土壤生态系统中黑碳研究的几个关键问题

因人类活动的影响,全球大气C02浓度自1750年以来呈现逐步上升的趋势。农业生产活动与气候变化紧密相关,因土地利用方式的改变以及高度集约化的粮食、食物生产等农业活动都有可能增加CO2等温室气体的排放。如何遏制和减少大气中的CO2浓度是当前的热点问题,黑碳这一物质形式有可能为这一问题的缓解或解决提供新途径。生物质黑碳是生物质材料在低氧或无氧状态下经热裂解而形成的一种富含碳元素的有机连续体,其中碳（C）元素的含量高达70％-80％,并且大多以稳定的芳香环形式而存在。人类生存环境中所形成黑碳的80％以上最终都要归于土壤,且由于其较强的抗分解能力而长期滞留于土壤环境中。利用黑碳的这些特性及其碳封存能力,实施积极而有效的土壤管理措施,有可能增加土壤生态系统中的碳储存,从而为人类社会应对全球气候变化提供新的机遇。在文献资料调研的基础上,描述了土壤中黑碳的来源及其增加土壤碳储存、减缓陆地生态系统碳循环的潜力;阐释了量化土壤中黑碳的重要性以及精确测定土壤黑碳含量的关键所在;揭示了黑碳在土壤环境中的稳定性,探讨了外源黑碳与土壤本体有机碳的相互作用关系,并分析了黑碳对土壤温室气体排放的影响及其不确定性。揭示这些问题有助于客观评价黑碳能否作为一个有效的土壤有机碳库,也益于明确黑碳在全球碳循环以及中国农业减排过程中的作用与地位。     

滦河流域不同土地利用类型土壤微生物量C、TN、TP垂直分异规律及其影响因子研究

根据2009年4月份在滦河流域采集的25个土壤样点的数据资料,对不同土地利用类型土壤微生物量C、TN、TP质量分数特征、垂直分异规律、表聚性及与影响因子进行研究。结果表明：土壤微生物量C、TN、TP在土壤表层（0～10cm）的平均表聚系数分别为0.22、0.19和0.14,并且河滩地、林草地的土壤微生物量C、TN质量分数明显高于水稻田和旱田土壤,而农田系统土壤中TP质量分数相对占优。土壤微生物C、TN、TP的剖面分布均表现出从表层向下减少的总趋势,并以40cm为界,不同土地利用类型土壤、同层观测值的显著性差异有所不同。土壤微生物量C、TN与土壤含水率呈极显著正相关（P〈0.01）,与粉粒呈显著正相关（P〈0.05）,与土壤容重呈极显著负相关,与气温、降水量呈负相关。TP与气温、降水量呈极显著正相关,与容重负相关,与其它因子没有明显相关关系。     

“哨兵-2”卫星影像及C2RCC算法在太湖冬春季水色分析中的应用

利用太湖2019—2022年冬春季“哨兵-2”卫星10 m分辨率的MSI影像和SNAP软件C2RCC (Case 2 RegionalCoastColour)模块,以适合浑浊、富营养程度较高、光学复杂的“二类水体”的C2X-nets为模式,开展太湖叶绿素a、总悬浮物浓度、透明度等水色参数反演。结果表明:冬春季太湖各湖区叶绿素a浓度处于较低水平,但4月中旬起有明显抬升;太湖西部沿岸区、南部沿岸区和湖心区总悬浮物浓度较高,表明这些湖区易受风浪影响,造成沉积物再悬浮;太湖东部沿岸区、北部湖湾及东太湖遥感反演的水体清澈度较高,可能与这些湖区冬春季沉水植物菹草的分布有关,菹草生长对水质有较好的净化效果。总体来看,基于C2X-nets模式的C2RCC反演算法从较高分辨率卫星遥感影像中提取的水色信息,能有效反映太湖冬春季水色指标的空间分布特征,可为湖体生态状况及动态变化的长期监测评估提供有价值的参考。     

Hepatic and immune biological effect assays in C57BL/6 mice to measure polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon bioavailability under laboratory exposures with increasing environmental relevance

Background Monitoring biological responses that are mediated via the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) in animals exposed to environmental contaminants can indicate both the presence to chemicals that act through this biochemical pathway and whether these chemicals are bioavailable. Objectives The use of an ex-situ method that incorporated biological responsiveness monitoring in mice for determining the presence of ‘biologically active’ hydrocarbons in contaminated soils was investigated. Methods The use of C57BL/6 as a test organism was validated by determining hepatic and immune responsiveness to two polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): 3,4 benz[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and 1,2 benz (a)anthracene (BA) administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. The responsiveness of mice exposed to soils spiked with hydrocarbons or ex situ exposures to soil removed from two contaminated sites was also investigated. Results and Discussion Mice that were exposed to B[a]P via i.p. injections showed a 14-fold increase in liver microsomal ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity compared to the control group. In contrast EROD activity following BA exposure at the same level was not significantly enhanced. Mouse immune response was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by i.p. injections of B[a]P. No significant inhibition occurred with the same doses of BA. Following i.p. exposure, the retention of B[a]P in mouse carcasses was greater than BA. Mice exposed to clean soils spiked with environmentally relevant concentrations of B[a]P and BA failed to show any significantly different hepatic or immune responses. Carcass residue data indicated a limited uptake of PAH from the soil. In contrast, EROD activity in mice exposed (ex situ) to hydrocarbon-contaminated soils removed from a fuel-loading depot and decommissioned gas works was significantly enhanced (4- and 2-fold respectively). However, this increase in EROD activity did not appear to correlate with either soil or carcass PAH concentrations. Conclusions and Outlook These results support the assumption that B[a]P has a higher affinity for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) compared to BA. Soil parameters such as organic carbon content, structure and particle size distribution can modulate the bioavailability of contaminants to biological receptors. These factors are implicated in the lack of responsiveness demonstrated in the spiked soil experiments. However the responsiveness of EROD activity in mice exposed (ex situ) to soil contaminated with complex mixtures of hydrocarbon compounds confirms the potential usefulness of this model to determine the presence of ‘biologically active’ compounds in aged soils removed from contaminated sites.

Toward an integrative molecular approach to wildlife disease

Pathogens pose serious threats to human health, agricultural investment, and biodiversity conservation through the emergence of zoonoses, spillover to domestic livestock, and epizootic outbreaks. As such, wildlife managers are often tasked with mitigating the negative effects of disease. Yet, parasites form a major component of biodiversity that often persist. This is due to logistical challenges of implementing management strategies and to insufficient understanding of host–parasite dynamics. We advocate for an inclusive understanding of molecular diversity in driving parasite infection and variable host disease states in wildlife systems. More specifically, we examine the roles of genetic, epigenetic, and commensal microbial variation in disease pathogenesis. These include mechanisms underlying parasite virulence and host resistance and tolerance, and the development, regulation, and parasite subversion of immune pathways, among other processes. Case studies of devil facial tumor disease in Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) and chytridiomycosis in globally distributed amphibians exemplify the broad range of questions that can be addressed by examining different facets of molecular diversity. For particularly complex systems, integrative molecular analyses present a promising frontier that can provide critical insights necessary to elucidate disease dynamics operating across scales. These insights enable more accurate risk assessment, reconstruction of transmission pathways, discernment of optimal intervention strategies, and development of more effective and ecologically sound treatments that minimize damage to the host population and environment. Such measures are crucial when mitigating threats posed by wildlife disease to humans, domestic animals, and species of conservation concern.
