Abstract:
In this paper based on the investigative data in a sample area of 7 000 m2,analysis was made of species composition, community structure and life form spectrum of the mid-mountain humid evergreen broad-leaved forest (MHEBF) in southern part of Mt. Gaoligong. The results showed that (1) there were 315 species of vascular plants, which belonged to 88 families and 164 genera. The main families were Lauraceae, Ericaceae,Liliaceae and Fagaceae. The main genera were Lindera,Viburnum,Polygonum and Symplocos. (2) The community could be divided into different levels, epiphyte species and hemiepiphyte species were rich,which indicated the moist habitat. (3) The microphanerophytes and mesophanerophytes were the dominant life form, which revealed the characteristic of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest. Microphyll, single leaf, papery leaf, non-entire margin leaf and acuminate leaf were dominant leaf characteristics. Temicryptophyte occupied the highest ratio, therophyte and geophyte were less, which showed the typical subtropical mountain forest community characteristics in Yunnan Province.

2014, 35(5): 8-12. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.003
Abstract:
The grassland ecosystem plays a very important role in the global carbon cycle. But the measured data is very lacking. In this paper,based on the ground survey data of the grassland in 2008 and satellite remote sensing data in Sichuan,the carbon storage in grassland ecosystem in Sichuan was estimated. The results showed that the total grassland area in Sichuan was about 22.43×104 km2 in 2008, and the total carbon storage in the grassland ecosystem in Sichuan was 2 302.97 Tg. The aboveground and underground carbon storage was 15.54 and 104.45 Tg C respectively. The underground carbon storage was about 6 times more than the aboveground; the soil organic carbon in Sichuan grassland was 2 182.98 Tg, which was about 19 times more than the vegetation carbon.

2014, 35(5): 13-16. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.004
Abstract:
The measurement was made of he growth traits of 4.5-year old young forest from 15 Liquidambar formosana geographic provenances, such as tree height, diameter at breast height(DBH), and crown breadth. The resuts of their variance and correlation analysis and genetic parameter estimation showed that there were significant differences among tree height,DBH and crown breadth among different Liquidambar formosana provenances. And the broad heritability of tree height and DBH were high,and was controlled by moderate genetic strength. There was an uncorrelated relation between tree height and DBH, but the crown breadth had a significant positive correlation with the latitude. The provenances could be divided into 4 provenance zones by using cluster analysis. As for the growth expression of young forest of Liquidambar formosana,the performance of the south provenance was worst,the performances of Sangzi town in middle provenance zone and Hucheng county in east provenance zone were best.

Abstract:
Firstly,analytic hierarchy process (ahp) was used for 20 selected tree species to conduct model choice,and then tree species of higher scores were used in the tree planting comparison test. The results showed that (1) after being selected by AHP model, the suitable tree species for mid-sichuan hilly regions were German oak,Cork oak, Robinia pseudoacacia,Alnus cremastogyne,Camptotheca acuminata,Cedrela sinensis,Masson pine,Cinnamomum camphora and Cupressusfunebris;while the suitable shrub species were Coriaria sinica,Vitex trifolia and Pyracantha fortuneana. (2)Analyzing from survival rate,preserving rate and growth condition, Cinnamomum camphora, Alnus cremastogyne, Camptotheca acuminata, Robinia pseudoacacia and Cedrela sinensis could be replanted in Cupressus funebris forest site conditions. Cedrela sinensis should be replanted in better site conditions, while Robinia pseudoacacia should be replanted in worse site conditions. Cinnamomum camphora and Quercus variabilis should be replanted in Pinus massoniana forest. But replanting Cinnamomum camphora should be done in the stand with thicker soil layer and higher soil water content. Two years old seedlings of all nursery were suitable for replanting.

LI Xin-bo, WU Xiao-hui, LI Xu-jia, SONG Peng
2014, 35(5): 29-36. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.007
Abstract:
Sichuan Province is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The quality of its ecological environment not only has a direct bearing on the regional ecological security, but also it occupies a pivotal position in the ecological environment and the sustainable development of social economy of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. And yet soil erosion of this region has become the most serious ecological problem. In this paper by using the technique of GIS, analysis was made of the impact of rainfall factor,soil factor,topography factor and vegetation coverage on soil erosion sensitivity based on universal soil erosion equation. On this basis of overlapping operations of the single factor, thus an evaluation was gotten on soil erosion sensitivity of the study area by applying the spatial overlapping analysis functions of ArcGIS;Discussion was made on the soil erosion sensitivity space dividing rule of different terrain features effected by different leading factors. The results showed that the soil erosion sensitivity of the study area was mainly based on the high,middle and extreme sensitivity,the mild sensitivity and insensitivity constituted a relatively minor proportion, the spatial distribution regularity of soil erosion sensibility was obvious; The area was separated by the Longmen Mountains in the center of Sichuan province and the middle reaches of the Yalong River in southwest of Sichuan province, the sensitivity of most parts of the western area was moderate and low, the most parts of the eastern area were high and extreme sensitive areas. It indicated that the degree of soil erosion sensitivity coincided with the existing overall distribution; Rainfall, soil texture, topographic, vegetation coverage and other natural factors were potential conditions of occurrence and development of soil erosion, vegetation converage in the study area was affected by human activity more significantly than other factors. Therefore, when it was extremely difficult to change its natrual factors, protection of the exsiting primeval forest vegetation in study area and adequate restoration of ecosystem had important implications for soil erosion control.

SONG Xue-gui, WANG Bin, ZHOU Guang-liang, HU Hong-lin
2014, 35(5): 40-44. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.009
Abstract:
Pot experiments were conducted with 5 watering treatments (watering to 80% field capacity, then stopping watering,followed by drought stress of 16 days,12 days,8 days,4 days and 0 day) on fragile willow saplings. Photosynthetic indicators of fragile willow were determined and analyzed under different drought stress. And the change of photosynthetic indicators of fragile willow after re-watering were observed. The results showed as follows:1) with the increase of drought stress, the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of fragile willow saplings decreased significantly,stomatal conductance (Gs) and transpiration rate (Tr) overall decreased,and intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) decreased at first and then increased. 2) After re-watering the sapling for 72 and 120 hours, the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs),the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and the transpiration rate (Tr) increased significantly. 3) Fragile willow adopted such a drought avoidance strategy as turning yellow,wilting,curling and drying off of leaves and wilting and sagging of terminal buds to cope with drought stress.

HAN Su-ju
2014, 35(5): 45-48. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.010
Abstract:
In order to investigate the effects of shading on the growth and development of Davidia involucrata seedlings,a comparative study was made of the photosynthetic characteristics and growth characteristics of D. involucrata seedlings. The one-year old D. involucrata seedlings cultivated were used as experimental materials under different light intensity (100%,50% and 25%). The results showed that (1) the daily net photosynthetic rates of different shading treatments of D. involucrata seedlings were all bimodal curves and "Midday depression" phenomenon was observed. But under different light intensity the value and time of the peak were different. The daily variation trend of transpiration rate under different light intensity was different and in an order of one-layer shading (5%) > two-layer shading (25%) > full sunlight.. (2) The average leaf area,specific leaf area and leafstalk length of Davidia involucrate under shading were larger than those of Davidia involucrate under full sunlight. It indicated that Davidia involucrate had strong ability of utilizing the limited low light resource. This study showed that Davidia involucrata seedlings grew best under appropriate shading(50% Transmittance).

LUO Yong, HUANG Yan, LIU Yang, LI De-sheng, ZHANG He-min
2014, 35(5): 59-64. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.013
Abstract:
Communication behavior of animals is very important for their survival. Its main features are identification (including individual identification,species identification,population identification and social class identification),breeding,alarming and so on. Visual communication,acoustic communication,chemical communication and tactile communication are the common means of communication used by the animal. Among them,the sound signal has such many good traits as long distance propagation, high speed, without leaving any traces and so on. When the visual signal does not work (at night or in jungle), the sound signal also can effectively convey information.. So, acoustic communication is widespread in animals. In recent years,the literature of animal acoustic communication research has gradually increased, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) acoustic communication has become a research hotspot. This paper reviews the animal acoustic communication and the latest correlation research of giant pandas and deals with application prospects of these researches in the giant panda conservation.

DENG Lin, YANG Guan-ying, WANG Li, YU Xiao-gang
2014, 35(5): 70-75,107. doi: 10.16779/j.cnki.1003-5508.2014.05.015
Abstract:
Taiwan is located in the southeastern margin of the mainland, lying in the Pacific seismic belt and the volcano belt, including Taiwan Island, Penghu islands and 86 islands. Taiwan is rich in forest resources. But its forest resources had gotten heavy deforestation and loss in the period of Japanese rule. After the victory of Anti-Japanese War, its forest protection and management underwent through a series of resource recovery process. In the 1970's, along with its economic takeoff, the ecologic benefit of the forest was evident and therefore the harvesting of forest resources gradually reduced. Until the 1980's, the state-owned forest harvesting stopped, and the protection and management of forest resources in Taiwan began to move in ecological conservation, forest recreation, city forest, community forestry development. Successful experience of the protection and management of forest resources in Taiwan has a certain reference value for Sichuan Province in forest resource protection,management and protection of the ecological environment and sustainable development.
