大气中O3、CO2浓度升高对蒙古栎叶片生长的影响

以4年生蒙古栎(Quercus mongolica) 幼树为实验材料,分别于2007,2008年6~9月采用开顶箱法,研究了高浓度CO2和O3及复合作用对蒙古栎叶片光合量变化和生长的影响.结果表明,高浓度O3处理下蒙古栎叶片日光合总量降低, 单叶鲜重、干重和单叶面积均有所下降,对蒙古栎叶片生长产生抑制.高浓度CO2处理下,蒙古栎叶片干、鲜重和单叶面积均高于对照,其中2007年差异显著,日光合总量总体高于对照.2种气体复合作用处理下,蒙古栎日光合总量、单叶鲜重、单叶干重、单叶面积均低于对照,且高于O3单独处理,说明高浓度CO2可以通过减缓O3对植物光合的抑制,进而减少O3伤害,缓解生长抑制.     

膜生物反应器内流场动力学特性的PIV实验研究

浸没式膜生物反应器系统内膜面附近的气液两相流动力学特性对控制浓差极化和膜污染具有重要影响。应用粒子图像测速(PIV)技术对浸没式膜生物反应器内近膜面的液相流场动力学特性进行了研究。采用相分离技术灰度分辨法将通过PIV技术得到的气液两相流场图像中的液相速度场进行辨别,得到膜面附近的液相流场数据,并应用Tecplot软件计算得出液相流的涡量特性。在3 mm曝气孔径,2.5、3.0、3.5、4.5、5.5和6.5 m3/h 6种曝气强度下分析了膜面附近的液相速度场和涡量场。结果表明,曝气强度对液相流场和涡量场的影响较大,在一定范围内增加曝气强度可以使得液相速度和涡量增加,同时,分析了3 mm孔径下圆帽状气泡的动力学特性。研究结果为膜生物反应器系统的优化设计提供了研究经验和实验数据。     

Divergence in sink contributions to population persistence

Population sinks present unique conservation challenges. The loss of individuals in sinks can compromise persistence; but conversely, sinks can improve viability by improving connectivity and facilitating the recolonization of vacant sources. To assess the contribution of sinks to regional population persistence of declining populations, we simulated source–sink dynamics for 3 very different endangered species: Black‐capped Vireos (Vireo atricapilla) at Fort Hood, Texas, Ord's kangaroo rats (Dipodomys ordii) in Alberta, and Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) in the northwestern United States. We used empirical data from these case studies to parameterize spatially explicit individual‐based models. We then used the models to quantify population abundance and persistence with and without long‐term sinks. The contributions of sink habitats varied widely. Sinks were detrimental, particularly when they functioned as strong sinks with few emigrants in declining populations (e.g., Alberta's Ord's kangaroo rat) and benign in robust populations (e.g., Black‐capped Vireos) when Brown‐headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) parasitism was controlled. Sinks, including ecological traps, were also crucial in delaying declines when there were few sources (e.g., in Black‐capped Vireo populations with no Cowbird control). Sink contributions were also nuanced. For example, sinks that supported large, variable populations were subject to greater extinction risk (e.g., Northern Spotted Owls). In each of our case studies, new context‐dependent sinks emerged, underscoring the dynamic nature of sources and sinks and the need for frequent re‐assessment. Our results imply that management actions based on assumptions that sink habitats are generally harmful or helpful risk undermining conservation efforts for declining populations.     

Current Contents of 90Sr and 137Cs in the Moss–Lichen Cover of Piedmont and Mountain Landscapes of the Northern Urals

The contents of long-lived artificial radionuclides, ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs, were determined in lichens and mosses of different taxa and in the samples of moss–lichen cover taken from the mountain and lowland plant communities of the Northern Urals. The effects of Chernobyl fallout and the dynamics of radionuclide contents in lichens and mosses were analyzed. The concentration of ¹³⁷Cs in the moss–lichen cover was higher in the mountain ecosystems than in the lowland plant communities.

金龙顶子火山喷发柱动力学参数的估算及其灾害评价

用厚度对数-面积平方根法求得金龙顶子火山四海期喷发物体积为0.2155km3。根据最大浮岩碎屑粒度等值线分布特征,估算四海期喷发柱气冲区高度2.5km、对流区高度10.0km、伞状区高度13.86km;风速25-30m/s;初始喷发温度800℃;喷火口半径50m;初始速度250m/s;质量喷发率106.54kg/s;体积喷发率103.26m3/s;喷发高峰时上升速度100m/s;喷发柱中央线温度210k;喷发柱宽度半径为2km;伞状区向外辐射速度20～7m/s;喷发持续时间约为32.91小时;释放能量为1.62×1019J。在火山喷发数值模拟软件模拟验证的基础上,对金龙顶子火山灾害进行了评价预测。     

碱渣对海洋水环境中PO_4~（3－）的吸附动力学特征

本文作为碱渣倾倒对海洋水环境影响现场调查的先期研究，从理论上推导了固─液体系的二级吸附动力学模型。在室内试验的基础上，利用该模型对碱渣─海水混合体系的吸附试验数据进行了理论分析。认为碱渣对海水中磷酸盐的吸附是二级动力学过程。并且提出了碱渣─海水体系中碱渣含量对吸附反应速率影响大小的“强度指数”概念。应用该模型预测了不同混合比例条件下碱渣对海水中不同初始浓度磷酸盐的平衡吸附量和平衡浓度。理论分析发现，预测的平衡吸附量和平衡浓度之间符合乔姆金等温吸附方程，说明了海水中磷酸盐在碱渣表面上的吸附是遮盖率不大的单层化学吸附，与本文的前提假设相符合。     

氯酚污染土壤的生物强化修复及其微生物种群动态变化的分子生物学监测

在氯酚污染的土壤中接种氯酚降解菌,研究了受污染土壤的生物强化修复.利用传统的微生物计数方法和现代分子生物学手段,研究了生物强化修复过程中微生物种群的动态变化情况.在受氯酚污染的土壤样品中,以氯酚为唯一碳源和能源,分离出了多株对氯酚具有较高降解能力的微生物,利用16S rDNA序列分析方法对部分微生物进行了种属鉴定.土壤中存在的土著的氯酚降解菌可以对低含量的氯酚(100mg·g-1)进行降解;但是当土壤中氯酚含量较高(500 mg·g-1)时,土著微生物的降解能力受到限制,这可能是高浓度的氯酚对土著的氯酚降解菌会产生毒性作用.接种外来微生物后,土壤中可以培养的氯酚降解菌的总数从开始的106CFU·g-1增加到108CFU·g-1,并且,在氯酚含量为100 mg·g-1的土壤样品中,微生物数目的增加比在氯酚含量为500 mg·g-1土壤样品中更快.这表明接种的外来微生物可以在土壤中很好地生长繁殖,有效地促进土壤中氯酚的生物降解.接种外来微生物可以减轻土壤中氯酚对土著微生物初期产生的不利影响.土壤中的氯酚可能会改变微生物种群结构.DGGE分析结果表明,在未受氯酚污染和受氯酚污染的土壤样品中,存在一些共同的DNA谱带,但谱带强度有明显的差异.在受污染的土壤中接种外来微生物进行生物强化,可以促进污染物的生物降解过程,是生物修复过程中的一种重要手段,有着广泛的应用前景,将在我国受污染环境的生物修复中发挥重要作用.     

Allelopathic potential of Medicago arborea, a Mediterranean invasive shrub

Summary. Biological invasions are nowadays a major problem in ecology. Allelopathy has been shown to be involved in such invasions, but this mechanism has been little studied in France. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the allelopathic potential of Medicago arborea, an invasive species in the French Mediterranean region. Foliar extracts were tested on three target species (Lactuca sativa, Lepidium sativum and Linum strictum). We showed that Medicago arborea has high allelopathic potential to affect the growth and germination of other species. Yellow flax (Linum strictum), native to the invaded area, was the most sensitive of the tested plant species to foliar extracts of Medicago arborea. Our study pointed out the role of allelopathy in processes leading to biological invasion, and more generally in population dynamics.
