青藏高原天山报春高寒湿地种群的花期资源分配

研究了青藏高原东部海北高寒湿地植物天山报春的花期资源分配.有性繁殖的天山报春根系投资较低(22.6%),地上投资大约是地下投资的4倍,花期繁殖投资占20.8%,具有相对较大的地上投资.天山报春对繁殖、茎叶和根系的绝对投资和相对投资均具有极为明显的个体效应,绝对投资和茎叶的相对投资均随着个体大小线性增加,而繁殖和根系的相对投资线性降低.天山报春各器官间资源的绝对投资均表现为相关生长,相对资源分配均为负相关,在繁殖和营养、繁殖和根系以及繁殖和茎叶器官间都表现为权衡关系,但在茎叶和根系间不为权衡关系.和资源分配一致,天山报春的繁殖适合度存在明显的个体大小依赖性.结合影响植物资源分配的各因素,探讨了个体效应在解释资源分配中的重要意义.     

外源Cd对小白菜吸收与分配Cd、Zn的影响

采用盆栽试验研究外加Cd处理下红沙泥田和乌栅土中小白菜(Brassica chinensis L.)[四月慢(SYM)和高梗白(GGB)]对Cd、Zn的吸收与分配规律.结果表明:(1)小白菜对Cd、Zn的吸收积累受土壤类型、蔬菜品种和外源Cd剂量的影响,四月慢吸收Cd能力比高梗白强,外加Cd处理、土壤、品种间的正交互作用使小白菜植株Cd/Zn比值提高;(2)小白菜食用部位Cd/Zn比值并不服从于植株对Cd、Zn的总吸收量之比,而是取决于其在根和地上食用部位中的分配,Cd的地上部分配系数为56.3%～71.1%,而Zn则为77.6%～80.6%.在一定Cd处理水平下,地上部Cd分配系数下降,而Zn分配系数无明显变化,从而减缓了Cd/Zn比值升高的趋势,使小白菜地上部受Cd毒害的风险性降低;(3)2种小白菜对Cd和Zn的吸收动态随生长时间不同而异,Cd积累量随时间延长呈不断增加趋势,而对Zn的吸收积累能力自苗期后缓慢降低.这种差异使小白菜生长后期Cd/Zn比值升高,从而提高了小白菜Cd暴露的潜在风险.此现象在红壤加Cd处理下表现尤其明显.     

非生物胁迫诱导青蒿素生物合成基因的表达

对离体培养青蒿试管苗中3个青蒿素合成相关基因的非生物胁迫诱导表达模式进行了初步研究.半定量RT-PCR测定结果表明,当暴露于冷、热和紫外光后,青篙植株的紫穗槐-4,11-二烯合酶基因(ADS)和细胞色素P450单加氧酶基因(CYP71AV1)转录上调;相反,在未经胁迫处理的情况下,ADS和CYP71AV1基因的表达水平较低,而在胁迫处理前后细胞色素P450还原酶基因(CPR)转录所产生的mRNA均保持恒定.同时,冷胁迫的诱导效果也得到实时荧光定量RT-PCR测定数据的支持.经低温锻炼的青蒿试管苗,其ADS和CYP71AV1基因的转录产物拷贝数比对照分别提高11倍和7倍,而CPR基因的mRNA拷贝数与对照基本持平.短暂预冷处理还可显著提高青蒿试管苗的青蒿素含量,达到7.5～8.8 mg/g干重,比对照提高66.7%～95.6%,为进一步探索利用环境胁迫促进青蒿素高产的新途径提供了可能性.图2表3参21

为解决干洗店等清洗行业排放的含四氯乙烯(PCE)三废的环境污染问题,开发一种使用经济、适用、有效且无污染的处理技术,需要收集相关的基础参数.文章研究了活性炭及兰州市三种不同的土壤对水中PCE吸附特性及超临界CO2再生活性炭及土壤萃取回收PCE的特性,结果表明,活性炭与土壤吸附水中PCE达到平衡的时间均为7 d,吸附等温线均可用Freundlich等温式拟合,且有较好的相关性;活性炭与不同土壤对PCE吸附能力差异较大,吸附能力由大到小为活性炭>林土>灌淤土>黄绵土,且土壤的吸附能力与土壤有机质、含水率及pH值关系密切;超临界CO2再生活性炭与土壤回收PCE,分别在35 ℃、20 MPa和60 ℃、20 MPa这样不太苛刻的条件下通过调整S/F值可获得较高的回收率,为PCE的污染治理技术提供理论依据.     

菲对黑麦草根系几种低分子量分泌物的影响

有机污染的植物修复过程与植物根系分泌密切相关,近年来,对于持久性有机污染多环芳烃的植物修复研究得到了很大发展,但对于多环芳烃污染下植物根系分泌物的研究很少.该实验以多年生黑麦草(Lolium perenne L.)为供试材料,以营养液栽培方式研究了在多环芳烃菲处理下,黑麦草根系对几种低分子量有机物的分泌情况.研究结果显示,黑麦草根系分泌有机酸、总糖以及氨基酸的量都随菲质量浓度的上升而变化.黑麦草根系分泌的低分子有机酸主要为草酸,在菲处理下,低分子有机酸的组成无明显变化,但含量随菲质量浓度上升而提高(由对照时的2.33 mg·g-1 FW升高至8 mg·L-1时的4.75 mg·g-1 FW);总糖和氨基酸含量均随菲质量浓度上升出现先升高后下降的趋势,但是最高值出现的菲质量浓度不同,从含量上来看,有机酸是黑麦草根系低分子量分泌物的主要部分.结合其它研究结果分析,植物分泌的有机酸可能在加速多环芳烃清除中发挥了重要作用.     

不同温度和营养盐质量浓度条件下藻类的种间竞争规律

淡水浮游植物的季节性周期变化有一定的规律性,但营养负荷也会影响浮游植物种群的组成和演替.通过室内实验研究了不同温度和营养盐质量浓度条件下微囊藻和栅藻生长和种间竞争规律,结果表明:无论单独生长还是存在竞争,微囊藻在35 ℃下生长最好,栅藻在25 ℃时生长最好;存在竞争时,15 ℃和25 ℃条件下,微囊藻的最大现存量的最大值出现在磷的质量浓度为0.5 mg·L-1时;35 ℃条件下,微囊藻的最大现存量随营养盐质量浓度的升高而增大;各温度下,栅藻的最大现存量基本随营养盐质量浓度的升高而增大.浮游植物的种群组成受营养盐质量浓度的影响,营养盐质量浓度偏高的水体绿藻易成为优势种,营养盐质量浓度偏低的水体蓝藻易成为优势种;重富营养化的水体中,虽然高温时蓝藻数量增多,但由于绿藻的抑制作用,全年以绿藻为主.     

硅酸盐、腐殖酸对Cr污染土壤中小白菜生理及吸铬量的影响

针对在铬污染区土壤中的叶菜类吸铬量是果菜类2~3倍,以及硅酸盐或腐植酸在重金属污染土壤上的最佳施用量研究较少的问题,为保障蔬菜的品质安全,文章通过土壤盆栽试验,研究硅酸盐、腐殖酸不同用量对Cr污染土壤中小白菜(Brassica Chinensis)生理指标和吸铬量的影响.结果表明,施低质量分数的硅酸盐(1.0 g·kg-1)效果最佳,既能提高受Cr污染小白菜的生物量、叶绿素相对含量,又能减轻Cr毒害对抗氧化酶系统中SOD酶活性的抑制,缓解小白菜受到的过氧化胁迫,有效降低小白菜吸铬量;高质量分数硅酸盐(2.0 g·kg-1)对生长产生抑制.腐殖酸在设计的3个质量分数水平上均不能有效降低小白菜吸铬量,对生长的促进作用也不明显.

中国水稻土碳循环研究进展

文章首先分析了水稻土在碳循环研究中的地位和重要性，进而对我目水稻土碳循环的研究现状作了较为详尽的阐述，对其主要研究结论进行了深入的剖析。中国大而积的水稻土自1980年以来显示出有机碳库增加现象，说明水稻田对大气CO2可能产生汇效应。水耕熟化过程足有机碳的积累过程，水稻土的碳密度是早作土碳密度的2-3倍。水稻土的同碳能力与土壤的微团聚体的粒径有关。但对于水稻土中有机碳的分布和结合状态与农业管理措施、水稻土质量变化、农业生态环境变化的关系仍不清楚。因而建议就这一问题从土壤物理学、化学和生物学的相互作朋与土壤微团聚体中矿物质、有机质和微生物的相互结合关系的层面上进行多学科研究。同时提出了今后我困水稻土碳循环的重点研究方向和领域，即从整体和系统的角度来研究碳循环和平衡，从不同的时空区域来研究碳循环的过程和强度。     

Evaluating losses in ecosystem services in nature reserves in Sichuan,China

Nature reserves have developed rapidly over the decades in China and play a significant role in the function of ecosystem services. The function of ecosystem services in nature reserves, however, has tended to decline in recent years due to natural hazards and human activities. Based on land use, the variation of ecosystem services value (ESV) during 2000–2010 in national nature reserves in Sichuan was evaluated. We analyzed the comprehensive effects of natural disasters and human activities on the decline of ESVs. Total ESV in the national nature reserves in Sichuan was approximately 2741.35 million US$ in 2000, 2616.81 million US$ in 2005, and 2499.06 million US$ in 2010, representing a decrease of 242.29 million US$, or 8.84%, in the decade. Forestland, grassland, wetland, and water bodies played vital roles in the function of ecosystem services, with an aggregated ESV of 99% of the total. The largest proportion of the total ESV was the protection of biodiversity at 48.6%. ESV of all land use types and single ecosystem services continued to decline during 2000–2010. A mechanism of adaptable risk prevention should be established, and unreasonable human activities should be avoided to protect ecosystems and to improve the functions of ecosystem services.     

森林土壤固碳机理研究进展

全球碳平衡中,土壤有机碳储量为2000 Pg,植被碳储量500 Pg,大气碳储量785 Pg,土壤中有机碳变化是影响大气温室气体含量的重要因素。中国人工林总量世界第一,可以通过造林树种的选择,增加森林土壤的碳汇功能,它主要通过4种机理来实现,包括稳定性有机-矿物复合体的形成、持久性封存的深层碳的增加、耐分解有机物成份的积累、以及土壤团聚体结构中碳的物理性保护。中国近年来对木材的需求上升,导致大量短轮伐期人工林的种植,采伐、火烧炼山、施肥与整地等营林措施对土壤碳汇功能形成重大影响。因而,通过加强对中国人工林土壤固碳机理的研究,通过人为措施实现具有较强固碳能力的森林类型,从而提高人工森林生态系统的固碳能力,它对中国减排增汇战略具有重要意义,而加强对不同营林措施对碳汇功能影响的研究是中国当前面临的重大课题。

Total volatile organic compound (TVOC) parameters were also determined. An attempt was also made to evaluate the influence of outdoor air pollutants on indoor air quality.     

生物扰动在水层-底栖界面耦合中的作用

综合评述了生物扰动在水层-底栖界面耦合中的作用研究进展和热点问题,并进行了展望。国际上十分重视水层-底栖界面耦合过程的研究并已有一定基础,生物扰动作为海洋生态学的重要内容之一早在20世纪50—60年代就已开展了工作,但直到10余年前才真正开始定量研究,进入了实验模拟、现场观测与建立模型相结合的新阶段。国内的生物扰动研究尚处于起步阶段,加上技术方法落后,一直未能取得突破性进展。目前国内外关于水层-底栖界面生物扰动效应研究基本上都在海洋中开展,尤其在河口、近岸和浅海水域进行,湖泊和河流研究明显薄弱。作为水生态动力学的重要分支和前沿领域,生物扰动研究具有广阔前景。急需针对我国水域特点,引进先进的现场观测和室内测试手段,进一步揭示水层-底栖界面耦合过程中的生物扰动机制,更精准和更详细地掌握水域中各种物质的生物地球化学循环的全过程,为控制水体内源污染释放、富营养化治理和生态建模等提供科学依据。     

Variation in male courtship costs in butterflies

A cost of mating is common to both sexes but has predominantly been examined in females. In species where males provide resources to females at copulation, male mating costs are expected to be high as nutrient provisioning enhancing female fecundity is assumed to carry costs. In addition, males frequently court females prior to mating, which is known to carry survival costs to both sexes. However, the magnitude and basis of variation in males’ mating costs remains largely unknown. Here, I examine the effect of nutrient provisioning and courtship on male longevity across full-sib families in the paternally investing green-veined white butterfly, Pieris napi. Copulating males suffered a survival cost as did courting males prevented from copulating, indicating the courtship component of mating is costly. Male P. napi release aphrodisiacs during courtship to promote mating, indicating that these compounds may also be costly to produce. Contrary to expectation, nutrient provisioning was not associated with reduced survival relative to males only allowed to court females, although it is possible that this could be masked by the potentially elevated courtship rates of courting males relative to mating males. Families differed in magnitude of reduced male survivorship, indicating a likely genetic basis to variation in costs of courtship and copulation. Male weight was unrelated to longevity and mating success, whereas longevity strongly influenced male mating success, indicating lifespan is an important male fitness trait in this species.     

Environmental education in comprehensive schools in Greece

The new institution of comprehensive high school, in Greece today, aims to relate the school with the natural, social, economical and cultural environment. In this frame of process, interrelation and dynamic contact of school with the holistic environment, the subject “Ecology and Environment”; of the 2nd class (16–17 years old), informs, sensitizes and activizes the anxious young generation. The textbook of the subject determines and analyzes the human impact and their consequences to the natural ecosystems. In the total content there are also numerous examples from the natural, man‐made and cultural environment of Greece.     

Is the antipredatory response in behaviour reflected in stress measured in faecal corticosteroids in a small rodent?

Predation risk has been shown to alter various behaviours in prey. Risk alters activity, habitat use and foraging, and weight decrease might be a consequence of that. In mammals, studies on physiological measures affected by risk of predation, other than weight, are rare. We studied in two separate laboratory experiments foraging, hoarding behaviour and expression of stress measured non-invasively from the faeces in the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus), a common boreal rodent. Voles were exposed to predation risk using odours of the least weasels (Mustela nivalis nivalis). Distilled water served as control. In the first experiment, we found that foraging effort, measured as sunflower seeds taken from seed trays filled with sand, was significantly lower in trays scented with weasel odour. Both immediate consumption of seeds and hoarding were affected negatively by the weasel odour. Females hoarded significantly more than males in autumn. In the second experiment, the negative effect of weasel odour on foraging was consistent over a 3-day experiment, but the strongest effect was observed in the first night. Foraging increased over the time of the experiment, which might reflect either energetic compensation during a longer period of risk, predicted in the predation risk allocation hypothesis, or habituation to the odour-simulated risk. Despite decreased foraging under predation risk, stress measured as corticosteroid metabolite concentration in vole faeces was not affected by the weasel odour treatment. In conclusion, we were able to verify predation-risk-mediated changes in the foraging effort of bank voles but no physiological stress response was measured non-invasively, probably due to great individual variation in secretion of stress hormones.
