Responses of subshrub sagebrush rangeland in North-Western China to changes in livestock numbers and rainfall over 10 years (2004–2013)

Seriphidium transiliense, or subshrub sagebrush, is one of the most important forage resources for livestock in many arid lands, but such resources have been threatened by overgrazing for a long time. A 2013 vegetation survey of an original sagebrush rangeland (2400?ha) in the Tianshan Mountains revealed that nearly half of the area once under sagebrush has been replaced by annual species. This is due to the continual and rapid increase in livestock numbers over the past 30?years. Three smaller sites with different grazing scenarios: no grazing (Site N), a decline (Site 1), and an increase (Site 2) in livestock numbers, were selected to monitor recent changes (from 2004 to 2013) in vegetation biomass and the degree of dominance by sagebrush. Supplanting happened at Site 2 but little occurred at Site 1. There were significant differences between Site 2 and Site 1 in standing biomass in Spring and Summer, but no significant differences in Summer between Site 1 and Site N. The supplanting of sagebrush marks the completion of a dynamic process – in which rainfall plays a crucial role – of damage to sagebrush from heavy grazing in drought years and its rehabilitation by light grazing in some good years. Plant biomass loss was greatest when the land was first subjected to heavy grazing. Sagebrush tends to exist as a sole-dominant species rather than a companion species in sagebrush communities. This suggests that sagebrush continued to survive in pockets where grazing pressure had declined.     

腰带长体茧蜂对亚洲玉米螟幼虫的寄生功能反应

为评估腰带长体茧蜂Macrocentrus cingulum对亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis的控害潜能，在实验室条件下（湿度60%~80%，光周期16L：8D）研究了20、24、28、32℃下腰带长体茧蜂对亚洲玉米螟幼虫的寄生功能反应和20、24、28℃下腰带长体茧蜂的自身密度干扰效应。结果表明：在20~32℃内，腰带长体茧蜂对亚洲玉米螟的寄生功能反应均符合Holling Ⅱ型；相同温度下，随着寄主亚洲玉米螟密度的增加，腰带长体茧蜂寄生量增加，但当寄主密度增加到一定数量后，寄生量趋于稳定。24℃的寄生效能最大，20℃最小。随着寄主亚洲玉米螟密度和腰带长体茧蜂密度的增加，搜寻效应逐渐降低。采用Hessell干扰模型，发现28℃时的搜寻常数Q和干扰效应m均为最大，腰带长体茧蜂个体间的干扰效应降低了其寄生效能。     

小花蝽在不同植物上的种群密度

2010―2016年通过人工栽培小区试验，系统调查了33科152种植物上小花蝽复合种群发生动态。多年调查结果表明：除黄柴胡外，其余151种植物上均有小花蝽发生，但小花蝽的种群密度在不同调查年度的植物种类上差异较大。小花蝽种群发生密度最高的植物是蓝蓟，其次是芥菜、硫华菊、荞麦、紫花苜蓿、红麻、陆地棉等有大量蚜虫及开花周期较长的植物。本研究明确了农田生境中小花蝽发生密度较高的候选功能植物，为下一步利用植物多样性促进农田小花蝽种群的保育及控害功能提供科学依据。     

花生田施用绿僵菌对土壤微生物群落的影响

昆虫病原真菌绿僵菌对地下害虫防治具有良好应用前景，而大量释放绿僵菌可能引起土著微生物群落变化，从而影响其植物保护的综合效果。本文研究了花生播种期施用绿僵菌后，在根际和根围土壤中绿僵菌自身种群及土著细菌、真菌和放线菌种群的消长和群落结构变化。结果表明，绿僵菌种群在30 d内快速下降，之后降速减缓，以低密度持续存活。随花生生长，土壤微生物自身有消长过程，施用绿僵菌对放线菌影响最大、真菌其次、细菌最小，在根际的影响大于在根围的影响。分别地，绿僵菌处理对根际和根围细菌、根围真菌无显著影响；使根际真菌种群初期的下降速度减缓，到达谷底时间由15 d推迟到30 d，但回升速度加快，达峰顶由60 d提前到45 d，峰值降低1/3；绿僵菌明显抑制了根际放线菌种群，使其消长变化周期与对照完全相反，且45 d时回落至低点后不再回升；绿僵菌减缓了根围放线菌种群下降，使达谷底时间由30 d推迟到45 d，且回升幅度减小。土壤微生物群落结构在施菌后15～30 d的幼苗至初花期有明显变化，细菌种群总体占比显著下降，但与对照相比，施菌后的根际细菌占比提高，真菌占比下降，放线菌占比显著地先抑后扬。在根围的变化相对较小。45 d即盛花期后，三类微生物结构逐渐恢复趋近原来状态。

Variability in seedling emergence for European and North American populations of Abutilon theophrasti

Abutilon theophrasti is a weed that is spreading worldwide and that has had to adapt to different combinations of environmental conditions. Wide interpopulation variability has been reported regarding dormancy and germination. This variability, controlled by the interaction of genetic diversity and maternal effect, could hinder the adoption of Integrated Weed Management (IWM) tools. A collaborative project was conducted to compare emergence dynamics of 12 European and North American populations under diverse environmental conditions. The main aim was to assess interpopulation variability and explain this according to environmental conditions in the seed collection sites. Seeds were sown at six experimental sites, and seedling emergence was monitored. The AlertInf model was tested to evaluate its ability to predict emergence dynamics of the different populations. A wide interpopulation variability was observed for emergence percentage and dynamics with consistent trends across sites and related to different seed dormancy levels. Populations from Catalonia, Iowa and Minnesota reached higher emergence percentage with earlier and concentrated emergence flushes probably due to low dormancy level, while populations from Croatia, Serbia and Hungary, given their low average emergence percentage, presented high dormancy levels. Good predictive accuracy of AlertInf model was obtained at the different sites, confirming the possibility of adopting it across a wide range of environmental conditions. Achieving a better knowledge of interpopulation variability can allow specific control strategies to be designed, facilitating the replacement of solely herbicide‐based management with true IWM.
