摘要/Abstract

摘要： 2014—2018年8月在内蒙古锡林郭勒盟毛登牧场大针茅典型草原,以围封为对照,设置2、5和8 cm 3个刈割留茬高度,研究刈割留茬高度对群落结构及稳定性的影响。结果表明: 群落中共出现15科23属27种植物;优势种为大针茅、知母、羊草及糙隐子草,累计相对重要值为76.1%。多年生杂类草15种,一、二年生植物5种,多年生丛生禾草和灌木半灌木植物各有3种,多年生根茎禾草有1种。大针茅等处于群落上层;知母、羊草等植物处于群落中层;糙隐子草、刺穗藜、猪毛菜等植物处于群落底层。刈割造成大针茅及多年生丛生禾草相对重要值降低,使得糙隐子草、刺穗藜、猪毛菜及一、二年生植物相对重要值增加。留茬2 cm降低羊草相对重要值,而留茬5、8 cm使其增加;留茬5 cm增加知母相对重要值,而留茬2、8 cm使其降低;留茬8 cm降低杂类草相对重要值,而留茬2、5 cm使其增加。物种及功能群多样性年度间差异显著。总体上,刈割对物种丰富度无显著影响,对其物种多样性影响较小,但对功能群多样性存在一定影响。表明在刈割过程中,群落各功能群存在一定的补偿作用,使得群落保持相对稳定。刈割使群落稳定性增加,留茬5和8 cm时群落稳定性较大;留茬5 cm时群落变异性较大,而留茬8 cm时最小。留茬8 cm时群落稳定性高且变异性小,能促进群落长期稳定。

Abstract: We examined the effects of mowing height on community structure and stability in August from 2014 to 2018 in a Stipa grandis steppe of Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, China. Three mowing height treatments (2, 5 and 8 cm) were manipulated, with enclosure as the control. Results showed that 27 species from 23 genera of 15 families were recorded in the community. The community was dominated by S. grandis, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Leymus chinensis and Cleistogenes squarrosa. The cumulative relative importance value of those four species was 76.1%. Of all species, there were 15 perennial forbs, 5 annuals & biennials, 3 perennial bunch grasses, 3 shrubs & semi-shrubs, and 1 perennial rhizome grasses. S. grandis was in the upper layer of the community, L. chinensis and A. asphodeloides were in the middle layer, C. squarrosa, Chenopodium aristatum and Salsola collina were at the bottom layer. Mowing decreased the relative importance value (RIV) of S. grandis and perennial bunch grasses, but increased that of C. squarrosa, C. aristatum, S. collina and annuals & biennials. The RIV of L. chinensis was decreased in the 2 cm treatment but increased in the 5 cm and 8 cm treatments. The RIV of A. asphodeloides was increased in the 5 cm treatment but decreased in both the 2 cm and 8 cm treatments. The RIV of perennial forbs was decreased in the 8 cm treatment but increased in both the 2 cm and 5 cm treatments. Species and functional groups diversity showed significant interannual variation. Generally, species richness and diversity were little affected by mowing, while functional groups diversity was significantly impacted, indicating that compensation between different functional groups would stabilize the community under mowing. Mowing increased community stability. Community stability was higher in the 5 cm and 8 cm treatments, with the variability being larger in the 5 cm than in the 8 cm treatment. Therefore, the 8 cm treatment was beneficial for the stability and sustainable utilization of grassland community.

Key words: relative importance value, species diversity, functional group diversity, community stability
