We assessed the potential of using 14C contents of soil respired CO2 to calculate the contributions of heterotrophic and autotrophic respiration to total soil respiration. The partitioning of these fluxes is of utmost importance to evaluate implications of environmental change on soil carbon cycling and sequestration. At three girdled forest stands in Sweden and Germany, where the tree root (autotrophic) respiration had been eliminated, we measured both flux rates and 14C contents of soil respired CO2 in girdled and control plots in the summers of 2001 or 2002. At all stands, CO2 flux rates were slightly higher in the control plots, whereas the 14C contents of respired CO2 tended to be higher in the girdled plots. This was expected and confirmed that heterotrophically respired CO2 cycles more slowly through the forest ecosystem than autotrophically respired CO2. On the basis of these data, the contributions of hetero‐ and autotrophic respiration to total soil respiration were calculated using two separate approaches (i.e. based on flux rates or 14C). Fractions of heterotrophic respiration ranged from 53% to 87%. Values calculated by both approaches did not differ significantly from each other. Finally, we compared the 14C contents of soil respired CO2 in the girdled plots with the 14C contents of heterotrophically respired CO2 calculated by three different 14C models. None of the models matched the measured data sufficiently. In addition, we suspect that inherent effects of girdling may cause the 14C content of CO2 respired in the girdled plots to be lower than ‘true’ heterotrophically respired CO2 in an undisturbed plot. Nevertheless, we argue that measurements and modeling of 14C can be developed into a valuable tool for separating heterotrophic and autotrophic soil respiration (e.g. when girdling cannot be performed). 相似文献

Molecular study of mitochondrial and nuclear genes and cytogenetic analysis were performed to examine possible patterns of speciation in the diverse Lophuromys flavopunctatus species complex of Ethiopia. Phylogenetic analysis of mtDNA data resulted in an unresolved bush of ten deeply diverged haplotype groups corresponding to potential species either well supported by various types of character or 'cryptic'. The cytogenetic analysis showed representatives of five of these mtDNA lineages to share an identical karyotype (2 n = 70, NFa = 84), that has not been found previously in Ethiopia. One of them, L. cf. sikapusi , being a member of the L. flavopunctatus species complex, demonstrates remarkable morphological similarity to representatives of another species complex, L. sikapusi s.l ., which might be considered as a result of convergent evolution in analogous environments. Analysis of RAPD data suggests that at least two mtDNA types might have been subject to interspecific transfer due to hybridization. In the case of two sympatric haplotypes of L. brunneus we may assume that the contemporary pattern of variation between them can be explained by relatively recent hybridization with another distinct species, L. flavopunctatus . The formation of two groups belonging to distinct mitochondrial lineages within northern populations could be associated with more complex processes including ancient hybridization. © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2004, 83 , 301–316. 相似文献

1. Oxygen concentrations in shallow vegetated areas of aquatic systems can be extremely dynamic. In these waters, characterizing the average oxygen content or frequency of low oxygen events (hypoxia) may require high frequency measurements that span seasons and even years. In this study, moored sondes were used to collect 15‐min interval dissolved oxygen (DO) readings in an embayment of the tidal Hudson River with dense coverage by an invasive floating leaved plant (Trapa natans) and in adjacent open waters. Measurements were made from late spring to summer over a 2‐year period (2005, 2006). 2. Oxygen concentrations were far more dynamic in the vegetated embayment than in the adjacent open waters and while hypoxic conditions never occurred in the open waters, they occurred frequently in the vegetated site. Overall the vegetated site was hypoxic (DO < 2.5 mg L?1) 30% of the time and had an average oxygen concentration of 5.1 mg L?1. Oxygen concentration was significantly (P < 0.0001, anova ) related to season, year and tide. Low tide periods during summer of 2006 had the lowest average oxygen concentration and the highest frequency of hypoxia. 3. The greater hypoxia in summer than spring is related to changes in plant morphology. In the spring and early summer when plants are submersed hypoxia occurs at lower frequency and duration than in the summer when dense floating vegetation covers the water. The tidal pattern in oxygen is related to hydrologic exchange with the non‐vegetated open waters. Year‐to‐year variation may be related to relatively small changes in plant biomass between years. 4. Oxygen concentrations in aquatic systems can be critical to habitat quality and can have cascading impacts on redox sensitive nutrient and metal cycling. For some systems with dynamic oxygen patterns neither weekly spot sampling nor short‐duration, high‐frequency measurements may be sufficient to characterize oxygen conditions of the system. 相似文献

Summer heat waves have already resulted in mortality of coastal communities, including ecologically important seagrass meadows. Gene expression studies from controlled experiments can provide important insight as to how species/genotypes react to extreme events that will increase under global warming. In a common stress garden, we exposed three populations of eelgrass, Zostera marina, to extreme sea surface temperatures, simulating the 2003‐European heat wave. Populations came from locations widely differing in their thermal regime, two northern European locations [Ebeltoft (Kattegat), Doverodde (Limfjord, Baltic Sea)], and one southern population from Gabicce Mare (Adriatic Sea), allowing to test for population specificity in the response to a realistic heat stress event. Eelgrass survival and growth as well as the expression of 12 stress associated candidate genes were assessed during and after the heat wave. Contrary to expectations, all populations suffered equally from 3 weeks of heat stress in terms of shoot loss. In contrast, populations markedly differed in multivariate measures of gene expression. While the gene expression profiles converged to pre‐stress values directly after the heat wave, stress correlated genes were upregulated again 4 weeks later, in line with the observed delay in shoot loss. Target genes had to be selected based on functional knowledge in terrestrial plants, nevertheless, 10/12 genes were induced relative to the control treatment at least once during the heat wave in the fully marine plant Z. marina. This study underlines the importance of realistic stress and recovery scenarios in studying the impact of predicted climate change. 相似文献

Two main gangliosides (G-1 and G-2) were isolated from eggs and embryos S. intermedius . They contain glucose, N-glucolylneuraminic acids, phytosphyngosine, fatty acids and α-hydroxy fatty acids. Molar ratios and sequence of these components are the same for both gangliosides, but G-2 contains sulphate residue which is attached to the terminal neuraminic acid. To obtain specific antisera rabbits were immunized by G-1 or G-2, which were mixed with bovine serum albumin and Freund's adjuvant. Both gangliosides possessed electrophoretic and antigenic heterogeneity. G-1 and G-2 gangliosides have common and individual antigenic determinants. Glucosylceramide of gangliosides is immunologically inactive. Individual antigenic specificity of the gangliosides depends on the presence of N-glycolylneuraminic acid (G-1) and SO3 H-group (G-2). Egg gangliosides were demonstrated by immunofluorescence throughout the cell surface. After fertilization the immunofluorescent label was concentrated on one pole of the embryo only. During the development the specific fluorescence was again uniformly distributed at the blastomer surface. The most intense fluorescence was observed in the junction areas of the blastomers. 相似文献

Difference taste thresholds, expressed as jnd values or Weberratios, were determined for sucrose in water and in orange juiceat laboratories in Sweden, U.S.A., Poland and Switzerland usinga method of constant stimuli. The following total arithmeticmean values of all 172 individual jnd values were obtained:0.266 and 0.400% sucrose at 2 and 5% sucrose in water, respectively;0.977 and 1.19% sucrose at 1.5 and 3.75% sucrose in orange juice,respectively. The frequency distributions of the individualvalues were asymetrical and showed a large variation among subjects.The results of some additional experiments at 2 and 5% sucrosein orange juice, performed only by the Polish laboratory, arereported also. Significance analyses performed according to one parametricmethod (t-test), using pooled data of groups of subjects, andone non-parametric method (Mann-Whitney's U-test), using individualthreshold values, gave the same conclusion in practically allcases. The data indicated that females had slightly lower average discriminationthresholds than males. There was a significant degree of correlationbetween subjects' discriminatory ability at different concentrationsof sucrose in each of the two media. Few significant differences between the laboratories were foundfor sucrose in water, whereas for sucrose in orange juice thefollowing rank order, from lowest to highest average jnd value,among the laboratories was obtained for both concentrationstested: Poland < U.S.A. < Sweden = Switzerland. Some speculationswere advanced as partial explanation for the differences amongthe laboratories.
