问题由于当地立地条件和土壤参数的调节作用，森林林下群落对预计的气候变化是敏感的还是惰性的，这是有争议的。气候或土壤的相对重要性往往很难区分，因为在森林中，这两个因素通常在不同的空间尺度上变化。本文比较了气候和土壤对低地山毛榉森林生态系统森林林下植被的相对影响，这些低地山毛榉森林生态系统因其生态同质性而被选择。位置在波罗的海第四纪地面冰雹景观中，沿着强温度梯度(ΔT从东到西，夏季从南到北)的9个地点，德国的Rostock和波兰的GdańSK之间的9个地点进行了植被调查，分析了气候和土壤参数在多大程度上解释了林下植物组成的差异。结果Soil解释了植被成分在不同地点的变化的32%气候因素占22%，它们之间的相互作用占14%。表层土壤pH、下层土壤有机质含量和下层土壤C/N比是最重要的土壤变量，生长季温度和年可用水量是最重要的气候变量。结论土壤性质的强烈依赖性可以调节森林林下植被对气候变化的响应。然而，森林土壤的性质也取决于主要树种和大气候。为了预测气候变化对森林林下植被的影响，气候变化评估应考虑间接气候变化影响以及气候与土壤之间的相互作用。
QuestionIt is debated whether forest understory communities will be sensitive to projected climate change or inert due to the regulating effect of local site conditions and soil parameters. A distinction between the relative importance of climate or soil is often hardly possible because both factors usually change at different spatial scales in forests. Here, we compare the relative influence of climate and soil on the forest understory vegetation in lowland beech forest ecosystems (Fagus sylvatica), which were selected for their ecological homogeneity.LocationNine sites along a strong temperature gradient (ΔT= 4 K from east to west in winter, south to north in summer) between Rostock (Germany) and Gdańsk (Poland) in a Baltic Quaternary ground moraine landscape.MethodsWe conducted a vegetation survey in 55 vegetation plots (80 m2each) across nine forest sites mono‐dominated by European beech and analysed how much variation in understory plant composition is explained by climate and soil parameters.ResultsSoil explained 32% of the compositional variation of understory vegetation across sites, climate 22%, and their interaction 14%. Topsoil pH, subsoil organic matter content, and subsoil C/N ratio were the most important soil variables; growing season temperature and annual water availability were the most important climatic variables.ConclusionThe strong dependence on soil properties could moderate the response of the forest understory vegetation to projected climate change. Forest soil properties, however, also depend on the dominant tree species and the macroclimate. To predict climate change impacts on forest understory vegetation, climate change assessments should consider indirect climate change effects as well as interactions between climate and soil.
