三江平原不同湿地类型土壤活性有机碳组分及含量差异

土壤活性有机碳对土壤干扰的反应较快,是土壤有机碳早期变化的敏感性指标。近50年来,三江平原湿地土壤有机碳库受农事活动影响较大。为了探讨不同湿地类型土壤活性有机碳主要组分土壤可溶性有机碳(Dissolved organic carbon,DOC)、微生物量碳(Microbial biomass carbon,MBC)和易氧化有机碳(Easily oxidized organic carbon,EOC)的分布差异及主要影响因子,选择了三江平原洪河自然保护区4种典型的湿地类型(小叶章+沼柳湿地、小叶章湿地、毛苔草湿地和芦苇湿地)为研究对象。分析了不同湿地类型土壤可溶性有机碳,微生物量碳和易氧化有机碳在0—30 cm土层内的分布特征和分配比例及其与有机碳、土壤养分和酶活性指标(蔗糖酶、纤维素酶和过氧化氢酶)之间的相关关系。结果表明:(1)4种湿地类型土壤DOC、MBC和EOC含量均随土层深度的增加而减少。不同湿地类型之间土壤活性有机碳含量在0—30 cm土层内存在显著性差异(P0.05),相对于长期淹水的毛苔草湿地和芦苇湿地而言,未淹水的小叶章+沼柳湿地和小叶章湿地具有较高的DOC,MBC和EOC含量。(2)土壤DOC、MBC和EOC占有机碳比例分别为0.27%—0.63%,1.27%—5.94%和19.63%—41.25%。土壤DOC所占比例呈先增后减的变化趋势,最大的比例均出现在10—20 cm。MBC所占比例在土壤剖面上则未表现出一致的变化规律,而EOC所占比例则随土层深度的增加而逐渐减少。(3)土壤DOC占SOC比例以小叶章湿地最高,MBC和EOC占SOC的比例则以小叶章+沼柳湿地最高。而长期淹水的毛苔草湿地和芦苇湿地则具有更低的DOC,MBC和EOC比例。(4)综合分析表明,4种湿地类型土壤DOC,MBC和EOC两两之间存在极显著相关性关系,它们除了与碳氮比相关性不显著外,与土壤有机碳,全氮,全磷养分和酶活性指标间相关性均达到极显著水平,尤其是与有机碳和全氮的相关性系数更高,此外DOC与纤维素酶,MBC与过氧化氢酶相关性更大。由此可见,土壤碳氮磷养分和酶活性是影响土壤活性有机碳组分分布的重要因素。     

Migration and retention of dissolved iron in three mesocosm wetlands

Three mesocosm wetlands (250 cm × 100 cm × 100 cm) with different wetland plants (Calamgrostis angustifolia, CA, Carex lasiocarpa, CL, and C. angustifolia/C. lasiocarpa mixture, AL, respectively) and hydrologic regimes were set to test migration and retention of exogenous dissolved iron ((NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂of 40 mg Fe(II) L⁻¹) in the Sanjiang Plain Wetland in northeast China. The experiment was designed as two stages: open migration period (OMP) for 1.5 d and close retention period (CRP) for 28.5 d. Based on the outflow Fe(II) concentration during the OMP, retention efficiencies (RE) and iron retention fluxes adjusted by area (RF_ad) in the three mesocosm wetlands were calculated, and the migration of iron were modeled using the first-order kinetic model. Outflow pH decreased gradually from a weak alkaline condition to a weak acid condition during the OMP, and then increased during the CRP, while outflow Eh and DO decreased during the experiment. The three mesocosm wetlands had considerable RE ranging from 75% to 98%, with the averaged RF_ad of 4.31 ± 0.17, 4.20 ± 0.16, and 4.37 ± 0.13 g m⁻² h⁻¹ for CA, CL, and AL, respectively. The reduction conditions in the mesocosm wetlands developed after 4 d or 12 d and the former retained iron during the OMP became mobile and discharged primarily in the form of Fe(III). The first-order kinetic model could simulate the outflow concentration of dissolved iron during the OMP (R² = 0.91, 0.69, and 0.68 for CA, CL, and AL, respectively), while the outflow dissolved iron during the CMP was difficult to model because the changed pH and Eh conditions in the mesocosm wetlands cause the former precipitated iron to be mobile after several days.     

Les cabanes de type « Anosovka-Mézine » du site de Yudinovo : éléments de construction,architecture, classification

The study is focused on comparative analysis of the five dwellings of the Anosov-Mezin type from the East-Epigravettian site of Yudinovo (Bryansk region, Russia). The analysis is based on data on previously unknown structural elements and methods of installation of mammoth skulls in the basement of dwelling N^o 5, which were revealed during excavations in 2015–2018. Apart of this the non-utilitarian actions that accompanied the process of dwellings construction was considered. Based on the revealed differences in structural elements and features, it was suggested that the currently used concept Anosovka-Mezin type of dwellings includes two types of the circular structures made of skulls and large mammoth bones.     

黄淮平原农业景观不同生境鸟类多样性特征及年际动态

鸟类是地球生物多样性中的重要组成部分,在生态系统功能和服务中发挥着重要作用,是生态环境变化的重要指示物种。农业景观中的食虫鸟类提供了重要的虫害控制服务。当前,农业景观中鸟类多样性丧失加剧,为探讨鸟类多样性在各生境以及年际间的变化,以黄淮平原为研究区,在河流、湖泊、农田、村庄等生境中共设置20个样点。于2016-2019年连续4年在繁殖期采用样线法对鸟类进行多样性调查。调查结果显示：（1）共发现22922只个体,分属14目,38科,53属。从区系分布来看,各生境各年间均以广布种为主;从生态类群来看,鸣禽占绝对优势;从居留型来看,留鸟所占比例最高。（2）在食性组成上,从物种丰富度看,食虫鸟类有57种,约占总物种数的77%;从个体数来看,杂食性鸟类占比超52%。（3）物种丰富度、多样性和均匀度指数最高值均出现在湖泊或河流生境中。（4）鸟类群落相似性分析显示,各生境间鸟类群落均为中等相似程度;鸟类物种丰富度波动幅度在农田和村庄中呈逐年上升趋势。（5）物种多样性加性拆分分析显示,在生境尺度上,局地的α多样性是生物多样性的最重要组成,而从整个研究区来看,生境间的差异则更为重要。造成鸟类多样性时空差异的原因复杂多样,而生境异质性的增加和水域的存在对提高鸟类多样性是具有积极作用的。调查中超过77%的物种和40%的个体均为食虫鸟类,应当充分重视鸟类为区域农业景观提供的虫害控制服务。本研究可为区域鸟类多样性保护及鸟类提供的生态系统服务的提升管理提供理论基础和科学依据。     

三江平原湿地开垦对土壤氨基糖积累特征的影响

微生物残体在土壤有机质的形成和稳定过程中发挥着重要作用,但湿地开垦对土壤微生物残体积累特征的影响尚不清楚。本研究以三江平原小叶章湿地为对象,采集原始自然湿地和开垦改种豆科作物后不同耕作年限(5年、10年和25年)的土壤,以氨基糖为微生物残体的标识物,探讨湿地开垦对土壤微生物残体积累特征的影响。结果表明: 自然湿地开垦为农田后显著降低了土壤中氨基糖的含量,且随着开垦年限的增加,氨基糖的损失比例也增加。与自然湿地相比,开垦25年后土壤中的氨基葡萄糖、氨基半乳糖和胞壁酸含量分别下降38.0%、38.1%和35.9%,且在开垦最初5年中细菌来源的胞壁酸下降速率(25.8%)远高于真菌来源的氨基葡萄糖(14.9%),说明短期内湿地开垦对细菌的影响较真菌更加迅速。湿地开垦为农田5、15和25年后,土壤氨基糖总量分别下降21.1%、34.0%和38.0%;同时,氨基糖总量占土壤有机质的比例也受到湿地开垦的显著影响,由自然湿地中的4.8%降至开垦25年后的4.4%。这说明长期湿地开垦加速了土壤有机质中微生物来源有机组分的分解转化,进而改变土壤有机质的组成。这些变化将影响湿地生态系统中土壤有机质的长期稳定和功能演变。     

White-Tailed Deer Foraging Habitat in Intensively Established Loblolly Pine Plantations

ABSTRACT Stand establishment techniques involving multiple herbicide applications are commonly used on industrial pine (Pinus spp.) plantations, raising concern over potential effects on white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) forage production. We tested effects of stand establishment intensity on deer forage in 1–5-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations (n = 4) in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Mississippi using forage biomass and 4 measures of nutritional carrying capacity that reflected crude protein or digestible energy requirements for body maintenance and lactation. We also assessed whether forage biomass combined with a deer use rating effectively indexed nutritional carrying capacity. Treatments were combinations of mechanical site preparation, chemical site preparation (CSP), and herbaceous weed control (HWC). Total forage biomass and forage biomass of grasses and forbs were reduced by broadcast HWC. Forage biomass of vines was reduced both by CSP and by multiple broadcast HWC applications. Maintenance-level carrying capacity estimates were reduced by broadcast HWC; lactation-level estimates were higher in moderate-intensity treatments. We believe the inherently low fertility of this region makes high-quality forage production a more important management priority than increasing forage quantity. Chemical or chemical and mechanical site preparation combined with banded HWC provided the best option for providing both forage quality and quantity in open-canopied, intensively managed pine plantations. Biomass-based indices may be suitable for indexing protein-based maintenance-level carrying capacity in this region, but our results indicated they were not useful for indexing other carrying capacity estimates.     

Assessing Ecoregional-Scale Habitat Suitability Index Models for Priority Landbirds

ABSTRACT Emerging methods in habitat and wildlife population modeling promise new horizons in conservation but only if these methods provide robust population-habitat linkages. We used Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data to verify and validate newly developed habitat suitability index (HSI) models for 40 priority landbird species in the Central Hardwoods and West Gulf Coastal Plain/Ouachitas Bird Conservation Regions. We considered a species’ HSI model verified if there was a significant rank correlation between mean predicted HSI score and mean observed BBS abundance across the 88 ecological subsections within these Bird Conservation Regions. When we included all subsections, correlations verified 37 models. Models for 3 species were unverified. Rank correlations for an additional 5 species were not significant when analyses included only subsections with BBS abundance >0. To validate models, we developed generalized linear models with mean observed BBS abundance as the response variable and mean HSI score and Bird Conservation Region as predictor variables. We considered verified models validated if the overall model was an improvement over an intercept-only null model and the coefficient on the HSI variable in the model was >0. Validation provided a more rigorous assessment of model performance than verification, and models for 12 species that we verified failed validation. Species whose models failed validation were either poorly sampled by BBS protocols or associated with woodland and shrubland habitats embedded within predominantly open landscapes. We validated models for 25 species. Habitat specialists and species reaching their highest densities in predominantly forested landscapes were more likely to have validated models. In their current form, validated models are useful for conservation planning of priority landbirds and offer both insight into limiting factors at ecoregional scales and a framework for monitoring priority landbird populations from readily available national data sets.     

基于模型和物质流分析方法的食物链氮素区域间流动——以黄淮海区为例

研究利用养分流动的方法建立区域氮素流动模型,试图分析氮素养分在区域间的流动状况.以黄淮海区为例,提出氮素调控策略.结果表明: 2005年,黄淮海区化肥、饲料、植物食物和动物食物氮素盈缺率分别为33%、-120%、38%和65%.养分势是区域食物链养分流动的原动力,此外,人口数、城镇化率、耕地面积、GDP、运输距离、运价、市场价格和政府调控等也是影响食物链氮素养分在区域间流动的重要因素.2005年,黄淮海区是化肥、食物氮素的源,而是饲料氮素的汇.北京地区无论化肥、饲料和食物氮素都为汇.北京地区单位耕地承载外地区调入的氮素养分负荷为872 kg/hm2.即使这些养分全部在本区域返还农田还存在很大的环境风险.因此,对环北京都市圈食物链氮素养分应该进行区域间协同管理.
