摘要:

生物多样性在调节生态系统功能方面发挥着重要作用。火是森林生态系统中的重要干扰因子, 森林地上、地下生物多样性和生态系统功能会因火的作用发生显著变化。然而, 对于计划火烧后生物多样性如何影响森林生物量积累和养分可利用性等相关生态系统功能(即: 生态系统多功能性(EMF))的认识仍知之甚少。该研究选择了黑龙江省鹤岗市红旗林场2018年开展计划火烧的红松(Pinus koraiensis)人工林, 在火后4年林内环境趋于稳定时, 使用结构方程模型评估了计划火烧后林下植物多样性(物种多样性、功能多样性、效率性状和数量性状)和土壤微生物(真菌和细菌)多样性与EMF的关系, 发现计划火烧增加了林下植物多样性和EMF。植物多样性中数量性状(单位面积叶片总氮含量)和功能多样性(叶干物质含量的功能分散指数)与EMF均显著正相关, 地下微生物多样性对EMF的作用不显著。计划火烧对EMF变异的解释度最高(33.7%), 其次是数量性状(27.5%)和功能多样性(13.9%)。研究结果表明, 在红松人工林, 增加群落内林下植被的养分积累和植物性状的多样性是提高计划火烧后EMF的有效策略。在全球变化背景下的森林管理中, 计划火烧不仅是降低森林火险的有效方式, 同时也将对维护林下植被生物多样性和EMF起到积极作用。

Abstract:

Aims Biodiversity plays an important role in regulating ecosystem functioning. Fire is an important ecological factor in forest ecosystems, and can significantly affects both above- and below-ground biodiversity, as well as ecosystem functions. However, how biodiversity affects ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) after prescribed burning, such as forest biomass accumulation and nutrient availability, is still less understood.
Methods In this study, we investigated Pinus koraiensis plantations in Hongqi Forestry Farm, Hegang, Heilongjiang, four years after the prescribed burning was conducted in 2018 (when the forest environment has stabilized). We used structural equation modeling to assess the relationships of understory plant diversity (species and functional diversity, efficiency and quantity traits) and soil microbial diversity (fungi and bacteria) with EMF.
Important findings We found that prescribed burning increased both understory plant diversity and EMF. Out of various above and belowground diversity metrics, Traitquantity (i.e., total leaf nitrogen per unit area) and functional diversity (i.e., functional dispersion (FDis) based on leaf dry matter content) were significantly and positively correlated with EMF, while the effect of belowground microbial diversity on EMF was not significant. The prescribed burning explained the highest proportion of variations in EMF (33.7%), followed by Traitquantity (27.5%) and functional diversity (13.9%). The results suggest that in P. koraiensis plantations, enhancing nutrient accumulation and trait diversity in the understory layer is an effective strategy to improve EMF after prescribed burning. Meanwhile, in forest management in the context of global change, prescribed burning is not only an effective way to reduce forest fire risks, but may also play a positive role in maintaining understory biodiversity and EMF.
