摘要:

中国南亚热带地区人口稠密,经济发展迅速,环境破坏严重,区域生态系统退化加剧。种植人工林被认为是减少水土流失、实现植被快速恢复的有效措施之一。目前对生态恢复过程中的人工林土壤养分含量、蓄水量、土壤酶活性等已开展了较多研究,但基于实测数据对不同人工林生态系统服务功能进行评估的研究较为少见。以广东鹤山10树种混交林(10 species mixed plantation,10NS)、16树种混交林(16 species mixed plantation,16NS)2种人工混交林,尾叶桉纯林(Eucalypyus urophylla monoculture,EU)、红锥纯林(Castanopsis hystrix monoculture,CM)、厚荚相思纯林(Acacia crassicaipa monoculture,AC)3种人工纯林和自然恢复的灌草坡(Shrub and herb land,SH)为研究对象,对其涵养水源、保育土壤、积累营养物质、固碳释氧、生物多样性保护等主要生态系统服务功能进行了评估,为南亚热带地区人工林合理种植和管理提供科学依据。结果表明,13林龄时,土壤保育能力为10树种混交林最强,红锥纯林最弱,尾叶桉纯林、厚荚相思纯林和灌草坡之间无显著差异;植被固碳释氧能力为10树种混交林、16树种混交林和尾叶桉纯林较高且无显著差异,红锥纯林最弱;涵养水源能力为灌草坡最强,其次为10树种混交林,尾叶桉纯林最差。研究表明,人工林改造或退化生态系统恢复时要注意结合不同人工林的生态系统服务功能进行科学种植:尾叶桉纯林土壤固碳作用和积累营养物质能力较强,宜作为用材林和碳汇林种植;厚荚相思纯林生物量较高且具有固氮作用,但抗风能力较弱,不适宜于沿海或台风多发地带种植;红锥纯林在保肥和水源涵养方面的生态服务功能相对较弱,但经济价值较高,适宜以大径材近自然林经营;10树种混交林的土壤养分含量最高且地表径流最小,林分调节水量和保育土壤功能最强,最适于生态恢复,可用作水土保持林、水源涵养林等,也可用于特种用途中的风景林建设。

Abstract:

The subtropical region of China is suffering severe environmental destruction and intensified regional ecosystem degradation due to the dense population and rapid economic development. Plantation is considered as one of the most effective measures to mitigate soil erosion and achieve rapid vegetation restoration. Most of the researches focuses on soil nutrient content, soil water storage, and soil enzyme activity of artificial forests during the restoration process. Whereas less attention is paid to the ecosystem services functions of the different plantations which are assessed by the above experimental data. This study evaluated the ecosystem service functions of 10 species mixed plantation (10NS), 16 species mixed plantation (16NS), Eucalypyus urophylla monoculture (EU), Castanopsis hystrix monoculture (CM), Acacia crassicaipa monoculture (AC) and shrub and herb land (SH) in Gonghe field Station, Heshan, Guangdong province, to provide a scientific base for the planting and management of the plantation. The evaluation indexes includes water conservation, soil conservation, nutrient accumulation, carbon fixation, oxygen released, and species conservation. At the 13th forest age, 10NS had the strongest function whereas CM had the weakest function of the soil conservation, and the differences among EU, AC and SH were insignificant (P<0.05). The function of forest carbon fixation and oxygen release in10NS, 16NS, EU and CM were similar, but SH showed the weakest effect. Besides, SH had the highest water conservation function, followed by the 10NS, and CM. These results together suggest that the ecosystem service function among different plantations should be considered for plantation reconstruction and restoration in the degraded ecosystem. In this study, EU is suitable for planting as the timber and carbon sink plantation species due to its strong ability in carbon fixation and nutrient accumulation. While AC is not suitable for planting in coastal or typhoon-prone areas because of its weaker wind resistance. Although CM has a weaker ecological service in soil and water conservation, it is suitable as the planting species of large-diameter timber since the higher economic value. 10NS plantation is the best choice for ecological restoration in the conservation of water and soil, as well as for the artificial scenic forest construction in special-purpose, due to its highest soil nutrient content, smallest surface runoff, and strongest water and soil conservation effect.
