摘要: 为了探讨灌木植物在干旱区“山地-荒漠-绿洲”景观构型下的群落物种组成和多样性变化规律以及灌木地景观特点,本文对额尔齐斯河流域典型地区灌木物种进行样方调查和区系分析,运用TWINSPAN分类方法对其进行分类,计算群落多样性指数,分析研究区的灌木地景观的群落多样性。研究区被调查的植物有185种(灌木植物44种,草本植物141种),隶属于33科123属,其中以蔷薇科、菊科、藜科等西北干旱区的优势科居多。灌木物种的植物区系以北温带分布和地中海区、西亚至中亚分布为主。研究区灌木植物群落可划分为9种灌木群落类型或灌木地景观类型,分属平原和河谷灌丛、山地灌丛和平原荒漠类型,其群落多样性指数中,多样性指数、均匀度指数和丰富度指数的变化趋势基本一致,优势度指数则与前三者呈负消长的关系;随着海拔升高,多样性指数、均匀度指数和丰富度指数变化均呈现单峰分布格局。灌木群落结构比较简单,物种组成相对稀少,物种分布不均匀,这与研究区所处的干旱区地理背景和灌木植物或群落生境条件有关。

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the species composition, species diversity of shrub communities under “mountaindesertoasis” landscape configuration in an arid region of Xinjiang. According to quadrat sampling, shrub communities were classified by TWINSPAN classification method, and the community diversity indexes were calculated. A total of 185 species were identified, including 44 shrub species and 141 herb species, belonging to 123 genera and 33 families. Most of plants belonged to Rosaceae, Compositae and Chenopodiaceae, which were the dominant families in arid regions of northwest China. The flora of shrub species was dominated by the North temperate, the ancient Mediterranean and West Asia to Central Asia components. Shrub communities could be divided into 9 types of shrub community or shrub landscape, including plain and valley shrub, montane scrub and plain desert type. The Shannon diversity index, Pielou evenness index and species richness index showed a similar pattern, being opposite to the dominance index. Moreover, with the increase of the altitude, the Shannon diversity index, Pielou evenness index and species richness index showed a single peak distribution pattern. Our results indicated that the shrub community structure in the study area was relatively simple, the compositional species were relatively few, and the species distribution was not uniform, which may be related to the geographical background and the habitat conditions of shrub plants in arid areas.
