典型喀斯特地区石漠化景观格局对土地利用变化的响应

土地利用是人类活动最基本的表现形式,探讨石漠化与土地利用变化之间的响应关系,对于石漠化治理和区域的可持续发展是非常重要的。基于贵州道真县2005年、2015年LANDSAT和石漠化数据,再利用ENVI 5.3进行监督分类,将道真县土地利用分为8种类型。通过景观格局空间分析技术和3S技术,对道真县土地利用时空演变和石漠化景观格局进行综合分析,结果表明:(1) 2005—2015年间,道真县建设用地和灌木林地面积增加,大部分灌木林地由水田和旱地转化而来,其面积增加了7.51%,建设用地增加了1.30%。(2)近10年间,研究区石漠化等级间的转移表现为轻、中、重度转化为潜在石漠化,其斑块转移面积分别为11.26、38.79、2.71 km2,表明研究区石漠化景观得到了恢复,低等级石漠化斑块面积增加,降低了原有高等级石漠化斑块的优势度。(3) 2005—2015年间道真县土地利用和石漠化景观格局,多样性指数分别下降了0.6434和2.4309,均匀度指数各减少了0.0552和0.5436,分维度指数各提高了0.0061和0.0801,蔓延度指数各增加0.1751、25.5396和聚合度指数分别增加1.8688和2.9112,景观形状指数分别减少0.9812和4.536,石漠化景观格局的变化对应土地利用景观格局指数的变化,随着人们土地利用方式的改变,石漠化也发生相应的改变。通过该研究的进行,有助于提高人们对石漠化和土地利用景观格局的认识,基于景观生态学背景对石漠化治理成效进行评估,为之后的石漠化治理工作的进行及研究提供了参考。     

产蛋白酶菌株的筛选、鉴定及水解菜粕蛋白能力

以筛选产蛋白酶菌株水解菜粕蛋白生产氨基酸为研究目的,利用牛奶、豆浆等选择性培养基,从土壤、水体等自然环境以及家禽内脏中分离到可利用蛋白质菌株90余株.通过菌株对菜粕蛋白利用及水解能力的研究,筛选出2株具有高效水解菜粕蛋白产氨基酸的菌株,分别编号为K11和G12.经形态学观察和16S rDNA序列分析,初步鉴定K11为短小芽胞杆菌(Bacillus pumilus),G12为嗜麦芽寡养单胞菌(Stenotrophomonas maltrophilia).发酵实验表明,2株细菌具有高效水解菜粕蛋白的能力,发酵后菜粕中游离氨基酸最大含量达到8.2％,研究所得菌株对于利用菜粕蛋白资源具有非常重要的意义.     

Agreement between parent-reports and child self-reports of sleep problems in Chinese children

Sleep problems are major concerns for parents, health professionals, and children and youths themselves. For assessing sleep problems, both parent and child reports are important, with each having its unique features. However, little is known about the correlates of the agreement between parent and child self-reports. This study evaluated the agreement between the youth self-report sleep questionnaire (YSRSQ) and the parent-reported children’s sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ) and assessed the associated sociodemographic factors, as well as the underlying discrepancies. The participants included 3143 pairs of Chinese preadolescents (mean age = 11.03, SD = 0.98) and parents. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), daytime sleepiness, and parasomnia were assessed by both the YSRSQ and CSHQ. Significant but low correlations were present between parent report and preadolescent self-report items on SDB problems, daytime sleepiness, and parasomnias. Although the agreement between SDB symptoms and parasomnias was stronger for girls than for boys, the degree of concordance between SDB symptoms and parasomnia increased with preadolescent age, with the highest agreement achieved among preadolescents aged 12 years or older for SDB problems and 11 years or older for parasomnias. Findings underscore the importance of utilizing both parental and preadolescent self-reports in accurately assessing and diagnosing sleep impairment in pediatric samples.

     

Using predictive models to estimate effects of flow regulation on net-spinning caddis larvae in North Swedish rivers

1. Effects of flow regulation on abundance and richness of net-spinning caddis larvae (Hydropsychoidea; Trichoptera) were examined in fifty-two North Swedish rivers. Models based on conditions at unregulated sites were used to predict densities at impacted sites and the residuals, i.e. the differences between observed and predicted numbers, were used as measures of the effects.
2. Two broad categories of impacted sites were identified. Sites with regulated but unreduced flow often have reduced seasonal flow variation and slightly enhanced short-term variation, while those with reduced flow usually have long periods of low and stable flow occasionally interrupted by short periods of violently fluctuating flow.
3. The abundance of net-spinning caddis larvae was significantly lower than predicted at both types of sites (reduction 30%), while richness was significantly reduced only at sites with reduced flow (reduction 20%).
4. A subsequent analysis of the relationship between the effects and variables altered by flow regulations, e.g. flow magnitude and flow variation, indicated that species richness was primarily affected by the occurrence of periods with zero flow, while negative effects of abundance were associated with high flow variability.
5. Significant negative effects on the abundance of individual taxa were observed for Cheumatopsyche lepida and Hydropsyche pellucidula at sites with regulated but unreduced flow.
6. Analyses of the relationships between the effects and regulation-related variables suggest that H. siltalai was significantly negatively affected by the occurrence of zero flow and that negative effects on Arctopsyche ladogensis were associated with flow reduction and high flow variability.     

A new species of Clivia (Amaryllidaceae) endemic to the Pondoland Centre of Endemism, South Africa

Clivia robusta B.G. Murray, Ran, de Lange, Hammett, Truter et Swanevelder sp. nov. (Amaryllidaceae) is a tubular, pendulous-flowered Clivia species, restricted to the Pondoland Centre of Endemism, South Africa. The unique morphology, distribution, karyotype and molecular fingerprint distinguish it from all other pendulous-flowered species in the genus.  © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2004, 146 , 369–374.     

气候变化对邛崃山系大熊猫主食竹和栖息地分布的影响

气候变化对生物多样性的影响,特别是珍稀濒危物种的影响是当前的研究热点。全球气候变化对大熊猫的影响一直受到广泛关注。根据野外调查的大熊猫活动痕迹点、竹类分布点和主食竹扩散距离数据,采用Maxent模型,利用植被、地形、气候等因素,在RCP8.5下分析了2050年和2070年邛崃山系大熊猫主食竹分布及栖息地变化趋势。结果显示:(1)未来大熊猫适宜生境及主食竹气候适宜区面积均有所减少,到2070年分别减少37.2%和4.7%;(2)未来主食竹分布范围总体向高海拔扩展,但面积持续减少,到2070年分布面积比当前减少8.3%;(3)大熊猫栖息地未来有向高海拔扩张的趋势,在低海拔地区退缩明显,到2070年较当前减少27.2%;但到2070年大熊猫栖息地面积加上非栖息地有主食竹分布的面积,较现有大熊猫栖息地面积大1.5%;(4)受气候变化影响较严重的区域是邛崃山系南部以及低海拔地区,其余区域所受影响相对较小;(5)未来需要加强对受气候变化影响严重区域的监测与保护,特别是邛崃山系中部的大熊猫集中分布区。
