太白山林下草本多样性格局和性状构建解析.docVIP

太白山森林群落和林下草本物种摘 要 。典范对应分析（CCA）、、冗余分析（RDA）分别研究了不同环境因子对太白山森林群落及林下草本物种组成、多样性、功能性状等方面的影响。结果表明：1）9种环境因子对于群落及林下草本物种的组成变化的解释程度不高，分别为23.9%和21.1%，但与海拔和土壤含水量紧密相关的CCA1轴能大致区分高、中、低海拔样方的群落所有物种和草本植物的组成差异。2）沿海拔梯度，群落所有物种的α多样性先增加后降低。林下草本物种α多样性沿海拔梯度有下降趋势。二者都与坡度及木本层盖度无关。3）海拔是决定森林群落及林下草本层物种功能性状值变化的主要因子，与海拔密切相关的RDA1轴能解释森林群落和林下草本物种性状值变化的71.2%和54.7%.林下）Environmental Interpretation of Variations on Forest Community and Understory Herbaceous in Taibai Mountain, Shaanxi, China CHEN Yu, XU Jinshi, ZHANG Lixia, GUO Yaoxin, CHAI Yongfu, WANG Mao, ZHANG Chenguang, YUE Ming* College of Life Sciences, Northwest University, Xi’an, 710069, China Abstract: Our study aimed to determine the relationship between the environment factors and these variation patterns. Also, we examined the difference of variation patterns between forest community and understory herb layer only. The canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) was used for testing the relationship between 9 environment factors and species composition data. A correlation test was determined the relationship between environment factors and species α diversity. Redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to analyze the importance of environment factors on plant functional traits. We also tested the Pearson correlation coefficient of community α diversity and functional traits between forest community and understory herb layer. We found that 1) 9 environment factors had a poor power to explain the change of both forest community and understory herb layer. However, the axis 1 of CCA could distinguish the altitude range of each plot in both mode. 2) Along the elevation, the Shannon-Wiener index of forest community at first increased and then decreased while the Shannon-Wiener index of understory herb layer decreased monotonously. 3)The Shannon-Wiener index of both community and herb layer was independence to slope and Woody species layer cover degree(WCD).The axis 1 of RDA which related to altitude could explain 71.2% of total trait variation for forest communi
