La(NO3)3浸种对盐碱胁迫下红小豆幼苗生长和抗氧化酶活性的影响

采用添加NaCl和Na2CO3模拟盐胁迫和碱胁迫的水培方式,研究了La(NO3),浸种对盐胁迫和碱胁迫下红小豆幼苗生长和抗氧化酶活性的影响.结果表明:(1)与无胁迫对照组相比,盐碱胁迫明显抑制了红小豆幼苗的生长;在Na+质量浓度相同的情况下,碱胁迫对红小豆幼苗生长的影响明显大于盐胁迫;(2)使用La(NO3)3浸种可缓解盐碱胁迫带来的不良影响,使受胁迫红小豆的株高、叶面积、总根长、总根数、叶绿素、根活力、SOD活性、POD活性及CAT活性增加,并显著降低幼苗MDA含量水平,且表现出在盐碱胁迫下变化幅度高于无胁迫处理的现象;(3)在本试验条件下,30 mg·L-1La(NO3)3浸种具有显著促进红小豆根系及地上部分生长的作用.     

铜与草甘膦复合污染对小麦种子发芽与根伸长的抑制作用

污染物的交互作用及其生态毒理效应已成为环境科学研究的重要方向.论文以小麦种子为供试作物,研究了重金属铜(Cu2+)与除草剂草甘膦复合污染对其发芽率以及发芽后的根长、芽长的影响,以表征Cu与草甘膦复合污染的生态毒性.研究结果表明,在实验浓度下,Cu2+单一污染对小麦发芽率没有明显的影响,对根伸长和芽长的抑制显著;而草甘膦单一污染对小麦发芽、根伸长和芽长均有明显的抑制效应.当Cu2+与草甘膦复合污染时,Cu2+的存在在一定程度上减弱了草甘膦对小麦发芽及芽长的抑制作用;而在根伸长实验中,在低草甘膦浓度条件下,Cu2+的存在在一定程度上增加了草甘膦对根伸长的抑制作用;在较高草甘膦浓度条件下,Cu2+的存在则降低了草甘膦对根伸长的抑制作用.Cu2+的存在减轻草甘膦对小麦毒性的可能原因是:草甘膦与Cu2+络合形成了毒性较小的稳定络合物,使草甘膦毒性降低或失去活性.     

模拟酸雨胁迫下镧对高梁种子萌发的影响

以高粱(熊杂9号)为试材,研究酸雨胁迫下镧对高粱种子萌发、过氧化物酶(POD)活性、可溶性蛋白、丙二醛(MDA)含量和质膜透性的影响.结果显示,用12 mg·l~(-1)的LaCl_3溶液浸种处理高粱种子效果最佳.经La(Ⅲ)处理后,种子发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数和活力指数均较单一酸雨处理组升高,pH 2.5时增幅最明显;pH 2.0时,酸雨严重破坏种子内部结构,La(Ⅲ)的加入已无法缓解酸雨引发的伤害.而经La(Ⅲ)处理后,低强度(pH 5.0-3.5)酸雨胁迫下,种子的POD活性较单一酸雨处理组升高,高强度(pH 3.0-2.0)时降低;可溶性蛋白含量较所有单一酸雨处理组升高,MDA含量和质膜透性较单一酸雨处理降低,pH 2.5-2.0时该效果尤为明显.表明La(Ⅲ)可通过调节高粱种子内部的POD活性减轻酸雨胁迫引发的膜脂过氧化,缓解对种子萌发的伤害.     

低磷污水的HAP诱导结晶磷回收

为考察羟基磷酸钙（HAP）诱导结晶对低磷污水中PO₄^3--P的回收效果,以污水厂尾水为研究对象,采用方解石为晶种,首先全面对比了HAP诱导结晶与均相结晶的PO₄^3--P去除效果,然后通过改变晶种粒径和投加量,研究了晶种对PO₄^3--P回收的影响,并探讨了结晶反应条件对PO₄^3--P回收和产物晶型的影响.结果表明：HAP诱导结晶除磷效果要优于均相结晶,当结晶体系pH不超过9.0且残余Ca²⁺为100 mg·L^-1时,前者可将PO₄^3--P浓度降至0.5 mg·L^-1左右,后者则为5.0 mg·L^-1左右.构晶离子的扩散过程是HAP诱导结晶的控速步骤,减小晶种粒径和增加晶种投加量有利于构晶离子的扩散,可提高结晶反应速率,进而提高HAP诱导结晶对低磷污水的适应性,使PO₄^3--P回收率得到提高.对PO₄^3--P浓度为1.0 mg·L^-1的模拟废水,晶种投加量为10 g·L^-1、粒径为45 μm、Ca²⁺投加量为50 mg·L^-1和pH=9时,在10 min的反应时间内HAP诱导结晶可获得80%以上的PO₄^3--P回收率,出水PO₄^3--P和pH满足GB 3838—2002的Ⅱ类标准（0.1 mg·L^-1）.实验条件下,HAP诱导结晶产物晶型主要为HAP及其前驱物无定形态羟基磷酸钙（ACP）,产物结晶度随着pH的提高和晶种粒径的减小而提高.     

Simulating regeneration and vegetation dynamics in Mediterranean coniferous forests

This study aims to provide a quantitative framework to model the dynamics of Mediterranean coniferous forests by integrating existing ecological data within a generic mathematical simulator. We developed an individual-based vegetation dynamics model, constrained on long-term field regeneration data, analyses of tree-rings and seed germination experiments. The simulator implements an asymmetric competition algorithm which is based on the location and size of each individual. Growth is parameterized through the analysis of tree-rings from more than thirty individuals of each of the three species of interest. A super-individual approach is implemented to simulate regeneration dynamics, constrained with available regeneration data across time-since-disturbance and light-availability gradients. The study concerns an insular population of an endemic to Greece Mediterranean fir (Abies cephalonica Loudon) on the island of Cephalonia (Ionian Sea) and two interacting populations of a Mediterranean pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) and a more temperate-oriented pine (Pinus nigra Arn. ssp. pallasiana) on the island of Lesbos (NE Aegean Sea), Greece. The model was validated against plot-level observations in terms of species standing biomass and regeneration vigour and adequately captured regeneration patterns and overall vegetation dynamics in both study sites. The potential effects of changing climatic patterns on the regeneration dynamics of the three species of interest were subsequently explored. With the assumption that a warmer future would probably cause changes in the duration of cold days, we tested how this change would affect the overall dynamics of the study sites, by focusing on the process of cold stratification upon seed germination. Following scenarios of a warmer future and under the current model parameterization, changes in the overall regeneration vigour controlled by a reduction in the amount of cold days, did not alter the overall dynamics in all plant populations studied. No changes were identified in the relative dominance of the interacting pine populations on Lesbos, while the observed reduction in the amount of emerging seedlings of A. cephalonica on Cephalonia did not affect biomass yield at later stages of stand development.     

云南地区中国种子植物特有属的研究

物种特有现象的研究具有重要的区系地理学和保护生物学意义。利用大尺度的植物物种分布信息,探讨了云南地区中国种子植物特有属的科、属组成,区系性质及其地理分布格局。结果表明,云南地区拥有中国种子植物特有属125属,分属于59科,共含种子植物246种,是中国种子植物特有属的重要分布地区之一。含特有属较多的科主要为菊科Compositae、苦苣苔科Gesnefiaceae、伞形科Umbelliferae、禾本科Gramineae和唇形科Labiatae。从各属所包含的物种数来看,单型属占主体地位。根据科的分布区类型构成,云南地区中国种子植物特有属主要起源于热带地区。从属的生活型构成来看,主要以草本植物属为主,而木本植物属所占比重相对较小,暗示着研究区域内特有属的区系兼有年轻成分和古老成分,但以年轻成分为主。从空间分布格局来看,特有属主要分布在“田中线”以东地区。与过去的研究结果不同,我们发现云南地区拥有3个重要的特有属分布中心和3个次级分布中心。     

长期施肥对旱地土壤杂草种子库生物多样性影响的研究

为探讨长期施肥对旱地土壤杂草种子库生物多样性的影响,我们在安徽蒙城地区的一个长期肥料试验定位监测点开展了相关研究。采用镜检法对旱地土壤表层（0～15 cm）中土壤杂草种子的种类进行鉴定并计数,记录杂草种子22种,隶属15科。不同施肥处理区杂草种子丰富度以NP1/2K区最高（14.7种）,PK区最低（10.7种）;其中陌上菜（Lindernia procumbens）、栗米草（Mollugo pentaphylla）、醴肠（Eclipta prostrata）、泽星宿菜（Lysimachia candida lindl）四种杂草的种子密度较大,分别在不同的处理区占据优势;从整个试验区来看,烟台飘拂草（Fimbristylis stauntoni）在所有处理中的密度都比较大,处于优势地位。长期不同施肥方式下,农田土壤杂草种子库的物种多样性有显著差异：PK区Shanon-Wiener指数大于其他处理区,但是Simpson优势度指数最低;NPK区Simpson优势度指数最高;PK、CK区Pielou均匀度指数大于其他处理区。田间杂草种子库的群落结构及其物种组成也发生了一定的变化,Whittaker指数表明,与不施肥处理相比较,半量的P和缺N的影响最显著,缺P次之,缺K和平衡施肥则没有显著影响。Sorenson群落相似性指数和Bray Curtis指数聚类分析结果表明,与不施肥相比较,长期施用N、P、K肥能显著改变旱地土壤杂草种子库的组成。本研究表明长期平衡施肥处理更有利于维持和保护旱地土壤杂草种子库的生物多样性。     

3种硝化抑制剂对小麦幼苗生长毒性的比较

在土壤(山西土)中加入不同种类、不同浓度的硝化抑制剂(氢醌、硫脲、双氰胺),研究了其对小麦发芽势、发芽率和幼苗生长的影响.结果表明:双氰胺对小麦发芽势和发芽率的抑制作用不明显,硫脲对小麦发芽势和发芽率有一定的抑制作用,而氢醌对小麦发芽势和发芽率抑制明显;双氰胺和氢醌对小麦幼苗生长的影响不大,而硫脲能显著降低小麦幼苗的根长、茎长、根重和茎重;双氰胺对小麦种子和幼苗毒性相对较小,硫脲毒性相对较大,小麦的根重、茎重和根伸长可以作为硫脲对小麦危害的敏感指标.     

The need to look beyond the production and provision of relief seed: experiences from southern Sudan

Free distribution of seeds in selected areas of southern Sudan has been widespread as a way of increasing food security. Field research in areas targeted for seed relief found that farmer seed systems continue to meet the crop and varietal needs of farmers even following the 1998 famine. Donor investments in seed multiplication of improved sorghum have not been sustained due to a lack of effective demand for the improved seed beyond that created by the relief agencies. The article argues that rather than imposing outside solutions, whether through seed provisioning or seed production enterprises, greater attention needs to be given to building on the strengths of existing farmer systems and designing interventions to alleviate the weaknesses. The case is made to support dynamically the process of farmer experimentation through the informed introduction of new crops and varieties that can potentially reinforce the strength and diversity of local cropping systems.
