Prevalence and Characteristics of Salmonella in the Beef Chain in the Republic of Ireland

The study investigated the prevalence, concentration and characteristics of Salmonella spp. in the Irish beef chain. A total of 900 samples including bovine hides, carcasses and ground beef were examined for the pathogen over a 2‐year study (July 2007–June 2009). Salmonella prevalence was low in all sample types; bovine hide (0.75%, 3 of 400); carcasses (0.25%, 1 of 400); and ground beef (3%, 3 of 100). All positive samples contained the pathogen in low concentrations (<10 CFU per cm² or per g). Serovars recovered were S. Dublin from hide and carcasses and S. Braenderup in ground beef. All isolates were susceptible to 13 anti‐microbials. The study highlights that Salmonella can be found at low levels at all stages of beef chain production, processing and retail and that there is a need for multiple hurdle interventions and practices along the beef chain, which will reduce consumer exposure to this pathogen.

Temperature conditions in the Argentine chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) fishing ground: implications for fishery management

We describe the seasonal migrations of Argentine chub mackerel ( Scomber japonicus ) into the fishing ground in relation to sea surface temperature conditions and analyse the temperature evolution during the fishing season on the basis of 1955–97 time-series. The upper temperature limit for the presence of schools was around 19°C. At higher values, most schools leave coastal waters (< 50 m) for the shelf. An inverse relationship was observed between catches per unit of effort (CPUE) of the inshore fishery and sea surface temperature. The highest standardized CPUE values corresponded to temperatures lower than 19°C. Above this temperature, the probability of obtaining a standardized CPUE higher than 1 was extremely low, and the standard deviations were minimal. The economic benefit from catches was also analysed through the different months of the fishing season. It was found that the mean benefit corresponding to temperatures lower than 19°C exceeded approximately 15 times that obtained at higher temperatures. A simple fishing strategy was proposed to the commercial fleet in order to improve the economic benefit of the catches. The migratory pattern followed by mackerel during the spawning period was also analysed in relationship to other environmental factors like food availability. Zooplankton composition, size structure and abundance in coastal and shelf waters are described, and their implications for feeding ecology of larvae and adults of the species are discussed.     

玛曲渔场几种裂腹鱼类脑的形态结构与真食性的相互关系

本文对极边扁咽齿鱼,黄河裸裂尻鱼、花斑裸鲤和厚唇重唇鱼进行了食性分析和脑的形态结构观察,并对脑结构和食性的关系作了初步探讨。认为这四种鱼类属于底层味觉食性鱼类,其中极边扁咽齿鱼和黄河裸裂尻鱼主要靠口腔、腭部味蕾觅食泥土和藻类,迷叶发达;厚唇重唇鱼主要靠触须寻找甲壳类为主的水底昆虫,面叶和小脑发达;花斑裸鲤的脑结构特征与其杂食性相适应。     

Multi-Temporal Detection of Rice Phenological Stages Using Canopy Spectrum

Information on rice phenology is essential for yield estimation and crop management. To test the ability of remote sensing in detecting multiple phenological stages, paddy rice canopy spectrum was measured by a hand-held radiometer. Normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) was calculated from spectrum, and the slope of NDVI was obtained as its difference. We evaluated the response of NDVI and its slope to rice growth with a comparison of two late-season rice cultivars. The results showed that NDVI and its slope curves had distinct variation corresponding to rice development and they could be used as cultivar-independent phenological indicators. The dates of flooding and transplanting, tillering, panicle development, heading and flowering, maturity, harvest stages, and even field management practices, could be deduced from these indicators. ‘NDVI ≤ 0' could be used as a single threshold for the detection of flooding and transplanting. The largest spike in the curve of the NDVI slope indicated the duration of tillering stage. The next spike corresponded to panicle development. The heading and flowering stage was characterized by the maximum NDVI and the change of NDVI slope from positive to negative. At the maturity stage, NDVI decreased continuously, and its slope fluctuated just below zero. When rice grains were completely mature and ready for harvest, NDVI decline was accelerated. At harvest, NDVI slope reached its minimum value. The distinction between heading and maturity stages was obscure, most likely due to NDVI saturation at high biomass. The study might provide references for paddy rice phenology determination through remote sensing images.     

南方丘陵区油茶气孔导度模型修正

为探求南方丘陵地区油茶叶片气孔导度最优响应模型,该研究于2020年和2021年对油茶叶片的气孔导度、净光合速率、CO2浓度等参数进行观测,运用9种不同组合的Jarvis模型以及2种不同CO2浓度（叶片CO2浓度和胞间CO2浓度）计算的Ball-Woodrow-Berry（BWB）模型和Ball-Berry-Leuning（BBL）模型对油茶叶片气孔导度进行模拟,并引入油茶叶片叶气温差、气孔内外CO2浓度差对Jarvis模型和BBL模型进行修正和比较。结果表明：去除土壤水分函数提高了Jarvis模型的模拟效果,说明在南方丘陵区利用Jarvis模型时可以忽略土壤水分这一因子的影响。Jarvis-8模型以及用叶片CO2浓度计算出的BWB和BBL模型对油茶气孔导度模拟效果较好。在三种经典模型中,BBL模型的相关系数最大（R2=0.76）,绝对值平均误差最小（0.015）,说明其对油茶气孔导度模拟的效果较好。在引入两种参数后,叶气温差对Jarvis-8模型和BBL模型的模拟效果有所提高,但不显著;气孔内外CO2浓度差对Jarvis-8模型无明显改变,但显著提高了BBL模型的精度,引入气孔内外CO2浓度差后的BBL-C模型相关系数从BBL模型的0.76提高到了0.95,模型斜率非常接近于1（1.004）,模拟结果贴近于实测的气孔导度值,很好地模拟了2020年（R2=0.92）和2021年（R2=0.95）油茶生长关键期的叶片气孔导度值以及不同场景下的油茶气孔导度日变化值。因此推荐引入气孔内外CO2浓度差的 BBL模型作为南方丘陵区油茶叶片气孔导度响应模型。研究结果可为南方丘陵区油茶气孔导度模型选取提供参考依据。     

风沙黄土区排土场不同恢复类型植物群落与土壤种子库特征

风沙黄土区排土场作为一种人造生态系统,自然条件恶劣,土壤贫瘠,植被恢复困难。为了探明有效的人工促进植被恢复措施,采用植被调查与种子库萌发试验相结合的方法,通过研究不同植被类型地上植物群落与土壤种子库特征及二者的关系,探讨了其植被恢复效益及潜力。结果表明:研究区人工植被恢复下地上植物群落中共47种植物,分属16科40属,土壤种子库共14种植物,分属5科13属,其中均以禾本科、菊科、藜科、豆科占主导地位; 灌木植被的地上植被和土壤种子库的物种多样性均表现为最优; 地上植被与土壤种子库密度的变化范围为88.48～495.47株/m²,74.74～1422.91粒/m²,且均在草地类型下最大。土壤种子库和地上植被的相似性普遍较低,相似性系数仅为0.16～0.23。因此,风沙黄土区排土场的植被恢复与重建需要加强保护与管理,可以考虑构建以草灌配置为主的人工植被恢复模式,保障群落的恢复潜力,并提高群落多样性与稳定性,亦可考虑引入外源种子库提升群落恢复的潜力。     

黄土丘陵沟壑区耕地细碎化评价与土地整治工程分区——以吴起县为例

为研究黄土丘陵沟壑区耕地细碎化的特征,提高农业机械化水平,以延安市吴起县为研究区,以行政村为单元,基于ArcGIS与Fragstats软件,运用景观指数、地理探测器等方法评价了吴起县的耕地细碎化程度,分析影响因素,并划分土地整治工程分区。结果表明:(1)吴起县耕地综合细碎化程度总体较高,各程度细碎化的行政村数量排序为中度细碎>重度细碎>轻度破碎。轻度细碎化集中分布于吴起县北部,重度细碎化主要分布在中部、南部、西南部,中部地区的重度细碎化呈现出西北—东南走向的条带状。吴起县耕地细碎化的主要类型为面积细碎化,形状细碎化与分布细碎化程度相对较低。(2)吴起县耕地综合细碎化的主要影响因素为高程、坡度、距河流的距离、距农村居民点的距离,影响力大小排序为距河流的距离>坡度>高程>距农村居民点的距离。坡度、距河流距离分别与距农村道路距离、距农村居民点距离有很强的交互作用。(3)基于耕地细碎化评价与影响因素分析结果,划分土地权属调整区、土地平整工程主导区、农田水利工程主导区、农村道路工程主导区、土地工程综合整治区共5个整治工程分区,为吴起县耕地细碎化整治提供方向性引导。可见,吴起县耕地细碎化水平较高,空间异质性较强,主要受地形、水源、耕作便利性等多因素影响,需要以权属调整、土地整治等手段改善。     

黄土和红壤丘陵区输变电线路工程水土流失影响因素及特征

为顺应国家电网公司高质量绿色发展的内在需求,防治输电线工程施工过程中造成的严重水土流失。以黄土丘陵区和红壤丘陵区为研究对象,通过野外调查和文献查阅,选取区域内两条典型线路,就气候、地形、土壤和植被等自然因素对输电线路工程水土流失特征的影响进行研究。结果表明:(1)黄土丘陵区相较于红壤丘陵区侵蚀营力除水力之外还有风力。(2)黄土丘陵区土壤渗透性强、土层深厚,而红壤丘陵区质地粘重、遇水易板结、入渗能力差。(3)黄土丘陵区植被自我恢复能力较差,施工过程中需要随时进行补植,而红壤区植被遭受破坏后恢复能力强,即使施工中植被遭受破坏,在短期内也可自然恢复。(4)黄土丘陵区输电线路工程在施工期土壤侵蚀模数是自然恢复期的1～10倍。黄土丘陵区输电线路各区域的土壤侵蚀模数是红壤丘陵区的2.5～31.25倍。(5)黄土丘陵区侵蚀模数在换流站站区、电机电缆区和榆林市线路工程塔基区的侵蚀模数取最大值,换流站站区和线路工程塔基区新增水土流失量最大; 而红壤丘陵区输电线路工程侵蚀模数在宜昌市线路工程塔基区取最大值,塔基区的新增水土流失量亦为最大。塔基区是水土流失防治和监测的重点区域。因此,根据当地自然因素差异,分区域设计工程措施,有利于减少水土流失。     

基于Copula分析生态恢复对黄土高原水沙频率耦合关系的影响

为探讨黄土高原水土流失持续治理（P1,1960—1979年;P2,1980—1999年）及退耕还林（草）（P3,2000—2019年）不同阶段水、沙频率耦合特征及演变,基于典型黄土丘陵沟壑区北洛河上游刘家河站1960—2019年的径流量与输沙量实测日数据,采用Copula函数等方法进行水、沙频率统计和模拟。结果表明：（1） Gumbel-Houggar Copula函数能很好地模拟上游水、沙联合概率分布。（2）从P1~P3阶段,5~100年各重现期径流、输沙数量均显著降低,各设计频率的水沙数量在发生概率上的异步性增强。（3）水土流失治理和生态环境建设对黄土高原生态水文过程的影响主要表现在大幅降低20年以上重现期水、沙极端事件发生的概率。黄土高原大幅度的生态恢复在区域尺度上已经表现出减水更减沙、调节水、沙极端事件发生概率等良好的生态功能。
