南岭中段弄蝶空间分布格局及多样性分析

为了分析南岭中段区域弄蝶(Hesperiidae)的物种组成、南坡与北坡的差异、不同海拔弄蝶的多样性及生态分布特点,选择南岭中段广东南岭自然保护区(南坡)和湖南莽山自然保护区(北坡)为监测区开展研究。2012—2015年共发现弄蝶83种,其中南坡73种,北坡43种,加之前人调查和记录的共有53属144种,其中东洋区占80.56%,东洋-古北区占14.58%;在中国动物地理区中,华南、西南、华中3区共有种占31.25%,仅分布于华南区占29.17%,华南区与西南区共有种占13.89%,华南区与华中区共有种占12.50%。在种的数量上,南坡高于北坡;除北坡海拔600 m外,各监测点种的数量存在年际间波动,呈现先下降后上升再下降的趋势,且优势种不相同,南坡海拔600、1 100 m和北坡600 m的优势种均为旖弄蝶Isoteinon lamprospilus,而北坡1 100m的优势种为白弄蝶Abraximorphadavidii,山顶的优势种为无趾弄蝶Hasoraanura;中等海拨(1 000—1 100 m)山地常绿阔叶林中的物种数、种群密度和各生物多样性指数,均高于低山常绿阔叶林(500—600 m)和山顶矮林(1 850—1 902 m),该结果符合有关生物多样性的"中间高度膨胀"假说;南北坡间各监测点相似性指数在0.095—0.465,相似性指数最大的均是海拔500 m。南岭中段弄蝶在组分上呈现热带向亚热带过渡的特点,有明显的以南岭为核心向周边扩散的现象,暗示了南岭中段可能为中国弄蝶的起源和分化中心之一。该研究结果可为林业区划、环境监测、蝶类资源的保护与可持续性开发利用等提供科学依据。     

基于净初级生产力的能源足迹模型及其与传统模型的比较分析

将净初级生产力和土地利用变化2个新指标纳入传统能源足迹模型,构建了基于净初级生产力的能源足迹模型。应用传统模型和改进后的模型分别计算了1999—2008年的吉林省能源足迹,并对2组结果进行了比较分析。研究结果表明：10年间,采用传统模型计算的吉林省人均能源足迹由0.7908hm2增至1.6770hm2,采用净初级生产力模型计算的人均能源足迹由0.2490hm2增至0.5237hm2。2种模型的计算结果在整体变化趋势和构成顺序上较为一致,但在历年变化速率和具体构成份额上存在一定差别。净初级生产力模型扩展了传统模型的研究范围,并在碳吸收参数选取等方面进行了较大改进,所得结果反映了区域综合碳吸收能力下的能源消费生态环境影响,更符合区域自然和社会实际状况,一定程度上是对传统模型的完善。     

2000—2018年云南省典型矿区植被生态时空变化特征——以临沧市为例

矿区植被生态恢复特征及其影响因素分析对矿区生态治理与植被恢复建设具有重要的参考价值和现实意义。以云南省典型矿区-临沧市为研究区,利用2000—2018年MODIS资料和气象观测数据,基于陆地生态系统碳通量TEC模型,结合趋势分析、相关分析等统计方法,揭示了2000年以来云南省典型矿区——临沧市的植被覆盖度、植被净初级生产力等时空变化特征及其与气候因子关系。结果表明,(1)矿区植被净初级生产力年均值为980.1 g·m~(-2)·a~(-1)(以C计,下同),2000年以来区域NPP总体呈增加的趋势,平均每年增加6.2g·m~(-2)·a~(-1);在空间分布上,有90.5%区域植被NPP呈增加趋势。(2)矿区植被覆盖度多年均值为67.3%,2000年以来呈显著增加的趋势,平均每年增加0.42%,有92.2%区域植被覆盖度呈增加趋势。(3)不同类型植被净初级生产力均呈增加的趋势,但变化趋势率存在一定的差异,其中常绿阔叶林、落叶阔叶林、灌丛、草地植被净初级生产力平均值最大。(4)矿区植被NPP与降水之间呈显著的正相关性,相关系数为0.737,但与气温、日照时数的相关性未达到显著水平;矿区植被覆盖度与各气象因子间的相关性也均未达到显著水平。2000年以来云南省典型矿区植被呈现向好趋势,说明近些年生态文明建设效果良好。     

辽河三角洲地区植被的地上净初级生产力格局及其制约因子

植被地上净初级生产力是监测和评价生态系统功能的重要指标之一,也是农业区划和生态资源分区管理的重要依据。通过实地调查,研究了辽河三角洲地区的植被地上净初级生产力的空间分布格局及其制约因子。2008年9月末,在辽河三角洲地区设立79个调查点,调查了植被地上净初级生产力、土壤和水文特征。借助ArcGIS软件制作了植被地上净初级生产力的分层设色等值线图,并利用简单相关分析和无条件主成分分析方法探讨了植被地上净初级生产力与环境因子的关系。结果发现：辽河三角洲地区的植被地上净初级生产力具有内部较低,外围较高的半环形分布格局。在三角洲内部,植被地上净初级生产力一般1 500 g.m-2.a-1左右;外围一般3 000 g.m-2.a-1以上。这种分布格局不仅与植被类型分布有一定的相关性,而且还与海拔高度、土壤含水量、土壤容重和土壤总磷等自然环境因子有明显的相关性。多种证据表明土壤含水量是决定辽河三角洲地区植被地上净初级生产力格局的最直接、最重要的自然环境因子。     

全尺度人工湿地中植物多样性对生产力与多样性效应的影响

在中国东南部的全尺度复合垂直流人工湿地中开展2年的植物多样性实验,以研究植物多样性（包括植物物种丰富度和植物组成）对群落生产力与多样性效应（即互补效应、选择效应和净多样性效应）的影响及其产生机制。结果表明,2007年物种丰富度与群落生产力呈线形正相关,而2008年显著的单峰格局,其关系式为：y=-0.213x2＋3.455x＋15.192（R=0.215）。2008年物种丰富度与互补效应呈显著地线形负相关,而2007年呈单峰格局,其关系式为：y=-0.389x2＋6.974x-10.707（R=0.247）,而且2007年与2008年的互补效应与生产力都呈显著的正相关,表明互补效应对生产力的提高有重要作用。然而,2007年与2008年物种丰富度与选择效应之间均没有显著相关性,且选择效应与群落生产力之间也没有显著相关性,表明选择效应对生产力的提高作用不显著。2007年与2008年中物种组成对生产力、互补效应、选择效应与净多样性效应均有显著影响,说明人工湿地的植物配置对其生态系统功能的维持尤为重要。2008年物种丰富度与净多样性效应呈极显著地线形负相关,而2007年呈显著单峰格局,其关系式为：y=-0.329 x2＋5.968 x-12.659（R=0.234）,这种趋势主要是由于植物多样性-生态系统功能关系的影响因素（如物种的竞争力和生态位）在2年中有所变化。同时,2007年与2008年的多样性净效应与生产力都呈显著正相关关系,表明生产力与多样性净效应的变化趋势是同步的。与抽样效应假说不同的是,本实验中单种最高产物种（芦竹）在混种时没有表现出高产,主要是由于生长的分配、资源的竞争力与环境的变化等。     

祁连山大野口小流域生态系统水文调节服务的尺度特征

生态水文服务是生态系统服务的主要内容之一,在上游山地生态系统主要为通过植被-土壤复合体实现的水文调节服务。通过在祁连山中段北坡大野口小流域的监测及对2002—2010年间降水/径流的统计和相关分析发现,山地生态系统通过水文调节将不连续的大气降水转化成连续、相对稳定的径流,显著调节了径流的时间和空间分布。在次降雨和连续降雨期尺度上水文调节主要影响样地的降水-植被-土壤水的响应关系,在流域尺度上则影响大气降水-径流的关系。通过降水/径流比值在月、年尺度上的统计和相关分析发现,植被在生长季对流域径流量存在影响,但并没有影响到小流域大气降水-径流产流变化的年内总体趋势;植被生长对径流的影响可以在年际间反映出来。通过对2002—2010年植被指数(叶面积、净初级生产力和植被覆盖度)与"蓝水"、"绿水"占总降水量的比例的线性回归分析及相关分析发现,植被指数的提高与"蓝水"的减少和"绿水"的增加有一定的关联性。根据该研究结论,对祁连山区生态系统水文服务的评价应综合考虑上游生态维持与中、下游农牧业以及整个祁连山地区经济社会的协调发展,应客观认识上游山地生态系统"绿水"贮存与中、下游"蓝水"需求之间的矛盾关系。     

中亚高海拔梯度山盆系统草地净初级生产力时空演变格局及其驱动机制分析

山盆系统是中亚地区独特而复杂的地貌结构,其较大的海拔梯度差导致了草地净初级生产力(NPP,netprimary productivity)的空间异质性和对气候变化与人类活动的不同响应。定量评价气候变化和人为活动对中亚山地盆地系统草地的相对影响,对草地管理和草地可持续利用具有重要意义。选择NPP作为反映草地动态过程的指标,基于MODIS NDVI数据和气候数据等,运用CASA模型、Thornthwaite Memoria模型和HANPP模型分别对2001—2015年间NPP进行模拟,采用情景分析方法研究气候变化和人类活动对2001—2015年中亚山地盆地系统高海拔梯度差下草地NPP变化的相对影响。结果表明:15年间,草地NPP呈上升趋势的区域(35.88%)所占的面积小于下降趋势的区域(64.12%)所占面积。人类活动、气候变化以及两者共同促进NPP增加的贡献率分别为6.19%、81.30%和12.51%。人类活动促进草地NPP增加的区域主要集中在夏牧场最北部的山地;人类活动导致NPP减少的面积占退化总面积的98.21%,且主要发生在中低海拔的春秋牧场和冬牧场。2001—2015年期间,降水量的增加是促进研究区草地NPP增加的主导因素。在温度较高的中低海拔地区(460—2 460m),草地NPP与降水呈正相关,植被NPP对降水更为敏感;而在降水较充沛的高海拔地区(2 460m以上),草地NPP与气温呈正相关,且植被NPP对气温更为敏感。研究结果表明,人类活动是导致草地退化的主要原因,建议当地政府应采取相关措施降低放牧压力,并沿额尔齐斯河和乌伦古尔河沿岸建植人工草地,以缓解春秋牧场和冬牧场的放牧压力。该研究结果可为中亚干旱地区山盆系统的草地管理和草地退化防治提供可靠依据。     

1994—2008年河南省植被净第一性生产力及其时空变化

基于地理信息系统和卫星遥感技术,利用地面气象数据、遥感数据和土地分类等数据,根据河南省实际植被覆盖和自然地理情况,应用改进的CASA模型估算了1994—2008年间河南省植被净第一性生产力及其时空变化。结果表明：河南省植被净第一性生产力与年均温度的相关性好于植被年净第一性生产力与年降水量和年均太阳辐射之间的相关性,温度是限制河南省植被净第一性生产力的主要因子;15年来河南省植被净第一性生产力呈增加趋势,但不明显;河南省主要植被类型的净第一性生产力从大到小依次为林地、灌丛、耕地、草地、其它植被,它们随时间的变化趋势极为一致。     

黄河源区植被生长季NDVI时空特征及其对气候变化的响应

利用黄河源区MODIS/NDVI数据、1∶100万植被类型图和气象资料,分析了该区不同植被类型生长季NDVI时空特征以及与气候因子的关系。结果表明,1）2000—2011年,黄河源区植被生长呈改善趋势,生长季NDVI年际变化率每10 a为＋2.75%,高寒草原、高寒草甸、高寒灌丛生长季NDVI年际变化率分别为每10 a＋2.84%、＋2.65%、＋2.77%。2）黄河源区植被改善面积占全区总面积的29.39%,主要分布在卡日曲和玛曲上游、扎曲流域、布青山南麓、扎陵湖北部和鄂陵湖周边地区。植被退化面积仅占全区总面积的0.98%,主要分布在约古宗列曲东南部山地和卡日曲北部山地。受水热条件控制,植被改善表现为：①植被改善面积南坡大于北坡;②植被改善面积随海拔升高先增加后减小;③植被改善面积随坡度增加迅速减小。3）黄河源区植被生长季NDVI与同期气温和降水分别存在显著正相关性,其中高寒草原和高寒草甸生长受降水影响更为明显,而高寒灌丛生长受气温影响更为明显。气候的暖湿化趋势可能是促使黄河源区植被生长改善的主要原因。     

CO_2倍增和气候变化对北京山区栓皮栎林NPP影响研究

应用生物地球化学过程模型BIOME-BGC估算了1977—1992年北京妙峰山栓皮栎（Quercus variabilis）林的净第一性生产力（NPP）,并分析气候对NPP年际变化的影响以及未来气候变化情景下对NPP的影响。结果表明：1977—1992年15年间栓皮栎的NPP（以C计）平均值为340.17g·m-2·a-1,NPP（以C计）变化在143.56～431.56g·m-2·a-1之间,并无明显的整体变化趋势,但表现出明显的年际变化,年际变动率达18%。在这段时间内降水量成为控制栓皮栎林NPP年际变化的主要气候因子。通过设置18种不同未来气候方案进行栓皮栎林NPP模拟表明,CO2浓度加倍会降低栓皮栎林的NPP但降低幅度较小。在CO2浓度不变的情况下,温度升高2.0℃和降水的协同增加以及单个因子的增加都有利于NPP的积累,但协同增加不如单个因子的增加对NPP的积累效应明显;在CO2和气候同时改变的情况下,CO2浓度加倍、温度升高2.0℃和降水的协同增加有利于NPP的积累且协同增加比单个因子的增加对NPP的积累效应明显,但各因子之间交互作用较弱。     

The distribution of,and relation among,mercury and methylmercury,organic carbon,carbonate, nitrogen and phosphorus,in periphyton of the South Florida ecosystem

Periphyton samples from Water Conservation Areas, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Everglades National Park in south Florida were analyzed for concentrations of total mercury, methylmercury, nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon, and inorganic carbon. Concentrations of total mercury in periphyton decrease slightly along a gradient from north‐to‐south. Both total mercury and methylmercury are positively correlated with organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in periphyton. In horizontal sections of periphyton mats, total mercury concentrations tend to be largest at the tops and bottoms of the mats. Methylmercury concentrations tend to be the largest near the bottom of mats. These localized elevated concentrations of methylmercury suggest that there are “hot spots”; of methylmercury in periphyton.

Fragmentation of Phragmites Habitats, Minimum Viable Population Size, Habitat Suitability, and Local Extinction of Moths, Midges, Flies, Aphids, and Birds

Results from populations of insects and birds inhabiting Phragmites habitats were used to analyze effects of fragmentation. Flush-crash cycles of the stem-boring moth Archanara geminipuncta (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) showed regionally concurrent, local extinctions despite an originally enormous population size (more than 180,000 adults), emphasizing the importance of metapopulation dynamics. Further, A. geminipuncta could be considered a keystone species, since shoot damage facilitated more than twenty species of herbivores, saprovores (of the caterpillars' feces), and their parasitoids. The gall midge Lasioptera arundinis could survive only in side shoots induced by shoot damage of A. geminipuncta .
Small Phragmites stands had thinner shoots (due to a water or nutrient deficiency) and shoots with more leaves (due to a better light supply) than large stands, thereby influencing species-specific demands for habitat suitability and nutritiousness of reed tissue. In other words significance of habitat fragmentation could not be assessed by area alone. For example, two chloropid flies depending on thin, yellowish shoots survived only in small habitats or in the unmown edges of large habitats.
Local persistence of Phragmites herbivores depended on much larger population sizes than could be expected from a population size sufficient to maintain genetic variation. At least 11,000 adults of the gall midge Giraudiella inclusa (or more than 84,000 galls) were necessary to avoid local extinction.
With regard to conservation management of reed habitats, nature reserves should consist of old and unmown reeds, have fewer disturbed (particularly, fewer mown) habitat edges, measure more than two hectares (priority should go to the largest remaining fragments), and be surrounded by nearby reed habitats providing reservoir populations and diverse shoot types.     

Lead,cadmium, copper,zinc, iron,and calcium in human hair as a function of gender,age, smoking,and hair dyeing

Hair samples were collected randomly from 110 subjects (55 male and 55 female) ranging in age from (<15–60) years. Each subject was asked to complete a personal questionnaire describing his/her sex, age, general health, smoking, use of hair dyes, occupational area, and living habits. Concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, and Ca in human hair samples were evaluated using atomic absorption spectrometry. Results indicated that concentrations of Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn in the hair of smokers were higher than those in the hair of non-smokers, whereas, Fe and Ca concentrations in hair of smokers were lower than those in hair of non-smokers. Moreover, the concentrations of these elements are higher in dyed hair compared with undyed hair.     

Research progress on distribution,sources, identification,toxicity, and biodegradation of microplastics in the ocean,freshwater, and soil environment

• Microplastics are widely found in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. • Cleaning products and discarded plastic waste are primary sources of microplastics. • Microplastics have apparent toxic effects on the growth of fish and soil plants. • Multiple strains of biodegradable microplastics have been isolated. Microplastics (MPs) are distributed in the oceans, freshwater, and soil environment and have become major pollutants. MPs are generally referred to as plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter. They consist of primary microplastics synthesized in microscopic size manufactured production and secondary microplastics generated by physical and environmental degradation. Plastic particles are long-lived pollutants that are highly resistant to environmental degradation. In this review, the distribution and possible sources of MPs in aquatic and terrestrial environments are described. Moreover, the adverse effects of MPs on natural creatures due to ingestion have been discussed. We also have summarized identification methods based on MPs particle size and chemical bond. To control the pollution of MPs, the biodegradation of MPs under the action of different microbes has also been reviewed in this work. This review will contribute to a better understanding of MPs pollution in the environment, as well as their identification, toxicity, and biodegradation in the ocean, freshwater, and soil, and the assessment and control of microplastics exposure.     

Beijing's coordinated development of population,resources, environment,and economy

Since the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing at 2008, the urban development plan of Beijing deserves special attention. The essence of regional sustainable development is that population (P), resources (R), environment (E) and economy (E) could develop with sustenance, order and coordination during a certain period, which forms a complex system called the PREE complex system. For this system, a multi-objective integrated model is formulated and solved by a nonlinear goal programming technique. Beijing's PREE complex system is then used as an empirical study. Twelve interesting goals are carefully selected, the parameters of each goal function were estimated by using Beijing's 50-year (1949–1999) statistical data, and their ideal goal limits for 2000 and 2005 are chosen according to the 9th and 10th Five-Year Economic Development Plans of Beijing. The results showed that population size is the most sensitive element in Beijing's PREE complex system. Furthermore, some suggestions related to public policies about the urban development of Beijing are proposed.     

Design,synthesis, antinociceptive,and anti-inflammatory properties of thiazolopyrimidine derivatives

Ten 2-(substituted benzylidene)-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(furan-2-yl)-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3(7H)-one derivatives were synthesized and evaluated. A series of heterocyclic, 2-(substituted benzylidene)-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(furan-2-yl)-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3(7H)-one were synthesized by reaction of 7-(4-chloro phenyl)-5-(furan-2-yl)-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-3(7H)-one with appropriately substituted aldehydes in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate and glacial acetic acid. The antinociceptive activity was evaluated by tail-flick technique, anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carrageenan-induced paw edema test and their ulcerogenicity index was determined. The para-substituted methyl, hydroxy, fluoro, chloro, bromo, and nitro derivatives showed significant antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. The detailed synthesis, spectroscopic data, and pharmacological screening of the synthesized compounds were reported.     

Geography of conservation spending,biodiversity, and culture

We used linear and multivariate models to examine the associations between geography, biodiversity, per capita economic output, national spending on conservation, governance, and cultural traits in 55 countries. Cultural traits and social metrics of modernization correlated positively with national spending on conservation. The global distribution of this spending culture was poorly aligned with the distribution of biodiversity. Specifically, biodiversity was greater in the tropics where cultures tended to spend relatively less on conservation and tended to have higher collectivism, formalized and hierarchical leadership, and weaker governance. Consequently, nations lacking social traits frequently associated with modernization, environmentalism, and conservation spending have the largest component of Earth's biodiversity. This has significant implications for setting policies and priorities for resource management given that biological diversity is rapidly disappearing and cultural traits change slowly. Therefore, we suggest natural resource management adapt to and use characteristics of existing social organization rather than wait for or promote social values associated with conservation spending. Supporting biocultural traditions, engaging leaders to increase conservation commitments, cross‐national efforts that complement attributes of cultures, and avoiding interference with nature may work best to conserve nature in collective and hierarchical societies. Spending in modernized nations may be a symbolic response to a symptom of economic development and environmental degradation, and here conservation actions need to ensure that biodiversity is not being lost.     

不同生态型芦竹对Cd、Hg、Pb、Cu的富集与分布

介绍了生态型芦竹(Arundo donax Linn)的生物特性,并对芦竹修复湿地重金属污染能力进行了研究。芦竹具有生物量大、根系发达、适应性强等特点,在重金属污染环境下,有较好的耐受性。研究不同生态型芦竹对Cd、Hg、Pb、Cu的富集与分布,对重金属污染湿地的修复具有指导作用。采集了4个不同环境下的芦竹样本,对重金属富集量和在植物器官中的分布情况进行研究分析。结果表明,芦竹对镉、铅、汞有较好吸收,地上部叶内富集量分别为57.40～33.22mg·kg-1,412.4～312.4mg·kg-1,21.5～11.8mg·kg-1,地上部茎内富集量分别为19.50～4.02mg·kg-1,83.1～43.6mg·kg-1,30.0～19.4mg·kg-1。芦竹对铜的富集能力较弱,地上部叶内和茎内富集量分别是12.4～2.8mg·kg-1,1.4～0.4mg·kg-1。铜和铅在植物器官中的分布为根>叶>茎,镉在植物器官中的分布为叶>根>茎,汞在植物中的分布为根>茎>叶。富集量还与土壤中重金属质量分数有关,一般是随着土壤中重金属质量分数的增大而增加。镉、铅、铜在植物叶中的富集系数大于1,汞在植物茎中的富集系数大于1。综合分析结果表明,芦竹在污染或非污染环境中都能较好地富集镉、铅、汞,基于芦竹具有较大生物量特点,芦竹对湿地重金属污染具有较大的修复潜力。研究芦竹对重金属的吸收与分布,旨在为湿地的植物修复技术提供参考依据。
