摘要:

稳定同位素技术的发展和应用是20世纪90年代生态学研究方法最重要的进步之一.许多生态学过程都伴随着同位素比率的变化,根据这些变化可以追踪生态系统的物质循环和能量流动.近年来,许多学者把稳定同位素技术引入到土壤生态学,主要用于研究土壤碳循环和土壤生物之间的营养关系,在很大程度上提升了对地下生态系统的理解.跳虫作为土壤动物群落的重要组分,它的食性和营养位置一直存在着许多不确定性.稳定同位素技术的应用,为确定跳虫的食物来源、营养位置和营养关系提供了一个强大的工具.本文综述了稳定同位素技术在跳虫食性和营养级研究上的应用,并指出了不足之处以及今后的发展方向.
 

Abstract:

The development and application of stable isotope techniques is one of the most important progress in ecological methodologies in the 1990s. Many ecological processes are accompanied with the changes of stable isotopes ratio. According to these changes, the material circulation and energy flow of ecosystems can be followed. In recent years, many researchers introduced stable isotope techniques in soil ecology to study the soil carbon cycle and the trophic relationships between soil organisms, which greatly improved our understanding on belowground ecosystem. As for collembolan, one of the most important members of soil animals, its feeding habits and trophic position in soil ecosystem are little known. Stable isotope techniques provide a useful approach to study the food resources, trophic position, and trophic relationships of collembolan. This paper summarized the applications of stable isotope techniques in the studies of the feeding habits and trophic position of collembolan, and discussed the deficiencies and prospects of related researches.
