根分泌物与微生物对污染土壤重金属活性的影响

研究了铜富集植物海州香薷(Elsholtziasplendens)和鸭跖草(Commelinacommunis)根分泌物,以及假单胞菌(P.aeruginosaZD4-3)和白腐真菌(P.Chrysosprim)对污染土壤重金属活性的影响.结果表明,海州香薷和鸭跖草根分泌物对污染土壤中Cu有一定的活化能力,不同处理间差异不大,鸭跖草根分泌物对Cu的活化能力大于海州香薷.不同处理根分泌物中有机酸种类或含量有所差异,但主要以草酸和出峰时间为6.5min左右的未知有机酸为主.假单胞菌对污染土壤Cu、Pb和Zn有很强的活化作用;白腐真菌对Cu、Zn有活化作用,对Pb则表现为固定作用,海州香薷根分泌物降低了供试假单胞菌对重金属的活化效果,但增加了白腐真菌对重金属的活化效果.     

Predicting Root Density in Streambanks1

Abstract: Roots of riparian vegetation increase streambank erosion resistance and structural stability; therefore, knowledge of root density and distribution in streambanks is useful for stream management and restoration. The objective of this study was to compare streambank root distributions for herbaceous and woody vegetation and to develop empirical models to predict root density. Root length density, root volume ratio, soil physical and chemical properties, and above‐ground vegetation densities were measured at 25 sites on six streams in southwestern Virginia. The Mann‐Whitney test was used to determine differences in root density along stream segments dominated by either woody or herbaceous vegetation. Multiple linear regression was used to develop relationships between root density and site characteristics. Study results showed that roots were evenly distributed across the bank face with the majority of roots having diameters less than 2 mm. Soil bulk density and above‐ground vegetation were key factors influencing root density. While significant relationships were developed to predict root density, the predictive capabilities of the equations was low. Because of the highly variable nature of soil and vegetation properties, it is recommended at this time that soil erodibility and root density be measured in the field for design and modeling purposes, rather than estimated based on empirical relationships.     

垃圾渗滤液对蚕豆根尖细胞微核效应的研究

利用蚕豆根尖细胞微核测定技术对垃圾渗滤液的微核效应进行了监测．结果表明,填埋场垃圾的微核率为１２．７０×１０－３ ,渗滤液的微核率为（１６ ．７６ ～２９．５）×１０ －３ ．垃圾场底部０～１０ ｃｍ 处的土层已被污染,微核率为１５．３８ ×１０－３ ,与ＣＫ有显著性差异;而３０ ～４０ ｃｍ 处土层的微核率为７ ．６５ ×１０－３ ,与ＣＫ无显著性差异,提示该处土层对垃圾渗滤液中污染物向下迁移有拦截、净化作用．经过处理后的渗滤液的微核率明显降低．蚕豆根尖微核检测结果与化学分析结果相吻合,认为此法可用于对垃圾渗滤液污染状况进行生物监测．

不同植物下湿地土壤磷状况与植物脱磷效应

生态湿地作为一种新型污水处理系统日益受到人们的重视。文章以镇江北固山湿地为研究对象,研究了不同植物下土壤总磷的变化、速效磷变化、植物根构型以及不同植物脱磷的能力。结果表明,该湿地的土壤具有较好的同源性。芦苇由于每年收割,致使它的土壤总磷含量低。虉草的根系发达,植株含磷量大,总生物量大,因此,它的脱磷能力强。这些结论为湿地的修复和重建提供了理论依据。     

陕西五曲湾滑坡发育特征和~(14)C测龄

在陕西省凤翔县五曲湾滑坡的滑带土中发现一段树根,表面被炭化,并且发生了强烈的剪切变形,分析认为此乃滑坡滑动所致。经过14C测龄,年龄为462±45年B.P,这一年龄与地质分析获取的认识基本吻合,与1556年"华县大地震"发生的年份非常接近,从而为研究五曲湾滑坡的触发机制提供了重要依据。最后提出,如果在滑带土中发现可用于定年的样品,采用14C法测定滑坡年龄,是对滑坡进行定年的有效途径。

Changes in groundwater levels and the response of natural vegetation to transfer of water to the lower reaches of the Tarim River

Restoration and reconstruction of the degraded Tarim River ecosystem is an important challenge.A goal of an ecological water conveyance project is to protect and restore the natural vegetation in the lower reaches of Tarim River by transferring water from Bosten Lake,through the river channel,to the lower reaches.This study describes the changes in groundwater depth during the water transfer and the respondence of riparian vegetation to alterations in groundwater levels.The results indicate that groundwater depth along the Tarim River channel has a significant spatial-temporal component.Groundwater levels closest to the river channel show the most immediate and pronounced changes as a response to water transfer while those further away respond more slowly,although the observed change appears to be longer in duration.With a rise in the groundwater level,natural vegetation responded with higher growth rates,biomass and biodiversity.These favorable changes show that it is feasible to protect and restore the degraded natural vegetation by raising the groundwater depth.Plant communities are likely to reflect the hysteresis phenomenon,requiring higher water levels to initiate and stimulate desired growth than what may be needed to maintain the plant community.Because different species have different ecologies,including different root depths and densities and water needs,their response to increasing water availability will be spatially and temporally heterogenous.The response of vegetation is also influenced by microtopography and watering style.This paper discusses strategies for the protection and restoration of the degraded vegetation in the lower reaches of the Tarim River and provides information to complement ongoing theoretical research into ecological restoration in arid or semi-arid ecosystems.     

Did certain chemoreceptors for host plant stimuli in the cabbage root fly evolve as pheromone receptors?

Summary. The cabbage root fly possesses highly specialised and extremely sensitive receptors for “CIF”, a group of compounds present on cabbage leaves in very small amounts, and the strongest oviposition stimulants known. Here we present evidence that the same receptors are sensitive to a methanol extract of cabbage root fly eggs, which may contain the fly's host marking pheromone. Based on these results, the possible role of CIF in cabbage root fly behaviour and in cabbage plants is discussed. Received 4 April 2001; accepted 24 September 2001.
