不同灌溉模式对稻田土壤及糙米重金属积累的影响

为探讨降低土壤和糙米重金属的灌溉模式, 选取江西省萍乡地区的中度重金属污染稻田, 研究了灌浆期习惯性灌溉(间歇性灌溉)和长期淹水灌溉2种灌溉模式对水稻产量、糙米重金属及土壤理化性质的影响。结果表明: 与习惯性灌溉相比, 长期淹水灌溉条件下的水稻产量降低1.25%; 糙米Cd和Pb含量分别降低42.79%和3.70%, 其中糙米Cr含量显著降低44.81%, 但糙米Hg含量显著增加200%, 糙米无机As含量增加3.29%; 土壤Cd含量降低38.77%, 其中土壤有效态Cd含量和阳离子交换量显著降低72.08%和36.71%, 但土壤pH和有机质增加0.97%和6.32%; 同时相关性分析发现糙米Cr含量与土壤有机质呈显著负相关, 与阳离子交换量呈显著正相关, 糙米Hg含量与土壤有效态Cd含量和阳离子交换量呈极显著负相关。长期淹水灌溉可有效降低污染稻田土壤Cd进入水稻, 实现水稻安全生产, 但会增加糙米Hg积累和减产。     

还田秸秆分解与氮素释放的动态模拟

还田秸秆的分解与氮素释放动态是作物养分管理的重要依据。建立了秸秆分解氮素释放动态的“整吞”式动态模拟模型。模型由秸秆有机质分解和残余有机质含氮率动态模拟两部分组成,有机质分解的温度效应用指数函数描述,水分效应用分段线性函数描述,用“标准天”反映温度与水分的综合影响,残余有机质含氮率动态变化用“标准天”为变量的函数模拟,初始秸秆含氮量与残余秸秆含氮量之差即为秸秆分解的氮素净释放。“整吞”式较之“吃馅饼”式建模构思,所需参数少且易通过实验获得,增加了模型的可用性,利用在淮北滨海地区小麦的试验资料对模型的有效性进行了验证。     

拟水狼蛛的生物学生态学特性

运用田间观察与室内外饲养相结合的方法,对稻田蛛蛛优势种拟水狼蛛Pirata subpiraticus的生物学生态学特性进行了研究。拟水狼蛛在重庆地区1a发生3－4代,第4代不完整,以第2代历期最短,第3代（越冬代）历期最长;以成蛛或幼蛛越冬;5月初即由田埂向稻田内迁移,在水稻生育期间出现3次卵高峰、2次种群密度高峰;在田间具掘土作穴习性,室内发现4龄后的幼蛛在袋状网内蜕皮、交配期和携卵期有结袋状网或幕状网的习性;属游猎型蜘蛛,可步行、跳跃在植株、水面、陆地等处捕食飞虱、叶蝉、粘虫、螟虫等多种稻虫,捕食量与龄期、蜕皮和性别有关;受惊时,能入水中潜行和潜伏。雌雄蛛均可多次交配,雌蛛一生可产卵3－6次,卵囊含卵量25－130粒,平均75粒。平均孵化率90．5％。孵化的幼蛛,先群集在雌蛛的背部,3－5d后离开雌蛛分散捕食。幼蛛一般蜕皮7－8次,出卵囊前已蜕皮至少1次。拟水狼蛛的产卵前期2－6d,平均3d;卵期9－15d,平均11.4d;幼蛛期57－133d,平均81.6d;成蛛期128－186d,平均140d左右,雌蛛较雄蛛长24－51d,平均39.6d。性比除第1代外的各代均为雌多于雄蛛。论文详细记载了拟水狼蛛求偶与交配行为过程、产卵与护卵习性、孵化及携幼行为、幼蛛生长、蜕皮、各龄期形态特征、亚成蛛及性成熟。幼蛛出卵囊后至性成熟的成活率为21．4％－56．3％,平均达35．0％。室内饲养发现在一定湿度条件下,不提供食物成蛛可存活28－57d,平均42．7d。     

CH4 emissions from rice paddies managed according to farmer's practice in Hunan, China

We measured CH₄ emissions from ricepaddies managed by farmer's practices inChangsha, Hunan Province, China, from 1995 to1997. During the winter season, rice fieldswere left fallow under either drained(C-Fallow) or flooded conditions (C-Flood), andplanted with either Chinese milk vetch (C-GM)or oil-seed rape (C-Rape). The organic manureproduced in the winter (weeds, Chinese milkvetch, or oil-seed rape straw) was incorporatedin situ before the early-ricetransplanting. Both early-rice and late-ricestraws were removed and the soil was notamended with any exogenous organic manure. For1996 to 1997, the average seasonal CH₄emission for the double rice cropping periodwas the highest from the plot that was floodedin the winter (103.5 g CH₄ m^–2) andlowest from the plot planted and incorporatedwith Chinese milk vetch (32.6 gCH₄ m^–2). Precipitation in the winternot only affected growth of green manure, whichwas incorporated in situ, but might alsoaffect CH₄ emissions during the subsequentrice growing period. Therefore, a simplerelationship could not be found between theincorporated amount of green manure andCH₄ emission. In the plots incorporatedwith vetch and oil-seed rape straw CH₄emissions were significantly less during thesubsequent late-rice period than during theearly-rice period. This phenomenon might beattributed to a ``priming effect' of greenmanure, which exhausted soil labile organicmatter. Based on the CH₄ fluxmeasurements, the total CH₄ emissions fromrice fields in Hunan Province during the ricegrowing season were estimated as 1.56 TgCH₄ in 1996 and 1.06 Tg CH₄ in 1997.Large variation of precipitation in the winterwould be an important factor controlling theannual variation of CH₄ emissions from thetreatments.     

Aerenchyma and an Inducible Barrier to Radial Oxygen Loss Facilitate Root Aeration in Upland, Paddy and Deep-water Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The present study evaluated waterlogging tolerance, root porosityand radial O₂ loss (ROL) from the adventitious roots, of sevenupland, three paddy, and two deep-water genotypes of rice (Oryzasativa L.). Upland types, with the exception of one genotype,were as tolerant of 30 d soil waterlogging as the paddyand deep-water types. In all but one of the 12 genotypes, thenumber of adventitious roots per stem increased for plants grownin waterlogged, compared with drained, soil. When grown in stagnantdeoxygenated nutrient solution, genotypic variation was evidentfor root porosity and rates of ROL, but there was no overalldifference between plants from the three cultural types. Adventitiousroot porosity increased from 20–26 % for plants grownin aerated solution to 29–41 % for plants grown instagnant solution. Growth in stagnant solution also induceda ‘tight’ barrier to ROL in the basal regions ofadventitious roots of five of the seven upland types, all threepaddy types, and the two deep-water types. The enhanced porosityprovided a low resistance pathway for O₂ movement to the roottip, and the barrier to ROL in basal zones would have furtherenhanced longitudinal O₂ diffusion towards the apex, by diminishinglosses to the rhizosphere. The plasticity in root physiology,as described above, presumably contributes to the ability ofrice to grow in diverse environments that differ markedly insoil waterlogging, such as drained upland soils as well as waterloggedpaddy fields.

Airborne fungi in vegetable growing areas of Edirne, Turkey

We aimed at the investigation of the airborne fungiand their outdoor incidence in five vegetable growingareas in Edirne province (Turkey) by exposing a petridish with potato dextrose agar medium to air for 15minutes and then counting the number of growingcolonies. Sampling procedure for fungi was performed6 times in research stations at an interval of onemonth between April–September 1996. From the 90petri dishes obtained fungi were isolated and 1166colonies were counted. 12 genera (Absidia,Alternaria, Aspergillus, Botryotrichum, Chlamydomyces,Cladosporium, Endocochlus, Fusarium, Nematochtonus,Penicillium, Trichoderma and Torula) and 25species were identified. Among them, Aspergillusclavato-nanica and Penicillium estinogenum arevery likely to be new records for Turkey. Cladosporium carpophilum and Alternariaalternata were the most abundant species in the studyarea. Correlation analyses were applied to the data.     

Multi-disciplinary evidence of the Holocene history of a cultivated floodplain area in the wetlands of northern Colombia

An environmental reconstruction of the last 10,000 ¹⁴C years of a frequently flooded wetland ecosystem in the lower Magdalena valley in northern Colombia is presented, on the basis of a multi-disciplinary study of the sediments of the upper 15 m of the core from Boquillas (74°33'E, 9°7'N; 20 m a. s. l.). We used the following studies: pollen, lithology, organic structures, clay mineralogy, soil and sediment geochemistry, and δ¹³C values. The chronology is based on 13 AMS radiocarbon dates; the humic acid fractions were used in the case of seven samples. Pollen from local origin (swamps, open grass-rich vegetation, and gallery forest) show the development of the wetland area. River-transported pollen from a greater distance (dry forest, montane forest, Alnus) show changes in river activity and reflect large-scale changes of climatic conditions in the Momposina basin. From c. 10,010 to 9370 uncal B. P. (zone BQS-Ia) the river system was of high energy, as inferred by the lithological changes. The landscape was dominated by open grass-rich vegetation with gallery forest along the streams. A marked representation of Alnus and montane forest taxa indicate significant water transport and river dynamics. Climatic conditions were dry. From c. 9370-8430 uncal B. P. (zone BQS-Ib) wetlands were isolated from the main river system, and clayey sediments with kaolinite, smectite and illite as the main minerals accumulated in a lower-energy environment. Climatic conditions were dry and changes in the seasonal precipitation favoured the expansion of the gallery forest. From c. 8430 to 8040 uncal B. P. (zone BQS-Ic) low values of river-transported pollen indicate dry climatic conditions and open vegetation became more abundant. The flooding frequency of the Boquillas site diminished. From 8040 to 4900 uncal B. P. (zone BQS-Id) the Boquillas site was dominated by open vegetation with patches of gallery forest along the streams. Supply of river-transported allochthonous pollen (from many sources) was minimal. Clay minerals from the sediments suggest variable temperature and precipitation. From c. 4900 to 1550 uncal B. P. )zone BQS-II) the site was within the reach of the main river system as is the case today. Frequent flooding, coinciding with peaks of river-transported grains of Alnus and high sediment supply, point to high precipitation in the composite catchment area of the Magdalena, Cauca, San Jorge, and Cesár rivers. High values of phosphorous in the upper part of the core point to the presence of a pre-Hispanic civilization, approximately from 2000 uncal B. P. onward. Construction of an extensive drainage system allowed irrigation as well as drainage depending the annual cycle of precipitation. The landscape was significantly modified and allowed an extensive crop production on a system of raised fields. Received May 18, 2001 / Accepted June 15, 2001     

Genetic variation of Sherardia arvensis L. – How land use and fragmentation affect an arable weed

The distribution of arable weeds extends over regions, where the species occur naturally in different kinds of habitats and regions, where they are mainly limited to arable fields.Here, we present a comparative study on the genetic structure of the arable weed Sherardia arvensis L. comprising populations from Mediterranean grasslands in Southern France and populations from arable fields in Germany. Enhanced by intensified land use since the 1960th, overall population density in Germany is very low compared to the density of populations in Southern France. We tested whether genetic variation within and among populations differ between France and Germany due to different patterns of distribution and land use. Therefore, we analysed 231 individuals of S. arvensis from 24 populations using AFLPs. Based on fragment analysis data we compared spatial genetic structure and genetic variation of populations from the two regions.Genetic variation within populations from the two regions (Shannon Index = 0.13 for both) and genetic variation among populations (26.8% and 30.0% in an analysis of molecular variance) were comparable. In both regions a drift-migration model supported the assumption of gene flow between populations. However, a clear correlation of geographical and genetic distances could only be reported for the indigenous populations from France (r = 0.46; P = 0.02), whereas in Germany a spatial genetic relationship between populations was missing (r = 0.16; P = 0.21).Our study revealed that neither French nor German populations are genetically impoverished. For French populations further the spatial genetic structure suggests that there is current gene flow between populations through pollinators and seed dispersal by cattle. For German populations comparable levels of genetic diversity and gene flow were detected, but gene flow was random. This can be traced back in all likelihood to diffuse dispersal by agriculture and the mechanical reshuffling of the individuals from the soil seed bank.     

External control of the Drosophila melanogaster lifespan by combination of 3D oscillating low-frequency electric and magnetic fields

We demonstrate that the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster population is controllable by a combination of external three-dimensional oscillating low-frequency electric and magnetic fields (3D OLFEMFs). The lifespan was decreased or increased in dependence of the parameters of the external 3D OLFEMFs. We propose that metabolic processes in D. melanogaster’s body are either accelerated (in the case of reduced lifespan) or slowed down (in the case of increased lifespan) in function of 3D OLFEMFs that induce vibrational motions on sub-cellular and larger scales.
