Electrophoretic profiles of 0.1 m Tris-HCl (pH 9.0)-soluble proteins in the leaves and stems of the bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) were investigated in the latter part of the growing season (July-October), in a highly-polluted industrial area with serious forest damage (main emissions NO(2), SO(2), NH(3), urea and fertilizer dust) in Oulu, northern Finland, and in an unpolluted control forest with the same climatic and edaphic conditions. About ten protein components in the leaves and seven in the stems increased in concentration in SDS-PAGE towards the autumn, while one to four other components decreased in concentration. The pollutants in the industrial area caused a considerable decrease in the concentrations of soluble proteins, particularly in the leaves in August and September. A decrease was obtained in six components in the leaves and three components in the stems, while increases were observed in one component in the leaves (10 kDa) and four components in the stems (10, 43, 50 and 65 kDa). One reason for the lowered cold-resistance in the bilberry caused by air pollutants could thus be the lowered concentrations of certain soluble cytoplasmic proteins that protect the plant against winter conditions. 相似文献

Habitat loss is one of the greatest threats for biodiversity. In Finland, two thirds of natural mires have been drained for silviculture, which transforms open wetlands into dense forests. However, vegetation management of power line rights-of-way (ROW) maintain the drained mires as open areas. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the power line ROW vegetation management on butterfly abundance, species richness and community structure by comparing the managed power line ROWs to unmanaged drained control sites and to natural mires. The species richness or abundance of mire butterflies did not differ between the power line ROWs and natural mires. In contrast, both species richness and abundance of butterflies was low on the unmanaged control sites. Tree canopy cover had a negative effect on mire butterflies and this is most likely related to changes in microclimate. The results indicate that the active vegetation removal in the power line ROWs maintain alternative habitats for mire butterflies; yet, the power line ROWs cannot substitute the natural mires. 相似文献

Abstract: Data from several animal species and a few plant species indicate that small populations face an elevated risk of extinction. Plants are still underrepresented in these studies concerning the relation between population size and persistence. We studied the effect of population size on persistence among natural populations of the rare bellflower Campanula cervicaria in Finland. We monitored 52 bellflower populations for 8 years and found that the mean population size decreased from 24 to 14 during this period. Small populations with ≤5 individuals were more prone to losing all fertile plants than were larger ones. Reduction in population size was nevertheless unrelated to the degree of population isolation, measured as the distance to the nearest known population. To test the hypothesis that offspring fitness is lower in small populations, we germinated bellflower seeds from different-sized populations in a laboratory and found that seed germination ability was independent of population size. The seedlings raised from seeds of small populations grew faster than those taken from larger populations. Population size was negatively related to the amount of shade in the habitats. In conclusion, decreasing population sizes of C. cervicaria seemed not to be caused by lowered germination ability or growth rate in small populations; rather, population size reductions appeared to be due to closing of vegetation in the habitats. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to predict quantitative changes in evaporation from bare soils in the Mediterranean climate
region of Turkey in response to the projections of a regional climate model developed in Japan (hereafter RCM). Daily RCM
data for the estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET
r) and soil evaporation were obtained for the periods of 1994–2003 and 2070–2079. Potential evaporation (E
p) from bare soils was calculated using the Penman–Monteith equation with a surface resistance of zero. Simulation of actual
soil evaporation (E
a) was carried out using Aydin model (Aydin et al., Ecological Modelling 182:91–105, 2005) combined with Aydin and Uygur (2006,
A model for estimating soil water potential of bare fields. In Proceedings of the 18th International Soil Meeting (ISM) on Soils Sustaining Life on Earth, Managing Soil and Technology,
Sanliurfa, 477–480pp.) model of predicting soil water potential at the top surface layer of a bare soil, after performances of Aydin
model (R
2 = 94.0%) and Aydin and Uygur model (R
2 = 97.6) were tested. The latter model is based on the relations among potential soil evaporation, hydraulic diffusivity,
and soil wetness, with some simplified assumptions. Input parameters of the model are simple and easily obtainable such as
climatic parameters used to compute the potential soil evaporation, average diffusivity for the drying soil, and volumetric
water content at field capacity. The combination of Aydin and Aydin and Uygur models appeared to be useful in estimating water
potential of soils and E
a from bare soils, with only a few parameters. Unlike ET
r and E
p projected to increase by 92 and 69 mm (equivalent to 8.0 and 7.3% increases) due to the elevated evaporative demand of the
atmosphere, respectively, E
a from bare soils is projected to reduce by 50 mm (equivalent to a 16.5% decrease) in response to a decrease in rainfall by
46% in the Mediterranean region of Turkey by the 2070s predicted by RCM, and consequently, to decreased soil wetness in the
future. 相似文献

Dissolved uranium ((238)U(D)) was measured within the Gironde fluvial-estuarine system (France), which is well known for its heavy metal pollution and its subsequent environmental effects. Dissolved (238)U activities exhibit the highest levels and variability in the small watersheds of the Isle and Riou-Mort rivers, ascribed to low discharges and the occurrence of peculiar features (local U ore deposits; Permian layers). The major tributaries of the Gironde Estuary: Garonne, Lot and Dordogne, show rather stable (238)U(D), higher than the global mean riverine uranium activity. In the Gironde Estuary (238)U(D) behaves conservatively along the river-estuary-ocean transect. Dissolved (238)U distribution in the Gironde fluvial-estuarine system can be explained by the characteristics of considered drainage basins. There is no evidence of anthropogenic pollution. 相似文献

The effect of climatic warming on the dehardening potential of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) in a northern boreal environment (65 degrees N) was studied. Natural stands of bilberry were heated artificially in winter. No reference point for the heating was set, since the purpose was to follow the fluctuations in ambient air temperatures. These were 2-3 degrees C higher in the heated plots than in the control plots from October to May. Frost resistance (LT50) and the pH of cell effusate were monitored throughout. Bud phenology was assessed in May and related to various biochemical analyses, including glucose, fructose, sucrose, starch and total and reduced glutathione. Frost resistance started to decrease earlier in the heated plants, as did the pH of the cell effusate. Bud phenology was in accordance with the LT50 and pH results, since new growth had emerged in the heated plants by the beginning of May, when the controls still displayed dormancy. Concentrations of glucose, fructose and sucrose were significantly lower in the heated bilberries while concentrations of starch were higher. The heated plants also exhibited the lowest glutathione concentrations, but the difference was only marginal. The redox state of glutathione showed no difference between the treatments. The results suggest that a small elevation in air temperature can accelerate dehardening in the bilberry. It is thus concluded that climatic warming may entail a real risk of early dehardening and further frost damage for the bilberry. 相似文献

Despite extensive efforts to ensure that sampling and installation and maintenance of instruments are as efficient as possible when monitoring air pollution data, there is still an indisputable need for statistical post processing (quality assessment). We examined data on tropospheric ozone and found that meteorological normalisation can reveal (i) errors that have not been eliminated by established procedures for quality assurance and control of collected data, as well as (ii) inaccuracies that may have a detrimental effect on the results of statistical tests for temporal trends. Moreover, we observed that the quality assessment of collected data could be further strengthened by combining meteorological normalisation with non-parametric smoothing techniques for seasonal adjustment and detection of sudden shifts in level. Closer examination of apparent trends in tropospheric ozone records from EMEP (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) sites in Finland showed that, even if potential raw data errors were taken into account, there was strong evidence of upward trends during winter and early spring. 相似文献

In the combustion facilities, halogens (Cl, F, Br, I) should be considered with regard to the control of the compounds such as polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), halogenated polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and volatile heavy metals formed as a result of incomplete combustion and caused adverse environmental effects. In this study halogens were observed in Izmit Hazardous and Clinical Waste Incinerator (IZAYDAS). Halogen contents of the combustion menu, flue gas, fly ash, bottom ash and filter cake were measured and their distributions in these exit streams were determined. Results showed that the major part of the halogens was partitioned to solid residues, i.e., bottom ash and filter cake which represents the removal by wet scrubbers. Fly ash and flue gas fractions of halogens were much lower due to the reduced formation of volatile compounds. 相似文献

Virtual water embodied in international trade is equivalent to nearly one-third of global water withdrawal, confirming that trade plays a significant role in redistributing global water resources. This paper extends a virtual water analysis by measuring the extent to which virtual water embodied in traded industrial products affects the distribution of global virtual water. The distribution of global virtual water can be improved if trade in industrial products promotes virtual water outflows from water-abundant to water-scarce countries. Analyses were performed using an input–output model that can decompose water consumption into domestic demand and exports by destinations of trade. Focusing on Malaysia, the results indicate that trade in industrial products between Malaysia and its main trading partners have a limited capacity to improve the distribution of global virtual water. This limitation can be due to two reasons. Firstly, exports of Malaysian industrial products are mainly driven by less water-intensive sectors. Therefore, the amount of virtual water that outflows into other countries is also low. Secondly, trade in Malaysian industrial products largely involves water flows with other water-abundant countries. Only several water-scarce countries benefit from virtual water trade in industrial products with Malaysia, namely the Netherlands, Australia and China. 相似文献
