Tieshanping in Chongqing metropolis,Southwest China. The seeds from the remnant EBLF naturally facilitate the restoration process of artificial Pinus massoniana forests near it. The similarity of species composition between the artificial Pinus massoniana forests and the remnant EBLF and biodiversity index of the artificial Pinus massoniana forests decrease as the distance from the remnant EBLF increases. Castanopsis carlesii var. spinusa is the dominant species in the ground vegetation,shrub layer and sub-tree layer of the Pinus massoniana forests near the remnant EBLF. However,the natural restoration processes of those farther away from the remnant EBLF are restricted for the absence of seed source of the inherent components of the remnant EBLF,and the anthropogenic measures should be taken to facilitate the restoration process.展开更多

The elevating CO 2 concentration influences to a great extent the future climate warming in a regional or global scale. Forest is the main part of carbon cycling in the land ecosystem.. Monitoring CO 2 absorption and emission in the forest ecosystem play a non\| fungible role in study on the global change. Gongga Mountain is located in the southeast margin of the Tibetan Plateau, and there exist intact vertical vegetation zonality, which is advantageous for measuring soil CO\-2 emission on each vertical forest zonality and researching the ecological factors of soil respiration.The east slope of Gongga Mountain develops 5 natural forest vertical zones from lower to higher altitudes: secondary forest, ever\|greened and deciduous broad\|leaved mixed forest, broad\|leaved and coniferous mixed forest, coniferous forest and alpine shrubs. Based on the two\|year’s measurement, the soil respiration of each forest averaged: 5 488, 6 344, 5 912, 4 176 and 3 864μmol CO 2/(m 2·s); the flux of soil CO 2 emission was arranged: 208 628, 241 169, 224 746, 158 752 and 146 891kg CO 2/(hm 2·d), respectively.展开更多
