以实际调查的4个物种的34个不同样本量(5,6,8,10,15,20,25,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,120,150,180,200,220,250,300,350,400,450,500,550,600,650,700,800,900,1 000,1 200)为例,模拟计算分析不同的样本量对MaxEnt物种分布模型的精度和稳定性的影响。结果表明: 总体上来看,样本量的大小对MaxEnt模型预测物种空间分布的精度影响不大,在样本量较小时,精度不稳定,随着样本量的增大(训练数据在样本量50左右,检验数据在样本量120左右),MaxEnt模型的预测精度越来越稳定。
Prediction of species distribution and its changes play more and more important roles in the fields of ecological protection and application as well as global climate changes. It is impracticable to survey species distribution in large area, especially rare species. Considering that very few species distribution data have been accumulated, employ species distribution model fitting technique is highly necessary in the process of predicting species distribution. Sampling size has an important influence on expense of actual survey and accuracy of model prediction. In terms of accuracy of species distribution model and expense of forest survey, it is necessary to investigate the least sampling size when species distribution models reach the most accuracy. Thirty-four different sampling sizes(5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 800, 900, 1 000 and 1 200) of four species were used to simulate the influence of different sample sizes on the precision and stability of MaxEnt species distribution model. The results showed that sampling sizes had no obvious influence on MaxEnt. The accuracy of MaxEnt was unstable when sampling size was small, but as sampling size was increasing(sampling size of training data was about 50, test data was about 120), the accuracy was more stable.
