采用经典统计学与地统计学相结合的方法,对中国科学院沈阳生态实验站定位试验地耕层土壤中植物寄生线虫的空间分布特征进行研究。结果表明,在田间尺度下螺旋属(Helicotylenchus)、垫刃属(Tylenchus)是上下两层土壤中植物寄生线虫的优势属,矮化属(Tylenchorchychus)为下层土壤中的优势属,这3个属线虫数量占植物寄生线虫总数的92%。除下层矮化属线虫外,上下两层土壤中植物寄生线虫空间变异为48%-100%,其空间自相关范围为35~91m。克里格插值分析表明,上层土壤中植物寄生线虫总数与螺旋属线虫数量、上下层土壤中垫刃属线虫数量呈现出相似的空间分布格局。这些结果反映了不同属的植物寄生线虫沿水平和垂直方向活动性上的差异;由此可以进一步推测垫刃属和矮化属线虫向下迁移能力强于螺旋属线虫。
Understanding the spatial distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes in a cultivated horizon is important to the management of plant-parasitic nematodes in agricultural soils. Nematode distribution in the field has been described as aggregated, which implies underlying spatial dependence in nematode data. Conventional statistics are generally inadequate to describe data that are spatially correlated. However, geostatistics has become a powerful tool for analyzing the spatial distribution of nematodes. Recent studies on the spatial variability of soils have focused on soil nutrients, heavy metals, and nematode trophic groups in Northeast China, however, there is no information on the spatial distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes in Chinese agroecosystems. The objectives of this study were to describe the field-scale spatial distribution of total plant-parasitic nematodes and their dominant genera in a Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) site in Northeast China, and develop maps illustrating their horizontal and vertical distribution patterns.The spatial distribution characteristics of plant-parasitic nematodes in a cultivated horizon of a site-specific experimental field at the Shenyang Experimental Station of Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, was investigated using traditional statistics combined with geostatistics. A 42m × 30 m plot was divided into grids with 7m × 5 m spacing including 49 sampling points. Soil samples were collected from depths of 0 - 10 cm and 10 ~ 20 cm. The results showed that genera of Helicotylenchus and Tylenchus were the most dominant plant-parasitic nematodes at both depths and Tylenchorchychus was the dominant genus at the 10 - 20 cm depth, with the three genera together representing 92% of total plant-parasitic nematodes on average. Geostatistical analysis indicated that a major part of this variability was spatially-dependent; variograms suggest that 48 % - 100% of sample population variance was related to spatial autocorrelation over ranges of 35 - 91 m at both
