Nickel accumulation and its effect on biomass, protein content and antioxidative enzymes in roots and leaves of watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.)

In order to understand its response towards nickel stress,watercress(Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) was exposed to nickel(1-25 mg/L) for 1,3,5 and 7 days.The accumulation and translocation of nickel were determined and the influence of nickel on biomass,protein content and enzymatic antioxidants was examined for both roots and leaves.It was determined that N.officinale could accumulate appreciable amounts of Ni in both roots and leaves.Nickel accumulated particularly in the roots of plants.Biomass increased at low nickel concentrations but certain measurable change was not found at high concentrations.Under stress conditions the antioxidant enzymes were up-regulated compared to control.An increase in protein content and enzyme activities was observed at moderate exposure conditions followed by a decline at both roots and leaves.The maximum enzyme activities were observed at different exposure conditions.Our results showed that N.officinale had the capacity to overcome nickel-induced stress especially at moderate nickel exposure.Therefore,N.officinale may be used as a phytoremediator in moderately polluted aquatic ecosystems.     

Nickel accumulation and its effect on biomass, protein content and antioxidative enzymes in roots and leaves of watercress （Nasturtium officinale R. Br.）

In order to understand its response towards nickel stress, watercress (Nasturtium o cinale R. Br.) was exposed to nickel (1–25 mg/L) for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. The accumulation and translocation of nickel were determined and the influence of nickel on biomass, protein content and enzymatic antioxidants was examined for both roots and leaves. It was determined that N. o cinale could accumulate appreciable amounts of Ni in both roots and leaves. Nickel accumulated particularly in the roots of plants. Biomass increased at low nickel concentrations but certain measurable change was not found at high concentrations. Under stress conditions the antioxidant enzymes were up-regulated compared to control. An increase in protein content and enzyme activities was observed at moderate exposure conditions followed by a decline at both roots and leaves. The maximum enzyme activities were observed at di erent exposure conditions. Our results showed that N. o cinale had the capacity to overcome nickel-induced stress especially at moderate nickel exposure. Therefore, N. o cinale may be used as a phytoremediator in moderately polluted aquatic ecosystems.     

山东威海-日照近岸海域浮游细菌的分布特征

于2006年8月~2007年10月,分春夏秋冬四个航次对山东威海-日照近岸海域进行了现场调查,研究了该海区浮游细菌丰度、生物量及可培养异养细菌生物量的分布特征,探讨了它们与温度、溶解氧、总有机碳、总N、总P和活性磷酸盐之间的关系。结果表明:浮游细菌生物量具有一定的时间、空间分布特征,冬季浮游细菌生物量明显低于其他三个季节,近岸生物量高于远岸区域;浮游细菌丰度及生物量与温度、溶解氧、总有机碳呈非常显著相关关系(P0.01);夏冬季节可培养异养细菌数与总N、总P及PO4-P均呈现显著相关关系,表明以上三种环境生态因子可能是该海域可培养异养细菌生长的限制因子。

恩诺沙星对土壤细菌数量及微生物生物量碳的影响

为了评价兽药恩诺沙星(Enrofloxacin,ENR)对土壤微生物的影响,采用平板计数法和熏蒸浸提法研究了不同含量恩诺沙星(wENR)对土壤细菌数量和土壤微生物生物量碳(MBC)含量的影响.结果发现,添加药物组细菌数量和土壤微生物生物量碳含量均低于对照组,且药物含量越高,细菌数量和土壤微生物生物量碳含量越低;较低含量的恩诺沙星(wENR<0.1μg·g-1,细菌数量;wENR<1μg·g-1,MBC)对细菌数量和微生物生物量碳含量影响不显著(与对照组比较,p>0.05),而较高含量的恩诺沙星(wENR≥0.1μg·g-1,细菌数量;wENR≥1μg·g-1,MBC)则影响显著(与对照组比较,p<0.05).以上结果表明恩诺沙星残留可显著影响土壤细菌数量和微生物生物量碳含量,进而可能影响土壤特性和土壤的一些生态过程。     

若尔盖亚高山草甸地上生物量与植被指数关系研究

为探讨亚高山草甸地上生物量和植被指数的关系,更好服务于草地生态建设,论文利用2008年7月覆盖若尔盖地区的TM影像,分别建立了7种植被指数（NDVI、RVI、DVI、SAVI、MSAVI、PVI、GVI）与地上生物量的线性和4种非线性（二次多项式、三次多项式、对数、幂函数）回归模型。研究结果表明植被指数（NDVI、DVI、SAVI、MSAVI、PVI、GVI）与地上生物量模型表现出三次多项式回归模型最优,再次是二次多项式模型、线性模型,相对较差的是指数模型;而基于RVI的地上生物量模型表现为指数模型最优,其次为三次多项式模型、二次多项式模型、线性模型。分析表明,基于RVI的地上生物量幂函数模型的模拟效果最好,复相关系数R²=0.817 7,精度检验结果表明该模型的平均误差为6.80%,拟合精度达93.20%,根据此模型模拟出若尔盖县草地地上生物量分布图,表明该县草地生物量东南部较高而西北部较低。     

Modeling inverted biomass pyramids and refuges in ecosystems

Although the existence of robust inverted biomass pyramids (IBPs) seems paradoxical, they are well known to exist in planktonic communities, and have recently been discovered in pristine coral reefs and in a reef off the North Carolina coast. Understanding the underlying mechanisms which produce inverted biomass pyramids provides new ecological insights. Some ecologists hypothesize that “the high growth rate of prey and low death rate of predators” causes IBPs. However, we show this is not always the case (see Sections 3.1 and 4). We devise predator–prey models to describe three mechanisms that can lead to IBPs: (1) well-mixed populations with large prey turn-over rate, (2) well-mixed populations with prey immigration, and (3) non-mixed populations where the prey can hide in refuges. The three models are motivated by the three ecosystems where IBPs have been observed. We also devise three refuge mediated models, with explicit refuge size, which incorporate different prey responses in the refuge, and we discuss how these lead to IBPs.     

大气CO2浓度升高和氮肥施用对三江平原湿地小叶章生物量及根冠比的影响

利用开顶箱薰气室（open—top chamber）试验装置,研究了不施氮（NN）、施常氮（MN,5g·m^2）和施高氮（HN,15g·m^2）3个氮素水平下大气CO2浓度升高对小叶章（Calamagrostis angustifolia）生物量和根冠比的影响。结果表明,大气CO2浓度升高对小叶章生物量的影响因生长期而异。大气CO2浓度升高对小叶章地上生物量的促进作用主要表现在生长前期,拔节期和抽穗期地上生物量较正常大气CO2浓度增加12．42％～22．60％,而腊熟期和成熟期仅增加3．11％～12．97％;大气CO2浓度升高对小叶章地下生物量的促进作用在生长后期表现明显,除拔节期外,小叶章地下生物量增加17．63％～42．20％。小叶章生物量和根冠比对大气CO2浓度的响应与供N水平有关。在HN水平下,大气CO2浓度升高使小叶章生物量和根冠比明显增加,在NN条件下促进作用则不显著。小叶章根冠比明显增加主要是地下生物量显著增长引起的。     

高山草甸群落生物量在融雪梯度上的变化

在青藏高原东部的一个高山雪床,沿融雪从早到晚的顺序设置3个融雪梯度部位,并对每个梯度部位的环境因子和该部位上的地上与地下生物量进行了测量和比较.3个梯度部位间的融雪时间、土壤含水量和温度日较差有显著不同,而土壤营养成分及pH无明显变化.从早融部位到晚融部位,地上生物量增加,地下生物量降低,地上与地下总生物量降低,地下生物量与地上生物量的比值增大.与晚融部位相比,早融部位的地上生物量主要集中于地上0～10 cm范围内,表明在早融部位植物地上部分有变矮的趋势;早融部位的地下生物量在土壤各深度分布相对较均一,而晚融部位地下牛物量则主要集中于地下0～10 cm范围内.雪场中各部位的土壤水分含量及地表温度差异对生物量的变化有较大的影响.图5表2参33
