【英文摘要】Studies on ecological flows across heterogeneous landscape remain at the frontier of landscape ecology. Nutrient flows associated with wind-driven litter transportation and hydrologic flows (rainfall input, canopy leaching, soil leaching, and runoff output) were measured in the four ecosystem patches. We found that the quantity of wind-driven nutrient transport was much larger than the water-driven one. Based on the analysis of nutrient fluxes and budgets of different patch ecosystems, we concluded that positioning the Acacia mangium plantation on the upper slope of the watershed landscape was an appropriate spatial arrangement. Over 1/3-1/6 Acacia litter could be moved to other landscape components (e.g., the fruit garden) as organic fertilizers. A spatially-interactive ecosystem model, TEPS (terrestrial ecosystem processes simulator) was developed on the basis of a process-based ecosystem model, PALS (patch arid land simulator), which include four modules: water cycling, plant production, soil organic matter decomposition, and canopy energy balance. The parameterization and validation of the model is still ongoing. During the development of TEPS, we used PALS conducted a series of simulation analysis to address how ecosystem productivity, soil organic matter, and soil respiration respond to environmental changes such as elevated CO2, altered precipitation pattern, warming, and increased N deposition. The major finding was that ecosystem responses were nonlinear when all the factors were strongly interactive but linear when one factor played dominant role. Further researches would be focused on modeling how changes in patch area (area effect), spatial configuration (position effect), and human management activities (disturbance effect) would influence N and P outputs from the terrestrial portion to the water portion of the studied watershed landscape.
【中文摘要】异质景观中的生态流过程是景观生态学研究的前沿领域。本项目通过对水力(降水输入、冠层和土壤层淋溶、径流输出)和风力(枯落物借风力的飘移)驱动的丘塘景观4种斑块生态系统间元素流的野外观测和实验室分析,发现风力驱动的元素流从量上来说要比水力驱动的元素流更大。从丘塘景观的可持续管理来说,把马占相思林置于顶坡的空间配置是合理的;可把1/3-1/6的马占相思林地枯落物移入龙眼果园作为有机肥。在野外观测和分析的基础上,基于PALS(Patch Arid Land Simulator)模型,本项目开发了TEPS(Terrestrial Ecosystem Process Simulator)主体结构框架,包括4个模块:水循环模块、植物生产模块、土壤有机质动态模块和冠层能量平衡模块。TEPS模型中的功能关系、参数化、检验和空间化也正在进展中。同时,我们也利用PALS模型分析了生态系统生产力、土壤有机质含量和土壤呼吸对环境变化(CO2浓度增加、升温、降水格局变化和N沉降增加)的响应。发现这些环境变化对关键生态系统变量的影响存在着明显的相互作用。当这些因素共同起限制作用时,系统表现出复杂的非线性响应行为。
