Quantitative characteristics of degenerative succession in Festuca sinensis sowing grassland in the alpine pastoral area

Abstract

Abstract: Quantitative characteristics of degenerative succession in Festuca sinensis sowing grassland in the alpine pastoral area were studied. The results showed that with the succession developing,number of species,richness index,diversity index,and evenness index were all increased,but ecological dominance was decreased. Analysis on important values,niche width,and niche overlaps proved that some herb species such as Ajania tenuifolia and Polygomum sibiricum were pioneer plants invading sowing grassland in the succession process. The pioneer plants had wider niche widths than other species,and their important values increased with the succession developing.Niche overlaps between Festuca sinensis and other species were smaller than that between two latifoliate herbs species in most case. The invasion of latifoliate herbs was one of the most important factors,which made the sowing grassland more degenerative.

Key words: Festuca sinensis, Degenerative succession, Sowing grassland, nitrogen sources, nitrogen utilization, high fertility, genotype, peanut
