Chiroptical properties of cation complexes of chiral phenazino-18-crown-6 ether-type hosts

Herein we report CD spectroscopic studies on complexes of (R,R)-dimethyl-, (R,R)-diisobutyl-, and (S,S)-di-sec-butyl-phenazino-18-crown-6 ligands (Scheme 1) with selected alkali (Na+, K+), alkaline earth (Mg2+, Ca2+), and transition-metal (Ag+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Pb2+) cations. The complexation was monitored in the 300- to 240-nm region of the CD spectra comprising mainly the 1Bb band of the heteroaromatic subunit. The CD spectra of the complexes showed an unexpected diversity. In the most characteristic 1Bb spectral region, the number, position, and intensity of band(s) depend not only on the heteroaromatic subunit and the size of the substituents but also on the diameter, ion strength, and coordination geometry of the cation. The appearance of two weak 1Bb CD bands (type-I spectra) with the sign pattern of the host is an indication of two complexes of comparable stability. The "type-II" spectra differ from that of the host in the number, sign pattern, and intensity of the bands. Complexes of transition-metal cations generally show CD spectra with more intense bands. The CD spectra of complexes of (S,S)-di-sec-butyl-phenazino-18-crown-6 ligand with Na+, K+, and Pb2+ (type III) strongly suggest exciton coupling caused by the closeness of the heteroaromatic rings of two 1:1 complex molecules.     

Crown ether activates cholesterol oxidase in low water media

Kinetic studies of cholesterol oxidase-catalysed oxidation of cholesterol in water/2-propanol mixtures showed a decrease of V _max/K _m values on the increase of concentration of the organic co-solvent. Addition of 18-crown-6 to the reaction medium results in an increase of V _max up to 16 times, and V _max/K _m up to 8.4 times, enhancing the activity of cholesterol oxidase in 2-propanol/water (88:12 v/v) to 3.5 times compared to the level observed in 46% 2-propanol.

落叶松人工林单木模型的研究

根据吉林省松江河林业局所实测的落叶松人工林(Larix olgensis)临时标准地66块、固定标准地18块以及8块团状枝解析样地资料,通过对林分中优势木生长及树冠结构与动态的分析,提出适于树木生长的Korf方程并用来构造林木的潜在生长函数。选择林分密度指数(SDI)作为反映林分中林木之间平均拥挤指标。在单木竞争指标的选择上,通过引进树冠因子,并在与传统的竞争指标相比较的基础上,淡化距离因子的作用,应用优势木相对树冠表面积构造了与距离无关的单木竞争指标,以此建立了落叶松人工林单木生长模型。     

樟子松人工林树冠结构的分形分析

基于樟子松人工林7块固定标准地中的31株解析木的树冠体积和叶量,以幂函数关系(F=Av^(D/3))建立了预估树冠表面积的分形维数。同时根据生物量实测数据,建立预估叶量的生物模型Lw=0.180397D^3045903H^-1.67348。基于枝解析、树干解析数据,动态地预估了一年、二年、三年前的树冠体积,并结合树冠体积、叶量的这种幂函数关系可以动态地预估一年、二年、三年前树冠表面积的分形维数,从而反映出树冠结构的动态变化规律。为了了解不同分级样木的分维数变化情况,利用2003年调查的4块生物量标准地数据,根据单株树木各个枝条占据的空间体积与该枝条的带叶枝干重的关系,计算了各标准地不同分级样木树冠的分维数。为探讨单株样木树冠的分维数的计算提供了一种可行方法。树冠的分维数作为表征树冠的动态生长变化是一有用和可靠的指标。     

Crown dieback events as key processes creating cavity habitat for magellanic woodpeckers

Abstract Woodpeckers are considered keystone species for webs of cavity nesters and habitat and resource specialists that strongly depend on availability of trees suitable for cavity excavation. Most studies carried out in northern hemisphere temperate coniferous forests emphasize the importance of old growth stages of forests or large dead trees as habitat for cavity builders. We present a study of Nothofagus pumilio tree selection by the magellanic woodpecker (Campephilus magellanicus) that incorporates dendroecological data on long‐term growth trends of trees that provides new insights into the processes that create suitable habitat for cavity excavating species. We analysed 351 cavity and neighbouring control trees in terms of age and radial growth patterns, as well as external tree characteristics. In addition, from a subsample of these trees we developed tree‐ring chronologies for each group using standard methods in order to analyse potential differences in radial growth patterns between cavity and non‐cavity trees. Multivariate models that account for differences between paired cavities versus control trees indicated that growth decline and the degree of crown dieback were the primary variables explaining magellanic woodpecker tree selection for cavity building. In contrast to previous work, neither diameter (above a certain threshold) nor age, were important determinants of selection. Furthermore, trees that became present cavity are those that had synchronously declined in radial growth during the 1943–44 and 1956–57 droughts and the 1985–86 massive caterpillar defoliation. Insect outbreaks and extreme climatic events may episodically reduce vigour, induce partial crown mortality, trigger increased fungal attack and heart rot formation at different tree heights on the bole in a group of trees and thus increase availability of soft substrate and their likelihood of cavity excavation by the magellanic woodpecker. These results underscore the importance of drought/biotically‐induced canopy dieback events in creating habitat for woodpeckers and their dependent cavity users.

香蕉上的镰孢菌种类及其系统发育关系(英文)

镰孢菌属真菌是香蕉上的重要病原菌,主要引起香蕉枯萎病以及香蕉冠腐病,在我国已明确引起香蕉枯萎病的病原为尖孢镰孢古巴专化型 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense(FOC)1号和4号生理小种,但是引起香蕉冠腐病的镰孢菌种类还未明确。为了解香蕉上镰孢菌在种间及种内水平上的多样性,2008–2011 年间作者从华南地区不同的水果市场及香蕉果园采集香蕉样品90份,分离得到143株镰孢菌。通过形态学观察及基于 EF-1α基因的系统进化分析鉴定出10种镰孢菌,即F. oxysporum、F. solani、F. camptoceras、F. pallidoroseum、F. stiloides、F. chlamydosporum、F.verticillioides、F. proliferatum、F. concentricum、F. sacchari,以及藤仓赤霉复合种(Gibberella fujikuroi species complex,GFC)中 3 个未定名的类群。轮纹镰孢 F. concentricum 及甘蔗镰孢 F.sacchari 是香蕉果实中最常见种,前菌为我国首次报道,后菌是首次报道与香蕉有关。对从香蕉上分离的藤仓赤霉复合种(GFC)及尖孢镰孢复合种(FOSC)的EF-1α序列进行了系统发育分析,其GFC中的27个菌株组成的单系群可分为7个不同的亚群,分别为 F.verticillioides、F. proliferatum、F. concentricum、F. sacchari 以及3个没有描述过的菌系 Fusarium sp. 1、Fusarium sp.2和 Fusarium sp.3;FOSC中的50个菌株形成2大分枝共12个谱系,分离自我国华南地区的21株尖孢镰孢形成7个谱系,其中 13株已知的香蕉枯萎病病原菌分布在3个谱系中,我国大陆的香蕉枯萎病病原菌菌株与来源于台湾地区及东南亚的菌株亲缘关系较近,FOC1号生理小种的遗传分化大于4号生理小种,FOC 1号生理小种与分离自香蕉果实上的尖孢镰孢菌的亲缘关系比与FOC 4号生理小种的亲缘关系更近。研究结果表明,我国香蕉上存在着丰富的镰孢菌种类,而且种内遗传多样性丰富。

为研究杉木风景游憩林标准林分密度（立木株数）,确定合理抚育间伐强度提供科学依据。本文在福建将乐国有林场通过设置杉木人工林39块标准地和2 906株每木检尺实测数据,建立了福建将乐杉木人工林树冠径与胸径以及冠径与胸径比值(cd/D)关系,并分析了冠径与胸径比值在风景游憩林树木空间、林分密度和间伐强度中的应用。研究表明:胸径在2~43 cm之间时,相关系数(R²)达0.919 5,呈显著线性相关,其中2~35 cm模型精度较高,35~43 cm误差较大。通过对不同大小的杉木(cd/D)比值进行分析,得出随着胸径增大比值是逐渐减小的,并且减小的趋势随着胸径的增大趋于平稳,最后趋于一个常数。     

人工长白落叶松幼龄林树冠比叶重

比叶重(LMA)是构建生态系统过程模型的重要参数之一,准确预测树冠比叶重的动态变化对提高模型精度有重要意义。本研究以黑龙江省尚志市帽儿山林场人工长白山落叶松为对象,分别在生长季针叶不同发育时期对树冠内不同垂直位置的针叶比叶重进行测量,分析针叶比叶重在树冠垂直方向及针叶不同发育时期的变化规律,探讨导致其时间和空间差异的主要因子,建立长白落叶松幼龄林比叶重动态预估模型。结果表明: 比叶重在树冠垂直方向表现为随着相对着枝深度(RDINC)的增加而减小,完全展叶后比叶重在垂直方向的变化幅度明显高于展叶初期。比叶重在不同发育时期表现为随发育进程先增大后趋于稳定,该趋势随着树冠深度的增加而逐渐减弱。分别以RDINC和年度积日(DOY)为单一变量预测比叶重时,模型的调整后决定系数(R_a²)低于0.6,当同时以RDINC和DOY为自变量构建比叶重预估模型时,R_a²提高0.19,且模型检验效果良好(ME=0.54 g·m^-2, MAE=5.74 g·m^-2)。研究表明长白落叶松比叶重在树冠不同轮层和不同针叶发育期间均存在显著差异,以RDINC和DOY为自变量构建的比叶重预测模型可以很好描述长白落叶松比叶重的空间及生长季针叶发育期变化,为阐明树冠发育机理提供理论依据,为提高生态过程模型精度奠定基础。
