摘要: 该文采用典型样地调查法,对草海黑颈鹤(Grus nigricollis)觅食栖息地黑颈鹤觅食地植物群落营养成分及生产量进行分析。结果表明,荆三棱(Scirpus yagara)块茎具有较高的粗蛋白、磷、氮含量以及较低的粗纤维含量,对维持黑颈鹤的能量和营养需求最为重要;各植物的生产量(以绿茎和嫩茎计)大小依次为:香蒲(Typha orientalis)>荆三棱>茭白(Zizania latifolia)>灯芯草(Juncus effusus)>水葱(S. validus)>水毛花(S. triangulatus)>刚毛荸荠(Eleocharis vallcculosa);荆三棱、水葱、水毛花、刚毛荸荠分布区域水位较浅,利于黑颈鹤觅食,而茭白和香蒲分布区域水位较深不利于黑颈鹤觅食。该调查结果对于草海保护区的黑颈鹤觅食栖息地保护管理、修复具有重要的指导意义。Abstract: We studied nutrients and biomass of plants in foraging areas of Black-necked Cranes (Grus nigricollis) at Caohai. Our results showed that the Scirpus yagara was the most valuable food plant for Black-necked Cranes for its high content of crude protein, N, P and low content of crude fiber. S. yagara, S. validus, S. triangulates and Heleocharis valleculosa grow in the shallow water area which is accessible to Black-necked Cranes, while Zizania latifolia and Eleocharis vallcculosa live in the deep water that cannot be used by the cranes. Plants with biomass in stems and leaves from high to low are: Typha orientalis> S. yagara>Zizania latifolia> Juncus effusus>S. validus>S. triangulatus>Eleocharis vallcculosa. Our study is critical in guiding management and restoration measures for habitats of Black-necked Cranes at Caohai.
