The larvae and pupae of the ladybird Thalassa saginata develop inside colonies of the dolichoderine ant Dolichoderus bidens. This association is the first specific and obligatory relationship recorded between ants and ladybirds. The ants provide shelter and protection to the larvae but the diet of the latter remains unclear. The integration of T. saginata larvae into the ant colonies is achieved by mimicking the cuticular patterns of the ants brood. Moreover, the larvae secrete substances from their hairs and anal gland that are likely to enhance their attractiveness.     

Biomineralization in plants as a long-term carbon sink

Carbon sequestration in the global carbon cycle is almost always attributed to organic carbon storage alone, while soil mineral carbon is generally neglected. However, due to the longer residence time of mineral carbon in soils (10²–10⁶ years), if stored in large quantities it represents a potentially more efficient sink. The aim of this study is to estimate the mineral carbon accumulation due to the tropical iroko tree (Milicia excelsa) in Ivory Coast. The iroko tree has the ability to accumulate mineral carbon as calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in ferralitic soils, where CaCO₃ is not expected to precipitate. An estimate of this accumulation was made by titrating carbonate from two characteristic soil profiles in the iroko environment and by identifying calcium (Ca) sources. The system is considered as a net carbon sink because carbonate accumulation involves only atmospheric CO₂ and Ca from Ca-carbonate-free sources. Around one ton of mineral carbon was found in and around an 80-year-old iroko stump, proving the existence of a mineral carbon sink related to the iroko ecosystem. Conservation of iroko trees and the many other biomineralizing plant species is crucial to the maintenance of this mineral carbon sink.

加拿大有机农业中的杂草管理

本文介绍了加拿大有机农业生产中防治杂草的各种措施，包括作物轮作、绿肥作物、可持续土壤管理、适度机械耕作等。同时选择合适的播种时间、播种率、行间距为作物创造有利的与杂草竞争的条件。当杂草比较严重时，还可进行机械锄草或火烧。     

公路的环境美学与景观

公路建设作为人类实践创造活动之一，它为人们所提供的不仅仅是交通便捷与安全的享受，而且还应有视觉上的娱悦和满足。一条公路，可以吸引人们的视觉，也可以使人们熟视无睹。这取决于公路在周围风景中的实际布局及详细设计和维护保养的程度。和谐、连贯、稳定等公路景观评价和设计中常常使用的概念。公路对景观的影响是不可避免的，符合美学原则的减轻措施是公路景观恢复的有效手段。一条精心设计的公路应与周围环境和谐一致，应该充分利用地形和景色，包括一些当地最好的代表植物，使其融入自然。并且在可能的情况下，凭籍自己独到的设计和上乘的品质，使其成为一个旅游观赏景区。     

基于灰色预测模型的合肥市城市生活垃圾产量预测

随着合肥市经济的快速发展和人民生活水平的普遍提高,生活和生产过程中产生的日益增多的城市生活垃圾,已成为困扰城市发展、污染市容环境、影响市民生活的社会问题.通过对合肥市城市生活垃圾现状的分析,得出合肥市城市垃圾产生量是逐年增长的,每年3月、5月和8月为垃圾高产期,2月和4月为相对较少月份.在现状分析基础上建立灰色预测模型并用其对未来城市生活垃圾产量进行预测,结果表明合肥市到2030年城市垃圾产量将达到222.47万吨.
