以柠条锦鸡儿(Caragana korshinskii)灌丛引入形成荒漠草原-灌丛地镶嵌体为研究对象,选择其内部荒漠草地(DG)、草地边缘(GE)、灌丛边缘(SE)、灌丛地(SL)为试验样地,开展荒漠草原向灌丛地人为稳态转变过程土壤水分与植被变化特征研究。结果如下:各样地0-200 cm土层水分含量随着转变过程呈显著降低趋势(P<0.05),其中荒漠草地、草地边缘和灌丛边缘样地的土壤水分均在秋季雨水补充期增加,灌丛地由于深层土壤水分过度消耗而愈加降低,且灌丛边缘和灌丛地深层水分显著低于荒漠草地、草地边缘(P<0.05),垂直动态不显著;地上植被随样地转变除优势度指数表现为灌丛地多样性、均匀度、丰富度指数均显著低于各样地(P<0.05),多年生优势草本蒙古冰草(Agropyron mongolicum)、短花针茅(Stipa breviflora)逐渐被一年生草本刺藜(Dysphania aristata)、猪毛蒿(Artemisia scoparia)所代替;土壤种子库萌发种类随样地转变逐渐减少,种子库密度则显著升高(P<0.05),灌丛地以一年生草本植物为主(占总密度的97.51%),荒漠草地则以多年生草本萌发为主,且各样地土壤萌发种子库及多年生草本多集中于0-5 cm土层(P<0.05);转变过程荒漠草原和灌丛地植被地上地下相似度分别为0.14和0.19,均显著低于两边缘样地0.35,较两边缘样地群落更为稳定,呈现草原灌丛化过程中草地-灌丛共存的植被双稳态特征。;In this paper, desert grassland, grassland edge, shrub and shrubland were selected as four transition sites in a typical anthropogenic grassland-shrubland mosaic steppe of eastern Ningxia, China.

Shifting Mosaics in Semi-Steppe Rangelands Driven by Interactive Effect of Human Made Disturbances
Semi-steppe rangelands are a complex, highly dynamic and often multi-layered mosaic of grassland, shrubland, and intermediate communities. A few recent studies have explicitly or implicitly developed synthetic hypotheses about how interactive effects of human made disturbances initiate dynamic changes in plant community composition to cause a shifting mosaic of vegetation pattern across the lan...

متن کاملSubdominant species distribution in microsites around two life forms at a desert grassland-shrubland transition zone
Question: In the same landscape context – at a desert grassland-shrubland transition zone, how does subdominant plant abundance vary in microsites around dominant grasses and shrubs? Location: Sevilleta LTER, New Mexico, USA (34°21' N; 106°53' W; 1650 m a.s.l.). Methods: We compared the distribution of subdominant plants in canopy, canopy edge and interspace microsites around individual shrubs ...
متن کاملAssessing vegetation structure and ANPP dynamics in a grassland–shrubland Chihuahuan ecotone using NDVI–rainfall relationships
Climate change and the widespread alteration of natural habitats are major drivers of vegetation change in drylands. In the Chihuahuan Desert, large areas of grasslands dominated by perennial grass species have transitioned over the last 150 years to shrublands dominated by woody species, accompanied by accelerated water and wind erosion. Multiple mechanisms drive the shrub-encroachment process...
