厚荚相思和尾叶桉人工林土壤线虫群落研究

相思树和桉树等树种因其生长迅速、耐性好以及适合制作纸浆等特点,近年来在华南地区大面积种植,带来了巨大的经济利益,但是相思树和桉树如何影响林下土壤生物多样性和土壤肥力还不清楚,科学评价其林下土壤健康水平十分必要。土壤线虫的种类和数量十分丰富,在土壤食物网各营养级中占据重要位置,对土壤环境变化反应敏感,作为土壤健康的指示生物被广泛应用。本文以幼龄厚荚相思 Acacia crassicapa和尾叶桉 Eucalyptus urophylla人工林为研究对象,于干季和湿季分别对2个林分根区和非根区土壤线虫进行研究,探讨土壤线虫这种指示生物的数量、各营养类群比例和多样性的变化规律,以及它们和环境因子的关系。主要结果表明：（1）厚荚相思土壤线虫总数为每公斤干土6741条,显著高于尾叶桉线虫总数的28.3%。厚荚相思人工林土壤食细菌线虫的百分比相比尾叶桉人工林高6.3%,且差异显著。（2）土壤线虫的群落组成变化具有明显的季节波动,湿季土壤食细菌线虫比例上升,而植物寄生线虫的比例下降,多样性指数由干季的0.87减小到0.75,统计差异均达到了显著水平。（3）根区比非根区显著提高了线虫数量的89.1%,这是由根区积累更多的有机碳和总氮引起的。总之,厚荚相思人工林为土壤自由生活线虫提供了优良环境,且在幼龄期没有表现出土壤酸化,生态效应优于尾叶桉人工林,在华南地区人工林营林过程中可适当增加厚荚相思林分面积。     

Photosynthesis and respiration of exposed salt-marsh fucoids

Photosynthesis and respiration of the salt-marsh fucoids Ascophyllum nodosum ecad scorpioides and Fucus vesiculosus were investigated using an infrared CO₂ gas analyzer under a variety of light intensities, temperatures, and levels of desiccation while the algae were exposed to the atmosphere. Results indicated that net photosynthesis (0.5 to 2.0 mg C/g dry weight/h) saturated rapidly at light intensities (0.1 to 0.2 g cal/cm²/min) which were approximately 10 to 50% of the daily summer maximum intensities for algae found under phanerogam (Spartina alterniflora) canopies. Desiccation exhibited the most pronounced effect on photosynthesis, which increases slightly between 0 and 25% water loss, levels off, and decreases sharply at water losses greater than 50%. Dark respiration (0.1 to 0.3 mg C/g dry weight/h) is also inhibited by desiccation. Both species of algae appear to be broadly adapted to all three parameters investigated.This research was supported by research grants AG-375 and BO 38018 from the National Science Foundation and, in part, by the State University of New York Research Foundation and the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA).Communicated by M.R.

Photosynthesis in whole plants of Chondrus crispus

Photosynthesis in whole plants of Chondrus crispus Stackhouse was measured by ¹⁴C uptake under various light intensities and temperature regimes. In plants collected from waters of 6° to 7°C, photosynthesis did not increase with light intensity over a range of 200 to 2400 foot candles (ft-c). However, in plants collected from waters of 10° to 12°C, the rate of photosynthesis was lower over the range 200 to 1400 ft-c but, at 2000 ft-c, increased to a level similar to that of the 6° to 7°C plants. Ethanol-soluble and insoluble fractions showed similar patterns.     

The economic impact of the invasion of Acacia saligna in Israel

This paper illustrates the use of alternative, non-market valuation methods to estimate the economic value of ecological damage caused by the invasive plant Acacia saligna. We discuss the motivation to perform an economic valuation for bio-invasion in general and then examine the costs and benefits of conservation management programmes that reduce the risk of A. saligna invasion at the Nizzanim Long-Term Ecosystem Research (LTER) nature reserve in Israel. The study found that the annual mean willingness to pay (WTP) for containment or eradication of A. saligna was US$8.41 and US$8.83, respectively. The value placed on conserving the nature reserve was then compared to the cost of containment or eradication of the species, enabling a standard economic benefit–cost analysis. The result of this analysis showed that, using the most conservative method of valuation of the nature reserve, eradication of A. saligna gave a net benefit.

湿地碳汇功能探讨:以泥炭地和芦苇湿地为例

大量研究表明湿地是地球表层系统中的重要碳汇,对于吸收大气中的温室气体,减缓全球气候变暖有重要作用.由于近几十年来全球气候变暖和人类活动的影响,湿地碳汇功能不断减弱.文章以泥炭地和芦苇Phragmites australis湿地为例来分析湿地的碳汇功能发现:农业排水、土地利用方式的改变、大气中CO2体积分数升高、全球气候变化等人为和自然因素影响了泥炭地的碳汇功能,泥炭地的碳蓄积能力下降,逐渐由"碳汇"转变为"碳源";尽管芦苇湿地是CH4的重要来源,但其对CO2具有较强的碳汇作用,综合来看芦苇湿地的仍是温室气体的净汇;人工芦苇湿地污水净化系统的温室气体排放量高于天然芦苇湿地.分析表明,研究泥炭地和芦苇湿地在全球气候变化下的响应及反馈机制,确定合理的湿地开发模式将是未来湿地碳汇研究的主要方向.     

Large Mammalian Herbivores and the Conservation of Arid Acacia Stands in the Middle East

Abstract: High mortality and poor recruitment in Acacia tree populations in many parts of the Middle East may result in loss of biodiversity. Human activities in recent decades have caused drastic changes in the water regime and the abundance of wild and domestic ungulates, which may negatively affect these trees. We studied the effects of large mammalian herbivores on the establishment of young Acacia raddiana and A. tortilis in the Arava Valley between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, Israel. Seed accumulation under trees was high when large herbivores were excluded, and direct observations confirmed that ungulates were the main seed dispersers of these Acacia species. Insect seed predators (bruchid beetles) damaged more than 95% of seeds not consumed by ungulates. Seed germination was facilitated by gut passage through ungulates. Seedling survival was determined largely by water availability and was independent of herbivore density. Under present conditions, several years of high rainfall are necessary for successful establishment of young trees. Under severe browsing pressure by ungulates, growth in juvenile trees was delayed and smaller sizes were overrepresented. There was no evidence, however, of effects on the long-term demography of Acacia trees, perhaps because ungulates increased seedling densities by enhancing the viability and germination of seeds. We conclude that large mammalian herbivores are essential components of arid Acacia savannas and that wild and domestic ungulates must be included in future conservation plans.     

Photosynthesis and chlorophyll a fluorescence rhythms of marine phytoplankton

Circadian rhythms in photosynthesis were defined in field populations of phytoplankton. Measurements of carbon-dioxide fixation rates demonstrated that a diurnal periodicity of photosynthesis in samples incubated under natural light-dark (LD) cycles also were observed to continue in similar samples which had been photoadapted to constant dim light (LL) for 48 h. These changes in photosynthetic rates preceded sunset and sunrise, had daily amplitudes that ranged from 1.5 to 2.0, appeared to be independent of light-intensity, and displayed maxima about midday, while rates of dark fixation of carbon dioxide and the photosynthetic pigment content per cell were constant over the circadian cycle. Similar rhythmicity also was detected in room-temperature (22°C) chlorophyll a fluorescence yield, in both the obsence and presence of the photosynthesis inhibitor DCMU [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea]. However, the magnitude and timing of the fluorescence rhythm maxima seem to depend on wavelengths monitored and, in part, on the measuring technique used. Also, the circadian changes in the fluorescence intensity were abolished at low temperature (-60°C), and the shape of the emission spectra of chlorophyll fluorescence of cells in LD and LL did not change over time. The significance of the fluorescence rhythms with regard to chlorophyll a determinations and photosynthetic rates is discussed. It was concluded that there was sufficient similarity between circadian rhythms of photosynthesis in natural phytoplankton populations and in laboratory cultures of dinoflagellates to suggest that the mechanism of regulation may be the same for both of them.     

Photosynthesis,photorespiration, and dark respiration in eight species of algae

The rates of photosynthesis and dark respiration for 7 marine algae and 1 fresh-water alga were measured and compared. The dinoflagellates Glenodinium sp. and zooxanthellae have high dark respiration rates relative to photosynthetic rates, which may decrease their net growth rates. Photorespiration in the 8 algal species was studied by examining the effects of the concentration of oxygen on the rates of photosynthesis, on the incorporation of ¹⁴CO₂ into the photorespiratory pathway intermediates glycine and serine, and on the postillumination burst of carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption. A combination of these results indicates that all the algae tested can photorespire, but that Glenodinium sp., Thalassiosira pseudonana, and zooxanthellae either have a photorespiratory pathway different from that proposed for freshwater algae (Tolbert, 1974), or an additional pathway for glycolate metabolism.     

全球变化下有关卤代甲烷源汇的研究进展

大气中存在的卤代甲烷对臭氧层具有极强的破坏作用并参与其它气候现象，其动态变化对臭氧的恢复和地球生态系统有重要影响。文章概述了全球变化下卤代甲烷源汇的研究情况并简单探索其进一步的研究方向。几种卤代甲烷中，溴代甲烷源汇最复杂且对臭氧具有最强的破坏力，因此研究较多。已证明CH3Br的来源有：海洋、土壤、生物燃烧、陆地植物和沼泽地的释放等；CH3Br的汇包括：光化学分解、被土壤和植物吸收、在海洋中的化学和生物降解等。但事实上是已知汇远远大于已知源，且各个源汇的通量在不同研究中结果差异较大，归其原因是卤代甲烷释放与吸收机制的不确定性。虽然近几年的研究也应用了稳定同位素示踪技术，但卤代甲烷各源汇的具体贡献并不清楚。今后卤代甲烷源汇的研究重点应放在与气体产生机制最密切的地下部分即“地下生态学”对其通量的影响，而同位素技术的改进及其在痕量气体研究中的应用也将是未来的重点方向。     

Photosynthesis and amelioration of desiccation in the intertidal saccate alga Colpomenia peregrina

Rates of gross photosynthesis for the intertidal saccate alga Colpomenia peregrina (Sauv.) Hamel were determined under submersed and emersed conditions. Maximal photosynthetic rates were lower than for most seaweeds but comparable with other saccate members of the genus. By fitting the data to a hyperbolic tangent function, maximal photosynthetic rates were estimated to be 5.29 mmol CO₂ m^-2 h^-1 under submersed conditions and 2.06 mmol CO₂ m^-2 h^-1 under emersed conditions. I_k for submersed thalli was 69.1 E m^-2 s^-1, wherea for emersed thalli it was 149.0 E m^-2 s^-1, or 2.2 times higher. At low tide in the field and under saturating irradiance, carbon from seawater retained within the thallus cavity was assimilated at 0.9 mmol CO₂ m^-2 h^-1. In the laboratory under emersed conditions, carbon from this source was taken up at 0.6 mmol CO₂ m^-2 h^-1 at 20°C and at 0.34 mmol CO₂ m^-2 h^-1. Retained seawater also greatly reduced drying under desiccating conditions. Experimental thalli from which seawater had been removed lost thallus water continuously throughout the drying period (120 min). On the other hand, control, thalli lost water for the first 15 min, after which no further water loss occurred. At the termination of the experiment, control thalli had lost 7.2% of their water, whereas experimental thalli had lost 39.2%. Desiccation affected the emersed photosynthetic rate of experimental and control thalli. Emersed photosynthetic rates for thalli dried for 15 min were higher than for fullyhydrated thalli. However, emersed photosynthesis of thalli dried for longer than 15 min was lower than fully-hydrated rates and was directly related to percent water loss. Utilizing data from this study, a model was constructed to determine total photosynthetic production of C. peregrina over a single daylight period. From these calculations it was determined that emersed photosynthesis can increase daily photosynthetic production of C. peregrina by 50%.     

Photosynthesis and respiration in the alga Ahnfeltia plicata in a flow-through system

Photosynthesis and respiration in Ahnfeltia plicata (Huds.) Fries (Gigartinales) was measured in a seawater flowthrough system at different temperatures, salinities and photon flux densities (PFD). The exchanges of dissolved oxygen and inorganic carbon were continuously recorded with an oxygen probe and a pH electrode measuring variation in CO₂–HCO ₃ ^- equilibrium as pH changes. Highest apparent photosynthesis at moderate photon flux density (PFD 50 E m^-2 s^-1) was found at 15°C and 33 S. Photosynthesis was measured up to PFD 500 E m^-2 s^-1 and no light saturation was documented. In the present experimental set-up, with continuous supply of fresh seawater, the number of limiting factors during photosynthesis measurements is reduced.     

Photosynthesis and ion loss in the brown algae Dictyopteris membranacea and Fucus virsoides

The sublittoral brown alga Dictyopteris membranacea (Stackhouse) Batters is very sensitive to low salinities. A one minute exposure to distilled water causes total breakdown of photosynthesis and respiration. The breakdown phenomena were studied as after-effects following re-exposure to sea water. Since rate of ion loss is highest during the first minute of osmotic stress, the irreversible metabolic depression appears to be due to fast ion loss. Photosynthesis of Fucus virsoides J.Ag is not affected by distilled water, even over very long periods of time.     

The inflationary effects of environmental fluctuations ensure the persistence of sink metapopulations

Under current rates of environmental change many populations may be found in habitats of low quality and low conservation value, creating population sinks. We test recent theory that suggests, surprisingly, that stochastic environmental variability may enhance the long-term persistence of sink metapopulations. Using experimental populations of Paramecium aurelia we show that it is possible for a metapopulation comprised entirely of sink populations to persist for many generations in a random environment. In accordance with the theory, we show that positive temporal autocorrelation and low spatial correlation in the environment can ensure the long-term persistence and enhance the mean and maximum abundance of sink metapopulations. High levels of spatial correlation in the environment created strong population synchrony and limited the persistence time of the sink metapopulations. These results have important implications for the development of a theory underlying the synergistic effects of habitat fragmentation and environmental change on population persistence.     

四环素对铜绿微囊藻光合作用和抗氧化酶活性的影响

以铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)为试验材料,研究了四环素暴露对铜绿微囊藻光合作用和抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果显示,0.80~35.00 mg.L-1四环素暴露胁迫4 d时,铜绿微囊藻的叶绿素荧光和潜在最大电子传递速率(Re,t,max)受到抑制,抑制作用随ρ(四环素)的增加而增强,最大抑制率分别为39.95%和44.08%;暴露7 d时,2者最大抑制率分别升高至59.48%和91.90%。抗氧化酶系统也受到四环素的影响,暴露4和7 d时,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性分别下降30.36%~35.92%和25.03%~35.51%,不同四环素浓度组间差异不显著;过氧化物酶(POD)活性升高,在7 d内呈现诱导现象。可见,四环素暴露能够阻碍铜绿微囊藻光合作用,破坏抗氧化酶系统平衡,抑制藻类生物量的增长。     

Photosynthesis and carbon storage between tides in a brown alga, Fucus vesiculosus

Intertidal macroalgae may spend a significant part of their lives in air. During photosynthesis in air, they encounter much lower concentrations of inorganic carbon than in seawater. Because they accumulate inorganic carbon from seawater, we investigated whether they similarly accumulate it from air. We measured photosynthesis in the intertidal species Fucus vesiculosus L. during 1990 and 1991 with a gas-phase O₂ electrode or CO₂-exchange apparatus in air and with a liquid-phase O₂ electrode in seawater. Maximum rates were rapid and similar in air and seawater regardless of the method. Tissue from seawater could carry on photosynthesis in CO₂-free air, indicating that carbon was stored in the tissue. After 2 h, this store was depleted and photosynthesis ceased. Supplying CO₂ in air replenished the store. Under identical conditions, terrestrial C₃ and C₄ species showed no evidence of this store, but a CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) species did. However, in contrast to the CAM behavior, F. vesiculosus did not store CO₂ significantly in the dark. We found a small acid-releasable pool of carbon in the tissue that disappeared as photosynthesis depleted the carbon store. However, the pool was too small to account for the total carbon stored. While CO₂ was being acquired or released from the store in the light, photosynthesis was not inhibited by 21% O₂. These results indicate that there are two parallel paths for the supply of CO₂ to photosynthesis. The first depends on inorganic carbon in seawater or in air and supports rapid photosynthesis. The second involves CO₂ slowly released from an organic intermediate. The release protects CO₂ fixation from the inhibitory effects of 21% O₂. Photosynthesis in F. vesiculosus thus appears to be C₃-like in its rapid fixation of CO₂ from a small inorganic pool into phosphoglycerate. However, it is C₄-like in its pre-fixation of carbon in an organic pool in the light, and is CAM-like in its ability to slowly use this pool as a sole source of CO₂. The organic pool may serve to protect photosynthetic CO₂ fixation against the inhibitory effects of O₂ in air and in the boundary layer in seawater.

蔗糖浓度和光强对姜试管苗生长和光合的影响

研究了0%、1%、3%三个蔗糖浓度和60、120、180 μmol m-2 s-1三个光强梯度对河南张良姜和四川竹根姜试管苗生长和光合作用的影响.结果表明,随着蔗糖浓度的降低,两个品种试管苗的生长受到明显抑制,叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量也随之下降,但总光合速率(Pg)、净光合速率(Pn)和暗呼吸速率(Rd)却随之升高, Fv/Fm均以3%蔗糖处理最低.将光强从60 μmol m-2 s-1提高到120 μmol m-2 s-1,对试管苗生长有一定促进作用,但180 μmol m-2 s-1光强下其生长受到抑制.两个品种的叶绿素含量随光强增加均呈下降趋势.张良姜Pn以120 μmol m-2 s-1光强处理最高,竹根姜Pn随培养光强升高而升高, 180 μmol m-2 s-1光强下达到最大值,为0.88 μmol m-2 s-1. 180 μmol m-2 s-1光强下培养的张良姜试管苗Fv/Fm明显降低,发生了光抑制.竹根姜各光强处理间Fv/Fm无显著差异.张良姜试管苗的Rd随培养光强升高而增大,而竹根姜各光强处理间Rd差异不显著.表6参22

Photosynthesis in air and in water of Acanthophora najadiformis growing within a narrow zone of the intertidal

In this work, we investigated photosynthetic gas exchange responses of the red alga Acanthophora najadiformis (collected in 1991 from a shore near Netanya, Israel) to heating, light, inorganic carbon and desiccation of the thalli. This was done to elucidate some of the contributing causes for its particular restricted vertical distribution within the lower intertidal zone of the Israeli Mediterranean rocky shore. In contrast to other common intertidal species, the photosynthetic performance of A. najadiformis was very sensitive to desiccation and to high temperature, and these factors may thus prevent the alga from growing above the surge zone. On the other hand, this species photosynthesized five times faster in air than in water (provided it was kept highly hydrated), and this may be the reason why it does not succeed in competing with other algae in the subtidal which use HCO ₃ ^- more efficiently.This paper is in partial fulfillment of a Ph.D. study by R. Einav in cooperation with the Department of Ecology, University of Bielefeld (under supervision of Prof. Dr. S. W. Breckle), under a cooperative arrangement between Tel Aviv and Bielefeld Universities
