西藏高原土壤－植物系统元素分布特征研究

讨论了西藏高原３６种元素的植物含量水平及其在土壤－植物系统的分布特征、影响因素．利用吸收系数和统计分析的方法，定量描述了植物对土壤不同元素的吸收、富集能力．研究结果表明，在西藏高原的土壤－植物系统中，亲硫元素和碱金属、碱土金属元素的生物地球化学行为较亲铁元素活跃，植物元素的类型划分和元素的地球化学行为密切相关．     

兰州西固地区光化学烟雾污染气质模式

以兰州西固地区为研究对象,建立了描述该地区光化学烟雾污染的大气质量模拟模式——柱子模式。将该模式与实测数据进行了比较,结果表明,该模式基本上能够定量地描述当地所发生的光化学烟雾污染的主要污染物的时空分布及形成过程,可为污染评价、预测及污染治理提供依据。

The ecological basis of boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) management

The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman), generally considered to be native to Mexico or Central America, spread into the southern United States of America in the late 1800s and seriously threatened the cotton industry. As there were no effective alternatives, pest control specialists studied the insect's ecology and advocated cultural practices that would disrupt its environment and maximize the benefits of natural biological and environmental controls. An ecologically orientated pest management scheme founded on cultural practices emerged well before suitable chemical control technology became available and allowed farmers to live with the weevil problem.Despite the ingenuity of the early management scheme, it frequently did not provide satisfactory boll weevil control gauged by present standards. Control of the pest thus shifted largely from an ecological to a chemical approach as effective synthetic organic insecticides became available after World War II. The chemical approach was successful for a number of years, but problems of insecticide-resistant strains of pests, secondary pest outbreaks, environmental quality, and increased costs of the insecticides have forced pest control specialists to re-emphasize the nonchemical techniques used widely against the boll weevil before World War II and to revive the ecological approach to weevil management.This article examines boll weevil ecology as related to management of the insect and reviews the status and prospects of ecologically-based weevil management techniques in the United States.
