Population and community resilience in multitrophic communities

Diversity-stability relationships have long been a topic of controversy in ecology, but one whose importance has been re-highlighted by increasing large-scale threats to global biodiversity. The ability of a community to recover from a perturbation (or resilience) is a common measure of stability that has received a large amount of theoretical attention. Yet, general expectations regarding diversity-resilience relations remain elusive. Moreover, the effects of productivity and its interaction with diversity on resilience are equally unclear. We examined the effects of species diversity, species composition, and productivity on population-and community-level resilience in experimental aquatic food webs composed of bacteria, algae, heterotrophic protozoa, and rotifers. Productivity manipulations were crossed with manipulations of the number of species and species compositions within trophic groups. Resilience was measured by perturbing communities with a nonselective, density-independent, mortality event and comparing responses over time between perturbed communities and controls. We found evidence that species diversity can enhance resilience at the community level (i.e., total community biomass), though this effect was more strongly expressed in low-productivity treatments. Diversity effects on resilience were driven by a sampling/selection effect, with resilient communities showing rapid response and dominance by a minority of species (primarily unicellular algae). In contrast, diversity had no effect on mean population-level resilience. Instead, the ability of a community's populations to recover from perturbations was dependent on species composition. We found no evidence of an effect of productivity, either positive or negative, on community- or population-level resilience. Our results indicate that the role of diversity as an insurer of stability may depend on the level of biological organization at which stability is measured, with effects emerging only when focusing on aggregate community properties.     

Accumulation of organochlorine pesticides by semipermeable membrane devices using composite complex

Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) were developed for passive in situ monitoring of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in aqueous solution in both laboratory and field (Pearl River Delta, China) studies. The device consisted of a thin film of neutral lipid triolein, enclosed in thin-walled tubing made of composite cellulose acetate membrane (CA) supported by linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) (CAPE). Results from the laboratory and field application indicated that triolein-CAPE (TCAPE) could quickly and efficiently accumulate hydrophobic OCPs in water and uptake equilibrium could reached within 20h in the laboratory. Some mathematical relationships of TCAPE-water partition coefficient (logK(sw)), triolein-water partition coefficient (logK(tw)) and octanol-water partition coefficient (logK(ow)) were developed under the laboratory conditions. A good correlation of accumulation in TCAPE with r(2) values ranging from 0.55 to 0.86 for individual OCPs (n=8) and an excellent correlation of logK(sw) and logK(ow) was also obtained under the field conditions. The average OCPs concentration in the surface water could be estimated by measuring OCPs concentration in the device under the field conditions.

超支化水煤浆分散剂的合成与性能研究

以甲醇为溶剂,采用发散合成法,以脱氢枞胺、丙烯酸甲酯和乙二胺为原料,通过迈克尔加成反应和酰胺化缩合反应合成了一种低代超支化分子骨架.以这种低代超支化骨架为起始剂,与氯乙酸反应制备了一种新型的松香基超支化水煤浆分散剂.采用红外光谱和核磁分析对产物进行结构表征,同时用这种新型的分散剂对陕西神府煤制浆,考察了制得的水煤浆的表观黏度、Zeta电位和稳定性等性能.结果表明:松香基超支化水煤浆分散剂可以制备具有较高质量分数的水煤浆,在浆体质量分数为67％,分散剂用量为0.4％(分散剂占浆体的质量分数)时,水煤浆黏度仅为980 mPa·s.这种新型分散剂明显改善了水煤浆的成浆性能,增强了浆体的静态稳定性,并具有很好的降黏效果.

华北地区农田潜在生态毒性评估与农业可持续发展——以山东桓台县冬小麦-夏玉米轮作系统为例

使用USES-LCA模型,对连续10多年过量使用化肥和农药的华北高产粮区农田系统进行了潜在生态毒性评估。结果表明,虽然潜在的人体毒性表现不明显,但1997和2007年小麦-玉米轮作的潜在水体毒性分别是225.15、261.08、308.24和303.45 kg1,4-DCBeq;土壤毒性分别是3.12、2.76、3.55和3.24 kg1,4-DCBeq,都呈正增长趋势,以潜在水体毒性表现最为明显。虽然农药对环境的实际威胁还需进一步证实,但严格禁止高毒农药的使用,规范农药的施用量和使用方式已经刻不容缓;与此同时,必须加强农业生态毒性评价体系和生态污染防控机制研究,这样才能促进农业的可持续发展。
