Effects of corridor networks on plant species composition and diversity in an intensive agriculture landscape

The development of modern agriculture has resulted in much homogenization of the landscape consisting of large patches of farmland,so small remnant non-crop habitats especially linear corridors play an important role in the conservation of species and the maintenance of ecosystem functions.However,little attention has been paid to the effects of corridors structural characteristics on the plant species restricted to such habitats.In this study,we selected three types of corridors including ditch,hedgerow and road,and ana-lyzed their structural characteristics.The plant species presented in these corridors were investigated,and the species diversity,abun-dance and frequency were estimated.Moreover,spatial arrangements of corridors were classified into different types to discuss whether there were significant effects of corridor network on plant distribution.The results show that three types of corridors have different ef-fects on plant species composition and diversity.The one-one combined corridor networks and total network associated by three corri-dors have more complex structural features than each single type of corridor.However,there is no strong correlation between the corri-dor networks with their plant species.We suggest that carrying out a pointed vegetation survey at corridor intersections to further test the relationships between structural features of corridor and plants is necessary.  相似文献   

Ecological indicators showing the succession of macrofauna communities in Sonneratia apetala artificial mangrove wetlands on Qi’ao Island at Zhuhai, South China

The Sonneratia apetala artificial mangroves in the intertidal zone of Da Wei Bay at Qi’ao Island of Zhu-hai, South China were chosen as the macrofauna succession plots while bare tidal flats of the same size were established as control plots in surrounding interference-free areas. Conventional change indicators of community structure, such as biomass and biodiversity, and indicators, such as exergy and specific exergy, which reflect the information change of overall communities, were used to analyze the succession of macro-fauna communities inS. apetala artificial mangroves. The similarities and differences in variation tendency of the different ecological indicators and their reflected ecological principles were compared. The results showed that from D-1 to D-1275 after plantingS. apetala, the biomass of the macrofauna communities first increased, which was then followed by an increase in the network relationship between the macrofauna communities （analysis of the Pielou evenness index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index）. The system in-formation （specific exergy） increased the slowest. Between D-1460 and D-2370 after plantingS. apetala, there was a decrease in biomass, network structure, and system information in the succession plots. After the decrease in the system information （the specific exergy）, there was a decline in the network relationships （Pielou evenness index and Shannon-Wiener diversity index）. Biomass was the last indicator to decrease. The similarities and differences among the different ecological indicators varied during the succession pro-cess, which reflected the relativity and differences among the indicators. This study suggested that, although the species diversity index can be an effective indicator of two types of changes （network structure and system information）, it was quite clear that species diversity measurement was not suitable for expressing the changes in biomass during the succession process. While exergy and specific exergy can provide useful information  相似文献

<正>1引言原生动物是一大类单细胞真核生物的统称,其中自由生活的主要类群包括异养鞭毛虫、纤毛虫和肉足虫(有孔虫和放射虫为代表);它们是生物圈中数量最为庞大的吞噬营养类群,部分种类具有内共生藻类或功能性叶绿体而进行兼性营养。在水环境中,不论是浮游或是底栖生活的原生动物,其生命过程与水体和底质的环境存在着密切的联系;并且通过各种营养关系与其他生物共同联结成为一个有机整体。同时,原生动物的基础研究也为探索真核生  相似文献

江西乐平沿沟剖面均一的碳酸盐相岩沉积, 完整地记录了二叠系-三叠系界线附近生物演变过程.通过对该剖面系统的化石切片研究, 共鉴别出有孔虫27属39种, 包含类4属7种.该剖面有孔虫的演变在二叠纪-三叠纪之交呈现出单幕式的消减过程, 对应于华南两幕生物灭绝中的第1幕.有孔虫的个体数和多样性在21-2层顶部发生了突然降低.4个不同有孔虫组合的演替关系, 揭示了有孔虫在灭绝事件中的演变过程, 即由灭绝前的高丰度、高分异度组合转变为灭绝后低丰度、低分异度组合.通过对二叠系-三叠系界线处鲕状灰岩的化石和沉积特征研究, 发现Hindeodus changxingensis带内的鲕状灰岩中仍存在较为丰富的有孔虫等化石.剧烈的海平面变化以及鲕状灰岩形成使下伏地层中的化石颗粒发生再沉积作用, 是形成这一特殊现象的主要原因.通过对鲕状灰岩中化石和沉积特征的深入研究, 论证了该鲕状灰岩形成于二叠纪-三叠纪之交大灭绝之后, 是当时特殊的海洋生态系产物, 反映了当时较高的海水回旋速率、微生物繁盛、海水碳酸盐超饱和等异常的环境条件.   相似文献

正香港地质公园于2009年成为中国国家地质公园,于2011年加入世界地质公园网络,名为中国香港国家地质公园。香港地质公园位于香港东部和东北部,面积约150平方公里。根据地质环境特点,公园分为西贡火山岩园区和新界东北沉积岩园区,每个园区细分为4个景区,合共八个景区。由于交通便利,离市区只有咫尺之遥,被誉为都市里的地质公园。西贡火山岩园区坐落在一个有1.4亿年历史的巨大破火山口上。在直径超过10公里呈椭圆状的破火山口内,布满了罕有的酸性火山岩六角柱,石柱平均直径1.2米,近破火山口中心的石柱直径超过2米;石柱一般高数十  相似文献

贵州都匀下泥盆统蟒山群Zosterophyllum australianum(澳大利亚工蕨)新材料及其古地理意义^*          下载免费PDF全文

周志强  赵景宇  王嘉树  吴成洋  肖彪  黄璞 《古地理学报》2022,24(3):479-492

Zosterophyllum(工蕨属)是早期陆生植物的代表性类群之一,全球广泛分布。Z.australianum(澳大利亚工蕨)产自华南和澳大利亚,是东北冈瓦纳古植物地理区系的典型分子。文中描述了产自贵州都匀包阳剖面蟒山群中的Z.australianum新材料。该标本的孢子囊具短柄,呈椭圆形或扇形,宽2.6~4.1 mm,高可达3.9 mm,加厚带宽约0.6 mm,紧密螺旋排列形成孢子囊穗,与云南文山早泥盆世坡松冲植物群中的Z. australiaunum极为相似。依据目前对Z. australianum时代延限的认识,并结合蟒山群其他植物属种的发现(如Adoketophyton subverticillatum),推断该群下段的时代为早泥盆世布拉格期。Z. australianum在蟒山群中的发现,扩展了该植物的地理分布范围,反映出蟒山群中的植物组合与坡松冲植物群存在一定联系。  相似文献

为对比岩溶和非岩溶条件下物种组成及多样性的差异,明晰不同地质背景造就的不同土壤因子对物种多样性的影响,在兼有岩溶区与非岩溶区的桂林毛村采用野外样地调查法对研究区进行物种组成及多样性的对比研究。结果表明:(1)研究区内共记录了123种植物,其中岩溶区占35科46属87种,非岩溶区占48科61属95种,非岩溶区植物科属种数量明显大于岩溶区;（2）岩溶区物种多样性为:草本样方>灌木样方>乔木样方;在非岩溶区为:灌木样方>乔木样方>草本样方;（3）不同地质背景造就了不同的土壤因子,其中土壤全氮含量对物种多样性影响最为显著。综上,岩溶区物种组成明显低于非岩溶区,物种多样性也不及非岩溶区,土壤因子与物种多样性之间存在相关性,土壤全氮对物种多样性影响最为显著,土层深度减弱了土壤因子与物种多样性之间的相关性。对比岩溶区与非岩溶区土壤因子与物种之间的关系差异,为区域生态系统恢复重建提供了理论基础。   相似文献
