Vulnerability of 208 endemic or endangered species in China to the effects of climate change

We assessed the vulnerability of 208 endemic or endangered species in China to the effects of climate change, as a part of the project “Research on China’s National Biodiversity and Climate Change Strategy and Action Plans”. Based on the China Species Information System, we selected comprehensive species as analysis targets, covering taxa including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and plants. We applied nine species distribution models in BIOMOD (a package of R software) to estimate the current (1991–2010) ranges and predicted future (2081–2100) ranges of these species, using six climate variables based on Regional Climate Model version 3 (RegCM3) and A1B emission scenario. The model results showed that different taxa might show diverse potential range shifts over time. The range sizes of half of the species (104 species) would decrease, and those of another half would increase. We predicted that the future remaining ranges (intersection of current and future ranges/current ranges) of 135 species would be less than 50 % of their current range sizes. Species that are both endemic and critically endangered would lose more of their range than others. In summary, the most vulnerable species are currently found on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, in the Hengduan Mountain Range, and southern China. Future action plans dealing with climate change in China should be prepared with consideration for vulnerable species and their habitats.     

Effects of load carriage and work boots on lower limb kinematics of industrial workers

Load and footwear condition are two crucial elements varying the kinematic responses during walking, which probably lead to chronic injury. Fifteen healthy male individuals with no obvious gait abnormalities participated in this study. Apart from a no-load condition, four external load conditions with two load levels were investigated. Work boots were compared with running shoes to determine footwear effects. Significant impacts were found for lower limb range of motion at certain joints when carrying loads. A greater hip and ankle flexion–extension while wearing the work boots indicated that participants needed to lift the leg higher to complete toe clearance off the walking surface. Work boots also increased the vertical excursion of the center of body mass, which may impact body balance and induce falling. No significant influencing pattern of carrying modes was found, which was probably due to the light load and relatively stable mode of shoulder carrying.

土壤水分管理对甲烷和氧化亚氮排放的影响

为控制农田温室气体排放的途径提供依据,通过实验室培养的方法测定了不同水分管理条件下CH4和N2O的排放,干旱处理（60％-70％WFP）和长期淹水土样在施肥后的Eh变化。最终得出：稻田CH4和N2O排放之间存在着互为消长的关系（R2=0．609）,CH4和N2O的排放是水肥共同作用的结果,水分管理通过Eh来影响气体排放,有机质是造成前后期排放浓度差异的主要原因。

基于傅里叶变换红外光谱技术分析壬基酚和双酚A对斑马鱼胚胎的影响

壬基酚(4-NP)和双酚A(BPA)是2种在环境中普遍检出的雌激素物质,已经在地表水中广泛检出,且浓度很高。壬基酚和双酚A在地表水中检测浓度最高分别达到了644μg·L^(-1)和12μg·L(-1)和12μg·L^(-1)。目前有大量研究表明壬基酚和双酚A具有环境内分泌干扰效应,但是较少研究利用傅里叶变换红外光谱技术分析这2种物质对斑马鱼胚胎生理生化的影响。傅里叶变换红外光谱作为一种基于官能团和极性键振动结构分析技术,已广泛用于大分子化合物结构分析以及蛋白质的二级结构解析,是获取分子结构信息的有力工具,经常用于毒理学领域。本研究基于傅里叶变换红外光谱技术,分析了壬基酚和双酚A对斑马鱼胚胎的毒性。结果表明,当壬基酚≥322μg·L(-1)。目前有大量研究表明壬基酚和双酚A具有环境内分泌干扰效应,但是较少研究利用傅里叶变换红外光谱技术分析这2种物质对斑马鱼胚胎生理生化的影响。傅里叶变换红外光谱作为一种基于官能团和极性键振动结构分析技术,已广泛用于大分子化合物结构分析以及蛋白质的二级结构解析,是获取分子结构信息的有力工具,经常用于毒理学领域。本研究基于傅里叶变换红外光谱技术,分析了壬基酚和双酚A对斑马鱼胚胎的毒性。结果表明,当壬基酚≥322μg·L^(-1)时,斑马鱼胚胎72 hpf孵化率分别只有33%、5%、0%、0%和0%;同时,暴露96 h时,可显著降低斑马鱼胚胎的存活率和增加致畸指数,且呈浓度依赖特征。特别是849.5μg·L(-1)时,斑马鱼胚胎72 hpf孵化率分别只有33%、5%、0%、0%和0%;同时,暴露96 h时,可显著降低斑马鱼胚胎的存活率和增加致畸指数,且呈浓度依赖特征。特别是849.5μg·L^(-1)和1 038.5μg·L(-1)和1 038.5μg·L^(-1)壬基酚暴露后,斑马鱼胚胎全部死亡。类似地,当双酚A≥5.55 mg·L(-1)壬基酚暴露后,斑马鱼胚胎全部死亡。类似地,当双酚A≥5.55 mg·L^(-1)时,斑马鱼胚胎72 hpf孵化率分别只有30%、0%、0%和0%;暴露96 h时,双酚A≥7.5 mg·L(-1)时,斑马鱼胚胎72 hpf孵化率分别只有30%、0%、0%和0%;暴露96 h时,双酚A≥7.5 mg·L^(-1)也导致斑马鱼胚胎的存活率显著下降和增加致畸指数,并随着浓度升高毒性增大。以胚胎死亡率和致畸形指数作为效应终点,壬基酚对斑马鱼胚胎的96 h-LC_(50)和EC_(50)分别为481.7μg·L(-1)也导致斑马鱼胚胎的存活率显著下降和增加致畸指数,并随着浓度升高毒性增大。以胚胎死亡率和致畸形指数作为效应终点,壬基酚对斑马鱼胚胎的96 h-LC_(50)和EC_(50)分别为481.7μg·L^(-1)和362.6μg·L(-1)和362.6μg·L^(-1);双酚A对斑马鱼胚胎的96 h-LC_(50)和EC_(50)为8.8 mg·L(-1);双酚A对斑马鱼胚胎的96 h-LC_(50)和EC_(50)为8.8 mg·L^(-1)和7.9 mg·L(-1)和7.9 mg·L^(-1)。红外光谱分析显示,当壬基酚≥158.5μg·L(-1)。红外光谱分析显示,当壬基酚≥158.5μg·L^(-1)时,对酰胺Ⅱ、脂质、蛋白磷酸化等波数有显著影响;当双酚A≥1.75 mg·L(-1)时,对酰胺Ⅱ、脂质、蛋白磷酸化等波数有显著影响;当双酚A≥1.75 mg·L^(-1)时,对酰胺Ⅰ、酰胺Ⅱ、脂质和碳水化合物等波数有显著影响。上述研究结果显示壬基酚和双酚A对斑马鱼存活率、畸形率以及生理生化均有显著的影响。

Research on the Sustainable Utilization of Water Resources of Jinan City

Abstract

The study on the sustainable utilization of water resources of Jinan city is a research hotspot in the urban sustainable development field. How to use a scientific and rational evaluation index system to analyze the sustainable utilization of water resources of Jinan city and then guide the development and utilization of water resources becomes particularly important. Based on the theory of sustainable development this study introduces the method, basic steps and evaluation indexes of the assessment of the development and utilization of water resources. By systemic analyzing the exploitation and utilization standards of water resources and economy and society in Jinan city, the evaluation and index system of sustainable utilization of water resources in Jinan city can be constructed and index weight can be confirmed, and then, the standard of sustainable utilization of water resources in different years can be analyzed comparably. Thus, the deficiency of lack of reflection of coordination extent in water resources development standard, society and economy in traditional evaluation method is settled efficiently. The paper takes the sustainable utilization of water resources of Qingdao City in 2008 as the standard to compare and assess the water resources utilization in Jinan City. The paper also collects data of water resources in Jinan City from 2001 to 2007. The result indicates that evaluation method is of feasibility and it is effective to the implementation of sustainable utilization strategy water resources in Jinan City.
