热带海洋景观的生态系统服务替代和恢复

分析了人类利用技术手段来替代和恢复生态系统服务功能的一些尝试(如红树林海水养殖、人造海堤、人造礁等),讨论人工技术能在多大程度在替代海岸带景观的生态系统功能,生态系统的恢复项日是否既能恢复生态系统为人类提供的直接利用价值,也能恢复系统面对未来干扰的自我恢复能力.研究表明,替代项目仅能替代生态系统的某些功能,且需要耗费巨大的工程和维修费用.另外,恢复项目往往没有考虑大尺度的过程,如红树林、海草床、珊瑚礁之间物理的、生物的、生化的交互作用,造成恢复生态系统的生物多样性及抗干扰能力降低.     

Simulated dynamics of carbon stocks driven by changes in land use, management and climate in a tropical moist ecosystem of Ghana

Sub-Saharan Africa is large and diverse with regions of food insecurity and high vulnerability to climate change. This project quantifies carbon stocks and fluxes in the humid forest zone of Ghana, as a part of an assessment in West Africa. The General Ensemble biogeochemical Modeling System (GEMS) was used to simulate the responses of natural and managed systems to projected scenarios of changes in climate, land use and cover, and nitrogen fertilization in the Assin district of Ghana. Model inputs included historical land use and cover data, historical climate records and projected climate changes, and national management inventories. Our results show that deforestation for crop production led to a loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) by 33% from 1900 to 2000. The results also show that the trend of carbon emissions from cropland in the 20th century will continue through the 21st century and will be increased under the projected warming and drying scenarios. Nitrogen (N) fertilization in agricultural systems could offset SOC loss by 6% with 30 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ and by 11% with 60 kg N ha⁻¹ year⁻¹. To increase N fertilizer input would be one of the vital adaptive measures to ensure food security and maintain agricultural sustainability through the 21st century.

Effect of acidic deposition on productivity of forest ecosystem and estimation of its economic losses in southern suburbs of Chongqing

In accordance with principle sand methods of ecology,this paper studied the effects of acidic deposition on productivity and volume increment of masson pine and Cinnamomum campora forest which are widely distributed in southern suburbs of Chongqing. Based on the field data and measurements, a multivariable stepwise regression model was established to analyze the effects of multiple environmental factors on the productivity of the forest ecosystems. This model was used to assess the volume and economic losses of these two forest ecosystems caused by acidic deposition. The results showed that, among the environmental factors, pH value of precipitation, soil depth, soil organic contents and slope are the dominant ones influencing the growth of masson pine forest. It is also shown that the acidic deposition has no clear relation to the growth of C.Campora forest, so development of such broad-leaved forest is suitable in the area.     

2，4，6－三氯酚在土壤－小麦生态系统中的迁移、降解

用GC/ECD法测定土壤－小麦模拟生态系统中,2,4,6－三氯酚（TCP）浓度随时间的变化值,显示出TCP在土壤中的半衰期为3天,在小麦中的半衰期为8天。实验周期以后,土壤、小麦中未检出TCP残留物。假设TCP在系统中的迁移、降解遵循一级动力学过程,用二室系统模型预测了该土壤－小麦系统,土壤和小麦中TCP浓度随时间的变化值,比较TCP浓度的预测值与实验值,说明此模型是可靠的。实验结果为经天津土地处理系统处理后污水的安全回用,提供了科学依据。

黑河流域张掖市生态系统服务恢复价值评估研究——连续型和离散型条件价值评估方法的比较应用

条件价值评估法的调查问卷格式主要有连续型(包括开放式、支付卡式)和离散型(即封闭式)两种类型。针对黑河流域张掖市生态系统退化的现状,在连续型的支付卡问卷格式调查的基础上,以离散型单边界两分式和双边界两分式的封闭式问卷格式各设计了400份调查问卷,调查了黑河流域居民对恢复张掖市生态系统服务的支付意愿。封闭式两分式问卷调查结果的分析表明,黑河流域90.2%的居民家庭对恢复张掖市生态系统服务存在支付意愿。单边界两分式和双边界两分式问卷分析的黑河流域居民家庭对恢复张掖市生态系统服务的平均最大支付意愿每户每年分别为162.82元和182.38元。按黑河流域有支付意愿的家庭数量计算,用单边界两分式和双边界两分式问卷分析,恢复张掖市生态系统服务的经济效益每年分别为7094.36×104元和7946.66×104元。由于双边界两分式问卷更能逼近市场行为,以双边界两分式问卷的结果作为条件价值评估的结果相对比较恰当,因此,未来5年时间恢复张掖市生态系统服务总经济价值的现值为3.7478×108元。由于恢复张掖市生态系统服务具有巨大的正外部效应,因此,仅就黑河流域居民家庭数量估计的经济价值是对恢复张掖市生态系统服务的经济价值的最低估价。     

Fungal contamination of stored automobile-fuels in a tropical environment

Because of the lack of reports, the base levels of microbial contamination on stored fuels are unknown in tropical regions and it is unclear whether these levels have some influence on fuel quality parameters. Therefore, fungal quality in automobile fuels stored across Costa Rican territory was evaluated during two years according to the standard ASTM D6974-04. For a total of 96 samples, counts and identification of molds and yeasts were performed on regular gas, premium gas and diesel taken from the bottom and superior part of the container tanks. The highest contamination was found on the bottom of the tanks, where an aqueous phase was usually identified, showing populations over the ones present in the hydrocarbon itself (up to 108 CFU/L). Diesel was the most contaminated fuel (up to 107 CFU/L); however, an alteration on the physicochemical parameters was not observed in any kind of fuel. Seventy-five mold strains were isolated, Penicillium sp. being the most common genus (45.8% of the samples), and ten yeast strains, from the genera Candida sp. and Rhodotorula sp. Four of the yeasts were able to grow on diesel as the sole carbon source, at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 25%. Increasing the frequency of tank cleaning, adding antimicrobial agents and monitoring microbial populations are recommended strategies to improve microbial quality of stored fuels.     

Vegetation dynamics after compost amendment in a Mediterranean post-fire ecosystem

On Mediterranean calcareous soils, high fire frequency induces soil impoverishment and the development of stable Quercus coccifera garrigues. Organic amendment could increase soil fertility levels, and could alter the vegetation dynamics and the established dominance relationships. In this study, the plant cover evolution is monitored in an amended burnt shrub during two years. Three treatments are studied: control (D0), 50 t ha⁻¹ (D50) and 100 t ha⁻¹ (D100) of fresh co-composted sewage sludge and greenwastes.First, the spreading process leads to the squashing of the vegetation, whose intensity reaches a threshold on D100 and limits the woody species’ recovery after amendment. Consequently, the dominant herb Brachypodium retusum is favoured. On D50, woody species are favoured compared to herbs, probably due to the space colonization strategy of Q. coccifera after squashing. Thus, compost at both rates favours the two dominant resprouter species until they have colonized all the free space created by squashing.Secondly, compost has some fertilizing effects on Rosmarinus officinalis and Ulex parviflorus, that improves their cover on D50. However, compost also increases U. parviflorus’ sensitivity to drought.At the end of the experiment, a third compost effect appears, as seeder cover becomes greater than D0 on D50. After amendment, compost covers rocky stones, which creates a new territory where species with superficial rooting can establish (mulch effect).     

钷－147在模拟水域生态系中的行为

研究了在模似池塘小生境中,147Pm在水体、土壤及水生生物之间的转移和积累情况,建立了动力学模型。结果表明：其行为符合一级反应动力学模式;水生植物对¹⁴⁷Pm的浓缩能力最强;鱼对¹⁴⁷Pm的吸收极少;¹⁴⁷Pm在土壤中的渗透力较弱,80％浓缩于泥土表层1cm内。因此,水生植物可作为¹⁴⁷Pm污染水体的环境监测指示生物,并可用于净化被¹⁴⁷Pm污染的水体;土壤可以沉淀水体中的147Pm,对去污有一定效果。     

Elevated CO2 facilitates C and N accumulation in a rice paddy ecosystem

Elevated CO2 can stimulate wetland carbon(C) and nitrogen(N) exports through gaseous and dissolved pathways, however, the consequent influences on the C and N pools are still not fully known. Therefore, we set up a free-air CO2 enrichment experiment in a paddy field in Eastern China. After five year fumigation, we studied C and N in the plant–water–soil system. The results showed:(1) elevated CO2 stimulated rice aboveground biomass and N accumulations by 19.1% and 12.5%, respectively.(2) Elevated CO2 significantly increased paddy soil TOC and TN contents by 12.5% and 15.5%, respectively in the 0–15 cm layer, and22.7% and 26.0% in the 15–30 cm soil layer.(3) Averaged across the rice growing period,elevated CO2 greatly increased TOC and TN contents in the surface water by 7.6% and 11.4%,respectively.(4) The TOC/TN ratio and natural δ15N value in the surface soil showed a decreasing trend under elevated CO2. The above results indicate that elevated CO2 can benefit C and N accumulation in paddy fields. Given the similarity between the paddies and natural wetlands, our results also suggest a great potential for long-term C and N accumulation in natural wetlands under future climate patterns.     

污水稳定塘菌-藻生态系统去除与灭活植物病毒TMV研究

了解污水稳定塘生态系统去除与灭活植物病毒的效率与机理具有重要的理论和实际意义.对模型植物病毒———烟草花叶病毒(tobaccomosaicvirus,TMV)的实验结果显示:稳定塘系统中的悬浮固体(SS)可在短时间内吸附TMV且达到一个饱和值.纯培养的枯草芽孢杆菌及小球藻对TMV的存活无明显不良影响,而光合细菌和稳定塘中的混合细菌群却对TMV具有灭活作用.当它们同藻类形成菌藻共生体系时,对TMV的灭活速率分别从对照的每天0 0404log10(枯斑数·mL-1)升高到0 0783log10(枯斑数·mL-1)和0 075log10(枯斑数·mL-1) 因此,在污水稳定塘生态系统中,由于病毒对悬浮固体的吸附以及菌藻共生体系中微生物的作用可有效地去除与灭活植物病毒,其中悬浮固体吸附病毒并非真正意义上的灭活,稳定塘中存在的细菌特别是光合细菌对植物病毒的灭活才是最主要的因素.     

Temporal organization among pollination systems in a tropical seasonal forest

The Placerias/Downs’ Quarry complex in eastern Arizona, USA, is the most diverse Upper Triassic vertebrate locality known. We report a new short-faced archosauriform, Syntomiprosopus sucherorum gen. et sp. nov., represented by four incomplete mandibles, that expands that diversity with a morphology unique among Late Triassic archosauriforms. The most distinctive feature of Syntomiprosopus gen. nov. is its anteroposteriorly short, robust mandible with 3–4 anterior, a larger caniniform, and 1–3 “postcanine” alveoli. The size and shape of the alveoli and the preserved tips of replacement teeth preclude assignment to any taxon known only from teeth. Additional autapomorphies of S. sucherorum gen. et sp. nov. include a large fossa associated with the mandibular fenestra, an interdigitating suture of the surangular with the dentary, fine texture ornamenting the medial surface of the splenial, and a surangular ridge that completes a 90° arc. The external surfaces of the mandibles bear shallow, densely packed, irregular, fine pits and narrow, arcuate grooves. This combination of character states allows an archosauriform assignment; however, an associated and similarly sized braincase indicates that Syntomiprosopus n. gen. may represent previously unsampled disparity in early-diverging crocodylomorphs. The Placerias Quarry is Adamanian (Norian, maximum depositional age ~219 Ma), and this specimen appears to be an early example of shortening of the skull, which occurs later in diverse archosaur lineages, including the Late Cretaceous crocodyliform Simosuchus. This is another case where Triassic archosauriforms occupied morphospace converged upon by other archosaurs later in the Mesozoic and further demonstrates that even well-sampled localities can yield new taxa.

     

Colorful displays signal male quality in a tropical anole lizard

Parasites influence colorful ornaments and their behavioral display in many animal hosts. Because coloration and display behavior are often critical components of communication, variation in these traits may have important implications for individual fitness, yet it remains unclear whether such traits are signals of quality in many taxa. We investigated the association between ectoparasitic mite load and the color and behavioral use of the throat fan (dewlap) by male Anolis brevirostris lizards. We found that heavily parasitized lizards exhibited lower body condition, duller dewlaps, and less frequent dewlap displays than less parasitized individuals. Our results thus suggest that highly parasitized individuals invest less in both ornamental color and behavioral display of that color. Because the two components of the signal simultaneously provide information on male quality, this study provides novel support for the long-standing hypothesis that colorful traits may function as social or sexual signals in reptiles.

生物紊动床内短程硝化过程研究

采用生物紊动床反应器(BTBR),分别研究了氨氮浓度、溶解氧浓度和有机物浓度对硝化过程的影响,以及不同条件下短程硝化的实现方法及特点。试验结果表明,通过高浓度游离氨对硝化菌选择性抑制所获得的亚硝酸盐积累是不稳定的;在0.5￣1.0mg/L溶解氧下,DO成为增殖的限制基质,可实现亚硝酸盐稳定的积累;当进水NH+4-N为300mg/L时,出水硝态氮中亚硝酸盐氮比例稳定在80%以上。在DO浓度为2￣3mg/L的条件下,有机物浓度为200m gTOC/L时对硝化作用影响不大;DO浓度为0.5￣1.0mg/L、TOC为100mg/L时硝化系统即受到破坏。     

Soil carbon sequestration in tropical agroforestry systems: a feasibility appraisal

Agroforestry is recognized as a strategy for soil carbon sequestration (SCS) under the afforestation/reforestation activities, but our understanding of soil carbon (C) dynamics under agroforestry systems (AFS) is not adequate. Although some SCS estimates are available, many of them lack scientific rigor. Several interrelated and site-specific factors ranging from agroecological conditions to system management practices influence the rate and extent of SCS under AFS, so that generalizations tend to become unrealistic. Furthermore, widely and easily adoptable methodologies are not available for estimating the SCS potential under different conditions. In spite of these, there is an increasing demand for developing “best-bet estimates” based on the current level of knowledge and experience. This document presents an attempt in that direction. The appraisal validates the conjecture that AFS can contribute to SCS, and presents indicative ranges of SCS under different AFS in the major agroecological regions of the tropics. The suggested values range from 5 to 10 kg C ha^?1 in about 25 years in extensive tree-intercropping systems of arid and semiarid lands to 100–250 kg C ha^?1 in about 10 years in species-intensive multistrata shaded perennial systems and homegardens of humid tropics.     

中国森林生态系统服务功能及其价值评价

森林生态系统对维持我国自然生态系统格局、功能和过程具有特殊的生态意义。客观衡量森林生态系统的服务效能,对于森林资源保护及其科学利用具有重要意义。论文在分析森林生态系统服务功能的基础上,根据其提供服务的机制、类型和效用,把森林生态系统的服务功能划分为提供产品、调节功能、文化功能和生命支持功能四大类,建立了由林木产品、林副产品、气候调节、光合固C、涵养水源、土壤保持、净化环境、养分循环、防风固沙、文化多样性、休闲旅游、释放氧气、维持生物多样性13项功能指标构成的森林生态系统评价指标体系,并对其中的10项功能指标以2000年为评价基准年份进行了初步评价。结果表明,森林生态系统10类生态系统服务功能的总生态经济价值为14060.05×108元/a,其中直接价值和间接价值分别为2519.45×108元和11540.60×108元,间接价值是直接价值的4.6倍。研究认为,森林生态系统服务功能及其价值评价工作应进一步加强森林生态系统服务功能机制的基础研究和不同尺度下空间数据的耦合和应用方法研究。
