稳定性同位素技术在生态学上的应用

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 稳定性同位素技术早在20世纪70年代末期就被引入到生态学领域.最初是利用植物稳定性碳同位素的差异,开展了许多有关营养流动方面的研究;到0年代,稳定性碳和氮同位素被用来分析动物的食性、营养级位置关系以及食物链结构;本世纪初,由于技术的进步,稳定性同位素(特别是氢同位素)被用来开展动物迁徙习性方面的研究.到目前为止,国内有关这方面的研究还鲜有报道,而且对自然界存在的稳定性同位素的理解还存在一定偏差.本文主要介绍了稳定性同位素效应及其分馏原理、稳定性同位素在示踪动物食性信息、确定营养级位置关系、分析食物网结构以及研究动物迁徙生态学中的作用等方面的内容.

Abstract: Great progress has been made in stable isotope approach to diet composition,migration and trophic position relationships as well as food webs in ecosystems in the last century.However,fewer domestic reports touched on this subject.It is necessary to mention isotopic effect and measurement of isotopes and to explain how to apply this technique to diet information,migration and trophic position relationships and food web analyses of ecosystems.
