摘要

The relationships between soil and some biotic variables including plant distribution at small scales were studied in a semiarid gypsum environment in Spain. This was carried out by means of Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) as a hypothesis-testing tool. CCA models show that the spatial data matrix is able to explain a relevant fraction of the soil dataset (P<0.001). The most important variable, as firstly selected in the CCA stepwise selection procedure, suggests the existence of a vegetation-elevation gradient in relation to soil physical properties; the rest of selected variables indicates the existence of other spatial trends which may be related to certain microgeomorphological features. On the other hand, only the cover of annuals andthe cover of litter are selected in the case of the biotic dataset as a constraining matrix, but not the cover of any perennial plant. Partial CCA models indicated that the remaining information explained by the spatial dataset after adjusting the bioticset as covariables is also significant (P<0.001). This variability is not related to the existence of vegetation bands as shown by the two selected variables in the case of the partial CCA models. The primary source of spatial soil variation is relatedto the existence of three community bands and these differences are able to explain even the change of plant life forms in vegetated band. The soil parameters controlling the changes are mainly related to texture and surface features. However, we detected other sources of spatial soil variation out of this primary model. This hierarchical spatial pattern seems to be related to some geomorphological traits of the landscape, such as soil crust strength, presence of gypsum crystals or bare zones, and not to the presence of mature gypsophytes (at least the five most frequent) which might ameliorate the soil environment. Furthermore, the biotic dataset is not able to explain any new fraction of soil variability out of that already explained by the spatial dataset.
