摘要: 2003年9月—2005年11月,在位于南京市紫金山南麓的灵谷寺森林中,研究了鸟类对湘楠(Phoebe hunanensis)种子的取食与传播作用。乌鸫(Turdus merula)、黑脸噪鹛(Garrulax perspicillatus)、黑领噪鹛(G. pectoralis)、红嘴蓝鹊(Urocissa erythrorhyncha)和灰喜鹊(Cyanopica cyana)等5种鸟类取食湘楠的肉质核果后,主要以将果核呕出的方式传播种子。发芽试验显示,湘楠种子的萌发并不依赖于鸟类消化道的处理,但鸟类呕出种子的早期出苗率较高,且鸟类可以在较大空间范围内将其种子传播至一些适宜于种子萌发及幼苗定居的生境中。可能由于鸟类对湘楠种子的传播作用,1961年从外地引种栽培于灵谷寺森林边缘的27棵湘楠母树已经繁衍出数千棵实生苗及小树,并在母树周围约300 m范围内的天然落叶阔叶林及栽培的桂花林中成功地定居下来,既增加了灵谷寺森林中常绿树种种类,又促进了该地森林植物群落的演替和发展。

Abstract: From September 2003 to November 2005, an investigation on the seed ingestion and dispersal of Phoebe hunanensis by birds was conducted in the Spirit Valley forest at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, East China. Five resident bird species Turdus merula, Garrulax perspicillatus, G. pectoralis, Urocissa erythrorhyncha, and Cyanopica cyana were observed to frequently ingest the fleshy drupes in P. hunanensis crown, and to help the seed dispersal by rejecting the drupes stone after ingestion. The germination of P. hunanensis seeds was not affected after the ingestion by birds, but the seedlings emergence rate of the rejected seeds was higher. The birds could disperse the seeds wider to the habitats favorable to the seed germination, seedling survival, and population establishment of P. hunanensis. Possibly due to the seed dispersal of P.hunanensis by birds, twenty seven mother trees initially introduced and cultivated at the edges of the Spirit Valley forest in 1961 had multiplied into thousands of saplings and young trees, which were successfully settled in the areas within a distance of about 300 m around the mother trees. As a result, the species composition of evergreen trees in the Spirit Valley forest became richer, and the succession and development of forest community in study area was promoted.
