摘要/Abstract

摘要： 利用协方差分析、曲线回归拟合及典范对应分析(CCA)，研究了地形因子对桂西南喀斯特森林地表植物多样性及不同生长型地表植物分布格局的影响.结果表明：共调查到152种地表植物，其中，蕨类植物37种、草本44种、藤本9种、灌木62种；协方差分析显示，海拔与地表植物个体数和丰富度显著相关，坡向对地表植物丰富度具有显著影响；地表植物的个体数和丰富度与海拔梯度存在显著的非线性相关性；CCA分析显示，坡向对蕨类植物的分布格局影响显著，坡度对草本、藤本和灌木的分布格局影响显著.蕨类植物对坡向引起的水热条件改变响应更为敏感，坡度对土壤水分、养分的作用大于高程，是影响本区域草本、藤本和灌木3种地表植物分布的主要地形因子.

Abstract: Covariance analysis, curvefitting, and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) were used to explore the effects of topographic factors on the plant diversity and distribution patterns of ground flora with different growth forms in the karst mountains of Southwest Guangxi, China. A total of 152 ground plants were recorded. Among them, 37 species were ferns, 44 species herbs, 9 species lianas, and 62 species shrubs. Covariance analysis revealed that altitude significantly correlated with the individual number and richness of ground plants, and slope aspect had a significant effect on richness. Statistical analyses showed a highly significant nonlinear correlation between the individual number or richness of ground plants and altitude. Results of CCA revealed that slope aspect had a significant effect on the distribution pattern of ferns, and slope had a significant effect on the distribution patterns of herbs, lianas and shrubs. Ferns were more sensitive than herbs, lianas and shrubs to changes in heat and soil water caused by aspect. The effect of slope was stronger than that of elevation on soil water and nutrients, and it was the most important topographic factor that affected the distribution patterns of herbs, lianas and shrubs in this region.
