2012年8-9月对内蒙古准格尔旗黑岱沟露天煤矿排土场乔木、乔木+灌木、乔木+草本(禾本科)、乔木+草本(豆科)和撂荒地5种人工植被配置条件下生物土壤结皮(BSCs)盖度和厚度进行了调查。结果表明:不同植被配置条件下BSCs的总盖度均超过了50%,乔木和乔木+草本(豆科)配置条件下藓类结皮的盖度最高,分别为56%和43%,显著高于其他配置条件下藓类结皮的盖度;乔木+草本(禾本科)配置条件下藓类结皮的盖度最高(34%),显著高于其他配置条件下藓类结皮的盖度。不同植被配置条件下BSCs的厚度均超过了0.30cm,其中乔木+灌木配置条件下的BSCs厚度最高为0.55cm,显著高于其他配置条件下BSCs厚度。露天煤矿排土场进行植被恢复有助于BSCs的拓殖和发育,植被配置类型和植被盖度显著影响BSCs的盖度和厚度。
During August to September of 2012, a survey on coverage and thickness of biological soil crusts (BSCs) was carried on a dumping site in the open pit coal mine of Heidaigou in Inner Mongolia. Fifteen woody plots with a size of 10 m - 10 m, 45 herbage plots with a size of 1.0 m - 1.0 m and 150 biological soil crusts plots with a size of 0.2 m - 0.2 m were set under five re- vegetation types of arbor, arbor + shrub, arbor + herbage (Gramineae), arbor + herbage (Legw- minosae) and abandoned farmland. The results showed that the total coverage of BSCs was more than 50% under each of the five re-vegetation types. The algae crust coverage under arbor and arbor + herbage (Leguminosae) re-vegetations was 56% and 43%, respectively, being higher than under other re-vegetation types. The moss crust coverage under arbor + herbage (Gramine- ae) re-vegetation was 34%, being higher than under other re-vegetation types. The thickness of BSCs under arbor + shrub re-vegetation was 0.55 cm, being higher than under other re-vegeta- tion types. Vegetation restoration is beneficial to BSCs colonizing and growth at the dumping site of the open pit coal mine, and re-vegetation types and vegetation coverage significantly influence BSCs coverage and thickness.
