Effect of farm management on topsoil organic carbon and aggregate stability in water: A case study from Southwest England,UK

There are few reliable data sets to inspire confidence in policymakers that soil organic carbon (SOC) can be measured on farms. We worked with farmers in the Tamar Valley region of southwest England to select sampling sites under similar conditions (soil type, aspect and slope) and management types. Topsoils (2–15 cm) were sampled in autumn 2015, and percentage soil organic matter (%SOM) was determined by loss on ignition and used to calculate %SOC. We also used the stability of macroaggregates in cold water (WSA) (‘soil slaking’) as a measure of ‘soil health’ and investigated its relationship with SOC in the clay‐rich soils. %SOM was significantly different between management types in the order woodland (11.1%) = permanent pasture (9.5%) > ley‐arable rotation (7.7%) = arable (7.3%). This related directly to SOC stocks that were larger in fields under permanent pasture and woodland compared with those under arable or ley‐arable rotation whether corrected for clay content (F = 8.500, p < .0001) or not (F = 8.516, p < .0001). WSA scores were strongly correlated with SOC content whether corrected for clay content (SOC_adj R² = .571, p < .0001) or not (SOC_unadj R² = 0.490, p = .002). Time since tillage controlled SOC stocks and WSA scores, accounting for 75.5% and 51.3% of the total variation, respectively. We conclude that (1) SOC can be reliably measured in farmed soils using accepted protocols and related to land management and (2) WSA scores can be rapidly measured in clay soils and related to SOC stocks and soil management.     

青藏高原地区积雪变化及特征分析

利用我国高原地区1963-2002年的逐月积雪日数资料,以及1972-2011年的格点积雪月频率资料,分析、对比了两种资料在该地区的时空演变特征。结果表明：同时段的(1972-2002)站点资料与格点资料相比,空间分布其高值区与积雪日数增值区均偏西北,偏北程度大致为3~4°,偏西程度大致为2~3°,且中心更为明显。在青藏高原西侧(85°E以西),积雪日数呈整体下降趋势。两种资料的积雪日数EOF分析存在一定的偏差,这与其对应的空间分布差异及气候趋势空间分布存在的偏差相吻合。     

The Identification of QTL Associated with Cotton Fruit Branch Length Suitable for Mechanized Harvest Utilizing BSA-seq

[Objective] This study aims to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with cotton fruit branch length by using the combination of bulked-segregant analysis (BSA) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. [Method] In this study, the cotton F₂ segregating population was developed with the short branch line Sujimian 125 and long-branch variety Sikang 1 as cross parents. According to the average internode length of fruit branches in middle, extreme individuals in F₂ population were divided into two groups to generate the bulked DNA samples. The whole-genome resequencing of two DNA bulks was applied to analyze the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and insertion-deletion (InDel) between two groups, and the fruit branch internode length related QTLs were detected using Euclidean distance (ED). [Result] With SNP data obtained from sequencing, a 0.8 Mbp range associated region on chromosome A3 was identified; with InDel data obtained from sequencing, a 1.09 Mbp range associated region on chromosome A3 was identified. Two regions overlapped, and the overlapped range was 0.77 Mbp. [Conclusion] This result suggested that the difference between I-type fruit branch and zero-type was due to different genetic locus and pattern rather than dosage effect of the same gene.     

21世纪以来河南省植被覆盖变化及气候驱动解析

借助MODIS NDVI数据和气象插值数据,采用一元线性回归、Hurst指数及相关分析等方法,从年际尺度探讨河南省21世纪以来植被覆盖时空变化规律,并分析其对气候因素的响应特征。结果表明:河南省植被覆盖区域差异较大,NDVI频度呈单峰结构;近16年来,河南省大部分地区植被覆盖呈现增加趋势,10年平均增速约为4%(P0.01),且阶段性明显;河南省植被变化的同向特征强于反向特征,植被覆盖整体上呈持续改善态势,但郑州、洛阳、焦作等市域局部地区存在持续减小现象;年平均温度的上升是平原区植被覆盖增加的主要驱动因子,但升温尤其是年平均最高温度增加抑制了山区植被生长,植被覆盖对气候因子的敏感程度地域异质性明显。

入射角度对气力射播小麦种粒入土参数影响的试验研究

针对稻麦轮作区黏湿土壤条件下的小麦机械化播种,为避免传统接触式小麦播种技术存在的粘附堵塞严重和作业阻力、功耗大等问题,该文采用非接触式小麦气力射播技术理论,通过自制的小麦气力射播试验台,开展整洁种床土壤条件下入射角度对气力射播小麦种粒入土参数影响的试验研究。试验结果表明:随着入射角度的增加,相同加速气压下小麦种粒的射播速度垂直分量和射播深度不断增加,小麦种粒触土后产生水平滑移和弹跳的几率变小,且各入射角度下射播深度与射播速度呈正相关关系,不同入射角度下小麦种粒呈现出不同射播深度和土壤冲击效果,小麦种粒未产生损坏情况;当入射角度≥45°和射播速度垂直分量≥25 m/s时,小麦种粒可被完全射播入土壤中且出苗率大于86%,90°入射角度下的射播效果最好。同时,为实现田间作业时小麦种粒的垂直射播入土,应使射播速度水平分量与机具作业速度相等且射播速度垂直分量≥25m/s。试验结果可为非接触式小麦射播装备的研制提供基础数据和技术支撑。

高寒湿地是青藏高原典型独特的生态系统,是全球气候变化的敏感地带和预警区。利用遥感技术快速、准确地分类提取高寒湿地的土地覆盖信息,对当地生态安全监测和保护具有重要意义。本文以若尔盖湿地国家级自然保护区为研究区,首先,以高分一号(GF-1)遥感影像为数据源,融合光谱特征、水体指数、地形特征、植被指数和纹理信息等26个变量进行随机森林(Random forest,RF)分类实验;然后,根据袋外数据(Out of bag,OOB)的特征变量重要性得分和精度评价结果,选出高寒湿地地区土地覆盖类型的最优分类方案和特征;最后,对特征变量进行降维,并基于相同的变量,采用极大似然法(Maximum likelihood classification,MLC)、支持向量机(Support vector machine,SVM)、人工神经网络(Artificial neural network,ANN)和RF等方法进行分类,比较不同方法的优适性。结果表明:结合GF-1影像光谱、水体、植被、纹理特征和地形信息,使用26个变量的RF模型的分类精度最高,总体精度(Overall accuracy,OA)为90.07%,Kappa系数为0.86;通过RF模型的变量重要性分析可以有效选出重要的特征信息,在降低特征变量维度的同时,还能保证较高的分类精度; 4种分类方法中,RF算法是高寒湿地地区较合适的分类方法,OA比MLC基准方法高17.63个百分点,比SVM和ANN等机器学习算法分别高6.98、6.56个百分点。
