黄土丘陵区旱地作物水分生态适应性系统评价

根据调查资料和田间试验结果,系统地分析了旱地不同作物生长发育与降水分布的时序关系、旱地作物水分潜在利用率和旱地主要作物水分供需平衡与错位特征,并利用水分生态适应性数学模型,对宁南黄土丘陵区主要作物的水分生态适应性进行了定量评价．结果表明,秋熟作物生长发育与降水分布耦合性较好,夏熟作物生长发育与降水分布耦合性较差．不同作物的降水潜在利用率存在差异。其基本规律是：多年生牧草>薯类作物>谷类作物;秋熟作物>夏熟作物．作物的水分满足率和生态适应性,秋熟作物优于夏熟作物,丰水年份优于干旱年份．旱地6种主要作物的水分生态适应性指数排序依次为：谷子>马铃薯>糜子>胡麻>豌豆>春小麦．     

黄土高原小流域生态-经济重建模式的尺度概念和方法

对黄土高原地区11个水土保持和生态重建科研攻关试验区近20年的研究结果表明,试区设置的区划尺度过粗和小流域治理典型尺度过小,缺乏中尺度研究和不同尺度间模式及内容转换的方法,是典型模式推广不理想的一个重要原因．针对小流域治理在尺度上的局限性,提出相似度尺度推绎和多尺度互补研究等设想,并进行了初步的研究．     

黄土丘陵小流域土壤侵蚀的时空变异及其影响因子

采用土壤侵蚀模型LISEM(Limburg Soil Erosion Model)模拟黄土丘陵沟壑区大南沟小流域5种土地利用格局下立地尺度上土壤侵蚀量的空间分布,从土壤侵蚀量与环境因子的关系分析入手,研究黄土丘陵小流域立地尺度上土壤侵蚀的时空变异性及其影响因子.研究结果表明,立地尺度上平均土壤侵蚀强度以1975年>1998年>退耕格局,可见优化土地利用格局(陡坡农地退耕)可以有效地降低立地尺度上的土壤侵蚀强度.各种土地利用方案下土壤侵蚀强度的空间变异都很显著,相对来说以1975年<1998年<退耕格局,可见优化土地利用格局可以提高土壤侵蚀的空间变异性,降低土壤侵蚀危险的空间聚集度.土壤侵蚀量与降雨呈现显著正相关性,相关性以LU75>LU98>退耕格局,可见合理的土地利用格局可以有效地削弱降雨对土壤侵蚀强度的影响.土地利用方式对土壤侵蚀空间分布具有显著影响.从1975年、1998年到3种退耕格局,陡坡农地退耕还林还草,植被覆盖度增加,林地/灌木地、果园/经济林地、农地和休闲地的平均土壤侵蚀强度都逐渐降低.相关分析表明,林地/灌木地上土壤侵蚀量最小,荒草地相对最严重;果园、休闲地和农地居中.土壤侵蚀强度还存在显著的地形分异.水平凹凸度和相对海拔对土壤侵蚀空间分布的影响比较显著,而坡向、坡度和垂直凹凸度的影响较小.土壤侵蚀强度以水平凸坡大于水平凹坡、垂直凹坡略大于垂直凸坡、偏南坡大于偏北坡、低海拔大于高海拔.对1975年和1998年土地利用格局来说,土壤侵蚀强度以偏西坡大于偏东坡、陡坡大于缓坡;对3种退耕格局而言则正相反.可见,优化土地利用格局(陡坡农地退耕),可以有效地削弱甚至逆转地形对土壤侵蚀强度的影响.

青藏公路沿线白昼交通运输等人类活动对藏羚羊迁徙的影响

To study effects of traffic during daytime and other human activities, we conducted surveys on the migration of Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsoni along the Qinghai-Tibet highway between Kunlun Mountain Pass to Wudaoliang,using line transects (LT) from June to September in 2001 and 2002, Data were collected for 64 days with 17 days in 2001, and 47days in 2002. The Stationary Observation Method (SOM) was also adopted for the investigation of status of the disturbance from traffic when antelopes passing the highway and the traffic situation from August 6 to 28 (6 : 30-19: 00), 4 to 20 (6: 00- 18: 00) and from December 21 to 29 (9：00- 19: 00) in 2002. The results showed that,the period of migration in 2002 was more prolonged than in 2001, and it took at least 45 min for each group to cross the highway, with success ratio of only 30.2 %, and the traffic flow of summer daytime was 76/h, while the winter‘s traffic flow was 29/h. Highway and rail traffic should be managed during daylight hours from June to August, to allow for the migration of the antelopes. Also conservation education and a further survey should be emphasized for the protection on the species [Acta Zoologica Sinica 50 (4) : 669-674, 2004].

Comparative Physiological and Molecular Analyses of Intraspecific Differences of Stipa purpurea (Poaceae) Response to Drought

Stipa purpurea Griseb, the dominant species of alpine steppe, is widely distributed across the large precipitation gradient on the Tibetan Plateau. It is possible that because of local adaptation, Spurpurea populations from different habitats along this precipitation gradient respond differently to drought, which may affect their responses to climate change. To explore the problem, in the present study, we investigated the physiological and molecular response of Spurpurea seedlings from two different populations (Pulan & Cuoqin) to 14 d drought stress and subsequent recovery. The results showed that the relative water content, chlorophyll fluorescence, content of osmoticant proline and malondialdehyde (indicator of oxidative stress), accumulation of reactive oxygen species, antioxidant enzyme activities and the expression of drought related genes all changed under drought treatment and went back to the control levels in the subsequent recovery in plants from Pulan. However, these patterns were quite different in plants from Cuoqin, in which these traits changed by inconsistent degrees and did not return to pretreatment levels after rewatering. The results demonstrated that the plants from Pulan had greater resistance to drought stress compared with those from Cuoqin, which had a larger mortality rate ultimately. Combating the differences of offspring in response to drought and the habitat distribution of parents, we considered that genetic basis has been obtained in response to precipitation difference among Spurpurea populations. The results help to understand the adaptation and evolution of Spurpurea to the special environment and the effect of climate change to this botanical system.     

Phylogeographical Study on Eriophyton wallichii (Labiatae) from Alpine Scree of Qinghai Tibetan Plateau

In this study, we examined the nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence variation of Eriophyton wallichii, a perennial endemic to alpine scree of the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau. Nineteen haplotypes were detected by analyzing 187 individuals from 20 populations of E.wallichii. Most populations hold the unique haplotype, which showed different population with different haplotype. An analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) for populations showed that the genetic variation mainly resided among populations (89.54%), the level of differentiation among populations was very high (GST=0.863; NST=0.957) but didn’t show a significant phylogeographical structure. It is different from foregoing other species reported in Qinghai Tibetan Plateau that the haplotypes of E.wallichii showed a distribution pattern that almost one population hold one unique haplotype, hardly share same halotype among populations.We hypothesized the unique genetic structure of E.wallichii might result from allopatric fragmentation in the “islands of alpine” due to the extremely isolated alpine scree and rough topography of the region, through the Quaternary climate oscillation dramatically caused population expanding or shrinking.     

Chromosome Numbers and Karyotypes of Six Oxytropis Species (Fabaceae) from the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau,China

Chromosome numbers and karyotypes of 13 populations of six Oxytropis species (Fabaceae) from the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau, China, were presented. The chromosome numbers and karyotypes in O.ochrocephala, O.tatarica, O.kansuensis and O.humifusa (2n=16) were reported for the first time. B chromosomes were found from O.stracheyana (2n=48). The basic chromosome number of x=8 is confirmed for the genus. The available chromosomal data indicate that polyploidy may have played an important role in the evolution of the genus, with the incidence of polyploidy in the genus reaching 58%. However, our results indicated that among the populations here examined only one was a hexaploid with 2n=48. Such a chromosomal pattern indicates that the karyotypic repatterning at the diploid level seems to be the predominant feature of chromosomal evolution in the Oxytropis species from the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau, and that sympatric speciation via hybridization and polyploidization has played a minor role in the species diversification of the genus from this area.
