一句话总结

本研究调查了中国新疆五个景观中，景观复杂性与林分因子如何影响杨树林节肢动物群落。利用景观组成、构型和连通性的多尺度指标，研究发现，在200米尺度上，景观复杂性可增强天敌数量并减少食叶害虫种群；而林分因子如草本植物高度和树木大小则影响食叶害虫的丰度与多样性。

ABSTRACT

The arthropod communities are influenced by both local conditions and features of the surrounding landscape. Landscape complexity and stand factors may both influence arthropod communities in poplar forests, but the multiscale effects of these factors on poplar defoliators and natural enemies are still poorly understood. We collected poplar arthropods at 30 sampling sites within five forest landscapes in Xinjiang, China, and assessed whether landscape complexity and stand factors influence species abundance and diversity of poplar arthropods. Landscape complexity was quantified by several independent metrics of landscape composition, configuration, and connectivity at three spatial scales. We also determined the most powerful explanatory variables and the scale effect of each arthropod. Results found that landscape complexity and stand factors had different effects on different poplar arthropod communities. Landscape complexity promoted natural enemies at different spatial scales, but it inhibited the population of poplar defoliators at the scale of 200 m. Specifically, the abundance and diversity of all defoliators decreased with increasing proportion of nonhost plants. Landscape diversity only had a negative effect on defoliator abundance. The shape complexity of habitat patches increased the abundance of carabid beetles but reduced the abundance of green leafhoppers and migratory locusts. The abundance and diversity of predators increased with increasing structural connectivity of forest landscape. Additionally, both the abundance and diversity of all defoliators were positively correlated with the average height of herbaceous plants. Diversity of all defoliators increased with increasing size of host trees. The distance from sampling site to the nearest village positively influenced the abundance and diversity of all predators. Arthropod abundance and diversity in poplar forests were driven by stand factors and landscape complexity. Therefore, maintaining complex shape and structural connectivity of habitat patches and keeping poplar stands away from the village are crucial for management of forest landscape to enhance natural enemies. And in order to reduce the abundance of defoliators in poplar forest, the diversity of surrounding habitat types should be promoted within 200 m radii.

研究动机与目标

• 理解景观复杂性与林分因子在多尺度上对杨树食叶害虫及其天敌的影响。

• 测量林分因子，如草本植物高度、寄主树木大小以及与最近村庄的距离。
• 利用多尺度统计模型分析节肢动物丰度/多样性与景观/林分变量之间的关系。
• 通过模型选择识别关键解释变量，并评估不同节肢动物功能群在特定尺度上的影响。
• 评估栖息地斑块形状复杂性与结构连通性对捕食者与植食性动物群落的影响。

实验结果

研究问题

• RQ1 在多个空间尺度上，景观复杂性如何影响杨树食叶害虫及其天敌的丰度与多样性？
• RQ2 景观组成、构型与连通性对节肢动物群落结构的相对影响如何？
• RQ3 林分水平因子（如草本植物高度与寄主树木大小）如何影响食叶害虫种群？
• RQ4 景观复杂性对节肢动物群落影响最强的空间尺度为何？
• RQ5 与人类聚居地的距离如何影响杨树林中捕食者的丰度与多样性？

主要发现

• 在200米空间尺度上，景观复杂性显著抑制了食叶害虫的丰度与多样性，尤其在非寄主植物比例增加时更为明显。
• 天敌的丰度与多样性随森林景观的结构连通性提高而增加。
• 步甲科甲虫的丰度随栖息地斑块形状复杂性增加而上升，而绿叶蝉与迁徙蝗虫则在相同条件下减少。
• 食叶害虫的丰度与多样性与林分中草本植物的平均高度呈正相关。
• 所有食叶害虫的多样性随寄主树木大小增加而上升，表明树木大小与植食性动物多样性之间存在正相关关系。
• 距最近村庄的距离与所有捕食者的丰度与多样性呈正相关，表明可能存在边缘效应或人类相关资源补给。
