云南红豆杉人工药用原料林春芽数量及其动态

芽是枝、花或花序尚未发育前的雏体,是植物体的重要构件之一,也是植物树冠形成的基础(魏媛等,2010).芽的萌发预示着冬眠结束和生长开始(Yakovlev et al.,2008),并影响着许多过程,以及各种动物行为(Wesolowski et al.,2006).因此,乔木芽萌发、芽的时空变化以及这些变化的机制,对于理解乔木的许多季节现象非常重要,对于制定物种管理方法(Akamine et al.,2007)及探讨森林对气候变化的响应也具有重要价值(Wesolowski et al.,2006;Rohde et al.,2011).植株树冠的形成,很大程度上取决于芽在植物上的着生位置、排列和活动状况.     

不同郁闭度对茶树净光合速率及茶园生态因子的影响

以安徽省金寨县栗茶间作园为研究对象,对不同郁闭度条件下茶树的净光合速率及茶园生态因子进行测定。结果表明:6月,露地茶园(对照)茶树的净光合速率在13∶00时出现"光合午休"现象,而有遮荫的茶园均未出现"光合午休"现象。在遮荫情况下,气温、土壤温度均低于露地茶园,且郁闭度越大温度越低;而空气湿度和土壤湿度均高于对照纯茶园,且郁闭度越大湿度越大。在郁闭度0.3的林下最有利于茶树生长和茶叶品质的提高。

Genotypic Variation of Stomatal Conductance in Relation to Stomatal Density and Length in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Abstract

Stomatal conductance (g_s) is an important trait responsible for the genotypic difference in gas diffusion for photosynthesis and transpiration in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We measured g_s, stomatal density and stomatal length (guard-cell length) at two weeks before heading for 64 accessions from a rice diversity research set of germplasm (RDRS) and for three high-yielding cultivars (HYC) under field conditions. Considerable variations in g_s, and stomatal length were observed among varieties in RDRS, and it was considered that RDRS covers the species diversity of the stomatal characteristics in rice. When it was compared among the varieties with similar plant earliness, g_s was higher in HYC than in most varieties of RDRS. Stomatal density did not correlate with g_s, and there was a negative correlation between stomatal density and stomatal length. However, noticeable variance existed in the latter relation, where HYC exhibited a higher stomatal density and slightly shorter stomatal length than RDRS. High g_s in HYC is attributable to their high stomatal density and moderate specific stomatal conductance (g_s / stomatal density) while the high-g_s varieties in RDRS tended to have a lower stomatal density and higher specific stomatal conductance. Stomatal length is related to specific stomatal conductance, but there are remarkable differences between these traits. Specific stomatal conductance in HYC has not reached the upper limit for their stomatal size, which raises a possibility of further improvement of HYC in g_s.

大田条件下研究3种种植密度对紧凑型高产玉米品种鲁单818(LD818)根系生长动态及产量的影响.结果表明,LD818在9万株/hm2的群体产量分别比3万、6万株/hm2提高96.10％和10.96％,具有较高的增产潜力.不同种植密度下,LD818单株根系体积、根系体积密度、单株根系活跃吸收面积和根系吸收面积指数(RAI)均随生育进程的推进呈先增加后减小的变化趋势;单株根系体积和吸收面积随种植密度的递增呈递减趋势,根系体积密度和RAI呈升高趋势.种植密度递增,LD818个体根系水平方向高密度区(0～6 cm)根系干重比例不断递增,中密度区(7～12cm)和低密度区(13～18cm)不断递减;垂直方向上层高密度区(0～20 cm)、中密度区(21 ～ 40 cm)根系干重比例不断递减,下层(41 ～ 60cm)低密度区和稀密度区(61 ～ 80 cm)递增.LD818单株根系呈“横向紧缩,纵向延伸”的特点,较适应随种植密度递增导致水平方向空间受限制的“拥挤”,可适当减小株距密植.     

Evaluation of veld potential in east griqualand using beef cattle under two grazing management systems

Abstract

Beef production from veld, in the short term, was found to be greater under a continuous grazing system than under a rotational grazing system. Average daily gains decreased from a maximum in late‐spring and the highest three‐year mean value was 0,5 kg/animal/day. Livemass gains/ha were highest at a stocking rate of 2,2 animals/ha and were 131,4 kg/ha under continuous grazing and 88,6 kg/ha under rotational grazing. Estimated mean maximum gains/ha were 0,78 kg/ha/day at a stocking rate of 2,5 animals/ha under continuous grazing and 0,55 kg/ha/day at a stocking rate of 1,7 animals/ha under rotational grazing. However, optimum economic stocking rates were estimated to occur below those where beef production/ha was maximum.     

Conservative stocking or maximum profit: A grazing management dilemma?

Abstract

Swards in the False Thornveld of the Eastern Cape are generally stocked considerably in excess of the rate currently recommended for maximised production on a sustained basis. Economic analysis of the relationship between stocking rate and production per ha reveals that there is no financial justification for such heavy stocking. Moreover, conservative stocking rates increase the farmer's ability to withstand drought without adversely affecting profit. Veld condition also plays a considerable role in determining financial return per ha. Despite these observations, farmers continue to stock heavily and this is accompanied by veld deterioration. A possible explanation is that the productive value of land is relatively insignificant when compared with its investment value.     

The use of a covariance analysis to compare derived linear regressions in stocking rate trials

An analysis of covariance allows statistical comparison of derived data. However, it has not as yet been related to the Jones and Sandland (1974) model. In this paper the analysis of variance is therefore assessed in terms of relationships which are used in the Jones and Sandland model. If this method of analysis is used, four to six stocking rates are recommended in order to ensure that statistical significance is meaningful.     

The effects of continuous and rotational grazing of sourveld on the quality of herbage selected by Simmentaler heifers

A grazing trial was conducted at the Kokstad Agricultural Station to compare the dry matter digestibility (DMD) and crude protein content (CP) of diets selected by four fistulated cattle which were continuously and rotationally grazing sourveld. Two stocking rates of 1,0 and 2,3 animals/ha (0,5 and 1,2 LSU/ha) were applied under each grazing method. The mean DMD and CP values of diets selected in the continuous and rotational grazing treatments, respectively, were: DMD=64,3%, 62,3%; CP=6,63%, 6,88%. The effect of stocking rate on the quality of the diet selected varied between the two grazing methods. DMD and CP of diets selected under rotational grazing decreased with time during the week‐long period of stay in each paddock. On average, DMD and CP values on the first and sixth day respectively, were: DMD=66,6%, 60,5%; CP=8,37%, 6,01%. These differences were more pronounced at the higher than at the lower stocking rate. It was concluded that, although some of the treatment differences were small, grazing method differences in the DMD of diets might at least partially account for observed differences in livemass gains under the two grazing systems.
