英国多克隐花植物保护区森林土壤和凋落叶特性及其与真菌的关系

摘要

Here we report on ecology and biodiversity of fungi in a unique mycological sanctuary in Britain, where data on species composition have been collected since 1994. To complement the biodiversity data by the information on the fungal ecological interactions and their role in the overall ecosystem functioning, soil properties and the composition of forest litter and understory layer, bacterial population numbers and fungal biomass (in terms of ergosterol) were measured in 8 plots covered with different vegetation (beech, birch, birch-oak-beech, grass) over a May-Aug period, and the results were analysed by correlation analysis and stepwise regression modelling together with data on protozoa and nematodes available from parallel research. The results highlighted the complexity of factors influencing temporal dynamics and spatial variability of fungal biomass in soil and forest litter. Most of the registered interactions appeared to be transient, and this should be taken into account while interpreting environmental observations. Interpretation of the specific relationships is given and implications for further research and overall ecosystem functioning are discussed.%报道了英国独特的真菌保护区里真菌的生态学和生物多样性,而该保护区内有关物种构成的数据自1994年就开始进行收集了.关于真菌的生态学相互关系以及它们在总的生态系统功能中的作用可以作为生物多样性数据的补充.5～8月期间,在8块覆盖着不同植被(山毛榉,桦树,桦栎山毛榉,禾本科植物)实验区里,研究了森林凋落叶和叶本层土壤的特性和构成,测量了细菌种群数量和真菌的生物量(针对麦角固醇而言).用相关分析和分段回归建模方法,结合可通过并行研究采集到的原生动物和线虫数据,得到了一系列结果.这些结果强调了某些因素的复杂性,这些因素影响着森林土壤和森林凋落叶中真菌生物量空间可变性的时间动态.大多数的相互作用看起来是瞬时的,在解释环境观测记录时应该对这一点给予充分考虑.最后,解释了若干具体关系,给出了进一步研究的方向,讨论了对整个生态系统功能研究的必要性.
