广西猫儿山植物群落物种组成、群落结构及树种多样性的垂直分布格局

沿海拔梯度设置16个样地,对广西猫儿山植物群落物种多样性的垂直分布格局进行了初步研究。结果表明：(1)16个样地中共调查到乔木44科79属184种,其中常绿阔叶树121种、落叶阔叶树61种、针叶树2种;(2)随着海拔的上升,整个乔木层以及不同生活型的最大树高均呈显著下降趋势,而乔木树种的最大胸径、胸高断面积之和以及立木密度都呈现出先增大后减小的趋势;(3)物种丰富度在海拔1350m以下变化不明显,但1350m以上随着海拔的升高明显下降。在研究的海拔范围内,物种丰富度呈非常显著的单峰分布格局,最大的丰富度出现在中海拔群落中;(4)α多样性沿海拔梯度的变化趋势与物种丰富度相似,但没有后者显著。Shannon-Wiener指数(H’)和海拔之间有明显的负相关性,均匀度Pielou指数(E)在取样范围内并没有随着海拔梯度的变化表现出明显的规律;(5)1350m以下的相邻群落之间的Jaccard指数(CJ)大于1350m以上相邻群落之间的Jaccard指数,最小值出现在中海拔的植被过渡带。Cody指数也有类似的趋势,原因在于物种丰富度的变化;(6)在本研究的海拔范围内,海拔比坡度和坡向对群落的结构特征、物种丰富度以及α多样性的影响更大。而在局部尺度上,人为干扰以及小地形而导致的生境异质性对群落的物种多样性和结构特征有着重要的影响。     

福建黄岗山东南坡和西北坡乔木物种多样性及群落特征的垂直变化

利用福建黄岗山东南坡30个样方和西北坡13个样方的资料,研究该地区乔木物种丰富度的垂直变化;东南坡共记录到乔木物种151种,隶属于42科73属;西北坡102种,隶属于32科54属。两坡面的乔木树种组成相差不大。物种丰富度随海拔的变化趋势是：随海拔升高,科、属、种的数量呈下降的趋势;东南坡科、属、种的数量在海拔800—1000m达到最大值,西北坡在海拔1500—1600m达到最大值。东南坡乔木物种Shannon—Wiener指数(H’)与海拔呈负相关;西北坡在海拔1200—1800m范围内H’高于东南坡;Screnson指数(IAc)在不同植被类型交替时出现上下波动,从常绿阔叶林向针阔混交林转化时,物种更替强烈,Screnson指数明显下降。乔木物种生长特征的分析表明,最大树高(Hmax)和最大胸径(DBHmax)出现在中海拔,在相同海拔范围内西北坡的Hmax和DBHmax高于东南坡;东南坡Hmax和DBHmax的峰值出现在海拔800—900m,西北坡出现在海拔1800m。东南坡立木密度在海拔1500m处达最高值,而西北坡立木密度变化不明显,仅在海拔1900m以上明显下降。将全部乔木种划分为常绿阔叶、针叶和落叶阔叶等三种生活型,分析不同生活型的生长特征发现,常绿阔叶种类的胸高断面积和(total basal area,TBA)在低海拔占比例大;针叶种类沿海拔出现两个峰值,与分布两种不同针叶林种类有关;落叶阔叶林的TBA在各海拔段均占一定比例,但在西北坡的比例要高于东南坡。两坡三种生活型的TBA沿海拔梯度变化特征基本上相似。     

广东黑石顶自然保护区森林次生演替过程中的群落动态

对黑石顶自然保护区森林次生演替过程中的群落结构、物种组成及物种多样性变化的研究结果表明：在皆伐裸地恢复阶段最初的２～４ 年,先锋种、阳生性种及中生性种的幼苗同时大量出现于次生裸地上;演替至１０ 年时,群落中先锋种的数量占绝对优势,阳生性种保持稳定,中生性种趋于减少;针阔叶混交林阶段,先锋种趋于减少,阳生性种趋于增加;阳生性常绿阔叶林阶段,先锋种基本衰退,而阳生性种占绝对优势,同时中生性种趋于增加;演替至中生性常绿阔叶林阶段,阳生性种逐渐消退,中生性种的数量占优势。皆伐裸地恢复阶段为群落垂直结构的形成期,仅有Ⅲ级以下立木,乔木层无明显分层,群落的个体密度无明显变化;由恢复阶段进入针阔叶混交林初期为群落垂直结构分化期,群落中出现大量Ⅲ、Ⅳ级立木,乔木层可分为３ 个亚层,但群落的个体密度因自疏作用而显著下降;针阔叶混交林阶段为群落垂直结构的相对稳定期,Ⅴ级立木多度和胸高断面积呈演替系列的第一个高峰,同时群落的个体密度显著增大;阳生性常绿阔叶林阶段为群落垂直结构的变动期,群落中Ⅴ级立木多度和胸高断面积大幅度下降,个体密度无明显变化;中生性常绿阔叶林阶段为群落垂直结构的稳定期,群落中各立木级趋于更加完善,胸高断面积达到演     

福建梅花山常绿阔叶林植物物种多样性及其海拔梯度格局

常绿阔叶林是福建梅花山国家级自然保护区地带性植被。采用样带与典型群落调查法对区内的常绿阔叶林14400m2样地展开调查,并对植物多样性海拔梯度格局进行分析,结果表明：（1） 群落植物物种丰富度、Gleason丰富度指数、Simpson指数、Shannon Wiener指数和Pielou均匀度指数的均值分别为64.42、10.75、5.75、3.50、0.58,且这5种指数在各样带间差异极为显著,并随海拔的升高均呈单峰曲线变化,峰值出现在海拔700m~900m。（2） 群落各层次的植物物种丰富度、Shannon Wiener指数均呈现灌木层（包括幼树和层间植物）〉乔木层〉草本层的特征。乔木、灌木层物种丰富度与乔木层Shannon Wiener指数在海拔梯度上的样带间差异极显著,变化趋势与群落相似;灌木层与草本层Shannon Wiener指数以及草本层物种丰富度随海拔梯度变化不明显。因此,梅花山自然保护区常绿阔叶林植物物种多样性的海拔梯度格局呈现单峰分布,并支持中间高度膨胀模式（mid domain model）。     

猫儿山不同海拔植物群落树木构型差异及其影响因子

通过对猫儿山海拔梯度上常绿阔叶林(低海拔,1100 m)、常绿落叶阔叶混交林(中海拔,1500 m)和常绿针阔叶混交林(高海拔,1900 m)3种典型植物群落中乔木层植物构型性状以及环境因子的测定,分析乔木层植物构型性状在3个群落间的变异规律及其影响因素.结果表明:随海拔升高,乔木层树冠面积、45 cm基径、胸径和叶片聚集度持续增加,树高、枝下高和树冠厚度先增加后减小;枝条伸展方向表现为在低海拔群落中水平枝条比例最大,高海拔群落次之,中海拔群落最小;中海拔群落中乔木层植物构型性状之间的相关性更强.冗余分析表明,土壤有机质和总辐射是乔木层植物构型性状变异的主要环境影响因素,它们分别解释了构型性状39.6%和23.9%的变异.土壤有机质对树冠面积和枝下高影响较大,总辐射对胸径和45 cm基径影响较大,且都呈正相关.猫儿山乔木层植物在不同海拔群落间存在构型分异,影响乔木层植物构型变化的主要环境驱动力是土壤有机质和总辐射.     

云南中部无量山黑长臂猿(Nomascus concolor jingdongensis)栖息地乔木层物种多样性和结构特征

无量山是黑长臂猿景东亚种的唯一分布区,现栖息着98群500余只黑长臂猿。长臂猿是典型的树栖性灵长类动物,通过对无量山西坡大寨子地区250个样方的调查,分析了随海拔梯度升高,黑长臂猿栖息地植被乔木层物种多样性和结构的变化情况。共记录乔木111种,隶属于33科;木质藤本23种,隶属于18科。其中优势科主要有樟科(Lauraceae)、木兰科(Magnoliaceae)、壳斗科(Fagaceae)、山茶科(Theaceae)和杜鹃花科(Ericaceae)。根据不同海拔乔木层物种组成的差异,该区可划分为半湿润常绿阔叶林(2100~2300m)和中山湿性常绿阔叶林(2400~2600m)两种植被类型。多样性指数(Shannon-Wiener指数)随海拔升高在两种植被类型中均呈下降趋势;均匀度指数(Pielou指数)在半湿润常绿阔叶林中呈下降趋势,在中山湿性常绿阔叶林中无明显变化。半湿润常绿阔叶林中,阳坡的乔木物种多样性低于阴坡;而阳坡物种多样性在两种植被类型间差异显著。随着海拔的升高,乔木层的平均高度和上层乔木(Ⅰ层)的比例均逐渐降低,但下层乔木却呈上升趋势。6种优势乔木树种的种群年龄结构分析表明,该区植被的乔木层呈现稳定增长的趋势。     

浙江杭州午潮山亚热带常绿阔叶林群落结构和物种组成

运用数量化的方法对植物群落进行分类和排序,可以客观地揭示植物群落和环境之间的相互关系,为植被恢复和森林经营管理提供理论依据。以浙江杭州午潮山45个20 m×20 m的森林动态监测样地为研究对象,运用聚类和排序等数量化方法,分析亚热带常绿阔叶林的群落类型、生物多样性特征及群落与环境的关系。结果表明: 午潮山亚热带常绿阔叶林样地可划分为3个群落类型: 木荷群落、白栎-薄叶山矾群落和青冈群落。3个群落类型中,树木个体密度和胸高断面积均无显著差异,而物种丰富度差异显著。青冈群落的物种丰富度显著高于木荷群落,但与白栎-薄叶山矾群落无显著差异。冗余分析(RDA)排序表明,群落分布与环境因子有明显的相关性。土壤和地形等解释了群落分布46.4%的变异,土壤全磷、有效磷、速效钾含量,以及海拔、坡度、坡向和透光度对群落的分布有显著影响,而土壤全磷、速效钾含量和海拔可能是影响午潮山亚热带常绿阔叶林群落分布最重要的环境因素。53.6%未能解释的部分可能归因于人为干扰。     

甘肃小陇山锐齿栎群落生物多样性特征分析

生物多样性是当前群落生态学研究的一个重要方面。为此,选择了地处我国南北交界的秦岭西段北坡——甘肃小陇山的锐齿栎群落作为研究对象,经过大量野外实地调查和室内数据分析,认为：(1)研究区锐齿栎群落乔木层物种多样性测度结果为：平均物种多样性指数H=1．483,平均均匀度指数Jsw=0．67,平均丰富度指数R=9。这与亚热带常绿阔叶林和暖温带阔叶落叶林相比较,具有明显的过渡性特征;(2)乔木层物种多样性沿海拔梯度在阴、阳坡存在两种不同的分布模式。在阳坡,物种多样性沿海拔梯度呈直线上升分布模式;在阴坡,物种多样性对海拔梯度呈不很敏感的分布模式,对阴、阳坡进行对比,阴坡多样性、均匀度和丰富度均大于阳坡,优势度相反;(3)经过采伐干扰,恢复20年后,与保护区相比,乔木层物种丰富度有所增大,多样性和优势度有所降低,均匀度没有产生明显变化。     

古田山24 ha森林动态监测样地常绿阔叶林群落结构和组成动态: 探讨2008年冰雪灾害的影响

常绿阔叶林是我国亚热带地区的地带性植被, 其中最为典型而且分布最广泛的是中亚热带常绿阔叶林。为探讨2008年初我国南方发生的冰雪灾害对中亚热带常绿阔叶林的影响, 以浙江省古田山国家级自然保护区24 ha森林动态监测样地内的中亚热带常绿阔叶林为例, 研究了该森林在冰雪灾害前后(2005-2010年)的群落结构及物种组成动态。结果表明, 群落径级结构变化较小, 但群落整体补员不足且死亡率较高; 多个粒度上的群落动态显示出一致的衰退特征, 但不同生境间的群落动态存在差异; 物种多度和胸高截面积多呈减小趋势, 但频度和重要值变化不明显。同时, 物种的多度、胸高截面积、频度和重要值等次序均无明显变化。这说明2008年发生的冰雪灾害对古田山中亚热带常绿阔叶林群落的短期动态产生了较大的负面影响, 且其影响程度与植物胸径和地形等因素密切相关; 同时也反映了古田山中亚热带常绿阔叶林群落结构对冰雪灾害干扰具有一定的抵抗力。     

不同干扰强度下江西武夷山河岸带阔叶林群落的结构与数量特征

为揭示中亚热带典型河岸带阔叶林群落的结构特征、数量特征和干扰强度的耦合关系,根据干扰强度的不同,在江西武夷山保护区内选取3条主要水系进行阔叶林群落调查,共统计到河岸带维管束植物93科174属304种,分别占保护区维管束植物总数的41.5%、18.0%、11.9%。物种组成以壳斗科（6属22种）、山茶科（7属22种）、樟科（6属16种）、蔷薇科（8属16种）为主。不同干扰强度下的河岸带植被群落相似性Jaccard系数均在0.2-0.3之间,各群落优势种完全不同,且存在特有分布的物种,但群落乔木层优势种优势度（重要值）差异不显著（P〉0.05）。不同干扰强度下,物种数量、群落Jaccard系数、丰富度指数、多样性指数、均匀度指数总体上为：轻微干扰〉中等干扰〉无干扰;而乔木的平均高度和平均胸径却为：无干扰〉中等干扰〉轻微干扰。研究结果表明,江西武夷山河岸带阔叶林以常绿阔叶树种为主,但不同干扰梯度下群落的结构和数量特征差异性较大。

New amino-dithiaphospholanes and phosphoramidodithioites and their rhodium and iridium complexes

New sulfur derivatives of phosphoramidite ligands were synthesized and the impact of the sulfur unit on the spectroscopic properties of their rhodium and iridium complexes was investigated. The new ligands Bn₂NPSCH₂CH₂S^a(P-S^a) (Bn = benzyl, 4), Bn₂NPSCHCHS^a(CH₂)₃C^aH₂(P-S^a)(C^a-S^a) (6) and Bn₂NP(4-XC₆H₄OMe)₂ (X = S, 7a; X = O, 7b) were converted to the rhodium and iridium complexes trans-[Rh(CO)Cl(L)₂] (L = 4, 6, 7), [RhCl(COD)(L)] (L = 4, 6, 7), [IrCl(COD)(7a)] and [IrCl₂Cp∗(6)]. For comparison, some phosphoramidite complexes of these formulations also were synthesized. The new metal complexes were spectroscopically analyzed. For the carbonyl complexes, the ν_CO IR stretching frequencies were lower than for the corresponding phosphite and phosphoramidite ligands. The ¹J_PRh coupling constants for the rhodium complexes with the new ligands were also smaller than for the respective phosphoramidite and phosphite complexes. Finally, the ¹J_PSe coupling constants of the selenides of the new ligands were lower than those of the phosphoramidite ligands but higher than for PPh₃. The spectroscopic data reveal that the new thio ligands 4, 6 and 7a are more electron donating than phosphites and phosphoramidites but less electron donating than PPh₃.     

Astrocytes and Synaptosomes Transport and Metabolize Lactate and Acetate Differently

Astrocytes transport the monocarboxylate acetate, but synaptosomes do not. The reason for this is unknown, because both preparations express monocarboxylate transporters (MCT). The transport and metabolism of lactate, another monocarboxylate, was examined in these two preparations, and the results were compared to those for acetate. Lactate transport is more rapid in astrocytes than in synaptosomes, but of lower affinity (Kms of 17 and 4 mM, respectively). Lactate (0.2 mM) is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in synaptosomes than in astrocytes (rates of 0.37 and 0.07 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). The reason for this is unclear, but cellular differences in lactate dehydrogenase isotype expression may be involved. Acetate is metabolized to CO2 more rapidly in astrocytes than in synaptosomes (rates of 0.43 and 0.02 nmol x mg protein(-1) x min(-1), respectively). This is likely due to cellular differences in the expression of monocarboxylate transporter subtypes.

Relative and combined effects of ethanol and protein deficiency on strontium and barium bone content and fecal and urinary excretion

To elucidate accumulation of minerals in human iliac arteries with aging, the content of minerals was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Bilateral common, internal, and external iliac arteries of 16 men and 8 women, ranging ages from 65 to 93 yr, were examined. It was found that an extremely high accumulation of calcium and phosphorus occurred in the common iliac artery at old age, being higher than that of the internal and external iliac arteries. It should be noted that the accumulation of calcium and phosphorus is the highest in the common iliac artery among the human arteries examined to date. Regarding sexual differences, the content of calcium and phosphorus in the common and internal iliac arteries was higher in women than in men, whereas their content in the external iliac artery was lower in women than in men.

Cytoskeleton and mitochondrial morphology and function

It has been well established that the cytoskeleton is an essential modulator of cell morphology and motility, intracytoplasmic transport and mitosis, however cytoskeletal linkage to the organelles has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Indeed, cytoskeleton appears to be essential in determining and modulating gene phenotype as a function of cellular environment. According to recent studies, the organization of the cytoskeleton network together with associated protein(s) could be essential in regulating mitochondrial function and particularly the permeability of the mitochondrial outer membrane to ADP. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the main properties of the cytoskeletal environment of mitochondria and the possible role(s) of this network in mitochondrial function in myocytes.     

Vascular volumes and hematology in male and female runners and cyclists

To examine the hypothesis that foot-strike hemolysis alters vascular volumes and selected hematological properties is trained athletes, we have measured total blood volume (TBV), red cell volume (RCV) and plasma volume (PV) in cyclists (n = 21) and runners (n = 17) and compared them to those of untrained controls (n = 20). TBV (ml x kg(-1)) was calculated as the sum of RCV (ml x kg(-1)) and PV (ml x kg(-1)) obtained using 51Cr and 125I-labelled albumin, respectively. Hematological assessment was carried out using a Coulter counter. Peak aerobic power (VO2peak) was measured during progressive exercise to fatigue using both cycle and treadmill ergometry. RCV was 15% higher (P < 0.05) in male cyclists [35.4 (1.0), mean (SE); n = 12] and runners [35.3 (0.98); n = 9] compared to the controls [30.7 (0.92); n = 12]. Similar differences existed between the female cyclists [28.2 (2.1); n = 9] and runners [28.4 (1.0); n = 8] compared to the untrained controls [24.9 (1.4); n = 8]. For the male athletes, PV was between 19% (cyclists) and 28% (runners) higher (P < 0.05) in the trained athletes compared to the untrained controls. The differences in PV between the female groups were not significant. Although the males had a higher (P < 0.05) TBV, RCV and PV than the females, no differences between cyclists and runners were found for either gender. Mean cell volume was not different between the athletic groups. VO2peak (ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was higher (P < 0.05) in both male [68.4 (1.5)] and female [54.8 (2.1)] runners when compared to the untrained males [47.1 (1.0)] and females [40.5 (2.1)]. Although differences existed between the genders in VO2peak for both cyclists and runners, no differences were found between the athletic groups within a gender. Since the vascular volumes were not different between cyclists and runners for either the males or females, foot-strike hemolysis would not appear to have an effect on that parameter. The significant correlations (P < 0.05) found between VO2peak and RCV (r = 0.64 and 0.64) and TBV (r = 0.82 and 0.63) for the males and females, respectively, suggests a role for the vascular system in realizing a high aerobic power.     

Microbial and bioconversion production of D-xylitol and its detection and application

D-Xylitol is found in low content as a natural constituent of many fruits and vegetables. It is a five-carbon sugar polyol and has been used as a food additive and sweetening agent to replace sucrose, especially for non-insulin dependent diabetics. It has multiple beneficial health effects, such as the prevention of dental caries, and acute otitis media. In industry, it has been produced by chemical reduction of D-xylose mainly from photosynthetic biomass hydrolysates. As an alternative method of chemical reduction, biosynthesis of D-xylitol has been focused on the metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida strains. In order to detect D-xylitol in the production processes, several detection methods have been established, such as gas chromatography (GC)-based methods, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based methods, LC-MS methods, and capillary electrophoresis methods (CE). The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are compared in this review.
