湛江5种红树林树种光合作用特性及光合固碳能力研究

应用Li-6400便携式光合作用测定系统,对湛江市特呈岛5种红树林树种的净光合速率日变化和光合作用—光响应曲线进行了测定,探讨了各树种的光合作用特性以及主要影响因子并评估其固碳能力大小。结果表明:在自然光照条件下,秋茄和红海榄叶片净光合速率(Pn)的日变化曲线呈单峰型,白骨壤、木榄和桐花树为双峰型,光合"午休"现象明显,而且峰值分别出现在10:00和14:00左右。其中,白骨壤和木榄的光合午休主要由气孔限制因素引起,桐花树主要由非气孔限制因素引起。通径分析表明,光合有效辐射(PAR)是影响白骨壤和桐花树叶片Pn的主要决策因子,而叶面大气蒸汽压亏缺(VPD)是主要限制因子;影响秋茄和红海榄叶片Pn的主要决策因子是气孔导度(Gs),主要限制因子是叶温(Tl);影响木榄叶片Pn的主要决策因子是气孔导度(Gs)。基于叶片净光合作用速率的各树种日净固碳量存在显著性差异(P0.01),秋茄的日净固碳量最大(13.83 g·m-2·d-1),其次为白骨壤和桐花树(9.48和8.24 g·m-2·d-1),木榄和红海榄的较小(6.72和6.30 g·m-2·d-1)。5种红树林树种的光补偿点(LCP)介于28.3~137.0μmol·m-2·s-1之间,显示了阳生植物的特性。光饱和点(LSP)介于169.3~1189.3μmol·m-2·s-1之间,桐花树最大,红海榄最小。5种红树林树种的表观量子效率(AQY)存在极显著差异(P0.01),白骨壤最高为0.064 mol·mol-1,木榄最低,仅为0.005 mol·mol-1。5种红树林植物叶片的光响应参数与日净固碳量的关联度大小顺序为最大净光合速率(Pmax)、LSP-LCP、AQY、LSP、LCP。     

疏叶骆驼刺和多枝柽柳不同时期光合特性日变化及其与环境因子的关系

在自然条件下,利用Li-6400光合仪测定疏叶骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.)和多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb.)7~9月份的气体交换参数,分析2种植物净光合速率(Pn)与环境因子——光合有效辐射(PAR)、空气温度(Ta)、大气CO2浓度(Ca)、相对湿度(RH)之间的关系,以明确影响其光合作用的主导环境因子,为恢复和重建过渡带植被提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)疏叶骆驼刺不同时期Pn的日变化均为单峰曲线,多枝柽柳7、8月份的Pn日变化为单峰曲线,9月份为双峰曲线,且疏叶骆驼刺Pn的平均值(7.08μmol·m-2·s-1)高于多枝柽柳(5.54μmol·m-2·s-1)。(2)2种植物7~9月份的蒸腾速率(Tr)日变化均为单峰曲线,且疏叶骆驼刺Tr的平均值(5.46mmol·m-2·s-1)高于多枝柽柳(4.40mmol·m-2·s-1);疏叶骆驼刺和多枝柽柳的胞间CO2浓度(Ci)的日变化趋势均呈"倒钟型"曲线,与Pn日变化趋势相反。(3)2种植物7~9月份的WUE日变化进程与各自的Pn日变化规律基本一致,多枝柽柳的WUE日均值(1.21 mmol·mol-1)明显高于疏叶骆驼刺(0.97mmol·mol-1)。(4)偏相关分析显示,骆驼刺和柽柳的Pn与PAR呈显著正相关关系,而与RH呈显著负相关关系;回归分析显示,骆驼刺和柽柳Pn日变化的变异分别有35.6%和42.4%是由环境因子的日变化造成的;通径分析显示,各环境因子对Pn都具有显著的影响,其大小顺序分别为:TaRHPARCa(骆驼刺)和PARCaTaRH(柽柳),且骆驼刺在7~9月份内PAR均为决策变量,RH为限制变量(除7月份外);而柽柳在8、9月份内PAR均是决策变量,RH、Ca是限制变量。研究表明,疏叶骆驼刺属于高光合高蒸腾低水分利用效率型,多枝柽柳属于低蒸腾低光合高水分利用效率型;7月份骆驼刺和柽柳Pn的下降主要是由于气孔限制引起,而8、9月份主要是由非气孔因素限制所致;PAR和RH是影响骆驼刺和柽柳最重要的环境因子,其次是Ca,而Ta在不同时期的影响程度不同;疏叶骆驼刺和多枝柽柳与环境协同进化过程中产生了一定的生态适应性,但柽柳的WUE明显高于骆驼刺,推测柽柳的抗旱能力强于骆驼刺。

Effects of the landscape on boreal toad gene flow: does the pattern–process relationship hold true across distinct landscapes at the northern range margin?

Understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic landscape features on population connectivity is a major goal in evolutionary ecology and conservation. Discovery of dispersal barriers is important for predicting population responses to landscape and environmental changes, particularly for populations at geographic range margins. We used a landscape genetics approach to quantify the effects of landscape features on gene flow and connectivity of boreal toad (Bufo boreas) populations from two distinct landscapes in south-east Alaska (Admiralty Island, ANM, and the Chilkat River Valley, CRV). We used two common methodologies for calculating resistance distances in landscape genetics studies (resistance based on least-cost paths and circuit theory). We found a strong effect of saltwater on genetic distance of CRV populations, but no landscape effects were found for the ANM populations. Our discordant results show the importance of examining multiple landscapes that differ in the variability of their features, to maximize detectability of underlying processes and allow results to be broadly applicable across regions. Saltwater serves as a physiological barrier to boreal toad gene flow and affects populations on a small geographic scale, yet there appear to be few other barriers to toad dispersal in this intact northern region.

Methane emissions from sheep pasture,measured with an open‐path eddy covariance system

Methane (CH₄) is an important greenhouse gas, contributing 0.4–0.5 W m^?2 to global warming. Methane emissions originate from several sources, including wetlands, rice paddies, termites and ruminating animals. Previous measurements of methane flux from farm animals have been carried out on animals in unnatural conditions, in laboratory chambers or fitted with cumbersome masks. This study introduces eddy covariance measurements of CH₄, using the newly developed LI‐COR LI‐7700 open‐path methane analyser, to measure field‐scale fluxes from sheep grazing freely on pasture. Under summer conditions, fluxes of methane in the morning averaged 30 nmol m^?2 s^?1, whereas those in the afternoon were above 100 nmol m^?2 s^?1, and were roughly two orders of magnitude larger than the small methane emissions from the soil. Methane emissions showed no clear relationship with air temperature or photosynthetically active radiation, but some diurnal pattern was apparent, probably linked to sheep grazing behaviour and metabolism. Over the measurement period (days 60–277, year 2010), cumulative methane fluxes were 0.34 mol CH₄ m^?2, equating to 134.3 g CO₂ equivalents m^?2. By comparison, a carbon dioxide (CO₂) sink of 819 g CO₂ equivalents m^?2 was measured over the same period, but it is likely that much of this would be released back to the atmosphere during the winter or as off‐site losses (through microbial and animal respiration). By dividing methane fluxes by the number of sheep in the field each day, we calculated CH₄ emissions per head of livestock as 7.4 kg CH₄ sheep^?1 yr^?1, close to the published IPCC emission factor of 8 kg CH₄ sheep^?1 yr^?1.     

Apartment electrical wiring: a cause of extremely low frequency magnetic field exposure in residential areas

Extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MFs) were measured at 696 points in a room of a Japanese apartment building. The building had 124 rooms with layouts and wiring identical to those of the studied room. ELF-MFs exceeded 0.4 microT in 24% of the living space, and the maximum value, 1.8 microT, was detected at floor level. Analysis of the MF distribution revealed that 60 Hz 100 V electrical wiring for room lights within the floor and ceiling had been laid out in large rectangles, equivalent to 1 turn coils. Further plotting of the vertical components every 0.01 m on the floor indicated that the depth of the cable was 0.23 m. Further studies should be conducted in order to confirm that the building investigated in this pilot study is typical of Japanese apartment buildings in terms of ELF-MFs.     

Involvement in K+ access of Leu318 at the extracellular domain flanking M3 and M4 of the Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit

The effect of point mutation in the sequence 316TWLE319, which occurs in the extracellular loop flanking the third (M3) and the fourth (M4) transmembrane segment (L3/4) of the Na+,K+-ATPase alpha-subunit, was examined. Mutation of Glu319 to Asp yielded an enzyme with full activity, whereas substituting Glu319 to Ala resulted in a severe loss of activity. A negative charge was introduced along the sequence, one residue at a time, from Thr316 to Leu318 (by E-scanning) in the mutant construct with Glu319 already mutated to Gln. The activity that had been reduced to 60% by the mutation of Glu319 to Gln was restored upon the introduction of a negative charge by E-scanning. When Leu318 was replaced by Glu in a series of scanning experiments, the K+ sensitivity of the ATPase activity was lowered. The lowering of K+ sensitivity was further demonstrated when a mutation of Leu318 to Glu was introduced into the wild-type enzyme. Furthermore, mutants with Leu318 to Gln, Arg, and Phe displayed lower K+ sensitivity similar to that of Leu318 to Glu mutant. Leu318 may be in access path for K+, and any substitution at this position may interfere with access of K+ from outside the cell.
