RESUMEN
The unique geographical and climatic conditions in the Three-River Headwaters Region gave birth to distinctive plant species and vegetation types. To reveal the spatial distribution of plant communities and soil habitats along the riparian zone of the Sanjiangyuan Region and their influencing mechanisms, 14 survey plots were set up ï¼ten from the Yangtze River source, two from the Lancang River source, and two from the Yellow River sourceï¼, and the effects of soil nutrient characteristics ï¼especially soil phosphorus morphologyï¼, climate factors, and river topography on plant community characteristics were quantitatively analyzed. The results showed that the plant community composition in the riparian zone of the source of the three rivers was dominated by perennial herbs ï¼72.2%ï¼, followed by annual herbs ï¼20.4%ï¼ and shrubs ï¼7.4%ï¼. The dominant plants were Stipa purpurea, Polygonum orbiculatum, Carex parvula, Potentilla anserina, and Gentiana straminea. The average plant coverage, Shannon-Wiener index, and Pielou index were ï¼64.4% ±23.6%ï¼, ï¼1.31 ±0.42ï¼, and ï¼0.84 ±0.08ï¼, respectively. The plant community diversity index was the highest in the Yangtze River source, followed by that in the Lancang River source, and the lowest in the Yellow River source. The soil pH of the riparian zone of the Yangtze River source was significantly higher than that of the Lancang River source, whereas the mean contents of organic matter, total nitrogen, and Fe-Al combined phosphorus were significantly lower than those of the Lancang River source. The calcium and magnesium-combined phosphorus was the main form of phosphorus in riparian soil ï¼63.89%ï¼. Temperature, soil organic phosphorus content, and pH had significant effects on plant composition in the riparian zone of the Three-River Headwaters Region, whereas soil calcium and magnesium-combined phosphorus content had significant effects on plant community diversities. These results may deepen the scientific understanding of the evolution trend and genetic mechanism of plant communities in the riparian zone of the Three-River Headwaters Region.

In order to explore the spatial-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton assemblages and its influencing factors in Tangpu Reservoir, phytoplankton and environmental variables were monthly monitored in 2011. The results showed that a total of 115 species of phytoplankton were identified, which belonged to 7 phyla and 62 genera. Phytoplankton abundance varied monthly with the maximum value (20.88×106 cells·L-1) in April and minimum (0.59×106 cells·L-1) in June. Variation partitioning of species data matrix showed that the variation of phytoplankton communities among months (account for 72.3%) was much larger than that among sampling sites (account for 2.5%), which indicated that phytoplankton communities had a high temporal but low spatial heterogeneity. Dominant species showed a marked seasonal succession pattern: diatom and blue-green algae species in spring, blue-green algae and green algae species in summer, diatom and cryptomonads species in autumn and winter. Result of multivariate analysis (RDA) indicated that HRT was the key factor affecting the shift between hydrological disturbance sensitive and tolerant species, and the formation of spring algal bloom; SiO2, WT and N:P were the key factors affecting the shift from diatom and cryptomonads species to blue-green algae and green algae species.
