快速城镇化地区生态系统服务的时空动态及权衡与协同分析——以苏锡常地区为例

苏锡常是我国经济飞速发展地区之一,也是重要的粮食生产基地.在快速城镇化背景下,该地区生态环境受到人类活动的强烈冲击,国土空间配置亟待优化.本研究基于多源数据,对苏锡常地区2000～2018年碳储存、食物供给、维持生物多样性3种生态系统服务的时空格局及演变特征进行刻画,并运用双变量空间自相关方法识别了生态系统服务之间的相互关系.结果 表明:(1)整体来看,2000～2018年,苏锡常地区的碳储存服务略有上升,食物供给服务和维持生物多样性服务波动下降;(2)苏锡常地区生态系统服务空间分布严重失衡,表现为中部建成区低,四周自然用地高的分布特点,城镇扩张区各类型生态系统服务退化较为严重;(3)在权衡与协同分析中,碳储存-食物供给服务、碳储存-维持生物多样性服务呈现协同关系,食物供给-维持生物多样性服务呈现权衡关系;(4)各项生态系统服务的权衡与协同关系存在空间差异,低值协同区集中分布在城市中心,高值协同区主要分布在西侧与南侧林地范围,低-高值与高-低值权衡区在空间上呈环绕相间分布.苏锡常地区在未来的发展中需要注意低值协同区和权衡区,有针对性地制定生态保护修复措施,合理调控社会经济发展,实现生态系统服务的协同增效.

两种水生昆虫头宽与基于图像分析的大小参数关系性分析

对于水生昆虫及其它生物而言,大小是一个重要的功能性状,但是头宽的测量特别耗时和受人为因素影响.随着计算机技术的发展,基于图像分析技术(一种快速测量大小的策略)可获得传统方式难以获得的大小参数,明确这些大小参数与头宽的关系,对推动这些参数的应用具有重要意义.选择两种个体大小差异较大的蜉蝣(梧州蜉和光滑细蜉)作为研究对象,对其头宽与基于数字图像获得的面积,周长,最小矩形的长和宽,最适合椭圆的长轴和短轴和粒径等个体大小参数的相关性进行研究.数字图像采用改进后的描述仪扫描获取;图像分析基于ImageJ软件完成;基于二元直线回归和多元直线回归分析各参数之间的相关性.各种层次的回归分析结果均表明:基于图像分析获得的两种蜉蝣所有个体大小参数均与头宽大小呈极其显著的正相关性,其中面积的相关性最高.并且面积与其它大小参数相关性也极其显著,对个体大小具有较好的代表性.研究结果为推动数字图像分析技术应用在水生昆虫及其它生物的生物学和生态学研究中提供了技术支持和理论依据.     

长江中游滨岸带水体氨氮循环速率及影响因素

氨氮(NH_4~+)是大多数浮游生物优先利用的氮源,其在水体中的再生过程(REG)和潜在吸收过程(U_(pot))影响水体初级生产力和生物群落的生长。以长江为研究对象,采用同位素稀释法对长江中游滨岸带水体的NH_4~+循环速率进行研究。结果显示:长江中游滨岸带水体NH_4~+再生速率为0.12～1.62μmol/(L·h),潜在吸收速率为0.21～2.35μmol/(L·h),生物群落NH_4~+需求(CBAD)为0.08～0.75μmol/(L·h)。NH_4~+再生速率、潜在吸收速率和生物群落NH_4~+需求均随水流方向自宜昌至鄱阳湖湖口呈现显著的下降趋势(p0.05)。统计分析表明,化学需氧量(COD)(p0.01)和悬浮物浓度(SS)(p0.05)是影响长江中游水体NH_4~+循环速率的主要因素。长江中游水体NH_4~+再生速率占潜在吸收速率的43.1%～76.0%,均值为58.5±8.5%,表明NH_4~+再生是长江中游水体中生物群落NH_4~+吸收过程的主要NH_4~+来源。估算得到的NH_4~+再生量是长江中游水体TN负荷的2倍,表明水体NH_4~+再生在支持水体初级生产力和维持氮素内循环方面具有重要作用。

Towards saving freshwater: halophytes as unconventional feedstuffs in livestock feed: a review

Water represents 71% of all earth area and about 97% of this water is salty water. So, only 3% of the overall world water quantity is freshwater. Human can benefit only from 1% of this water and the remaining 2% freeze at both poles of earth. Therefore, it is important to preserve the freshwater through increasing the plants consuming salty water. The future prosperity of feed resources in arid and semi-arid countries depends on economic use of alternative resources that have been marginalized for long periods of time, such as halophytic plants, which are one such potential future resource. Halophyte plants can grow in high salinity water and soil and to some extent during drought. The growth of these plants depends on the contact of the salted water with plant roots as in semi-desert saline water, mangrove swamps, marshes, and seashores. Halophyte plants need high levels of sodium chloride in the soil water for growth, and the soil water must also contain high levels of salts, as sodium hydroxide or magnesium sulfate. There are many uses for halophyte plants, including feed for animals, vegetables, drugs, sand dune stabilizers, wind shelter, soil cover, wetland cultivation, laundry detergents, and paper production. This paper will focus on the use of halophytes as a feed additive for animals. In spite of the good nutritional value of halophytes, some anti-nutritional factors as nitrates, nitrite complexes, tannins, glycosides, phenolic compounds, saponins, oxalates, and alkaloids may be present in some of them. The presence of such anti-nutritional agents makes halophytes unpalatable to animals, which tends to reduce feed intake and nutrient use. Therefore, the negative effects of these plants on animal performance are the only objection against using halophytes in animal feed diets. This review article highlights the beneficial impact of considering halophytes in animal feeding on saving freshwater and illustrates its nutritive value for livestock from different aspects.
