云南会泽废弃铅锌矿重金属污染评价

取样测定了云南会泽废弃铅锌矿土壤和植物中重金属元素Pb、Zn、Cd的含量,并采用单因子指数法、内梅罗综合污染指数法评估了会泽县废弃铅锌矿复垦地和撂荒地土壤的重金属污染状况。结果表明：1)以《土壤环境质量标准》(GB 15618-1995)为标准,复垦地和撂荒地的土壤重金属含量均超过国家三级标准;复垦地中Cd、Zn、Pb 3种重金属的总含量分别为国家三级标准的35.0、28.0和11.3倍;撂荒地中这3种重金属总含量分别为国家三级标准的40.7、37.6和16.7倍。2)单项污染指数评价结果表明：铅锌矿废弃地污染指数为Cd>Zn>Pb,3种重金属均达到重污染级。综合污染指数评价结果显示：铅锌矿废弃地重金属污染达到重度污染等级,复垦地已不适宜耕种农作物。废弃矿山及土法冶炼后遗留的矿渣是重金属污染的主要原因。3)当地受重金属污染的土壤中仍然有生长良好的野生植物,并且有些植物种类对重金属的吸收转运能力较强,在土壤重金属污染的生物修复中有应用潜力。     

江西井冈山地区灰胸竹鸡的遗传多样性研究

灰胸竹鸡Bambusicola thoracica是我国特有鸟类.本文采用聚合链式反应和直接测序的方法测定井冈山地区灰胸竹鸡3个种群线粒体DNA(mtDNA)控制区1142 bp的序列,分析其序列变异和种群遗传多样性.30个样本共发现16个变异位点和10种单倍型,其中hapl广泛分布,占所分析样本的23.33%,是其祖先单倍型.3个种群的平均单倍型多样性和核苷酸多样性分别为0.815和0.00243.青原区种群与其它两个种群遗传分化显著,基因交流受限制.受隔离影响,青原区种群遗传多样性最低.在系统发生树上,10种单倍型形成两支,井冈山种群和永新县种群聚在一起,与其地理位置相一致.     

温度、水分和森林演替对中亚热带丘陵红壤氮素矿化影响的模拟实验

研究了温度、水分和演替阶段及其交互作用对中亚热带丘陵红壤区森林土壤氮素矿化过程及其矿化速率的影响.结果表明：温度和演替阶段对土壤氨化速率影响显著,其中12 ℃<24℃<36 ℃,灌丛林和马尾松(Pinus massoniana)林低于常绿阔叶林(P＜0.05);而水分的影响不显著.水分和演替阶段对土壤硝化速率有显著影响,土壤半饱和含水量高于自然含水量及饱和含水量,且马尾松林高于灌丛林(P＜0.05);而温度的影响不显著.温度、水分和演替阶段对土壤氮净矿化速率的影响均显著,其中12 ℃<24 ℃<36 ℃,土壤半饱和含水量高于自然含水量和饱和含水量,灌丛林<马尾松林<常绿阔叶林(P＜0.05).温度升高有利于提高土壤氨化速率和净矿化速率,温度过高则抑制土壤硝化速率;土壤含水量适中有利于土壤氮素矿化过程;顺行演替将提高土壤供氮能力,且抑制过强的硝化作用.     

黄土丘陵沟壑区农林草地土壤热量状况及植被生长响应——以燕沟流域为例

利用CoupModel模型模拟了黄土丘陵沟壑区燕沟流域刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia)林地、辽东栎(Quercus liaotungensis)林地、荒草地、农地等7种土地类型的土壤热量状况,分析了不同植被类型的潜热通量、感热通量、土壤热通量以及植被生长对土壤热量的响应.结果表明,农地潜热通量较小,林地和荒草地潜热通量较大,各地类潜热通量季节变化规律基本一致.潜热通量是黄土丘陵区土壤-植被-大气系统能量的主要支出项,占总净辐射的72.1%～81.4%以上;感热通量变化振幅相对较小,占总净辐射的16.4%～26.4%;土壤热通量仅占总净辐射的1.4%～2.4%,但直接影响土壤温度的变化速度和变化时间.试验地各地类地表温度随季节的变化趋势均呈单峰曲线型.2～7月份0～20cm平均土壤温度随累积土壤热通量的增大而升高,9月到翌年1月份0～20cm平均土壤温度随累积土壤热通量的减小而降低,但累积土壤热通量的变化滞后于土壤温度变化.同一植被类型条件下,阳坡土壤温度年变幅显著高于阴坡.在阴坡,0cm、10cm、20cm深土壤温度年变幅农地＞阴坡荒草地＞阴坡辽东栎林地＞阴坡刺槐林地;在阳坡,阳坡荒草地＞阳坡刺槐林地＞阳坡辽东栎林地.阴坡刺槐林地、阴坡荒草地和农地0～20cm土壤温度达到5℃以上的时间比阳坡刺槐林和阳坡荒草地推迟1周左右,根系开始生长活动的时间也推迟1周左右;而阴坡辽东栎林地则晚于阳坡辽东栎林地5d左右,根系开始生长活动的时间也较阳坡辽东栎林晚5d左右.出叶时间阳坡刺槐林和阳坡荒草地植物比阴坡刺槐林、阴坡荒草地和阳坡辽东栎林的早1周左右,比阴坡辽东栎林早12d左右.     

黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错区三种植被蒸散特征

利用称重式蒸渗仪结合Penman-Monteith公式研究了黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错区苜蓿、柠条和茵陈蒿3种植被不同时间尺度的蒸散特征,分析了植被株高、盖度和降水等因子对蒸散的影响并确定了作物系数(KC).结果表明:Logistic三参数模型可以较好拟合3种植被株高、盖度随时间的变化情况并确定了模型的参数.3种植被逐日蒸散变化受降水量的影响波动明显,反映了土壤水分状况控制条件下的蒸散过程.其月蒸散量的季节性差异均不明显,研究时段内总耗水量分别为苜蓿316 8mm、柠条317.7mm、茵陈蒿361.9mm,均高于同期降水量.苜蓿和茵陈蒿初期、中期和后期的KC分别为0.48、0.54、0.42和0.58、0.67、0.62,柠条初期和中期的KC为0 45、0.57,均高于当地典型农作物谷子的KC.     

黄土丘陵区草地土壤微生物C、N及呼吸熵对植被恢复的响应

以野外样地调查和室内分析法研究了黄土丘陵区不同植被恢复年限下草地土壤微生物C、N及土壤呼吸熵的变化.结果表明,土壤微生物量碳明显地随着植被恢复年限的增加而增加.在恢复前23a, 土壤微生物量碳在0～20 cm土层年增加率为24.1%;20～40 cm为104.4%.植被恢复23a后,0～20 cm土层增长率为0.83%,20～40 cm为0.19%.土壤微生物量N表现为在植被恢复的初期略有下降,3a后,开始出现明显增加.0～20 cm土层年增长率为20.14%,20～40 cm为15.11%.在植被恢复23a后,0～20 cm土层的年增长率为0.14%,20～40 cm变化不大.土壤微生物呼吸强度随着恢复年限的增加逐渐加强;土壤呼吸熵随植被封育时间的增加而呈对数降低趋势.土壤呼吸熵(qCO2)在反映土壤的生物质量变化时,显得更加稳定,受植物生长状况影响较小.相关分析表明,土壤微生物量和土壤微生物活性与土壤有机质、碱解氮和粘粒含量显著正相关;与土壤粉粒含量明显负相关;表层土壤pH值对其也有明显影响.草地植被自然恢复过程可增加土壤微生物活性,有利于土壤质量的提高.     

黄土高原子午岭油松林的种子雨和土壤种子库动态

对黄土高原区子午岭不同林龄(18a、29a、40a、54a)油松(Pinus tabulaeformis carr.)人工林及天然林(约75a)的种子雨和土壤种子库进行了研究.结果表明,该区油松种子雨一般从每年9月初开始,一直到11月底结束,种子雨降落历程与林龄大小有关,种子雨发生时间和降落高峰期有所不同.不同林龄的油松种子雨强度不同,种子雨总量大小顺序为:40a人工林((489 9±8.64)粒· m-2)＞29a人工林((346.8±7.45)粒· m-2)＞54a人工林((327.1±8.13)粒· m-2)＞天然林((146.9±5.25)粒· m-2)＞18a人工林((78.1±2.72)粒· m-2).种子雨总量随林龄的增加而增加,约40a时达到高峰,种子雨活力也以40a时最高.不同林龄油松林土壤种子库存在显著差异,其中18a人工林种子库最小,40a人工林种子库最大.从种子雨降落到次年4月,5种林分土壤种子库总量下降了42.34%～53.59%,空粒种子增加了26.72%～48.69%;从4月到8月份种子腐烂率由10.28%～13 62%增加到57.25%～63.28%.动物的搬运、取食和种子腐烂死亡是种子库损耗的主要因素.土壤种子库中的油松种子主要集中在枯枝落叶层,其次为0～2cm层,2～10cm层种子最少.到8月中旬,土壤中98.26%的油松种子都已丧失活性.不同林分下油松幼苗的密度差异较大,40a人工林下幼苗最多,其余依次为29a人工林、54a人工林和天然林,18a人工林下的实生苗极少,幼苗死亡率极高.在一定龄级范围内,人工林结实能力和更新潜力随林龄增加而增加,40a时更新潜力最大.虽然有大量种子下落,但由于种子大量损耗和幼苗死亡,通过环境筛作用而最终可以成熟的个体数量十分有限.     

Assessment of Antibacterial Activity of Solanum surrattense Against Waterborne Pathogens Isolated from Surface Drinking Water of the Potohar Region in Pakistan

People dwelling in different cities of the Potohar region, Pakistan, are mostly dependent on surface water for drinking and domestic use. In an attempt to make available potable, safe water, filtration plants were constructed along with dams in the Potohar region. Water samples from these filtration plants were collected and analyzed for total and faecal coliform bacteria as well as for total viable count. Results showed that bacterial indicators of faecal contamination were numerous and significantly greater than World Health Organization recommended guidelines. Accordingly, antibacterial activity of methanolic and aqueous extracts of different parts of Solanum surrattense were assessed in vitro against waterborne pathogens. Fruits exhibited more antibacterial activities at incubation at 37°C than shoots and roots, which showed lowest Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and zones of inhibition. These results suggest that plants offer a great potential for purification of drinking water that needs to be explored further because fruit extract of the aforementioned plant can be of practical use against waterborne pathogens.     

Distribution and abundance of meiofauna in intertidal sand substrata around Iceland

Iceland is situated in an important subarctic transition area where complex oceanographic dynamics occur. The intertidal, subtidal, and deep-sea faunal communities of Iceland are being intensively studied, as a critical resource for continued sustainability of fisheries and the preservation of northern littoral ecosystems. However, the meiofaunal communities and the environmental factors affecting them are still relatively poorly known. The meiobenthic metazoan community was studied with core sampling in 23 sandy beaches along the intertidal zone of the Iceland coast in a campaign developed in September 2003. Small-scale variation in meiofauna composition (major taxa) was explored and related to biotic and abiotic factors at different scales, such as beach exposure, granulometry, and organic matter content. Differences in meiofaunal community structure at a low taxonomic resolution appeared among beaches located within wide biogeographical zones of hydrobiological significance (NE and SW Shelf regions) and exposure degrees. Seventeen major taxa were recorded. In contrast with more local and taxon-focused studies, oligochaetes were the dominant group all around Iceland, followed by nematodes, turbellarians, gastrotrichs, and copepods (mainly harpacticoids). Acari, ascidians, bivalves, cnidarians, collembolans, gastropods, isopods, kinorhynchs, insects, nemerteans, ostracods, and polychaetes were relatively scarce groups, together being less than 1.6% of the meiofauna. There was a large variation in meiofaunal abundance between sites. Maximum abundances (>500 ind. cm^?2) were found in Sau?arkrökur, Hraunhafnartangi, and Skálaness, whereas minimum abundances (<40 ind. cm^?2) were recorded in Magnavík, Jokülsárlón (glacier beach site), Vikurnúpur, Breidalsvík, and Stokknes. We did not find a clear pattern in overall meiofaunal abundance regarding the degree of exposure of beaches. Oligochaetes, nematodes, and copepods were relatively more abundant in sheltered beaches, whereas turbellarians and gastrotrichs tended to be more abundant in exposed beaches. The best correlates of meiofaunal composition and abundance within beaches were the proportion of gravels and the content of utilizable organic matter in the sediment. We should consider factors operating at wider scales (importantly beach exposure and overall situation in the complex oceanographical context of Iceland) to find a pattern in the local structure of intertidal meiofaunal assemblages.
