析。  相似文献

Mineral occurrence for Dachang gold deposit and its impact on gold recovery rate in Qumarleb County,Qinghai     

CHEN Shengyan  ;YAO Xudong  ;JING Xiangyang  ;WANG Chunguang 《世界地质(英文版)》2014,17(3):155-162

Based on X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis of the Dachang gold ore, it is showed that the sulfide of ore is the main carrier minerals of gold. A majority of gold is embedded in pyrite and tetrahedrite as the form of inclusion and a small amount intergrowth with pyrite and gangue mineral, occasionally the presence is in form of monomer natural gold. The main factors which influence the recovery rate are sulfide mineral particle size, and the fine grained sulfide is beneficial for the dissociation and flotation of gold bearing minerals. The monomer dissociation degree of gold bearing minerals can reach 91.3% , when the grinding fineness is less than 0. 074 mm and grain level accounts as 80%. It is not conducive to the flotation of sulfide if the grinding fineness is low or high. It is difficult to completely dissociate the monomer if there is a small amount of pyrite and arsenopyrite in the ore. Therefore, before leaching the gold, it must conduct pretreatment to reach the ideal recovery rate of the gold, like roasting oxidation, pressure oxidation and biological oxidation. The fine microscopic gold has little influence on the gold recovery rate.  相似文献

紧急避难场所震灾服务效率的评价方法及实证——以北京市海淀区为例     

季珏  高晓路 《地理研究》2014,(11):2105-2114

紧急避难场所的服务效率评价是确保避难疏散安全性的首要科学问题。建立了紧急避难场所的识别模型,利用该模型将城市中的绿地、广场、楼间空地等所有的开敞空地识别出来,并利用地质、地理等条件对紧急避难场所自身的安全性进行了筛选,识别出城市内部的紧急避难场所,解决了紧急避难场所空间数据获取的难题。提出利用时间成本和容纳能力两个指标来综合测评紧急避难场所的服务水平。以北京市海淀区为例,评价了紧急避难场所的服务效率。评价结果显示:1海淀区紧急避难场所空间分布的集疏特征与人口空间分布的集疏特征在部分地区不相吻合。2海淀区震灾避难场所在规划时限(5 min)与实际震灾逃生时限(12 s)服务水平存在较大差异。3结合人口昼夜空间分布特征,充实度评价表明夜间紧急避难场所人均不足的现象比较明显,比较突出的是位于海淀区中部三环附近的小南庄居住区。未来,可通过提高该地区与周边无人街区或避难面积充足街区的连通性,例如通过避难标识规划的方式,来提高紧急避难场所整体的服务效率。  相似文献
