Vertical Distribution Characteristics and Hydrological Function Analysis of Bryophytes in Qilian Mountains Forest Areas
Bryophytes are the main understory dominant species in forest areas of Qilian Mountain
which play an important role in keeping a humid environment
surface runoff modulation and water sources holding.We conducted a field investigation of bryophytes along altitude gradient
and made a detailed bryophytes taxonomy.Based on the characteristics of bryophytes distribution
partitioning them into different distribution zones
including low altitude bryophytes distribution zones
arboreal bryophytes distribution zones and alpine bryophytes distribution zones.The water-holding capacity of bryophytes varied with its layers' thickness
and reached the maximum 519.44% when the layers is 7.4 cm thick.In the forest areas
bryophytes water content showed a downtrend from May to September
with maximum occurred in May and minimum in July
moreover
soil with bryophytes coverage showed lower evaporation than that without bryophytes coverage
