Economic assessment of damage caused by invasive alien species provides useful information to consider when determining whether
management programs should be established, modified, or discontinued. We estimate the baseline economic damage from an invasive
alien pathogen, Ceratocystis fagacearum, a fungus that causes oak wilt, which is a significant disease of oaks (Quercus spp.) in the central United States. We focus on Anoka County, Minnesota, a 1,156 km2 mostly urban county in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan region. We develop a landscape-level model of oak wilt spread
that accounts for underground and overland pathogen transmission. We predict the economic damage of tree mortality from oak
wilt spread in the absence of management during the period 2007–2016. Our metric of economic damage is removal cost, which
is one component of the total economic loss from tree mortality. We estimate that Anoka County has 5.92 million oak trees
and 885 active oak wilt pockets covering 5.47 km2 in 2007. The likelihood that landowners remove infected oaks varies by land use and ranges from 86% on developed land to
57% on forest land. Over the next decade, depending on the rates of oak wilt pocket establishment and expansion, 76–266 thousand
trees will be infected with discounted removal cost of $18–60 million. Although our predictions of removal costs are substantial,
they are lower bounds on the total economic loss from tree mortality because we do not estimate economic losses from reduced
services and increased hazards. Our predictions suggest that there are significant economic benefits, in terms of damage reduction,
from preventing new pocket establishment or slowing the radial growth of existing pockets. 相似文献

Oxidative stress in Scenedesmus sp. during short- and long-term exposure to Cu2+ and Zn2+ 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Algae are exposed to elevated levels of heavy metals in water bodies generally for a long-term, and occasionally for a short-term duration. The present study deals with oxidative stress in Scenedesmus sp., commonly found in nutrient-rich freshwaters, during short- (6h) and long-term (7d) exposure to Cu(2+) and Zn(2+). The cells accumulated almost 2- and 4-times more Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) inside the cells during long-term than during short-term exposure to these metals. But the data on photosynthetic O(2) evolution and cell viability suggest that Scenedesmus sp. experienced lesser metal stress in long-term than in short-term experiment. Although malondialdehyde content was slightly higher in the long-term experiment, the amount produced by one unit intracellular metal was significantly lower than that in the short-term experiment. Superoxide dismutase activity of Scenedesmus sp. was >30% higher during long-term than during short-term exposure to Cu(2+) and Zn(2+). But, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase activities increased only at 2.5 microM Cu(2+) and 25 microM Zn(2+) when oxidative stress was mild, but were inhibited at 10 microM Cu(2+) under intense oxidative stress. Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) reduced glutathione reductase activity and total SH content of Scenedesmus sp. in both the experiments, with greater reduction occurring in the long-term experiment. The depletion of total thiol was positively related with the intracellular level of metals. Thiols might have helped Scenedesmus sp. in overcoming metal-induced oxidative stress, but depletion of thiol pool is known to make cells vulnerable to oxidative stress. The study suggests that antioxidant enzymes play a role only under mild oxidative stress. An increased accumulation of proline seems to be an important strategy for alleviating metal-induced oxidative stress in Scenedesmus sp. The study shows that Scenedesmus sp. could acclimatize during long-term exposure to toxic concentrations of the test metals. 相似文献

Considering the mounting evidences of the effects of air pollution on health, the present study was undertaken to assess the ambient air quality status in the fast growing urban centres of Haryana state, India. The samples were collected for total suspended particulate matter (TSPM), respirable suspended particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and oxides of nitrogen (NO2) during different seasons from 8 districts of Haryana during January, 1999 to September, 2000. The four types of sampling sites with different anthropogenic activities i.e. residential, sensitive, commercial and industrial were identified in each city. The ambient air concentration of TSPM and PM10 observed was well above the prescribed standards at almost all the sites. The average ambient air concentrations of SO2 and NO2 were found below the permissible limits at all the centres. Comparatively higher concentration of SO2 was observed during winter seasons, which seems to be related with the enhanced combustion of fuel for space heating and relatively stable atmospheric conditions. Air Quality Index (AQI) prepared for these cities shows that residential, sensitive and commercial areas were moderately to severely polluted which is a cause of concern for the residents of these cities. The high levels of TSPM and SO2 especially in winter are of major health concern because of their synergistic action. The data from Hisar city reveals a significant increase in the total number of hospital visits/admissions of the patients with acute respiratory diseases during winter season when the level of air pollutants was high. 相似文献
