    EFFECTS OF FOOD WEB SIMPLIFICATION AND SURFACE RUNOFF PULSE ON MACROZOOBENTHIC COMMUNITY STRUCTURE AND DIVERSITY UNDER CLIMATE WARMING

    • 摘要: 淡水生态系统面临严峻的生物多样性丧失挑战, 而气候变暖及人类活动引起的环境扰动正进一步加剧这一趋势。为探究多重环境压力对淡水底栖动物群落结构及多样性的影响, 本研究开展了包含气候变暖处理(环境温度与环境温度+2℃)、食物网简化(复杂与简化食物网)及地表径流脉冲扰动(有/无)的三因子交互实验。研究结果表明, 地表径流脉冲扰动显著提高了底栖动物群落总丰度, 但对总生物量无显著影响。在分类单元水平上, 脉冲扰动显著促进了摇蚊属(Chironomus sp.)的丰度与生物量, 而升温和食物网简化的交互作用使裸泽蛭(Helobdella nuda)种群生长呈显著促进趋势。多样性分析方面, 地表径流脉冲扰动显著降低了功能丰富度和平均分类差异指数, 食物网简化对功能丰富度具有抑制作用。相关性分析显示, 物种多样性、功能多样性和分类差异多样性指标之间整体呈显著正相关关系, 表明多维多样性在群落整体响应中具有一致性变化趋势。总体而言, 在本研究环境压力水平下, 地表径流脉冲扰动在多重环境压力中发挥主导作用, 表现出促进丰度提升而削弱多样性的双重效应。本研究揭示了多重胁迫下底栖动物群落结构与多维多样性的响应机制, 为淡水生态系统生物多样性保护与管理提供理论支撑。

       

      Abstract: Freshwater ecosystems are facing severe biodiversity loss, which is being further intensified by climate warming and anthropogenic environmental disturbances. To explore the effects of multiple environmental stressors on macrozoobenthos community structure and biodiversity, a three-factor mesocosm experiment was conducted, including warming (ambient temperature vs. +2℃), food web simplification (complex vs. simplified food webs), and surface runoff pulse disturbance (with vs. without). The results showed that surface runoff pulses significantly increased the total abundance of macrozoobenthos, whereas no significant effects were detected on total biomass. At the taxonomic level, surface runoff pulses significantly increased the abundance and biomass of Chironomus sp., while the interaction between warming and food web simplification significantly enhanced the abundance and biomass of Helobdella nuda. Regarding biodiversity, surface runoff pulses significantly decreased functional richness, and average taxonomic distinctness, whereas food web simplification also negatively affected functional richness. Correlation analysis revealed that species diversity, functional diversity and taxonomic distinctness diversities were generally positively correlated, indicating broadly consistent response among different dimensions of biodiversity. Overall, under the experimental conditions applied in this study, surface runoff pulses played a dominant role among the multiple stressors, simultaneously increasing community abundance while reducing multidimensional biodiversity. This study elucidates the response mechanisms of macrozoobenthos community structure and multidimensional diversity under multiple environmental stressors, providing a theoretical basis for biodiversity conservation and management in freshwater ecosystems.
