Intratree Variability of Cleavage Resistance of Chinese Fir from Plantation

INTRODUCTION Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is a very important timber species in the southern China (Shi Jisen et al. 1987). It is good, fast-growing, and exempts from serious plant diseases. Its plantation is big in terms of size in the South of China and its storage stock is very rich, which is about 20% of the national commodity wood (Zhou Shuangquan et al. 2000). And the lumber becomes mainly commercial construction materials in China because of straight grain, light and so…     

Adaptation of the LIGNUM model for simulations of growth and light response in Jack pine

LIGNUM is a whole tree model, developed for Pinus sylvestris in Finland, that combines tree metabolism with a realistic spatial distribution of morphological parts. We hypothesize that its general concepts, which include the pipe model, functional balance, yearly carbon budget, and a set of architectural growth rules, are applicable to all trees. Adaptation of the model to Pinus banksiana, a widespread species of economic importance in North America, is demonstrated.

Conversion of the model to Jack pine entailed finding new values for 16 physiological and morphological parameters, and three growth functions. Calibration of the LIGNUM Jack pine model for open grown trees up to 15 years of age was achieved by matching crown appearance and structural parameters (height, foliage biomass, aboveground biomass) with those of real trees. A sensitivity study indicated that uncertainty in the photosynthesis and respiration parameters will primarily cause changes to the net annual carbon gain, which can be corrected through calibration of the growth rate. The effect of a decrease in light level on height, biomass, total tree branch length, and productivity were simulated and compared with field data. Additional studies yielded insight into branch pruning, carbon allocation patterns, crown structure, and carbon stress. We discuss the value of the LIGNUM model as a tool for understanding tree growth and survival dynamics in natural and managed forests.

实施森林分类经营、分类管理的改革,对缓解当前人口、资源、环境的矛盾有着十分重要的现实意义。森林分类是基础,经营是手段,提高森林的总量和综合效益是目的。通过调整采伐政策,分区实施,以实现对森林的有效经营管理,达到扩大森林总量、提高森林质量的目的。     

燃煤烟气脱硫副产物对桉树生长影响的研究

通过盆栽和大田试验,探讨脱硫副产物及以其为原料制作的土壤调理剂对提高桉树生长量的作用,结果表明:(1)适量施用脱硫副产物可有效提高桉树生长量,将其制作成土壤调理剂施用,可进一步提高产量。(2)供试物量过高或过低会导致肥效下降而引起桉树生长量下降。(3)适量施用供试物可有效防治因桉树微量元素供应不足导致的缺素垂梢病。

黄龙山林区主要树种的树高与胸径关系的分析

利用森林资源“二类调查”的1087个角规样点的角规控制胸径检尺调查资料，分别对油松林、栎类林、白桦林、山杨林及硬阔林、软阔林的平均树高和平均胸径的关系进行回归分析。结果表明，各树种林分平均高与胸径之间存在着显著的相关关系，即：H＝a b lnD、H＝a bD且相关紧密。在黄龙山林区用胸径估测平均树高，对于森林资源清查和育林作业设计具有十分重要的意义。     

Ba(OH)_2加入温度对酚醛树脂胶黏剂性能的影响

采用Ba(OH)_2和NaOH复合催化剂,通过两步甲醛加入法工艺制备酚醛树脂胶黏剂。考察了Ba(OH)_2加入温度对酚醛树脂颜色、黏度、水溶倍数和固化时间的影响,并采用FTIR和DSC对胶黏剂进行了表征。结果表明,随着Ba(OH)_2加入温度升高,所制得胶黏剂的黏度逐渐降低,水溶倍数逐渐增大,固化时间逐渐延长。FTIR测试结果表明,胶黏剂中高活性的邻-邻结构随着Ba(OH)_2加入温度升高而逐渐减少,这正是黏度、水溶倍数和固化时间变化的原因所在。DSC测试结果显示,固化温度和放热量随着Ba(OH)_2加入温度的升高而逐渐增大,表明固化速率降低。综合考虑各项性能,应在60℃时加入Ba(OH)_2制备酚醛树脂。

通过检测牛早期胚胎分裂速率的时间分布,并将体外受精后0~34 h与26~30 h时间段内采集的2细胞期胚胎分别作为电融合对照组与电融合试验组。将对照组与试验组的2细胞期胚胎分别用于电融合,并将电融合后的胚胎继续体外培养至囊胚期,检测并对比分析2组胚胎的融合率、分裂率、囊胚率和四倍体制备率。结果显示,牛2细胞期胚胎在体外受精后28~30 h其内分裂速率达到最高峰(18.9%)。电融合对照组的融合率、分裂率略高于试验组胚胎(85.2%vs.84.2%,82.2%vs.80.9%),试验组的囊胚率略高于电融合对照组(45.4%vs.44.8%),但差异均不显著。而电融合试验组的四倍体制备率显著高于电融合对照组(28.3%vs.14.5%)。结果表明,牛2细胞期胚胎的采集时间对电融合方法体外制备牛四倍体胚胎的效率有显著影响。     

Intramammary infusion of an Enterococcus faecium SF68 preparation promoted the involution of drying off Holstein cows partly related to neutrophil‐associated matrix metalloproteinase 9

A problem for dairy cows following milk stasis is to cope with a high risk of intramammary infection and there is a need to initiate an extensive renewal of secretory modules in mammary glands so that milk production in next lactation may be optimized. We recently reported that ultrasonicated Enterococcus faecium SF68 (SF68) is compatible with cow mammary glands and an enhancer of innate immunity during the immediate post‐milk stasis period. The current study further examines the concomitant effect of ultrasonicated SF68 on mammary tissue remodeling. Four Holstein cows each received intramammary infusions of regular antibiotic dry‐cow formula (positive control) and two different doses of SF68 in different quarters. Analyses of individual quarter secretion samples showed faster neutrophil infiltration, earlier modifications in protein composition, including caseins and lactoferrins, as well as more prompt elevation of the specific unit of 92‐kDa matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in SF68‐infused quarters compared to the positive controls. Intramammary infusion of ultrasonicated SF68 seems able to accelerate the regression of mammary synthetic capacity and potentiate the breakdown of glandular extracellular matrix, indicating a more efficient mammary gland involution. Correlation analyses imply that the ability of ultrasonicated SF68 to induce faster neutrophil chemotaxis and the associated MMP9 release is partly responsible.
