厦门凤林湾无瓣海桑-秋茄红树林群落特征及有机碳储量

Community Characteristics and Organic Carbon Storage of Sonneratia apetala-Kandelia obovata Mangrove in Fenglin Bay,Xiamen

  • 摘要: 以厦门凤林湾人工种植的20年生无瓣海桑(Sonneratia apetala)-秋茄(Kandelia obovata)红树林为对象,研究其群落结构特征及有机碳储量。结果表明,无瓣海桑、秋茄的平均植株密度分别为1911、14178株·hm-2,胸径分别为13.03、3.98cm,株高分别为7.77、3.80 m;无瓣海桑虽然密度较低,但因树高显著高于秋茄而成为建群种,其冠层对秋茄的郁闭度达79.26%,群落形成明显的双层结构。混交林中无瓣海桑和秋茄均长势良好,枯木极少;无瓣海桑的生长状况与厦门其它地区的无瓣海桑纯林类似,而秋茄虽然胸径较小,但株高却高于厦门其它地区的秋茄纯林。该林分总有机碳储量为157.63 tC·hm-2,其中植被有机碳储量71.00 t C·hm-2(无瓣海桑、秋茄分别为45.79、25.21 t C·hm-2),土壤(0—50 cm)有机碳储量86.63 t C·hm-2。与本地秋茄纯林相比,厦门凤林湾无瓣海桑-秋茄红树林的秋茄植被碳储量较低,即使计入无瓣海桑的贡献,混交林的植被碳储量仍低于秋茄纯林;但其土壤有机碳储量显著提升,从而使其整体生态系统有机碳储量更高。综合结果说明,无瓣海桑与秋茄混交有利于群落结构稳定性和固碳功能提高。

     

    Abstract: The study selected 20-year-old artificial planted Sonneratia apetala-Kandelia obovata in Fenglin Bay,Xiamen as the object and researched the community structure characteristics and organic carbon storage. The average tree densities of Sonneratia apetala and Kandelia obovata were 1911 and 14178 ind·hm-2;breast diameter were 13. 03 and 3. 98 cm;height were 7. 77 and 3. 80 m respectively. Although the density of Sonneratia apetala was significantly lower than Kandelia obovata,its height was significantly higher. Thus,Sonneratia apetala was dominant species. Its canopy density to Kandelia obovata was 79. 26% and the community formed a clear two-layer structure. Both Sonneratia apetala and Kandelia obovata came along splendidly with rare dead trees in Sonneratia apetala-Kandelia obovata mangrove in Fenglin Bay,Xiamen. The growth of Sonneratia apetala was similar to that of monotypic Sonneratia apetala in other regions in Xiamen. Compared with monotypic Kandelia obovata in other regions in Xiamen,the breast diameter of Kandelia obovata in Fenglin Bay was lower while its height was higher. Ecosystem total organic carbon storage was 157. 63 t C·hm-2,where vegetation and soil(0—50 cm)organic carbon storage were 71. 00 t C·hm-2(the carbon storage of Sonneratia apetala and Kandelia obovata were 45. 79 and 25. 51 t C·hm-2 respectively) and 86. 63 t C·hm-2 respectively. Compared with monotypic Kandelia obovata in Xiamen,vegetation organic carbon storage of Kandelia obovata in Fenglin Bay was lower;even though considering the contribution of Sonneratia apetala,vegetation organic carbon storage was still lower than monotypic Kandelia obovata. However,the mix of planting Sonneratia apetala and Kandelia obovata could significantly increase soil organic carbon storage,which may increase ecosystem organic carbon storage. These results indicate that the mix planting of Sonneratia apetala and Kandelia obovata is beneficial to the stability and the enhancement of carbon sequestration function of community structure.
