清凉峰自然保护区木荷种群结构研究

以位于浙江清凉峰国家级自然保护区1 hm²永久样地为研究材料,逐一测量并记录了样地中所有胸径≥1 cm树木的胸围,并对其挂牌标记、鉴定种名和确定坐标位置,分析了样地内木荷种群结构与空间格局。研究结果表明,DBH≤17.5 cm的木荷个体数量占80.5%,DBH>27.5 cm的仅占8.4%,种群能够实现自我更新,属稳定型种群。基于种群径级结构分析,木荷种群密度随个体胸径的变化趋势类似于偏正态分布形曲线。木荷在整个样地中的分布表现出明显的空间异质性,多数聚集于坡面和山脊的生境中。种群空间关联性分析表明,木荷大径级(DBH≥16.1 cm)和小径级(1 cm≤DBH＜16.1 cm)间在0-8 m的尺度上负相关,8-25 m的尺度上无关联。另外,25个小样地的木荷重要值为0-34.35%,平均重要值为8.24%,小样地间的这种巨大差异归因于木荷种群空间分布的聚集性。     

不同营林措施对马尾松林土壤呼吸影响

以三峡库区马尾松飞播林为研究对象,针对不同营林措施:除灌(清除所有除灌产生的枝叶)、采伐I(采伐强度15%,采伐树干,并未对枝叶进行清除)、采伐II(采伐强度70%,采伐剩余物处理同采伐I)、对照,采用LI-8100土壤CO₂通量测定系统对其土壤呼吸速率进行为期1年的连续观测,分析了不同营林措施对于土壤呼吸的影响以及不同营林措施下土壤呼吸产生差异的原因。结果显示:年土壤呼吸速率均值除灌(1.82±0.07 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)< 对照(2.18±0.05 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)< 采伐I(2.37±0.07 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)< 采伐II(2.86±0.1 μmol·m^-2·s^-1);采伐强度与土壤呼吸速率增值呈正比;不同营林措施与对照土壤呼吸速率均在夏季生长旺盛期7-8月达到最大值;高强度的采伐显著提高了土壤温度与湿度,对照、除灌、采伐I、采伐II土壤呼吸敏感性指数Q₁₀值依次为: 2.18±1.09、1.65±0.07、2.20 ±0.09,2.36±0.09。     

闽南麻竹人工林地上部分现存生物量的研究

对闽南地区麻竹人工林地上部分生物量模型及现存生物量结构进行了研究。结果表明:以模型m=a·(D²H)^b对麻竹地上部分总生物量和秆生物量进行估计较为可靠,而对枝、叶生物量的估计需引进枝下高因子h及模型m=a·D^b·(H-h)^C或m=a·D^b·[(H-h)/h]^C.闽南地区麻竹人工林地上部分平均现存生物量为39.518t·hm^-2,按年龄分配为:3年生生物量最高,占59.17%,其次为2年生、4年生、5年生;按器官分配为:秆生物量最高,占62.81%,其次为枝、叶。地上部分总生物量与秆生物量随竹秆高度增加而递减,枝、叶生物量自6～8m区分段分别向秆基及秆梢递减。

Determinants of floodplain forest development illustrated by the example of the floodplain forest in the District of Leipzig

This paper discusses determinants of the historical and current spatial extent of the floodplain forest in Leipzig as well as its tree species composition using a GIS-data based delineation model and historical forest inventories for the floodplain forest in the district of Leipzig in Germany from the 19th to the 20th century. We found that the spatial extent of the floodplain forest remained considerably stable in spite of an overall decline in the entire floodplain area from the period where the city first experienced industrialisation in the 19th century to now. However, with river regulations and the alteration of forest management from coppice-with-standards forest to high forest in the 19th century, major changes can be found in the tree species composition of the floodplain forest. Comparing these findings with references from other European floodplain forests we discuss the impact of historical and current forest management as well as the city location's influence on the extent and tree species composition of urban floodplain forests. For urban forest management in particular there is a great need to integrate biophysical, historical and forestry knowledge when predicting future developmental trends.     

Antimicrobial activity of the Derris elliptica, Derris indica and Derris trifoliata extractives

Various parts of Derris elliptica, Derris indica and Derris trifoliata on fractionation with a number of solvents (petrol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and methanol) gave fractions which demonstrated a varied level of broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Good activity was exhibited by the methanol fractions of the leaves and root heart-wood, petrol, butanol and methanol fractions of the root bark of D. indica and petrol and ethyl acetate fractions of D. trifoliata. None of the plants showed antifungal activity.     

Optimizing the joint production of timber and bilberries

Berries and mushrooms are increasingly appreciated products of Finnish forests. Therefore, there is a need to integrate them in silvicultural planning. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) is an economically important wild berry that is widely collected for household consumption and sale in North Karelia, Finland. In this study, bilberry yield models developed recently were included in a stand growth simulator and the joint production of timber and bilberry was optimized by maximizing soil expectation value (SEV) with 3% discounting rate, assuming that 75% of the bilberry yield is harvested. The effect of bilberry production on the optimal stand management increased with increasing bilberry price. With high bilberry prices (4–8 € kg⁻¹) it was optimal to manage the mixed stand of Scots pine, Norway spruce and birch, and the pure stand of Norway spruce so as to promote bilberry production. In the Scots pine stand, where bilberry yields are higher, bilberry production affected optimal stand management already with a price of 2 € kg⁻¹. Compared to timber production, joint production led to longer rotation lengths, higher thinning intensities, more frequent thinnings, and higher share of Scots pine in the mixed stand. The contribution of bilberries to the total SEV increased with increasing bilberry price and discounting rate. In the mixed stand and pine stand the SEV of bilberry production, calculated with 3% discounting rate, exceeded the SEV of timber production when bilberry price was 4 € kg⁻¹.With 4% discounting rate this happened already with bilberry price of 2 € kg⁻¹. It was concluded that forest management which promotes bilberry yields is the most profitable in pine stands where the potential bilberry yields are high.     

Relative susceptibility of four species of African mahogany to the shoot borer Hypsipyla robusta (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in the moist semideciduous forest of Ghana

We examined the relative susceptibility of four mahogany species, Khaya ivorensis, Khaya anthotheca, Entandrophragma angolense, and E. utile, to Hypsipyla robusta attack. Seeds were obtained from one to three parent trees for each species. The research was conducted in the moist semideciduous forest zone in Ghana and used a randomized complete block design. Tree height and diameter and height to first branch were measured until 24 months after out-planting in the field. H. robusta damage was assessed by counting the numbers of shoots attacked, branches, and dead shoots. Khaya spp. grew better but experienced more attack than Entandrophragma spp. The relative susceptibility to H. robusta attack, from most to least, of the four species was: K. anthotheca > K. ivorensis > E. angolense > E. utile. At 24 months, the mean number of shoots attacked per tree ranged from 1.0 for an E. utile seed source to 3.6 on for a K. anthotheca seed source. At 15 months, K. anthotheca and K. ivorensis started branching at about 1.5 m, but height of clear trunk increased over time due to self-pruning. As K. anthotheca grew taller, the number of H. robusta attacks per tree declined. This suggested that selection of genotypes and species that are tolerant of H. robusta attack based on infestation of young plants may not be appropriate. Genetic factors more completely reflecting the response of different species and genotypes to H. robusta attack may manifest themselves at later growth stages.     

Larvicidal and growth inhibition of the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi by triterpenes from Dysoxylum malabaricum and Dysoxylum beddomei

Secondary metabolites from Dysoxylum malabaricum and Dysoxylum beddomei were tested against mature and immature stage of the mosquito vector Anopheles stephensi under laboratory conditions. The triterpenes 3beta,24,25-trihydroxycycloartane and beddomeilactone from D. malabaricum and D. beddomei showed strong larvicidal, pupicidal and adulticidal activity. They also affected the reproductive potential of adults by acting as oviposition deterrents. The highest concentration tested (10 ppm) of both compounds evoked more than 90% mortality and oviposition deterrence.

However, no significant activities were found.     

Nepetalactone content in shoot cultures of three endemic Nepeta species and the evaluation of their antimicrobial activity

Rapid micropropagation of Nepeta rtanjensis, N. sibirica and N. nervosa was performed. Qualitative and quantitative nepetalactone content in methanol extracts of in vitro grown plants was analysed by reverse-phase HPLC coupled with UV and MS detection. Only trans,cis-nepetalactone was detected in shoots of N. rtanjensis, while cis,trans-nepetalactone stereoisomer was present in N. sibirica. No nepetalactone was observed in shoots of N. nervosa. The antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts, against eight bacterial and eight fungal species, was evaluated. All the tested extracts showed significant antibacterial and strong antifungal activity. However, N. rtanjensis extract exhibited the best antimicrobial potential.
