Abstract:

To analyze the distribution pattern of thorny shrubs and its impact factors, 460 sample sites were collected in mountains of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Results showed that about 60% of sample sites had thorny shrubs, which were mainly the shrub community dominated by Vitex negundo var. heterophylla. In a small number of sample sites, thorny shrubs even became the dominant species. Twenty-four thorny shrub species were mainly from the families Rhamnaceae, Rosaceae and Leguminosae. The most common three species (Ziziphus jujuba, Rhamnus parvifolia and Caragana rosea) are mainly distributed on the gentle sunny and half-sunny slopes in the hilly area with elevation lower than 600 m a.s.l.. Quantitative analysis also showed that light condition and drought were limiting factors for growth of thorny shrubs (especially Ziziphus jujuba). Affected by climate, topography, and community factors together, thorny shrubs can be distributed under different habitats in mountains of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Key words: mountains of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, thorny shrub, distribution pattern, topography, climate

摘要：

根据京津冀山地460个样地调查的结果, 对该地区有刺灌木的分布格局及影响因子进行分析。结果表明, 有刺灌木在约60%的样地出现, 主要为荆条灌丛样地, 在少数样地甚至成为灌木层优势种。有刺灌木共24种, 主要来自鼠李科、蔷薇科和豆科。恒有度最高的3种有刺灌木(酸枣、小叶鼠李和红花锦鸡儿)主要分布于海拔600 m以下的低山丘陵区较缓的阳坡和半阳坡。定量分析结果表明, 光照和干旱是限制常见有刺灌木(尤其是酸枣)生长的重要因子。受气候、地形和群落因素的共同影响, 有刺灌木在京津冀山地不同生境条件下均有分布。
