Effects of air pollution on rice yield in the Pakistan Punjab

A study using open-top chambers ventilated with ambient or charcoal filtered air in the vicinity of Lahore, Pakistan demonstrated reductions of 42% and 37% in the grain yield of two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.). This yield reduction was primarily due to the reduction in mean panicle number per plant, although significant effects of filtration on 1000 grain weight and the number of filled grains per panicle were also detected. The 6-h daily mean O(3) concentrations were only 10-20 nl litre(-1) during the monsoon season, but increased to 30-55 nl litre(-1) later in the growing season, while the mean NO(2) concentration during the experiment was 12 nl litre(-1). On the basis of experience in North America and Japan, the reductions in yield in the present study are substantially greater than might be predicted. The reasons for this discrepancy are discussed, together with the implications for effects on rice yield in other regions of south and south-east Asia.     

稻草的水热碳化研究

利用水热碳化技术,在1 000 mL的反应釜中,考察了反应温度和停留时间对于稻草水热碳化的影响。结果表明,稻草碳化得到的气相产物主要为CO2、液相产物主要为乙酸和葡萄糖。随着反应温度和停留时间的提高,CO2、乙酸的产率以及生物炭(固相产物)的能量密度呈上升趋势,而生物炭的产率则呈现相反的趋势。在低温条件下(200℃左右),可获得较高葡萄糖产率。生物炭的吸水性实验表明,在反应温度为260℃,停留时间为1 h的条件下,生物炭的产率达到稳定。扫描电镜分析结果说明,经过碳化后的稻草整体呈现碎片状态,并伴有大量蜂窝状结构。     

常温木质纤维素分解菌群的筛选与特性研究

为获得一组常温条件下加速木质纤维素腐解的菌群,利用限制性培养法,筛选到一组在室温(28℃)条件下,5 d可分解天然稻秆总重39.6%的菌群.仅用质谱仪的一个CP-Chirasil-Dex CB毛细管柱就能够检测到丙酸、乙醇、异丙酸、4-氨基-1-丁醇、丁酸、硅烷-二乙基、乳酸、乙二醇、邻苯二甲酸二乙酯、甘油等10种以上有机物.定量分析挥发性产物,发现其种类和浓度随时间变化很大.用变性梯度凝胶电泳(DGGE)检测菌群的动态变化,发现在培养不同时期菌种组成差异很大,通过对各条带近缘种网上比对结果可见,该菌群具有丰富的菌种组成多样性,菌群内微生物分别归属Clostridiumsp.、Brevibacillussp.、Rhizobiumsp.、Bacteriumsp.等4个属.     

水氮组合模式对双季稻甲烷和氧化亚氮排放的影响

为给双季稻水肥高效利用调控技术提供理论基础,设置间歇灌溉和淹水灌溉两种灌溉方式,高氮、中氮、低氮和不施氮这4种施肥方式,开展大田小区试验,探讨了水氮组合模式对双季稻CH4和N2O排放的影响.结果表明,间歇灌溉显著降低了CH4积累排放量,与淹水灌溉相比,早晚稻分别降低13.18~87.90 kg·hm-2和74.48~131.07 kg·hm-2,分别减排了24.4%~67.4%和42.5%~66.5%;但促进了N2O排放,早晚稻的增排量分别为0.03~0.24 kg·hm-2和0.35~1.53 kg·hm-2,分别比淹水灌溉增加6.2%~18.3%和40.2%~80.9%.总体上,间歇灌溉降低了稻田温室气体的增温潜势,其中早稻降低了18.8%~58.6%,晚稻降低34.4%~60.1%,两季综合降低2 388~4 151 kg·hm-2(以CO2eq计),下降41%~54%.通过相关分析发现,土壤CH4排放和土壤溶液Eh显著负相关,和溶液CH4浓度显著正相关.与淹水灌溉相比间歇灌溉模式有利于减排CH4,虽增排了N2O,但增温潜势显著减少.综合来看,间歇灌溉配施中氮更有利于双季稻种植.     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

三江平原作物收获期大气颗粒物浓度特征

通过对2013年10月东北三江平原农作物收获期大气颗粒物的在线监测,结合卫星火点数据与后向轨迹模拟,分析了秸秆燃烧和作物收割等农业活动对大气颗粒物质量浓度及粒径分布的影响.结果表明:作物收获前期?中期和后期大气PM2.5的平均质量浓度分别为36.0,158.3,33.8μg/m3;现场观测表明,水稻收割(321.1μg/m3)和秸秆燃烧(2777.1μg/m3)时监测田块内PM2.5的平均浓度分别是收割前和燃烧前平均浓度的2.5倍和11.5倍;卫星火点及后向轨迹分析发现,观测期间PM2.5与该地区卫星火点数量的变化趋势比较一致,且气团轨迹经过火点较集中区域时测得较高的PM2.5浓度值;对不同粒径(<1μm,1~2.5μm,2.5~10μm)大气颗粒物质量浓度的观测表明,收获中期受大面积秸秆燃烧的影响,0~1 μm粒径组分明显增加,而收获后期由于降水过程对0~1μm粒径颗粒物的清除效率较低,故该粒径颗粒物仍维持较高比例.     

基于16S rRNA基因测序法分析北京霾污染过程中PM2.5和PM10细菌群落特征

2013年1月8~14日,北京出现了严重的霾污染.霾污染时高浓度的大气颗粒物增加了暴露人群的健康风险,而大气中的微生物也可能带来一些风险,但目前对霾污染时大气中微生物组成了解较少.本研究选取了2013年1月8~14日北京7d的PM2.5和PM10采样样本,通过对细菌16S rRNA基因V3区扩增和Mi Seq测序,得到PM2.5和PM10中的细菌群落结构特征,并将结果与相同采样样本的宏基因组测序结果及三项国外基于16S rRNA基因测序方法的大气中细菌研究结果进行了比较.研究发现7 d连续采样条件下,PM2.5中细菌群落结构在门和属的水平上均差别不大.在属级别上,节杆菌属(Arthrobacter)和弗兰克氏菌属(Frankia)是北京冬季大气中细菌群落的主要类群.16S rRNA基因测序与宏基因组测序结果对比分析发现,在属级别上,两种分析方法中有39个相同的属类群(两种分析方法丰度前50的细菌类群合并所得),弗兰克氏菌属(Frankia)和副球菌属(Paracoccus)在16S rRNA基因测序分析结果中相对含量较多,而考克氏菌属(Kocuria)和地嗜皮菌属(Geodermatophilus)在宏基因组测序结果中相对含量较高.在门和属的水平上,PM2.5和PM10中细菌群落结构特征呈现出相似的规律.在门水平上,放线菌门(Actinobacteria)在PM2.5中的相对百分比较大,而厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)在PM10中的相对百分比较大.在属水平上,梭菌属(Clostridium)在PM10中的相对百分比较大.与三项国外基于16S rRNA基因测序研究结果对比发现,尽管在采样地点和采样时间上有较大差异,大气中普遍存在一些相同的细菌类群,且近地面大气细菌群落结构特征相似度较高,区别于高空对流层中细菌群落结构特征.

以稻草为碳源和生物膜载体去除水中的硝酸盐

采用室内试验装置,研究了以农业废弃物稻草为反硝化碳源和反应介质的生物反应器对于污水中硝酸盐的去除效果及其影响因素.结果表明,以稻草为反硝化碳源和生物膜载体的反应器启动时间短,对污水中硝酸盐氮的去除效果好,且试验过程中未发现亚硝酸盐累积;进水硝酸盐浓度对装置的处理效果有一定影响,浓度过高会导致硝酸盐的去除率下降;装置对进水DO和ｐH变化有一定抗性,DO在1.0～3.5 mg/L,pH在6.5～8.5之间变化时,反应器硝酸盐的去除率变化很小,缓冲能力较强;反应器稳定性强,装置运行84 ｄ后,出水硝酸盐开始升高,硝酸盐去除率逐步降低,但去除率仍在50%以上.
