Effect of pruning intensities of three woody leguminous species grown in alley cropping with maize and cowpea on an alfisol

Field trials were carried out on an Oxic Paleustalf in the humid zone of southwestern Nigeria withLeucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit,Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Steud. andSesbania grandiflora (L.) Pers. alley cropped with maize and cowpea. The three leguminous woody species were grown in hedgerows spaced at 2 m. Trials were carried out one year after establishment of the hedgerows using a split-plot design with four replications. TheLeucaena trial had twenty pruning combinations consisting of five pruning heights (25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 cm) and four pruning frequencies (monthly, bi-, tri- and six-monthly). TheGliricidia andSesbania hedgerows were subjected to nine pruning intensities consisting of three pruning heights (25, 50 and 100 cm) and three pruning intensities (monthly, tri- and six-monthly). For the three woody species, biomass, dry wood and nitrogen yield from the hedgerow prunings increased with decreasing pruning frequency and increasing pruning height. Biomass, dry wood and nitrogen yields were in the following orderLeucaena >Gliricidia >Sesbania. The various pruning intensities had no effect on survival ofLeucaena plants. Pruning frequency had a larger effect than pruning height on survival ofGliricidia andSesbania plants. With monthly pruning, about 25 percent of theGliricidia and all of theSesbania plants died within six months of repeated pruning. Even with lower pruning frequencySesbania plants showed lower survival rates thanGliricidia orLeucaena. The various pruning intensities of all the hedgerow species had more pronounced effects on the grain yield of the alley cropped cowpea than on maize grain yield. Higher maize and cowpea yields were obtained with increasing pruning frequency and decreasing pruning height. IITA Journal paper number 335

西双版纳天然林保护工程的实施对制止区内的环境退化和资源危机,协调人与自然的关系具有重要的作用.在天然林保护工程的实施过程中,对区域的经济、社会和文化造成了一定的影响.为保障社区林业的可持续发展,针对天然林保护给社区带来的影响,提出了发展非木材产品,加强经济林果的发展以及营造速生丰产林和薪炭林的对策,以实现西双版纳的天然林保护和林业可持续发展.     

樟树林生态系统中多环芳烃含量和分布特征

利用气相色谱仪 (GC)对樟树林生态系统中植物体各器官和林地土壤的多环芳烃 (PAHs)进行定性和定量测定。结果表明 :乔木层樟树各器官中树皮的PAHs含量最高 ,为 86 4 1μg·kg- 1 ;树干最低 ,为 2 84 3μg·kg- 1 ;其他依次为籽实 (75 2 0 μg·kg- 1 ) >树根 (7115 μg·kg- 1 ) >树枝 (5 35 2 μg·kg- 1 ) >树叶 (4 4 81μg·kg- 1 )。樟树林生态系统中PAHs含量空间分布为 :枯枝落叶层 (92 35 μg·kg- 1 ) >乔木层 (5 995 μg·kg- 1 ) >草本层 (36 31μg·kg- 1 ) >土壤层(14 6 6 μg·kg- 1 ) >灌木层 (2 4 5 μg·kg- 1 )。与无林地土壤的PAHs含量 (3470 μg·kg- 1 )相比 ,樟树林土壤的PAHs含量低 5 0 %以上。同时 ,随大气降水进入樟树林的PAHs,经过林木的吸附和降解后 ,林内降水和地表径流的PAHs种类和含量明显减少 ,说明樟树林生态系统对PAHs具有吸附和降解作用。

营林技术决策系统的研究与开发

A set of forestation decision-making system which covers 140 tree species growing extensively in Zhejiang Province including coniferous forest, broad-leaf forest, production forest, and bamboo forest, was developed by cooperation of silvicultural techniques and computer programming based on the experience of forestry management and mathematical models. It can be easily operated to help user selecting tree species in given site types and optimize their benefits, which advances the efficiency of forestation and improves the rationality of decision-making.     

杨树对杨干象抗性选择的研究

在杨干象危害80％以上的人工杨树林内,以抗杨干象、速生等综合指标,选出了抗虫优树。对3年生优树后代室内外人工接种和自然感染的结果表明:106号优树比周围3株优势水平均胸径高9％,树高高7％,材积高61％,室内接种其诱虫数、取食孔数都低;野外接种,虫株率低40％以上,危害指数低69％;自然感染的虫株率低54％,危害指数低50％以上。优树生长量较对照原种中东杨(Populus berolinensis)高得多,但低于小黑杨(P.×xiaohei)。其抗虫性与树皮内含物果糖和酚酸含量有关。     

两株木麻黄内生菌培养条件和培养特征的比较研究*

自1978年Callaham等人首次从香蕨木(Comptonia peregrina)根瘤中成功地分离出Frankia内生菌纯培养后,许多学者已从赤杨属(Alnus)、胡颓子属(Elaeagnus)、沙棘属(Hippophae)、杨梅属(Myrica)和木麻黄属(Casuarina)等非豆科固氮树木根瘤中分离得到Frankia内生菌。但这些内生菌生长极其缓慢,这给大面积的田间应用带来许多困难。因此,作为Frankia菌应用研究的前提,需要更多地了解体外培养条件及其最适生条件。目前国内外已进行了很多这方面的研究。从已分离的内生菌株形态看,它们是极其相似的,都具有Frankia的典型特征;从培养条件看,也表现出许多共同性,但又有一些差异。本文报道了两株木麻黄内生菌培养条件和培养特征的比较结果,为Frankia内生菌应用于生产提供科学依据。     

樟树林地土壤多环芳烃的含量及其分布特征

研究樟树林地和无林地土壤中PAHs的含量和分布特征,并对两种土地类型土壤中的PAHs含量水平进行评价.结果表明:两种土地类型土壤中PAHs主要积累在0～30 cm的表土层,并随土层加深而明显减少,各土层中以高环的PAHs组分为主,PAHs主要源于燃烧源;樟树林地土壤中PAHs含量明显低于无林地,无林地表土层中PAHs含量是樟树林地表土层的1.1倍;对两种土壤中的PAHs含量水平进行评价,得知樟树林地土壤PAHs超标5种,无林地土壤不仅超标8种,且超标倍数明显大于樟树林地,樟树林地土壤的PAHs污染程度小于无林地.
