摘要/Abstract

摘要： 在对植被自组织过程研究进展评述的基础上，研究了河西走廊荒漠绿洲边缘人工固沙植被格局40年来自组织及种群自疏过程，发现在干旱区，特别是降水量200 mm以下的荒漠区，绿洲边缘雨养或者降水和地下水共同维系的沙丘人工植被也会发生自组织过程，原来基本均匀栽植的植被出现斑块化，最大斑块面积、斑块密度、斑块聚集度在20~30 a出现，但种群自疏过程并未遵循随植被发育年龄变化的规律，而与生境与绿洲的距离及生境地下水埋深显著相关。未来应加强在气候变化和人类干扰条件下植被格局发生突变的阈值范围的研究，也应加强干旱区人工植被自组织过程及其变化等的研究。

Abstract: The two-phase mosaics of vegetation alternating with bare ground, was frequently observed in arid ecosystem. Theoretical studies suggest that this range of spatial patterns is the result of self-organization as a consequence of resource redistribution. On the basis of the review of self-organized process of vegetation, the spatial patterns and self-thinning process of Haloxylon ammodendron plantation for more than 40 years were analyzed in an oasis-desert ecotone in the Hexi Corridor. Results showed that a self-organized process of sand-fixing plantation would also take place in arid areas especially where precipitation is less than 200 mm. The overall spatial pattern of H. ammodendron shifted from initially uniform distribution to clustered, the landscape patches are becoming fragmented. But the self-thinning process of H. ammodendron plantation don't follow the natural order of the developmental stages, it is most relevant to the distance between the habitats of H.ammodendron and oasis marginal, and the groundwater depth in the habitats of H.ammodendron plantation. Ecosystem may abruptly shifted from one alternative stable state to another one, accompanied with great changes, under climate change and exacerbated human disturbance, the research of threshold range of vegetation pattern regime shift should be strengthened in the future, and the research of self-organized process of the sand-fixing plantation in the arid areas should also be strengthened.

Key words: self-organization process, vegetation patterns, sand-fixing plantation, Haloxylon ammodendron, desert-oasis ecotone
