ABSTRACT
Dwarf bamboo is recognized as a
significant determinant of the structure and dynamics in temperate forests.
Quantitative relationships between the abundance (density and coverage) of
dwarf bamboo, Fargesia nitida, and
micro-environments, species diversity on the floor were estimated in an Abies faxoniana pure forest in southwest
China. Understory micro-environmental conditions (daily differences temperature
and moisture, RPPFD under bamboo layer and
ground cover) changed dramatically with the bamboo density. Stepwise multiple
regression analyses indicated that abundance of F.
nitida was mainly correlated with canopy characteristics and
disturbance factors in the A. faxoniana pure
forest. All richness indices decreased significantly with the bamboo density
and RPPFD under bamboo layer. Importance values (IV) of
understory species in different bamboo densities and Detrended canonical
correspondence analysis (DCCA) indicated three
understory plant groups, resistant to high bamboo abundance (Group A),
resistant to intermediate bamboo abundance (Group B) and sensitive to bamboo
abundance (Group C). These groups mainly responded to abundance of bamboo and RPPFD under
bamboo layer, resulted from the integration of characteristics of bamboo,
canopy and topography factors. Different bamboo abundance had different
influences on understory species diversity and groups. Dense F. nitida condition (> 10
culms/m2) had significant negative effect and 0-5 bamboo
condition had not significant negative effect on understory species diversity
in A. faxoniana forest. We suggest the
fine-scale analysis on effects of bamboo abundance should be taken account into
considering in heterogeneous patches in process of the succession and
regeneration of natural forests.

ABSTRAK
Buluh kerdil
diiktiraf sebagai penentu penting struktur dan dinamik dalam hutan beriklim
sederhana. Hubungan kuantitatif antara kelimpahan (kepadatan dan liputan)
buluh kerdil, Fargesia nitida, dan mikro-persekitaran, kepelbagaian spesies
di atas lantai telah dianggarkan dalam hutan Abies faxoniana tulen di
barat daya China. Keadaan mikro alam sekitar mikrokanopi bawahan
(harian perbezaan suhu dan kelembapan, RPPFD di bawah lapisan buluh
dan penutup bumi) telah berubah dengan dramatik dengan kepadatan buluh. Analisis regresi langkah demi langkah berbilang menunjukkan bahawa kelimpahan F.
nitida terutamanya berkait rapat dengan ciri-ciri kanopi dan faktor-faktor
gangguan dalam hutan A. faxoniana tulen. Semua indeks
kekayaan menurun dengan ketara dengan kepadatan buluh dan RPPFD di
bawah lapisan buluh. Kepentingan nilai-nilai (IV)
spesies bawah kanopi dalam kepadatan yang berlainan buluh dan analisis
kesetaraan kanun Detrended (DCCA) menunjukkan tiga kumpulan
tumbuhan bawahan, tahan pintas kepada kelimpahan buluh tinggi (Kumpulan A),
tahan banyak buluh sederhana (Kumpulan B) dan sensitif terhadap banyak buluh
(Kumpulan C). Kumpulan-kumpulan ini terutamanya memberi
respon terhadap banyak buluh dan RPPFD di bawah lapisan buluh,
hasil daripada padat integrasi ciri-ciri faktor buluh, kanopi dan topografi. Banyak buluh yang berlainan mempunyai pengaruh yang berbeza
pada kepelbagaian spesies bawahan dan kumpulan. Keadaan F. nitida padat
(> 10 culms/mz) mempunyai kesan negatif yang ketara dan 0-5 keadaan buluh
tidak mempunyai kesan negatif yang besar ke atas kepelbagaian spesies bawahan
di hutan A. faxoniana. Kami mencadangkan analisis yang skala kecil ke
atas kelimpahan perlu diambilkira ke dalam mempertimbangkan dalam tompok
heterogen dalam proses penggantian dan pertumbuhan semula hutan semula jadi.
