Commercialized European bumblebee can cause pollination disturbance: An experiment on seven native plant species in Japan

Non-native pollinator species are now widely utilized to facilitate pollination of agricultural crops. Evaluation of the ecological risk of alien pollinators is necessary because they could have a large impact on native ecosystems through disturbing native plant-pollinator interactions. We conducted a greenhouse experiment to examine the impact of the non-native commercialized European bumblebees, Bombus terrestris, on the pollination success of seven Japanese bumblebee-pollinated plant species. Plants were exposed to three groups of bumblebees: native bumblebee(s) only (NATIVE treatment); the alien bee only (ALIEN) and a mix of the two (MIX). ALIEN treatment had negative effects on fruitset and/or fruit quality of five plants, including self-incompatible and compatible, herb and woody, and queen- and worker-pollinated species. The negative effects were caused by a decrease in legitimate flower visitation due to (1) physical inaccessibility to nectary in deep-corolla flowers by the alien bee with insufficient tongue length and, (2) biased flower preference between short-corolla flowers. Fruitset tended to decrease drastically for the self-incompatible species while fruit quality decreased moderately for the self-compatible species. Effects of MIX were not intermediate between NATIVE and ALIEN in most plant species, and caused pollination success to vary in an unpredictable manner amongst plant species, probably due to interaction between native and alien bees. This non-linear relationship between plants’ pollination success and the relative density of the alien suggests that the alien bee can disturb pollination of a plant species even when only representing a small fraction of the total pollinator community.     

内蒙古边际土地油莎豆种植及生产潜力评估

开展精细的区域边际土地分布研究并进行充分利用是缓解人地矛盾的重要途径之一。内蒙古土地沙化严重且生产力低下,边际土地分布广泛。近年来,油莎豆因其产量高、含油量高,种植及产业化发展迅速,成为保障中国粮油安全的重要优选作物之一。在内蒙古大量边际土地上推广油莎豆种植是解决土地沙化问题、土地利用率低等问题的新思路。基于此,研究基于多因子综合评价方法提取了内蒙古边际土地,并分析利用其种植新型油料作物油莎豆可产生的能源及经济效益。结果表明,内蒙古地区共有边际土地12.5万 km2,其中一等边际土地面积为2.6万km2,主要分布于中部及东部巴彦淖尔市、包头市、锡林浩特市、通辽市等,以稀疏植被、农田与植被混合区为主;二等边际土地6.4万km2,分布于霍林郭勒市、乌海市等地,主要是以植被为主的农田与植被混合区;三等边际土地 3.5万km2,主要分布在西部阿拉善盟的一些降水较少且交通便利程度低、开发难度大的沙漠边缘地带及一些各类条件均较差的复合限制区。在上述筛选出的边际土地种植油莎豆并提取食用油,将可获得食用油约1.59×107 t;若用于提取生物质柴油,将可获得生物质能量1.87×1012 MJ,可替代4.47×107 t 燃料油。研究可为中国北方风沙区边际土地利用及油莎豆种植和推广,以缓解区域粮油资源及能源短缺问题等提供一定的科学依据和数据支撑。     

覆盖方式对旱地马铃薯阶段耗水量特征和产量的影响

为明确不同覆盖方式对旱地马铃薯田土壤耗水、耗水规律、水分利用效率、产量及产量形成的影响,在陇中半干旱农区设置了玉米秸秆带状双行覆盖(SSM2)、玉米秸秆带状单行覆盖(SSM1)、玉米秸秆全覆盖(SFM)、地膜春覆盖(PMS)和地膜秋覆盖(PMA)5种覆盖方式,以传统露地平作为对照(CK)。结果表明:2年试验中,玉米秸秆带状覆盖和地膜覆盖处理土壤贮水消耗量较CK分别增加13.5,14.8 mm。玉米秸秆带状覆盖能显著提高降水对马铃薯耗水贡献率,不同降雨年型内均以SSM2处理贡献率最高,2年分别为95.6%和94.3%。于CK相比,覆盖处理均降低了生育前期(播种-块茎形成期)耗水量,地膜覆盖显著增加了生育中期(块茎形成期-淀粉积累期)耗水量,玉米秸秆带状覆盖显著增加了生育后期(淀粉积累期-收获期)的耗水量。玉米秸秆带状覆盖和地膜覆盖分别能使马铃薯干薯产量增加27.9%和24.2%,干薯水分利用效率提高23.1%和19.3%。综上可知,玉米秸秆带状覆盖处理能显著增加马铃薯生育时期内农田土壤贮水消耗量,并改善马铃薯生育前期和生育后期耗水,减少旱地马铃薯农田无效耗水,能显著提高马铃薯干薯产量和水分利用效率。     

茶叶皂角用于提高大豆油-水体系洗脱修复焦化厂土壤中多环芳烃、Cd、Ni的可行性研究

Mixed contaminated brownfield sites have brought serious risks to human health and environmental safety. With the purpose of removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) and heavy metals from a coking plant site, an innovative technology for ex-situ washing was developed in the present work. The combination of 15.0 mL L~(-1) soybean oil and 7.5 g L~(-1) tea saponin proved an effective method to extract co-pollutants from soil. After two consecutive washing cycles, the efficiency rates of removal for 3-, 4-,5(+6)-ring, and total PAHs, Cd, and Ni were approximately 98.2%, 96.4%, 92.3%, 96.3%, 94.1%, and 89.4%, respectively. Meanwhile,as evaluated by Tenax extraction method and metal stability indices, the residual PAHs and heavy metals after consecutive washing mainly existed in the form with extremely low bioaccessibility in the soil. Thus, in the soil after two washing cycles, there appeared limited environmental transfer risk of co-pollutants. Moreover, a subsequent precipitation method with alkaline solution and PAHdegrading strain Sphingobium sp. PHE9 inoculation effectively removed 84.6%–100% of Cd, 82.5%–91.7% of Ni, and 92.6%–98.4% of PAHs from the first and second washing solvents. The recovered solvents also exhibited a high recycling effectiveness. Therefore, the combined cleanup strategy proposed in this study proved environmentally friendly, which also played a major role in risk assessment and management in mixed polluted sites.     

沟垄二元覆盖对渭北旱塬区土壤肥力及玉米产量的影响

探讨沟垄二元覆盖对旱地土壤肥力及作物生产力的影响,对完善半湿润区作物微集水栽培技术具有重要的理论和实践意义。2007—2011年在渭北旱塬进行5年定位试验,设置垄上覆地膜,沟内分别覆普通地膜、生物降解膜、玉米秸秆、液体地膜和沟不覆盖等不同沟垄覆盖模式,以传统平作为对照。结果表明,2011年春玉米收获后各处理土壤有机质及速效养分含量随土层的加深而降低,与2007年试验处理前相比,沟垄二元覆盖各处理土壤养分含量明显增加,而垄覆地膜+沟不覆盖和传统平作处理有所下降。垄覆地膜沟覆秸秆处理0~20 cm层土壤有机质、碱解氮、有效磷和速效钾含量均显著高于对照,垄覆地膜沟覆地膜和垄覆地膜沟覆生物降解膜处理有机质和碱解氮含量较对照有所增加,而其有效磷和速效钾含量显著增加。20~60 cm层土壤有机质和速效养分含量各沟垄二元覆盖处理均略高于对照。各沟垄覆盖处理表层(0~20 cm)土壤脲酶、磷酸酶和蔗糖酶活性均较对照增加,且以垄覆地膜沟覆秸秆处理土壤酶活性最高,垄覆地膜沟覆生物降解膜和垄覆地膜沟覆地膜处理次之。垄覆地膜沟覆生物降解膜、垄覆地膜沟覆地膜和垄覆地膜沟覆秸秆处理较对照显著增产41.1%、42.1%、39.3%,水分利用效率显著提高38.0%、39.6%、37.0%。在渭北旱塬区进行沟垄二元覆盖对提高土壤肥力、酶活性及春玉米产量和水分利用效率有显著提高作用,以垄覆地膜沟覆秸秆处理最佳,垄覆地膜沟覆地膜和垄覆地膜沟覆生物降解膜次之。可见,垄覆地膜沟覆地膜、生物降解膜或秸秆的沟垄全覆盖种植在渭北旱塬雨养农业区春玉米生产栽培具有一定的可行性和应用价值。     

热带农业生态系统土壤肥力与植物养分综合管理研究进展

The greatest challenge for tropical agriculture is land degradation and reduction in soil fertility for sustainable crop and livestock production.Associated problems include soil erosion,nutrient mining,competition for biomass for multiple uses,limited application of inorganic fertilizers,and limited capacity of farmers to recognize the decline in soil quality and its consequences on productivity.Integrated soil fertility management(ISFM) is an approach to improve crop yields,while preserving sustainable and long-term soil fertility through the combined judicious use of fertilizers,recycled organic resources,responsive crop varieties,and improved agronomic practices,which minimize nutrient losses and improve the nutrient-use efficiency of crops.Soil fertility and nutrient management studies in Ethiopia under on-station and on-farm conditions showed that the combined application of inorganic and organic fertilizers significantly increased crop yields compared to either alone in tropical agro-ecosystems.Yield benefits were more apparent when fertilizer application was accompanied by crop rotation,green manuring,or crop residue management.The combination of manure and NP fertilizer could increase wheat and faba bean grain yields by 50%–100%,whereas crop rotation with grain legumes could increase cereal grain yields by up to 200%.Although organic residues are key inputs for soil fertility management,about 85% of these residues is used for livestock feed and energy;thus,there is a need for increasing crop biomass.The main incentive for farmers to adopt ISFM practices is economic benefits.The success of ISFM also depends on research and development institutions to provide technical support,technology adoption,information dissemination,and creation of market incentives for farmers in tropical agro-ecosystems.     

PBAT生物降解膜覆盖对绿洲滴灌棉花土壤水热及产量的影响

为应对农田残膜污染,探明基于聚己二酸丁二醇酯-对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBAT)材料的完全生物降解地膜代替普通塑料地膜与滴灌结合在棉花滴灌上应用效果,于2015-2016年在新疆石河子大学节水灌溉试验站,分别设置4种不同厚度和降解诱导期生物降解地膜和普通塑料地膜共5种不同处理,研究不同覆盖对滴灌棉花土壤温度、水分及产量的影响,并对可降解膜降解性能和经济效益对比分析.2a试验结果表明,覆膜60～80 d开始出现降解,至覆盖180 d后出现均匀细纹并未完全降解,0.012mm可降解地膜覆膜180 d仅仅出现裂纹,降解速度较慢.0.010mm和0.012mm厚完全生物可降解地膜处理棉花苗期土壤0～25 cm平均温度较对照分别低0.94℃和1.34℃(P＜0.05),但随着作物生长两者差异逐渐减小.4种类型可降解膜覆盖在棉花生长前期均能提高土壤土壤水分,但随地膜降解和棉花生长后期则显著降低,与普通塑料地膜相比土壤水分显著降低1％～3％.总体而言,覆盖完全生物可降解地膜处理2a平均产量较CK减少2％～3％,水分利用效率减少4％左右(P＜0.05),净收入少1 858.5元/hm2 (10.2％),4种类型可降解地膜产投比相比,厚度较薄0.010mm处理应用经济效果较好.可见,目前全生物降解地膜若要代替普通地膜,解决残膜污染,仍需进行较大的改善.     

巢湖流域土地利用效益测度与综合判定

依据土地利用效益空间分异,能够实现区域资源优化配置。合理判定用地效益显得至关重要。土地利用类型差异化而体现用地效益多元化。为此,本研究选取社会经济及城镇化快速发展的巢湖流域,按照农用地和建设用地两大用地类型,差异化构建不同评价指标体系,采用熵权-TOPSIS模型与二维象限法构建的农用地–建设用地效益综合评判逻辑模型,测度了巢湖流域农用地效益和建设用地效益,以及综合评判了研究区的用地效益。结果表明:研究区农用地效益整体较偏低,效益值范围0.074 0~0.712 9,区域差异显著,庐阳区、包河区、长丰县、舒城县属于较高级别,无为县、和县、金安区相对较低,效益值均尚未达到0.100 0;建设用地效益区域差异悬殊,效益值范围0.048 7~0.918 4,较高区域集中于合肥市辖区及肥西县、肥东县、长丰县等紧邻合肥县域,巢湖市、庐江县、和县、含山县、金安区、舒城县普遍较低。研究区归入到4个象限类型的评价单元数,依次为4、1、5、4个,结合不同类型象限内涵,本文分别针对每个区县提出了农用地和建设用地的效益提升对策和建议。     

秸秆还田对汉中盆地稻田土壤有机碳组分、碳储量及水稻产量的影响

为探索稻麦或稻油轮作制下,小麦、油菜秸秆还田对汉中盆地稻田土壤碳库组分的变化,设置小麦秸秆不还田(WSN)、小麦秸秆常规还田(WS)、小麦秸秆促腐还田(WSM)、油菜秸秆不还田(RSN)、油菜秸秆常规还田(RS)、油菜秸秆促腐还田(RSM),共6个处理,通过大田试验研究了不同秸秆类型及还田方式对稻田0—5,5—10,10—15,15—20,20—25cm 5个土壤层次中的土壤容重、总有机碳(TOC)、活性有机碳(LOC)、活性有机碳效率(ACL)、碳储量(SCS)、碳库管理指数(CPMI)及水稻产量的影响。结果表明:秸秆还田显著降低0—15cm土层容重,对15—25cm并未产生显著影响。与不还田相比,秸秆还田明显增加了各层次土壤有机碳库指标含量,但TOC和LOC含量均随土壤深度的增加而减少,两者在0—15cm土层含量较高,具有明显的表层富集现象;与不还田相比,小麦及油菜秸秆还田后可明显增加稻田0—25cm土层中的土壤碳储量(SCS),增幅可达21.9%~23.5%和1.7%~6.7%。不同土层中的LOC、ACL、CPIM对秸秆类型的响应不同,具体表现为小麦秸秆还田(WS、WSM)对0—15cm土层具有显著促进作用,而油菜秸秆还田(RS、RSM)对15—25cm土层中的有显著促进作用。产量方面,秸秆促腐还田模式下(WSM、RSM)水稻产量最高,常规还田模式(WSN、RSN)次之,而不还田时产量最低。相关分析显示0—10cm土壤活性有机碳有效率与水稻产量显著相关。秸秆还田是提高汉中盆地稻田土壤有机碳和产量较为有效的农田管理措施。两种轮作模式下,小麦秸秆全量旋耕还田更有利于固持稻田土壤有机碳和增加水稻产量增加。
