海拔对高山峡谷区土壤微生物生物量和酶活性的影响

为了解土壤微生物生物量和酶活性随海拔的变化特征,以川西海拔1563 m到3994 m的高山峡谷区的干旱河谷、干旱河谷-山地森林交错带、亚高山针叶林、高山森林和高山草甸土壤为研究对象,采用原位培养法研究了5种不同海拔生态系统中有机层(0～15 cm)和矿质层(15～30 cm)土壤微生物生物量碳氮、土壤蔗糖酶、脲酶及酸性磷酸酶活性的变化.结果表明:有机层土壤中微生物生物量碳氮和3种土壤酶活性呈现出先增加后减少再增加的变化特征,从2158 m开始不断增加,到3028 m左右达到峰值后减少,在3593 m出现最小值后,逆势增加直到3994 m后再次减少;矿质层土壤的微生物生物量碳氮和3种土壤酶活性表现为亚高山针叶林(3028 m)>高山草甸(3994 m)>干旱河谷-山地森林交错带(2158 m)>高山森林(3593 m)>干旱河谷(1563 m).各海拔梯度土壤有机层的微生物生物量和酶活性显著高于矿质层.高山峡谷区土壤微生物生物量与土壤酶活性呈极显著正相关.土壤微生物生物量和土壤酶与土壤含水量、有机碳和全氮呈极显著正相关,土壤蔗糖酶与土壤全磷含量呈极显著正相关,土壤酸性磷酸酶与土壤全磷和土壤温度呈极显著正相关.可见,高山峡谷区海拔变化引起的植被和其他环境因子的变化显著影响了土壤生化特性.     

岷江干旱河谷-山地森林交错带震后生态恢复的关键科学技术问题

作为典型的生态过渡区,岷江干旱河谷-山地森林交错带不仅是藏羌居民生活的重要区域,而且在抑制干旱河谷上延和延伸亚高山森林生态系统的功能等方面具有十分重要的作用。但这种脆弱生态系统极易受到人类活动干扰和自然灾害的损害,使其成为“5．12”汶川大地震中受损程度较高、灾后生态恢复与重建的重点区域之一。基于岷江干旱河谷-山地森林交错带受汶川大地震破坏的特点以及该区的生态重要性和本身的脆弱性,损毁生态系统的快速评估与生态重建规划、生产与生态双赢共建关键技术、震后残存植被保育、水源涵养地植被保护与恢复、震毁植被恢复与重建、耕地生产恢复与重建、边坡综合治理、低效薪炭林改良以及居民聚居点风景林营造等被认为是震后生态恢复的关键科学技术问题。震毁生态系统的生态恢复过程监测与评估、干旱河谷-山地森林交错带生态系统的脆弱性机制及生态学过程、震后生态系统对变化环境的响应与适应机制等可能是未来的重点研究领域。     

季节性冻结初期川西亚高山/高山森林土壤细菌多样性

高山/亚高山显著的季节性冻结过程可能对土壤细菌多样性产生重要影响。为了解季节性冻结初期土壤完全冻结前后川西亚高山/高山森林群落土壤细菌多样性变化特征,于2008年11月5日(土壤冻结前期)—11月25日(土壤完全冻结期)期间,采用PCR-DGGE技术同步研究了原始冷杉(Abies faxoniana)林(PF)、针阔混交林(MF)和次生冷杉林(SF)的土壤细菌群落多样性变化特征。土壤完全冻结后,3个森林群落仍然具有较高的土壤细菌多样性。3个森林的土壤细菌类群总数在土壤冻结前表现为MFSFPF,但在土壤完全冻结后表现为PFMFSF。土壤冻结明显降低了土壤细菌多样性,但提高了土壤细菌群落的优势度。冻结作用对土壤细菌群落的影响随着土壤深度增加而降低,随着海拔升高而降低。这些结果表明季节性冻结过程对亚高山/高山森林土壤细菌多样性有着显著的影响,这对深入认识冬季土壤生态过程具有重要意义。     

南方丘陵区不同坡地利用方式土壤水分动态

土壤水分异质性的存在对各种水文过程和土壤形成过程均有显著的影响,了解土壤水分的异质性对理解和预测土壤水分过程具有重要意义.应用时域反射仪(TDR)土壤水分定位监测方法,研究了南方丘陵区不同坡地利用方式土壤水分动态及其影响因子.结果表明:3种坡地利用方式土壤水分变化具有明显的季节特征,杜仲人工林土壤蓄水量最高,荒山草坡次之,坡耕地最低.植物非生长季节土壤含水量均值高于生长季节,生长季节土壤水分消耗大于补给,非生长季节土壤水分补给大于消耗;干季和湿季两个时段3种坡地利用方式土壤含水量垂直变化趋势具有相似性,其土壤含水量差异不显著.3种坡地利用方式土壤蓄水量与太阳辐射量和大气温度表现为负相关性,与降雨量、大气相对湿度和饱和水气压差表现为正相关性,降雨量是其最直接的影响因子,其次是温度.雨季单次降雨后土壤蓄水量与雨后干旱天数存在显著的线性负相关性(P<0.05),土壤水分损失率与干旱天数存在双曲函数关系(P<0.05), 随着干旱天数的增加,土壤水分损失率趋于平缓.雨季单次降雨后持续干旱条件下3种坡地利用方式土壤剖面含水量呈递减的变化趋势,杜仲人工林土壤水分损失率系数最高,荒山草坡次之,坡耕地最低.     

蒋家沟流域不同海拔灌草层群落特征与土壤关系的研究

为了解干热河谷区不同海拔梯度植物群落灌草层物种多样性与土壤养分、水分之间的关系,该文选择干热河谷典型流域——蒋家沟流域作为研究区域,在流域内海拔1 400～3 000 m范围设置样带,对样带内8个海拔梯度的植物群落进行样方调查,统计不同海拔梯度灌草层的物种组成,测定土壤养分、土壤含水量和持水量,并将土壤指标与植被多样性指数进行主成分分析和皮尔逊相关性分析。结果表明:流域内样地共发现灌草层植物32科77属80种,且灌草层植物群落组成、土壤有机碳(SOC)含量、全磷(TP)含量、土壤含水量和持水量均受海拔梯度的影响显著(P<0.05)。其中,土壤含水量、持水量、植物群落的丰富度指数和多样性指数均随着海拔升高不断增加,且高海拔区域SOC含量显著高于中低海拔区域(P<0.05)。土壤TP含量与Pielou指数、土壤含水量与Margalef指数、Shannon-Wiener指数和物种数均呈显著正相关(P<0.05),说明除海拔梯度外,土壤养分、水分含量是影响植物群落灌草层组成和多样性的关键因子。     

中亚热带3种典型森林土壤碳氮含量和酶活性的关系

森林类型更替是影响生态系统有机质循环的重要因素, 它对森林生态系统的生产力、碳吸存和养分保持功能有影响。然而关于中亚热带不同森林类型对土壤碳氮含量和酶活性的影响及土壤碳氮含量和酶活性之间的关系鲜有报道。该文研究了福建省三明市3种典型亚热带森林——米槠(Castanopsis carlesii)天然次生林(SF)、米槠人工促进天然更新林(AR)、马尾松(Pinus massoniana)人工林(PM)的淋溶层(A层)土壤碳氮含量和土壤微生物酶活性的关系。结果表明: 在3种森林类型表层土壤中, 可溶性有机质中可溶性有机碳、可溶性有机氮(DON)、荧光发射光谱腐殖化指数的趋势均为SF > AR > PM, 芳香化指数大小为PM > AR > SF; SF和AR的NH₄ ⁺-N显著高于PM, NO₃ ^--N在3种林分中的含量低且差异不明显, 造成这种差异的原因是树种差异和人为干扰程度不同。PM的β-葡萄糖苷酶活性显著低于SF和AR; 纤维素水解酶活性大小为AR > SF > PM; PM多酚氧化酶显著高于SF和AR, 3种林分过氧化物酶无显著差异。AR的β-N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖苷酶(NAG)显著高于其他两种林分。冗余分析显示土壤总氮和DON是驱动淋溶层土壤酶活性的主要环境因子。总之, 土壤总氮含量与NAG活性呈正相关关系, 并且可溶性有机氮可能是氮循环中的重要一环; 土壤微生物优先利用易分解碳; 且碳氮养分循环之间存在一定的耦合关系。氮提高了与土壤碳相关的水解酶活性, 从而可促进碳周转。     

岷江上游干旱河谷优势灌丛群落土壤生态酶化学计量特征

与碳(C)、氮(N)和磷(P)分解矿化相关的土壤生态酶的相对活性可以揭示微生物生长和代谢过程的能量限制。尽管干旱生态系统愈来愈受到生态学家的关注,但在土壤水分有效性限制和斑块状分布的植被背景下,探讨土壤酶活性化学计量特征,及其与土壤物理、化学因子和土壤微生物群落结构的关系的相关研究仍十分缺乏。通过调查岷江干旱河谷不同水分梯度4个研究样地(两河口、飞虹、撮箕和牟托)灌丛及其丛间空地的土壤物理化学性质、微生物群落组成和土壤生态酶活性,探讨不同水分梯度样地间及灌丛和空地间土壤酶活性计量的分布特征。结果显示,岷江干旱河谷土壤C∶N∶P酶活性化学计量表现出了与全球尺度上酶活性化学计量的相对特异性(C∶N∶P=3∶2∶2 vs.1∶1∶1)。整体上,岷江干旱河谷区域土壤微生物生长代谢存在一定程度的N限制。虽然酶活性化学计量特征在所有空地和灌丛土壤之间总体未表现出显著差异,但对各研究地的进一步分析表明,两个相对干旱的两河口和飞虹样地表现出更为明显的N限制,而两个相对湿润的撮箕和牟托样地则存在一定的P限制。这种样地间的差异性主要受土壤水分有效性的驱动。逐步回归分析表明,土壤含水量是不同样地间土壤C∶N酶活性比(ln(BG)∶ln(NAG+LAP))和N∶P酶活性比(ln(NAG+LAP)∶ln(AP))的决定性影响因子。而土壤含水量与C∶N酶活性比具有显著正相关关系,与N∶P酶活性比表现为显著负相关关系。此外,土壤真菌、菌根真菌和真菌∶细菌比对土壤酶活性化学计量的影响,说明了真菌和菌根真菌类群对干旱河谷养分循环的重要作用。

中国北方农牧交错带生态系统服务空间格局及影响因子——以内蒙古中西部地区为例

中国北方农牧交错带是我国重要的生态安全屏障之一,面临经济发展与脆弱生态环境保护间的突出矛盾。生态系统服务的定量研究是生态可持续管理的重要科学依据,也是当前的研究热点之一。以北方农牧交错带的核心区域--内蒙古中西部地区为例,结合中高分辨率遥感数据和生物物理模型准确量化了2000-2018年关键生态系统服务,基于Getis-Ord G^*方法分析了生态系统服务的空间格局,考虑地理数据的空间自相关性选取了空间回归模型探索其影响因子。结果表明：（1）净初级生产力（NPP,Net primary productivity）、土壤水蚀控制服务（SC,Soil conservation）、产水量（WY,Water yield）及三层土壤含水量（SM1,Soil moisture of top layer;SM2,Soil moisture of middle layer;SM3,Soil moisture of bottom layer）在东部较高,防风固沙服务（SF,Sand fixation）在南部和西部较高;（2）以上生态系统服务受气候变化、景观格局、地形和土壤条件等综合影响,不同影响因素对生态系统服务的作用存在差异。NPP受森林景观格局和归一化植被指数的影响最为显著;WY、SM1、SM2、SM3及SC受降水量的影响较为显著;风速和表层土壤砂粒含量对SF影响最为显著。研究结果可以为优化景观格局和土地系统,缓解中国北方农牧交错带的社会-生态矛盾提供科学依据和案例参考。     

岷江干旱河谷主要灌丛类型地上生物量研究

灌丛是岷江干旱河谷主要的植被类型,也是该区相对稳定的生态系统类型。基于岷江干旱河谷主要灌丛大量的样地调查和实验,研究了其地上生物量及分布规律。结果表明:(1)该地区的9个灌丛的地上生物量存在较大差异,对节刺灌丛的地上生物量最大,达11554.2kg·hm-2,其次是子栎灌丛和绣线菊灌丛,分别为7144.7kg·hm-2和7213.1kg·hm-2,而滇紫草灌丛的平均地上生物量最小,仅为1407.2kg·hm-2,其余类型介于它们之间,导致这一结果的原因很多,如群落的优势种、物种组成、海拔、坡向、土壤水分等等;(2)灌丛地上生物量都随海拔升高而增加,并呈现出良好的相关性。(3)干旱河谷中土壤水分也随着海拔升高而增加。在干旱河谷过渡区,灌丛地上生物量与土壤水分间呈现很好的相关性;但是,在其核心区,灌丛地上生物量与土壤水分之间的相关性反而不显著。这主要是由于在干旱河谷的低海拔地区,"焚风"作用相对较强,其土壤水分条件较差,灌丛的生长受到抑制,随着海拔的升高,"焚风"作用不断降低,土壤水分条件逐步得到改善,灌丛的生长状况较好。而在干旱河谷核心区内"焚风"作用较强,其影响的海拔范围更大,因而,导致土壤水分非常低。由此可见,土壤水分是干旱河谷灌丛植被生长的主要限制因素。此外,低海拔地区灌丛植被受人类干扰活动的频     

Anthropology and genetics of the caucasus peoples and the problem of the origin of the caucasoids

The electrophoretical polymorphisms of some blood proteins were studied in the Talysh population of Pirasora situated in South-East Azerbaidjan. We calculated the gene frequencies of these polymorphisms and determined the genetic distances between the Talyshes and some Iranian populations of North, Central and South Iran, Afghans, and three populations of Azerbaijan. The Talyshes are very close to Iranians of Shiraz, whereas they are distant from the Azerbaijanians. Anthropological investigations showed that the Caucasoids and Mongoloids lived in the Aragvi Basin since the Eneolithic period. This was stated by Alexeev (1974), who emphasized the mixture of the Caucasus populations from ancient times on. We calculated the genetic distances between the Caucasus populations and numerous populations of other geographic regions, considering 28 alleles of 12 loci of blood group, serum protein and red cell enzyme polymorphisms and constructed the dendrogram of these populations. The position of the Caucasus populations in the dendrogram corresponds on principle to the earlier anthropological observations. The clustering of the Caucasoid populations corresponds completely with anthropological and historical data, and supports our earlier hypothesis (Nazarova 1999) concerning the differentiation of Caucasoids, Northern Mongoloids and Amerinds from the populations, which inhabitated Asia in palaeolithic times.

Serology and systematics of the Ebenales and the Theales

The systematic position ofthe Ebenaceae, Sapotaceae, Styracaceae, Ochnaceae, Stachyuraceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Clusiaceae and Hypericaceae has been investigated using serological comparisons of sets of antigenic determinants. The results show that the Sytracaceae and Sapotaceae are undoubtedly more closely associated with the Actinidiaeceae and Theaceae, respectively, than with each other. We found no corresponding determinants betnween antigen systems from the Ebenaceae and systems from any other family whose relations to this family have been proposed. As discovered previously, investigations of antigen systems from the Ochnaceae, Dipterocarpaceae, Stachyuraceae, Clusiaceae and Hypericaceae are against the idea of a natural order “Theales” in which these families, or at least some of them, are combined with the Theaceae and Actinidiaceae. This paper completes our previous investigations which largely support a superorder Ericanae sensu Ehrendorfer and Takhtajan. We propose to include the Actinidiaceae and Theaceae in this superorder, assigning them a central position laong with the Sapotaceae and Sytracaeae on one side and the Primulales and Ericales on the other. Another most interesting finding is that there are corresponding determinants between antigen systems from the members of the Ericanae and representatives of the Polemoniaceae and Loasaceae.     

Kinematics and dynamics of the temporomandibular joint and of the movements of the mandible

In order to analyze the complicated movements of the mandible as the open-closing movement and the protrusio are, it is useful to evaluate the basic kinematic principles and reduce them to simple technical constructions. Both the open-closing movement and the protrusio could be reduced to 4-bar links, which were used to simulate the movements with help of a computer. Besides, the polodes and the curves of points in the muscular attachments could be constructed. The 2 entirely different 4-bar links have 3 things in common: The resting system - cranium, the moving system - mandibula, and 1 of the 2 arms connecting these 2 systems - the ligamentum laterale. As this ligament is taut during movements it can be considered a "guiding ligament" representing 1 of the 3 determining components of the mandibular movements. The other of the 2 arms has no anatomical equivalent; this arm, however, is "replaced" by the 2 other determining components of the mandibular movements: the joint and the muscles. The curves, which the Caput mandibulae describes, are practically identical for the open-closing movement and the protrusio despite of the different 4-bar links and these curves exactly correspond to the Discus articularis, taut by the upper part of the M. pterygoideus lateralis. The muscles do not only just move the mandibula, but they are also the component, which can choose between the different mandibular movements. By means of the curves, which points in the muscular attachments describe, the function of the masticatory muscles could be analyzed exactly.     

On the structure and dynamics of the complex of the nucleosome and the linker histone

Several different models of the linker histone (LH)–nucleosome complex have been proposed, but none of them has unambiguously revealed the position and binding sites of the LH on the nucleosome. Using Brownian dynamics-based docking together with normal mode analysis of the nucleosome to account for the flexibility of two flanking 10 bp long linker DNAs (L-DNA), we identified binding modes of the H5-LH globular domain (GH5) to the nucleosome. For a wide range of nucleosomal conformations with the L-DNA ends less than 65 Å apart, one dominant binding mode was identified for GH5 and found to be consistent with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments. GH5 binds asymmetrically with respect to the nucleosomal dyad axis, fitting between the nucleosomal DNA and one of the L-DNAs. For greater distances between L-DNA ends, docking of GH5 to the L-DNA that is more restrained and less open becomes favored. These results suggest a selection mechanism by which GH5 preferentially binds one of the L-DNAs and thereby affects DNA dynamics and accessibility and contributes to formation of a particular chromatin fiber structure. The two binding modes identified would, respectively, favor a tight zigzag chromatin structure or a loose solenoid chromatin fiber.     

Biophysics and Structure of the Patch and the Gigaseal

Interpreting channel behavior in patches requires an understanding of patch structure and dynamics, especially in studies of mechanosensitive channels. High resolution optical studies show that patch formation occurs via blebbing that disrupts normal membrane structure and redistributes in situ components including ion channels. There is a 1-2 μm region of the seal below the patch where proteins are excluded and this may consist of extracted lipids that form the gigaseal. Patch domes often have complex geometries with inhomogeneous stresses due to the membrane-glass adhesion energy (E_a), cytoskeletal forces, and possible lipid subdomains. The resting tension in the patch dome ranges from 1-4 mN/m, a significant fraction of the lytic tension of a bilayer (∼10 mN/m). Thus, all patch experiments are conducted under substantial, and uneven, resting tension that may alter the kinetics of many channels. E_a seems dominated by van der Waals attraction overlaid with a normally repulsive Coulombic force. High ionic strength pipette saline increased E_a and, surprisingly, increased cytoskeletal rigidity in cell-attached patches. Low pH pipette saline also increased E_a and reduced the seal selectivity for cations, presumably by neutralizing the membrane surface charge. The seal is a negatively charged, cation selective, space with a resistance of ∼7 gigohm/μm in 100 mM KCl, and the high resistivity of the space may result from the presence of high viscosity glycoproteins. Patches creep up the pipette over time with voltage independent and voltage dependent components. Voltage-independent creep is expected from the capillary attraction of E_a and the flow of fresh lipids from the cell. Voltage-dependent creep seems to arise from electroosmosis in the seal. Neutralization of negative charges on the seal membrane with low pH decreased the creep rate and reversed the direction of creep at positive pipette potentials.     

The efficacy of ropivacaine and bupivacaine in the caesarean section and the effect on the vital signs and the hemodynamics of the lying-in women

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of ropivacaine and bupivacaine in caesarean section and vital signs and the hemodynamics of the lying-in women.MethodsA total of 480 lying-in women who were admitted to this hospital for treatment between December 2017 and June 2018 were enrolled into this study as the subjects, which were divided into the experiment group and the control group, with 240 subjects in each group. In the experiment group, subjects received the local anesthesia by infusion of 1.5 mL ropivacaine (0.75%), while those in the control group also took the local anesthesia by infusion of 1.5 mL bupivacaine (0.75%). Thereafter, we observed the differences in the anesthetic efficiency, vital signs and hemodynamics of the lying-in women between two groups.ResultsThe excellent and good rates of the anesthesia in two groups were 92.1% and 87.9%, showing no obvious difference; in the experiment group, the average arterial pressures and systolic pressures at 5 min and 10 min after combined spinal and epidural analgesia (CSEA) were all elevated when comparing to the control group (all P < 0.05); in the experiment group, the onset time was obviously extended, while duration of sensory and motor block and the duration of motor block were all shorter than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). During anesthesia, the incidence rate of the adverse reactions in the control group was 2.50%, significantly higher than 0.83% in the experiment group (P < 0.05).ConclusionDespite that ropivacaine and bupivacaine are efficient in anesthesia in the CSEA in the caesarean section, ropivacaine is more recommended for little influence on the hemodynamics, shorter duration of sensory block and motor block and low incidence rate of adverse reactions, which are conducive to the recovery and also safe to the patients.
