Recovery of Bird Species in Minimally Restored Indonesian Tin Strip Mines

Bird species richness and individual abundances were recorded in old, unrestored tin strip mine plots, in mined plots restored 1, 2, and 3 years before the study, and in adjacent, unmined, natural secondary forest plots on the 11,340‐km² Indonesian island of Bangka (2°S, 106°E). The objective was to assess the ecological recovery of unrestored and minimally restored mine plots compared with surrounding reference forest. Unrestored mines had not been mined or used for any other purpose for 14–30 years; plots in their first, second, and third year since restoration were old mines planted with Acacia mangium (Leguminosae) at a density of 400 trees/ha. Natural secondary forest plots 20 or more years since the last disturbance were immediately adjacent to both unrestored and restored plots. Bird surveys on 4‐ha plots were performed during the 1995 breeding season. A comparison of data from unrestored plots of widely varying ages showed no significant differences among them for species richness, diversity (Shannon–Wiener index, H′), or individual abundance, indicating that little natural bird community recovery had occurred over time in the plots. However, increases did occur in restored sites over only 3 years for both species richness (r ² = 0.29, p = 0.04) and diversity (r ² = 0.45, p = 0.009). All values for third‐year restored plots, however, were still significantly lower than corresponding values for adjacent natural secondary forest plots. The quick return of bird activity on the plots after minimal efforts at restoration supports the idea that simple, inexpensive restoration can be effective for “jump starting” degraded systems at large scales. Such a restoration strategy might be of particular value for degraded land in developing nations, where scientific, professional, and financial resources might be in short supply. Using this strategy, a small number of restoration professionals could mobilize the labor of many local people in many areas, serving to both improve ecological systems and to educate and engage local populations in restoration and conservation projects.

Revegetation of Motorway Slopes Using Different Seed Mixtures

Motorway slopes cover large areas and could, if properly managed, partially compensate for the loss of natural habitats and connect remnant populations of target species. One of the main problems on such slopes is soil erosion; therefore, quick and stable revegetation is essential. Two widely used commercial seed mixtures were sown and tested to determine which one is better for restoration of motorway slopes. Both mixtures contained CSR strategists (“competitive stress‐tolerant ruderals”) but one included nurse species (Lolium perenne, L. multiflorum, Trifolium spp.), whereas the other did not. Both treatments were sampled every year over a period of 6 years and analyzed for species richness, diversity, similarity, and plant cover. The research took place in the sub‐Mediterranean part of Slovenia, where low precipitation during summer is characteristic. It was found that the seed mixture with stress‐tolerating species but without nurse species resulted in a smoother succession to a species‐rich grassland with stable cover. Succession was, by contrast, delayed in the mixture with nurse‐plants because they inhibited the establishment of the stress‐tolerating species and target species, respectively.     

Promiscuity of Hosting Nitrogen Fixation in Rice: An Overview from the Legume Perspective

ABSTRACT:?

The subject area of this review provides extraordinary challenges and opportunities. The challenges relate to the fact that the integration of various fields such as microbiology, biochemistry, plant physiology, eukaryotic as well as bacterial genetics, and applied plant sciences are required to assess the disposition of rice, an alien host, for establishing such a unique phenomenon as biological nitrogen fixation. The opportunities signify that, if successful, the breakthrough will have a significant impact on the global economy and will help improve the environment. This review highlights the literature related to the area of legume-rhizobia interactions, particularly those aspects whose understanding is of particular interest in the perspective of rice. This review also discusses the progress achieved so far in this area of rice research and the possibility of built-in nitrogen fixation in rice in the future. However, it is to be borne in mind that such research does not ensure any success at this point. It provides a unique opportunity to broaden our knowledge and understanding about many aspects of plant growth regulation in general.     

塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘豆科与非豆科植物的氮分配

在豆科与非豆科植物光合特性的研究中发现,非豆科植物具有更高的光合速率,与其低的叶氮含量相矛盾。在沙漠中氮素是限制植物生长的关键因子之一,考虑到豆科植物的生物固氮作用和叶氮大部分分配于光合系统,我们假设:(1)非豆科植物具有更低的叶氮含量;(2)分配更少的叶氮于光合系统;(3)具有更高的最大净光合速率(Pmax)和光合氮素利用效率(PNUE)。为了验证这些假设,以塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘的豆科植物骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia)和非豆科植物柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)、花花柴(Karelinia caspica)为研究对象,比较了它们的叶氮含量、氮分配、Pmax和PNUE等。结果表明:(1)非豆科植物比豆科植物确实有更低的叶氮含量,且差异达到显著水平;(2)非豆科植物分配更少的叶氮于光合系统,但在光合系统内部具有更高效的氮分配机制;(3)非豆科植物具有更高的Pmax和PNUE。在光合系统内部,非豆科植物分配更多的叶氮于羧化系统,而豆科植物分配更多的叶氮于捕光系统。对于非豆科植物而言,其更高的Pmax、PNUE、水分利用效率和表观量子产量,取决于将更多的叶氮投入到羧化和电子传递系统中。这些生理优势决定了塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘非豆科植物高效的资源捕捉和利用能力。     

活性氮、活性氧及植物激素在种子休眠解除中的作用及相互关系研究进展

休眠是植物种子对环境变化的适应机制,其机理至今未完全清楚阐明。前期对种子休眠机制的研究主要集中在激素调节上,近期的研究结果表明,一氧化氮（nitric oxide,NO）参与打破种子的休眠,并与其所引起的种子中活性氧的变化有关。本文简要综述活性氮（reactive nitrogen species,RNS）、活性氧（reactive oxygen species,R0s）和植物激素在种子休眠解除中的作用及相互关系研究进展。     

Revegetation of prairie pothole wetlands in the mid-continental US: twelve years post-reflooding

In the mid-1980's, thousands of wetlands in the mid-continental Unites States were restored by interrupting drainage lines; revegetation of these systems, often cropped for decades and positioned in a predominantly agricultural landscape, relied solely on natural recolonization. A study of 64 of these wetlands determined that by 1991, three years after initial reflooding, aquatic species had efficiently recolonized whereas sedge meadow and wet prairie species had not. In 2000, 41 of these restorations that had not been significantly altered or returned to cultivation were revisited and their floras characterized by cover within distinct zones. While species richness increased on every site, the rate of accumulation varied widely. Furthermore, species that had colonized since 1991, including a variety of native wet prairie and sedge meadow species, were detected only at very low abundance. In contrast, Phalaris arundinacea L., an invasive perennial, was now present on every site, often at covers approaching 75–100% in the zones in which it occurred. Other invasive perennials, including Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. and Typha angustifolia L./glauca Godr., had expanded significantly on many sites. The overall dominance of invasive perennials has resulted in basins that are becoming more similar over time. However, present variations in species richness and composition can be attributed to flooding frequency, and, potentially, basin size and isolation from nearby natural wetlands, as shown by TWINSPAN and graphical analysis. Basins that have not been flooded at midsummer for at least seven of 12 years are among the most depauperate in the study. Yet even frequently flooded basins lack diversity if they are small (< 1.5 ha) or isolated from seed sources. Across the study, numerous species common to natural systems were notably absent or infrequently occurring, including Calamagrostis canadensis (Michx.) Beauv., Carex lacustris Willd. and Lysimachia thrysiflora L. Continuous areas of sedge-dominated meadow, a signature of prairie potholes, did not exist at any study site, nor did they appear to be forming. Given the dominance of invasive perennials and absence of many native wetland species, it appears that without significant seeding, planting and aftercare wetland restorations in fragmented landscapes have a low probability of resembling those that existed historically. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Restoring the Vegetation of Mined Peatlands in the Southern Rocky Mountains of Colorado, U.S.A.

South Park is a high‐elevation, semi‐arid, treeless intermountain basin in central Colorado. A few extreme rich fens occur on the western margin and in the center of South Park where regional and local groundwater flow systems discharge to the ground surface. Over the past 40 years there has been extensive peat mining in these fens, but restoration methods have yet to be developed and successfully applied. The first part of this study compared the naturally reestablished vegetation on six mined peatlands with six pristine sites, while the second part of the study tested different revegetation techniques in 27 plots with varying depths to the water table. The six mined sites had only 30 plant species as compared with 122 species in the unmined sites; 43% of the species in the mined sites were not present in the undisturbed fens. Even after 40 years the sedges and willows that dominate the undisturbed sites were largely absent on the mined sites. The revegetation experiments seeded eight species, transplanted Carex aquatilis (water sedge) seedlings, transplanted rhizomes from six species, and transplanted four species of willow cuttings. Of the eight species seeded, only Triglochin maritima (arrowgrass) germinated and established seedlings. C. aquatilis seedlings, rhizome transplants of C. aquatilis, Kobresia simpliciuscula (elk sedge), and Juncus arcticus (arctic rush), and willow cuttings all had differing patterns of survival with respect to the annual maximum height of the water table. These results indicate that the dominant species can be successfully reintroduced to mined surfaces with the appropriate hydrologic conditions, but human intervention will be necessary to rapidly re‐establish these species. The slow rate of peat accumulation means that restoration of the mined fens will require hundreds, if not thousands, of years.     

Role of Organotellurium Species in Tellurium Neuropathy

Exposure of weanling rats to a diet containing 1% elemental tellurium causes segmental demyelination of peripheral nerve, and an inhibition of squalene epoxidase. This inhibition is thought to be the mechanism of action leading to demyelination. Tellurite appears to be the active inhibitory species in a cell-free system but the active species in vivo is unknown. We examined potassium tellurite (K₂TeO₃) and three organotellurium compounds for their ability to inhibit squalene epoxidase in Schwann cell cultures and to induce demyelination in weanling rats. K₂TeO₃ had no effect on squalene epoxidase activity in cultured Schwann cells and caused no demyelination in vivo. All three organotellurium compounds caused inhibition of squalene epoxidase in vitro and caused demyelination in vivo. (CH₃)₂TeCl₂ was the most potent of these compounds and its neuropathy most resembled that caused by elemental tellurium. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that tellurium-induced demyelination is a result of squalene epoxidase inhibition and suggest that a dimethyltelluronium compound may be the neurotoxic species presented to Schwann cells in vivo.
