宁夏河东沙区侧柏冠层气孔导度对环境因子的响应及其模拟

为了解林木冠层气孔导度对环境因子的响应规律,进一步阐释冠层气孔导度调控森林蒸腾的机理,本研究以宁夏河东沙区典型防护林树种侧柏(Platycladus orientalis)为对象,利用Granier热扩散技术,在生长旺季(7—9月)连续监测树干液流,并同步观测小气候;利用Penman-Monteith方程计算获得连续的冠层气孔导度(gc),并采用Jarvis-Stewart气孔模型对侧柏冠层气孔导度变化过程进行模拟。结果表明:环境因子与gc呈极显著相关关系(P0.01),对侧柏gc的影响从大到小依次为大气温度(Ta)太阳辐射(Rs)饱和水气压亏缺(VPD)空气湿度(RH)。典型晴天下,gc与VPD、Ta的关系曲线上升阶段和下降阶段路径不同,呈现"磁滞回环"的特性,且不同时段表现出不同的响应规律。Jarvis-Stewart模型较好地模拟了侧柏冠层气孔导度对环境变量Rs、VPD、Ta的响应过程,采用交叉验证法对模型进行验证和参数率定,可以解释84.4%的变量。     

华北山区侧柏冠层气孔导度特征及其对环境因子的响应

冠层气孔导度(g_s)是衡量冠层-大气界面水汽通量的重要生物学常数,研究其特征及对环境因子的响应,能为开展森林冠层水汽交换过程的机理性研究提供理论依据.于2014年利用SF-L热扩散式探针测定了侧柏的树干液流密度(J_s),同步监测光合有效辐射(PAR)、饱和水汽压差(VPD)、气温(T)等环境因子,计算侧柏的冠层气孔导度特征并分析其对各环境因子的响应.结果表明: 侧柏液流密度的日变化总体呈双峰曲线,生长季高于非生长季,且胸径越大液流密度越大;冠层气孔导度日变化与单位叶面积冠层蒸腾(E_L)趋势相近,均呈双峰曲线,生长季的冠层气孔导度和蒸腾较非生长季略高.侧柏冠层气孔导度与空气温度呈抛物线关系,在10 ℃左右冠层气孔导度达到峰谷;光合有效辐射以400 μmol·m^-2·s^-1为界,小于该阈值两者呈正相关关系,大于该阈值则冠层气孔导度受其影响较小;与饱和水汽压差呈负对数函数关系,随饱和水汽压差增大而逐渐降低.较高的空气温度和光合有效辐射、较低的饱和水汽压差有利于侧柏形成较大的冠层气孔导度,进而促进冠层蒸腾.     

北京市5种园林树木蒸腾作用模拟研究

通过对北京市园林5种常用乔木, 国槐(Sophora japonica)、银杏(Ginkgo biloba)、白蜡(Fraxinus chinensis)、杜仲(Eucommia ulmoides)和臭椿( Ailanthus altissima)等植物蒸腾作用与周围环境气象因子(温度、湿度、太阳有效辐射)及植株叶面积指数相关关系的研究, 利用Javis公式计算冠层气孔阻力, 同时采用PM公式计算冠层蒸腾速率和植株日蒸腾量, 并分析不同乔木的冠层气孔导度对环境主要驱动因子的响应规律。结果表明: 5种被观测乔木中, 国槐耗水量最大, 白蜡耗水量最小, 植株蒸腾量大小依次为国槐>银杏>杜仲>臭椿>白蜡(P<0.01)。植物叶片气孔导度及蒸腾量与环境驱动因子太阳辐射及水气压亏缺的相关关系表明, 在土壤水分条件较好时, 国槐长势优于其它4种乔木, 但是其对水分的利用不够经济, 在干旱的情况下不能有效节水。     

马占相思林冠层气孔导度对环境驱动因子的响应

利用Granier热消散探针在2003年10月测定了广东鹤山丘陵地马占相思林14株样树的树干液流,同时监测林冠上方的光合有效辐射、空气湿度和气温,结合树木的形态和林分的结构特征,计算马占相思的整树蒸腾(E)、林分总蒸腾(E_t)以及冠层平均气孔导度(g_c),分析树形特征与整树水分利用的关系、冠层气孔导度对光合有效辐射(PAR)和空气水汽压亏缺(D)的响应.结果表明,整树蒸腾与胸径(P＜0.0001)、边材面积(P＜0.0001)和冠幅(P=0.0007)以自然对数的形式、与树高(P=0.014)以幂函数的形式呈现显著正相关.冠层气孔导度最大值(g_cmax)随D的上升呈对数函数下降(P＜0.0001),对光合有效辐射的响应则呈双曲线函数增加(P＜0.0001).液流测定系统能提供连续和准确的整树和林分蒸腾速率值,经严格数学推导公式计算,最终可求出冠层气孔导度,是研究森林水分利用与环境因子相互关系的有效方法.     

桂花树冠层气孔导度模型的优化及其参数分析

冠层气孔导度(g_c)是许多陆面过程模型中的重要参数,提高对冠层气孔导度的模拟精度非常重要。以环境因子阶乘的Jarvis形式的模型是气孔导度模型中的典型代表,但研究中不同的环境因子有不同的响应方程和参数。研究认为不同的响应方程有不同的模拟效果,并通过比较各环境因子的不同响应方程组合的模型的模拟效果来确定最优的g_c模型。以桂花树为例,测定了树干液流、茎水势和微气象环境,用Penman-Monteith(PM)方程反推计算冠层气孔导度并检验不同方程组合的16种模型。模型的参数用DiffeRential Evolution Adaptive Metropolis(DREAM)模型优化。结果表明这种方法能够有效地找到各环境因子最优的响应方程,从而最优化g_c模型。优化的g_c模型很好地模拟了桂花树冠层气孔导度的变化,尤其是对干旱的响应,模拟值与PM计算值的相关系数和均方根误差分别为0.803和0.000623 m/s。同时也证明了模型中温度函数f(T)1的现象并非个例,由于温度(T)和水汽压亏缺(D)常是高度相关的,建议在以后的g_c模型研究中应把T和D看成一个影响因子,但f(T)1的这种现象是否具有全球性还有待进一步研究证实。     

基于树干液流测定值的马占相思(Acacia mangium)冠层气孔导度计算及数值模拟

为深入揭示华南地区马占相思冠层气孔导度对环境因子的响应规律,在2005年7月至11月,利用Granier热消散式探针法对马占相思(Acacia mangium)的树干液流(sapflow)进行了连续测定,计算出整树的蒸腾,并由Penman-Monteith方程得出马占相思的冠层气孔导度值。通过分析,发现:马占相思冠层气孔导度是控制马占相思树整树蒸腾的主要因素;冠层气孔导度随着水汽压亏缺增加呈负指数函数下降的趋势。使用包括了太阳总辐射、水汽压亏缺和气温的Jarvis模型可以较好地模拟马占相思冠层气孔导度对环境因子的响应特征;模拟结果表明:环境变量对模型精确度的影响程度依次为:水汽压亏缺>太阳总辐射>气温。     

华南荷木林冠层气孔导度对水汽压亏缺的响应

冠层气孔导度(Gs)是量化气孔在冠层尺度水平上表现的参数,能够表征森林冠层表面水汽和能量交换的动态.本研究利用Granier树干液流测定系统,连续监测华南地区荷木林的树干液流,通过尺度转换和扩展获得冠层蒸腾速率,结合微气象观测值,以Pen-man-Monteith公式计算了Gs,并比较不同土壤水分条件下Gs对水汽压亏缺的响应.结果显示,Gs与气孔气体交换方法实测的叶片气孔导度(gs)日变化相似,单位转换数值大小与实测gs数量级一致.Gs对水汽压亏缺的响应在干季和湿季有明显差别:(1)在土壤水分充足的湿季(土壤含水量θ ＞33％),Gs对水汽压亏缺的响应更敏感(偏相关系数-0.316),而在干季(θ＜23％)则对光合有效辐射的响应更敏感(偏相关系数0.885).(2)荷木林冠层-大气脱耦联系数(Ω)在湿季接近l,干季则较湿季小,说明湿季叶片的界面层较厚,水汽压亏缺对Gs影响较小,而光合有效辐射是控制Gs的主要环境因子.     

北京市5种园林树木蒸腾作用模拟研究

通过对北京市园林5种常用乔木，国槐（Sophora japonica）、银杏（Ginkgo biloba）、白蜡（Fraxinus chinensis）、杜仲（Eucommia ulmoides）和臭椿（Ailanthus altissima）等植物蒸腾作用与周围环境气象因子（温度、湿度、太阳有效辐射）及植株叶面积指数相关关系的研究，利用Javis公式计算冠层气孔阻力，同时采用PM公式计算冠层蒸腾速率和植株日蒸腾量，并分析不同乔木的冠层气孔导度对环境主要驱动因子的响应规律。结果表明：5种被观测乔木中，国槐耗水量最大，白蜡耗水量最小，植株蒸腾量大小依次为国槐〉银杏〉杜仲〉臭椿〉白蜡（P＜0．01）。植物叶片气孔导度及蒸腾量与环境驱动因子太阳辐射及水气压亏缺的相关关系表明，在土壤水分条件较好时，国槐长势优于其它4种乔木，但是其对水分的利用不够经济，在干旱的情况下不能有效节水。     

羊草叶片气孔导度特征及数值模拟

对松嫩平原草地羊草叶片气孔导特征及与环境因子关系的研究结果表明,羊草叶片气孔导度日变化与环境因子密切相关,晴天表现为双峰曲线,阴天为单峰曲线,同时叶片气孔导度（gs)对瞬时光合有效辐射（PAR）,叶片与空气间的水汽压亏损（VPD）,空气温度（Ta）反应十分明显,依据野外实测资料,在对国际上两类代表性气孔导度模型验证比较的基础上,建立了适用于羊草草原的羊草叶片气孔导度对环境因子的响应模型gs=PAR(2.01Ta^2 147.74Ta-2321.11)/(444.62 PAR)(-538.04 VPD).     

城市绿地冠层导度季节变化及其环境调控

冠层导度(canopy conductance,gc)是生态系统对环境响应的敏感性指标,探讨冠层导度对环境因素的响应模式对了解生态系统生产力的变化模式至关重要。城市绿地作为人为设计的复合生态系统,其冠层导度变化规律及其对环境因子的响应亟待明确。基于涡度相关方法,本研究调查了北京奥林匹克森林公园2012-2016年连续5年的冠层导度的季节动态变化及其对空气温度(Ta)、光合有效辐射(PAR)、饱和水汽压差(VPD)以及土壤含水量(VWC)等环境因子的响应,利用统计回归方法分析了环境因子对冠层导度的影响,最后分析了冠层导度对总生态系统生产力(GEP)的影响。结果表明:2012-2016年的冠层导度依次为3.97、3.28、2.13、3.95和5.07 mm·s^-1,5年平均值为3.69±1.99 mm·s^-1;季节变化表现为从4月开始逐渐升高,在7、8月达到最大值后逐渐降低;在季节尺度上,VWC和Ta是影响冠层导度的主要环境因子,冠层导度随它们的增加而增大;而PAR和VPD对冠层导度的影响存在年际间的差异;5年间,GEP随着冠层导度的升高显著增大;城市绿地中,季节尺度上土壤水分的增加和气温的升高显著增加冠层导度,从而促进GEP。     

miREnvironment database: providing a bridge for microRNAs, environmental factors and phenotypes

The interaction between genetic factors and environmental factors has critical roles in determining the phenotype of an organism. In recent years, a number of studies have reported that the dysfunctions on microRNA (miRNAs), environmental factors and their interactions have strong effects on phenotypes and even may result in abnormal phenotypes and diseases, whereas there has been no a database linking miRNAs, environmental factors and phenotypes. Such a resource platform is believed to be of great value in the understanding of miRNAs, environmental factors, especially drugs and diseases. In this study, we constructed the miREnvironment database, which contains a comprehensive collection and curation of experimentally supported interactions among miRNAs, environmental factors and phenotypes. The names of miRNAs, phenotypes, environmental factors, conditions of environmental factors, samples, species, evidence and references were further annotated. miREnvironment represents a biomedical resource for researches on miRNAs, environmental factors and diseases.

Ecological correlates and determinants in the geographical variation of deer morphology

Previous studies on patterns in ungulate size variations have emphasized the effect of a particular environmental factor such as Bergmann's rule and the island rule. However, although multiple environmental factors may influence the body size, these studies focused on a single factor, and various measurements that may be influenced by different environmental factors (at least partly) were used as indices of body size. In this study, we used several skull and limb measurements to examine size variations among island populations of sika deer (Cervus nippon) in southern Japan considering the effects of multiple environmental factors. We found that all measurements differed markedly between populations. We focused on the skull and limb condylobasal length (CBL) and metacarpal length because they had the most important variations among the populations and the largest sample sizes. The common environmental factors influencing CBL and metacarpal length were island area and precipitation. Since these environmental factors reflect the availability of food resources, the causal factor of body size variation may be food resources. Interpopulation variation in metacarpal length was greater than that of CBL, indicating that metacarpal length may be affected by additional factors besides the common factors shared with CBL. Specific environmental factors influencing relative (CBL adjusted) metacarpal length were precipitation and slope. A common direct cause of those environmental factors was discussed in relation to topography. Analyses of phenotypic variation using multiple measurements with multiple environmental factors are useful to gain insight into underlying causes and can lead to identification of a measurement-specific variation with a specific driving force.     

Effects of abiotic factors and species interactions on estimates of male plant function: a meta‐analysis

The majority of angiosperms are hermaphroditic with total fitness comprised of both male and female components of reproduction. However, most studies examining the effects of abiotic factors and species interactions on fitness have focussed on female reproduction, potentially biasing our understanding of the consequences of environmental factors on total fitness. Here, we use meta‐analysis to test how environmental factors affect male function. We obtained 278 effect sizes from 96 studies that measured male function responses to manipulated environmental factors. We found significant effects of abiotic factors and species interactions on estimates of male function, with responses varying depending on environmental factor identity. Male and female responses were correlated for abiotic factor manipulations, but varied based on the type of species interaction (antagonistic or mutualistic). This suggests that measuring only female function may misrepresent whole‐plant reproduction depending on context. Finally, we found differences amongst components of male function in response to environmental factors, suggesting that some male function estimates may fail to capture the effects of environmental factors on male fitness. Our results demonstrate the importance of incorporating male function into ecological and evolutionary studies to provide a more accurate understanding of the effects of environmental factors on total fitness.

Pathological Lesions in Swine at Slaughter

The influence of environment on animal health was studied in 40 bacon herds. These herds delivered approx. 11,000 baconers annually to the slaughter-house. The data from the meat inspection was studied in connection with the environmental recordings, and the relationship between 18 lesions and 20 environmental factors were estimated by statistical methods. The data was collected in the period 1975–1977. The influence of environmental factors upon the prevalence of different lesions showed considerable variation. Ten environmental factors were significantly associated with pleurisy and tail lesions (cannibalism). On the other hand none of the environmental factors bore any significant relation to atrophic rhinitis, pericarditis, peritonitis, perihepatitis, polyarthritis, arthritis and claw lesions. Eight environmental factors influenced the proportion of healthy animals. The recorded environmental factors influenced the overall health situation to a varying degree. For example, design of pen walls, insulation of pen floors, occasional use of supplementary feed and free access to drinking water were related to 5–7 lesions, while the nature of the concentrate (meal/pellets) had no significant influence. The study indicated that many details in environment and management could be of importance to the health of bacon pigs. However, statistical analysis also showed that production systems had a considerably stronger influence upon the health situation than any of the “pure” environmental factors – even when these factors were added.     

Inferring process from pattern in plant invasions: a semimechanistic model incorporating propagule pressure and environmental factors

Propagule pressure is intuitively a key factor in biological invasions: increased availability of propagules increases the chances of establishment, persistence, naturalization, and invasion. The role of propagule pressure relative to disturbance and various environmental factors is, however, difficult to quantify. We explored the relative importance of factors driving invasions using detailed data on the distribution and percentage cover of alien tree species on South Africa's Agulhas Plain (2,160 km2). Classification trees based on geology, climate, land use, and topography adequately explained distribution but not abundance (canopy cover) of three widespread invasive species (Acacia cyclops, Acacia saligna, and Pinus pinaster). A semimechanistic model was then developed to quantify the roles of propagule pressure and environmental heterogeneity in structuring invasion patterns. The intensity of propagule pressure (approximated by the distance from putative invasion foci) was a much better predictor of canopy cover than any environmental factor that was considered. The influence of environmental factors was then assessed on the residuals of the first model to determine how propagule pressure interacts with environmental factors. The mediating effect of environmental factors was species specific. Models combining propagule pressure and environmental factors successfully predicted more than 70% of the variation in canopy cover for each species.     

Zooplankton associations and environmental factors in Ogunpa and Ona rivers, Nigeria

Zooplankton abundance, composition and environmental parameters were monitored in two tropical rivers over a twenty month period. The data was subjected to cluster, factor and correlation analysis to determine the grouping pattern of zooplankton and their relationship to environmental parameters. Environmental factors in Ogunpa and Ona rivers--included buffering capacity, trace metal ions, pH-temperature/transparency--were primarily influenced by rainfall. The dominance of the Rotifera in both rivers was attributed to their short developmental rate and fish predation on larger zooplankton. Two groups of associations were identified in each river--a commonly occurring species group exhibiting strong homogenous correlation with environmental factors and a predominant group exhibiting weak correlation with environmental factors and whose abundance/composition may be defined by biotic factors.     

黄土高原归一化植被指数与自然环境因子的空间关联性——基于地理探测器

植被对改善黄土高原脆弱的生态环境有着关键作用,系统研究黄土高原归一化植被指数(NDVI)空间分布和环境因子的空间关联性,可为新时代黄土高原植被高质量建设提供科学依据。以黄土高原2000-2017年年均植被NDVI为研究对象,选取气候要素、地形因素、土壤类型和植被类型等自然环境因子,运用GIS和地理探测器技术手段,在剔除土地利用类型发生变化栅格的基础上,研究黄土高原年均NDVI与环境因子的空间关联性,结果表明:2000-2017年黄土高原年均NDVI值在0.016-0.72之间,呈地带性分布,由西北部向东南部逐渐升高,大于0.3的区域占50.23%;2000-2017年黄土高原年均植被NDVI分布具有空间异质性,且在不同植被区、地貌区、土壤区和气候区中,NDVI空间分布的主要环境驱动因子具有差异性。年均降雨量对NDVI空间分布具有强解释力,是黄土高原85.20%的区域植被生长的主要制约因子;约12.01%的区域主要受土壤类型影响,为中等解释力,其余区域的植被生长主要受年均气温,日照时数或海拔影响。建议综合考虑不同环境条件下植被NDVI的空间分布与环境影响因子的空间关联性,明确不同区域中植被NDVI的环境制约因子,以制约因子定植,在防止土壤干燥化、贫瘠化的前提下,提高植被覆盖率和生物多样性,以期促进黄土高原植被建设高质量发展。     

Patterns of diversity and abundance of fleas and mites in the Neotropics: host‐related,parasite‐related and environment‐related factors

The effects of host‐related, parasite‐related and environmental factors on the diversity and abundance of two ectoparasite taxa, fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) and mites (Acari: Mesostigmata), parasitic on small mammals (rodents and marsupials), were studied in different localities across Brazil. A stronger effect of host‐related factors on flea than on mite assemblages, and a stronger effect of environmental factors on mite than on flea assemblages were predicted. In addition, the effects of parasite‐related factors on flea and mite diversity and abundance were predicted to manifest mainly at the scale of infracommunities, whereas the effects of host‐related and environmental factors were predicted to manifest mainly at the scale of component and compound communities. This study found that, in general, diversity and abundance of flea and mite assemblages at two lower hierarchical levels (infracommunities and component communities) were affected by host‐related, parasite‐related and environmental factors, and compound communities were affected mainly by host‐related and environmental factors. The effects of factors differed between fleas and mites: in fleas, community structure and abundance depended on host diversity to a greater extent than in mites. In addition, the effects of factors differed among parasite assemblages harboured by different host species.     

The effect of enhancing environmental factors on the quality of patients’ sleep in a cardiac surgical intensive care unit

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of enhancing environmental factors on the duration and quality of sleep among patients in a cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit (CSICU). This quasi-experimental study was conducted upon 100 patients. The experimental group received nursing interventions to control the environmental factors that negatively affect nocturnal sleep. Data also were collected using a form to assess the environmental factors and the Richards–Campbell Sleep Questionnaire in the morning of the second day after the operation. The difference between the groups was statistically significant in favor of the experimental group for eight of the environmental factors. Compared with that in the control group, the duration of sleep was longer (experimental, 6.30 h; control, 3.98 h) and the quality of sleep was higher (experimental, 66.57 units; control, 44.43 units) in the experimental group. We conclude that nursing interventions should be used to control the environmental factors that negatively affect nocturnal sleep in CSICUs.
