干旱指数及其在青海东部旱区特征分析上的应用

在土壤水分平衡关系分析的基础上,提出了分析和评估旱害的5项指标:贫水指数、凋萎指数、降水指数、综合指数和干旱指数,并依据干旱指数对乐都浅山地区1961～1999年的粮食生产进行了年型分类。结果为:39a间共发生特大旱1a,大旱年3a,中旱年19a,轻旱年11a,平水年5a;发生机率分别为2.6%、7.69%、48.72%、26.21%、12.82%。同时认为青海东部地区旱区作物需水和耗水参数矛盾突出,干旱几乎年年发生,具有明显的难以预测性、多变性和不可控性。

Identification of a periorbital wooden foreign body as the cause of chronic ocular discharge in a horse

The clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of a horse with a wooden foreign body embedded in the deep portion of the right masseter muscle adjacent to the right orbit are presented. The purpose of this report is to describe the clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging findings and treatment of a penetrating wooden foreign body in a horse that had no history of trauma or evidence of a puncture wound. This report documents the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging to detect a wooden foreign body embedded in the soft tissues of a horse with a chronic copious ocular discharge. Two surgical procedures were necessary, which is a frequent complication encountered with wooden foreign bodies.

试论灌木是干旱、半干旱区草地恢复中重要的生物资源

西北干旱、半干旱荒漠区是我国典型的荒漠生态系统.灌木是荒漠植被的主要组分,它在维持荒漠生态系统生物多样性、生态服务功能及其稳定性方面具有重要作用.20世纪下半叶,人口和经济快速增长导致的高强度人类活动,深刻地改变了荒漠生态系统的结构及水分和能量循环过程,致使灌木植物严重退化.为了保育灌木资源,提高人们对灌木在草地恢复中重要作用的认识,从改良土壤、物种多样性、防风固沙等方面论述了灌木在草地恢复过程中的特殊作用.建议在草业方面开展深入研究,以便使灌木在草地恢复中发挥更大的效能.     

绿洲灌溉区与旱作区多龄苜蓿地土壤有机碳、氮及物理特性分析

以甘肃灌区和旱作区苜蓿(Medicago sativa)地土壤为研究对象,对不同地域的苜蓿地土壤全氮(TSN)、有机碳(SOC)、容重、含水量进行测定,结果表明:灌区SOC含量均高于旱作区,在90~100cm土层其含量与旱作区差值最大,达3.41g/kg。在0~100cm灌区SOC含量为6.81~12.49g/kg,均值为9.25g/kg,比旱作区高22%。旱作区TSN含量随土壤深度的增加而减小,含量在(1.03±0.01)~(0.44±0.04)g/kg。在0~30cm灌区TSN含量相对较稳定,差异不显著(P0.05),在30~60cm剖面全氮含量急剧下降,70~100cm含量变化较为稳定,TSN含量维持在(0.66±0.01)g/kg。旱作苜蓿地土壤含水量在0~60cm变化不显著(P0.05),0~100cm土壤含水量均值为(14.437±1.124)%,灌区苜蓿地土壤含水量均值为(16.025±2.029)%。随着土壤深度的增加,旱作区和灌区苜蓿地土壤容重均呈现依次增大的分布规律,旱作区最大值为(1.421±0.034)g/cm,比最小值高出17.5%,灌区最大值(1.332±0.017)g/cm,比最小值高出11.3%.     

青土湖水面形成区土壤颗粒组成与化学特性变化

青土湖输水作为石羊河流域治理的一项关键措施,对保护湖区水资源和生态环境具有重要意义。在距青土湖水面边缘东南方向0-450 m的10个样点中分3层取0-60 cm土样,测定土壤粒径的质量百分比与全氮、全磷、全钾和电导率,分析青土湖水面形成后土壤颗粒组成与化学特性变化。结果表明, 随着离水面边缘距离的增加,土壤颗粒与化学特性呈有规律的增减变化,土壤粘粉粒组成与其全磷、全钾之间存在正线性相关。青土湖水面形成加剧了距水面边缘0-150 m处的土壤理化性质变化;土壤细粒及养分出现富集,分别在距水面边缘100-150 m和300 m处达到最大值。因此,土壤养分与土壤细物质的良好相关性表明,土壤粘粉粒变化可作为反映该区域土壤性状变化和评价衡量水面形成后土壤恢复程度的定量指标之一。     

家蚕地方品种线粒体基因组A+T丰富区的序列及分子进化分析

为了研究家蚕线粒体基因组A+T丰富区的结构和家蚕品种的进化,用PCR方法扩增了12个家蚕(Bombyxmori)地方品种线粒体基因组A+T丰富区及其侧翼序列,分离纯化后克隆到pMD18-T载体进行测序。序列分析表明,克隆片段长度约1.1 kb,基因排列顺序与C108线粒体相同,依次为12S rRNA基因3′端、A+T丰富区、tRNAMet、tRNAIle、tRNAGln和ND2基因5′端,在tRNAGln和ND2基因之间有47 bp的非编码区。以日本野桑蚕(Bombyxmandarina)为外群,用Phylip软件包构建了基于12个家蚕品种线粒体基因组A+T丰富区序列的NJ进化树。结果显示,甘肃种单独聚为一群,其进化早于其它11个品种聚成的类群,说明甘肃种是供试家蚕品种中进化最早的品种。这一结果在分子水平上为黄河流域是家蚕品种的发祥地之一提供了证据,也进一步支持了家蚕品种的中国起源说。对A+T丰富区及其侧翼基因的结构分析表明,家蚕线粒体12S rRNA和ND2基因都十分保守,14个品种统计只分别发生1个和2个碱基转换;A+T丰富区中(A+T)比例高达94.9%以上,第27 nt开始有1个T-串结构,长度为16~19 bp不等;同时还根据3个tRNA基因的核苷酸序列推定了其二级结构。     

Floristic diversity and vegetation patterns along disturbance gradient in arid coasts in southern Mediterranean: Case of the Gulf of Gabès,southern Tunisia

Knowledge about vegetation patterns along disturbance gradients is essential for conservation and management of coastal habitats in arid regions. This study focuses on the floristic diversity and the factors controlling the vegetation structure in the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia). For this purpose, the floristic diversity of 120 relevés belonging to three coastal sites with different disturbance levels (40 relevés per site) was analyzed in relation with 10 environmental and anthropogenic factors. Therophytes constitute 54% of the 237 plants species belonging to 44 families identified in the present study. The species richness and floristic diversity indices exhibited a similar trend and peaked in the slightly disturbed site (H′?=?3.38; S?=?176). The similarity between sites was relatively low and reached its maximum between the little and the highly disturbed sites. Two-way indicator species analysis and detrended correspondence analysis applied on the floristic data resulted in groups mainly determined by disturbance level by explicitly segregating the three sites. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) indicated that the spatial pattern of species composition was mainly influenced by anthropogenic variables. Partial CCA revealed that the effect of anthropogenic variables on floristic composition was thrice higher than the effect of environmental variables (57.5% vs. 18.4%, respectively). Overall, this study provides a broad understanding of the floristic diversity and vascular plant richness in the Gulf of Gabès. The obtained results reflected a disturbance–diversity pattern and thus revealed the obvious importance of maintaining the intermediate disturbance for biodiversity conservation and monitoring.     

Note: Molecular identification of three entomopathogenic nematodes from turkey by PCR-RFLP of the ITS regions

Molecular identification methods are widely used for the classification of organisms worldwide. Entomopathogenic nematodes are the most often isolated insect parasitic nematodes in the tropical and subtropical regions. In our investigation, PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction — Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) of the ITS region (Internal Transcribed Spacer) on the ribosomal (r) DNA of three entomopathogenic nematodes isolated from Ankara, Turkey, was analyzed for identification. The ITS region of rDNA was amplified by PCR and then digested with the following nine restriction enzymes: Alu I, Dde I, Hae III, Hha I, Hind III, Hinf I, Hpa II, Rsa I and Sau 3AI. The amplified and restricted sequences of the ITS regions were separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and the RFLP patterns of these three species were shown in this study. According to our results, these species were identified asSteinernema feltiae, Steinernema carpocapsae andHeterorhabditis bacteriophora. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Nov. 4, 2005.
