延河流域不同植被带植物功能性状变化及其对环境因子的响应

植物功能性状是表征植物对环境差异的适应性及植物内功能的进化与平衡关系的重要属性,功能性状-环境条件相互关系对于探讨植被对多变生境的适应策略具有重要意义。对黄土丘陵区延河流域3个生物地理气候区（草原区、森林草原区和森林区）进行分层采样,通过野外试验测定植物群落功能性状和土壤理化性质,结合气象数据分析了植物功能性状沿植被带的变化及其对环境变化的响应。研究结果如下：（1）比叶面积（SLA）、叶氮含量（LNC）、叶氮磷比（LN/LP）、根碳含量（RCC）、根碳氮比（RC/RN）和根氮磷比（RN/RP）从草原区到森林区显著上升,而叶组织密度（LTD）、叶碳氮比（LC/LN）和比根长（SRL）显著下降。森林草原区的植物磷含量显著高于森林区和草原区。（2）水分条件是调节植物群落功能性状变异的最主要因素,其能够直接影响叶和根性状,还会通过影响土壤养分和土壤水分间接作用于叶片功能性状。（3）从草原区至森林区,随着养分和水分可获取性的升高,植物群落会通过增大SLA,降低LTD和SRL以提高对干旱贫瘠立地条件的适应能力。氮（N）是草原区植物生长主要限制元素,而森林草原区则同时受到N、磷（P）的限制。     

黄土丘陵区植被与地形特征对土壤和土壤微生物生物量生态化学计量特征的影响

研究黄土丘陵区植被与地形特征对土壤和土壤微生物生物量生态化学计量特征影响有助于深入理解黄土丘陵区不同植被带下土壤和土壤微生物相互作用及养分循环规律.选择黄土丘陵区延河流域3个植被区(森林区、森林草原区、草原区)和5种地形部位(阴/阳沟坡、阴/阳梁峁坡、峁顶)的土壤作为研究对象,利用生态化学计量学理论研究植被和地形对土壤和土壤微生物生物量生态化学计量特征的影响.结果表明: 土壤及土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷含量在不同地形之间的差别主要表现在沟坡位置和阴坡高于其他坡位和阳坡.植被类型的变化对两个土层(0～10、10～20 cm)土壤和土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷的影响均达到显著水平,坡向对表层(0～10 cm)土壤和土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷的影响强于坡位,而在10～20 cm土层,坡位对土壤和土壤微生物生物量碳、氮、磷影响更显著.植被类型显著影响土壤C∶N、C∶P、N∶P和土壤微生物生物量C∶N、C∶P,坡向和坡位仅影响土壤C∶P和N∶P,植被类型的变化是影响土壤C∶N的主要因素.同时,植被类型对土壤养分和微生物生物量碳、氮、磷含量及其生态化学计量特征的影响大于地形因子.标准化主轴分析结果表明,黄土丘陵区不同植被带土壤微生物具有内稳性,特别在草原带,土壤微生物生物量生态化学计量学特征具有更加严格的约束比例.在黄土丘陵区,土壤微生物生物量N∶P或许可以作为判断养分限制的另一个有力工具,若将土壤微生物生物量N∶P与植物叶片N∶P配合使用可能有助于我们更加精确地判断黄土丘陵区的土壤养分限制情况.

西南喀斯特典型石漠化生态系统土壤养分生态化学计量特征及其影响因素

喀斯特石漠化生态系统土壤养分元素生态化学计量特征及其对环境变异的生态响应是喀斯特退化森林生态系统恢复重建必需明确的关键科学问题。为探明喀斯特石漠化土壤C、N、P、K养分元素生态化学计量特征,探讨其对环境因子的响应,对西南喀斯特3个典型石漠化调查点(贵州毕节鸭池、清镇红枫湖和关岭-贞丰花江) 90个样方土壤及环境因子调查取样,研究了其土壤有机碳(C)、全氮(N)、全磷(P)及全钾(K)的化学计量特征及其影响因素。结果表明:西南喀斯特典型石漠化生态系统土壤C、N、P、K平均含量分别为45.61、2.54、0.79 g/kg和3.33 g/kg,计量比C∶N、C∶P、C∶K、N∶P、N∶K、P∶K平均值分别为19.56、65.07、23.65、3.45、1.32和0.39。4个土壤养分元素中,K元素表现明显高于其他元素的波动性。土壤养分含量及化学计量比在不同调查点、石漠化等级及植被覆盖率环境均有显著差异。无石漠化环境土壤养分C、N、P含量显著大于潜在、轻度、中度和强度石漠化,而强度石漠化环境土壤养分K含量却显著高于其他等级石漠化。土壤养分含量之间及其与化学计量比之间多具有显著的非线性相关关系。降水、温度、岩石裸露率和土地覆被是西南喀斯特石漠化生态系统土壤养分及其化学计量比最主要的影响因素。研究结果对丰富土壤生态化学计量学科学理论和我国西南喀斯特石漠化退化植被科学恢复具有重要意义。     

沙化草地土壤碳氮磷化学计量特征及其对植被生产力和多样性的影响

沙化草地土壤碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)化学计量特征及其对植被生产力与多样性的影响对于认识草地沙漠化过程中土壤与植被的互馈关系,以及沙漠化发展的生态学机理具有重要的意义。通过对科尔沁沙地75个沙化样地的野外调查,研究了科尔沁沙地不同程度沙化草地的表层土壤C、N、P化学计量特征及其与生产力和多样性的相关关系。结果表明:1)科尔沁沙地沙化草地表层土壤具有较低的有机C、全N、全P含量及C∶N、N∶P和C∶P,平均值分别为1.39 mg/g、0.117 mg/g、0.079 mg/g和7.50、2.22、16.91;草地沙漠化过程中,土壤有机C、全N、全P含量显著降低的同时,C∶N、N∶P和C∶P亦显著降低,表明土壤有机C、全N、全P在沙漠化过程中的损失是不同步的;2)科尔沁沙地沙化草地表层土壤有机C、全N、全P元素间均呈显著正相关,具有一定的耦合关系,且土壤有机C和全P间的耦合关系不随沙漠化的发展而发生改变;3)草地沙化过程中,土壤养分的损失限制着草地生产力,而土壤N∶P较全N、全P含量更能反映土壤养分对生产力的限制作用;4)沙化草地土壤全N含量与物种丰富度间具有显著正相关关系,而土壤全P含量与其无显著相关性;多样性指数与全N、全P含量间均具有显著正相关关系;相对于土壤全N、全P含量,N∶P能更好地反映养分平衡对物种多样性的影响作用。     

祁连山5种典型灌丛土壤生态化学计量特征

土壤C、N、P生态化学计量特征是体现生态系统变化过程的重要依据。该研究以分布于祁连山北麓中段的甘青锦鸡儿、鲜黄小檗、金露梅、鬼箭锦鸡儿、吉拉柳等5种典型灌丛群落为研究对象,通过野外调查采样,测定土壤有机C、N、P含量,分析了不同灌丛群落土壤C、N、P含量及其生态化学计量比的垂直分布特征,并探讨了各指标间的耦合关系,为祁连山地区土壤-植物养分关系及退化植被恢复与重建提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)祁连山北麓中段5种灌丛群落土壤有机C(45.29 g/kg)、全N(3.85 g/kg)、全P含量(0.70 g/kg)较高,均高于全国平均水平。(2)相关性分析表明,土壤有机C与全N之间呈极显著正相关(P0.01),但土壤有机C与全P以及全N与全P之间没有明显的相关性,且土壤C、N含量变化几乎完全同步。(3)各灌丛类型土壤有机C、全N含量均表现为表层高于下层,而全P含量土层间差异不显著;各灌丛群落土壤有机C、全N含量均随土层加深呈现"倒金字塔"的分布格局,但不同灌丛类型全P含量随土层加深的变化规律却不一致,且土层对全P含量的影响不显著。(4)5种灌丛群落土壤整体C∶N、C∶P、N∶P(11.29、66.99、5.67)均低于全国平均水平,各灌丛群落土壤C∶P、N∶P随土层加深均呈不同程度的下降趋势,但不同灌丛群落土壤C∶N随土层加深的变化规律有所不同。(5)土壤有机C、全N与C∶N、C∶P、N∶P之间均具有极显著的二次函数关系(P0.01),土壤全P与C∶N、C∶P、N∶P之间关系不显著。研究认为,祁连山北麓中段土壤C∶N和P含量的稳定性较高(CV=3.99%和2.66%),C∶P、N∶P是判断研究区限制性养分的重要指标,祁连山北麓中段灌丛群落土壤主要受N素的限制。     

黄土丘陵区草本植物叶片与枯落物生态化学计量学特征

以黄土高原延河流域森林、森林草原和草原3个植被区的4种典型草本植物达乌里胡枝子、长芒草、铁杆蒿、茭蒿的叶片和枯落物为对象,测定叶片和枯落物中碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)、钾(K)含量及其比值,分析草本植物在该区域的养分限制及再吸收规律.结果表明: 4种植物叶片N/P均小于14,生长主要受氮元素含量限制;除达乌里胡枝子外,其他3种植物N、P、K的养分再吸收效率平均值分别为48.7%、32.5%、79.9%.茭蒿和铁杆蒿较高的N、P、K养分再吸收效率和叶片K含量有助于其在水分竞争中占据优势.铁杆蒿枯落物的C/N显著低于长芒草和茭蒿的枯落物,因而更易分解和进行养分循环.这可能是铁杆蒿在3个植被区分布广泛的原因之一.     

三峡库区消落带4种典型草本植物的生态化学计量特征

为研究三峡水库消落带优势植物的养分利用特征及其对生境的适应策略,选择消落带分布最多的4种草本植物为研究对象,分析了植物根、茎、叶的碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)、钾(K)含量和化学计量比特征。结果表明:(1)相比陆地系统和自然湿地系统,消落带植物具有较低的C含量和较高的N、P、K含量,C/N、C/P、C/K均较低,表明植物具有低固碳和高养分积累、低养分利用效率和高生长速率的特征;(2)4种植物的养分含量和计量比存在一定差异,其中狗牙根具有较低的N、P、K含量和较高的C/N、C/P、C/K,且变异系数均低于其他3种植物,其低养分需求、高养分利用效率以及较强的内稳性可能是其在库区分布最广的重要机制;(3)4种植物在不同器官的养分分配策略相似,均表现为叶片C含量低于根和茎,而N、P、K含量则显著高于根、茎;同时,与根、茎相比,叶片C/N、C/P、C/K较低,N/P、N/K较高,且在不同生境条件下变异系数较小,表现出相对较高的稳定性;(4)落消带植物的养分含量及计量比从全库区上游至下游的空间变异性较强,其中N、C/N、N/P变异性较大,而C、P、K变异性较小,表明植物N含量受生境变化的影响较大,加之消落带不同植物生长均受到严格的N限制,因此N供给可能是影响消落带生态系统结构的重要因子。三峡库区消落带植物生态化学计量特征具有明显的变异性和特殊性,是植物群落演替及生态系统功能变化的重要驱动因素。     

喀斯特峰丛洼地植被演替过程中土壤养分的积累及影响因素

以桂西北环江县典型喀斯特峰丛洼地为对象,利用空间代替时间的方法,于2009年分析了植被演替过程中表层土壤(0～15 em)养分的变化及其主要控制因素.结果表明:随着植被正向演替(草地-灌丛-次生林-原生林),表层土壤的有机碳、全氮和全磷等含量显著增加,分别由演替初期(草地)的29.1、2.48和0.72 g·kg-1增加为演替后期(原生林)的73.9、8.10和1.6g·kg-1.土壤阳离子交换量与有机碳和全氮密切相关,是喀斯特土壤C、N积累的主要控制因素;凋落物中的P含量、C/P和N/P是土壤全磷积累的主要控制因素,较高的凋落物P含量、N/P以及较低的C/P有利于土壤中P的积累;而坡度、坡向和裸岩率等地形因子对土壤养分的影响较小.

采集浙江省龙游县境内毛竹林地不同坡向(阴坡和阳坡)的土壤样品进行对比分析,研究坡向对毛竹林地土壤养分及其生态化学计量特征的影响.结果表明: 土壤养分受坡向和土层深度的影响,采样区内土壤的养分水平呈阴坡＞阳坡、表层土壤＞底层土壤的变化趋势.阴坡土壤的阳离子交换量、总有机碳、全氮、碱解氮、速效磷、全钾和速效钾含量显著高于阳坡,分别高43.7%、103.8%、92.0%、75.5%、22.4%、89.4%和240.7%,而阴坡和阳坡土壤的全磷含量并无显著性差异.0～20 cm、20～40 cm和40～60 cm 3个土层中,无论是阴坡还是阳坡,其土壤C/N差异均不显著,而阴坡土壤C/P显著高于阳坡,分别高180.8%、42.0%和54.3%;各土层中,阴坡和阳坡土壤的C/K和N/K之间的差异不显著,而阴坡和阳坡土壤的C/K和N/K在3个土层间存在极显著性差异.采样区域内阴坡土壤有机碳与全氮、全磷和全钾之间呈极显著的正相关关系,并且与各速效养分间也均呈极显著的正相关关系.总体而言,毛竹林阴坡的土壤养分及其生态化学计量特征优于阳坡.     

基于“三类分区框架”的黄河流域生物多样性保护策略

Chitotriosidase,a prematurely orphan enzyme

Human Chitotriosidase (CHIT) is a member of the chitinase family and is synthesized by activated macrophages. Recently, a genetic polymorphism was found to be responsible for the common deficiency in CHIT activity, frequently encountered in different population. We analyzed the CHIT gene in some ethnic groups from Mediterranean and frican area, to evaluate whether the CHIT gene polymorphism correlates with the changes in environmental features and the disappearance of parasitic diseases. We evaluate the plasma CHIT activity and analyzed, by PCR, the Chit gene polymorphism in 100 Sicilian, 107 Sardinian and 99 Sub-Saharan subjects. We found an heterozygote frequency for a duplication of 24 base pair in exon 10 of 44,54% in Sicily and 32,71 % in Sardinia, whereas homozygous chit deficient were 5,45 % and 3,73%, respectively. On the contrary in Burkina Faso, a mesoendemic regio nforPlasmodium falciparum malaria and other intestinal parasites, a low incidence of CHIT mutation was found (heterozygous 2%) and any subject was homozygous for CHIT deficiency. Our results suggest that in sub-Saharan population the intact CHIT gene seems essential for sustaining resistance against chitin-coated parasitic disease, whereas the presence of CHIT gene polymorphism in Mediterranean population could be the result of a recent positive selection due to improved environmental conditions, which makes prematurely orphan this enzyme.     

Morphological patterns of the intraparietal sulcus and the anterior intermediate parietal sulcus of Jensen in the human brain

Distinct parts of the intraparietal sulcal cortex contribute to sensorimotor integration and visual spatial attentional processing. A detailed examination of the morphological relations of the different segments of the complex intraparietal sulcal region in the human brain in standard stereotaxic space, which is a prerequisite for detailed structure-to-function studies, is not available. This study examined the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) and the related sulcus of Jensen in magnetic resonance imaging brain volumes registered in the Montreal Neurological Institute stereotaxic space. It was demonstrated that the IPS is divided into two branches: the anterior ramus and the posterior ramus of the IPS, often separated by a submerged gyral passage. The sulcus of Jensen emerges between the anterior and posterior rami of the IPS, and its ventral end is positioned between the first and second caudal branches of the superior temporal sulcus. In a small number of brains, the sulcus of Jensen may merge superficially with the first caudal branch of the superior temporal sulcus. The above morphological findings are discussed in relation to previously reported functional neuroimaging findings and provide the basis for future exploration of structure-to-function relations in the posterior parietal region of individual subjects.

Relationships between foliage and conducting xylem in Picea abies (L.) Karst.

Summary The relationship of leaf biomass and leaf area to the conductive area of stems and branches was investigated in Picea abies. A total of 30 trees were harvested to determine if these relationships were different in different crown zones and in trees growing with and without competition for light. Two methods were compared. In the first, data were accumulated from crown zones situated at the top of trees to the bottom; in the second, data were used from individual crown zones. The results indicated that the latter method is much more sensitive in detecting differences in the relationship of leaf biomass or leaf area to conductive area. The analysis also indicated that ratios such as leaf area/sapwood area are frequently size-dependent. This size-dependency can in some cases result in the differences being abscured, but more often leads to the false impression that the relationship between the variables changes. The relationship between leaf biomass and leaf area and conductive area of stems or branches was different in different crown zones and under different growth conditions. The slopes of these regressions appear to increase with decreasing transpirational demand and decrease with increasing hydraulic conductivity. The intercepts are probably related to the amount of identified sapwood actually involved in water conductance.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Picea</Emphasis> seedlings show apparent acclimation to drought with increasing altitude in the eastern Himalaya

Abstract We measured plant structural and physiological responses of two sympatric Picea species, Picea likiangensis (Franchet) E. Pritzel var. balfouriana and Picea asperata Masters var. retroflexa to altitude close to the treeline in the eastern Himalaya. Most measured tree characteristics differed between different altitudes, between different ages, and between shaded and un-shaded treatments. Both P. likiangensis and P. asperata had lower foliage area/stem cross-sectional area ratios, smaller specific leaf areas, higher root mass/foliage area ratios, and less negative ¹³C at 3,900 m than at 3,600 m altitude, and in the un-shaded treatment than in the shaded treatment. The 7- and 9-year-old seedlings also showed lower foliage area/stem cross-sectional area ratios, higher root mass/foliage area ratios and less negative ¹³C than younger seedlings. Shading resulted in an increase of biomass accumulation at all altitudes. A close relationship, independent of altitude, was observed between ¹³C and specific leaf area, suggesting that internal resistance could limit CO₂ diffusion to the site of carboxylation. The results indicate that, in spite of greater water availability, trees at higher altitudes show quite a number of apparent acclimations to drought.     

Allometric co-variation of xylem and stomata across diverse woody seedlings

Leaf stomatal density is known to co-vary with leaf vein density. However, the functional underpinning of this relation, and how it scales to whole-plant water transport anatomy, is still unresolved. We hypothesized that the balance of water exchange between the vapour phase (in stomata) and liquid phase (in vessels) depends on the consistent scaling between the summed stomatal areas and xylem cross-sectional areas, both at the whole-plant and single-leaf level. This predicted size co-variation should be driven by the co-variation of numbers of stomata and terminal vessels. We examined the relationships of stomatal traits and xylem anatomical traits from the entire plant to individual leaves across seedlings of 53 European woody angiosperm species. There was strong and convergent scaling between total stomatal area and stem xylem area per plant and between leaf total stomatal area and midvein xylem area per leaf across all the species, irrespective of variation in leaf habit, growth-form or relative growth rate. Moreover, strong scaling was found between stomatal number and terminal vessel number, whereas not in their respective average areas. Our findings have broad implications for integrating xylem architecture and stomatal distribution and deepen our understanding of the design rules of plants' water transport network.

本文对白洋淀和太湖地区鸟类绦虫区系进行了比较研究,并对太湖鸟类绦虫区系作了初步分析。结果表明,鸟类绦虫区系分布与宿主区系分布密切相关,亲缘关系相近的宿主有许多相同的或亲缘相近的绦虫,这种现象为研究宿主与寄生虫的演化提供了可靠途径;发现鸟的越冬地绦虫种类比迁徙地种类丰富,分析其原因,除温、湿度、中间宿主等生态条件之外,与鸟的迁徙有一定关系。太湖地区的绦虫具有北方型和随遇型,亦有世界性种类和东半球广布种,提出了两地区家禽和野生鸟类所寄生的共同种类的绦虫。     

Organization of cortical processing for facial movements during licking in cats

We proposed that cortical organization for the execution of adequate licking in cats was processed under the control of two kinds of affiliated groups for face and jaw & tongue movements (Hiraba H, Sato T. 2005A. Cerebral control of face, jaw, and tongue movements in awake cats: Changes in regional cerebral blood flow during lateral feeding Somatosens Mot Res 22:307–317). We assumed the cortical organization for face movements from changes in MRN (mastication-related neuron) activities recorded at area M (motor cortex) and orofacial behaviors after the lesion in the facial SI (facial region in the primary somatosensory cortex). Although we showed the relationship between facial SI (area 3b) and area M (area 4δ), the property of area C (area 3a) was not fully described. The aim of this present study is to investigate the functional role of area C (the anterior part of the coronal sulcus) that transfers somatosensory information in facial SI to area M, as shown in a previous paper (Hiraba H. 2004. The function of sensory information from the first somatosensory cortex for facial movements during ingestion in cats Somatosens Mot Res 21:87--97). We examined the properties of MRNs in area C and changes in orofacial behaviors after the area C or area M lesion. MRNs in area C had in common RFs in the lingual, perioral, and mandibular parts, and activity patterns of MRNs showed both post- and pre-movement types. Furthermore, cats with the area C lesion showed similar disorders to cats with the area M lesion, such as the dropping of food from the contralateral mouth, prolongation of the period of ingestion and mastication, and so on. From these results, we believe firmly the organization of unilateral cortical processing in facial SI, area C, and area M for face movements during licking.
