Growth and nutrient accumulation of Phragmites australis in relation to water level variation and nutrient loadings in a shallow lake

Shallow lake eutrophication is a global environmental issue. This study investigated the effects of water level variation and nutrient loadings on the growth and nutrient accumulation of Phragmites australis (reed) by field samplings in Baiyangdian Lake, the largest shallow lake of northern China. The field samplings were conducted in two sites of different nutrient loadings during the whole growth period of reeds, and three types of zones with different water depths were chosen for each site, including the terrestrial zone with water level below the ground, the ecotone zone with the water level varying from belowground to aboveground, and the submerged zone with water level above the ground. The result showed that reed growth was more limited by water level variation than nutrient loadings. The average stem lengths and diameters in terrestrial zones were about 26.3%-27.5% and 7.2%-12.0% higher than those in submerged zones, respectively. Similarly, the terrestrial status increased the aboveground biomass of reeds by 36.6%-51.8% compared with the submerged status. Both the nutrient concentrations and storages in the aboveground reeds were mainly influenced by the nutrient loadings in surface water and sediment rather than the water level variation of the reed growth environment, and the nutrient storages reached their maxima in late August or early September. It was observed that the maximum nitrogen storage occurred in the terrestrial zone with higher nutrient loadings, with the value of 74.5 g/m 2 . This study suggested that water level variation and nutrient loadings should be considered when using reeds to control and remediate eutrophication of shallow lakes.     

浙江省人地关系变化阶段特征及调整策略

经济快速发展地区工业化和城市化的加速发展对耕地的占用使这些地区的人地关系日趋紧张。从发展的角度看。若缺乏科学的人口再生产与土地调控机制。人地关系矛盾将直接制约这些区域经济的可持续发展。本文在翔实的历史资料基础上。通过对浙江省人地关系阶段变化特征的分析。认为浙江省人地关系紧张的状况有着历史延续性。接着分析了浙江省现代人地关系矛盾的焦点在于不断减少的耕地问题。探讨了经济发展与耕地变动的内在联系。认为只有遏制耕地减少的态势才能缓解浙江省人地关系日趋紧张的局面。同时对浙江省未来人地关系发展的态势进行了预测，佐证了如果不采取积极的应对措施。未来人地关系将日益恶化。最后。提出了浙江省人地关系的调整策略。试图为经济快速发展且人地关系紧张地区的土地利用管理提供一种新的路径选择。     

丹江口库区小流域土壤磁化率变异特征及影响因素研究

土壤磁化率是表征土壤侵蚀特征的重要指标。本文以丹江口库区五龙池流域土壤为研究对象,沿坡位选取18个条带共采集85个表层(0～10 cm)土壤样品,通过对不同土地利用类型及景观位置的土壤磁化率分析以及与粒度关联分析,揭示小流域土壤磁化率变异特征并评估其影响因素。结果表明:1)土壤质量磁化率、频率磁化率平均含量分别为34. 4×10-8m3/kg、9. 69%,二者均呈中等的空间自相关,其值分别为0. 59、0. 51; 2)不同土地利用类型中,土壤磁化率差异显著,其中质量磁化率为坡耕地梯田灌木林地用材林地;频率磁化率为坡耕地梯田用材林地灌木林地;不同景观位置上,土壤磁化率坡顶最低,中部最高,坡底居中; 3)土壤磁化率与黏粒、粉粒含量存在显著正相关关系,与砂粒含量呈显著负相关关系。研究结果为间接监测流域土壤迁移与环境演变过程提供了依据,增加对流域内生源元素伴随土壤侵蚀迁移的演变历史和过程的理解,对于保护库区水环境和生态安全有重要意义。     

Signal variation and call preferences for whine frequency in the túngara frog, Physalaemus pustulosus

Properties of sexual signals can differ in the amount of within-male variability. In several species of anurans, females exert stabilizing or weakly directional preferences on less variable call properties, and highly directional preferences on more variable ones. Preferences of female túngara frogs, Physalaemus pustulosus, were examined for two call characteristics: a less variable spectral character, dominant frequency of the whine, and a more variable temporal character, inter-call interval. Eight phonotaxis experiments using synthetic calls were conducted with gravid females. Stimuli presented for both characters were based on the mean and standard deviation (SD) of those characters in the study population. For each character, we used four intervals of variation (1, 2, 3, and 4 SD) between stimuli in four different experiments. As has been found in some other anuran species, preference was stronger for the more variable temporal character, increasing in proportion to the difference between stimuli. Preference for the less variable spectral character was not significant until the difference between stimuli was substantial. The strength of female preference, estimated as latency to choose, the number of speakers visited, and the number of females showing phonotaxis, increased in proportion to the increase in the difference between stimuli. All these measures of strength of preference were greater in response to the more variable temporal character compared to responses to the less variable spectral character.

Comparative analysis of tolerance to pesticides in annelids

The tolerance of annelids (11 oligochaete and 13 leech species) to several organophosphate pesticides, polychloropinene, phenol, and copper sulfate was compared in an acute experiment. The dependence of pesticide resistance on specific biological and ecological features of the annelid species and their position in the phylogenetic series is discussed.     

Seasonal variation in paediatric blood lead levels in Syracuse,NY, USA

Venous blood lead values for 2,633 children aged 0–4 years in Syracuse, New York, collected between 1 April 1992 and 31 March 1993 were summarised by census tract for study of geographic variability. A demographic exposure model is presented showing housing stock and SES (socioeconomic status) parameters as the most significant predictor variables. A seasonal trend in blood lead levels was observed with late summer values about 40% higher than late winter values for census tracts with the highest geometric mean PbB levels. Seasonal variation is compared with a biokinetic uptake model to examine hypotheses about temporal variations in soil and dust lead exposure patterns.
