Mingling,its concept was put forward by Gadow in 1992,is an important indicator to reflect species mutual segregation in a forest community,and is a significant forest spatial structure index.Currently,many mingling indices have been proposed.A simple mingling index Mg proposed by Gadow only involves the difference between objective trees and their nearest neighbor trees,and cannot accurately reflect the response of tree species to spatial segregation,which was noticed by Tang Mengping(2004) and Hui Gangying(2008).They put forward tree species diversity mingling Mv(further considering the number of nearest tree species) and tree species spatial status Ms(further considering the number of tree species in spatial structure unit),respectively.However,Mv and Ms cannot distinguish the difference between two of the same species on four of the nearest tree species and three of the same species on four of the nearest tree species.Actually,two of the same species on four of the nearest tree species are different in sequence and interleaving arrangement,but they are the same in the analysis of Mv and Ms.Virtually,neighborhood spatial permutation is a significant factor in describing tree species spatial segregation,which was ignored by Mv and Ms.Therefore,a new mingling index,Mp based on neighborhood spatial permutation has been put forward in this paper. "1+4" structure,which was the abbreviation of optimum spatial structure unit proposed by Hui Gangying(2003),composed by one objective tree and four of its nearest trees,and has 17 spatial structure units that are different in tree species spatial permutation.Mp was compared with Mg,Mv and Ms through 17 spatial structure units and evergreen broad-leaved data from Tianmu Mountain,a national nature reserve in Zhejiang province.Data were collected in a 1hm2(100m×100m) permanent plot that had been established in 2005.The results show that Mp has the strongest distinction among them,Mv and Ms are the second,Mg is the worst.The ranking of the different mingling values was: MgMpMs,MgMv.Ms and Mp are both able to adequately analyze the simple mixed stand.Mp is the best mingling index among them to analyze the complex mixed stand.Here,there is a high value of mingling,if Mg is used.Sometimes,Mv is unable to analyze the tree species spatial segregation.Spatial structure units which have two of the same species on four of the nearest tree species are different in sequence and interleaving arrangement,and the number of sequence arrangement is significantly more than that of interleaving,and thus there is a moderate mingling level on evergreen broad-leaved in Tianmu Mountain.Mp is based on neighborhood spatial permutation and can distinguish tree species spatial segregation accurately,and has higher distinction degree accuracy than that of traditional mingling.This better reflects the actual mixed situation of forest,and is an effective indicator to reflect species mutual segregation in a forest community."1+4" structure has 17 different spatial structure units,however,what needs further study is the number of spatial structure units in the "1+n" structure,and how to determine the deduction relation.Further,the number of units may obey certain mathematic distributions in natural mixed forests,and the mathematic distribution function may be a significant reference to measure the near-natural degree of cultivation in mixed forests.These issues need further study. |
