DONG Yan, JIA Feifei
2023, 44(3): 1-9. doi: 10.12172/202207190002
Abstract:
With the development of dendrochronology in China, more and more coniferous trees, broad-leaved trees and shrubs have been applied to tree ring-climate response research, which has extended the research areas beyond the forest area. In this paper, the research on the response of tree radial growth to climate published by Chinese scholars was collected and sorted out, and the complexity of tree radial growth to climate response was discussed from different angles, and the future research on tree ring-climate response was prospected. Under the background of climate warming, the strong change of environment made the response of tree growth to climate more complicated. In order to more accurately assess the influence of external environment on the growth of trees in the future climate change scenario and continuously expand the research scope of dendrochronology in China, dendrochronology in China should continue to explore more suitable tree species, constantly improve the database of tree rings in China, and give full play to the application potential and scientific research value of dendrochronology in coping with future climate change and forest ecological protection.

2023, 44(3): 39-44. doi: 10.12172/202211090002
Abstract:
By comparing the changes of genetic correlation of cone traits, seed traits and seedling traits among Chinese fir semi-sib families, as well as the degree of genetic correlation between traits, the variation of seed and seedling tratis of Chinese fir at the family level was revealed, and the possibility of early selection of seedlings through seed and seedling traits was discussed. Using the cones of five half-sib families which were from the second-generation seed orchard of Gaoxian Yuejiang state-owned forest farm as materials, the cone diameter, cone length, cone quality, 1000-seed weight, germination rate, germination potential, seedling height, and ground diameter were measured with 10 replicates for each family, the relative heritability and genetic correlation coefficient between traits were estimated. The results showed that: (1) There were significant differences in cone diameter, cone length and cone quality, 1000-seed weight and average germination potential among the five families. The average germination rate of the five families was about 50%, and there is no significant difference. Therefore, when sowing, there was no need to set the sowing amount by family; (2) The average seedling height of all families was more than 21 cm, and the coefficient of variation of seedling height of four families reached or approached 20%, with significant differences among families. The average diameter of seedlings of all families was more than 5 mm, and the coefficient of variation of diameter of all families was more than 18%, which indicated that it was potential to select super seedlings. (3) The heritability of cone was above 0.9, and the heritability of seedling height and ground diameter were 0.81 and 0.64 respectively. The correlation heritability between cone traits and seedling traits was less than that of seedling traits, and the genetic correlation coefficient was not significant. Therefore, it was impossible to select seedlings by cone traits,

2023, 44(3): 45-53. doi: 10.12172/202302280001
Abstract:
As an important indicator organ of bamboo forest health, bamboo leaves are an important place for the survival and reproduction of microorganisms around bamboo leaves, as well as an important entrance for pathogenic microorganisms to invade, which will affect the health of wild red pandas. In order to investigate the interannual variation of bacteria communities in red pandas foraging bamboos phyllosphere, high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the composition and diversity of phyllosphere bacteria of Yushania ailuropodina in Sichuan Meigu Dafengding National Nature Reserve. The results showed that OTUs was most abundant in November, and the number of OTUs decreased from September 2021 to August 2022. Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota and Acidobacteriota were the predominant phyla in whole 12 months, and the relative abundance of Proteobacteria in June, July and August was higher than that in other months. But the relative abundance of Bacteroidota was lower than that of other months. The relative abundance of Pseudomonas in June, July and August was significantly higher than that in other months, but the relative abundance of Pseudomonas and 1174-901-12 in June, July and August was lower than that in other months. The Sobs and Shannon index of phyllosphere bacteria in September, October and November were higher than those in other months. PCoA analysis based on weighted/unweighted UniFrac distance showed that the bacterial community structure of phyllosphere bacteria varied from different months at OTU level. This study improved our understanding of phyllosphere bacteria in red pandas foraging bamboos, and provided a reference for the protection of bamboo resources.

2023, 44(3): 54-63. doi: 10.12172/202208220002
Abstract:
Based on the field survey of flowering plants in three wetland parks in Kunming, the relationship between flowering plants and butterfly diversity in Kunming wetland park throughout the year was discussed. The results showed that the species richness and abundance of butterflies were not only affected by the seasonal changes, but also by the flower richness and color of flowering plants. In terms of time series, temperature, seasonal changes, flowering plants and plant configuration were important factors to maintain butterfly species diversity. From the perspective of the park as a whole, reasonable allocation of flowering plants and plant colors could promote the diversity of butterflies and the development of biodiversity in urban wetland parks.

2023, 44(3): 64-77. doi: 10.12172/202303080002
Abstract:
The Duomeilinka National Wetland Park belongs to the permanent river wetland, which located in the convergent hinge of Sichuan Province, Qinghai Province and Gansu Province. Up to now, the investigation on the diversity of birds in this wetland park is fairly insufficient. From 2017 to 2019, the faunas, community structure and spatial types of wide birds in the Duomeilinka National Wetland Park were surveyed, including 90 residents (51.14%), 43 summer visitors (24.43%), 43 winter visitors (16.48%) and 14 passage migrants (7.80%). Among them, 111 species are Palearetic origin, 42 species are Oriental origin, and 23 species are widespread, which account for 63.07%, 23.86% and 13.09% of the total number of species, respectively. In total of 44 species of species protected birds are present in the wetland park, including 11 and 25 species respectively listed on China's National Protected Animals List Class I and Class II, and 8 species were listed on key protected animals of Sichuan Province. The results of G-F index showed that there was a great avian diversity of the genus and family level in the Duomeilinka National Wetland Park. In addition, some similarities and many differences in the avian diversity and community structure were also found among four habitats types through the analysis of the similarity index and G-F index. This study provides evidence to avian protection and the later stage management of Duomeilinka National Wetland Park.

2023, 44(3): 88-94. doi: 10.12172/202208300001
Abstract:
The Latitude and altitude are the most important environmental gradients that affect the distribution pattern of biodiversity. It is of practical significance to focus on the impact of latitude and altitude gradient on regional biodiversity protection,but there are few related studies at present. In biodiversity hotspot Gaoligong Mountains, bird species in Yaojiaping (25.94°N), Yaping (27.14°N) and Dulong (27.90°N) were surveyed by transect line method at 2000~2400 m a.s.l., species richness and Jaccard similarity index were used to analyze the distribution pattern of bird diversity on altitude and latitude gradients, and the effects altitude gradient and latitude gradient on bird diversity were compared. The results showed that: (1) On the latitude gradient, the bird species number in lowest latitude Yaojiaping was the highest, and the Jaccard similarity index of bird species among the three sites was quite low, and the similarity between Yaojiaping and Yaping in low latitude was higher; (2) On altitude gradient, the peak of bird species richness in Yaojiaping, Yaping and Dulongjiang occured at 2200 m , 2400 m and 2300 m respectively, the Jaccard similarity index of bird species among different altitude segments were quite low in each of the three sites; (3) The Jaccard similarity index on the latitude gradient was similar with that on the altitude gradient. The results showed that the Jaccard similarity index of bird communities in the altitude and latitude spatial gradient of Gaoligong Mountain was low, and the composition of bird communities in the whole region was very different. Therefore, the protection policy need to consider multiple regions and habitats in order to achieve better biodiversity protection. In addition, the change of bird community composition in 100 m altitude gradient in this area was equivalent to 1 latitude gradient, which confirmed the geographical law of climate and environment change in latitude and altitude gradient.

MU Wentao, ZHOU Linyu, LIU Jinping, YIN Caiyu, LIU Yaxi
2023, 44(3): 95-101. doi: 10.12172/202208310001
Abstract:
The design and construction of sunken water body was a classic method to create garden landscape and improve ecological function. In order to study the impact of sunken landscape water on the temperature and humidity of offshore sites in different slope directions in summer, an artificial lake about 11940 m2 area in subtropical climate was taken as the object. The observation sites of 0 m, 5 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m offshore were set in the four slope directions of the southeast and northwest of the water slope protection. In summer (39℃/25℃), the temperature and humidity of the sites were measured at 9:30, 11:30, 13:30, 15:30 and 17:30 respectively, and the differences among sites, slope directions and times were analyzed. The results showed that: (1) There were significant differences in temperature and humidity at 20 sites in 4 slope directions around the landscape water body (P < 0.05). The maximum temperature difference was 6.54 ℃ at 17:30, and the maximum humidity difference was 18.73% at 9:30. (2) The temperature and humidity showed significant differences among directions, among sites and among times (P < 0.05). Among directions, the maximum temperature difference at 15:30 and the maximum humidity difference at 11:30. Among sites, the maximum temperature difference at 17:30 and the maximum humidity difference at 9:30. (3) The temperature and humidity were significantly affected by slope direction, location and time (P < 0.05). The influence of landscape water on humidity was greater than that of temperature. The first influence factor on temperature was time, and the first influence factor on humidity was site, but the second influence factor on temperature and humidity was slope direction similarly. (4) The influence of landscape water on temperature and humidity of slope direction was east > west > north > south, and the influence on offshore site was site0 > site20 > site5 > site15 > site10. In conclusion, the cooling and humidification effects of water body on offshore sites with different slope directions were significantly different, so the plant community of ecological slope protection of sunken landscape water should be constructed according to the slope directions and sites.

ZENG Zhi, SUN Hailin, FANG Yihao, WANG Rongxing, LI Na, TAN Kun
2023, 44(3): 102-109. doi: 10.12172/202208220003
Abstract:
Water supply affects the diversity and behavior of animals, but the influence of water sources on animals is rarely considered in urban green space planning. In order to study the influence of water sources on animal diversity and activities in urban green spaces, from February 2018 to August 2019, we used 4 camera traps near ponds and other water sources and 3 trigger infrared cameras in areas without water sources in Dali University, to monitor and analyze the differences of species diversity, activity rhythm between rainy and dry seasons and activity rhythm of different species. The results were as follows: (1) A total of 58 species of birds and 6 species of mammals were recorded in this survey, and the capture rate and bird species diversity in water source areas were higher than those in non-water source areas. The mammal diversity in water source ares and non-water resourc ares of non-construciton area was higher than that in construction area. (2) The six species of birds and mammals with relatively high abundance were Tupaia belangeri, Callosciurus erythraeus, Pycnonotus xanthorrhous, Pycnonotus aurigaster, Garrulax sannio, Turdus dissimilis. The nuclear density estimation analysis showed that the peak activity of all species in dry season was earlier than that in rainy season. Estimation analysis revealed that all species’ peak activity occurred earlier in the dry season than in the rainy season, with no significant differences in Tupaia belangeri’s daily activity rhythm in rainy saeson and dry season, but significant differences in the daily activity rhythm of other animal groups in rainy season and dry season. (3) There was no significant differences in daily activity rhythm among Tupaia belangeri, Callosciurus erythraeus and Garrulax sannio, but the daily activity rhythm of other species overlapped to a moderate or higher degree, but the daily activity rhythm was significantly different. The daily activity rhythms of human beings and six kinds of birds and mammals overlapped to a low degree, and the activity rhythms were significantly different. There was a low degree of daily activity rhythms overlap between humans and six birds and mammal species, and there was a significant difference in activity rhythm. The study proved that the utilization of water resources by animals was affected by demand and interference from other species and humans. It suggests that the use of water resources by animals should be considered in the design and management of green space such as campus in the future.

Effects of Gibberellin with Different Concentrations on Physiological and Germination of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum Seeds
HE Xiuyan, NI Tingting, LIU Mengjie, LIAO Shihong, WEI Qin, ZHAO Xin
2023, 44(3): 110-115. doi: 10.12172/202206300001
Abstract:
Cinnamomum longepaniculatum is a second-class key protected plant in China, and it is also an economic forest rich in natural aromatic oil, which is unique to China. Currently, there were few studies on Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds, and there was no in-depth study on how the germination rate and physiological index of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds change after gibberellin treatment. In order to promote the rapid germination of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds, the plant growth regulator GAs was used to treat them. Through the determination of various physiological index and the observation of morphological structure, the theoretical basis of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds germination could be further enriched. Taking Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds as the experimental materials, four concentrations of GAs (0.2 g·L−1, 0.4 g·L−1,0.6 g·L−1,1 g·L−1) treat the seeds for 24 h and 48 h, the physiological indexes and embryo development were compared. The results showed that 0.4 g·L−1 gibberellin treatment could significantly increase SOD and CAT activities, significantly decreased MDA content and significantly increased soluble protein content in Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds. The morphological development of embryos was obviously better than other treatments, and the endosperm cell connection density was smaller, the lipid droplets content was higher and the cell wall was thinner. Therefore, soaking seeds with 0.4 g·L−1GAs for 48 h was beneficial to promote the germination of Cinnamomum longepaniculatum seeds.

Abstract:
In order to explore the cultivation potential of Dendrocalamopsis oldhamii in Nanchong, the barreled seedlings of Dendrocalamopsis oldhamii were used to carry out summer and winter cultivation experiments in three districts and counties of Nanchong. The number of shoots, the diameter of the grown bamboo, the morphological characters of the height of the plant, and the cold tolerance were compared. The results showed that the survival rate of D. was above 82%. After planting in summer, bamboo shoots could be produced in the same year, with an average of 3.4 to 5 shoots. When bamboo shoots developed into a first generation of bamboo in winter, the average ground diameter was 1.76~2.49cm, the average plant height was 2.4-3.1m. In the second year, the second-generation induced from the first-generation bamboo shoots was on average 2 shoots, and the average ground diameter of the second-generation was 1.5 times that of the first generation, and the average plant height is 1.56-1.85 times that of the first generation. After planting in winter, 5.1-5.8 bamboo shoots could be produced in the next summer and autumn, and the average diameter of the developed adult bamboo was 2.11-3 cm, and the average plant height was 2.65-3.86 m. There was no obvious freezing injury of D. in winter. It is considered that D. is suitable for introduction and cultivation in Nanchong, and the relevant research has increased the suitable range of D. in Chongqing to the north by 2 to 3 latitudes.

Abstract:
In order to provide reference for the afforestation cultivation and sustainable management of Pinus sylvetrisl plantation in Yulin sandy area. In this study, 38 sample plots of P. sylvetrisl plantation with 20 m×20 m were set up in Yuyang district of Yulin city, and the growth indexes of DBH and height of P. sylvetrisl plantation at different ages were investigated. Using the prediction model of quantitative theory I, the multivariate regression equation between the average height of dominant trees and site factors in P. sylvetrisl plantation was established, and the site evaluation grade was determined, and the site quality of P. sylvetrisl plantation was quantitatively evaluated. The results showed that: (1) With the growth of forest, the average diameter at breast height and tree height of P. sylvetrisl plantation increased significantly, and the fastest growth rate was in the 10th to 20th years. (2) The P. sylvetrisl plantation was divided into 12 site types with the three dominant factors of slope aspect, elevation and slope position, and the site classification results were evaluated. Based on the site evaluation of the surveyed plots, it could be seen that 75% of the P. sylvetrisl plantation in the surveyed plots had a site evaluation level above the intermediate level, which indicated that the site conditions of the P. sylvetrisl planting area in Yulin area were better and suitable for P. sylvetrisl planting. It showed that the prediction equation had been tested to meet the requirements, indicating that the quantitative theory I could be used to evaluate the site quality and predict the growth trend of the P. sylvetrisl plantation.

Study the environmental toxicity of degradable and super absorbent bamboo fiber, and provide experimental basis for its safe utilization. In this paper, SPF NIH mice were used as experimental animals to study the toxicity of super absorbent bamboo fiber to mice by intragastric administration with different concentrations of super absorbent bamboo fiber. The results showed that no mice died during the toxicity test. There were no tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, lethargy or coma in all test groups. The appetite of mice was also normal, and there were no diarrhea and anorexia. There was no obvious abnormality in all organs of all mice in the test group. When the super absorbent bamboo fiber was treated by gavage to 5000 mg/kg •bw, the mice did not die and could gain weight normally. According to the toxicity classification, super absorbent bamboo fiber was actually non-toxic.
