Effects of litter accumulation on riparian vegetation: Importance of particle size

Abstract. The floristic effects of river‐borne litter that accumulates in riparian zones may vary in space and time depending on variations in mass and particle size of the deposited litter. To analyse the effects of litter mass and size we applied differentsized litter (natural uncut pieces and powder) to riparian vegetation at different quantities. Vegetation responses were analysed after one season at the community level (total biomass or richness for all species) and species traits (biomass or richness for groups of species). At the community level uncut litter, but not powder, reduced species richness and both uncut and ground litter reduced above‐ground biomass. At the species trait level uncut litter had a stronger effect than powder on species richness and biomass. The only positive effect of litter addition was that powder increased graminoid species richness. The topsoil conditions indicated that the major impact of deposited, river‐borne litter was that it acted as a physical barrier directly preventing established plants from penetrating the litter layer and reducing light and soil temperature.     

基于GTWR模型的浙江省海岸带三维生态足迹动态变化及其影响因素

厘清海岸带自然资本存量消耗和自然资本流量占用情况及其影响因素,能有效缓解海岸带社会经济发展与自然资源、生态环境之间的矛盾,促进区域协调可持续发展。本研究基于二维和三维生态足迹评价模型,分析浙江省海岸带2006—2016年生态足迹时空变化特征,基于足迹深度和足迹广度探究了区域自然资本存量和资本流量占用情况,并利用时空地理加权模型分析其影响因素的时空异质性。结果表明: 研究期间,浙江省海岸带生态危机加深,人均生态赤字平均值为3.5 hm²·cap^-1,人均生态赤字上升了15.5%,其中,能源消耗账户对人均生态足迹的贡献率大于生物资源账户;各县区人均生态足迹呈增长趋势,且空间分异显著。浙江省海岸带以消耗自然资本存量为主,且对自然资本流量更新起到较大的抑制作用;2016年,自然资本存量的消耗量是资本流量占有量的14.87倍。城市规模和经济发展水平、人民收入水平对浙江省海岸带各县区生态足迹以正向促进作用为主,渔业生产对生态足迹为负向影响,并有向正向影响作用转换的趋势,3个影响因子的影响机制时空分异性显著。     

Dendroclimatic potential of dendroanatomy in temperature-sensitive Pinus sylvestris

The most frequently and successfully used tree-ring parameters for the study of temperature variations are ring width and maximum latewood density (MXD). MXD is preferred over ring width due to a more prominent association with temperature. In this study we explore the dendroclimate potential of dendroanatomy based on the first truly well replicated dataset. Twenty-nine mature living Pinus sylvestris trees were sampled in North-eastern Finland at the cool and moist boreal forest zone, close to the latitudinal tree line, where ring width, X-ray MXD as well as the blue intensity counterpart MXBI were compared with dendroanatomical parameters. Maximum radial cell wall thickness as well as anatomical MXD and latewood density appeared to be the most promising parameters for temperature reconstruction. In fact, these parameters compare favorably to MXD derived from X-ray techniques as well as MXBI, in terms of shared variation and temperature correlations across frequencies and over time. The reasons for these results are thought to be the unprecedentedly high measurement resolution of the anatomical technique, which provide the optimal resolution – the cell – whereas X-ray techniques have a slightly lower resolution and BI techniques even lower. While the results of this study are encouraging, further tests on longer and multigenerational chronologies are required to more generally and fully assess the dendroclimate potential of anatomical parameters.     

The populations of fish in tributaries of the River Eden on the Moor House National Nature Reserve,northern England

The population dynamics of trout (Salmo trutta L.) were studied in two high-altitude streams flowing westwards into the River Eden in northern England. The results from one (Knock Ore Gill), which is accessible to spawners from downstream, were compared with published data from an isolated population in a nearby stream which flows eastward into the River Tees. The Knock Ore Gill trout had a population density of 0.4–0.9 fish m^–2, a biomass of 12.4 g m^–2, annual production of 12–14 g m^–2 year^–1 and an instantaneous mortality rate of 0.97 year^–1. Comparable values from the Tees tributary were 0.2, 3.3, 2.3 and 0.66 respectively. The Knock Ore Gill population also contrasted with that of the Tees tributary in having reliable recruitment from year to year. These differences were related to differences in the chemistry and spate characteristics of the two streams and to the fact that immigrants from downstream were responsible for over 30% of the annual oviposition in Knock Ore Gill.     

Analysis of household's energy consumption,forest degradation and plantation requirements in Eastern Tigray,Northern Ethiopia

This study examines the link between household's energy consumption, forest degradation and plantation requirements in Eastern Tigray. Data on household's fuelwood, cow‐dung, kerosene and electricity consumption in the study sites were collected from 557 urban and 114 rural households. Deforestation rate was estimated following FAO and Woody Biomass Inventory Strategy Planning Project (WBISPP's) conversion factors. The study showed that household's fuelwood consumption in urban areas (mean = 2.5 kg/day) was about 52% lower as compared to the rural villages (mean = 3.8 kg/day). The estimated area abandoned annually in the vicinity of urban areas as the result of urban fuelwood consumption varies from 217 ha around Maichew town to 12047 ha around Mekelle City. The estimated area abandoned in rural areas annually as the result of tree cutting for fuelwood also varies from 6.5 ha around Sinkata to 127 ha around Dergajen village. It is therefore recommended that an estimated annual tree plantation of area ranging from 286 ha around Maichew town to 21,684 ha around Mekelle city is required. Moreover, an estimated annual tree plantation of area ranging from 16 ha around Sinkata village to 229 ha around the Dergajen village is required taking the existing population into account.     

Short-Term Responders of Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients to EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Display High Prevalence of TP53 Mutations and Primary Resistance Mechanisms

Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating EGFR mutations in exon 19 and 21 typically responds to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI); however, for some patients, responses last only a few months. The underlying mechanisms of such short responses have not been fully elucidated. Here, we sequenced the genomes of 16 short-term responders (SR) that had progression-free survival (PFS) of less than 6 months on the first-generation EGFR TKI and compared them to 12 long-term responders (LR) that had more than 24 months of PFS. All patients were diagnosed with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and harbored EGFR 19del or L858R mutations before treatment. Paired tumor samples collected before treatment and after relapse (or at the last follow-up) were subjected to targeted next-generation sequencing of 416 cancer-related genes. SR patients were significantly younger than LR patients (P < .001). Collectively, 88% of SR patients had TP53 variations compared to 13% of LR patients (P < .001). Additionally, 37.5% of SR patients carried EGFR amplifications compared to 8% of LR patients. Other potential primary resistance factors were also identified in the pretreatment samples of 12 SR patients (75%), including PTEN loss; BIM deletion polymorphism; and amplifications of EGFR, ERBB2, MET, HRAS, and AKT2. Comparatively, only three LR patients (25%) were detected with EGFR or AKT1 amplifications that could possibly exert resistance. The diverse preexisting resistance mechanisms in SR patients revealed the complexity of defining treatment strategies even for EGFR-sensitive mutations.
