Effects of grazing intensity and grazing exclusion on litter decomposition in the temperate steppe of Nei Mongol,China

Aims Grazing intensity and grazing exclusion affect ecosystem carbon cycling by changing the plant community and soil micro-environment in grassland ecosystems. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine the effects of grazing intensity and grazing exclusion on litter decomposition in the temperate grasslands of Nei Mongol; 2) to compare the difference between above-ground and below-ground litter decomposition; 3) to identify the effects of precipitation on litter production and decomposition. Methods We measured litter production, quality, decomposition rates and soil nutrient contents during the growing season in 2011 and 2012 in four plots, i.e. light grazing, heavy grazing, light grazing exclusion and heavy grazing exclusion. Quadrate surveys and litter bags were used to measure litter production and decomposition rates. All data were analyzed with ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation procedures in SPSS. Important findings Litter production and decomposition rates differed greatly among four plots. During the two years of our study, above-ground litter production and decomposition in heavy-grazing plots were faster than those in light-grazing plots. In the dry year, below-ground litter production and decomposition in light-grazing plots were faster than those in heavy-grazing plots, which is opposite to the findings in the wet year. Short-term grazing exclusion could promote litter production, and the exclusion of light-grazing could increase litter decomposition and nutrient cycling. In contrast, heavy-grazing exclusion decreased litter decomposition. Thus, grazing exclusion is beneficial to the restoration of the light-grazing grasslands, and more human management measures are needed during the restoration of heavy-grazing grasslands. Precipitation increased litter production and decomposition, and below-ground litter was more vulnerable to the inter-annual change of precipitation than above-ground litter. Compared to the light-grazing grasslands, heavy-grazing grasslands had higher sensitivity to precipitation. The above-ground litter decomposition was strongly positively correlated with the litter N content (R² = 0.489, p < 0.01) and strongly negatively correlated with the soil total N content (R² = 0.450, p < 0.01), but it was not significantly correlated with C:N and lignin:N. Below-ground litter decomposition was negatively correlated with the litter C (R² = 0.263, p < 0.01), C:N (R² = 0.349, p < 0.01) and cellulose content (R² = 0.460, p < 0.01). Our results will provide a theoretical basis for ecosystem restoration and the research of carbon cycling.     

应用肠道内含物定量评价天敌捕食作用的方法

【目的】自然天敌在农田生态系统中发挥着重要的生物功能,明确捕食性天敌对害虫猎物的控制能力是充分发挥天敌控制作用的前提。【方法】本文基于肠道内含物分子检测方法,以华北花生与玉米组成的微景观系统中的花生/玉米-花生蚜-龟纹瓢虫为研究主线,对龟纹瓢虫Propylaeajaponica肠道内含物进行了分子检测。【结果】结合室内和大田取样两种途径,通过测定龟纹瓢虫肠道内含物中花生蚜的阳性检出率,显示龟纹瓢虫体内检测到花生蚜的扩增,阳性检出率最高时达到26.25%。【结论】基于天敌肠道内含物的分子标记技术可作为定量评价田间实际天敌控害作用的有效方法之一,玉米作为功能植物(作物)可通过涵养天敌瓢虫实现对花生蚜的控制作用。

蚕豆根尖细胞微核试验——Ⅴ.经二甲基肼处理的小鼠粪便诱变效应及抗诱变效应

昆明种小鼠随机分为4组,3组皮下注射二甲基肼(DMH),并分别饮用自来水,嗜酸性乳酸菌Shahani菌株发酵奶及牛奶。第4组为溶剂乙二胺四乙酸二钠盐(EDTA)对照组。在实验第20周,用蚕豆根尖细胞微核试验检测各组小鼠粪便乙醚提取物的诱变及抗诱变性能。结果发现:DMH饮自来水组小鼠粪便提取物有明显诱变性,并有显著的剂量效应关系;发酵奶能明显抑制DMH处理小鼠粪便的诱变性;诱变性和大肠肿瘤发生有关。我们认为Shahani菌株发酵奶可作为抗结肠癌的饮食。蚕豆根尖细胞微核试验可作为一种新的简便及可靠的粪便诱变性检测途径。
