切尔诺贝利核事故以来隔离区动物生态的研究概况

综述了切尔诺贝利核事故以来乌克兰Schmalhausen动物研究所(SIZ)对核工厂周围隔离区(exclusion zone, EZ)的野生动物所进行的长达20年的放射生态学调查研究。基于乌克兰以往鸟类迁移的观察资料，评估了¹³⁷ Cs和⁹⁰ Sr在隔离区候鸟体内的含量。而且还选择一些动物物种作为环境状况的标准指示生物，目的是为了阐明：¹³⁷ Cs在隔离区脊椎动物体内的污染情况；整个第聂伯河流域、基辅行政区和隔离区软体动物贝壳内⁹⁰ Sr的β活性。结果表明不同物种相对放射性核累积、迁移和累积因素呈有规律的季节性和长期性变化趋势，这些参数的运用可以大大地减少数据的波动和复杂性。直接辐射毁坏森林后，营养链的崩溃和病死树昆虫害虫的爆发导致了其次级生态变化。99%的隔离区并不直接受辐射的影响，人员撤离、农业和森林管理停止以及大规模排除污染是这些区域生态变化的主要因素。在初始变化之后，由于自然资源、捕食者和偷猎者等的限制，隔离区的动物密度和分布达到一个稳定的极限值。 数年前成功地在隔离区引入了一群蒙古野马，该群体保持了稳定增长。重新评估了以前划定的若干自然保护位点目前的保护状况，并提出了建议扩大这些自然保护区的范围等保护措施。     

4种植物对133Cs和88Sr污染土壤的修复研究

以露地盆栽的苏丹草、向日葵、芥菜、萝卜4种植物为对象,研究它们对土壤中不同浓度(0、2.5、5.0、10.0、20.0、40.0mg/kg)133Cs、88Sr的吸收积累状况,并比较它们对133Cs、88Sr污染土壤的修复效率。结果显示:(1)4种植物单株生物量在各浓度处理下均表现为向日葵>萝卜>芥菜>苏丹草,但它们对133Cs的吸收能力为萝卜>苏丹草>向日葵>芥菜,单株133Cs累积量为向日葵>萝卜>苏丹草>芥菜,单株88Sr累积量表现为萝卜、向日葵>苏丹草>芥菜,而且4种植物对88Sr的吸收能力均强于133Cs。(2)萝卜在除10.0mg/kg133Cs外的各处理中富集系数均大于1,对土壤中133Cs的吸收能力较强;苏丹草在除5.0mg/kg133Cs处理外的转运系数均大于1,其余3种植物在各处理中的转运系数均低于1;88Sr在萝卜体内从根系向上转运到地上部分的能力明显高于其它3种植物,芥菜、向日葵次之。(3)4种植物对88Sr在体内向上的迁移转运能力均大于133Cs。研究表明,向日葵单株对133Cs、88Sr污染土壤的修复效率最高,萝卜次之,且向日葵和萝卜分别因其生物量和吸收能力优势而对被污染土壤中的133Cs和88Sr具有更强的提取能力。     

向日葵(Helianthus annuus L.)对133Cs、88Sr的吸收和分布

通过盆栽试验研究了向日葵(Helianthus annuus L.)对土壤中不同处理浓度¹³³Cs和⁸⁸Sr的吸收,以及¹³³Cs和⁸⁸Sr在向日葵不同部位的分布。结果表明：随着处理浓度的增加,植物中¹³³Cs或⁸⁸Sr的含量增加。同一处理浓度下,⁸⁸Sr含量约比¹³³Cs含量高一个数量级。¹³³Cs和⁸⁸Sr在植物不同部位分布不同。根部中¹³³Cs含量高于植物的其他部位（茎、叶、花）。不同于¹³³Cs在植物中的分布,⁸⁸Sr除在根中的分布外,主要转运到了叶片。¹³³Cs和⁸⁸Sr在向日葵体内的分布与目前对放射性¹³⁷Cs和⁹⁰Sr的研究结果相似,所以¹³³Cs和⁸⁸Sr可分别预测¹³⁷Cs和⁹⁰Sr的运转。向日葵是治理大面积低放核素污染土壤的较佳植物种类。     

青城山森林公园兽类和鸟类资源初步调查: 基于红外相机数据

<正>陆生脊椎动物是生物多样性保护和管理评价的重要指示类群(Morrison et al.,2007;Liu et al.,2013)。全球多数生态系统中,许多大中型脊椎动物的种群数量在急剧下降,不少物种甚至遭遇灭顶之灾。而人类活动影响(如猎杀、森林砍伐、外来物种侵入、栖息地破坏和片断化等)是引起这些野生动物种群和群落变化的直接或间接原因(Morrison et al.,2007)。同时,野生动物种群和群落变化对生态系统其他物种也产生了严重的生态后果,如食果动物的     

激光雷达技术在动物生态学领域的研究进展

激光雷达(light detection and ranging, LiDAR)作为一门新兴的主动遥感技术, 近年来由于在提取和反演森林参数水平上不断提高, 被越来越多地应用于动物生态学研究中。本文通过整理和搜集国内外文献, 对激光雷达的技术特点及其在森林参数提取和动物生境上的研究进展进行综述, 指出当前基于LiDAR的森林参数反演算法主要服务于森林资源调查或林学研究, 缺少对动物生态或生理意义相关的参数量化信息。目前该技术在国内的动物生态学方面的应用较少, 尚未见文章发表。通过总结国外学者的研究, 分别从动物生境选择与三维森林结构的关系、栖息地立体生境制图、生物多样性评估和物种分布模型预测三个方面综述了LiDAR在动物生态学研究中的应用现状。相比传统方法, LiDAR技术提供的高精度三维结构信息, 能够显著提高动物生境质量的评估、生物多样性的监测水平和物种分布模型的评价精度, 有利于从机理上加深对物种生境选择和集群过程的理解。但目前LiDAR技术的应用主要集中在对已知的生态关系研究, 尤其是冠层结构与动物分布的关系, 缺少对林下层生活的动物生境质量和生物多样性的监测和评估, 同时很多有关动物生存和繁衍与立体生境的关系研究有待从LiDAR数据中进一步挖掘分析。未来应加强对森林林下层三维信息的提取, 提高林下层动物生境质量和生物多样性的监测水平, 同时建立适用于动物生态和生理意义相关的参数, 为动物生境质量和生物多样性的评估提供标准的量化指标。

择伐对动物多样性的影响

择伐是生态林业持续利用的一种途径 ,即以达到在经济上是可持续的 ,保持稳定的木材产量 ,同时保护生物多样性。择伐对动物多样性的影响成为生物多样性保护和生态林业持续性研究的一个焦点。择伐因不同地区和不同森林类型以及择伐木的树种、大小、生长状况、分布格局、择伐的强度等不同 ,对不同动物类群的影响可能不同。大多数研究认为 ,在采伐迹地中 ,分布范围广或广适应种的物种多样性或丰富度将增加 ,而适应于原始林的专化种或狭生种的物种多样性或丰富度将下降。在自然干扰频繁的地区 ,择伐对动物多样性影响相对较小。在热带原始林 ,动物多样性受择伐影响大 ,而在温带森林 ,动物多样性受影响小。轻度的择伐对动物多样性影响小 ,因而与生物多样性保护相协调。采伐时 ,动物的食物树种、枯死木和为动物提供洞穴的树应得到保护。大多数研究仅比较了择伐对动物多样性的影响 ,而对择伐对动物多样性影响的生态学机制探讨较少。我国这方面开展的研究较少。未来的研究重点包括了解择伐对动物多样性影响的生态学机理、择伐对动物遗传多样性、生态系统过程、非指示类群的影响以及枯死木的生态功能。

物种受威胁状况评估:研究进展与中国的案例

评估物种濒危等级,确定物种保护优先序,是生物多样性保护的一项重要工作。通过不断的修订,IUCN红色名录濒危等级标准已经趋于完善。但是,目前人们还在探索在无法获得物种的种群数量、生境、生活史数据时,如何寻找替代指标评估物种濒危等级。我们综述了国内外物种濒危状况研究的进展,提出了结合物种分布区、生活史、生态功能、人为干扰和特殊利用价值的评估物种受威胁状况的方法,并以此方法评估了中国陆生脊椎动物的生存状况。结果表明,列入灭绝级的物种有5个,功能性灭绝级的物种有30个,濒危级的物种有343个,受胁级的物种有459个,关注级的物种有439个,无危级的物种有1,032个。     

生态位模型的基本原理及其在生物多样性保护中的应用

生态位模型是利用物种已知的分布数据和相关环境变量,根据一定的算法来推算物种的生态需求,然后将运算结果投射至不同的空间和时间中来预测物种的实际分布和潜在分布.近年来,该类模型被越来越多地应用在入侵生物学、保护生物学、全球气候变化对物种分布影响以及传染病空间传播的研究中.然而,由于生态位模型的理论基础未被深入理解,导致得出入侵物种生态位迁移等不符合实际的结论.作者从生态位与物种分布的关系、生态位模型构建的基本原理以及生态位模型和生态位的关系等方面探讨了生态位模型的理论基础.非生物的气候因素、物种间的相互作用和物种的迁移能力是影响物种分布的3个主要因素,它们在不同的空间尺度下作用于物种的分布.生态位模型是利用物种分布点所关联的环境变量来模拟物种的分布,这些分布点本身关联着该物种和其他物种间的相互作用,因此生态位模型所模拟的是现实生态位(realized niche)或潜在生态位(potential niche),而不是基础生态位(fundamental niche).Grinnell生态位和Elton生态位均在生态位模型中得到反映,这取决于环境变量类型的选择、所采用环境变量的分辨率以及物种自身的迁移能力.生态位模型在生物多样性保护中的应用主要包括物种的生态需求分析、未知物种或种群的探索和发现、自然保护区的选择和设计、物种入侵风险评价、气候变化对物种分布的影响、近缘物种生态位保守性及基于生态位分化的物种界定等方面.     

Radionuclide accumulation in fruit bodies of macromycetes

Coefficients of 137Cs accumulation and 90Sr were determined in macromycetes of different trophic groups (137Cs in 43 species and 90Sr in 19 species) in the conditions of droughty year (1992). Their variability in forest formations was determined in the period from 1992 to 1998. In the year with increased atmospheric humidity (1998), two-fold rise of 137Cs accumulation in fruit bodies was registered on average. The pollution of Boletus edulis correlates with photosynthetically active part of Betula pendula and Pinus silvestris closer than with soil pollution. This shows the possibility to indicate the pollution of short-living fruit bodies of fungi by the pollution of plants-symbiotrophs.     

The features of radioactive contamination of small birds in Chernobyl zone in 2003-2005

Radioactive contamination of small birds (484 individuals, 44 species) was investigated in the Chernobyl zone (Ukraine) in 2003-2005. Values variation of 90Sr and of 137Cs activity concentration reached 3-4 orders of magnitude even in one site, and maximum values amounted to hundreds Bq/g at the central plots of the zone. The biggest contamination is appropriate to birds in breeding season and to settled species, whilst migrants are the "cleanest". Change of contamination within a year reflects seasonal and short-term changes in birds diet and in behaviour. During breeding season females have higher activity concentration of 90Sr, while on 137Cs accumulation sexual differences are absent. In other seasons radioactive contamination of male and female does not differ if they live in similar conditions and have similar migratory behavior. Young birds during fledging and just after, as a rule, have higher levels of 90Sr contamination than adults, and actually do not differ on 137Cs accumulation. On a set of own and published data, it was assumed, that in small birds the half-life period of 137Cs extraction amounts to 1-2 days, and 90Sr- 5-10 days, and dynamic equilibrium of the radionuclides turnover in organism is reached over 4-7 and 17-34 days, respectively, after the birds arrival on the contaminated site. Among 44 studied species, those who search invertebrates in soil top layer or forest litter (thrushes). have noticeably higher accumulation of 90Sr and of 137Cs. Specific differences of radionuclides accumulation for the rest birds were not revealed due to small sample sizes of the species.     

Assessing the potential of short rotation coppice (SRC) for cleanup of radionuclide-contaminated sites

A small-scale greenhouse investigation was undertaken using Goat willow (Salix caprea) and aspen (Populus tremula) to evaluate the potential of short rotation coppice for remediation of 137Cs- and 90Sr-contaminated sites. Results showed that both species were able to accumulate these radionuclides from a representative disposal soil (aged) and a spiked soil S. caprea accumulating greater levels of 137Cs than P. tremula, with no difference between species for 90Sr accumulation. For each radionuclide, the distribution in both species was similar, with 137Cs accumulation greatest in the roots, whereas 90Sr accumulation was greatest in the leaves. It was also evident that the soil-to-plant transfer factor (Tf) values for 90Sr were greater than for 137Cs, agreeing with differences in the reported bioavailailablity of these radionuclides in soil Based on the Tf values for S. caprea (conservative), estimated remediation times were 92 and 56 yr, for 137Cs and 90Sr, respectively. It is suggested that the selection of Salix species grown in a system of SRC provides a significant opportunity for removal of both 137Cs and 90Sr, primarily due to its higher biomass production. However, for 137Cs phytoremediation investigations into the appropriate use of soil amendments for increasing bioavailability are required.     

The optimization of the soil acidity of agrocenosis contaminated 137Cs and 90Sr: threshold parameters

During the field researches were determined the differences between agrochemical optimum of the acidity of the Sod-podzol loamy sand soil, which provides high productivity of the crops and the pH-value, which provides the minimal accumulation of 137Cs and of 90Sr by the biomass (the ecological optimum). On the average for the majority of the agricultural plants the minimal accumulations of 137Cs and of 90Sr are noticed under pHKCl 6.7, which is higher than agrochemical optimum on 0.7. The efficiency of liming under the discrimination of 137Cs and of 90Sr is much higher in soils with low values of pH. On the average, in crop rotation due to decreasing of the acidity in the soil from 4.9 to 5.9 pHKCl, the crop yield has grown on 9%, 137Cs contents has decreased on 16.7%, 90Sr--on 23.7%. The further decreasing of the soil acidity (from 5.9 to 6.8 pHKCl) was poorly effective: the productivity didn't change essentially. The transfer of 137Cs decreased on 8.9% and of 90Sr on 8.4%.     

Basic features of seasonal and multi-year dynamics of Cs-137 and Sr-90 in wood

Basic features of seasonal and multiyear dynamics of accumulation of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs and 90Sr in wood are considered. Seasonal variation in the radionuclide concentration are shown to be more regular and predictable than the multiyear variation. Seasonal dynamics of 137Cs is opposite by trend to that of 90Sr. The multiyear dynamics of both 137Cs and 90Sr in the wood is variable and depends on chemical nature of individual radionuclide, type of landscape, kinetics of the radionuclide plant-available forms, and irreversible fixation of the radionuclides in the root-abundant soil layer.     

137Cs and 90Sr distribution peculiarities in soil and accumulation by pine tree wood and bark depending on edaphotops

The range of researches was made on 137Cs and 90Sr distribution regularities in pine tree plantations depending on different edaphic conditions. It is shown that total radionuclide amount in the forest litter depends on its thickness and is thought to be 10 to 70% for 137Cs and 20 to 60% for 90Sr. When soil fertility come increases from trophotop "A" to "C", 137Cs and 90Sr transfer factors for wood reduce. Soil humidity increase for each grade of trophic net results in increase of 137Cs transfer factors to wood and decrease for 90Sr. Total activity of 37Cs and 90Sr in pine wood plantation depends on plantation productivity and radionuclide transfer factors depending on different plantation conditions. In the most prevailing edaphotops pine wood accumulates 1-3% of 137Cs and 6-11% of 90Sr from total activity of radionuclides in biogeocenosis.     

利用水生植物清除水体中放射性物质的研究 (Ⅲ)水生植物对Sr90、Y91、Cs137、Ce144的积累、释放及Ca对Sr90吸收的影响

5种水生植物对所用4种放射性同位素都有一定的清除能力,其清除能力的大小不仅取决于生物的种类,而且还取决于生物本身代谢率的高低。试验结果:去污率高的可达80%,积累系数最高可达1,500;水体中含Ca量的多少对生物吸收积累放射性物质的多少有一定的影响;生物在积累放射性物质之后,转移到无放射性物质的水体中将释放出原积累的一部分放射性物质。       

The level of aberrant cells in various tissues of bank vole depending on doses and radionuclide balance in organism

A regression analysis shows the direct linear relation between 137Cs accumulation in rodents and the level of aberrant cells. For 90Sr this trend was negative. The dose relationship was the same with 137Cs. The trends were negative 1 month later after feeding of animals with clean food. Correspondingly the dose relationship was also negative. The levels of cells with apoptosis features were different in animals from the control and the radiocontaminated sites. The analysis has revealed the correlation between the 90Sr content in animal body and the number of alveolar macrophages containing micronuclei. The relationship was revealed between the 137Cs content in the animal body and the number of intestinal epithelial cells with micronuclei.     

The dependence of accumulation of 137Cs and 90Sr radionuclides in the forages cultivation degree of sod-podzolic soils

For prognosis of accumulation of 137Cs and 90Sr in forages harvested in radionuclide contaminated sod-podzolic soils, it is suggested to use transfer factors (TF9a) (Bq/kg)/(kBq/m2)) established not only by the content of mobile potassium (137Cs, r = -0.53) and the value of exchange acidity (90Sr, r = -0.73), but also by the index of agrochemical soil cultivation I(cd) (137Cs, r = -0.69; 90Sr, r = -0.64). The possibility of obtaining forages conforming to the state standards on the haymaking and pasture areas with high density of radioactive contamination of soils was shown by the example of "Sudkovo" collective farm. The approach is based on achievement of a high degree of cultivation (l(cd) - 0.81-1.0) due to a complex of protective measures, which resulted in a 10-fold decrease in the specific activity of 137Cs and a 4-fold decrease in the activity of 90Sr, compared to the soils with a low degree of cultivation (I(cd) - 0.41-0.60).     

Dependences of 137Cs and 90Sr concentration ratios in fish on the potassium and calcium concentrations in the freshwater reservoirs

Activities of 137Cs and 90Sr, concentrations of the potassium and calcium ions in water and accumulation of the radionuclides in the organisms of various freshwater fish have been measured in the stagnant and semistagnant water reservoirs of Ukraine contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident. On the basis of the numerous experimental data for different regions the statistical parameters were derived describing the dependencies of the 137Cs and 90Sr concentration ratios in the muscle tissue of various fish species on the potassium and calcium concentrations in water, respectively.
