Relating Kirtland's warbler population to changing landscape composition and structure

The population of male Kirtland's warbler (Dendroica kirtlandii) in the breeding season has averaged 206 from 1971 to 1987. The Kirtland's warbler occupies dense jack pine (Pinus banksiana) barrens from 5 to 23 years old and from 1.4 to 5.0 m high, formerly of wildfire origin. In 1984, 73% of the males censused were found in habitat naturally regenerated from wildfire or prescribed burning. The rest were in plantations (11%) or in harvested, unburned jack pine stands stocked by natural regeneration (16%). Twenty-two percent (630 of 2,886) of the Kirtland's warbler males counted in the annual censuses from 1971 through 1984 were found in 26 stands that were unburned and naturally regenerated following harvest. From 1982 to 1987, suitable regenerating areas were barely sufficient to replace currently occupied maturing stands, so population growth was impeded. Ecosystems of suitable size and regeneration characteristics (wildfire and plantation) doubled in area by 1989. In response, the population of Kirtland's warblers increased from 167 to 398 males between 1987 and 1992, but they withdrew almost entirely from the unburned, unplanted barrens by 1989 when the area of more suitable regeneration types increased. Minimum (368 males) and maximum (542 males) population estimates for 1996 were calculated based on 1984 average density (1.9 males per 40 ha) and peak population in burns (2.8 males per 40 ha).     

杉木林地套种绿肥筛选初报

收集了三十种绿肥,在杉木当年造林地上进行套种试验,根据其生长状况、生物量、覆盖度及对杉木生长的影响,把供试绿肥分成三类,初步筛选出羽扁豆、决明豆、日木草为适宜杉木林地种植的林用绿肥。同时对今后林用绿肥的选择提出了有益的建议。     

永城县土壤养分变化动态与培肥措施

对永城县1982年至1987年土壤养分变化动态进行了定点分析研究.共分析了三十个乡的257个土样。土壤有机质和氮素含量1987年比1982年相应提高25%和41.4%;而速效磷和钾则相应降低36.1%和89.9%;微量元素有效锌、硼、钼含量均属中低级水平。据此提出了相应的培肥措施.     

水土保持是山丘区经济发展的根本出路

水土保持是山丘区经济发展的根本出路肖秧（四川省人民政府，成都６１００００）四川地处长江上游，幅员辽阔，境内高山峻岭，江河纵横，是一个有一亿多人口的农业大省。由于历史原因，森林曾遭严重破坏，加之人口众多，人均耕地数量少，垦殖指数高，水土流失十分严重。遥...     

Growth,Meat Yield,and Economic Responses of Broilers Provided Three- and Four-Phase Schedules Formulated to Moderate and High Nutrient Density During a Fifty-Six-Day Production Period

This study examined growth responses and meat yield of broilers provided a 3- or 4-phase feeding schedule formulated to moderate or high nutrient density. Four dietary treatments were implemented consisting of high or moderate nutrient density diets that were provided for the duration of 3 phases (1 to 17, 18 to 35, and 36 to 56 d) or 4 phases (1 to 17, 18 to 35, 36 to 46, and 47 to 56 d).Provision of a 3-phase schedule did not alter growth performance, meat yield, or diet cost per final BW. Broilers receiving high nutrient diets had improved growth rate and feed conversion from 1 to 35 d. In the 3-phase schedule, birds given the high nutrient density diets had advantages in BW gain and pectoralis minor breast weight. Market changes in meat prices impact differences in gross feeding margins between diets formulated to high or moderate nutrient density more than variation in diet cost.     

黔中黄壤丘陵旱坡地香根草、紫穗槐的水土保持效应

通过4年连续的定点、定位试验研究，结果表明：香根草、紫穗槐生物埂保水能力在第3年后达到或超过次生植被的保水能力；香根草生物埂第2年后保水能力超过紫穗槐生物埂，第3年后无土壤侵蚀发生；紫穗槐 生物埂第2年即无土壤侵蚀发生；香根草、紫穗槐生物埂降低土壤坡度的作用非常明显；种植香根草、紫穗槐生物埂后，玉米产量呈逐年增加的趋势。该技术适宜在黔中乃至全省推广种植。     

1QJ-120型浅松机的研究设计

针对旧式浅松机表土作业中秸秆和土壤侧向位移问题,分析和优化了浅松机的技术参数,设计了一种新型的1QJ-120型浅松机。该机适用于旱作保护性耕作播前作业,能够达到除草、整地和提高地温等目的,也可以用于中耕除草作业。     

夏直播花生规范化栽培密度与氮肥优化配置研究

采用二次饱和D—最优设计建立了密度和N肥用量与夏直播花生产量的数学模型。进一步分析表明，密度与N肥用量呈负交互效应，肥料用量增加，花生密度可适当减少。密度与N肥用量的最优组合为每公顷播15．36万穴，施纯N99．6kg，最高产量可达到5527．0kg。公顷产量在4500~5527kg范围内的措施组合为：每公顷播15．O～18．7万穴，施纯N65．1～124．4kg。     

湖北省土壤各级颗粒的磁化率

本试验对湖北省六种土壤五个粒级(>1,1-0.5,0.5-0.25,0.25-0.15.0.15-0.1mm)的磁化率进行了测定。结果表明:红壤、棕红壤、潮土和黄棕壤表土层磁化率大于母质层磁化率,而紫色土和黄褐土表土层磁化率小于下部土层的磁化率。棕红壤表土层磁化率小于淀积层磁化率。红壤、棕红壤、黄棕壤和黄褐土母质层磁化率随颗粒变细而明显增加,但这一现象在潮土、紫色土的母质层确不明显。0.25-0.15mm粒级是黄棕壤、红壤、棕红壤、潮土、紫色土磁化率随颗料大小变化的一个转折点。     

测定石膏性盐渍土水溶性盐的适宜水土比

土壤水溶性盐的含量与组成随制备浸出液的水土比例不同而异,对含石膏的盐渍土测定结果的影响尤为显著。为了正确反映田间水溶性盐的实际状况,作者进行了三种不同水土比例制备浸出液的对比试验。结果表明,适宜水土比为1:1,其测出的盐分含量与饱和泥浆法按近,且操作简便、快速,在我国一般土化分析实验室均可采用。
