Effects of tending on functional diversity of understory vegetation in Pinus tabuliformis plantation on the Loess Plateau
摘要
Abstract
Understory vegetation is an important component of forest ecosystem.Restoring understory biodiversity is one of the primary objectives in forest management.The special geographic environment on the Loess Plateau has resulted in poor availability of effective understory tending measures.Furthermore,previous studies on changes of understory vegetation diversity in post-tending forests have mostly focused upon species diversity,but rarely upon functional diversity.The present study investigated the differences of the functional diversity in the understory between the tended and untended Pinus tabuliformis plantations on the Loess Plateau.The results showed that:(1) Soil temperature,moisture,salinity and indirect site factor significantly increased under the tended forest.(2) The tended forest was significantly higher than the untended forest in leaf area (LA),leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and leaf thickness (Lth) of the herb layer,but was significantly lower in specific leaf area (SLA).Lth of the shrub layer was significantly higher in the tended forest than that in the untended forest.(3) For single-trait functional diversity indices,the tended forest exhibited significantly higher functional richness (FRci) of LA,SLA and Lth of the herb layer,lower functional regularity (FRO) of SLA and LDMC of the herb layer and higher functional divergence (FDvar) of SLA and FRci of Lth of the shrub layer than did the untended forest.(4) For multi-trait functional diversity indices,the tended forest displayed significantly higher functional richness (FRic) of the herb layer,significantly lower functional evenness (FEve) and functional divergence (FDiv) of the herb layer,and significantly higher FEve of the shrub layer than the untended forest.These findings suggested that forest tending improved the understory environmental conditions.Tending exerted obviously greater effects upon the herb layer than upon the shrub layer.Properly raising the intensity of tending may further improve the functional diversity of understory vegetation.关键词
