Mixed Forests as a Part of Sustainable Forestry in Southern Sweden

Abstract

We review and discuss the applicability of mixed stands in the context of sustainable forestry in southern Sweden. This is done from a silvicultural perspective regarding aspects such as regeneration, pre-commer-cial thinnings, production, economy, damage and policy implications. The paper is based on literature reviews and on studies performed in southern Sweden or under comparable conditions. After considering the underlying mechanisms, we find that it is possible to establish a mixed stand in the regeneration phase and sometimes even to a lower cost compared to monocultures. To keep the mixture, or to create it, with pre-commercial thinnings is, however, often more expensive. The reviewed studies, together with a new simulation, show that the effect on productivity of mixed stands compared to monocultures is minor. Some positive effects on damage (i.e., decreased levels) in mixed stands have been found. The economy and the policy implications of mixed stand management were found to be dependent on the specific stand and situations. A general finding was that research and knowledge of managing mixed stands, as compared to monocultures, are limited, which in turn could limit the applicability of mixed stand management.     

Sebaceous adenitis in the Akita: clinical observations, histopathology and heredity

Ninety-seven pure-bred Akitas were examined clinically and histologically for sebaceous adenitis. The diagnosis was established histologically in 23 Akitas by demonstrating an inflammatory reaction targeted against the sebaceous glands or a reduction in the number of glands. The clinical course of sebaceous adenitis in the Akita was similar to that seen in other breeds. The first skin lesions occurred mainly on the dorsal midline and ears. Compared with the Poodle, the age at first onset of the disease was more variable and the hair loss affected mainly the undercoat. The progression of sebaceous gland destruction varied between dogs and was not seen in all cases. Because bud-like sebaceous gland proliferation could be identified, it seems that regeneration of the sebaceous glands may occur. An autosomal recessive inheritance appears to be possible. Apart from a genetic background, immune-mediated factors possibly influence the onset and course of sebaceous adenitis.     

陇东旱塬冬小麦复种饲草轮作系统产量和水分利用特征

在陇东黄土高原大田条件下,连续2年研究了冬小麦-饲草复种轮作系统的干物质产量和水分利用,研究采用的处理有:休闲-冬小麦-箭筈豌豆-冬小麦(F-W-V-W),休闲-冬小麦-饲用油菜-冬小麦(F-W-R-W),饲用油菜-冬小麦-箭筈豌豆-冬小麦(R-W-V-W)和饲用油菜-冬小麦-饲用油菜-冬小麦(R-W-R-W)。结果表明:麦茬复种饲草可比麦茬休闲提高系统生产力27%,蛋白质产量增加1100 kg/hm², 同时对后茬冬小麦产量无影响。R-W-R-W模式下干物质产量、粗蛋白产量、干物质水分利用效率和蛋白质水分利用效率均最优,分别为30.68 t/hm²、3.25 t/hm²、7.80 kg/(mm·hm²)和0.92 kg/(mm·hm²)(P<0.05)。复种饲用油菜较箭筈豌豆产量高,有效利用了麦茬后降雨量,但箭筈豌豆粗蛋白含量较饲用油菜高22.4%,因此确定麦茬复种模式则需权衡干物质产量与蛋白质产量的需求。     

草地早熟禾新格莱德胚性愈伤组织原生质体培养及植株再生的研究

以草地早熟禾品种——新格莱德成熟种子为供试材料,在含3.0mg/L2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸(2,4-D)、0.5mg/L6-苄氨基嘌呤(6-BA)的MB₅培养基中进行胚性愈伤组织诱导的培养。并从生长了7～9个月的胚性愈伤组织中分离出原生质体,将该原生质体置于KM₈P培养基(含3.0mg/L2,4-D、0.5mg/L6-BA、100mg/L水解酪蛋白、100mg/L水解乳蛋白、1%蔗糖、0.4mol/L甘露醇)中进行了液体浅层培养。结果表明,新格莱德原生质体在上述KM₈P培养基中培养3d后出现第1次细胞分裂,2～3周后形成小细胞团,此时添加低渗培养液2～3次,小细胞团持续分裂并形成愈伤组织。当愈伤组织块长至3～5mm时,转入固体培养基MS+3.0mg/L2,4-D+0.5mg/L6-BA和MS+0.5mg/L萘乙酸(NAA)+5.0mg/L6-BA上进行培养,使其细胞增殖和分化,且逐步形成完整的植株。     

库布齐沙地三种植物光合、蒸腾特性和水分利用效率研究

采用LI-6400便携式光合系统,对库布齐沙地建群种油蒿以及人工栽培植物塔落岩黄芪和沙打旺的光合作用、蒸腾作用及水分利用效率进行了研究。结果表明,库布齐沙地的油蒿表现出高光合、高蒸腾的特点,其净光合速率和蒸腾速率均大于塔落岩黄芪和沙打旺,但水分利用效率较低;塔落岩黄芪表现出高光合、低蒸腾的特点,水分利用效率较高;沙打旺表现出低光合、低蒸腾的特点,水分利用效率介于油蒿和塔落岩黄芪之间。油蒿与塔落岩黄芪的净光合速率日变化呈明显的双峰曲线,沙打旺只在16∶00出现一个单峰。气孔导度和光合有效辐射作为重要的生理因子和主要环境因子分别影响着三种植物净光合速率和蒸腾速率的变化。     

苜蓿和沙打旺苗期需水及其根冠比

研究苜蓿和沙打旺苗期水分利用与根冠比例。结果表明,沙打旺叶片对土壤水分的瞬时利用效率均高于苜蓿。沙打旺地下部与地上部生物量比和根长/株高比在不同水分条件下亦高于苜蓿,尤其在低水分时。在高水分下苜蓿单位水分消耗所形成的生物量较多,随着土壤含水量的降低而大幅度减少。苜蓿具有较高的蒸腾速率和较快的根系生长速率,因而造成土壤水分的过快消耗。总之,高水分生长条件易于苜蓿生产效率的发挥,但沙打旺对土壤水分环境变化的稳定性较强。结合多年的研究成果和黄土丘陵区的实际情况,提出在不同立地条件下,沙打旺可以种植在该地区的坡地,而苜蓿则应在水分条件相对较好的川地种植。

旋壳转速对腔内液体流动特性的效应

为研究旋壳转速对腔内液体流动特性的影响,以试验旋喷泵为研究对象,在高度验证叶轮与旋壳同步旋转试验与模拟结果准确性的基础上,对叶轮转速相同、旋壳转速不同的5个模型采用RNG k-ε湍流模型进行数值计算,分析腔内液体流动特性的变化情况,研究泵的性能.结果表明:旋壳转速增大,液体圆周速度和旋转系数均增大,圆周速度曲线沿径向逐渐形成同心圆,腔内液体做非刚性旋转.腔内液体径向压力梯度增大,压力低于624 kPa时,旋壳转速越高,压力越小;压力高于624 kPa时,旋壳转速越高,压力越大.集流管迎流区涡分布在进口附近,尾迹区涡集中在扩散段结尾处,整体呈增大趋势.旋壳转速增大,泵的扬程升高,但效率降低,通过改变集流管进口直径发现集流管并非效率降低的主要原因,而是由圆盘摩擦损失的增大导致的,圆盘摩擦损失随旋壳转速增加呈3次幂函数式增大,文中最优进口直径为13 mm.     

分层供水施磷对冬小麦磷效率及产量的影响

研究分层供水施磷对冬小麦磷效率及产量的影响,为指导旱地施磷提供一定理论和实践依据。试验设整体湿润(W1)和上干下湿(W2) 2 种水分处理,不施磷(CK)、表施(SP)、深施(DP)3 种施磷处理,供试品种选用水分敏感型（‘小偃22’）和抗旱型（‘长旱58’）。研究结果表明：磷肥施用深度对冬小麦磷根效率比、磷肥利用效率、磷肥偏生产力(PFPP)及产量的影响随土壤水分和品种而异。2 种水分条件下,‘小偃22’DP较SP处理磷肥利用率、PFPp均显著降低(P＜0.05),磷根效率比及产量则差异不显著;W1 处理下,‘长旱58’DP较SP处理除磷根效率比外其他指标均显著降低(P＜0.05),W2 处理下则相反,上述指标均显著增加(P＜0.05)。本试验结果表明,土壤水分供应不足时,磷肥深施有利于提高抗旱性较强冬小麦品种对磷素的吸收利用能力,从而提高磷肥利用率及产量。     

Relationship between stable carbon isotope discrimination and water use efficiency under regulated deficit irrigation of pear-jujube tree

To investigate the relationship between stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) of different organs and water use efficiency (WUE) under different water deficit levels, severe, moderate and low water deficit levels were treated at bud burst to leafing, flowering to fruit set, fruit growth and fruit maturation stages of field grown pear-jujube tree, and leaf stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ_L) at different growth stages and fruit stable carbon isotope discrimination (Δ_F) at fruit maturation stage were measured. The results indicated that water deficit had significant effect on Δ_L at different growth stages and Δ_F at fruit maturation stage. As compared with full irrigation, the average Δ_L at different growth stages and Δ_F at fruit maturation stage were decreased by 1.23% and 2.67% for different water deficit levels, respectively. Δ_L and Δ_F among different water deficit treatments had significant difference at the same growth stage (P < 0.05). Under different water deficit conditions, significant relationships between the Δ_L and WUE_i (photosynthesis rate/transpiration rate, P_n/T_r), WUE_n (photosynthesis rate/stomatal conductance of CO_2, P_n/g_s), WUE_y (yield/crop water consumption, Y/ET_c) and yield, or between the Δ_F and WUE_y and yield were found, respectively. There were significantly negative correlations of Δ_L with WUE_i, WUE_n, WUE_y and yield (P < 0.01) at the fruit maturation stage, or Δ_L with WUE_i and WUE_n (P < 0.01) over whole growth stage, respectively. Δ_F was negatively correlated with WUE_y, WUE_n and yield (P < 0.05), but positively correlated with ET_c (P < 0.01) over the whole growth stage. Thus Δ_L or Δ_F can compare WUE_n and WUE_y, so the stable carbon isotope discrimination method can be applied to evaluate the water use efficiency of pear-jujube tree under the regulated deficit irrigation.
