Comparative performance of the highly invasive Mimosa invisa and its less invasive subspecies under different nutrient and light conditions

Invasive plants may be more plastic than non‐invasive plants and maintain high fitness under various environmental conditions. Previous studies mainly focused on the comparisons between invasive and native plants, and comparisons between highly invasive and less invasive exotic species are still relatively rare, especially for comparisons at the subspecies level. This study examined the effects of nutrient addition and shading on the performance of the highly invasive Mimosa invisa and its less invasive subspecies M. invisa var. inermis under either isolated or competitive conditions. Nutrient addition increased biomass and plant height and decreased root‐to‐shoot ratio (R/S). Shading decreased biomass and R/S and increased plant height. Under isolated conditions, the two invaders did not differ in R/S, plant height and plasticity of these traits in response to nutrient addition or shading, and the two invaders also did not differ in biomass production under each of the nutrient and light treatments. When the two invaders competed with each other, M. invisa outcompeted M. invisa var. inermis under high soil nutrient conditions, and the two invaders did not differ in performance under other growth conditions. Thus, only considering competition may we find out the difference between highly invasive species and their closely related, less invasive subspecies. Management of M. invisa should focus on habitats with high soil nutrient availability, in which M. invisa is more likely to dominate.

干湿交替和外源氮对农田土壤CO2和N2O释放的影响

以黄淮海平原潮土区的砂壤土和黏壤土为研究对象,通过培养试验研究了干湿交替(干湿频率分别为0、2、6、12次)和外源氮(2种土壤中添加氮累计量均为220 mg N·100g~(-1)干土)下砂壤土和黏壤土的CO_2和N_2O释放模式的影响。结果表明,干湿交替和外加氮源显著激发了砂壤土和黏壤土的CO_2和N_2O的释放速率:干燥期越长,外加N源对土壤CO_2释放速率的激发效应越强;干燥期越短,外加N源对土壤N_2O释放速率的激发效应越强。两种土壤的CO_2和N_2O的释放速率对干湿交替的响应模式一致,砂壤土的碳氮矿化速率对干湿交替响应更为强烈,砂壤土的可溶性有机碳和无机氮(NO-3和NH+4)含量及温室气体排放速率均高于黏壤土。在外加氮源的条件下,干湿交替显著提高了砂壤土和黏壤土中可溶性有机碳和无机氮的含量,增大了实际生产中农田土壤无机氮淋失和温室气体排放的可能性。

Novel soil quality indicators for the evaluation of agricultural management practices: a biological perspective

Developments in soil biology and in methods to characterize soil organic carbon can potentially deliver novel soil quality indicators that can help identify management practices able to sustain soil productivity and environmental resilience. This work aimed at synthesizing results regarding the suitability of a range of soil biological and biochemical properties as novel soil quality indicators for agricultural management. The soil properties, selected through a published literature review, comprised different labile organic carbon fractions [hydrophilic dissolved organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, permanganate oxidizable carbon (POXC), hot water extractable carbon and particulate organic matter carbon], soil disease suppressiveness measured using a Pythium-Lepidium bioassay, nematode communities characterized by amplicon sequencing and qPCR, and microbial community level physiological profiling measured with MicroResp^TM. Prior studies tested the sensitivity of each of the novel indicators to tillage and organic matter addition in ten European long-term field experiments (LTEs) and assessed their relationships with pre-existing soil quality indicators of soil functioning. Here, the results of these previous studies are brought together and interpreted relative to each other and to the broader body of literature on soil quality assessment. Reduced tillage increased carbon availability, disease suppressiveness, nematode richness and diversity, the stability and maturity of the food web, and microbial activity and functional diversity. Organic matter addition played a weaker role in enhancing soil quality, possibly due to the range of composition of the organic matter inputs used in the LTEs. POXC was the indicator that discriminated best between soil management practices, followed by nematode indices based on functional characteristics. Structural equation modeling shows that POXC has a central role in nutrient retention/supply, carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, erosion control and disease regulation/suppression. The novel indicators proposed here have great potential to improve existing soil quality assessment schemes. Their feasibility of application is discussed and needs for future research are outlined.     

有机物-金属相互作用对重金属负载土柱中粘土矿物吸附剂再生的影响

Natural clay minerals can play an important role in crude remediation of wastewater polluted with the heavy metals (HMs) Cu,Zn and Ni.The presence and timing of addition of natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) have a significant effect on the HM removal by clay mineral sorbents.However,the influence of the presence of DOM on the remediation of the used clay mineral sorbents once saturated with HMs is largely unknown.To resolve this,clay mineral-rich soil column of varying composition,loaded (i) with Cu,Zn and Ni only,(ii) first with DOM followed by Cu,Zn and Ni,or (iii) with DOM,Cu,Zn and Ni simultaneously,was used in a set of desorption experiments.The soil columns were leached with 0.001 mol L-1 CaCl2 dissolved in water as control eluent and 0.001 mol L-1 CaCl2 dissolved in DOM as treatment eluent.During the preceding loading phase of the sorbent,the timing of DOM addition (sequential or concurrent with HMs) was found to have a significant influence on the subsequent removal of the HMs.In particular when the column was loaded with DOM and HMs simultaneously,largely irreversible co-precipitation took place.Our results indicate that the regeneration potential of clay mineral sorbents in wastewater treatment will be significantly reduced when the treated water is rich in DOM.In contrast,in manured agricultural fields (where HMs enter together with DOM),HM mobility will be lower than expected from interaction dynamics of HMs and clay minerals.     

氮、磷添加对贝加尔针茅草原凋落物分解的影响

凋落物分解是草原生态系统养分循环和能量流动的主要途径。养分是温性草原生产力主要限制因素之一。本文主要研究了养分添加对草原凋落物分解的影响,为草原生态系统养分管理和天然草地的恢复建设提供理论依据。试验以内蒙古贝加尔针茅草原为研究对象,使用网袋分解法,实验材料为贝加尔针茅(Sb)、羊草(Lc)以及冷蒿(Af)3种植物的根、茎、叶组织,设置4个处理:CK、N、P和NP(CK:不施任何肥料;N:硝酸铵;P:重过磷酸钙;NP:硝酸铵和重过磷酸钙)。结果表明,1)N、P、NP添加下,3种植物的残留率显著低于无养分添加,氮磷添加对凋落物分解有显著的促进作用。2)分解过程中,叶和根凋落物N元素前期释放,后期有轻微的富集现象,而茎凋落物呈现富集-释放-富集的模式。P元素和C元素基本呈现持续释放的模式。3)磷元素的残留率在N、P以及NP处理条件下均呈下降的趋势,与植物器官残留率的变化趋势相同。4)羊草各器官凋落物分解95%所用的时间为2.95~3.96年,贝加尔针茅为3.32~3.77年,冷蒿为2.64~4.89年。5)不同植物以及植物的不同器官凋落物分解速率对氮、磷添加的响应不同。     

Aerial drone technology can assist compliance of trap fisheries

Illegal fishing is a global issue that threatens the viability of fishing industries and biodiversity conservation. Management agencies typically use on‐ground surveillance to monitor and minimise illegal fishing practices, the efficacy of which may be enhanced by integrating emerging remote sensing technology. Affordable drones may contribute to cost‐effective detection of illegal fishing activity and associated gear, although their application has yet to be evaluated in many types of fisheries. Here, the utility of drones for the detection of crab traps and floats set in a shallow estuary was quantitatively tested, and the effects of survey altitudes, cameras and monitor screens on detection rates were determined. It was found that drone flight altitude and float colour influenced the detection rates of common crab trap floats, with infrared cameras improving the detection of floats camouflaged by black paint. However, the type of monitor screen used by the drone operator had no influence on the detection of crab traps. Overall, it appears drones can contribute to cost‐effective compliance in estuarine trap fisheries, and the approach can contribute to evidence‐based standard operating procedures.     

重金属Pb与抗生素对发光菌的联合毒性研究

重金属是水环境中的典型无机污染物,随着水体中抗生素检出率的增加,重金属和抗生素的复合污染及其效应已成为环境领域的研究热点。通过研究重金属和抗生素对发光菌的发光抑制作用,可以了解重金属和抗生素的毒性效应,为评估重金属和抗生素复合污染在水环境中的潜在风险提供理论依据。本文利用便携式急性毒性检测仪,系统研究了重金属Pb和6种抗生素(四环素、氧四环素、氯四环素、磺胺二甲基嘧啶、磺胺甲基嘧啶和磺胺嘧啶)对费氏弧菌的单一和联合急性毒性,得到了单一污染物的半数效应浓度,并对重金属Pb和抗生素所组成的二元、三元复合污染体系的联合作用进行初步探讨。研究表明,当Pb与抗生素共存时,对发光菌的急性毒性急剧上升。因此,在评价Pb与抗生素二元或多元复合污染体系的生态风险时,应考虑其联合毒性作用。
