半干旱黄土高原苜蓿草地撂荒过程土壤水分变化特征

土壤水分是黄土高原植被恢复和生态建设的主要限制因子,明确土壤水分随植被演替的变化规律是阐明黄土高原植被与水分相互作用机制的重要基础。以半干旱黄土高原小流域苜蓿草地撂荒过程为研究对象,通过对2016-2018年生长季苜蓿群落、苜蓿+赖草群落、赖草群落和长芒草群落四种草地群落0-1.8 m土壤水分进行动态监测以及0-5 m深度土壤水分测定,分析不同演替阶段苜蓿草地土壤水分的动态特征,探讨土壤水分对苜蓿草地撂荒过程的响应。结果表明：（1）在苜蓿草地撂荒演替过程中,土壤水分随群落恢复时间的延长呈先增加后降低的变化,降水的年际动态显著影响不同演替群落的土壤水分响应;（2）0-0.4 m土壤水分主要受降水影响,使得各草地群落在这一层次没有显著差异（P>0.05）,而1 m以下的土壤水分含量则主要受植被类型的影响,各草地群落之间存在显著差异（P<0.05）;（3）0-5 m深层土壤水分随群落的演替,1 m以下各土层土壤水分含量逐渐增加,表明撂荒过程中使土壤水分得到了一定程度的恢复。研究结果揭示了苜蓿草地撂荒过程土壤水分的变化规律,可为黄土高原生态恢复提供理论依据。     

基于Meta分析的中国北方植被建设对土壤水分影响

植被建设是中国北方干旱半干旱地区防治风蚀和水蚀的最为有效手段,而合理的植被建设需要考虑土壤水分的植被承载力。在收集有关中国北方干旱半干旱地区植被建设后土壤水分研究文献的基础上,采用Meta分析研究了该地区植被建设(乔木和灌木)对土壤水分的影响。结果表明:北方干旱半干旱地区植被建设总体上对深层(40 cm以下)土壤水分含量产生显著降低作用(结合效应值为-0.40);乔木栽植导致土壤水分含量大幅度降低(-0.58),灌木栽植也在一定程度上导致土壤水分含量降低(-0.27),但其影响不显著;亚组分析表明,建植年限20 a的乔木以及栽植在降雨量超过400 mm以上地区的乔木是导致土壤水分含量显著降低的主要因素(其结合效应值分别为-0.62和-0.69);因此,乔木栽植对于土壤水分的消耗大于灌木,在该地区开展灌木栽植能够有效提高土壤水分利用效率。     

Oxygen consumption by ammocoetes of the lampreyGeotria australis in air

 When covered by moistened lint-free gauze, the larvae (ammocoetes) of the lamprey Geotria australis survived, without apparent discomfort, for 4 days in water-saturated air at 10, 15 and 20 °C. In air, the mean standard rates of O₂ consumption of medium to large ammocoetes of G. australis (xˉ=0.52 g) at 10, 15 and 20 °C were 14.5, 35.7 and 52.1 μl⋅g^-1⋅h^-1, respectively. At 15 °C, the slope of the relationship between log O₂ consumption (μl O₂⋅h^-1) and log body weight for ammocoetes over a wide range in body weight was 0.987. The Q ₁₀s for rate of O₂ consumption between 10 and 15 °C, 15 and 20 °C and 10 and 20 °C were 4.9, 2.9 and 3.6, respectively. Our results and observations of the ammocoetes suggest that, when out of water, larval G. australis derives most of its O₂ requirements from cutaneous respiration, particularly at lower temperatures. This would be facilitated by the small size and elongate shape (and thus a relatively high surface-to-volume ratio), low metabolic rate, thin dermis, extensive subdermal capillary network and high haemoglobin concentration of larval G. australis.

Effects of active and passive hyperthermia on heat shock protein 70 (HSP70)

Summary. The purpose of this study was to delineate the effects of hyperthermia and physical exercise on the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) response in circulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Six healthy, young (age: 24 ± 3 yrs), moderately trained males (VO_2max: 48.9 ± 2.7 ml · kg · min⁻¹) undertook two experimental trials in a randomised fashion in which the core temperature (T _c) was increased and then maintained at 39 °C during a 90 min bout by either active (AH) or passive (PH) means. AH involved subjects cycling at 90% of their lactate threshold in attire designed to impede heat loss mechanisms. In the PH trial, subjects were immersed up to the neck in a hot bath (40.2 ± 0.4 °C), once the critical T _c was achieved, intermittent cycling and water immersions were prescribed for the AH and PH conditions, respectively, to maintain the T _c at 39 °C. HSP70 was measured intracellularly pre, post and 4 h after trials, from circulating PBMCs using an ELISA technique. T _c reached 39 °C quicker in PH than during AH trials (PH: 21 ± 4 min vs. AH: 39 ± 6 min; P < 0.01), thereafter T _c was maintained around 39 °C (PH: 39.1 ± 0.2 °C; AH: 38.8 ± 0.3 °C; P > 0.05). AH induced a marked leukocytosis in all sub-sets (P < 0.05). PH generated significant monocytosis and granulocytosis (P < 0.05), without changes in lymphocyte counts (P > 0.05). There were no significant increases in intracellular HSP70 at 0 h (AH: Δ − 21.1 ± 44.8; PH: Δ + 12.5 ± 32.4 ng/mg TP/10³/μl PBMCs; P > 0.05) and 4 h (AH: Δ − 30.0 ± 40.1; PH: Δ + 36.3 ± 70.4 ng/mg TP/10³/μl PBMCs; P > 0.05) post active and passive heating. Peak HSP70 expressed as a fold-change from rest was also not increased by AH (1.1 ± 0.9; P > 0.05) or PH (3.2 ± 4.8; P > 0.05). There were no significant differences between the AH and PH trials at any time-point, and the HSP70 response appeared to be individual specific. These results did not allow us to delineate the effects of hyperthermia and other exercise associated stressors on the heat shock response and therefore further work is warranted.

柴达木盆地蒸散发遥感估算与耗水有效性评价

陆面蒸散发(ET)是自然生态系统水分耗散的主要方式,准确把握其时空变化特征,对于区域水资源合理利用与生态环境保护具有重要意义。针对我国西北干旱内陆区实测资料匮乏的现状,基于MODIS产品,构建了具有时空二维属性的地表温度-植被指数特征空间,实现了柴达木盆地陆面蒸散发的时空连续估算;在此基础上,进一步分离土壤蒸发与植被蒸腾,开展研究区自然生态系统耗水有效性评价。结果表明:(1)柴达木盆地近九年多年平均ET为188.75 mm,受降水空间分布格局影响,ET具有明显的从东南向西北减少趋势;(2)土壤蒸发与植被蒸腾多年平均值为171.06 mm和14.26 mm,后者年内峰值出现时间总体比前者晚1个月,具有滞后效应;(3)盆地陆地生态系统多年平均耗水总量为430.94亿m³,其中高效、中效和低效耗水的占比分别为6.55%、52.57%和40.88%。在区域尺度以时空连续的方式揭示了ET水分消耗的有效性,可为基于ET水资源管理目标的实现提供重要科学支撑。     

黄土高原水土保持林对土壤水分的影响

黄土高原植被恢复的限制因素主要是土壤水分,植被与土壤水分关系的研究对黄土高原植被恢复具有重要意义.2008年7月1日至2009年10月31日间采用EnviroSMART土壤水分定位监测系统以每30min监测1次的频度,对晋西黄土区刺槐人工林地、油松人工林地、次生林地的土壤水分变化进行了研究.研究得出:次生林地0-150 cm土层中平均蓄水量为331.95mm,刺槐人工林地为233.85 mm,有整地措施的油松人工林地为314.85mm,刺槐人工林比次生林多消耗的98.10mm土壤水分主要来源于80 cm以下土层.次生林主要消耗0-80 cm土层的水分,而人工林不但对0-80 cm土层水分的消耗量大于次生林,对深层土壤的消耗也较次生林大,这将有可能导致人工林地深层土壤的“干化”.在土壤水分减少期(11-1月)刺槐人工林土壤水分的日均损耗量为0.86mm、油松人工林为0.82 mm、次生林为0.84 mm.土壤水分缓慢恢复期(2-5月)刺槐人工林地土壤水分的恢复速度0.90mm/d,油松人工林地为0.53 mm/d、次生林地为0.79 mm/d.土壤水分剧烈变化期(5-10月)刺槐人工林地土壤水分含量的极差为95.71mm,油松人工林地为179.1mm,次生林地为72.03mm.在干旱少雨的黄土高原进行植被恢复时,应多采取封山育林等方式,依靠自然力量形成能够与当地土壤水资源相协调的次生林,是防止人工植被过度耗水形成“干化层”、保障水土保持植被持续发挥生态服务功能的关键.     

土壤蒸发和植被蒸腾对三江源退化高寒草甸蒸散的影响

蒸散（ET）主要由土壤蒸发（E）和植被蒸腾（T）组成,然而难以把E与T从陆地生态系统ET中区分开。为阐明位于青海省境内的三江源区（89°24''—102°23''E,31°39''—36°16''N）高寒草甸E和T对生态系统ET的影响,利用小型蒸渗仪和微气象系统定量研究了三江源退化高寒草甸ET、E和T的变化,以及植被和环境因子对其的影响。结果表明：2017和2018年的ET分别为467.7 mm和479.2 mm,其中生长季（5—9月）约占72%,且E对生态系统ET的贡献（56%）大于T（44%）,年降水量（P）的90%以上通过ET返回大气（ET/P > 90%）。根据生长季中不同植被覆盖度的蒸渗仪观测结果发现,ET随植被覆盖度的降低而增加。逐步回归分析表明,净辐射（R_n）是驱动生态系统ET、E、T最主要的因子;另外,E对饱和水汽压差（VPD）的响应更敏感,而T受空气温度（T_a）的影响更大;土壤含水量（SWC₅）对蒸散的影响相对较小,可能由于研究区降水相对较多的原因。结果说明,草甸退化将加剧土壤蒸发,进而导致生态系统散失更多的水分。     

Characterization of the catalytically active Mn(II)-loaded argE -encoded N -acetyl-l -ornithine deacetylase from Escherichia coli

The catalytically competent Mn(II)-loaded form of the argE-encoded N-acetyl-l-ornithine deacetylase from Escherichia coli (ArgE) was characterized by kinetic, thermodynamic, and spectroscopic methods. Maximum N-acetyl-l-ornithine (NAO) hydrolytic activity was observed in the presence of one Mn(II) ion with k _cat and K _m values of 550 s⁻¹ and 0.8 mM, respectively, providing a catalytic efficiency (k _cat/K _m) of 6.9 × 10⁵ M⁻¹ s⁻¹. The ArgE dissociation constant (K _d) for Mn(II) was determined to be 0.18 μM, correlating well with a value obtained by isothermal titration calorimetry of 0.30 μM for the first metal binding event and 5.3 μM for the second. An Arrhenius plot of the NAO hydrolysis for Mn(II)-loaded ArgE was linear from 15 to 55 °C, suggesting the rate-limiting step does not change as a function of temperature over this range. The activation energy, determined from the slope of this plot, was 50.3 kJ mol⁻¹. Other thermodynamic parameters were ΔG ^‡ = 58.1 kJ mol⁻¹, ΔH ^‡ = 47.7 kJ mol⁻¹, and ΔS ^‡ = –34.5 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. Similarly, plots of lnK _m versus 1/T were linear, suggesting substrate binding is controlled by a single step. The natural product, [(2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl]leucine (bestatin), was found to be a competitive inhibitor of ArgE with a K _i value of 67 μM. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data recorded for both [Mn(II)_(ArgE)] and [Mn(II)Mn(II)(ArgE)] indicate that the two Mn(II) ions form a dinuclear site. Moreover, the EPR spectrum of [Mn(II)Mn(II)(ArgE)] in the presence of bestatin indicates that bestatin binds to ArgE but does not form a μ-alkoxide bridge between the two metal ions.     

Variations in daytime net carbon and water exchange in a montane shrubland ecosystem in southeast Spain

Carbon and water fluxes in a semiarid shrubland ecosystem located in the southeast of Spain (province of Almería) were measured continuously over one year using the eddy covariance technique. We examined the influence of environmental variables on daytime (photosynthetically active photons, F _P >10 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹) ecosystem gas exchange and tested the ability of an empirical eco-physiological model based on F _P to estimate carbon fluxes over the whole year. The daytime ecosystem fluxes showed strong seasonality. During two solstitial periods, summer with warm temperatures (>15 °C) and sufficient soil moisture (>10 % vol.) and winter with mild temperatures (>5 °C) and high soil moisture contents (>15 % vol.), the photosynthetic rate was higher than the daytime respiration rate and mean daytime CO₂ fluxes were ca. −1.75 and −0.60 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively. Daytime evapotranspiration fluxes averaged ca. 2.20 and 0.24 mmol m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively. By contrast, in summer and early autumn with warm daytime temperatures (>10 °C) and dry soil (<10 % vol.), and also in mid-winter with near-freezing daytime temperatures the shrubland behaved as a net carbon source (mean daytime CO₂ release of ca. 0.60 and 0.20 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹, respectively). Furthermore, the comparison of water and carbon fluxes over a week in June 2004 and June 2005 suggests that the timing—rather than amount—of spring rainfall may be crucial in determining growing season water and carbon exchange. Due to strongly limiting environmental variables other than F _P, the model applied here failed to describe daytime carbon exchange only as a function of F _P and could not be used over most of the year to fill gaps in the data.     

变化环境影响下张承地区水源涵养和土壤保持服务及其权衡与协同关系研究

张家口-承德地区是京津冀环境优化的战略要地,开展水源涵养和土壤保持服务的定量评估对维护生态系统的安全运行意义重大。综合运用InVEST模型、空间偏相关统计制图及情景模拟等手段,分析了张承地区近20年水源涵养和土壤保持服务的时空变化特征及其复杂空间关系,定量评估二者对气候和土地利用变化的响应。结果表明:2000-2019年张承地区水源涵养量、土壤保持强度分别以0.97mm/a的速率增加和-0.50t hm^-2 a^-1的速率减少,空间上二者均呈西低(坝上高原)东高(冀北及燕山山地)的分布格局。冀北及燕山山地落叶阔叶林生态区水源涵养和土壤保持能力强,二者空间关系以协同为主;坝上高原草原与农业生态区则权衡关系更占优势。水源涵养和土壤保持服务关系复杂,空间上与区域土地利用类型、植被覆盖度和坡度关系密切。情景模拟结果表明,降水(r=0.90,P<0.01)对水源涵养服务的影响远大于潜在蒸散(r=-0.37,P>0.1),且降水变幅越大对水源涵养量的作用越强;而降水变化与土壤保持服务呈线性正相关关系,降水每增加(减少)10%引起土壤保持强度增加(减少)74.7t/hm²。预计2030年张承地区水源涵养能力将明显提升,土壤保持能力变化不大,届时人为干扰(如生态保护、规划控制)将对提升水源涵养服务产生重要影响。为改善张承地区水源涵养和土壤保持服务,需同时考虑多种因素的综合影响,以制定更合理的政策措施。建议继续加大国家重点生态工程建设,尽可能限制建设用地扩张,提高植被覆盖度,尤其加强保护关键坡度带是今后生态管理工作应关注的重点。     

六种藓类植物茎的比较解剖学研究

通过对6种藓类植物,即褶叶青藓(Brachythecium salebrosum(Web.et Mohr.)B.S.G.)、湿地匐灯藓(Plagiomnium acutum(Lindb.)Kop.)、侧枝匐灯藓(Plagiomnium maximoviczii(Lindb.)Kop.)、大凤尾藓(Fissidensnobilis Griff.)、大羽藓(Thuidium cymbifolium(Doz.et Molk.)B.S.G.)和大灰藓(Hypnum plumaeforme Wils.)嫩茎和老茎的石蜡切片和显微观察发现,同一藓类植株的嫩茎和老茎,茎结构稳定,不同种藓类植物茎横切面具有不同特征.植物体茎横切面形状、表层细胞的层数、细胞大小和细胞壁厚薄、皮层细胞大小和形状、中轴的有无以及比例等特征可以作为藓类植物的分科分类依据之一.     

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.

The effects of glutamine of the maintenance of embryogenic cultures of Cryptomeria japonica

Summary Embryogenic tissues of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) were induced on a modified Campbell and Durzan (CD) medium containing 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 600 mg l⁻¹ glutamine, and subcultured in the medium of the same composition for over 1 yr. This resulted in a mixed culture of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells. When embryogenic cells were isolated and cultured independently, their capacity to form embryogenic aggregates was lost. Thus, the non-embryogenic cells present within a mixed culture system were essential to the formation of embryogenic aggregates. When embryogenic tissues were isolated and cultured independently on a high glutamine-containing (2400 mg l⁻¹) medium, dry weights and endogenous levels of glutamine increased, and the tissue could generate a large number of embryogenic aggregates. Amino acid analysis of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells from the maintenance culture indicated a higher level of glutamine was present in the latter. The high endogenous level of glutamine in the non-embryogenic portion of mixed cell masses may be the supplier of glutamine for maintaining the embryogenic property of the tissues.     

Specificity of action of piperidylcholine derivatives as substrates of cholinesterases of various origin

The review deals with study of enzymologic properties of a novel highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate, N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium iodomethylate (“piperidylcholine”), and its 30 derivatives that were tested as effectors of cholinesterases of mammals and various species of Pacific squids. It was proven for the first time that responsible for specificity of action was structure of cyclic ammonium grouping of the alcohol part of molecule of the ester substrate. Analysis of specificity is performed based on enzymatic hydrolysis parameters—activity of catalytic center of cholinesterases and bimolecular constant of the reaction rate that are determined at optimal and low substrate concentrations. Among the specially synthesized group of thioester compounds there is revealed one more highly specific acetylcholinesterase substrate—N-(β-acetoxyethyl) piperidinium.

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.     

The mechanism of hatching of eggs of Haemonchus contortus

Fluid collected from hatching eggs of Haemonchus contortus contained a lipase which hydrolysed 2-naphthyl laurate (about 0·7 μmol naphthol freed /h/10⁶ eggs). The fluid also hydrolysed l-leucinamide (about 2·3 μmol leucine freed/h/10⁶ eggs). The fluid when added to normal or heated eggs caused ‘hatching’. ‘Hatching’ also occurred in exsheathing fluid from infective juveniles and in a preparation of pancreatic lipase containing leucine aminopeptidase. A purified mammalian leucine aminopeptidase in combination with several different lipases did not attack egg shells.The ‘spontaneous’ hatching of eggs of H. contortus was strongly inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline, 10^?3M, and this inhibition was reversed by Zn²⁺. However, the inhibition of ‘hatching’ of eggs in externally applied hatching fluid, or the hydrolysis of leucinamide in hatching fluid was generally less marked.
