巴山山地退耕地植被自然恢复过程及物种多样性变化

 巴山山地是我国南北方过渡地区,亦是长江重要的水源涵养区,探讨该地区退耕地植被自然恢复演替过程及其物种多样性的变化规律,对于指导该地区的人工植被建设具有重要的理论价值与实际意义。采用时空互代法对巴山山地退耕地植被自然恢复过程及其物种多样性变化进行研究,结果表明:1)巴山山地退耕地植被演替依次经过1年生植被草本群落、多年生草本群落、杂灌草群落及以栓皮栎、橿子栎或栓皮栎为建群种的阔叶林群落等不同阶段,形成地带性植物群落大致需要40～50a;2)物种多样性会随立地环境的变化有所差异,阴坡的各物种多样性指标明显高于阳坡,但其变化规律基本一致。演替初期,植被群落的物种数、Shannon-wiener指数、Simpson指数和Pielou指数相对较低,随着植被群落演替的进行,各指标均呈波浪上升趋势;当植被恢复25a时,各多样性指数均达到最大,分别为23、2.5、0.89和0.8;到地带性植物群落阶段时,其各物种多样性指标又略有降低并趋于稳定。该结论对于充分利用植被自然恢复进行生态改善,并根据植被演替进程采取相应的人工管理措施具有重要的指导意义。

以侵蚀环境不同退耕撂荒年限样地为研究对象,采用空间代替时间序列的方法调查植物群落特征,分析植物恢复过程。结果表明：植物群落覆盖度和地上生物量随退耕撂荒年限的增加,恢复演替的推进逐渐增大;群落物种多样性指数与撂荒年限呈正相关,而群落优势度指数与撂荒年限呈负相关;物种多样性指数能极好地反映群落物种丰富度,并能客观表达物种的动态变化,其演变呈升—降—升的趋势,退耕撂荒3、10和25 a左右时为物种多样性指数的高峰。植物群落结构稳定性与物种多样性、群落生物量、覆盖度和优势度关系密切,随着退耕撂荒地植被恢复演替的进展,植被结构稳定性呈阶梯式增强,从而为侵蚀环境生态恢复提供了基础保障。     

金尾矿废弃地不同植被恢复阶段物种多样性与土壤特性的演变

为探寻矿山废弃地植被恢复过程中植被和土壤的演替规律及物种多样性与土壤因子间的关系,以福建紫金山金尾矿废弃地为研究对象,采用空间代替时间序列的方法,对不同植被恢复阶段植物群落的物种多样性和土壤理化性质进行调查研究,并与未被破坏的自然植物群落和植被恢复前的裸尾矿进行比较分析。结果表明:(1)植被恢复能有效提高群落物种多样性,且随群落演替的进行呈上升趋势,不同植被恢复阶段的群落乔木层物种多样性明显低于灌木层和草本层,物种α多样性指数呈现相似的变化趋势;(2)植被恢复能有效改善土壤理化性质,不同植被恢复阶段的土壤容重和pH值随着恢复年限的增加而降低,土壤持水量和孔隙度逐渐提升,最大持水量和总孔隙度在恢复到11a时达到最大,相对于裸尾矿分别提高了112.91%和95.31%,有机质含量显著提高,是裸尾矿的1.99~23.30倍,养分含量逐渐增大,其中全磷和速效磷含量呈现先增加后降低的变化趋势;(3)相关性分析结果表明:植被恢复过程中物种多样性与土壤理化因子间具有明显的相关性,物种多样性与土壤养分含量呈现相似的变化趋势,植被的恢复不断改善着土壤理化性质,土壤肥力不断提高,而土壤理化性质的改善又促进了植物群落的发育和恢复发展。     

晋西黄土区极陡坡植物群落特征及自然恢复困难度分析

为了解黄土沟壑区极陡坡承载的植被类型及植被自然恢复状况,以晋西黄土区蔡家川流域内的极陡坡为研究对象,采用时空互代的方法研究了群落物种组成及多样性的时空变化,并对演替进程中植被恢复的困难程度进行评价。结果表明:晋西黄土沟壑区内极陡坡的主要植被类型为灌木和草本,随着演替阶段由稀疏灌木及草坡群落向乔灌草群落的递进,群落物种丰富度提高,物种组成更为均衡,多样性水平随演替进程先增加后略减,有利于群落朝着更为稳定的方向发展。方差分析结果表明,35°~55°极陡坡之间植被多样性整体差异不显著(P0.05),均一性较高,55°以上的地形植被分异明显。运用因子分析综合评价的方法,可将植被自然恢复困难程度划分为容易恢复、一般、较难、极困难恢复4个等级,一般和容易恢复的样地可采取自然修复的方式恢复植被,而对于较难和极困难恢复的样地,则应采取相关人工促进恢复措施,才有可能取得植被恢复的成效。     

晋西黄土区蔡家川封禁流域植被演替规律

黄土高原地区由于强烈的水土流失,生态系统处于极度退化的状态,探讨该地区植被自然恢复演替过程中植物多样性的变化规律,对于指导该地区的人工植被建设具有重要的理论价值与实际意义。采用样线与样方相结合的方法,对晋西黄土区蔡家川封禁流域植被的自然恢复及分布规律进行调查;采用聚类分析和演替分析方法,研究了该流域植物群落类型与演替过程。研究结果表明,随着植物群落的演替,流域植被总的覆盖度大幅度增加,物种多样性增加,流域现为该地区的顶级群落-以油松为建群种的植物群丛所占据。     

黄土丘陵区典型草地演替中植物群落特征与土壤储水量关系

[目的]阐明草地植被演替过程中植被生产力、植物多样性等生态学特征与土壤储水量的关系,为探明黄土高原地区植被恢复的生态环境效应提供一定的科学依据。[方法]采用时空互代的方法对宁夏回族自治区固原市云雾山保护区自然恢复3,8,13,46,66,89a的样地进行取样,分析0—100cm土层土壤储水量的分布及其与地上地下植物生物量、物种多样性的关系。[结果]随着草地演替的进行,植被群落盖度、生物量和物种多样性指数在恢复13a之前显著增加,之后渐趋稳定;土壤含水量逐渐增加,容重逐渐降低。植被群落演替对0—40cm土层土壤储水量没有显著影响,但演替后期对40cm以下土层水分有明显消耗。植被群落生物量及物种多样性指标与表层0—10cm水分呈显著正相关。[结论]草地演替过程中,植被群落生物量和物种多样性的增加与表层土壤储水能力的提升密切相关,但深层根系生物量的增加对下层土壤储水的消耗也逐渐增大。     

天津地区湿地土壤种子库及其在受限空间中的植被演替研究

湿地土壤种子库运用对植被恢复的研究具有重要意义。从植被演替的角度出发,设置相对封闭的受限空间,持续监测土壤种子库萌发及其后续植物群落的演替情况,记录物种组成、群落多样性指数和群落覆盖度等参数的变化规律,评估了采用湿地土壤种子库进行植被恢复的效果。并对地面植被、土壤种子库及其演替植被的群落相似性指数进行了对比分析。结果发现:(1)土壤种子库恢复后期的植被与地面植被相似度较低(小于0.25);(2)植被恢复过程中,群落多样性指数呈现先降低后升高的趋势,而恢复3a后的植被群落多样性指数均接近于地面植被;(3)生长期的群落覆盖度高于90%,能够满足天津地区滨海盐碱型湿地植被恢复的要求。     

金尾矿废弃地不同植被恢复模式群落特征

为探讨矿山废弃地不同植被恢复模式的植被特征和物种多样性,以福建紫金山金矿废弃地为研究对象,对6种不同植被恢复模式群落的结构特征和数量组成进行样方调查,统计分析了不同植被恢复模式群落的物种组成、重要值和物种多样性,并与未被破坏的自然植物群落进行了比较分析。结果表明:人工植被恢复群落的丰富度指数、多样性指数和优势度指数呈现出相同的变化趋势。植被恢复9a后,人工植被恢复群落物种组成仍以草本植物为主,五节芒、藿香蓟、艾草、三叶鬼针草和柳叶箬对废弃地有较强的适应能力,可作为乔、灌、草相结合治理模式的配置草种。不同植被恢复模式的群落特征和物种多样性存在差异,马尾松—枫香—本地河滩草模式物种多样性较高,植被恢复效果较好,其次为马尾松—邓恩桉—本地河滩草模式,马尾松—樟树—胡枝子—本地河滩草模式的植被恢复效果不明显。     

Accumulation of copper in soils and leaves of tomato plants in greenhouses in Turkey

Copper (Cu)‐containing fertilizers, fungicides, and bactericides has been used extensively in the greenhouses in the Antalya province in recent decades with the use of such materials tending to increase year by year. The level of DTPA‐extractable Cu was determined in 210 soils (0–20 and 20–40 cm depth) and 105 leaf samples obtained from 105 tomato greenhouses. The DTPA‐extractable Cu contents of the soils taken from the 0–20 depth ranged between 0.76 and 88.03 mg kg^‐1 (mean 7.79 mg kg^‐1). The percentage of soils containing DTPA‐extractable Cu greater than the critical toxicity level (20 mg kg^‐1) was 8.1. The Cu content of tomato leaf samples ranged between 2.4 and 1,490 mg kg^‐1 (mean 166.5 mg kg^‐1). The Cu concentration in leaf samples was very high due to the intensive use of foliar applied Cu‐containing chemicals. As a consequence, 24.8% of the leaf tomato samples analyzed contained over 200 mg Cu kg^‐1, the maximum accepted tolerance level. Therefore, it may be necessary to reduce the use of Cu‐containing pesticides and fertilizers, or at least reduce the amount of Cu‐containing fertilizers being used in those greenhouses where Cu‐containing pesticides have been or are being used.     

Role of selenium in mitigation of cadmium toxicity in pepper grown in hydroponic condition

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for humans but is not considered as essential for plants. However, its beneficial role in improving plant growth and stress tolerances is well established. In order to study the role of Se in cadmium (Cd) toxicity in pepper (Capsicum frutescens cv. Suryankhi Cluster), this experiment was carried out in greenhouse conditions. Treatments comprised Cd [0, 0.25, and 0.5 mM cadmium chloride (CdCl₂)] and Se [0, 3, and 7 µM sodium selenite (Na₂SeO₃)] with three replications. The result showed that Cd decreased chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids, whereas Se supplementation diminished Cd toxicity on photosynthetic pigment. Selenium at 7 µM significantly increased the leaf area in the plants grown at 0.25 mM Cd. The application of Se at 3 µM with 0.25 mM Cd and Se at 3 µM and Se at 7 µM with 0.5 mM Cd increased the activity of catalase (CAT). Selenium at 7 µM decreased the proline content of pepper leaves exposed to Cd at 0.5 mM (30%). Selenium significantly enhanced the antioxidant activity of leaves, which was diminished by Cd toxicity. In general, Se has a beneficial effect on plant growth and is an antioxidant enzyme of pepper cv. Suryankhi Cluster under Cd stress and non-stress conditions.     

红壤区不同肥力水稻土根际硝化作用特征

通过根际培养箱(三室)——速冻切片技术研究了红壤地区高、低两种肥力下水稻苗期根表、根际和土体土壤矿质态氮含量和硝化强度,以及水稻生长、氮素积累的差异。结果表明,肥力水平对水稻根表和根际土壤铵态氮(NH4+-N)含量无显著影响,但高肥力显著提高土体土壤NH4+-N含量,以及根表、根际和土体土壤硝态氮(NO3--N)含量及硝化强度。两种肥力水稻土硝化强度最大值均出现在距根表2 mm处,分别为0.20和0.31μmol kg-1 h-1。土体土壤硝化强度随距根表距离增加而降低,低肥力土壤在距根表10～40mm处时硝化强度接近本底值,而高肥力土壤在距根表20～40 mm处时接近本底值。与不种水稻的CK相比,种植水稻显著提高根际土壤硝化强度。高肥力能显著改善水稻生长,增加植株氮素积累量,尤其显著促进根系生长及通气组织发育。由于红壤稻田肥力水平的差异造成水稻根际硝化强度以及水稻吸收NO3-的差异,导致高肥条件下水稻显示出更强的生长势和氮素吸收利用能力。因此,合理提高红壤稻田肥力水平对改善红壤区水稻根际土壤硝化作用及水稻氮素营养具有重要意义。

Occurrence of Sexual Hormones in Sediments of Mangrove in Brazil

The presence of sexual hormones (female estrogens) was assessed in sediments of a mangrove located in the urban region of southern Brazil. The estrogens are involved in human sexual reproduction. They act as the chemical messengers, and they are classified as natural and synthetic. The estrogens inputs in the environment are from treated and untreated sewage. The presence of estrogens in sewage is excretion from the female due to natural production and use of contraceptives (synthetic estrogens). With the indiscriminate release of sewage into the environment, estrogens can be found in rivers, lakes, and even in oceans. In this work, the presence of estrone (E1), 17-??-estradiol (E2), and 17-??-ethynilestradiol (EE2) in eight sedimentary stations in Itacorubi mangrove located on Santa Catarina Island, south Brazil, was investigated. Historically, the Itacorubi mangrove has been impacted by anthropogenic activities because the mangrove is inserted in the urban area of the Florianopolis. The estrogen EE2, used as contraceptive, had the highest concentration in mangrove sediment, 129.75?±?3.89 ng/g. E2 was also found, with its concentration ranging from 0.90?±?0.03 to 39.77?±?1.19 ng/g. Following the mechanism, under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, E2 will first be oxidized to E1, which is further oxidized to unknown metabolites and finally to CO₂ and water (mineralized). EE2 is oxidized to unknown metabolites and also finally mineralized. Theoretically, under anaerobic conditions, EE2 can be reduced to E1 even in environments such as mangrove which is essentially anaerobic.     

Meta-analysis in the Selection of Groups in Varieties of Citrus

Brazil is the largest producer of oranges (Citrus sinensis) in the world. The nutrient management of tree orchards is designed from experiments with a limited number of varieties. This knowledge is transferred to other varieties by diagnosing tissue nutrient composition and tree demand. Compositional data analysis has been first applied to tissue analysis of agricultural crops using centered log ratios with compositional nutrient diagnosis (CND-clr). The isometric log ratio (ilr) transformation is a new approach based on binary nutrient ratios and the principle of orthogonality (CND-ilr). We analyzed eleven nutrients: nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), boron (B), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) in leaf tissue samples across 108 commercial plots (thirty-one grow Valencia, twenty-two Hamlim, twenty Pera, and thirty-five Natal). Nutrients were partitioned between macro- and micronutrients as well as anionic and cationic species. The effect size of varieties over Valencia was quantified by the mean and standard deviation of ilr values across ilr coordinates. Specific varietal nutrient profiles and ilr norms were defined. The nutrient profile of orange varieties could be classified into homogeneous groups to take advantage of fertilizer trials conducted on varieties of the same group. The Aitchison distance and a perturbation vector could be instrumental for diagnostic purposes and nutrient management.     

Effect of iron-quercetin complex on reduction of nitrite in in vitro and in vivo systems

This study investigated whether reducing agents such as quercetin and iron(II) facilitate formation of nitric oxide (NO) gas from orally ingested nitrite in an vivo study. When 3 mg/kg Na (15)NO2 was orally administered to rats with or without iron(II) or quercetin, Hb (15)NO, which is indicative of systemic (15)NO, was detected in the blood, with the maximum blood concentration of Hb (15)NO at 15 min after nitrite or nitrite plus quercetin treatment, whereas after administration of nitrite plus iron(II) or nitrite plus iron(II) and quercetin, the time was shortened to 10 min. Interestingly, iron(II), quercetin, or iron(II) plus quercetin did not affect the total amount of Hb (15)NO generated from orally administered Na (15)NO2. However, the systemic nitrite concentration was significantly decreased in the presence of iron(II) or iron(II) plus quercetin. These results may indicate that iron(II) is critical to the generation of NO gas from nitrite, whereas quercetin contributed little under the in vivo experimental conditions.

Role of aldehyde oxidase in the hepatic in vitro metabolism of 3-methylindole in pigs

The metabolism of 3-hydroxy-3-methylindolenine (HMI), a recently discovered metabolite of 3-methylindole (3MI, skatole) produced by porcine liver microsomes, was investigated in vitro using porcine liver cytosol. HMI was rapidly metabolized to a single product, 3-hydroxy-3-methyloxindole (HMOI), by porcine cytosol. By the use of the selective inhibitors menadione and quinacrine, it was shown that the enzyme responsible for the oxidation of HMI into HMOI was aldehyde oxidase (AO; aldehyde:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.3.1). The activity of AO in the conversion of HMI to HMOI was measured in a population of pigs (n = 30) with a wide range of 3MI levels in back fat (0.07-0.30 mg/kg). AO activity was found to be negatively correlated (r = -0.70; P < 0.001) with the level of 3MI in fat. The results of the present study suggest that AO plays an important role in the metabolism of 3MI in the pig and that its catalytic activity is related to an adequate 3MI clearance.
