Diagnostic value of rectal temperature of African cattle of variable coat colour infected with trypanosomes and tick-borne infections

Diagnosis of major endemic bovine parasitic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa such as trypanosomosis, theileriosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and cowdriosis is increasingly relying on clinical diagnosis due to deterioration of veterinary services and laboratory facilities. Pyrexia is a common clinical feature of aforementioned diseases whose detection relies on measurement of rectal temperature. The research undertaken in this study was aimed at assessing the effects of diurnal changes and variable coat colour of indigenous Nkedi Zebu cattle on the diagnostic value of rectal temperature under tropical conditions. The results revealed that variation in rectal temperature was significantly influenced by time of day it was taken and by the coat colour of the Nkedi Zebu cattle (P < 0.001). Rectal temperature experienced diurnal changes: steadily rising to reach a peak at 17.00 h before declining. The mean rectal temperature of unhealthy cattle was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the healthy ones only between 13.00 and 17.00 h of the day. During which period the proportion of unhealthy cattle having a rectal temperature of 39.4 °C or higher was significantly higher than that of healthy ones (P < 0.001). Regarding the variable coat colour of indigenous breeds, rectal temperature among cattle of different coat colours was significantly different (P < 0.05). In conclusion it is important to consider diurnal changes in rectal temperature and differences due to variable coat colour of indigenous African breeds when measuring rectal temperature for assessing pyrexia, during clinical diagnosis of bovine trypanosomosis and tick-borne diseases that are endemic in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa.     

拟南芥PLDα1突变体的繁殖及形态和生理特性分析

对拟南芥野生型Ws及其突变体PLDα1(phospholipase D)的种植方法和形态特征进行了比较,并研究了ABA处理对其抗氧化酶系活力和丙二醛含量的差异。结果表明,与野生型相比,突变体形态上发生了较大的变化,并表现出对ABA反应敏感性的降低。ABA处理24 h后,野生型的SOD酶和POD酶活迅速发生变化,丙二醛含量迅速升高,而突变体变化较平缓,叶绿素含量的变化相似。     

宁夏东部荒漠草原猪毛蒿光合特征和水分利用效率对降水变化的响应

荒漠草原植物的生长和生存受降水影响很大,本研究以宁夏东部荒漠草原猪毛蒿种群为研究对象,2017-2020年连续4年监测了降水改变条件下土壤水分特征,测定了猪毛蒿净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和胞间CO₂浓度等光合特征,并对其内禀水分利用效率和瞬时水分利用效率进行了分析。研究表明：4年中无效降水事件（<5 mm）发生次数较多,占当年降水频次的60.00%~82.54%;大雨（≥25 mm且≤49.9 mm）和暴雨等级（≥50 mm）降水事件较少,平均单次降水事件的降水量仅为3.3~6.5 mm·次^-1。不同处理各土层的土壤含水量存在较大差异,表层（10 cm）土壤含水量较次表层（20 cm）和深层（60 cm）的变幅大;次表层（20 cm）土壤平均含水量低于表层,与小降水事件发生频次较高无法入渗补给以及植物吸收消耗有关;深层（60 cm）土壤含水量变化小,较稳定。净光合速率随着光合有效辐射的增加而增大,当光合有效辐射在400~1600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时,增雨处理提高了猪毛蒿的净光合速率;在光合有效辐射>1600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时,猪毛蒿净光合速率有下降趋势,且增雨处理下降幅度最大。光合有效辐射在>400 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时,胞间CO₂浓度呈直线下降,达到1600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时,胞间CO₂浓度最小。蒸腾速率和气孔导度随着光照强度的增加未有显著变化,但增雨处理下猪毛蒿的蒸腾速率和气孔导度均大于其他处理。气孔限制值随着光合有效辐射的增加呈上升趋势,同时降水的增加减小了气孔限制值。猪毛蒿的内禀水分利用效率和瞬时水分利用效率均在较低的光照强度时（<400 μmol·m^-2·s^-1）随着光强的增加而迅速增大,之后增速减缓。各处理中猪毛蒿最大内禀水分利用效率和最大瞬时水分利用效率在1600~2000 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时达到最大。随着干旱程度的增加,猪毛蒿最大水分利用效率对应的光照强度由2000减小至1600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1。在荒漠草原,当光照强度>400 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时,适度干旱提高了猪毛蒿的水分利用效率。     

肉桂人工林土壤速效养分与酶活性的季节变化

研究了广西高峰林场林龄为3年和6年的肉桂人工林土壤速效养分(水解N、速效P、速效K)和土壤酶活性(过氧化氢酶、脲酶、酸性磷酸酶)的季节变化规律及其相互关系。结果表明：两种林地土壤速效养分含量和土壤酶话性均表现出明显的季节动态．：E壤速效N、P、K含量和L壤脲酶活性均以肉桂生长初期(3月中旬)最高．其次是第一个生长高峰期(6月中旬)或第二个生长高峰期(9月中旬)，最低是生长未期(12月中旬)；而土壤过氧化氢酶和酸性磷酸酶活性以第一个生长高峰期或第二个生长高峰期最高．其次是生长初期,最低是生长末期；士壤速效养分与土壤酶活性的季节变化密切相关。因此，生长初期至第一个生长高峰期是肉桂林地施用N、P、K肥的适当时期。

Management effects on carbon stocks and fluxes across the Orinoco savannas

Across the physiognomic types of the Orinoco llanos, periodic inventories and changes in land-use between 1982–1992 are estimated. Results indicate that the area under pastures and forest plantations is increased by 0.005337×10⁶ km², whilts reducing the area of croplands by 0.000119×10⁶ km². This is a net increase of 0.005218×10⁶ km². The gross carbon release is 174.66 Tg C per year to the atmosphere and transferring from cultivated and native vegetation to wood products (1.62 Tg C per year) and slash (1.18 Tg C per year). The processes of land preparation contribute 1.40 Tg C per year to the atmosphere. From the tree savannas, woodlands and forests 0.73 Tg C per year are estimated to have been transferred to the soil following clearance and burning over this period, and 1.05 Tg C per year from herbaceous savannas when were buried and decomposed at 0.84 Tg C per year. The estimate of carbon balance here by inventories and changes in land-use approach indicates that the Orinoco llanos is a sink of −17.53 Tg C per year. The carbon turnover time in the Orinoco system is 68 years, which provides a limited route for carbon sequestration. The calculated potential of the Orinoco llanos for storing carbon is 8300 Tg C. Ecological options to achieve this potential value are addressed. However, nutrient deficiency and seasonal water supply are serious drawbacks to take into account for increasing carbon accretion. These results are particular for the Orinoco llanos, even though described processes could be similar to world-wide savannas, where a gradient of carbon heterogeneity exists.

从澳大利亚引进的两种相思植物光合速率和蒸腾效率的初步研究

以LCA-4光合蒸腾测定系统进行大腺相思和多花相思叶片气体交换过程的测定。结果如下：（1）净光合速率日变化明显，且变化趋势大体一致，即10：00-13：00具有较高的光合速率，其它测定时间相对较低。（2）两树种净光合速率存在差异。大腺相思高于多花相思，其最大值分别为19.6(10:00),16.1(13:00)μmolm^-2s^-1，日平均值分别为11.9,9.8μmolm^-2s^-1，反映了大腺相思的生长速度较多花相思快。（3）大腺相思和多花相思蒸腾速率日变化明显，正午前后较高，13：00达到最大，日平均值多花相思略高于大腺相思，分别为3.3,3.0mmolm^-2s^-1，表明在相同的环境条件下大腺相思的耗水量低于多花相思。（4）两树种蒸腾效率的日变化趋势大体上也类似，即在9：00-11：00较高，此期间大腺相思和多花相思和多花相思的平均值分别为5.51,4.21μmolCO2/mmolH2O。日平均值大腺厢思和多花相思分别为3.84,2.88μmolCO2/mmolH2O,表明消耗等量的水分大腺相思比多花相思能固定更多的CO2量，即有更高的水分利用效率。     

甘肃省天然林区森林资源蓄积量及用材林消长变化

通过对甘肃省天然林区5次森林资源连续清查蓄积量及用材林蓄积量变化的分析，初步得出结论：1979-1988年甘肃省天然林区蓄积量为增长阶段，1988-1996年蓄积量属减少阶段，1996-2001年为增长阶段。通过对3个阶段的分析，说明甘肃省20多年来，天然林区蓄积量呈波浪式的增长、减少、再增长趋势，也充分说明了国家实施天保工程的正确性。
