As a common management strategy in forestry production，thinning could have a significantimpact and interference on phytocoenosium and forest animals，and subsequently affect animal-mediatedseed dispersal and forest regeneration． To understand the potential influence of thinning on the process ofrodent-mediated seed dispersal，a study was conducted in April 2012． Seeds of Prunus armeniaca weremarked and tracked in un-thinning and thinning forest in Mt． Wangwu area． The results showed that: 1)the relative density of rodent population drastically reduced from 6． 7% in un-thinning forest to 2． 7% inthinning forest; 2) the density of tree and shrub in thinning forest decreases from 56． 3% to 72． 7% ; 3)seed dispersal rate in un-thinning forest ( half survival time: 2 days) was significantly higher than inthinning forest ( half survival time: 10 days) ; 4) the difference of burying depth between un-thinning for-est ( 4． 3 ± 0． 1) cm and thinning forest ( 3． 9 ± 0． 2) cm was significant; 5) more scatter-hoarded seedswere retrieved and buried again in un-thinning forest ( 20． 3% ) than in thinning forest ( 4． 4% ) ． Theseresults suggested that thinning have inevitable influence on plant community structure and the seed dis-persal behavior of rodents，and finally affect the seed fate and seedling recruitment． |
