摘 要:貴州紅山茶(Camellia kweichowensis)是紅山茶組中稀有5室蒴果代表種之一,具有重要物種生物學意義和經(jīng)濟利用價值。為探索貴州紅山茶物種稀有瀕危原因,該文采用樣方法與實測法調(diào)查,通過種群年齡結(jié)構(gòu)和生存力分析,開展種群結(jié)構(gòu)動態(tài)量化特征和未來發(fā)展趨勢的研究。結(jié)果表明:(1)貴州紅山茶原生植被具有亞熱帶濕潤性常綠闊葉林典型特征,常綠落葉闊葉混交林占主體林分,華山松(Pinus armandii)+樺木(Betula luminifera)+楓香(Liquidambar formosana)+藍果樹(Nyssa sinensis)+山茶(Camellia sp.)+鈴木(Eurya sp.)+木荷(Schima sp.)等針葉闊葉混交林常見。(2)貴州紅山茶植物種群結(jié)構(gòu)為增長型,以小樹和中樹齡級階段植株為主體,占種群數(shù)量的73.02%;種群存活曲線Deevey-Ⅱ型特征明顯,種群生命期望值在幼苗期達到最大值,死亡率和消失率曲線的變化趨勢基本一致;種群幼苗庫豐富但響應生境外的干擾敏感,幼苗存活至Ⅶ齡級植株概率陡降至36.17%,整體呈現(xiàn)“Ⅳ齡級前增長-Ⅳ齡級后衰退”的特點。(3)貴州紅山茶在未來2、4、6、8、10個徑級的生長期之后,種群動態(tài)趨于中樹(Ⅴ~Ⅶ齡級)、大樹(Ⅷ~Ⅹ齡級)和老樹(Ⅺ~ⅩⅢ齡級)的態(tài)勢。綜上認為,貴州紅山茶生境資源及空間有限性導致種群內(nèi)部或不同物種間的競爭加劇,使種群幼苗存活率降低和低齡級植株數(shù)量減少,加上人類掠奪性采伐造成的成年植株死亡率增高,致使其種群的數(shù)量增加及種群擴散受阻,分布區(qū)狹窄,物種趨于瀕危。

Abstract:Camellia kweichowensis is a rare 5-locular capsule-bearing representative species of the section Camellia with biological importance and economic value. In order to explore the reasons for its endangered status, we studied the quantitative characteristics of population structure dynamics and future development trend by combining the sample investigation and actual measurement methods, the analysis of population age structure and survivability. The results were as follows: (1) The primary vegetation of C. kweichowensis had typical characteristics of subtropical humid evergreen broad-leaved forests. While the mixed evergreen and deciduous broad-leaved forest were the main stands, and the coniferous broad-leaved mixed forest of Pinus armandii + Betula luminifera + Liquidambar formosana + Nyssa sinensis + Camellia sp. + Eurya sp. + Schima sp.? was common. (2) The growth population of C. kweichowensis dominated the growth structure. The points were mainly concentrated in the small and medium tree stages, and the sum of the proportion constituted 73.02% of the overall population. Deevey-Ⅱ type characteristic of the population survival curve was obvious, the life expectancy of C. kweichowensis was the maximum at the seedling stage. The change trend of mortality and the vanishing curves of the same plot were approximately the same. The quantitative dynamic analysis indicated that the three plots had abundant seedling pools, but were sensitive to the disturbance outside the habitat. The probability of surviving to Ⅶ age-class dropped significantly to 36.17%. On the whole, the population structure showed the characteristics of “growth in the early stage and decline in the late stage of Ⅳ age-class”. (3) After the growth period of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 diameter scales, the C. kweichowensis population dynamics tilted toward the succession of middle trees (Ⅴ-Ⅶ age-class), big trees (Ⅷ-Ⅹ age-class), and aged trees (Ⅺ-ⅩⅢ age-class). In conclusion, due to the limited habitat resources and space, intraspecific and interspecific competition intensifies, which reduces the survival rate of population seedlings and the number of young, and increased the mortality of adult plants caused by human predatory logging. As a result, the population renewal and diffusion are hindered, the distribution area is narrow, and the species tend to be endangered.

種群是物種進化的基本單位(姜在民等,2018),種群結(jié)構(gòu)特征及其動態(tài)變化規(guī)律是種群生態(tài)學研究的核心內(nèi)容和基礎科學問題(王飛等,2022),種群生命表、生存分析、數(shù)量動態(tài)量化和時間序列預測等是研究植物種群數(shù)量特征的重要手段和工具(張文輝等,2004;張亞芳等,2015;朱強等,2019)。種群年齡結(jié)構(gòu)能夠反映種群數(shù)量配置變化規(guī)律,表現(xiàn)出種群植株在各個階段的生長狀況,可有效評估種群對生存環(huán)境的適應性(韓路等,2014;王泳騰等,2021)。數(shù)量動態(tài)量化和時間序列分析能夠揭示種群動態(tài)變化特征及其潛在驅(qū)動機制(拓鋒等,2021),是研究種群更新和擴散機制的基礎,可為針對性地提出有效保護措施提供參考(羅西等,2021;趙家豪等,2022)。植物種群年齡結(jié)構(gòu)及其數(shù)量動態(tài)的研究,已成為稀有瀕危植物保護利用的科學基礎。
貴州紅山茶(Camellia kweichowensis)是山茶屬植物紅山茶組中少有子房5室的代表物種(張宏達,1981),常綠灌木或小喬木,樹形優(yōu)美,花冠直徑4~12 cm、花色靚麗,頗具觀賞特性和經(jīng)濟價值,分布于貴州省貴陽市百花湖鄉(xiāng)九龍山森林植被區(qū)以及清鎮(zhèn)市站街鎮(zhèn)寶塔山天然林區(qū)的狹窄區(qū)域,貴州特有種(張宏達和任善湘,1998;鄒天才,2001)。目前,關于貴州紅山茶植物資源調(diào)查評價(安明態(tài),2005;張華海和班平原,2007)、土壤鋁離子吸收、種子內(nèi)含物檢測(劉海燕等,2018)、種苗繁殖栽培(胡光平等,2013)等方面已有報道,但在貴州紅山茶種群結(jié)構(gòu)特征、數(shù)量動態(tài)變化規(guī)律、種群增長機制、有效保護利用途徑的科學問題認知還嚴重缺失。本研究以貴州紅山茶自然分布區(qū)為研究區(qū)域,依托其生境特征、植物區(qū)系成分組成以及貴州紅山茶植物分布特點與種群結(jié)構(gòu)的現(xiàn)實狀況,采用樣方法和實測法相結(jié)合的研究方法,通過貴州紅山茶天然種群存活狀況的實地調(diào)查及其種群結(jié)構(gòu)組成與數(shù)量動態(tài)變化的研究,分析探討了貴州紅山茶種群的結(jié)構(gòu)特征、數(shù)量動態(tài)變化規(guī)律、響應外界干擾適應性機制、物種瀕危原因等科學問題,以期為貴州紅山茶植物種質(zhì)資源的有效保護與合理利用提供科學依據(jù)。

2 研究方法
2.1 調(diào)查方法和地點
采用樣方法和實測法相結(jié)合開展調(diào)查(李苑菱,2017),選擇貴州紅山茶分布較為集中的林區(qū),隨機選取3個標準樣地(樣地A、樣地B和樣地C,見圖1)。每個樣地30 m×30 m,劃分成9個10 m×10 m樣方,總共2 700 m2。以10 m×10 m的樣方為基礎逐一調(diào)查貴州紅山茶植株的基徑和地理位置坐標。采用五點取樣法在每個樣地中取5個5 m×5 m的灌木樣方,在灌木樣方的中心位置取1 m×1 m的草本樣方。采用“目測估計法”記錄樣地內(nèi)物種喬木、灌木及草本植物種類及數(shù)量(楊持,2008)。其中,樣地A位于高規(guī)(106°28′51″ E,26°40′12″ N,海拔1 588 m)、樣地B在爛泥溝(106°28′52″ E,26°39′57″ N,海拔1 454 m),皆位于百花湖鄉(xiāng)九龍山自然植被區(qū)內(nèi),樣地C位于寶塔山北坡天然林保護區(qū)內(nèi)(106°24′51″ E,26°39′22″ N,海拔1 636 m)。
