微波改性竹炭颗粒对实验性腹泻大鼠免疫性能和消化吸收功能的影响

旨以研究活性竹炭颗粒(MABCP)对实验性腹泻大鼠免疫性能和消化吸收功能的影响,在大鼠饲粮中分别添加0.05,0.10,0.15%的经KOH微波活化处理的竹炭颗粒,对模型大鼠进行为期一周的饲养试验。研究发现:经KOH微波活化的竹炭颗粒,比表面积与吸附性能大幅增强,其能显著降低腹泻大鼠稀便率(P<0.05),有效增加胸腺和脾脏指数(P<0.05);显著提高腹泻大鼠血清D-木糖含量(P<0.05),但对消化酶如淀粉酶活性无显著影响(P>0.05);肠道线粒体琥珀酸脱氢酶、NADH脱氢酶、H+-ATP酶活性显著增强(P<0.05),MDA生成量显著降低(P<0.05)。试验表明MABCP可提高体积免疫性能,改善小肠吸收功能,减少肠道自由基生成,有效维持或改善细胞氧化磷酸化水平,其中以低剂量添加效果更为明显。     

亚热带城乡复合系统BVOC排放清单——以台州地区为例

挥发性有机复合物(VOC)对大气的化学组成有重要的影响。植物排放的VOC(BVOC)比人为源VOC(AVOC)具有更高的反应活性。通过实地调查台州地区的植被构成和分布,综合BVOC排放速率的测定值和文献数值、当地气象资料等,研究了台州城市和周边地区的BVOC排放强度、时空格局及种类特征。结果表明,2009年台州地区的BVOC年排放量为4.6×1010 g C,其中异戊二烯、单萜和其他VOC所占的比重分别为93.8%、3.5%和2.7%。野外森林中毛竹林排放强度(133.8 t C.km-.2a-1)高出马尾松林、杉木林和常绿阔叶林(分别为0.9、0.8、0.6 t C.km-.2a-1)2个数量级,因此从改善大气质量角度考虑应当抑制毛竹林的扩张。城市行道树及河道树的BVOC排放强度为2.4 t C.km-.2a-1,公园及居民区绿地为1.6 t C.km-.2a-1,均高于野外除毛竹林外的其他植被类型。台州市区的主要树种中,垂柳、合欢、龙爪槐和枫香的单株排放强度较高,而香樟、广玉兰、银杏等单株排放强度相对较低。可优先选择这些排放强度低的树种用作城市绿化。研究结果也可为处在相近气候带的城市中绿化树种的选择和大气质量的改善提供科学依据。

It is recorded from foothills and lower montane habitats of North Carolina and Georgia where hill cane, Arundinaria appalachiana Triplett, Weakley & L.G. Clark is found. Adults and their genitalia are figured and a mtDNA barcode sequence is given.     

Patterns of hand and mouth lateral biases in bamboo leaf shoot feeding and simple food reaching in the gentle lemur (Hapalemur griseus)

Lateralized feeding behaviors of 7 wild-born and 6 captive-born Hapalemur griseus sp. were evaluated in two conditions, simple food reaching and species-typical bamboo foraging. Gentle lemurs were found to have the strongest lateral hand preference in simple food reaching of any prosimian species yet studied. However in this small sample, population-level lateralization was not found: 5 preferred the right hand and 8 the left. The movement pattern used by hapalemurs when feeding on bamboo leaf shoots was categorized into four components: PULL IN, COUNTERFORCE, TURN, and FEED IN. Lateral hand bias was scored for all four components and lateral mouth preference was scored for the two components that involved the mouth (COUNTERFORCE and FEED IN). Strong positive correlations were found between hand preference in the most lateralized components of shoot eating (TURN and FEED IN) and simple food reaching. This suggests that the gentle lemurs' species-typical bamboo feeding behavior may contribute to the exceptionally strong hand preference for simple food reaching seen in this species. There were negative correlations between the component measure of shoot feeding that required strength (COUNTERFORCE) and the components that required manipulation (TURN and FEED IN). Within the COUNTERFORCE and FEED IN components, mouth preference and hand preference were positively associated in a manner that suggested one side of the mouth was preferred for removing the shoot and the other side for mastication. Asymmetrical dental wear may provide a means of dating behavioral lateralization in ancestral species. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

干旱-复水处理对杠柳幼苗光合作用及活性氧代谢的影响

采用人工控制土壤水分试验,以80%田间持水量处理为对照,研究了3次干旱-复水处理对2年生杠柳幼苗叶片光合作用,根、茎、叶膜脂过氧化和抗氧化系统的影响.结果表明: 在干旱条件下, 杠柳叶片相对含水量和光合速率(P_n)显著降低,光合色素含量升高. 干旱复水后,叶片相对含水量完全恢复,反映了杠柳较强的旱后修复能力;叶绿素含量和P_n均明显高于对照,表现出补偿效应,适度干旱诱导了杠柳的抗旱适应性.干旱胁迫使P_n下降,以气孔限制为主,但在中午发生了非气孔限制;幼叶、新茎和细根中的超氧阴离子产生速率升高,丙二醛含量则降低,说明这些幼嫩组织未受到氧化伤害.不同器官中SOD、CAT和POD活性及变化趋势不同,以细根的3种保护酶的反应最为灵敏,说明细根是杠柳适应干旱环境的重要器官.器官间的相互合作与协调使杠柳能有效地适应干湿交替的干旱环境.     

林冠环境对亚高山针叶林下缺苞箭竹生物量分配和克隆形态的影响

通过对亚高山针叶林的林下、小林窗(130 m²)、中林窗(300 m²)和大林窗(500 m²) 4种林冠环境中缺苞箭竹(Fargesia denudata)分株种群特征进行调查, 研究其生物量分配格局和克隆形态可塑性。研究结果表明: (1)分株生物量、基径、高度以及分株各构件生物量随林冠郁闭度减小均表现为先增加后减小的趋势, 在小林窗中达到最大值; (2)大林窗中, 根生物量分配和数量显著高于其他林冠环境, 随林冠郁闭度增大, 分株不断增大叶生物量分配、比叶面积和分枝百分比等地上部分投资, 以适应低光环境; (3)比茎长和比地下茎长随林冠郁闭度增大表现为先减小后增加的趋势, 在小林窗值最低, 分枝强度在小林窗和中林窗中显著高于林下和大林窗环境。结果显示, 缺苞箭竹在不同林冠环境中具有生物量分配和克隆形态的可塑性, 以利于种群对光资源的有效利用。小林窗环境是缺苞箭竹较适宜的生境, 生物量积累最多, 长势最好。     

天敌竹盲走螨在纯竹林中种群数量锐减的原因研究

本项研究针对我国南方毛竹林,近年害螨突发性成灾的现象,进行调查与研究,结果表明：纯竹林害螨总量平均高于混交林289．28％,混交林天敌竹盲走螨(Typhlodromus bambusae Ehara)总量平均高于纯竹林263．56％;混交林益、害螨比例为1：13,而纯竹林益、害螨比例是1：118。研究表明纯竹林地面垦复、劈草,使得以芒草为生的芒草裂爪螨(Schizotetranychus mistanthi Saito)种群数量急剧下降,导致乡土优势种竹盲走螨缺乏中间食物,难以维持种群。在毛竹——芒草混生的毛竹林(含其它树种)由于毛竹上害螨和林下芒草裂爪螨受到共同天敌——竹盲走螨的控制维持着稳定的益、害种群数量,虽然有害螨,但不成灾,在纯竹林由于地面垦复、劈草破坏原有已形成的生物链,导致毛竹害螨失去天敌控制而突发性成灾,证明纯竹林中天敌锐减是导致毛竹害螨暴发成灾的重要因素。     

Silicification of bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla Mitf.) root and leaf

Bamboo is a silicon accumulating plant. In leaves, the major place of silicon (Si) deposition is the epidermis, with the highest concentration of Si in silica cells. In bamboo roots, the deposition of Si is found only in endodermal cell walls. The silicification of leaves and roots was examined in the economically important bamboo plant Phyllostachys heterocycla, using an environmental scanning electron microscope coupled with X-ray microanalysis, as well as gravimetric quantification. The content of Si on a dry weight basis measured by gravimetric quantification was 7.6% in leaves and 2.4% in roots, respectively. Moreover, quantification of EDX data showed high Si impregnation of the inner tangential endodermal walls. Si content in this part of the root endodermal cell walls was even higher than that in the outer leaf epidermal walls, where conspicuous deposition of Si often occurs in grass plants.     

浙江栉蝠蛾的生物学特性

浙江栉蝠蛾Bipectilus zhejiangensis Wang是我国南方地区重要的竹林地下害虫,其生物学特性尚未见报道。通过林间调查和室内试验对浙江栉蝠蛾危害竹子种类及生物学特性进行较为系统的观察。结果表明,浙江栉蝠蛾危害竹子种类多,主要以刚竹属竹种为主。浙江栉蝠蛾在浙江省1年发生1代,以2～3龄幼虫在土壤中越冬,翌年4月上旬幼虫开始化蛹,5月初成虫开始羽化,羽化主要集中在13：30～18：30之间,羽化当天便可交尾产卵,单雌平均产卵量可达290粒,成虫寿命雌虫平均4．2d,雄虫平均6．2d。卵经70d左右孵化,随即钻入土壤取食,准备越冬。     

天然林重建过程中单优箬叶竹灌丛对树木更新的影响

利用1996年在湖南省会同林区布置的20个1 hm~2的实验样地,以剔除或林下不含箬叶竹样地作为对照(C),保留箬叶竹作为处理(I),评估了天然林重建过程中林下单优箬叶竹灌丛形成对树种更新过程的影响.处理10a以后结果显示,箬叶竹灌丛盖度上升到95%.进一步通过2007年两种样地乔木多度、多样性、生物量以及物种组成等指标的测量表明,单优箬叶竹灌丛显著抑制了树种的存活与生长,18～390 cm高度级别的树种多度和多样性显著降低,尽管高度18 cm以下级别的幼苗以及成年树的多度和多样性没有显著下降,但是生物量从幼苗到成年树,处理样地普遍下降.幼苗、幼树、成年树地上部分生物量分别下降47.45%、39.87%、59.64%,地下部分生物量分别下降55.70%、46.08%、63.62%.NMS(非计量多元尺度法)排序进一步表明两种样地具有显著不同的树种组成,揭示两种样地处于不同的演替更新阶段.结果表明单优箬叶竹灌丛的形成能延缓树种更新的进程,因此天然林重建过程中应注意避免该类林下植被的出现.
