蝗虫切片图像Shannon-Cosine小波精细积分混合降噪

在显微镜下采集到的蝗虫切片图像通常同时具有高斯噪声和椒盐噪声。利用同时具有插值性、光滑性、紧支撑性及归一化特性的Shannon-Cosine小波,构造了多尺度插值小波算子,进而构造了去除图像中混合噪声的小波精细积分法。该方法在稀疏描述切片图像时,通过设置稀疏表示阈值,直接消除图像中的椒盐噪声;将图像的Shannon-Cosine小波稀疏表达式直接代入图像降噪P-M模型,将该模型变形为非线性常微分方程组,采用精细积分法求解,可实现图像的保边降噪,消除图像中的高斯噪声。实验结果表明,在满足降噪要求的情况下,本文方法可以较好地保持蝗虫切片图像中的各种纹理结构;随着高斯噪声方差由0.02增加到0.10,降噪图像的PSNR下降了11.67%,远低于其他方法。说明本文方法在处理蝗虫切片图像时具有较强的鲁棒性。采用本文方法描述蝗虫切片图像时,特征像素点只占图像像素总数的10%左右,有效降低了问题规模,提高了求解效率。

Forage legumes in grass pastures in tropical Brazil and likely impacts on greenhouse gas emissions: A review

Beef cattle producers seldom use fertilizers for their pastures in tropical regions of Brazil. Slowly, this is changing but because of the need for repeated applications, N fertilizer is rarely applied. The introduction of a forage legume is an appropriate solution for this problem, but until recently adoption has been very low as the legumes generally have not persisted in the sward. We report research on how grazing management can affect the persistence of stoloniferous legumes in pastures of Brachiaria spp. and the problems of establishing and maintaining crown-forming legumes such as Stylosanthes spp. With suitable management, milk or bovine carcass yields can be equal or greater from mixed than from grass-alone pastures fertilized with 120 or 150 kg Nha^-1 year⁻¹. In addition to savings in CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels for the production and distribution of N fertilizers, nitrous oxide emissions from cattle excreta and legume residues are lower than those from N-fertilized brachiaria grass monocultures. Other studies indicate that enteric methane emissions from cattle may be mitigated when forage legumes are included in their diet. The use of forage legumes in mixed pastures for tropical regions is emerging as a feasible strategy to keep meat and milk production at acceptable levels with reduced greenhouse gas emission rates.     

北京松山自然保护区主要树种冠幅预测模型研究

冠幅作为林业研究的关键因子，开展冠幅的研究对于精准林业发展具有重要意义。为了更好地利用冠幅对树木其他因子进行预测，选取了北京市松山自然保护区油松、白蜡、蒙古栎等14个常见树种作为研究对象，基于6种回归方程，借助样地实测数据分别建立每个树种的胸径 冠幅和树高 冠幅模型，并针对每个树种筛选出的最优方程进行了精度检验。结果表明，研建的14个树种的模型具有较好的拟合精度，决定系数R2绝大多数都大于0.5，其中，核桃的胸径 冠幅模型最高，R2=0.951，树高-冠幅模型R2=0.887，蒙古栎树高-冠幅模型最低，R2=0.506，也超过了0.5。所建模型的精度评价指标具有一定的统计学意义，对北京市松山地区大面积林分参数的预测预估有重要的参考价值。     

Y-S-Y12发酵液和生物质热解液混配对辣椒炭疽病的防治及作用机理

为探究解淀粉芽孢杆菌Y-S-Y12拮抗菌发酵液和生物质热解液混配对辣椒炭疽病的协同防病作用及其作用机理，对不同浓度生物质热解液、拮抗细菌Y-S-Y12菌株的发酵浓缩液及其混配溶液对辣椒炭疽病的抑菌作用进行检测，计算出毒力方程，根据EC50值将两种溶液进行混配，求得最佳配比。通过活体试验检测Y-S-Y12菌株对辣椒炭疽病果实的防治效果，测定叶片超氧化物歧化酶（superoxide dismutase，SOD)、过氧化物酶（peroxidase，POD）和过氧化氢酶（hydrogen peroxidase，CAT）活性，并探究各药剂对辣椒炭疽病病菌菌丝的细胞膜通透性、生理代谢和菌丝形态的影响。结果显示，Y-S-Y12菌株发酵浓缩液和生物质热解液以1∶9混配具有明显的协同增效作用;混配的防效显著高于单剂，防效达到79.62%，进一步说明混配具有增效作用。混剂处理的辣椒炭疽病菌菌丝中的几丁质酶活性、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性和蛋白酶活性显著高于对照和单剂处理，处理后菌体的保护屏障被打破，使培养液的电导率、外渗液中蛋白质和核酸含量上升。混剂处理的辣椒叶片中SOD、POD、CAT酶活性显著高于对照和单剂处理，说明辣椒植株抗病性增强。综上，Y-S-Y12菌株发酵液和生物质热解液混配对辣椒炭疽病有协同防病作用，可能是因为Y-S-Y12菌株具有破坏辣椒炭疽病菌菌丝和诱导辣椒植株抗病性作用。研究为辣椒炭疽病无公害防治提供理论依据。     

豆-禾混播草地中紫花苜蓿比例对其固氮效率的影响及潜在生理机制

【目的】 通过研究豆草比例对紫花苜蓿-羊草混播草地豆科植物生物固氮的影响及其生理生态机制,深化对混播群落结构和生物固氮功能关系的理解,辅助豆-禾混播草地的科学建植和管理,提高混播草地生物固氮和土壤肥力,提升草地资源生产和生态保障能力。【方法】 2017年5月,利用紫花苜蓿和羊草为试验材料,采取随机区组设计,于中国科学院长岭草地农牧生态研究站内建植不同豆草比例（紫花苜蓿占比为25%、50%、75%、100%）的紫花苜蓿-羊草混播草地,4次重复。建植一年后,通过样方取样法调查混播草地群落结构变化,测定紫花苜蓿叶片、枝条和根系生长发育、光合和水分等生理代谢特征,在测定根系结瘤特征基础上,采取¹⁵N同位素自然丰度法评估紫花苜蓿固氮效率,结合土壤水分动态监测,分析豆草比例对紫花苜蓿生物固氮的影响及其生理生态机制。【结果】 （1）混播草地建植一年后,对应25%、50%、75% 和100%设计的豆草混播比例,混播草地实际紫花苜蓿占比分别为11%、27%、53%和100%。（2）对比25%、75%和100%的初始豆草种植比例,50%的初始豆草比例下,生长季平均土壤水分含量分别增加了21.4%、36.4%和51.7%。（3）50%豆草种植比例下,紫花苜蓿植株有更大的枝条和根系生物量、叶片数量、叶片面积、叶片厚度和叶片生物量,上述指标最小值出现在100%的豆草播种比例。（4）50%豆草种植比例下,紫花苜蓿具有最大的光合速率,枝条和根系中淀粉含量最高,但枝条和根系中可溶性糖含量最低。（5）50%的初始豆草混播比例下,紫花苜蓿根瘤发育更完善,其生物固氮率较25%、75%和100%的豆草混播比例分别提高了13.5%、44.6%和79.2%。回归分析表明,随豆草比例变化,紫花苜蓿生物固氮效率与土壤含水量呈正相关。【结论】 紫花苜蓿-羊草混播草地中,紫花苜蓿生物固氮能力与豆草比例间存在非直线型变化关系。当初始豆草种植比例为50%时,紫花苜蓿生物固氮率最大。豆草比例驱动土壤水分变化,进而通过调控叶片发育和光合等途径改变了紫花苜蓿植株和根瘤发育,是其影响生物固氮的潜在机制。     

Silage and total mixed ration hygienic quality on commercial farms: implications for animal production

Implications of silage hygienic quality for animal production were investigated on forty‐five dairy farms in South West England. Samples of grass and maize silages and of total mixed rations (TMR) were obtained together with information on silage technology, herd size and animal production. Samples were analysed for mycotoxins, bacteria, yeasts, moulds and chemical composition. Thirteen mycotoxins were assayed, but none were detected in the samples of grass silage. However, mycotoxins were found in 0·9 of all maize and other silage samples, with deoxynivalenol and zearalenone predominating. There was no relationship between total mycotoxin concentration and mean lactation milk yield per cow. Enterobacteria counts tended to be higher in maize silage than in grass silage and higher still in TMR – a cause for concern. There were no relationships between mould counts and mycotoxin concentrations in silages, implying that mycotoxins may have been produced in the field pre‐ensiling.     

Drivers of Setaria pumila (Poir.) Roem. et Schult growth and impact on forage quality in lowland Switzerland meadows

Invasive grasses (especially Setaria pumila (Poir.) Roem. et Schult) increasingly threaten meadows and pastures as a consequence of human impact and climate change. We conducted a study in 2012 and in 2013 to better understand the growing cycle and the influence of S. pumila on forage quality of lowland meadows. We observed a rapid increase of S. pumila presence and phytomass on the southern side of the Alps across the growing season. We measured (i) above‐ground phytomass, with a modified Corral‐Fenlon method; (ii) botanical composition using the linear point quadrat method; and (iii) grassland chemical composition by NIRs (near‐infrared spectroscopy) analyses. To test the hypothesis that S. pumila summer growth is related to specific climatic conditions, meteorological data (temperature, precipitation and evapotranspiration) were collected from meteorological stations near the study sites. Total phytomass was sorted into S. pumila and other species. We used a generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) and found the abundance of S. pumila to be inversely correlated with rainfall and the presence of other species, but positively correlated with temperature increase. The increase of S. pumila above‐ground phytomass production was linked to a reduction of forage quality.     

Linking small pelagic fish and cetacean distribution to model suitable habitat for coastal dolphin species,Delphinus delphis and Tursiops truncatus,in the Greek Seas (Eastern Mediterranean)

1. A large‐scale assessment of the summertime suitable habitat for Delphinus delphis (short‐beaked common dolphin) and Tursiops truncatus (common bottlenose dolphin) in Greek Seas (Eastern Mediterranean) was conducted using data from dedicated and opportunistic cetacean surveys and published data records.
2. Using a presence/absence approach, generalized additive models were applied to define a suite of environmental, bathymetric and biotic factors that best describe common and bottlenose dolphin spatial distribution, during early (May, June, July) and late (August, September) summer.
3. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to integrate sightings data with environmental characteristics, distance from the coast and sardine probability of presence. These variables were considered as good proxies for defining species‐suitable habitat within the study area's coastal environment.
4. The final selected models were used to produce annual probability maps of the presence of the species in the entire Greek Seas, as a measure of habitat suitability. Based on the mean probability and standard deviation maps for the study period GIS techniques were subsequently used to determine the persistent (areas with high mean and low variation) and occasional (high mean and high variation) habitat of each species.
5. Results showed that there was a high probability of common dolphin presence in areas with a high probability of sardine presence. For bottlenose dolphin, higher probability of the presence of species occurred in areas closer to the shore, with a high probability of sardine presence and with high concentrations of chlorophyll‐a.
6. In both seasons, the North Aegean Sea and the Inner Ionian Sea Archipelago were indicated as the most suitable areas for common dolphin distribution. Persistent habitat areas of the bottlenose dolphin included enclosed seas, continental shelf waters, and waters surrounding islands. The indicated suitable areas are discussed along with deficiencies of the models and future implications for conservation.
