Vegetation dynamics at two mud volcanoes of Sakhalin Island (Russia): comparison of chronosequences

Botanical Garden and Institute FEB RAS, Vladivostok, Russia
There are two actives mud volcanoes in the southern part of Sakhalin Island (Far East, Russia), which strongly influence the surrounding vegetation and generate new sites for primary successions. Vegetation dynamics and chemical properties of mud substrate at chronosequence gradient were investigated. I created 425 vegetation sampling quadrates (1×1 m) in areas without forest vegetation and 24 plots (10×10 m) in forest areas around volcanoes (a ‘final’ stage of succession). I determined pH and total dissolved solids from the mud substrate of each succession stage. NMDS was used to assess the direction of succession trajectories. Total dissolved solids and pH of mud substrate decrease; floristic richness, total plant cover, and α-diversity of vegetation increase along the gradients of successions. At the final stage of succession, when the soil is no longer saline and has low pH, the similarity of the vegetation cover can be attributed by common regional condition suitable for coniferous forests.
Корзников К.А. Динамика растительности на двух грязевых вулканах острова Сахалин (Россия): сравнение временных рядов. На юге острова Сахалин (Дальний Восток, Россия) расположены два грязевых вулкана. Их активность сильно влияет на окружающую растительность и формирует субстраты, на которых разворачивается процесс пионерной сукцессии. На градиентах сукцессий были исследованы динамика растительного покрова и изменение химических параметров грязевых субстратов. Я выполнил описания на 425 пробных площадках (1×1 м) в пределах зарастающих грязевых полей и на 24 пробных площадях (10×10 м) в окружающих вулканы лесных сообществах («финальная» стадия сукцессии). Я определял pH и общую минерализацию водных вытяжек из грязевого субстрата. Многомерное неметрическое шкалирование было применено для непрямой ординации пробных площадок и определения траекторий сукцессий. На градиентах сукцессий общая минерализация и pH субстрата уменьшаются, а флористическая насыщенность, общее проективное покрытие и α-разнообразие растительных сообществ увеличиваются. На финальных стадиях сукцессий, когда субстрат перестает быть засоленным, и его pH становится низким, сходство растительного покрова двух вулканов определяется региональными условиями, поддерживающими существование темнохвойных лесов.
