Abstract

The importance of pore water chemistry for the peatland vegetation was closely examined in Ozegahara mire, Japan. Along a transect from a riverside to the center of mire, dominant vegetation changed in an almost decreasing order of plant height: gallery forest, skunk cabbage, reed, sasa-bamboo, Moliniopsis japonica, and sphagnum, with sporadic appearance of cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) with heights of around 100 cm along the way. It was found that these vegetations had different (Ca2+ + Mg2+) concentration in peat interstitial waters and ash content in peat, respectively (p < 0.05), suggesting a close association of the vegetation types with each physicochemical environment. Most of the sites along the transect were found to be ombrotrophic, on the basis of the groundwater tables much higher than the river surface (up to 6.0 m) and SiO2 concentrations in peat interstitial waters (2.4 ± 0.9 mg/L) that were only around one-tenth of that in the river. Nevertheless, the analysis of ash content in peat demonstrated that soil particles had been transported through river overflows to the mire, especially in the cinnamon fern sites, which had ash contents more than 50% in deeper layers (15–20 cm and 20–25 cm). It was found that SiO2, Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ concentrations in peat interstitial waters were significantly correlated with fine-sand contents in peat sampled at 5–10 cm depth (p < 0.05). In addition, plant heights showed significant positive correlations with both K+ and Ca2+ concentrations (p < 0.05). The results suggest that, in this mire where is mostly ombrotrophic, soil particles derived from flooding would serve as an important mineral source to affect the vegetation type.

间隙水化学和土壤颗粒决定了日本小笠原沼泽的植被
研究了日本小泽原沼泽孔隙水化学对泥炭地植被的重要性。在河滨至泥沼中心的样带上,优势植被的高度依次为廊道林、臭白菜、芦苇、莎竹、毛茛、泥炭草,沿途零星出现高度在100 cm左右的肉桂蕨(Osmunda cinnamomea)。研究发现,这些植被的泥炭间隙水中Ca2+ + Mg2+浓度和泥炭灰分含量均不同(p < 0.05),表明不同植被类型与不同的物化环境有着密切的联系。由于地下水位远高于河面(高达6.0 m),而泥炭间水的SiO2浓度(2.4±0.9 mg/L)仅为河面的十分之一左右,因此样带沿线的大部分地点被发现是近营养化的。然而,泥炭的灰分分析表明,土壤颗粒是通过河流溢流输送到泥炭的,特别是在肉桂蕨地,其深层(15-20 cm和20-25 cm)的灰分含量超过50%。研究发现,泥炭间隙水中SiO2、Ca2+、Mg2+和K+浓度与5 ~ 10 cm深度泥炭中细砂含量呈显著相关(p < 0.05)。此外,株高与K+和Ca2+浓度均呈显著正相关(p < 0.05)。结果表明,在这片以近营养化为主的沼泽中,洪水产生的土壤颗粒可能是影响植被类型的重要矿物来源。

期刊介绍: Limnology is a scientific journal published three times a year, in January, April, and August, by Springer in association with the Japanese Society of Limnology. The editors welcome original scientific contributions on physical, chemical, biological, or related research, including environmental issues, on any aspect of basic, theoretical, or applied limnology that present significant findings for the community of scholars. The journal publishes Rapid communications, Research papers, Review articles, Asia/Oceania reports, and Comments. The aims and scope of Limnology are to publish scientific and/or technical papers in limnological sciences, to serve as a platform for information dissemination among scientists and practitioners, to enhance international links, and to contribute to the development of limnology.
