间伐对杉木人工林碳储量的长期影响

间伐改变了林分环境,影响林木生长及碳储量,准确评估间伐后人工林碳储量变化对碳汇林业的发展具有重要意义.在浙江开化采用下层间伐法,开展了3种间伐处理(对照、中度和强度间伐)对22年生杉木人工林碳储量及其组分分配影响的研究.强度间伐(总间伐强度50%)和中度间伐(总间伐强度35%)均在第7年和第14年进行共计2次间伐,对照在林木生长中期(第14年)进行1次轻度间伐(间伐强度15%).结果表明： 树干碳储量的比例随间伐强度增大而增加,树枝、叶和根碳储量的比例则略有降低,表明间伐有利于树干碳储量的累积.中度和强度间伐处理杉木人工林乔木层碳储量随间伐强度增加而减小,碳储量分别为对照的89.0%和83.1%.第1次间伐后2 a乔木层碳储量显著减少,第2次间伐后8 a,间伐处理乔木层碳储量恢复速率较快,强度间伐乔木层碳储量增量接近对照.林下植被层、凋落物层和土壤层碳储量在不同间伐处理间差异不显著.对照、中度和强度间伐杉木人工林系统总碳储量分别为169.34、156.65和154.37 t·hm^-2,不同间伐处理间差异不显著.可见,试验区杉木人工林间伐15 a后不会导致生态系统总碳储量降低.

对11年生同一坡面杉木林分设立不间伐(CK)和间伐强度30%、45%、60%四个处理,调查不同间伐强度的林木树高、胸径、材积生长状况。试验表明,间伐6年后实施间伐的林分单株树高、胸径、材积的增长量分别比对照高出5.7%～37.1%、12.5%～112.5%和15.0%～129.8%;其中,间伐强度60%林分树高、胸径的增长最为显著,其次为45%间伐强度。但林分总蓄积量增加最多的是对照小区。间伐强度对培育不同径阶的杉木材有重要影响。     

不同间伐强度对杉木人工林碳储量及其分配的影响

间伐改变了林分环境,影响林木生长及碳储量,准确评估不同间伐强度对杉木人工林生物量及碳储量的影响对碳汇林业的发展具有重要意义。2013年,以中国林业科学研究院热带林业实验中心1992年造林并于2005年实施3种不同间伐强度(74%:H、50%:M和34%:L)的杉木人工林为研究对象,样地内每木检尺,实测样木生物量,并结合杉木群落各组分含碳率的实测值,对杉木人工林的生物量和碳储量进行估算,结果表明:H(74%)显著增加了林木的胸径(P0.01),分别比M(50%)、L(34%)和CK(0%)增加了13.65%、20.74%和18.37%。3种间伐强度之间树高差异均不显著,而CK的树高均大于3种间伐强度的树高,分别比H、M和L增加了6.64%、15.73%和16.70%。与对照相比,H显著增加了林木的单株生物量(P0.01)。对照林地乔木层的碳储量均显著高于其他3种间伐强度的乔木层碳储量(P0.05),而乔木层各器官碳储量大小顺序为:树干树枝树根树皮树叶;3种间伐强度和对照处理杉木人工林之间的生态系统碳储量差异性不显著(P0.05),其中乔木层和土壤层为主要碳库,两者所占总的碳储量超过生态系统总的碳储量的97.62%。

以川东低山区29年生马尾松人工林为对象,研究了不同间伐强度(0、10%、20%、30%、40%、50%)处理1年后林下植被群落物种组成与多样性分异特征初期响应。结果表明: 各间伐处理均能降低草本植物芒、芒萁的优势地位,而各处理灌木的优势物种组成较复杂,中等间伐强度(20%、30%、40%)处理泛化种较其他处理明显增多。各多样性指数随间伐强度增高呈现先增后降的变化趋势,草本植物较灌木的分异性更强,且各指数与土壤含水量均呈显著正相关。间伐强度与土壤理化性质对群落分异解释量为81%,中等间伐强度林下植被群落除全磷外与其他因子表现出正相关关系。间伐初期草本植物群落较灌木群落更能积极响应干扰;40%间伐强度处理与土壤环境因子关系紧密,群落稳定性高,物种最为丰富,为本试验条件下间伐措施的最佳处理。     

间伐对杉木不同根序细根形态、生物量和氮含量的影响

以25年生的杉木人工林为对象,研究了间伐对杉木1～5级根的生物量、形态和氮含量的影响.结果表明:随着根序的增加,杉木细根的生物量、直径和组织密度(RTD)显著增加,而比根长(SRL)、根长密度(RLD)和根数(RN)显著降低.间伐显著提高了1～2级根的生物量、RLD和RN,以及1级和3～5级根的RTD,而对细根的SRL和氮含量无影响;1级和3～4级根的直径显著减小;表层(0～10 cm)土壤中的2级根直径明显小于亚表层(10～20 cm)土壤,而1～3级根的RLD和1～2级根的RN和氮含量均大于亚表层土壤.间伐和土层的相互作用仅使1～2级根的直径减小.杉木细根的变化主要与间伐后的植被生长及更新密切相关.     

干扰树间伐对杉木人工林林分生长和林分结构的影响

在浙江临安选择26年生杉木人工林进行干扰树间伐,以不间伐为对照,间伐3 a后,研究干扰树间伐对林分生长和林分结构的影响.结果表明:间伐3 a后,间伐林分单木平均胸径和单株平均材积生长量均显著高于对照,分别是对照林分的1.30和1.25倍;目标树的胸径和单株材积生长量均显著高于间伐林分一般树以及对照林分目标树和一般树,表明不同保留木对间伐的响应不一致.间伐后目标树的平均最近距离显著增加,生长空间较一般树明显扩大,目标树竞争压力释放显著,仅为间伐前的68.2%.间伐林分的林木株数仅为对照林分的81.5%,但蓄积生长量两者无显著差异.间伐3 a后,间伐林分14 cm径阶及以上林木株数提高了18.0%,显著高于对照林分的12.0%,表明干扰树间伐有利于较大径阶林木的生产.林木总体分布格局趋向于随机分布,符合林木分布格局随生长变化的一般性规律.干扰树间伐促进了杉木人工林的林分生长,优化了林分结构,有利于目标树的持续快速生长和较大径级林木的生产.     

间伐强度对辽东落叶松人工林土壤理化性质的影响

以辽东山区日本落叶松(Larix kaempferi)人工林为研究对象,采集不同间伐强度(对照、20%、30%和40%)落叶松林的0~10 cm(表层)和10~20 cm(下层)土壤,研究不同间伐强度处理5年后落叶松林土壤理化性质的变化特征。结果表明,间伐5年后,各间伐强度落叶松林土壤容重、总孔隙度、毛管孔隙度、全碳、全氮、C∶N、N∶P以及NO3--N含量与对照之间差异性均不显著,但高强度间伐(40%强度)处理的落叶松林表层土壤田间持水量、全碳、全氮、N∶P及活性碳含量显著高于中度和强度间伐处理,且高强度间伐处理更有利于大径材培育。因此,对于辽东山区日本落叶松人工林经营管理,其间伐强度为40%时更合理。     

间伐对华北落叶松人工林土壤活性有机碳含量及酶活性的影响

本研究以太岳山华北落叶松人工林为对象,研究间伐对土壤活性有机碳及相关土壤酶活性的影响.结果表明: 随着土壤深度的增加,土壤活性有机碳含量、土壤氮含量和酶活性降低;同一土层中,中度间伐下土壤碳、氮养分含量显著增加.在0～10 cm土层,轻度间伐处理下蔗糖酶和过氧化物酶活性显著增加,中度间伐处理下多酚氧化酶和脲酶活性显著增加;在10～50 cm土层,轻度间伐处理下蔗糖酶和脲酶活性降低,中度间伐处理下纤维素酶活性显著降低;冗余分析显示,溶解性有机碳在0～10和20～30 cm土层是影响土壤酶活性的主要因素;在10～20 cm土层中,土壤有机碳是影响多酚氧化酶和蔗糖酶的主要因素;在30～40 cm土层,微生物生物量氮主要影响多酚氧化酶、过氧化物酶和脲酶活性,土壤全磷和易氧化有机碳对40～50 cm土层土壤酶活性起着重要的作用.间伐对华北落叶松人工林土壤活性有机碳含量和土壤酶活性有显著影响,中度间伐处理下土壤养分含量总体最高,土壤pH、含水率、有机质含量等化学性质优于其他几种处理,能较好地改善林下植被、枯落物及养分循环过程.因此,建议对落叶松人工林进行适度密度调整(1404～1422 trees·hm^-2),以促进碳、氮养分在土壤中的固存.     

不同光照条件对菹草外部形态与内部结构的影响

通过受控试验,研究了4个光照处理(100%、50%、20%、10%的自然光)对菹草(Potamogeton crispus)外部形态与内部结构的影响.结果显示:(1)100%和50%自然光处理对菹草的总生物量影响不显著,20%和10%的自然光显著降低了菹草的总生物量.(2)在生物量分配方面,50%自然光处理的根冠比值显著低于其他3个处理组,表现出菹草对地上部分茎叶生物量的投资较多.(3)在50%自然光条件下,菹草的株高、植株叶片数、顶枝叶片数明显高于其他3个处理组的对应参数,说明适当的遮荫会促进菹草植株的生长;10%自然光下的各参数值均最小(除根/冠比值),表明已较严重地限制了菹草的正常生长.(4)20%和10%自然光的遮光处理增加了菹草的叶片厚度,100%、50%、20%和10%的自然光下分别为0.260、0.297、0.440、 0.306 mm.(5)100%自然光叶片的叶肉细胞没有形成发达通气组织,50%自然光的菹草叶肉细胞开始形成较发达的通气组织,通气组织中间隔分布有单层细胞组成的隔膜,20%和10%自然光的叶片中隔膜细胞破裂,形成了发达的通气组织;20%和10%自然光的叶片通气组织细胞面积显著大于100%和50%自然光处理组,均值分别为0.558 mm2、 0.284 mm2和0.108 mm2、 0.087 mm2.(6)20%自然光处理组根的表皮细胞中可以发现四端尖锐晶体存在,表明植物生长受到一定程度胁迫;50%自然光处理的根通气组织彼此相连,形成大的通气结构,而其它处理组皮层没有形成通气结构.综合上述研究结果表明,50%自然光处理较有利于菹草的生长发育.

Evaluation of ACQ-D treated Chinese fir and Mongolian Scots pine with different post-treatments after 20 months of exposure

The field test of alkaline copper quat-type D (ACQ-D) treated Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata Hook.) and Mongolian Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris Linn. var. mongolica Litv.) stakes after different post-treatments was performed in two test plots (Chengdu and Guangzhou, China). The ACQ-D treatments used two concentration levels (0.5 and 1.1%) and four different post-treatments: air drying for 1 month (AD), conditioning at 70 °C and 80% relative humidity for 24 h (HC), oven drying at 110 °C for 24 h (DO) and boiling in water for 15 h (HW). The decay and termite ratings of the stakes after 6 and 20 months of exposure were recorded according to the method described in AWPA standard E07-07. The copper retention and compression strength parallel to grain before and after exposure were also compared. The results showed that Chinese fir had slightly better natural durability than Mongolian Scots pine but the untreated sapwood stakes for both wood species were mostly destroyed after 20 months exposure. After ACQ-D treatment, the sapwood of both wood species showed much better biological performance. Among the four post-treatments, HC exhibited the best performance by showing excellent biological resistance, less copper depletion and a slight reduction in compression strength after 20 months outdoor exposure. While the performance of the other post-treated stakes were impaired heavily in some cases in terms of wood species, test plots and the concentration levels of ACQ-D solutions. Furthermore, the study confirms that ACQ-D treated plantation-grown Chinese fir could be used for outdoor above ground and ground-contact applications.

A role for the interleukin-1 receptor in the pathway linking static mechanical compression to decreased proteoglycan synthesis in surface articular cartilage

Loading of articular cartilage during weight bearing is essential for the maintenance of cartilage function. Although certain cyclic loading protocols stimulate extracellular matrix synthesis, constant or static compression decreases proteoglycan and collagen synthesis in cartilage explants. The goal of this study was to determine whether the compression-induced decrease in proteoglycan synthesis involves an interleukin-1 (IL-1) signaling pathway. Cartilage explants were compressed 50% in the presence of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra), and the incorporation of [35S]sulfate into macromolecules was measured. IL-1ra increased sulfate incorporation in compressed cartilage but not in cartilage maintained at the in situ thickness (0% compression). IL-1alpha and IL-1beta mRNAs were detected in cartilage compressed 50% for at least 3h, while nitric oxide synthase II mRNA was only detected in cartilage compressed 50% for 6h. The data support a role for the IL-1 receptor in the pathway linking static compression to reduced proteoglycan synthesis.     

Global warming potentials of stemwood used for energy and materials in Southern Finland: differentiation of impacts based on type of harvest and product lifetime

Wood harvesting in boreal forests typically consists of sequential harvesting operations within a rotation: a few thinnings and a final felling. The aim of this paper is to model differentiated relative global warming potential (GWP) coefficients for stemwood use from different thinnings and final fellings, and correction factors for long‐lived wood products, potentially applicable in life cycle assessment studies. All thinnings and final fellings influence the development of forest carbon stocks. The climate impact of a single harvesting operation is generated in comparison with no harvesting, thus encountering a methodological problem on how to handle the subsequent operations. The dynamic forest stand simulator MOTTI was applied in the modelling of evolution of forest carbon stocks at landscape level in Southern Finland. The landscape‐level approach for climate impact assessment gave results similar to some stand‐level approaches presented in previous literature that included the same forest C pools and also studied the impacts relative to the no‐harvest situation. The climate impacts of stemwood use decreased over time. For energy use, the impacts were higher or similar in the short term and 0–50% lower in the midterm in comparison with an identical amount of fossil CO₂. The impacts were to some extent (approximately 20–40%) lower for wood from intermediate thinnings than for wood from final fellings or first thinnings. However, the study reveals that product lifetime has higher relative influence on the climate impacts of wood‐based value chains than whether the stemwood originates from thinnings or final fellings. Although the evolution of future C stocks in unmanaged boreal forests is uncertain, a sensitivity analysis suggests that landscape‐level model results for climate impacts would not be sensitive to the assumptions made on the future evolution of C stocks in unmanaged forest. Energy use of boreal stemwood seems to be far from climate neutral.     

Preparation of biodegradable microspheres and matrix devices containing naltrexone

In this study, the use of biodegradable polymers for microencapsulation of naltrexone using solvent evaporation technique is investigated. The use of naltrexone microspheres for the preparation of matrix devices is also studied. For this purpose, poly(L-lactide) (PLA) microspheres containing naltrexone prepared by solvent evaporation technique were compressed at temperatures above the Tg of the polymer. The effect of different process parameters, such as drug/polymer ratio and stirring rate during preparation of microspheres, on the morphology, size distribution, and in vitro drug release of microspheres was studied. As expected, stirring rate influenced particle size distribution of microspheres and hence drug release profiles. By increasing the stirring speed from 400 to 1200 rpm, the mean diameter of microspheres decreased from 251 μm to 104 μm. The drug release rate from smaller microspheres was faster than from larger microspheres. However, drug release from microspheres with low drug content (20% wt/wt) was not affected by the particle size of microspheres. Increasing the drug content of microspheres from 20% to 50% wt/wt led to significantly faster drug release from microspheres. It was also shown that drug release from matrix devices prepared by compression of naltrexone microspheres is much slower than that of microspheres. No burst release was observed with matrix devices. Applying higher compression force, when compressing microspheres to produce tablets, resulted in lower drug release from matrix devices. The results suggest that by regulating different variables, desired release profiles of naltrexone can be achieved using a PLA microparticulate system or matrix devices.     

A new method for vulnerability analysis of small xylem areas reveals that compression wood of Norway spruce has lower hydraulic safety than opposite wood

Compression wood is formed at the underside of conifer twigs to keep branches at their equilibrium position. It differs from opposite wood anatomically and subsequently in its mechanical and hydraulic properties. The specific hydraulic conductivity (k_s) and vulnerability to drought‐induced embolism (loss of conductivity versus water potential ψ) in twigs of Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] were studied via cryo‐scanning electron microscope observations, dye experiments and a newly developed ‘Micro‐Sperry’ apparatus. This new technique enabled conductivity measurements in small xylem areas by insertion of syringe cannulas into twig samples. The hydraulic properties were related to anatomical parameters (tracheid diameter, wall thickness). Compression wood exhibited 79% lower k_s than opposite wood corresponding to smaller tracheid diameters. Vulnerability was higher in compression wood despite its narrower tracheids and thicker cell walls. The P₅₀ (ψ at 50% loss of conductivity) was ?3.6 MPa in opposite but only ?3.2 MPa in compression wood. Low hydraulic efficiency and low hydraulic safety indicate that compression wood has primarily a mechanical function.

The underestimation of Young's modulus in compressive testing of cancellous bone specimens

In order to determine the accuracy of measurements of Young's modulus of cancellous bone by conventional compression testing, two independent strain measurements were made simultaneously during non-destructive uniaxial compression to 0.8% strain of rectangular specimens (n = 18). Strain was measured by an extensometer attached to the compression anvils close to the specimen and by an optical system covering the central half of the specimens. Mean Young's modulus determined by the extensometer technique was 689 MPa, but was 871 MPa when determined by the optical technique (mean difference = 182 MPa, SED = 50 MPa, p less than 0.002). Uneven strain distribution due to lack of support of cut vertical trabeculae at the anvil-specimen interface is believed to be causing the underestimation of Young's modulus measured by the extensometer technique. The influence of friction at the specimen-anvil interface was studied by performing a finite element analysis. It is concluded that Young's modulus of specimens of the chosen geometry on average is underestimated by about 20% by conventional compressing testing. The underestimation seems not to be dependent upon specimen density.     

Bioresistance of poplar wood compressed by combined hydro-thermo-mechanical wood modification (CHTM): Soft rot and brown-rot

This work studied fungal bioresistance of combined hydro-thermo-mechanically modified (CHTM) poplar wood. The CHTM technique, introduced by Mohebby et al. (2009), is a combination of two wood modification techniques-hydrothermal wood modification and densification of wood. Blocks of poplar wood were initially treated hydrothermally at temperatures of 120, 150, and 180 °C for holding times of 0, 30, and 90 min. Afterwards, the treated blocks were compressed by a hot press (160 and 180 °C) for 20 min with a compression set of 60%. After the CHTM-treated blocks were dried, small specimens were cut for soft-rot and brown-rot decay tests according to ENV 807 and EN 113. Mass losses as well as metabolic moisture contents were determined in the decayed samples. Results revealed that the combination of wood modification techniques showed fungal suppression. It was also found that the hydrothermal treatment step could significantly reduce fungal attack in comparison with densification. Reduction of the mass losses was associated with the hydrothermal treatment temperature. Also, the level of metabolic moisture content was correlated with the mass losses for both fungi. Any reduction of the mass loss decreased the moisture content in the wood.
