We monitored seed rain in three forest types for two years (2018-2019) in the central part of Greater Xing'an Mountains, and analyzed the seasonal seed rain dynamics, deciduous dynamics, seed rain thousand-grain weight, inter-annual variation of seed rain, and spatial pattern of seed rain of the main tree species in different forest types. The results showed that seed rain of Larix gmelinii and Betula platyphylla in each forest type showed unimodal distribution. The leaf litter amount of coniferous and broad-leaved species (L. gmelinii, Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, Picea koraiensis, B. platyphylla and Populus davidiana) also showed obvious seasonal dynamics, with a peak in the middle and early September. In coniferous and broadleaved mixed forests and coniferous forests, the 1000-grain weight of L. gmelinii at the peak period was significantly greater than that at the initial and final stages. The 1000-grain weight of B. platyphylla in the three forest types did not show obvious seasonal variation. Seed rain of L. gmelinii and B. platyphylla showed obvious inter-annual change. The year 2018 was a large seed set year, whereas 2019 was a year with small seed set. The spatial pattern of all seed rain was mainly dominated by aggregated distribution in both years, which was consistent with that of seedlings and saplings.
本研究于2018—2019年对大兴安岭中部白桦林、针叶林和针阔混交林3种林型的种子雨落种量进行了动态监测,并对3种林型主要树种的种子雨季节动态、落叶动态、种子雨千粒重、种子雨年际变化和种子雨空间格局进行了分析。结果表明: 各林型中兴安落叶松种子雨和白桦种子雨呈现明显的单峰型分布。针阔树种(落叶松、樟子松、云杉、白桦、山杨)的落叶量呈现出明显的季节动态,各林型落叶量大多在9月中上旬达到高峰。在针阔混交林和针叶林中,处于高峰期的兴安落叶松种子雨千粒重明显大于初始期和末尾期的兴安落叶松种子雨千粒重,3种林型下白桦千粒重在季节上未表现出明显的差异。兴安落叶松和白桦的种子雨均呈现出明显的年际变化,2018年为种子散种量的丰年,2019年为歉年。两年时间内,所有种子雨的空间格局在总体上均表现为聚集分布,种子雨和幼苗幼树在空间分布格局上存在一致性。.
