Anthropogenic threats to evolutionary heritage of angiosperms in the Netherlands through an increase in high-competition environments

Present biodiversity comprises the evolutionary heritage of Earth's epochs. Lineages from particular epochs are often found in particular habitats, but whether current habitat decline threatens the heritage from particular epochs is unknown. We hypothesized that within a given region, humans threaten specifically habitats that harbor lineages from a particular geological epoch. We expect so because humans threaten environments that dominated and lineages that diversified during these epochs. We devised a new approach to quantify, per habitat type, diversification of lineages from different epochs. For Netherlands, one of the floristically and ecologically best-studied regions, we quantified the decline of habitat types and species in the past century. We defined habitat types based on vegetation classification and used existing ranking of decline of vegetation classes and species. Currently, most declining habitat types and the group of red-listed species are characterized by increased diversification of lineages dating back to Paleogene, specifically to Paleocene-Eocene and Oligocene. Among vulnerable habitat types with large representation of lineages from these epochs were sublittoral and eulittoral zones of temperate seas and 2 types of nutrient-poor, open habitats. These losses of evolutionary heritage would go unnoticed with classical measures of evolutionary diversity. Loss of heritage from Paleocene-Eocene became unrelated to decline once low competition, shade tolerance, and low proportion of non-Apiaceae were accounted for, suggesting that these variables explain the loss of heritage from Paleocene-Eocene. Losses of heritage from Oligocene were partly explained by decline of habitat types occupied by weak competitors and shade-tolerant species. Our results suggest a so-far unappreciated human threat to evolutionary heritage: habitat decline threatens descendants from particular epochs. If the trends persist into the future uncontrolled, there may be no habitats within the region for many descendants of evolutionary ancient epochs, such as Paleogene.     

水稻耐低磷特性研究

选取3个耐低磷水稻基因型99011、580、99112和1个磷敏感基因型99056为供试材料，采用营养液和石英砂培养的方法，研究了与磷效率相关的一些指标．结果表明，99011和580均具有较高的磷吸收效率和利用效率，其中根长是99011高效吸收的重要贡献因子，其次它对难溶性磷有一定的活化吸收能力；580不仅对难溶性磷的活化吸收能力最强，而且善于从低浓度的磷环境中吸收较多的磷；而99112主要靠被动适应生态环境来表现它的耐低磷特性，与磷吸收效率相关的次级因子表现不佳，是99056对低磷反应敏感的主要原因．图3表4参16

Did you say reference conditions? Ecological and socio-economic perspectives on the European Water Framework Directive

Reference conditions are a key concept in the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The WFD stipulates that the ecological status of a given water body shall be assessed by quantifying the deviation from a set of reference conditions that represent the stable state of an ecosystem in the absence of significant human disturbance. This concept is subject to criticism from several authors, particularly because underlying ecological concepts are weak and the distinction between natural variability and the effects of anthropogenic activities on ecosystem function will become increasingly artificial. In this paper, a sociologist and an aquatic ecologist examine the origin, successes and limits of the reference conditions concept and raise important questions about applying this concept in practice. We argue that this concept fitted specific needs from different institutions and stakeholders which promoted the WFD. Monitoring practices using this concept require some adaptations. Setting goals for restoration based on reference conditions is more problematic. A more adaptive management approach would be wiser.     

非生物胁迫诱导青蒿素生物合成基因的表达

对离体培养青蒿试管苗中3个青蒿素合成相关基因的非生物胁迫诱导表达模式进行了初步研究.半定量RT-PCR测定结果表明,当暴露于冷、热和紫外光后,青篙植株的紫穗槐-4,11-二烯合酶基因(ADS)和细胞色素P450单加氧酶基因(CYP71AV1)转录上调;相反,在未经胁迫处理的情况下,ADS和CYP71AV1基因的表达水平较低,而在胁迫处理前后细胞色素P450还原酶基因(CPR)转录所产生的mRNA均保持恒定.同时,冷胁迫的诱导效果也得到实时荧光定量RT-PCR测定数据的支持.经低温锻炼的青蒿试管苗,其ADS和CYP71AV1基因的转录产物拷贝数比对照分别提高11倍和7倍,而CPR基因的mRNA拷贝数与对照基本持平.短暂预冷处理还可显著提高青蒿试管苗的青蒿素含量,达到7.5～8.8 mg/g干重,比对照提高66.7%～95.6%,为进一步探索利用环境胁迫促进青蒿素高产的新途径提供了可能性.图2表3参21     

长江三角洲冬季一次低能见度过程的地区差异和气象条件

采用NCEP再分析资料、MICAPS地面、高空气象资料以及国家环保部空气质量监测资料,对2014年2月20~22日长江三角洲地区一次低能见度过程地区差异和气象条件进行了分析.天气形势分析表明,长三角地面处在高压的控制下,地面风速较小,使污染物积累,有利于低能见度(雾-霾)的形成和维持.根据不同区域的雾、霾分布和日变化特征,将长江三角洲地区分为3个子区域:I区为江苏大部(雾霾混合型),II区为上海及其周边(霾类型),III区为浙江大部(雾类型),该区域白天能见度较高,夜间能见度较低的特征是由湿度因子造成的.影响I区能见度变化的主要原因是:热力原因:大气对流层低层的层结稳定;湿度原因为:空气较湿润,气溶胶粒子吸湿性增长;动力原因主要是垂直方向和水平方向的大气扩散能力弱;污染因子对能见度变化的影响较小.影响II区能见度变化的主要原因是PM2.5浓度高导致的污染,热力因子、湿度因子和动力因子对能见度的变化影响很小.影响III区能见度变化的热力原因是:大气对流层低层层结稳定、近地面存在逆温;湿度原因是因为:空气较湿润,气溶胶粒子吸湿性增长;动力原因是因为边界层高度较低导致的垂直扩散能力较差.各个区域的气象因子解释方差的计算结果表明:I区湿度因子和动力因子对能见度的影响更大,III区.湿度因子对能见度的影响更大.     

Variable impact of rice (Oryza sativa) on soil metal reduction and availability of pore water Fe2+ and Mn2+ throughout the growth period

Flooding of wetland or agricultural soils can result in substantial alteration of the pore water trace metal profiles and potentially also influence the bioavailability of other trace elements adsorbed to the insoluble oxides. Experimental microcosms were used to quantify the impact of rice (Oryza sativa) plants across an entire growing cycle on the concentrations of Mn²⁺ and Fe²⁺ in two soil types (red sodosol and grey vertosol). Two water management treatments were included: a standard flooded treatment and a saturated treatment (?3?kPa). Soil pore water profiles were established from samples collected at four sampling depths (2.5, 7.5, 15 and 25?cm) on 50 occasions. Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺ concentrations were higher in flooded soil than in saturated soil and greatest at a depth of 7.5?cm. The presence of rice plants increased Mn²⁺ concentrations in flooded soils, but tended to decrease Mn²⁺ concentrations in saturated soils. The influence of rice plants on Fe²⁺ concentrations was greatest at a depth of 7.5?cm. Changes in soil pore water Fe²⁺ and Mn²⁺ concentrations due to the presence of rice plants were correlated with flowering and reproduction.
