2020, 41(5): 1-6. doi: 10.12172/202004270005
Abstract:
Based on the landscape distribution map in 2012 and 2019 in the early stage of urban construction of Chengdu Tianfu New District, the landscape pattern change was studied by using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and Spatial Pattern Analysis Program for Categorical Maps (Fragstats) softwares, so as to characterize the landscape pattern changes of the focus area. The results showed that: (1) At present, the landscape composition of Tianfu New District was mainly farm land, and the forest, grassland and urban land were closely related to farm land, which was an important functional patch in the landscape. Forest, grassland and wetland patches had low proximity, poor connectivity and high fragmentation. (2) From 2012 to 2019, the area of the urban land, traffic land, forests, grasslands and wetland increased, and only the area of the farm land decreased. The functional connection of the urban and traffic land was enhanced and the aggregation degree of the traffic land increased obviously, while the proximity of the farm land decreased and the degree of the separation and fragmentation increased. (3) During the past 7 years, the characteristics of the landscape patterns of the focus area were including increases of separation, mixedness, fragmentation, diversity and evenness in landscape level. Based on the above results, some protection measures were put forward, such as constructing two parallel vegetation landscape belts, strengthening wetland network, balancing the area of the urban and farm land, and improving ecological function of the traffic land.

LIU Shijie, PENG Jian, MO Jinyan, LI Xiaoqing, GU Yunjie
2020, 41(5): 19-25. doi: 10.12172/202003050001
Abstract:
The influence of stand density on species composition and diversity of associated plants and understory vegetation, as well as natural capacity, is the basis of studying the relationship between forest structure and function, community stability, genetic conservation and natural forests management technology. The species and quantity of all trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants in the standard plot of different stand densities were recorded by the standard plot survey method, and the diversity indexes were calculated and analyzed. At the same time, the number of natural regeneration seedlings under different density stands was recorded. The results showed that there were nine species of associated trees and 17 species of understory shrubs and herbaceous plants. The sensitivity of tree, shrub and herb species richness to the change of stand density was basically the same from the analysis of different cross degrees. From the range of species richness, trees, shrubs and herbs were more sensitive to the change of stand density. The response of understory vegetation diversity to the continuous increase of stand density was reflected as a non-single change trend. With the increase of stand density, the diversity index of stand vegetation increased at first and then decreased, showing a bimodal response pattern. In the study area, the natural spruce stands maintained a high level of understory species diversity within the density range of 400-499 ·hm-2 trees. The natural regeneration ability of Picea brachytyla natural forest was poor, and natural regeneration seedlings were found in only four density stands. Therefore, in the process of genetic conservation, the stand density should be adjusted reasonably to promote natural regeneration of Picea brachytyla natural forest.

LIU Zan, HU Lizhi, YANG Lu, WEN Liang
2020, 41(5): 26-33. doi: 10.12172/202004270003
Abstract:
In order to explore the differences of growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Phoebe zhennan saplings in three types of soil conditions (broad-leaved forest humus soil (HS), purple soil (PS), alluvial soil (AS)), 2-years-old Phoebe zhennan saplings were taken as study material, which were planted in three types of soil conditions and the saplings morphology and photosynthetic indicators were determined in May, July and October. The results showed that: (1) Phoebe zhennan saplings planted in HS had the best growth, with more growth in plant height and ground diameter, which was obviously higher than that in PS and AS, but there was no obvious difference in morphological growth between the latter two saplings; (2) The saplings planted in HS had the highest levels of chlorophyll a(Chl a), chlorophyll b(Chl b) and carotenoids (Car) content, and the overall leaf pigment content was HS > PS > AS; (3) The overall performance of net photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs) and transpiration rate (Tr) of saplings was HS > PS > AS; (4) The light saturation point (LSP) and CO2 saturation point (CSP) of saplings in HS were higher than those of PS and AS, while the light compensation point (LCP) and CO2 compensation point (CCP) were lower than those of PS and AS, indicating that saplings planted in HS had higher photosynthetic efficiency and could accumulat more organic matter. The research showed that Phoebe zhennan saplings grown best in forest humus soil (HS), followed by purple soil (PS), and alluvial soil (AS) was the worse. In practice, it is necessary to avoid planting on alluvial soil with heavy viscosity, low porosity and poor ventilation, unless there is special need.

2020, 41(5): 50-53. doi: 10.12172/202004270004
Abstract:
Interplanting edible fungi under bamboo forest is an efficient management model in recent years, which was mainly carried out under Phyllostachys heterocycle in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the past. In order to verify the feasibility and benefits of interplanting edible fungi under bamboo forest in the cluster area of bamboo industry development in southern Sichuan, the effects of different bamboo forest types (scattered, clustered and mixed bamboo) and different stand canopy densities on the yield of Stropharia rugosannulata and Dictyophora indusiata were investigated in the planting industrial park in Wugao of Xuyong County, and the economic benefits of the interplanting model were analyzed as Phyllostachys heterocycle. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the yield of Stropharia rugosannulata and Dictyophora indusiata under different bamboo forests, but the canopy density had a significant impact on it, among which Stropharia rugosannulata had the highest yield at 0.7~0.75 and Dictyophora indusiata had the highest yield at 0.8~0.85. The net income of interplanting Stropharia rugosannulata and Dictyophora indusiata under Phyllostachys heterocycle forest was as high as 105779 and 16395 yuan per hectare, which were 19.6 and 30.4 times higher than that of Phyllostachys heterocycle monoculture, repectively. Bamboo-fungi interplanting model combines bamboo and edible fungi, which is a circular economy model with resource sharing, complementary advantages and strong feasibility.

Abstract:
Dwarf bamboos are the main food resources for the giant panda, which are the basis for the survival and reproduction of the giant panda. The research on the giant panda’s staple diet is of great significance for the protection of the giant panda. In this study, the staple food bamboo of the giant panda in Baishuihe National Nature Reserve was taken as the research object, and the species, population characteristics and environmental factors of staple food bamboo were stuied by sample line and quadrat method. The results were as follows: (1) There were 7 bamboo species in Baishuihe National Nature Reserve, including White bamboo clip (Phyllostachys bissetii), Thorn black bamboo (Chimonobambusa neopurpurea), Bamboo with short cone (Yushania brevipaniculata), broadleaf bamboo (Indocalamus longiauritus), cold arrow bamboo (Bashania fangiana), Bamboo stick (Fargesia robusta), Twigs arrow bamboo (F. stenoclada), which were mainly distributed below 3000 m above sea level and grown well by cloning. (2) Among the 7 bamboo species, the quadrat ratio of 1-year-old clonal ramets was 47.1%−100%, the quadrat ratio of 1-year-old clonal ramets per unit area was 7.5%−25.9%, and the quadrat ratio of bamboo death was 23.5%−100%. (3) The density range of clonal ramets of 7 bamboo species was 14.5−48.8 /m2, among which the density range of 1-year-old clonal ramets was 2−6/m2. (4) The average diameter of clonal ramets of 7 bamboo species was 5.2−8.4 mm, and the average height was 110.9−189.0 cm. (5) Altitude only had a significant effect on the density of cold arrow bamboo (P<0.05), but had no significant impact on the density of the other 6 bamboo species (P>0.05). (6) The canopy density only had a significant effect on the density, basal diameter and height of Twigs arrow bamboos (P<0.01), but had no significant effect on the other 6 bamboo species (P>0.05). (7) Giant panda mainly feed on short cone Yushan bamboo and Twigs arrow bamboo, which were widely distributed and less affected by slope and aspect. It’s suggested that the short cone Yushan bamboo and Twigs arrow bamboo should be replanted properly in the habitat and potential habitat of the giant panda, in order to form mixed bamboo forests with different ages and multiple bamboo species.

Abstract:
As one of the most important food resources for Ailuropoda melanoleuca in Minshan Mountains, the edibility study of Fargesia denudata is the key to evaluate the nutritional status and palatability for A. melanoleuca. In order to reveal the effects of different light intensity on the nutritional contents and palatability of F. denudata, the edible contents in its shoots, stems and leaves of F. denudata, which grown in natural forest understory, forest edge and forest gap in Wang Lang National Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province, were analyzed. The results were as follows: (1) the low light intensity environment in forest understory was beneficial for the accumulation of total phenols in the bamboo shoots, but unbeneficial for the accumulation of crude protein, crude fat and total amino acids. It was beneficial for the accumulation of crude protein, crude fat, total amino acids in stems, but unbeneficial for the accumulation of cellulose. It was beneficial for the accumulation of total amino acids, cellulose in leaves, but unbeneficial for the accumulation of crude protein and tannin. (2) The middle medium light intensity environment in forest gap was beneficial for the accumulation of crude fat, total amino acids in shoots of F. denudata, but unbeneficial for the accumulation of crude protein in stems and leaves, and unbeneficial for the accumulation of crude protein, cellulose and total phenols in leaves. (3) The high light intensity environment in forest gap was beneficial for the accumulation of crude protein in the bamboo shoots, and unbeneficial for the accumulation of total amino acids, total phenols. It is beneficial for the accumulation of cellulose in stems, and unbeneficial for the accumulation of crude protein, crude fat, total amino acids. It is beneficial for the accumulation of crude protein, tannin, total phenols in leaves, and unbeneficial for the accumulation of total amino acids, cellulose. These results indicated that different light intensity had different effects on the edible contents in shoots, stems and leaves of F. denudata. It would be advisable to increase the comparative study of different bamboo species, different organs and different microenvironment in the the edible bamboo studies for A. melanoleuca, which may enrich the research content of edible bamboo species in different growth environments.

2020, 41(5): 111-115. doi: 10.12172/202004300002
Abstract:
The food habits of sambar deer, an animal accompanied with the giant panda, were analyzed for six months by means of microscopic image analysis of feces in Wuyi Shed, Wolong National Nature Reserve. The results showed that sambar deer had the habit of eating bamboo leaves, and the amount of bamboo leaves they consumed changed with the season. When the food was abundant, they ofen feed on woody leaves and dicotyledonous herbs, and the proportion of bamboo leaves was relatively low. With the advent of winter, the food resources were reduced, the sambar deer would gradually increase their dependence on bamboo leaves, especially in February with thick snow. The relative density of bamboo leaves residues in feces was as high as 91.82%. At least in winter, the feeding activities of sambar deer establisded the food competition relationship with giant pandas. Effective management and control of sambar deer density is one of the measures to be considered in the habitat protection of giant pandas.

2020, 41(5): 127-132. doi: 10.12172/202005120002
Abstract:
In order to provide reference for the ecological construction of sloping orchards in Three Gorges Reservoir area, relevant literatures about sloping orchards management and vegetation restoration were extensively reviewed, and the main ecological control measures and the eco-economic benefits were summarized. At present, there were four main measures to control soil erosion in sloping orchard including slope to terrace, plant hedge, tree-crop intercropping and mulching methods between agriculture and forestry, and the benefits were manifested in the following 4 aspects: controlling soil erosion, reducing nutrient loss, increasing soil fertility and increasing economic value. The soil and water conservation function of changing slope to terrace was remarkable, and the combination of plant hedge, covering technology and intercropping between agriculture and forestry had higher practical values and economic benefits. In the ecological treatment and vegetation restoration of sloping orchards in the reservoir area, relative factors such as topography, slope, climate, local social and economic development level and labor force status should be considered comprehensively. It would be more efficient to control soil and water loss of sloping orchards by combing engineering means with vegetation measures, and give full play to the eco-economic benefits of shrub and grass plants such as plant hedge, forage grass and crop.
