Plants that accumulate metals (Part VI): Further studies of an Australian nickel accumulating plant

Analyses for nickel, copper, cobalt and zinc of some leaf, stem and root samples ofHybanthus floribundus from the Eastern Goldfields area of Western Australia is reported. All four metals appear to behave differently. Nickel is taken into the roots, but accumulates in the tops. Copper is largely excluded, but is evenly distributed at low levels. Cobalt is taken up to a greater extent than copper and is evenly distributed. Zinc is accumulated in the roots and is largely excluded from the tops. Plant-soil metal concentrations are discussed. Extraction studies show that nickel in the leaves, and to a lesser extent in woody parts, is associated with pectic carbohydrates. Accumulation and selectivity of uptake are discussed.

官司河流域防护林景观结构及生态功能研究

利用2005年度的IKONOS4卫片解译数据和2007年度小班调查资料,结合样地调查资料以及四川省林业科学研究院森林生态效益定位站（四川绵阳新桥）径流场的有关数据,对绵阳官司河流域的防护林体系景观结构及生态功能进行了分析。结果表明：该区域防护林景观中,以松柏混交林（Mixed Alnus—Cupressus forest）面积最大,占27．37％,其次是马尾松纯林（Pinus massoniana forest）,占25．41％。栎柏混交林（Mixed Quercus-Cupressus forest）最少,只占0．96％。纯林面积明显大于混交林,前者比后者大45．31％。栎柏混交林、松柏栎混交林（Mixed Pinus-Cupressus—Quercus forest）最大斑块指数（LPI）、边缘密度（ED）和斑块密度（PD）较小,分布较为破碎。而马尾松纯林、松柏混交林和柏木纯林（Cupressus forest）分布较为集中。桤柏混交林（Mixed Alnus—Cupressus forest）和松柏混交林的散布与并列指数（IJI）较大,其空间关系较为复杂。栎柏混交林、柏木纯林的聚集度（A1）较小,斑块分散度大,连接睦较差;而桤柏混交林、松柏混交林的分散度较大,连接性较好。桤柏混交林、松柏混交林的形状指数（LSI）较小,形状分布较规则,而马尾松纯林、柏木纯林的形状指数较大,形状较复杂。从不同景观类型林下灌草层的生物多样性指数可知,松柏混交林、栎柏混交林的灌草多样性指数均较大,而马尾松纯林、柏木纯林则较小。从保持水土功能来看：桤柏混交林、松柏混交林的水土保持效果优于柏木纯林、马尾松纯林,桤柏混交林的水土保持效果优于松柏混交林。因此,对长江防护林进行空间结构调整,应多采用混交林模式,针阔混交林代替针针混交,乔灌草结合,调整合理的密度,使防护林景观的生态功能更好地发挥。

Chemical defense of the mint plant, Teucrium marum (Labiatae)

Summary. The mint plant, Teucrium marum (family Labiatae), sometimes called cat thyme, contains two methylcyclopentanoid monoterpenes, dolichodial and teucrein. The former compound is potently anti-insectan. It is repellent to ants (Monomorium pharaonis) and induces preening reflexes in flies (Phormia regina) and cockroaches (Periplaneta americana). Evidence is presented suggesting that dolichodial, which is presumed to be the plant's chief defensive agent, is stored in the tiny epidermal capsules that beset the leaves. It is only when the leaves are injured (and the capsules ruptured) that the leaves become repellent. Teucrein, in contrast, has no anti-insectan potency. It is present predominantly in the leaf buds, unlike dolichodial, which is present mostly in mature leaves. It is argued that teucrein is the storage compound from which dolichodial is generated during leaf development.

The Impact of the Hyperacid Ijen Crater Lake. Part II: A Total Diet Study

In Asembagus (East Java, Indonesia), surface water is contaminated with effluent from the hyperacid Ijen Crater Lake. In a previous study, we reported that food crops irrigated with this water had increased concentrations of various elements. Here, we present a total diet study for adults and 6-year-old children to determine if the mean daily intake of a broad range of elements is safe and adequate. For children, the intake of B, Mg, Mn and V is high with Hazard Quotients (HQ) of 1.1 (B), 1.4 (Mn) and 1.4 (V), respectively (no TDI is available for Mg). For Mn, the daily intake is high due to the consumption of locally produced rice. Drinking water is the main source of B, Mg and V. For adults, the intake of Mg, Mn and V is also high but HQ values are ≤0.7. For both children and adults, the intake of Ca, Zn and particularly Fe is below the RNI (Fe intake is 90% below the RNI for women). It is concluded the mean intake of elements is unbalanced and Fe deficiency is probably the most serious health problem. Toxic effects cannot be fully excluded since deficiency of essential elements such as Ca, Fe and Zn can increase the absorption and retention of various elements.

On the profitability of exhausting natural resources

Two models are treated. One deals with a mineral deposit, the other with a biological substance. It is assumed that in the deposit there exist all grades of ore, and that, the biological substance grows as long as a positive quantity is left. The course of investment, and production decisions is derived when capital is expressly built up for the purpose of exploitation of the specific resource. Within the simple linear control problem it is concluded that exhaustion is never profitable. The steady state in the biological case is discussed and compared to maximum sustainable yield.     

江南丘陵红壤区的农业水资源特征与调控利用——以江西省余江县为例

农业水资源按分布空间分为大气降水、地表水、土壤水和地下水。江南丘陵红壤区的各类水资源特征是:大气降水丰沛而时空分配不均;地表水多而径流、蒸发量大;红壤贮水库容小、深层水多而有效性差;地下潜水较多而承压水少。针对上述特征,应因地制宜通过工程、生物、农艺措施进行水资源调控,针对“四水”进行人工降雨,地表水集蓄,增加土壤深层水、有效水利用和潜水开发等,以蓄丰补欠、趋利避害,提高水资源的利用率。

The value of information on the response function of crops to soil salinity

The expected profitability to farmers from acquiring additional information on the biological response function of crop yield to soil salinity is investigated. First, a switching regression approach to estimate piecewise linear response function with critical threshold level is presented. Then, an optimization irrigation model is developed, aimed at determining the optimal use of irrigation water for soil leaching. Finally, a loss function is defined, the expected value of sample information is calculated and the optimal number of additional needed observations is determined. At each stage, an empirical analysis, using data from potato field experiments in Israel, is presented.

Multisensory vocal communication in primates and the evolution of rhythmic speech

The integration of the visual and auditory modalities during human speech perception is the default mode of speech processing. That is, visual speech perception is not a capacity that is “piggybacked” on to auditory-only speech perception. Visual information from the mouth and other parts of the face is used by all perceivers to enhance auditory speech. This integration is ubiquitous and automatic and is similar across all individuals across all cultures. The two modalities seem to be integrated even at the earliest stages of human cognitive development. If multisensory speech is the default mode of perception, then this should be reflected in the evolution of vocal communication. The purpose of this review is to describe the data that reveal that human speech is not uniquely multisensory. In fact, the default mode of communication is multisensory in nonhuman primates as well but perhaps emerging with a different developmental trajectory. Speech production, however, exhibits a unique bimodal rhythmic structure in that both the acoustic output and the movements of the mouth are rhythmic and tightly correlated. This structure is absent in most monkey vocalizations. One hypothesis is that the bimodal speech rhythm may have evolved through the rhythmic facial expressions of ancestral primates, as indicated by mounting comparative evidence focusing on the lip-smacking gesture.     

Solute transport in a semi-infinite homogeneous aquifer with a fixed point source concentration

This study derives an analytical solution of the advection–dispersion (AD) equation commonly used to describe the transport of pollutants in a semi-infinite homogeneous aquifer. When an extra constant source term is added to the AD equation, it changes the solution of the equation. The AD equation is solved analytically using Laplace transform. Also, the equation is solved numerically using an explicit finite difference method and its stability condition is presented with the aid of matrix method. For the solution of the AD equation the following considerations are made: (1) The dispersion and velocity are considered as time-dependent; (2) dispersion is expressed as directly proportional to the square of velocity; (3) there is also diffusion; (4) there is some initial concentration and the aquifer domain is, therefore, not pollutant-free; (5) There is a time-dependent exponentially decreasing input source; and (6) the concentration gradient is assumed to be zero at the exit boundary. It is found that the contaminant concentration decreases with time contrary to what happens when the extra term is not included.

Should managed populations be monitored every year?

We often need to estimate the size of wild populations to determine the appropriate management action, for example, to set a harvest quota. Monitoring is usually planned under the assumption that it must be carried out at fixed intervals in time, typically annually, before the harvest quota is set. However, monitoring can be very expensive, and we should weigh the cost of monitoring against the improvement that it makes in decision making. A less costly alternative to monitoring annually is to predict the population size using a population model and information from previous surveys. In this paper, the problem of monitoring frequency is posed within a decision-theory framework. We discover that a monitoring regime that varies according to the state of the system can outperform fixed-interval monitoring. This idea is illustrated using data for a red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) population in South Australia. Whether or not one should monitor in a given year is dependent on the estimated population density in the previous year, the uncertainty in that population estimate, and past rainfall. We discover that monitoring is important when a model-based prediction of population density is very uncertain. This may occur if monitoring has not taken place for several years, or if rainfall has been above average. Monitoring is also important when prior information suggests that the population is near a critical threshold in population abundance. However, monitoring is less important when the optimal management action would not be altered by new information.
