不同pH值灌溉水对土壤Cd生物有效性及稻米Cd含量的影响

通过盆栽种植实验研究了pH值为3.5~6.5的灌溉水对稻田土壤pH值、土壤Cd生物有效性以及2种水稻品种各部位Cd含量的影响.结果表明:1不同pH值灌溉水对土壤pH值影响显著.灌溉水pH为3.5~6.5的处理下,湘晚籼土壤pH值下降了0.6~0.3个单位,威优46号土壤pH值下降了0.7~0.4个单位.2随着灌溉水pH值的升高,土壤交换态和TCLP提取态Cd含量(生物有效性)均有降低的趋势,但TCLP提取态Cd含量不显著.3随着灌溉水pH值从3.5上升到6.5,湘晚籼12号水稻植株各部位Cd含量均逐渐下降,而威优46号水稻植株各部位的Cd含量逐渐上升.与pH=3.5处理相比,浇灌pH值为4.5~6.5的灌溉水,湘晚籼12号根系、茎叶、谷壳和糙米中Cd含量分别下降32.3%~48.0%、16.5%~48.0%、40.0%~56.2%和45.6%~73.9%;相反,威优46号根系、茎叶、谷壳和糙米中Cd含量分别上升30.5%~446.3%、5.3%~201.1%、70.3%~316.7%和71.0%~177.2%.显然,升高灌溉水的pH值有利于降低湘晚籼12号(常规稻)糙米中的Cd含量,但不利于降低威优46号(杂交稻)糙米中的Cd含量.     

黄土丘陵区3种典型天然草地群落土壤呼吸对模拟降雨的响应

土壤呼吸是影响陆地生态系统碳循环的关键生态学过程之一,降雨是土壤呼吸变化的重要驱动因子.为探明黄土丘陵区退耕草地群落土壤呼吸对降雨的短期响应规律,选择白羊草(Bothriochloa ischaemum)、达乌里胡枝子(Lespedeza davurica)、铁杆蒿(Artemisia gmelinii)为优势种的3种草地群落为研究对象,于2014年6月和7月,以未降雨群落为对照,对比测定了2种模拟降雨量(15 mm和50 mm)下连续8 d的土壤呼吸速率及土壤水分和土壤温度等.结果表明:2种模拟降雨量对3种草地群落土壤温度和土壤含水量均具有显著影响(p0.05).50 mm降雨下群落土壤呼吸速率增加量高于15 mm降雨.3种群落土壤呼吸对降雨的响应程度存在明显差异,其中,土壤呼吸速率峰值高低顺序为:白羊草(1.75 g·m~(-2)·h~(-1))铁杆蒿(1.69 g·m~(-2)·h~(-1))达乌里胡枝子(1.12 g·m~(-2)·h~(-1)).0~10 cm土壤含水量与土壤呼吸速率呈显著对数函数关系.3种群落土壤呼吸温度敏感性系数Q_(10)值变化范围是1.31~2.01,且月份和降雨量处理间均存在差异.研究表明,准确评估降雨格局改变背景下退耕草地生态系统碳收支需考虑群落类型的差异.     

艾比湖湿地土地利用/覆被-景观格局和气候变化的生态环境效应研究

借助Arc GIS与ENVI软件,以1998年、2006年和2014年遥感影像Landsat TM/OLI为数据源,得到3期艾比湖湿地自然保护区土地利用/覆被类型图.在空间尺度上将研究区分为3个特定研究单元来分析土地利用/覆被变化特征,并从景观格局和气候变化两个方面来进行生态环境效应研究.通过计算土地利用/覆被类型生态风险指数,从而获得研究区生态安全指数,最终建立艾比湖湿地自然保护区土地利用/覆被类型与生态环境之间的数量关系,并对整体及局部地区进行生态环境质量动态分析.结果表明,水域和其他(裸地和戈壁)是研究区内的优势景观类型.水域的平均斑块面积最大,水域和其他(裸地和戈壁)的最大斑块指数较高,盐碱地和其他(裸地和戈壁)的分维度指数较高,水域和其他(裸地和戈壁)的聚集度指数较大,林草地空间分布离散,破碎化程度高,连通性差.1998—2014年期间多样性指数增加,说明各景观类型所占比例趋于均衡化,作为优势景观类型的湿地对整个景观的控制作用减小,景观异质性增加.1998—2014年间,艾比湖湿地自然保护区总体生态环境指数呈逐步升高趋势,但生态环境质量的改善与恶化同时存在,并在特定研究单元上出现明显的区域分异特征.盐碱地、其他(裸地和戈壁)向湿地及荒漠向其他(裸地和戈壁)的转化是环境改善的主导因素.湿地向水域和其他(裸地和戈壁)的转变是环境恶化的主导因素.据1998—2014年的气象资料,降水量呈下降趋势,降水减少使植物存活率降低,导致植被覆盖率下降,从而影响生态环境的健康发展.另外,在分析驱动机制的基础上,建立了优选多元线性回归方程,结果表明,在景观指数和年径流量中,艾比湖湿地自然保护区生态环境指数的变化与平均斑块面积和分维度指数均呈显著相关.该研究对艾比湖湿地自然保护区土地利用合理规划管理、生态恢复和经济发展政策的制定有着非常重要的意义.     

Are soil conservation technologies “win‐win?” A case study of Anjeni in the north‐western Ethiopian highlands

This study measures the impact of fanya juu terraces on the net value of crop income in a high‐rainfall area in the Ethiopian highlands using cross‐sectional multiple plot observations. Using propensity score matching methods we find that the net value of crop income for plots with fanya juu terraces is lower than for plots without fanya juu terraces. This finding makes it difficult to avoid concluding that while the technologies might reduce soil erosion and associated off‐site effects, they do so at the expense of poor farmers in the Ethiopian highlands. Therefore, fanya juu terraces cannot be characterized as a “win‐win” measure to reduce soil erosion. New agricultural technologies need to be profitable to the farmer if they are to be adopted and sustained.     

Ecological niche modeling of customary medicinal plant species used by Australian Aborigines to identify species-rich and culturally valuable areas for conservation

Customary medicinal plant species used by Australian Aborigines are disappearing rapidly with its associated knowledge, due to the loss of habitats. Conservation and protection of these species is important as they represent sources of novel therapeutic phytochemical compounds and are culturally valuable. Information on the spatial distribution and use of customary medicinal plants is often inadequate and fragmented, posing limitations on the identification and conservation of species-rich areas and culturally valuable habitats.In this study, the habitat suitability modeling program, MaxEnt, was used to predict the potential ecological niches of 431 customary medicinal plant species, based on bioclimatic variables. Specimen locality records were obtained from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) data portal and from Australia's Virtual Herbarium (AVH).Ecological niche models of 414 predicted species, which had 30 or more occurrence points, were used to produce maps indicating areas that were ecologically suitable for multiple species (concordance of high predicted ecological suitability) and having cultural values. For the concordance map, individual species niche models were thresholded and summed. To derive a map of culturally valuable areas, customary medicinal uses from Customary Medicinal Knowledgebase (CMKb) (www.biolinfo.org/cmkb) were used to weight individual species models, resulting in a value within each grid cell reflecting its cultural worth.Even though the available information is scarce and fragmented, our approach provides an opportunity to infer areas predicted to be suitable for multiple species (i.e. concordance hotspots) and to estimate the cultural value of a particular geographical area. Our results also indicate that to conserve bio-cultural diversity, comprehensive information and active participation of Aboriginal communities is indispensable.     

鼎湖山南亚热带森林生态系统服务价值动态

以鼎湖山3个南亚热带森林演替典型阶段生态系统为对象,采用我国《森林生态系统服务功能评估规范》（LY/T 1721—2008）标准化计算公式与服务价格,量化揭示南亚热带森林生态系统演替过程中生态系统服务功能价值动态。结果表明：随着演替的进行,南亚热带森林生态系统服务功能总价值不断增大;但各分项服务功能价值则表现出不同的动态规律与变化幅度,从而使得森林生态系统服务结构呈现非线性演化特征。在南亚热带森林生态系统演替的早期阶段,生态系统服务价值的最大组分是涵养水源的功能价值,而中、后期则是保育土壤。人工林营造可以有效增强区域生态系统的水源涵养能力,而保育演替中、后期森林则对于大气CO2收和土壤保育而言尤为重要。     

遥感法与高怠速法尾气排放状况对照检测试验研究

募集100辆点燃式发动机在用汽车进行遥感法和高怠速法尾气排放对照检测试验。结果表明,多数车辆CO遥测值比高怠速值大,HC则相反。通过对高怠速值(y)与遥测值(x)进行回归分析,得到CO的回归方程为y=0.81x+453.03,t检验显示方程具有线性(α=0.10)。如果将两种方法配合使用,可以有效提高机动车尾气排放日常管理的效果。     

SVD法在广西秋冬季旱涝分析中的应用

应用奇异值分解(SVD)方法,分析了500hPa高度场在广西秋季和冬季旱涝年的气候差异,分析结果表明:冬季前期500hPa高度场SVD分解的第一模态收敛速度比秋季快,但两个季度第一、第二奇异向量的累积方差都在60%以上,可见两个季度第一、第二奇异向量对应的SVD模态是最主要的SVD模态,代表了两要素场相互作用的主要特征。     

黄河口表层沉积物中重金属的环境地球化学特征

为了探讨多重环境因素变化下黄河口沉积物中重金属的环境地球化学行为,研究了2011年7～8月黄河口14个表层沉积物样品中Cu、Pb、Zn、Cr、As和Hg等6种重金属的分布特征、环境影响因素及其生态风险.结果表明,黄河口表层沉积物中6种重金属平均含量分别为Cu:(16.5±2.7)mg.kg-1,Pb:(16.0±3.4)mg.kg-1,Zn:(21.0±3.3)mg.kg-1,Cr:(17.4±3.1)mg.kg-1,As:(6.5±1.2)mg.kg-1,Hg:(0.044 4±0.030 7)mg.kg-1.与我国近海其它区域比较,研究区域重金属含量均处于较低水平.表层沉积物中河口南侧沉积物中重金属含量比北侧高,并随河口向外沉积物中重金属含量逐渐降低,此分布趋势在莱州湾西南部尤为明显.重金属间无显著相关关系,重金属含量与细颗粒物、总有机碳(total organic carbon,TOC)之间亦无显著相关关系,表明黄河口表层沉积物中重金属受到汛期黄河上游复杂来源的影响,且粒度、TOC皆非主控因素;TOC与黏土的相关系数达0.724(P<0.05),显示TOC更易富集于黏土中.与多种背景值及一致性沉积物质量基准比较,黄河口部分站位Pb含量超出背景值,但该含量水平引发有害生物效应的可能性不大,尽管重金属含量偏低,生态风险较小,但近年来Hg、Pb的风险有升高的趋势.     

Predicting Bird Species Distributions in Reconstructed Landscapes

Abstract:  Landscape optimization for biodiversity requires prediction of species distributions under alternative revegetation scenarios. We used Bayesian model averaging with logistic regression to predict probabilities of occurrence for 61 species of birds within highly fragmented box–ironbark forests of central Victoria, Australia. We used topographic, edaphic, and climatic variables as predictors so that the models could be applied to areas where vegetation has been cleared but may be replanted. Models were evaluated with newly acquired, independent data collected in large blocks of remnant native vegetation. Successful predictions were obtained for 18 of 45 woodland species (40%). Model averaging produced more accurate predictions than "single best" models. Models were most successful for smaller-bodied species that probably depend on particular vegetation types. Predictions for larger, generalist species, and seasonal migrants were less successful, partly because of changes in species distributions between model building (1995–1997) and validation (2004–2005) surveys. We used validated models to project occurrence probabilities for individual species across a 12,000-km² region, assuming native vegetation was present. These predictions are intended to be used as inputs, along with landscape context and temporal dynamics, into optimization algorithms to prioritize revegetation. Longer-term data sets to accommodate temporal dynamics are needed to improve the predictive accuracy of models.
