摘要

树洞是全球野生动物的重要栖息地资源。在澳大利亚北部的热带稀树草原,树洞的丰富程度受到火灾和白蚁的影响。由于在这些生态系统中定期使用规定火种,因此了解火种管理对重要栖息地资源的影响非常重要,尤其是在长期使用火种的情况下。本研究利用长期用火试验(18 年的用火处理)和有针对性的白蚁与树洞调查,研究白蚁和不同的长期用火制度如何影响茎干掏空的比例和树洞入口的丰度。我们采用声波断层扫描技术,以非破坏性方式估算树干中空程度。树干直径被认为是预测树干空洞和空洞入口数量的最有力指标,大树的树干空洞比例更高,空洞入口数量也更多。靠近树基的茎干中空比例往往更大,迷你桉树的中空入口数量也比四叶桉树多。虽然茎干中空的比例并不影响中空入口的数量,但在1.3米处出现任何中空都与中空入口的数量有关。我们没有在单棵树的水平上检测到火灾活动对茎干掏空或空洞入口数量的影响,可能只有在林分水平上才能检测到这些影响,这是因为不同的火灾制度会改变树木的结构。由于大树往往有更多的空洞入口,因此促进野生动物栖息地的管理应侧重于避免景观中大树损失的火灾机制。

The influence of fire and termites on tree hollow development in an Australian tropical savanna
Tree hollows are important habitat resources for wildlife globally. In the tropical savannas of northern Australia, the abundance of tree hollows is influenced by both fire and termites. With the regular application of prescribed fire in these ecosystems, it is important to understand the implications of fire management on important habitat resources – especially when applied over the long-term. This study uses a long-term fire experiment (18 years of applied fire treatments) with targeted termite and tree hollow surveys to investigate how the proportion of stem hollowing and abundance of hollow entrances are affected by termites and different long-term fire regimes. We used sonic tomography in a novel application to non-destructively estimate tree stem hollowing. Trunk diameter was identified as the strongest predictor of both stem hollowing and hollow entrance abundance, with larger trees having a greater proportion of the stem hollowing and greater number of hollow entrances. The proportion of stem hollowing tended to be greater closer to the base of the tree, and the number of hollow entrances was greater in Eucalyptus miniata than E. tetrodonta. While the proportion of stem that was hollowed did not influence the number of hollow entrances, the presence of any hollowing at 1.3 m was associated with more hollow entrances. We did not detect an effect of fire activity on stem hollowing or the abundance of hollow entrances at the individual tree level, and it may be that these effects are only detectable at the stand level due to changes in tree demographics with varying fire regimes. As large trees tend to have more hollow entrances, management to promote habitat for wildlife should focus on fire regimes that avoid the loss of large trees in the landscape.

期刊介绍: Forest Ecology and Management publishes scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management, focusing on the application of biological, ecological and social knowledge to the management and conservation of plantations and natural forests. The scope of the journal includes all forest ecosystems of the world. A peer-review process ensures the quality and international interest of the manuscripts accepted for publication. The journal encourages communication between scientists in disparate fields who share a common interest in ecology and forest management, bridging the gap between research workers and forest managers. We encourage submission of papers that will have the strongest interest and value to the Journal''s international readership. Some key features of papers with strong interest include: 1. Clear connections between the ecology and management of forests; 2. Novel ideas or approaches to important challenges in forest ecology and management; 3. Studies that address a population of interest beyond the scale of single research sites, Three key points in the design of forest experiments, Forest Ecology and Management 255 (2008) 2022-2023); 4. Review Articles on timely, important topics. Authors are welcome to contact one of the editors to discuss the suitability of a potential review manuscript. The Journal encourages proposals for special issues examining important areas of forest ecology and management. Potential guest editors should contact any of the Editors to begin discussions about topics, potential papers, and other details.
