稳定同位素技术在植物水分利用研究中的应用

近20a稳定同位素技术在植物生态学研究中的应用得到了长足发展,使得对植物与水分关系也有了更深一步的了解。介绍稳定同位素性碳、氢、氧同位素在研究植物水分关系中的应用及进展,以期能为国内植物水分利用研究提供参考。由于植物根系从土壤中吸收水分时并不发生同位素分馏,对木质部水分同位素分析有助于对植物利用水分来源,生态系统中植物对水分的竞争和利用策略的研究,更好地了解生态系统结构与功能。稳定碳同位素作为植物水分利用效率的一个间接指标,在不同水分梯度环境中,及植物不同代谢产物与水分关系中有着广泛的应用。同位素在土壤-植被-大气连续体水分中的应用,有助于了解生态系统的水分平衡。随着稳定同位素方法的使用,植物与水分关系的研究将取得更大的进展。

稳定性同位素技术在生态学上的应用

稳定性同位素技术早在20世纪70年代末期就被引入到生态学领域。最初是利用植物稳定性碳同位素的差异。开展了许多有关营养流动方面的研究;到90年代,稳定性碳和氮同位素被用来分析动物的食性、营养级位置关系以及食物链结构;本世纪初,由于技术的进步,稳定性同位素(特别是氢同位素)被用来开展动物迁徙习性方面的研究。到目前为止,国内有关这方面的研究还鲜有报道,而且对自然界存在的稳定性同位素的理解还存在一定偏差。本文主要介绍了稳定性同位素效应及其分馏原理、稳定性同位素在示踪动物食性信息、确定营养级位置关系、分析食物网结构以及研究动物迁徙生态学中的作用等方面的内容。

Changes in the intramolecular stable carbon isotope ratios with age of the European cave bear (Ursus spelaeus)

Changes with age in the diet and metabolism of the extinct European cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) from the Divje Babe archaeological site in northwestern Slovenia were investigated by comparing the stable carbon isotope ratio of whole bone collagen with that of the peptide-bonded carboxyl carbons in collagen. These carboxyl carbons were selectively released by decarboxylation of the collagen hydrolysate with ninhydrin (2,2-dihydroxy-1,3-indanedione). The stable carbon isotope ratio increased with age for both the peptide-bonded and other carbons. Although only one-third of the carbon atoms in collagen are peptide-bonded, they account for most of the observed change with age of the stable carbon isotope ratio of the whole collagen. Stable nitrogen isotope ratios decreased with age and were negatively correlated with changes in the stable carbon isotope ratios. These observations support previous investigations on the unique metabolism of hibernating bears.     

Stable Isotope Analysis in Primatology: A Critical Review

Stable isotope analysis has become an important tool in ecology over the last 25 years. A wealth of ecological information is stored in animal tissues in the relative abundances of the stable isotopes of several elements, particularly carbon and nitrogen, because these isotopes navigate through ecological processes in predictable ways. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes have been measured in most primate taxonomic groups and have yielded information about dietary content, dietary variability, and habitat use. Stable isotopes have recently proven useful for addressing more fine‐grained questions about niche dynamics and anthropogenic effects on feeding ecology. Here, we discuss stable carbon and nitrogen isotope systematics and critically review the published stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data for modern primates with a focus on the problems and prospects for future stable isotope applications in primatology.

Carbon isotopes in functional soil ecology

Soil is an integral part of terrestrial ecosystems. Many soil ecologists interested in soil ecosystem functioning rely, to some degree, on stable isotope methodologies. The study of the natural abundance of carbon isotopes, especially (13)C but also (14)C, in the environment and the use of stable carbon isotope tracers have proved very useful in investigating the soil carbon cycle and soil trophic relationships. Recent methodological and technical advances have greatly extended the possibilities for the application of stable carbon isotopes to terrestrial ecology and have vastly improved our knowledge of belowground ecosystem functioning and will continue to do so. A better understanding of soil processes is invaluable in predicting the future impacts of global environmental change on terrestrial ecosystems.     

不同产地三疣梭子蟹的稳定同位素比值特征及原产地溯源

探索稳定同位素对三疣梭子蟹产地溯源的可行性,可为保护地理标志产品、追溯原产地来源提供理论依据。本研究以黄海、渤海和东海3个主产区海域的三疣梭子蟹为对象,分析了其碳、氮稳定同位素值差异性和不同组织中稳定同位素比值的相关性。结果表明: 不同产地的碳、氮稳定同位素比值有显著性差异,不同组织之间有明显的同位素分馏效应。利用建立的判别分析模型,通过三疣梭子蟹不同组织稳定同位素比值进行产地判别分析,采用肌肉和腮中碳、氮稳定同位素的产地判别正确率(>95%)明显高于肝胰性腺,说明肌肉和腮稳定同位素比值可以对不同海域的三疣梭子蟹进行有效区分。本研究填补了目前三疣梭子蟹稳定同位素溯源技术的研究空白。     

A new approach to estimating the pool of stable organic matter in soil using data from long-term field experiments

It is a necessity to have a successful method to separate, quantify and define the active and passive soil organic matter pools for appropriate verification of models. In this study, the organic carbon content of long-term bare fallow soils was used as an indicator of the size of the stable soil organic matter pool. Although soil texture and soil structure are widely accepted as having an influence on the stable pool, most soil organic models neglect the relationship between soil structure and carbon stabilization. Therefore, the aim of this presentation is to estimate the size of the stable carbon pool and to relate it to soil texture and structure properties. It was calculated that over 50 yr, under bare fallow conditions, the relative decrease in the amount of carbon (C) for the most stable pools ranged between 2 and 12%. In comparison, for the less stabilized pools the relative decrease was calculated from 50 to 100%. This indicates that the organic carbon content of long-term bare fallow soils should be very similar to the size of the most stable C pool. We also observed that the amounts of carbon associated with primary particles <20 μm for numerous soils with contrasting carbon content, soil texture, and management practices showed a lower and an upper limit. Both these limits and the carbon content of long-term bare fallow soils (which were assumed to be similar to the size of the stable pool) were related to the content of primary particles <20 μm in the soil. To calculate these relationships, an equation was used including one term to describe the influence of soil texture and another to describe that of soil structure. The calculated regression for the bare fallow soils corresponded very well to the lower limit of carbon content associated with primary particles <20 μm. The upper limit was estimated only by increasing the regression parameter which is related to the amount of C per unit primary particles <20 μm. Considering the many published results of the influence of soil texture and structure on carbon stabilization processes in soil, the stable pool may be defined as the capacity of soils to sorb C. The upper limit of carbon content associated with primary particles <20 μm may be interpreted as the capacity of soil to protect C.

蜡质标本制作与保存对沉水植物稳定同位素的影响

实验通过模拟传统方法制作和保存蜡质标本, 旨在探究制作和保存的不同阶段对3种沉水植物碳、氮稳定同位素值的影响。结果表明, 制作和保存标本的过程均会对沉水植物的碳、氮稳定同位素值产生影响。植物标本压制的过程显著降低了沉水植物平均碳稳定同位素值, 其中马来眼子菜下降了1.78‰, 穗花狐尾藻下降了0.98‰, 金鱼藻下降了0.72‰。在压制过程中氮稳定同位素值只有金鱼藻显著下降了1.1‰。沉水植物标本制作的浸泡过程使穗花狐尾藻和马来眼子菜的碳稳定同位素值分别出现了1.00‰和0.52‰的上升, 金鱼藻的碳稳定同位素值增长小于0.08‰, 氮稳定同位素值没有显著变化。沉水植物对标本制作和保存的过程响应存在种间差异。在制作和保存过程中对植物碳稳定同位素产生的影响大于氮稳定同位素值。因此建议, 如果所研究对象的稳定同位素生态学差异小于3‰, 蜡质标本的样品需要进行实验校准, 不然会对结果产生影响。     

Land‐use contrasts reveal instability of subsoil organic carbon

Subsoils contain large amounts of organic carbon which is generally believed to be highly stable when compared with surface soils. We investigated subsurface organic carbon storage and dynamics by analysing organic carbon concentrations, fractions and isotopic values in 78 samples from 12 sites under different land‐uses and climates in eastern Australia. Despite radiocarbon ages of several millennia in subsoils, contrasting native systems with agriculturally managed systems revealed that subsurface organic carbon is reactive on decadal timeframes to land‐use change, which leads to large losses of young carbon down the entire soil profile. Our results indicate that organic carbon storage in soils is input driven down the whole profile, challenging the concept of subsoils as a repository of stable organic carbon.
