权衡关系是生活史对策理论的基础,叶大小-数量的权衡关系对理解叶大小进化具有重要的意义。该研究以单叶面积和单叶片干重表示叶大小,用小枝干重和小枝茎干重表示小枝大小,采用标准化主轴估计(standardized major axis estima-tion,SMA...权衡关系是生活史对策理论的基础,叶大小-数量的权衡关系对理解叶大小进化具有重要的意义。该研究以单叶面积和单叶片干重表示叶大小,用小枝干重和小枝茎干重表示小枝大小,采用标准化主轴估计(standardized major axis estima-tion,SMA)和系统独立比较分析(phylogenetically independent contrast analysis,PIC)的方法,对浙江省清凉峰自然保护区3个不同海拔落叶阔叶木本植物当年生小枝内的叶大小与数量间的关系进行研究。结果显示,无论叶大小和小枝大小是用面积或干重表示,在每个海拔,叶大小与出叶强度均存在显著的等速负相关关系,表明在落叶阔叶木本植物中发现的叶大小与出叶强度之间的权衡关系在不同生境物种中是普遍存在的,植物在叶大小方面的种间变化,可能不是自然选择的直接产物,而是叶片数量变化权衡关系的一个副产物。不同海拔间的比较显示,高海拔物种的叶面积或干重与出叶强度相关关系的y轴截距比中、低海拔物种小,表明在出叶强度一定的情况下,高海拔物种比低海拔物种具有更小的叶大小。与高海拔物种相比,中海拔物种的共同斜率沿共同主轴有一个向上的位移,表明中海拔物种比高海拔物种具有更大的叶大小,但出叶强度更小。这些结果表明生境对叶大小-数量的权衡关系具有显著的影响,中海拔生境具有更适宜植物生长的气候及养分条件,而高海拔的低温等不利影响使得叶片变小。展开更多

Given the increase in the prevalence of isolated forest patches in the part of this hotspot, evaluation is necessary on how size of the remnant forest patches and on-going disturbances affects structure and diversity of remaining habitats including the population of some globally threatened tree species. Quantitative vegetation inventory by 500 m long and lO m wide （0.5 ha） line transects were randomly set in nine fragmented tropical semi-evergreen forest patches in Tripura, Northeast India. The studied forests patches grouped into small, medium and large based on their respected sizes. Spatial variability was analysed in woody species diversity and structure along the patch size gradients and their response to both patch size and anthropogenic disturbances. Out of 167 species, 13 identified as red-listed species by IUCN under the present inventory. Most of the diversity and structural parameters showed statistically significant positive response with the forest patch size, except for stand dominance, disturbance, sapling density and number of aggregated distribution pattern decreased when patch size increased. In addition, most of the diversity and structural attributes showed negative response with disturbances. Present baseline data would serve as an effective tool for management and protection of this important forest type. Future habitat restoration programme and strategies for relocation of additional population and re-introduction of those globally threatened trees are recommended.展开更多
