摘要
研究了阿拉善典型干旱荒漠植被区C4植物的组成特征、空间分布及其与环境因子的相关性。发现C4植物主要集中在藜科(Chenopodiaceae)和禾本科(Gramineae),生活型以一、二年生草本为主,占到70%以上;旱生和旱中生C4植物所占比例较大,达到48.89%,其区系成分以世界成分、亚洲中部成分和古地中海成分为主。C4植物分布特征表现出不同的规律性:在垂直地带分布上与温度呈正相关关系、与降雨呈负相关关系;在水平经度地带分布上主要与降水呈正相关关系,与温度无显著相关,尤其是在极端高温、干旱(主要是额济纳戈壁荒漠区)地区,C4植物的生存受到了限制。这一结果对于揭示阿拉善地区C4植物的水分利用效率,及其与降水资源的空间分布之间的关系提供了一定的理论解释。
C_4 plants of Alxa desert are principally manifested by Chenopodiaceae,Gramineae,and the life forms are most biennial and annual grasses,accounting for more than 70%;xerophytic and mesophytic C_4 plants make up 48.89%,and whose floristic area-types are mainly from Cosmopolitan,Asia media and Tethys.Distribution of C_4 plants presents different laws in Alxa region:distribution of C_4 plants positively relates to temperature and negatively relates to precipitation along altitudinal zonality;it positively relates to precipitation and less relates to temperature along horizontal zone,especially,presence of C_4 plants are limited in extremely high temperature and arid conditions(mainly in gobi desert area of Ejin Banner).The results can some explain the status of the water utilization efficiency of C_4 plants in Alxa and its relationship with spatial precipitation distribution.
