摘要:

“常绿阔叶林”是中国最具特色的植被类型之一, 分布范围极广, 种类组成复杂, 群落类型多样, 分类十分困难, 存在众多争议。该文采用生态外貌-植物区系分类系统(EcoFloVCS), 其高级单位分类主要依据是生态外貌, 兼及区系, 共设5级: 群系纲(Formation Class)—群系亚纲(Formation Subclass)—群系组(Formation Group)—群系(Formation)—群落门(Division); 中、低级单位分类主要依据是植物区系, 兼及生态外貌和地理分布, 共设4级: 群落纲(Community Class)—群落目(Order)—群团(Alliance)—群丛(Association)。该文以中国常绿阔叶林为对象, 在2013年常绿阔叶林分类的基础上, 参照EcoFloVCS以及《植物社会学国际命名法规》(第4版)对其分类进行了修改和增订。目前共分为3个群系、3个群落门、9个群落纲、23个群落目和58个群团, 并对各群系的地理分布、优势层的优势种、鉴别种及其以下等级的划分进行了简要介绍; 基于现有植物样方数据, 共划分69个群丛和339个群落。更多信息将通过EBLF网站(http://EBLF.info)分享, 并将对分类系统持续进行增订。

Abstract:

Evergreen broad-leaved forest (EBLF) is one of the most typical vegetation types in China, with wide geographical distributions, complex species composition, and diverse community types. The EBLF classification is challenging and has not reached a consistent scheme. Here the recently developed “Ecophysiognomic-floristic vegetation classification system (EcoFloVCS)” was used to the EBLF classification. The high-level units of EcoFloVCS are mainly based on ecophysiognomy, with some considerations of floristic characteristics, including five units (Formation Class, Formation Subclass, Formation Group, Formation, and Division). The middle- and low-levels are mainly based on floristic characteristics, with some considerations of ecophysiognomy and geographical distributions, including four units (Community Class, Order, Alliance and Association). Following the previous EBLF classification in 2013, we had an update and revised classification system applied to China’s EBLF using the EcoFloVCS and the 4th edition of The International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature. Currently, the EBLF is classified into 3 formations, 3 divisions, 9 community classes, 23 orders, and 58 alliances. For three formations, we introduced shortly their geographic distributions, the dominant species of dominant layers, diagnostic species, and the classifications of the low-level units. Furthermore, we classified the alliances into 69 associations and 339 communities using the currently available plant vegetation data. More information have been added into the EBLF website (http://EBLF.info), and we will keep updates of the EBLF classification system through this website.
