青藏高原高寒草甸生态系统净二氧化碳交换量特征

高寒草甸是青藏高原广泛分布的植被类型之一,面积约120万km2,地处青藏高原腹地的当雄草原站即位于该类植被的典型分布区。以2003年8~10月中旬在该站用涡度相关法连续观测的CO2通量数据资料为基础,分析了高寒草甸生态系统8~10月份净二氧化碳交换量(NEE)的日变化规律,及其与光合有效辐射、降水、温度等环境因子之间的关系。结果表明,8~10月份的日均NEE有明显的日变化,表现为单峰型,通常在地方时11:00~12:00左右达到碳吸收的最大值,平均为-0.2680mgCO2/(m2·s)(-6.0800μmolCO2/(m2·s))。白天的NEE与光合有效辐射之间符合很好的直角双曲线关系,表观量子产额平均为0.0203μmolCO2/μmolPAR,表观最大光合速率平均为9.7411μmolCO2/(m2·s)。夜晚的NEE与5cm地温有很好的指数函数关系。     

梨树叶片蒸腾特性研究

采用CIRAS-1红外气体分析仪研究梨树不同时期蒸腾速率及水分利用效率变化特征。结果表明:梨树蒸腾速率日变化为单峰型,峰值出现在11:00～P15:00;蒸腾速率的季节变化呈"V"字形,其中5～P8月份逐渐降低,8～P9月份迅速升至最高,生长季平均蒸腾速率为2.66mmol.m-2.s-1;决定蒸腾速率日变化的主要因子为空气温度、叶面温度和水汽压差,且各因子对蒸腾速率日变化的贡献率分别为85%～P96%、76%～P86%和98%。水分利用效率日变化峰值出现在早上7:00～P9:00,然后逐渐降低;水分利用效率的季节变化峰值(5.38μmolCO2/mmolH2O)出现在8月份,5、6、7、9月份的水分利用效率相当,其值在2.86～P3.05μmolCO2/mmolH2O之间,生长季平均为3.44μmolCO2/mmolH2O;相关分析结果表明,水分利用效率受光合有效辐射、空气温度、叶片温度、空气湿度、以及叶片-大气水气压差等各因子的综合作用。     

灌溉植被梭梭、白刺光合蒸腾特性及影响因素研究

通过灌溉植被梭梭、白刺光合生理特性测定结果显示:梭梭、白刺光合、蒸腾日变化均呈单峰曲线,上午主要进行光合作用,10:00达到峰值,下午蒸腾作用较强,14:00～16∶00达到高峰期;灌溉植被光合速率随灌水量的增加而增大,灌溉梭梭平均光合速率相对免灌对照增加量为1.8～4.2μmolCO2·m-2·s-1,灌溉白刺相对增加量为1.5～2.3μmolCO2·m-2·s-1,梭梭光合增加量较高;灌溉梭梭蒸腾速率高于对照,增量为2.4～6.8mmolH2O·m-2·s-1,灌溉白刺蒸腾速率低于对照,减量为6.2～12.0mmolH2O·m-2·s-1;相关分析表明:光量子密度、胞间CO2浓度是影响梭梭、白刺光合作用的主要因子,大气温度、水汽压是影响其蒸腾作用的因子,叶片温度对灌溉植被梭梭、白刺的光合和蒸腾速率变化反应特别敏感,是影响其生理进程的重要因素之一.     

毛乌素沙地若干植物光合作用,蒸腾作用和水分利用效率种间及生境间差异

报道了内蒙古毛乌素沙地不同生境下66种不同科属植物的光合作用、蒸腾作用和水分利用效率特征。这几种生境包括流动沙丘、固定沙丘、滩地和湿地,所分布的植物与表现的生理生态特征不同。研究结果表明:藜科、禾本科、豆科等具有C4光合碳同化途径或具固氮能力的植物具有较高的光合能力,其净光合速率20～30μmolCO2·m-2·s-1;而松柏科的常绿植物具最低的光合速率,0～5μmolCO2·m-2·s-1。菊科、玄参科、禾本科等具C3途径和无固氮能力的植物蒸腾作用最高,为20～30mmolH2O·m-2·s-1;松柏科、杨柳科和菊科的个别植物蒸腾速率很低,为0～5mmolH2O·m-2·s-1。豆科、禾本科和藜科中具C4光合途径或固氮能力的一些植物(灌木或草本植物)具有较高的水分利用效率。然而,植物的这些生理生态指标随不同季节和生境表现出不同的特点,在晚夏季所测的净光合速率、蒸腾速率分别比初夏季高26%和40%,而水分利用效率下降12%。从总体趋势来看,随着生境沿着由湿到干的不同水分供应等级,如从湿地、滩地、固定沙丘至流动沙丘,光合作用和蒸腾作用呈现减弱的趋势,而水分利用效率则呈现升高的趋势     

湖南会同林区毛竹林地的土壤呼吸

采用CID-301PS光合分析仪(配带土壤呼吸室),对湖南会同林区毛竹林地土壤呼吸进行测定,结果表明,毛竹林地土壤总呼吸速率、异养呼吸速率、自养呼吸速率及凋落物呼吸速率的年平均值分别为2.13、1.44、0.69μmolCO2·m-2·s-1和0.31μmolCO2·m-2·s-1,并呈现明显的季节变化规律和日变化规律,季节变化曲线呈单峰型,表现为1～7月份随着气温、地温的升高呈上升的趋势,在8月达年呼吸速率的最大值,分别达4.95、3.01、1.94μmolCO2·m-2·s-1和0.80 μmolCO2·m-2·s-1,此后随温度的降低而呈逐渐递减的趋势,直到翌年的1月份或2月份,分别为0.76、0.70、 0.06μmolCO2·m-2·s-1 和 0.05μmolCO2·m-2·s-1.日变化曲线图表现为单峰形态,一般也是随着温度的升高而加大,随着温度的降低而减小.6:00～14:00,随着土壤温度的升高而增加,一般在16:00～18:00出现最高峰,此后,一直递减,直到次日4:00～8:00.由此计算出毛竹林地土壤年释放CO2量为33.94 t·hm-2·a-1,其中,林地异养呼吸、自养呼吸和凋落物呼吸分别占总呼吸的59.5%、28.3%和12.2%.     

不同坡位沙棘光合日变化及其主要环境因子

沙棘是我国干旱半干旱地区重要的生态经济树种,被广泛应用于黄土高原造林活动中。为探明不同坡位沙棘光合特征及影响沙棘光合作用的主要环境因子,在沙棘生长旺盛期分坡位测定光合特性及环境因子日变化进程,并采用通径分析法分析各环境因子对沙棘净光合速率的直接和间接影响。结果表明：1、各环境因子之间存在相互作用,光合有效辐射是空气温度变化的主要驱动因子,而空气温度变化引起的空气密度变化对空气相对湿度和CO2浓度有显著影响。在上、中和下坡位环境变化可以分别解释85.6%、86.0%和 55.22%净光合速率的变异。2、下坡位沙棘净光合速率最小,日均值为9.38μmol/m2/s,上、中坡位分别为14.22μmol/m2/s,15.94μmol/m2/s。3、10:00之前中上坡位沙棘水分利用效率明显高于下坡位,但3坡位沙棘水分利用效率日均值无明显差异。4、上坡位净光合速率主要受到光合有效辐射、空气相对湿度的影响;中坡位光合有效辐射仍为主要环境因子,此外空气温度和空气湿度之间的相互作用对净光合速率也有一定影响,为主要限制因子;下坡位影响沙棘光合速率主导因素为光合有效辐射。5、沙棘在10:00之前光合有效辐射和空气湿度较高而空气温度较低的环境下,净光合速率和水分利用效率最高。作为阳生物种,沙棘需要足够的光照维持生长,而以往研究表明适度水分胁迫可以提高沙棘光合过程中对水的利用效率。本研究所选流域年降水量535mm,中上坡位水分胁迫并非十分严重。因此,种植于中上坡位的沙棘即可接受足够光照（特别是10:00以前的光照）进行光合保证生长速率,又能在光合过程中保持较高水分利用效率,符合干旱半干旱地区生态经济发展的需求。     

西藏高原濒危植物西藏巨柏光合作用日进程

研究采用目前先进的光合作用测定系统L i-Cor-6400测定濒危物种西藏巨柏的光合作用,自然环境条件下的西藏巨柏光合日进程表现为单峰型曲线,在12:00时左右达到最高峰,其光合作用不存在“午休现象”。在12:00时,西藏巨柏的气孔限制值和水分饱和亏缺分别达到最大值,此时的水分利用效率较高,在9:00时,西藏巨柏获得一天中最大的表观量子效率,水分利用效率达到最大值。其蒸腾速率在13:00时最大,这个时间并不与光合速率最大值同步,这说明在西藏特殊的气候环境条件下,影响光合速率的因素很多。在光合速率的日进程中,高光合速率值(大于4.00μm o lCO2/(m2.s))持续时间在5h左右,这使得西藏巨柏的光合作用产物得以有效积累,也为西藏巨柏在半干旱环境中的生长创造了有利条件。     

人工湿地污水处理系统3种红树植物生理生态特性

研究了淡水条件下潜流型人工湿地污水处理系统中红树植物海桑、桐花树和木榄的生理生态特性。一年后,海桑、桐花树和木榄株高增长量分别为134、32cm和21cm,基径增长量分别为18.2、14.3mm和12.9mm,生物量增长量分别为747、113g/株和55g/株,表明海桑生长最快,桐花树次之,木榄最慢。从2004年1月至12月,海桑、桐花树和木榄各项生理指标的平均值分别为:叶片总叶绿素含量1.91、1.26、0.91mg/gFW,叶绿素a含量1.44、0.93、0.64mg/gFW,叶绿素b含量0.5、0.34、0.17mg/gFW,净光合速率9.67、6.39、3.57μmolCO2/(m2·s),蒸腾速率54、38、24mmolH2O/(m2·s),气孔导度285、222、110mmolH2O/(m2·s),电解质渗出率10.2、12.9、13.5%和SOD活性447、396、386U/gFW。结果表明光合作用和水分代谢海桑>桐花树>木榄,植物受伤害程度海桑<桐花树≈木榄。另外,3种红树植物全年的生理生态特征的变化规律基本相似,4～10月份生长较快,大部分生理指标维持高水平,1～3月份和11～12月份由于温度较低,生长比较慢,大部分生理指标处于较低水平。综合比较一年来人工湿地中3种红树植物的各项生理生态特征,结果显示海桑好于桐花树,桐花树好于木榄。

The influence of temperature on the flocculation rate of renneted casein micelles

The flocculation rate constant of completely renneted casein micelles in milk ultrafiltrate was measured by Rayleigh light scattering between 20 and 35 degrees C. In this temperature range an apparent energy of activation of 103 kJ mol (+/-11 kJ mol : n = 50) was measured. At 15 degrees C clotting was not longer perceptible. The activation of the flocculation between 20 and 35 degrees C is explained not so much by the height of the energy barrier separating the clotting micelles, as by the very negative temperature coefficient of that barrier. In line with this conclusion it is suggested that renneted micelles adhere through hydrophobic bonding. The flocculation rate constant of renneted casein micelles is independent of micelle size at the four temperature levels studied.     

Effect of nutrient loading and retention time on performance of high rate algal ponds

Small pilot ponds in a glasshouse at the Scottish Agricultural College (Auchincruive) were used to investigate the effects of changing C:N:P loading rate and retention time on pond performance as measured by nutrient removal and dry matter biomass. One experiment investigated ponds operated at two C:N:P ratios: low (9:7:1) and high (104:10:1) and two retention times (4 and 7 days θ. Increasing retention time from 4 to 7 days increased the concentration of total (dry matter) and algal (chlorophyll a) biomass and the degree of nitrification. It also increased removal of phosphorus, but had no effect on nitrogen or COD removal. Cyanobacteria predominated in ponds operated at both 4 and 7 days, and the density of cyanobacteria increased with increased retention time. Nitrogen removal was independent of C:N:P ratio; indeed the lower C:N:P ratio favoured increased nitrification. A high C:N:P ratio increased phosphorus and COD removal and increased the concentration of algal biomass (chlorophyll a), but had little effect on total biomass (dry matter). A second experiment varied COD loading rate (600, 350 and 100 kg COD ha-¹ d-¹) while maintaining a constant retention time (either 5 or 7 days θ). Species composition was independent of retention time. The longer retention time increased both total and algal biomass concentration and also percentage of nitrogen removed. Nitrification was independent of retention time. Increasing loading rate increased dry matter production and resulted in a predominance of cyanobacteria over Chlorophyceae. Increased loading rate was related to increase in nitrogen removal, however more complete nitrification occurred at low COD loading rates. Phosphorus removal in the pond with 5-day (θ) remained constant independent of loading rate, but in the pond with 7-day θ phosphorus removal increased with increased COD loading. COD removal was independent of both retention time and loading rate. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Viscosity scaling and protein dynamics

The rates of molecular motions in the interior of some proteins were found to scale with an inverse power of the external solvent viscosity. The data were explained by a flexible protein structure whose dynamics is partially controlled by the solvent. Reaction dynamics in the presence of structural fluctuations with finite lifetimes lead to a dynamic friction coefficient defined by a generalized Langevin equation and a fluctuation-dissipation theorem. A model for the dynamic friction is derived assuming that the fluctuation spectrum at the reaction site involves two components: solvent-independent diffusion of local structural defects in the protein matrix and global fluctuations coupled to the solvent. The theory is applied to the viscosity dependence of molecular oxygen-binding rates in sperm whale myoglobin.     

Dimensionless analysis of the microbial growth rate dependence on sub-optimal temperatures

The influence of sub-optimal temperatures (T) on the microbial growth rate (μ) has been assessed by means of dimensionless variables: T_dim = [T−T_min]/[T_opt−T_min] and μ_dim = μ/μ_opt. T_min represents the temperature at which there is no growth, T_opt the optimum temperature at which the growth rate, μ_opt, is maximum. Data sets, growth rate vs temperature, have been taken from the literature for 12 organisms (psychrotrophs, mesophiles and thermophiles). In order to compare these organisms, the power law function has been used: [μ_dim] = [T_dim]^α. The parameters μ_opt and T_opt are determined from direct readings whereas T_min and αare estimated by means of a non-linear regression. An accurate estimation of T_min is obtained providing low growth rate data are available. A wide range of optimal temperatures where the growth rate almost equals μ_opt prevents one from obtaining a narrow confidence interval forα. On the basis of the analysis hereafter developed, thermophiles are characterized by values of the power α less than mesophiles and psychrotrophs. Almost all of these values are significantly different from two, previously determined for Staphylococcus xylosus and widely used for predicting the microbial growth in foods.

摄食对南方鲇耗氧和氨氮排泄的影响

采用流水式呼吸仪,在水温27.0±0.5℃条件下同时测定了南方鲇(Silurus meridionalisChen)摄食前后的耗氧率和排氨率。实验结果表明:摄食前标准耗氧率和标准排氨率分别为116.4±6.4mgO2/kg/h和6.9±1.4mgNH4 /kg/h。摄食后耗氧率和排氨率均呈现迅速上升,到达最大值后再缓慢下降,然后恢复到静止水平的变化趋势:最大值分别为358.8±11.4mgO2/kg/h和76.1±2.5mgNH4 /kg/h;最大值出现时间分别为10.8±1.4h和10.1±0.9h;摄食后耗氧率和排氨率发生改变的持续时间分别为36.0±2.3h和37.2±2.8h;耗氧总增量和排氨总增量分别为88.3±2.7mgO2和23.1±1.7mgNH4 。实验结果显示,鱼类排氨率在摄食后的变化过程与其耗氧率的特殊动力作用(SDA)具有类似的特征,表明二者在能量代谢机制上相互关联;南方鲇的SDA总耗能的79.4%由蛋白质分解代谢所提供。     

THE RATE OF TRANSLOCATION IN ALARIA ESCULENTA (LAMINARIALES,PHAEOPHYCEAE)12

The rate of translocation of organic carbon in blades of Alaria esculenta (L.) Grev. (Laminariales) was calculated from blade growth data. The cross sectional area of sieve filaments in the midrib medulla was estimated from light microscopic examination of fresh material. Files of these filaments form a perimedullar ring occupying ca. 2/3 of the medulla. Values computed for specific mass transfer of carbon into the blade meristem ranged from 36.2 to 60.8 mg C.wk^?1.0.1 mm^?2 sieve filaments.     

The effect of turbulent flow and surface roughness on biofilm formation in drinking water

There is considerable interest in both Europe and the USA in the effects of microbiological fouling on stainless steels in potable water. However, little is known about the formation and effects of biofilms, on stainless steel in potable water environments, particularly in turbulent flow regimes. Results are presented on the development of biofilms on stainless steel grades 304 and 316 after exposure to potable water at velocities of 0.32, 0.96 and 1.75 m s⁻¹. Cell counts on slides of stainless steel grades 304 and 316 with both 2B (smooth) and 2D (rough) finishes showed viable and total cell counts were higher at the higher flow rates of 0.96 and 1.75 m s⁻¹, compared to a flow rate of 0.32 m s⁻¹. Extracellular polysaccharide levels were not significantly different (P< 0.05) between each flow rate on all stainless steel surfaces studied. higher levels were found at the higher water velocities. the biofilm attached to stainless steel was comprised of a mixed bacterial flora including Acinetobacter sp, Pseudomonas spp, Methylobacterium sp, and Corynebacterium/Arthrobacter spp. Epifluorescence microscopy provided evidence of rod-shaped bacteria and the formation of stands, possibly of extracellular material attached to stainless steel at high flow rates but not at low flow rates.

Effects of microcosm preparation on rates of toluene biodegradation under denitrifying conditions

Microcosms were prepared with subsurface material from two aquifers to examine the effects of preparation methods on rates of toluene biodegradation under denitrifying conditions. In both cases, the data fit a zero-order kinetics plot. However, rates of removal were generally proportional to initial toluene concentrations, resulting in similar half-lives. Increasing the solid/liquid mass ratio resulted in decreased lag times in one aquifer material, although in both cases the specific toluene mass removal rate (g toluene g sediment ⁻¹ day⁻¹) also decreased. Varying either the initial toluene concentrations or the solid/liquid ratios by two to three orders of magnitude resulted in a half-life variation of only a factor of two, with most of the differences occurring at the extreme ranges of the test variables. These data indicate that similar biodegradation rates might be expected from microcosms prepared with different contaminant concentrations and solid/liquid ratios, which is useful for design of microcosm studies to evaluate biodegradation at field sites.

Effects of Elevated Temperature on Growth and Gas Exchange in Dominant Plant Species from Maowusu Sandland,China

We compared the effect of elevated temperature on morphological development, biomass accumulation and allocation, and gas exchange of three dominant plants (Caragana intermedia Kuanget H.C. Fu, Hedysarum mongolicum Turcz., and Artemisia ordosica Krasch.) growing in Chinese Maowusu sandland. Plants were grown in two temperature chambers (25/20, 28/23 °C, day/night) during 60 d. Tree height, number of leaves, and leaf area were increased in C. intermedia and H. mongolicum seedlings, while in A. ordosica temperature only affected tree height. Elevated temperature increased biomass and reduced the root : shoot ratio in C. intermedia and H. mongolicum seedlings, but not in A. ordosica seedlings. The net photosynthetic rate (P _N) and transpiration rate (E) were increased at days 40 and 60 in C. intermedia and H. mongolicum seedlings, while in A. ordosica seedlings no significant effects on E were observed, and P _N was increased only at day 60. Water use efficiency (WUE) was reduced at days 40 and 60 in H. mongolicum seedlings, and at day 60 in C. intermedia seedlings. No temperature effect on WUE was observed in A. ordosica seedlings. These different responses indicate that climate change could alter plant communities in Maowusu sandland.
