Abstract

Subalpine and alpine plant communities are considered highly sensitive and hence endangered by global changes. In central Europe, the highly sensitive habitats are also influenced by human activities: land use, industrial pollution, and tourism. That is especially true for subalpine plant communities formed on mid-latitude mountains during specific postglacial development. Our study aimed to (1) document changes in cover and plant species diversity between the past (1950s and 1970s) and present (2019) and (2) reveal differences in the functional composition of the species among the studied periods. In 2019, quasi-permanent marked plots originally surveyed in the 1950s and 1970s were resurveyed at Králický Sněžník (Śnieżnik Kłodski) Mountains, the High Sudetes Mts.. We assessed temporal changes in plant species composition, species cover, functional groups, growth forms, and degree of specialization. We found homogenization of the vegetation over time and changes in the cover of specific functional groups that were attributed to environmental factors connected with the cessation of historical land use, atmospheric deposition, and climate change. Implementing a suitable combination of mowing and grazing to support diversity, and to prevent homogenization of vegetation is highly recommended.
近60年亚高山植被均一化与物种组成变化
亚高山和高山植物群落被认为是高度敏感的,因此受到全球变化的威胁。在中欧,高度敏感的栖息地也受到人类活动的影响:土地利用、工业污染和旅游业。对于在特定的冰川后发育期间在中纬度山脉上形成的亚高山植物群落来说,情况尤其如此。我们的研究旨在(1)记录过去(20世纪50年代至70年代)和现在(2019年)的植被覆盖和植物物种多样性的变化;(2)揭示不同研究时期物种功能组成的差异。2019年,在Králický Sněžník (Śnieżnik Kłodski) Mountains, High sudees Mts..我们评估了植物物种组成、物种覆盖、功能类群、生长形式和专业化程度的时间变化。我们发现,随着时间的推移,植被的同质化和特定功能群的覆盖变化归因于与历史土地利用停止、大气沉积和气候变化相关的环境因素。强烈建议实施适当的割草和放牧组合,以支持多样性,并防止植被同质化。
