European eel distribution and body condition in a river floodplain: effect of longitudinal and lateral connectivity

Abstract – We studied eel population characteristics (size classes, densities and body condition) in the lower Loire River floodplain (France) to evaluate the effects of longitudinal and lateral gradients. A total of 36 sites were electrofished in June 2005. The sites were grouped first into three river segments according to the distance inland corresponding to a longitudinal gradient and secondly into three lateral connectivity categories. Results indicate that small eels, especially those ≤300 mm, were very abundant downstream but density rapidly decreased upstream. In addition, eels ≤150 mm tended to be most abundant in connected waterbodies. Conversely, the distribution of larger eels was quite uniform across both dimensions. Eel condition decreased upstream. In parallel, in downstream river segment, eels had a lower condition in disconnected waterbodies than in connected ones. Eel specialists still have only a longitudinal perception of eel habitat. Our results suggest that lateral gradients should be also taken into consideration.     

肥皂草的嫩枝扦插繁殖和栽培管理技术

太原市植物研究中心2005年从东北引进了新优地被植物肥皂草,它有很高的观赏价值和生态效益。通过近4年的引种试验,证明该品种适应太原地区气候和土壤条件,是很有发展潜力的优良绿化地被品种。对肥皂草进行嫩枝扦插繁殖试验,结果表明,用浓度为500 mg/kg的NAA处理4 h,肥皂草扦插生根率和成活率能达到90%以上,成活率很高。并对其栽培管理技术进行了总结。     

Effect of Branch Direction's Arrangement on Soybean Yield and Yield Components

Useful light interception during reproductive stages is very important for soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) dry matter production. The objective of this experiment was to investigate the light utilization in the canopy for yield, and its components in the case of arranging branch direction to row direction with flat type (1/2 phyllotaxy) soybean. The field study was conducted in the field at Niigata University on a loamy sand soil at 25, 16 and 9 plants m⁻² in 1994, 1995 and 1996, using cultivar 'Miyagishirome' (Maturity Group VII or VIII, phyllotaxy 1/2; branches develop flatly) with treatments so that branches developed at right angles direction (Type R) and in a parallel direction (Type P) to the direction of the row.
Total dry weight (TDW) was greater in Type R than in Type P. A higher leaf area index (LAI) was shown in Type R than in Type P in each plant density among the three years. More light penetrated into the canopy in Type R than in Type P. Higher TDW and LAI were produced by effective light interception at the canopy of Type R.
Yield and its components were greater in higher than lower density and tended to be greater in Type R than in Type P. Increased yield depend on seed, pod and node number m⁻². The increase of yield components in Type R was suggested to be due to favorable light condition in the canopy, compared with Type P.

天津外环线主要树种枝条枯死原因分析

2007年秋季对天津外环线树木枯枝情况进行了调查分析,发现天津市外环线树木枯枝现象比较普遍,平均枯枝率达29.01%。枯枝最严重的是柳树,其次是白蜡、毛白杨等。外环线外侧树枝的枯死程度明显比内侧树的严重。树龄的大小不是决定树木枯枝的主要因素,环境的影响是决定因素之一,其中地表水的含盐量和含钠量与树木的枯枝程度有密切关系。

草方格铺设机构的研究与设计

草方格铺设机构是草方格铺设机器人的重要执行机构，其包括纵向铺设机构和横向铺设机构两大部分。纵向铺设机构利用压草盘将草压入沙中，铺设长度连续、间隔1m的草沙障；横向铺设机构用插刀每隔1m插草一次，在纵向草沙障三个空档中同时插入长度为850～1000mm的草沙障。此机构大大提高了草方格铺设的质量和效率，适合在恶劣的沙漠环境中作业。     

葡萄枝叶自然青贮中优选乳酸菌的分离与鉴定

本研究旨在对葡萄枝叶青贮饲料中天然附着优势乳酸菌进行分离培养和鉴定,为葡萄枝叶资源的饲料化利用提供可靠的乳酸菌资源。利用分子生物学鉴定法(16S rDNA序列分析)与传统的微生物鉴定法对分离出的乳酸菌进行鉴定,最终得到5株乳酸菌菌株,其中Q1菌株鉴定为肠膜明串珠菌(Leuconostoc mesenterica),Q2和Q5菌株鉴定为屎肠球菌(Enterococcus faecium),Q3菌株鉴定为铅黄色肠球菌(Enterococcus casseliflavus),Q4菌株鉴定为海氏肠球菌(Enterococcus hirae)。所筛选出的乳酸菌除L.mesenterica在pH为9时不能生长,其余菌株均能在pH 3～9,4℃～45℃,3%和6.5% NaCl浓度环境下生长;其中E.hirae菌株在培养至24 h后其菌液pH可达到4.11,OD值为1.42,表现出最强的生长及产酸能力。     

Application of the pipe model theory to non-destructive estimation of leaf biomass and leaf area of pruned agroforestry trees

The relationship of branch cross sectional area (CS) to leaf biomass (LM) and leaf area (LA) was studied in three agroforestry tree species,Calliandra calothyrsus Maissn.,Erythrina berteroana Urban andErythrina poeppigiana (Walpers) O.F. Cook, to develop a non-destructive method for the estimation of LM and LA for trees managed with periodic pruning. Variation in these relationships was observed according to the bifurcation level and, in theErythrina spp., by clone. All the relationships were linear except the CS-LM relation in small branches ofE. poeppigiana, where it was initially exponential. At main branch level the relationship of CS to LM and LA was linear in all cases but the regression parameter values varied between species and clones, with determination coefficient (R²) 0.88–0.99. It was concluded that the ratio of main branch CS to LM and LA can be used for non-destructive estimation of the latter variables. The method has the additional benefit that the regression parameter value reflects the allocation of dry matter within a tree and, consequently, may give indications about its possible uses in different agroforestry systems.Work carried out at the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), Turrialba, Costa Rica.
