A model is described in which neural activity is represented by a field quantity ϕ, with the neurons as the sources of ϕ.
It is shown that, with certain physically realistic assumptions, ϕ satisfies a moderately nonlinear differential equation.
It is also found that this equation is isotropic and of second order if and only if the neuronal connectivity has a dependence

Correlation of anaerobic biodegradability and the electrochemical
characteristic of azo dyes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Some experiments were conducted to study some electrochemical factors affecting the bacterial reduction (cleavage) of azo dyes, knowledge of which will be useful in the wastewater treatments of azo dyes. A common mixed culture was used as a test organism and the reductions of Acid Yellow 4, 11, 17 and Acid Yellow BIS were studied. It was found that the azo dyes were reduced at different rates, which could be correlated with the reduction potential of the azo compounds in cyclic voltammetric experiments. Acid Yellow BIS (E
r − 616.75 mV) was reduced at the highest rate of 0.0284 mol g dry cell weight−1 h−1, Acid Yellow 11 (E
r − 593.25 mV) at 0.0245 mol g dry cell weight−1 h−1 and Acid Yellow 4 (E
r − 513 mV) at 0.0178 mol g dry cell weight−1 h−1. At the same time, the decolourization rate of Acid Yellow 17 (E
r − 627.5 mV) was 0.0238 mol g dry cell weight−1 h−1, which was affected by the nature of chlorine substituent. Reduction of these azo dyes did not occur under aeration conditions. These studies with a common mixed culture indicate that the reduction of azo dyes may be influenced by the chemical nature of the azo compound. The reduction potential is a preliminary tool to predict the decolourization capacity of oxidative and reductive biocatalysts. 相似文献

Critical levels of selenium in raya (Brassica juncea Czern L.), maize (Zea mays L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) were worked out by growing these crops in an alkaline silty loam soil treated with different levels of selenite-Se ranging
from 1 to 25 μg g−1 soil. Significant decrease in dry matter yield was observed above a level of 5 μg Se g−1 soil in raya and maize; 4 μg Se g−1 soil in wheat and 10 μg Se g−1 soil in rice shoots. The critical level of Se in plants above which significant decrease in yield would occur was found to
be 104.8 μg g−1 in raya, 76.9 μg g−1 in maize, 41.5 μg g−1 in rice and 18.9 μg g−1 in wheat shoots. Significant coefficients of correlation were observed between Se content above the critical level and dry
matter yield of raya as well as rice (r = −0.99, P ≤ 0.01), wheat (r = −0.97, P ≤ 0.01) and maize ((r = −0.96, P ≤ 0.01). A synergistic relationship was observed between S and Se content of raya (r = 0.96, P ≤ 0.01), wheat (r = 0.89, P ≤ 0.01), rice (r = 0.85, P ≤ 0.01) and maize (r = 0.84, P ≤ 0.01). Raya, maize and rice absorbed Se in levels toxic for animal consumption (i.e. > 5 mg Se kg−1) when the soil was treated with more than 1.5 μg Se g−1. In case of wheat, application of Se more than 3 μg g−1 soil resulted in production of toxic plants. 相似文献

Bdelloid rotifers are basal consumers in aquatic and limnoterrestrial communities that feed primarily on small bacteria. Unfortunately,
we know only a little of the role they play in the trophic dynamics in some unusual habitats they inhabit. Habrotrocha thienemanni is a typical example; it is a typical tree-hole inhabitant, commonly achieving dense populations. Filtering rates of H. thienemanni were estimated using fluorescent microspheres of a size close to natural bacterial community (0.5 μm in diameter) at two
temperatures (15 and 20°C). This microspheres artificial food had been coated with BSA protein. Mean clearance rates of this
rotifer varied between 1.65 and 3.79 μl ind−1 h−1 under different temperatures. Uptake of particles coated with protein was significantly higher than that on uncoated particles
(t = 2.85; P = 0.005). Particle uptake also was correlated to the body size of the animal (r = 0.44; P = 0.004,). The clearance rate of the natural H. thienemanni population (56,800 ind l−1) ranged from 981 to 5170 ml l−1 d−1. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to assess the effect of leaf thickness, leaf succulence (LS), specific leaf area (SLA), specific leaf mass (Ws) and leaf water content (LWC) on chlorophyll (Chl) meter values in six Amazonian tree species (Carapa guianensis, Ceiba pentandra, Cynometra spruceana, Pithecolobium inaequale, Scleronema micranthum and Swietenia macrophylla). We also tested the accuracy of a general calibration equation to convert Minolta Chl meter (SPAD-502) readings into absolute Chl content. On average, SPAD values (x) increased with fresh leaf thickness (FLT [μm] = 153.9 +
0.98 x, r
2 = 0.06**), dry leaf thickness (DLT [μm] = 49.50 + 1.28 x, r
2 = 0.16**), specific leaf mass (Ws [g (DM) m−2] = 6.73 + 1.31 x, r
2 = 0.43**), and leaf succulence (LS [g(FM)] m−2 = 94.2 + 1.58 x, r
2 = 0.19**). However, a negative relationship was found between SPAD values and either specific leaf area [SLA (m2 kg−1) = 35.1 − 0.37 x, r
2 = 0.38**] or the leaf water content (LWC [%]= 80.0 − 0.42 x, r
2 = 0.58**). Leaf Chl contents predicted by the general calibration equation significantly differed (p<0.01) from those estimated by species-specific calibration equations. We conclude that to improve the accuracy of the SPAD-502 leaf thickness and LWC should be taken into account when calibration equations are to be obtained to convert SPAD values
into absolute Chl content. 相似文献

The present study examines relative growth rate (RGR) and its determinants in seedlings of nine Eucalyptus species. Species were selected from mesic (1,800 mm a−1 rainfall) through to semi-arid habitats (300 mm a−1), and thus, notionally vary in “stress” tolerance. Seedlings were grown in a glasshouse during early summer and received
between 33 mol and 41 mol PAR m−2 day−1 . The mean RGR varied among species—from a minimum of 66 mg g−1 day−1 in E. hypochlamydea to a maximum of 106 mg g−1 day−1 in E. delegatensis. RGR was positively related to rainfall at the sites of seed collection. Neither specific leaf area (SLA) nor net assimilation
rate was related to rainfall or RGR. While the absence of relationships with SLA and net assimilation rate contrasts with
other studies and species, we cannot rule out the effects of sample size (n=9 species) and modest ranges in SLA and RGR. The ratio of leaf mass to total mass (LMR) varied from 0.49±0.07 g g−1 in E. socialis to 0.74±0.04 g g−1 in E. delegatensis and was strongly positively related with rainfall (r
2=0.77). Interspecific differences in RGR were strongly related to LMR (positive relationship, r
2=0.50) and the rate of dry matter production per mol of leaf nitrogen (positive relationship, r
2=0.64). Hence, the slow RGR of low-rainfall species was functionally related to a lower growth rate per mol of leaf nitrogen
than high-rainfall species. Furthermore, slow RGR of low-rainfall species was related to greater allocation to roots at the
expense of leaves. Increasing allocation to roots versus leaves is likely an adaptation to soil and atmospheric water deficits,
but one that comes at the expense of a slow RGR. 相似文献

The organophosphorous insecticide acephate was tested for its ability to induce in vitro cytogenetic effect in human peripheral
lymphocytes by using the chromosomal aberrations (CAs), sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronuclei (MN) assay. The level
of nuclear DNA damage of acephate was evaluated by using the comet assay. Concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μg mL−1 of acephate were used. All concentrations of acephate induced significant increase in the frequency of CAs and in the formation
of MN dose dependently (r = 0.92 at 24 h, r = 0.95 at 48 h for CAs, r = 0.87 for MN). A significant increase was observed in induction of SCE at 50, 100 and 200 μg mL−1 concentrations during 24 h treatment and at all concentrations (except 12.5 μg mL−1) during 48 h treatment period in a dose-dependent manner (r = 0.84 at 24 h, r = 0.88 at 48 h). Acephate did not affect the replicative index and cytokinesis-block proliferation index (CBPI). However,
it significantly decreased the mitotic index at all three highest concentrations (50, 100, 200 μg mL−1) for 24 h treatment and at all concentrations (except 12.5 μg mL−1) for 48 h treatment, dose-dependently (r = 0.94 at 24 h, r = 0.92 at 48 h). A significant increase in mean comet tail length was observed at 100 and 200 μg mL−1 concentrations compared with negative control in a concentration-dependent manner (r = 0.94). The mean comet tail intensity was significantly increased at only 200 μg mL−1 concentration. The present results indicate that acephate is a clastogenic, cytotoxic agent and it causes DNA damage at high
concentrations in human lymphocytes in culture. 相似文献

Formulas are derived for the mean and variance of the number of radioactive atoms present in a compartment (or urn). Initally,n
1 radioactive atoms andb stable atoms are placed in the urn; and subsequently,r stable atoms are added and an equal number,r, of a random mixture of stable and radioactive atoms is removed per unit time. The expected number of radioactive atoms,E(t), present at timet is, as expected,n
1 e−λt where λ=(r/Δt)/(b+r+n
1). The relative variance, σ2(t)/n
1
2
, vanishes to zero forr=1, atoms per unit time and for a large number ofn
1 radioactive atoms; but for a large number of bothr andn
1 atoms the relative variance is ∼e
−λt
, equal to the fractional retention, fort>1/λ. Thus in studies where radionuclides are injected into animals and a single compartment represents the data, if a large
variance is observed it might be due to the fact that large numbers of atoms are transferred out in unit time. When a small
variance is observed, this is probably due to the fact that few atoms are transferred in smaller units of time (such that
λ is the same in both cases).

Leaf yellowing is a major problem in Alstroemeria and absence of leaf senescence symptoms is an important quality attribute. Two Alstroemeria cultivars ‘Yellow King’ and ‘Marina’ were sourced from a commercial farm and harvested when sepals began to reflex. Stems
were re-cut under water and kept in vase solutions of gibberellin A4+7 (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 or 15.0 mg l−1 [Provider]). Treatments and cultivars were combined in a factorial fashion and arranged in a completely randomised design. Application
of GA4+7 in the holding solution at 2.5–10.0 mg l−1 significantly delayed the onset of leaf senescence by around 7 days and significantly increased days to 50% petal fall by
ca. 2 days. Additionally, these GA4+7 concentrations resulted in higher retention of leaf nitrogen, leaf chlorophyll and also increased leaf water content, while
reducing leaf dry weight, all relative to untreated controls. Cultivar ‘Yellow King’ had significantly longer vase life and
a better retention of leaf quality than ‘Marina’. Our results suggest that a concentration of 10 mg l−1 GA4+7 can be used to prolong vase life, delay leaf senescence and enhance post-harvest quality of Alstroemeria cut flowers during their transport to market. 相似文献

The objective of this work was to determine (1) the effect of rotational speed (N) and lifters on the oxygen transfer coefficient (k
L) of a mineral solution and (2) the effect of solids concentration of a slurry soil-mineral solution on k
L, at a fixed value N (0.25 s−1); in both cases the treatment was carried out in an aerated rotating drum reactor (RDR) operated at atmospheric pressure. First, the k
L for the mineral solution was in the range 6.38 × 10−4–7.69 × 10−4 m s−1, which was of the same order of magnitude as those calculated for closed rotating drums supplied with air flow. In general, k
L of RDR implemented with lifters was superior or equal to that of RDR without lifters. For RDR implemented with lifters, k
L increased with N in the range 6.65 × 10−4–10.51 × 10−4 m s−1, whereas k
L of RDR without lifters first increased with N up to N = 0.102 s−1, and decreased beyond this point. Second, regarding soil slurry experiments, an abrupt fall of k
L (ca. 50%) at low values of the solid concentration (C
v) and an asymptotic pattern at high C
v were observed at N = 0.25 s−1. These results suggest that mass transfer phenomena were commanded by the slurry properties and a semi-empirical equation of the form Sh = f(Re, Sc) seems to corroborate this finding. 相似文献

Effects of NaCl salinity on the population dynamics of freshwater zooplankton (rotifers and cladocerans) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Salinization of freshwater bodies due to anthropogenic activity is currently a very serious problem in Mexico. One of the consequences may be changes in the rotifer and cladoceran populations, both of which are generally abundant in freshwater bodies. Under laboratory conditions we evaluated the effect of different salt (sodium chloride) concentrations (0–4.5 g l−1) on the population dynamics of ten freshwater zooplankton species (rotifers: Anuraeopsis fissa, Brachionus calyciflorus, B. havanaensis, B. patulus and B. rubens; cladocerans: Alona rectangula, Ceriodaphnia dubia, Daphnia pulex, Moina macrocopa and Simocephalus vetulus). All of the zooplankton species tested were adversely affected by 1.5–3.0 g l−1 NaCl. In the range of salt concentrations tested, the population growth curves of B. patulus and B. rubens showed almost no lag phase and reached peak abundances within a week or two; A. fissa had a lag phase of about a week, while both B. calyciflorus and B. havanaensis started to increase in abundance immediately following the initiation of the experiments. Increased NaCl levels reduced the population abundances of A. fissa, B. calyciflorus and B. havanaensis at or beyond 1.5 g l−1. NaCl at 1 g l−1 had little effect on the population growth of cladocerans. M. macrocopa, which was more resistant to NaCl than the other cladoceran species, showed positive population growth even at 4.5 g l−1. The rates of population increase (r, day−1) were generally higher for rotifers than for cladocerans. Depending on the NaCl concentration, the r of rotifers ranged from +0.57 to −0.58 day−1, while the r for cladocerans was lower (+0.34 to −0.22 day−1). 相似文献

The relaxation rates (1 / T
1 and 1 / T
2) in cysts have already been analyzed in terms of materials such as albumin, cholesterol, manganese, iron, and copper. However,
the relaxivities of these materials have not been determined yet. In this work, five sets containing the ions, albumin, and
cholesterol were prepared by addition of increasing concentration of one material to each set. The relaxation times in these
sets were measured by MRI, and the relaxation rates were fitted versus concentrations. The slopes of the fits were used as
relaxivities. The (r
1, r
2) values of manganese, iron, and copper in mM−1 s−1, and those of albumin and cholesterol in (g/dl)−1 s−1 were found to be (32.64, 89.77), (0.31, 1.19), (0.5, 1.479), (0.01, 0.066) and (0.03, 0.458), respectively. The r
2/r
1 ratio ranged from 2.75 to 15.27. Manganese is an efficient relaxer, but iron and copper are poor ones. Albumin and cholesterol
are efficient relaxers for only T
2. The contribution of water associated with native manganese of the cystic fluid to T
1 was 0.268 s−1, whereas those of water associated with native manganese, albumin, cholesterol, and iron to T
2 were 0.736, 0.185, 0.092, and 0.076 s−1, respectively. The other contributions were much smaller than 0.076 s−1. Manganese is most likely the compound altering T
1-weighted images between different jaw cysts, whereas manganese and albumin are most likely the compounds altering the T
2-weighted images. Present data suggest that such alterations may be used to separate jaw cysts from other jaw masses. The
high r
2/r
1 suggests that T
2 is a more convenient parameter than T
1 for diagnostic use.

Soil Nutrients Limit Fine Litter Production and Tree Growth in Mature Lowland Forest of Southwestern Borneo 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Efforts to improve models of terrestrial productivity and to understand the function of tropical forests in global carbon
cycles require a mechanistic understanding of spatial variation in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) across tropical
landscapes. To help derive such an understanding for Borneo, we monitored aboveground fine litterfall, woody biomass increment
and ANPP (their sum) in mature forest over 29 months across a soil nutrient gradient in southwestern Kalimantan. In 30 (0.07 ha)
plots stratified throughout the watershed (∼340 ha, 8–190 m a.s.l.), we measured productivity and tested its relationship
with 27 soil parameters. ANPP across the study area was among the highest reported for mature lowland tropical forests. Aboveground
fine litterfall ranged from 5.1 to 11.0 Mg ha−1 year−1 and averaged 7.7 ± 0.4 (mean ± 95 C.I.). Woody biomass increment ranged from 5.8 to 23.6 Mg ha−1 year−1 and averaged 12.0 ± 2.0. Growth of large trees (≥60 cm dbh) contributed 38–82% of plot-wide biomass increment and explained
92% of variation among plots. ANPP, the sum of these parameters, ranged from 11.1 to 32.3 Mg ha−1 year−1 and averaged 19.7 ± 2.2. ANPP was weakly related to fine litterfall (r
2 = 0.176), but strongly related to growth of large trees at least 60 cm dbh (r
2 = 0.848). Adjusted ANPP after accounting for apparent “mature forest bias” in our sampling method was 17.5 ± 1.2 Mg ha−1 year−1.Relating productivity measures to soil parameters showed that spatial patterning in productivity was significantly related
to soil nutrients, especially phosphorus (P). Fine litterfall increased strongly with extractable P (r
2 = 0.646), but reached an asymptote at moderate P levels, whereas biomass increment (r
2 = 0.473) and ANPP (r
2 = 0.603) increased linearly across the gradient. Biomass increment of large trees was more frequently and strongly related to
nutrients than small trees, suggesting size dependency of tree growth on nutrients. Multiple linear regression confirmed the
leading importance of soil P, and identified Ca as a potential co-limiting factor. Our findings strongly suggest that (1)
soil nutrients, especially P, limit aboveground productivity in lowland Bornean forests, and (2) these forests play an important,
but changing role in carbon cycles, as canopy tree logging alters these terrestrial carbon sinks.

Although fine roots might account for 50% of the annual net primary productivity in moist tropical forests, there are relatively
few studies of fine-root dynamics in this biome. We examined fine-root distributions, mass, growth and tissue N and C concentrations
for six tree species established in 16-year-old plantations in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica in a randomized-block
design (n = 4). The study included five native species (Hyeronima alchorneoides, Pentaclethra macroloba, Virola koschnyi, Vochysia ferruginea and Vochysia guatemalensis) and one exotic (Pinus patula). Under all species >60% of the total fine-root mass to 1 m deep was located in the uppermost 15 cm of the soil. Fine-root
live biomass and necromass (i.e., the mass of dead fine-roots) varied significantly among species but only within the uppermost
15 cm, with biomass values ranging from 182 g m−2 in Pinus to 433 g m−2 in Hyeronima plots, and necromass ranging from 48 g m−2 in Pinus to 183 g m−2 in Virola plots. Root growth, measured using ingrowth cores, differed significantly among species, ranging from 304 g m−2 year−1 in Pinus to 1,308 g m−2 year−1 in Hyeronima. These growth rates were one to five times those reported for moist temperate areas. Turnover rates of fine-root biomass
ranged from 1.6 to 3.0 year−1 in Virola and Hyeronima plots, respectively. Fine-root biomass was significantly and positively correlated with fine-root growth (r = 0.79, P < 0.0001), but did not correlate with fine-root turnover (r = 0.10, P = 0.20), suggesting that fine-root accumulation is a function of growth rate rather than mortality. Fine-root longevity was
not correlated (r = 0.20, P = 0.34) and growth was negatively correlated with root N concentration across species (r = −0.78, P < 0.0001), contrary to reported trends for leaves, perhaps because N was relatively abundant at this site. 相似文献

Colocalization between caveolin isoforms in the intestinal smooth muscle and interstitial cells of Cajal of the Cav1+/+ and Cav1−/− mouse 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Confocal microscopic images were obtained from the immunohistochemical sections of jejeunum to determine the localization/colocalization between caveolin-1, caveolin-2 and caveolin-3 in intestinal smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) of Cav1+/+ and Cav1−/− mouse. Intestinal regions were segmented [inner circular muscle (icm), outer circular muscle (ocm), myenteric plexus region (mp), and longitudinal muscle (lm)] by LSM 5 and analyzed by ImageJ to show Pearson’s correlation (r
p) and overlap coefficient (r) of colocalization. In the intestine of Cav1+/+, caveolin-1 (cav1) was colocalized with caveolin-2 (cav2) and caveolin-3 (cav3). Cav2 also was well colocalized with cav3. In the intestine of Cav1−/−, cav1 and cav2 were absent in all images, but reduced cav3 was expressed in ocm. Caveolae were present in cell types with cav1 in Cav1+/+, and present with cav3 in ocm of Cav1−/−. C-kit occurred in deep muscular plexus (ICC-DMP) and myenteric plexus (ICC-MP), in both Cav1+/+ and Cav1−/−, and colocalized with cav1 and cav2 in the intestine of Cav1+/+. Cav3 was absent/present at low immunoreactivity in ICC-DMP and ICC-MP of the intestines of Cav1+/+ and Cav1−/−. To conclude, cav1 is necessary for the expression of cav2 in SMC and ICC of intestine and facilitates, but is not necessary for the expression of cav3. 相似文献

Oxygen evolution per single-turnover flash (STF) or multiple-turnover pulse (MTP) was measured with a zirconium O2 analyzer from sunflower leaves at 22°C. STF were generated by Xe arc lamp, MTP by red LED light of up to 18000 μmol quanta m−2 s−1. Ambient O2 concentration was 10–30 ppm, STF and MTP were superimposed on far-red background light in order to oxidize plastoquinone
(PQ) and randomize S-states. Electron (e−) flow was calculated as 4 times O2 evolution. Q
A → Q
B electron transport was investigated firing double STF with a delay of 0 to 2 ms between the two. Total O2 evolution per two flashes equaled to that from a single flash when the delay was zero and doubled when the delay exceeded
2 ms. This trend was fitted with two exponentials with time constants of 0.25 and 0.95 ms, equal amplitudes. Illumination
with MTP of increasing length resulted in increasing O2 evolution per pulse, which was differentiated with an aim to find the time course of O2 evolution with sub-millisecond resolution. At the highest pulse intensity of 2.9 photons ms−1 per PSII, 3 e− initially accumulated inside PSII and the catalytic rate of PQ reduction was determined from the throughput rate of the fourth
and fifth e−. A light response curve for the reduction of completely oxidized PQ was a rectangular hyperbola with the initial slope of
1.2 PSII quanta per e− and V
m of 0.6 e− ms−1 per PSII. When PQ was gradually reduced during longer MTP, V
m decreased proportionally with the fraction of oxidized PQ. It is suggested that the linear kinetics with respect to PQ are
apparent, caused by strong product inhibition due to about equal binding constants of PQ and PQH2 to the Q
B site. The strong product inhibition is an appropriate mechanism for down-regulation of PSII electron transport in accordance
with rate of PQH2 oxidation by cytochrome b6f. 相似文献

Data from four components of the radiation balance were used to investigate the surface energy budgets for a Carex lasiocarpa mire in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China, and the controlling factors of the evapotranspiration (ET) were discussed in
detail. During the growing season 2006, the shortwave radiation (SW↓) reaching the mire surface added up to 2,854.3 MJ m−2 and the net radiation (Rn) was 1,637.4 MJ m−2 in total, with an average of 9.86 MJ m−2 day−1. G was the smallest flux at the water-atmosphere interface, with an average of about 0.91 MJ m−2 day−1, but showed high relative variability, even changing its sign. The latent and sensible heat fluxes (LE and H) amounted to 787.48 and 476.26 MJ m−2, respectively, and the total sum of LE and H accounted for 77.18% of Rn. By conversion from LE, the average value of ET from the mire was 1.84 mm day−1, amounting to 298.8 mm. The total ET was almost 60% of the total rainfall in the same period, proving that ET is the primary
water consumer in the mire. The growth of C. lasiocarpa was related closely with surface resistance (r
s), and analysis of partial correlation indicated that r
s correlated negatively with leaf area index (LAI) when the interference of the available energy, Rn-G, was removed. There was a strong linkage between r
s and the evaporative fraction [LE/(LE + H)] as well as Bowen ratio (β). r
s was the key factor in controlling the variation of ET and regulating energy partitioning between LE and H. During the whole growing season, r
s and R
n−G were the two main factors coupled in ET processes. In spring, r
s dominated ET processes, and the increase in LAI led to a decrease in r
s, which in turn accelerated ET as vegetation developed until late August. After August, the available energy controlled the
process of ET completely until ET reached an equilibrium in mid-October. 相似文献

N2O emission from soil following combined application of fertiliser-N and ground weed residues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Emissions of N2O and CO2 were measured following combined applications of 15N-labelled fertiliser (100 μg N g−1; 10 atom % excess 15N) and organic olive crop weed residues (Avena sativa, Ononis viscosa, Ridolfia segetum and Olea europea; 100 μg N g−1) to a silt loam soil under controlled environment conditions. The objective was to determine the effect of varying combinations
of inorganic fertiliser and plant residues on these emissions and soil mineral N dynamics. Emissions were generally increased
following application of residues alone, with 23 ng N2O–N g−1 soil (2 ng N2O–N g−1 soil mg−1 biomass) and 389 μg CO2–C g−1 soil (39 μg CO2–C g−1 soil mg−1 biomass) emitted over 28 days after addition of the Ridolfia residues in the absence of fertiliser-N. N2O emissions from these residue-only treatments were strongly negatively correlated with residue lignin content (r = −0.91; P < 0.05), total carbon content (r = −0.90; P < 0.05) and (lignin + polyphenol)-to-N ratio (r = −0.70; P < 0.1). However, changes in the net input of these compounds through application of 25:75, 50:50 and 75:25 proportional mixtures
of Avena and Ononis residues had no effect on emissions compared to their single (0:100 or 100:0) applications. Addition of fertiliser-N increased
emissions (by up to 30 ng N2O–N g−1 28 days−1; 123%), particularly from the low residue-N treatments (Avena and Ridolfia) where a greater quantity of biomass was applied, resulting in emissions above that of the sum from the unfertilised residue
and fertilised control treatments. In contrast, fertiliser application had no impact on emissions from the Olea treatment with the highest polyphenol (2%) and lignin (11%) contents due to strong immobilisation of soil N, and the 15N–N2O data indicated that residue quality had no effect on the denitrification of applied fertiliser-N. Such apparent inconsistencies
mean that before the potential for manipulating N input (organic + inorganic) to lower gaseous N losses can be realised, first
the nature and extent of interactions between the different N sources and any interactions with other compounds released from
the residues need to be better understood. 相似文献

To assess the energetics of migration in an anadromous fish, adult American shad (Alosa sapidissima) were swum in a large respirometer at a range of speeds (1.0–2.3 body lengths (BL) s−1, 13–24 °C). Metabolic rate (MO2) was logarithmically related to swimming speed (Bl s−1; r
2 = 0.41, slope = 0.23 ± 0.037) and tailbeat frequency (beats × min−1; r
2 = 0.52, slope = 0.003 ± 0.0003). Temperature had a significant effect on metabolic rate (r
2 = 0.41) with a Q10 of 2.2. Standard metabolic rate (SMR), determined directly after immobilization with the neuroblocker gallamine triethiodide,
ranged from 2.2–6.2 mmolO2 kg−1 h−1 and scaled with mass (W) such that SMR = 4.0 (±0.03)W0.695(±0.15). Comparison of directly determined and extrapolated SMR suggests that swimming respirometry provides a good estimate of SMR
in this species, given the differences in basal activity monitored by the two methods. Overall, American shad metabolic rates
(MO2 and SMR) were intermediate between salmonids and fast-swimming perciforms, including tunas, and may be a result of evolutionary
adaptation to their active pelagic, schooling life history. This study demonstrates variability in metabolic strategy among
anadromous fishes that may be important to understanding the relative success of different migratory species under varying
environmental conditions.
