宁南旱区草粮轮作系统中紫花苜蓿适宜利用年限研究

2002-2004年对宁南旱区不同生长年限紫花苜蓿土壤理化性状和紫花苜蓿-谷子轮作进行了研究。结果表明,随着紫花苜蓿生长年限延长,土壤生态环境得到改善。紫花苜蓿3~22年生期间,0~100 cm土壤容重减少了0.213 g/cm3,孔隙度增加8.03%,饱和持水率增加14.17%,持水能力增强。6~22年生期间,0~60 cm土层有机质和碱解氮平均含量分别增加1.60 g/kg和11.02 mg/kg,pH值降低了0.09,为轮作作物生长创造了良好的土壤环境。紫花苜蓿轮作年份越早,土壤水分恢复效果越好,轮作作物水分利用效率越高;反之,紫花苜蓿生长时间过长,轮作后不利于土壤水分的恢复。6,10和22年生紫花苜蓿地轮作谷子收获后,0~200 cm土壤水分恢复量分别为63.06,55.22和-42.55 mm,轮作谷子产量分别为1 725.95,1 485.80和1 560.75 kg/hm2,水分利用效率分别为12.011 6,8.432 5和5.816 1 kg/mm.hm2。为使旱区农地有限的土壤水分达到合理、高效及可持续利用,取得较大的经济效益、生态效益和社会效益,紫花苜蓿实行草粮轮作的最适宜年限在5~6年生。

THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN RETRACTED Exergy as an ecological application used in the recovery process of benthic communities

Exergy, the thermodynamic function that represents the distance of an open system from equilibrium, is proposed as an ecological indicator for summarizing the complex dynamics occurring in a disturbed community during its recovery processes. These complex dynamics can be difficult to capture by using classical indices. In this study, we sampled macrobenthos using the BACI scheme (before versus after; control versus impact) in tidal wetlands of west Chongming Island, China, an area that has been disturbed by ecological engineering measures. Exergy storage is estimated for benthic communities. The control area is proposed as dynamic reference for estimating local exergy storage of the benthic community. Three different methods were used for estimating exergy on the basis of coefficients: (a) taken for taxa groups; (b) estimated from coding genes given for broad taxonomic groups; and (c) estimated from genome size taken as close as possible to the taxonomic level of the species, providing a basis for inferring similarities. We found a decrease of local exergy content in the disturbed area 9 days after the disturbance. Subsequently, the reference exergy of the benthic community increased (i.e. in the surrounding control area) in accordance with the proposed hypothesis regarding the dynamics of exergy storage during a system's development. Estimates of local exergy arrived at using the three methods provided comparable results. Based on this, we then discuss the feasibility of using the more readily available genome size data for estimating exergy. This result may have important implications for broader application of this indicator to biological systems. Moreover, the adjacent control samples seem to represent an appropriate dynamic reference for estimating the local exergy of disturbed communities. We found that exergy was a useful indicator that integrates the processes underlying the recovery of the benthic community after disturbance.     

茶园生态系统服务功能

茶园生态系统是农业生态系统的组成之一，茶树及其间作植物与环境既有矛盾的一面，又有统一的一面，两者构成一个有机的整体。生物体必须与它的环境条件相适应才能生存和发展这一基本原理，无论自然生态系统或茶园生态系统都是一致的。人们认识到，茶园生态系统不仅向人类提供茶叶、其他的一些副产品，如水果、蔬菜、药材和家禽、家畜等，更重要的是它也维持了地球生命支持系统，即涵养水源、改良土壤、防止水土流失、减轻自然灾害、调节气候、净化环境、孕育和保存生物多样性等功能，以及具有观赏园林价值、展示传统文化、旅游休憩等社会功能。文中论述了茶园的生态服务功能、经济服务功能、社会服务功能。     

Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Pigeons from Public Parks in Costa Rica

Antimicrobial resistance is known to be an emerging problem, but the extent of the issue remains incomplete. The aim of this study was to determine the presence or absence of nine resistance genes (bla_TEM, catI, mecA, qnrS, sulI, sulII, tet(A), tet(Q), vanA) in the faeces of 141 pigeons from four urban parks in Alajuela, Guadalupe, Tres Ríos and San José in Costa Rica. The genes were identified by real‐time PCR directly from enema samples. About 30% of the samples were positive for genes catI and sulI; between 13% and 17% were positive for qnrS, sulII, tet(A) and tet(Q); and 4% were positive for bla_TEM. The mecA and vanA genes were not detected. The average of antimicrobial resistance genes detected per pigeon was 2. Eight different patterns of resistance were identified, without differences in the sampling areas, being the most common pattern 2 (sulII positive samples). During rainy season, the genes more frequently found were sulI and tet(A). In conclusion, the urban inhabiting pigeons tested are currently carrying antimicrobial resistance genes, potentially acting as reservoirs of resistant bacteria and vectors to humans. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study carried out on direct detection of resistance genes in the digestive metagenomes of pigeons.
