环境距离和地理空间距离对鄂西北植物群落β多样性的影响

Effects of environmental distance and geographic distance on β-diversity of plant communities in northwestern Hubei

  • 摘要: 基于9个保护区184个乔木群落样方的调查结果,结合地形气候等数据,分析了地理距离和环境因子对鄂西北植物群落β多样性及其组分的影响。结果显示:(1)随着地理距离的增加,群落β多样性与物种周转组分显著增加,且β多样性分解主要由周转组分构成。(2)偏Mantel分析结果显示,环境距离和地理距离与研究区植物群落的β多样性具有显著相关性。(3)MRM分析结果表明,环境因子的贡献率高于地理距离,其中,乔木层植物中总体β多样性的地理距离贡献为7.15%,灌木层为3.76%,草本层为7.58%,均低于环境因子的贡献率。(4)邻体矩阵主坐标分析(Principal coordinates of neighbor matrices,PCNM)的变差分解结果显示,乔木层植物中,β多样性总体和周转组分分别解释了14.66%和19.17%的变差,灌木层分别解释了10.93%和13.29%的变差,草本层分别解释了13.75%和18.98%。研究结果表明,环境过滤和扩散限制共同影响鄂西北植物群落的β多样性格局,且前者影响更大。

     

    Abstract: This study evaluated the impact of geographic distance and environmental factors on β-diversity and its components across 184 tree community plots distributed among nine nature reserves in northwestern Hubei, combining topographic and climatic variables. Results demonstrated that: (1) β-diversity and species turnover significantly increased with geographic distance, with species turnover comprising the dominant component of β-diversity decomposition; (2) Partial Mantel tests indicated significant correlations between β-diversity and both environmental and geographic distances; (3) Multiple regression on distance matrices (MRM) revealed that environmental factors accounted for a greater proportion of the variation in β-diversity than geographic distance. Specifically, geographic distance explained only 7.15%, 3.76%, and 7.58% of total β-diversity in the tree, shrub, and herbaceous layers, respectively—values markedly lower than those attributable to environmental factors; (4) Variance partitioning using principal coordinates of neighbor matrices (PCNM) indicated that, in the tree, shrub, and herbaceous layers, total β-diversity and turnover components explained 14.66% and 19.17%, 10.93% and 13.29%, and 13.75% and 18.98% of the variance, respectively. These findings suggest that both environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shape the β-diversity of these plant communities, with environmental filtering exerting a more pronounced effect.
