全球气候变化背景下华北平原气候资源变化趋势

在全球气候变化的大背景下,过去几十年,华北平原气候资源也发生了相应的变化,这一变化对该区域的粮食生产将产生深刻的影响。利用华北平原1961-2007年逐日气候资料,探讨了不同年代际间该区域气候资源的空间分布特征。研究结果表明:气候变暖使华北平原热量资源更加丰富,全区≥0℃和≥10℃积温呈整体增加趋势,空间分布呈北移东扩的变化特征;且气候带移动特征明显,向北移动了3个纬度,约300多km。过去47a,华北区域年降水量呈下降趋势,平均下降速率为18mm/10a。夏、秋两季降水量呈减少趋势,速率在25-40mm/10a之间;春、冬两季降水量呈微弱增加趋势,但增加幅度小于夏、秋两季的减少幅度。年平均参考作物蒸散量呈整体下降趋势,减幅小于降水量的变化趋势。全区日照时数显著减少,纬向分布特征明显,以大中城市附近减少最为突出。     

雅鲁藏布江黑颈鹤越冬地气温时空变化特征

利用雅鲁藏布江黑颈鹤越冬地周边13个气象站点1980—2015年气温资料,对雅鲁藏布江黑颈鹤越冬地年际气温和越冬期气温变化进行研究。结果表明:1980—2015年,越冬地年平均气温、年平均最高气温和年平均最低气温均呈极显著增加趋势,越冬期气温年际变化波动振幅相对全年平均变化较大。其中越冬期最高气温增温速率最快,较年际增暖率高0.09℃/10a。越冬地年气温和越冬期气温增温速率变化趋势在空间上表现较为一致。越冬期平均气温、最高气温和最低气温的周期变化较全年均有所提前,存在一个2年的周期振荡。越冬期平均气温、平均最高气温、平均最低气温在统计时段内发生了突变,突变年份分别为1995年、1998年、1993年,气温日较差没有发生突变,越冬期气温和越冬期气温突变的方向除气温日较差以外都是由冷位相到暖位相突变。开展雅鲁藏布江黑颈鹤越冬分布区气候变化的长期监测,对于分析和精准识别气候变化对黑颈鹤越冬地分布区生境的影响,强化对黑颈鹤越冬地的保护研究有着重要的意义。     

气候变化背景下东北三省大豆干旱时空特征

利用1961—2010年东北三省大豆种植区71个气象站点地面气象观测资料,基于农业干旱指标作物水分亏缺指数(CWDI)及干旱等级,分析了气候变化背景下近50年来我国东北地区大豆干旱发生频率演变趋势及干旱程度演变特征,研究结果表明:东北三省大豆干旱频率空间差异较大,呈明显的西高东低的经向带状分布特征;大豆全生育期干旱频率以轻旱最高,中旱次之,重旱和特严重干旱频率最低;轻旱及以上干旱频率以播种到分枝阶段最高,分枝到开花阶段次之,开花到成熟阶段最低;作物水分亏缺指数年际变化趋势各地不同,总体而言以播种到分枝期干旱为主向开花到成熟期干旱转变的特点;大豆全生育干旱等级存在明显的年代际变化,20世纪80年代干旱范围最小、程度最轻,2000年以后重旱及中旱范围增加明显,干旱趋于严重。     

中国温带旱柳物候期对气候变化的时空响应

为了揭示中国温带植物物候随时间变化和植物物候对气候变化响应的空间格局及其生态机制,利用52个站点1986—2005年的旱柳展叶始期、开花始期、果实成熟期、叶变色始期和落叶末期的物候数据,分析其时间序列的线性趋势,并通过建立基于最佳期间日均温的物候时间模型,确定物候发生日期对气温年际变化的响应。在研究的时段内,区域平均旱柳展叶始期、开花始期和果实成熟期的发生日期分别以-4.2 d/10 a、-3.8 d/10 a和-3.3 d/10 a的平均速率显著提前,而区域平均旱柳叶变色始期和落叶末期的发生日期则分别呈不显著推迟和以2.4 d/10 a的平均速率显著推迟的趋势。单站展叶始期、开花始期和果实成熟期发生日期的线性趋势以提前为主,显著提前的站点分别占40%、41%和29%;叶变色始期发生日期呈显著提前和显著推迟趋势的站点数相当,分别占17%和19%;落叶末期发生日期的线性趋势以推迟为主,显著推迟的站点占23%。各站展叶始期、开花始期和果实成熟期发生日期的线性趋势空间序列与相应的最佳期间日均温的线性趋势空间序列之间呈显著负相关,表明一个站点前期气温升高的速率越快,该站这些物候期发生日期提前的速率就越快。在物候期对气温年际变化的响应方面,区域平均春季最佳期间日均温每升高1℃,展叶始期、开花始期和果实成熟期的发生日期分别提前3.08 d、2.83 d和3.54 d;区域平均秋季最佳期间日均温每升高1℃,叶变色始期和落叶末期的发生日期分别推迟1.69 d和2.28 d。单站展叶始期和落叶末期发生日期对气温年际变化的响应表现出在温暖地区的站点比在寒冷地区的站点更为敏感的特点。总体上看,基于日均温的物候时间模型对春、夏季物候期的模拟精度明显高于对秋季物候期的模拟精度。建立了基于最佳期间日均温和日累积降水量的改进秋季物候模型,该模型使旱柳叶变色始期和落叶末期的模拟精度显著提高。由此可见,旱柳叶变色始期和落叶末期的发生日期受到前期气温和降水量的综合影响。

藏北高原植被物候时空动态变化的遥感监测研究

利用遥感数据提取的植被物候格局及时空变化特征能很好地反映区域尺度上植被对全球变化的响应。目前关于青藏高原地区植被物候的少量报道基本上是基于物候站点的观测记录展开分析的。该文基于非对称高斯拟合算法重建了藏北高原2001-2010年的MODIS EVI (增强型植被指数)时间序列影像, 然后利用动态阈值法提取整个藏北高原2001-2010年植被覆盖的重要物候信息, 包括植被返青期、枯黄期与生长季长度, 分析了植被物候10年间平均状况的空间分异特征以及年际变化情况, 并结合站点观测记录分析了气温和降水对植被物候变化的影响, 结果表明: (1)藏北高原植被返青期在空间上表现出从东南到西北逐渐推迟的水平地带性与东南高山峡谷区的垂直地带性相结合的特征, 近60%区域的植被返青期提前, 特别是高山地区; (2)植被枯黄期的年际变化不太明显, 大部分地区都表现为自然的年际波动; (3)生长季长度的时空变化特征由植被返青期和枯黄期二者决定, 但主要受返青期提前影响, 大部分地区生长季长度延长; (4)研究区内不同气候区划植被物候的年际变化以那曲高山谷地亚寒带半湿润区和青南高原亚寒带半干旱区的植被返青期提前和生长季延长程度最为明显; (5)基于气象台站数据分析气候变化对物候的影响发现, 返青期提前及生长季延长主要受气温升高的影响, 与降水的关系尚不明确。     

1971-2010年中国大陆潜在蒸散变化的年代际转折及其成因

潜在蒸散时间演变的年代际转折研究有助于全面认识潜在蒸散对气候变化的响应。基于修正的FAO56 Penman-Monteith公式和中国580个台站逐日气象观测资料,利用气候变化趋势转折判别模型分析了1971—2010年中国潜在蒸散变化的年代际转折特征,并探讨转折前、后的变化趋势及其主导因素。结果表明:1971—2010年中国年平均潜在蒸散在20世纪90年代初期由显著下降(-2.46 mm/a)转变为显著上升(1.57 mm/a),这与影响潜在蒸散变化的4个气象因子趋势的年代际转折密切相关。90年代之前,全国风速和日照时数普遍下降引起的负贡献超过气温上升引起的正贡献,导致潜在蒸散显著下降;90年代之后,全国大部分地区的增暖加剧和干旱化使得气温和相对湿度的正贡献明显增大,超过由于风速和日照时数下降趋势减缓甚至转折而减小的负贡献,导致潜在蒸散显著上升。潜在蒸散趋势转折现象在全国80%以上的站点普遍存在,且转折前、后主导因子的空间分布格局存在差异。90年代之前,风速和日照时数分别是北方和南方多数站点的主导因子;90年代之后,以气温和相对湿度为主导因子的站点明显增多,尤其是在西北地区、青藏高原和东南沿海部分地区。

Notes on the Effect of Cutting Bracken (Pteris aquilina L.)

Background: Undisturbed high elevation treelines follow a common growing season isotherm, irrespective of latitude. Small stature plants thrive at much higher elevations because they grow in a favourable microclimate near the ground, whereas trees are aerodynamically coupled to free atmospheric circulation, hence the uniform treeline elevation in a given region.

Aims: I argue that the treeline results from tree architecture and not from a tree-specific inferior physiology. At tissue level, all cold adapted higher plants (including winter crops) face similar temperature related limitations and are constrained by similar thermal thresholds.

Methods: In order to explore this hypothesis, winter rape and winter oat were grown in the field and the daily rate of leaf expansion was measured during early winter, with temperatures similar to those at treeline at the beginning of the growing season (monthly mean temperature of 5 °C).

Results: Leaves of these winter crops only grew when the degree hours above 5 °C for a given day exceeded zero. Rape and oats showed very similar responses. The data support a common temperature threshold for tissue formation in winter crops and treeline trees.

Conclusions: A literature survey revealed lower temperature thresholds (close to freezing point) in arctic and Antarctic algae. It appears that the formation of complex, partly lignified tissue does not happen below 5 °C, whereas such temperatures exert little constraints on photosynthesis. The study illustrates that tissue growth in winter crops can help understand growth of treeline trees, given that both exhibit similar minimum temperature requirements for meristem functioning.     

甘肃省冬小麦生长发育对暖冬现象的响应

运用甘肃省天水、西峰两地1951-2005年的气温资料及天水、西峰农业气象试验站1981-2003年冬小麦物候观测资料,分析探讨了甘肃冬小麦种植区50多年的冬季气温变暖趋势及冬小麦生长发育过程对气候变暖的响应．结果表明：冬季气温升高对冬小麦生长发育产生了较大影响．在最近20多年,冬小麦越冬死亡率下降到2％以下,越冬天数减少了7～8d,整个生育期缩短8～10d,返青一开花期天数延长7d,这有利于冬小麦生产及气候资源的利用-同时,冬季气温升高及降水减少也使冬小麦产量稳定性变差,麦田病、虫危害发生率增加,给冬小麦的安全生产增加了不确定因素．     

Fine-scale habitat associations of Oklahoma's longspurs

Overwintering is a key demographic stage for migratory birds but remains poorly understood, especially among multiple declining grassland bird species. The non-breeding ranges all 4 species of longspur (i.e., chestnut-collared [Calcarius ornatus], Smith's [C. pictus], Lapland [C. lapponicus], thick-billed [Rhynchophanes mccownii]) overlap in Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle, USA, making this region ideal to study their wintering ecology. We evaluated the relationship between wintering longspur occurrence and fine-scale habitat characteristics using a combination of standardized bird surveys and vegetation plot sampling. Our study encompassed large, representative tracts of 3 prairie ecosystems (i.e., shortgrass, mixed-grass, and tallgrass prairies) that intersect within the Southern Great Plains, during winters of 2018–2019 and 2019–2020. Using randomization tests and classification trees, we characterized longspur habitats and compared these associations across the 3 prairie ecosystems. Fine-scale winter habitats (horizontal structure, vertical structure, and species compositions) varied among all 4 longspur species, varied at very fine scales, and differed between grassland types. Our findings can be applied to the management of grasslands such as decreasing vegetation height in mixed-grass prairies for chestnut-collared longspurs or removing woody vegetation in shortgrass prairies for thick-billed longspurs to help develop full-life cycle conservation for longspurs, which have experienced population declines.

广东省草地贪夜蛾冬季发生特征及周年繁殖区域研究

广东省是草地贪夜蛾入侵我国的桥头堡和主要的北迁虫源地之一,明确该虫在广东省的冬季发生特征及越冬存活情况,对广东省乃至全国草地贪夜蛾的预测预报及源头治理意义重大。为准确掌握广东省草地贪夜蛾的周年繁殖区范围及冬季发生为害情况,2020年1-3月在粤东、粤西、粤北及珠三角地区,利用成虫性诱、挖土查蛹、幼虫密度及植株为害率普查等方法,分析广东省草地贪夜蛾冬前、冬后种群发生为害情况及冬季发生特征。调查结果表明:(1)广东省冬玉米种植区主要分布在湛江、茂名、阳江、惠州等地,冬玉米种植区均发现草地贪夜蛾幼虫为害,主要为害冬玉米,极少为害甘蔗;(2)不同地区冬种玉米上草地贪夜蛾的发生程度差异较大,湛江、茂名、阳江发生为害较为严重,平均为害率30%左右,而珠三角及粤东地区发生较轻,为害率低于10%;较冬前调查,冬后草地贪夜蛾发生量和为害程度出现不同程度的下降;(3)广东省大部分地区的冬种玉米田和空闲地均可持续诱捕到草地贪夜蛾成虫,而挖土调查发现草地贪夜蛾蛹密度较低。本调查明确了草地贪夜蛾在北回归线以南的冬玉米区可以周年繁殖,无明显的滞育越冬现象,粤西茂名、阳江以南至雷州半岛一带为典型冬种玉米区,草地贪夜蛾发生为害较为严重,珠三角及粤东大部分地区草地贪夜蛾种群数量相对较低,调查结果为广东省乃至全国草地贪夜蛾的早期预警和精准防控提供了重要参考。     

Approaches to delineate greater sage-grouse winter concentration areas

The usefulness of protected areas as regulatory mechanisms to conserve wildlife populations relies on their ability to contain all seasonal habitats necessary for species persistence. Efficient conservation practices require understanding behavior and habitat needs of individual species and populations rather than simply relying on reserves of approximate size and configuration. Priority Areas of Conservation (PACs) have been delineated as protected areas based on known breeding habitat for greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) throughout their range. These PACs include Core Areas designated in the Wyoming Sage-grouse Executive Order; however, this order also indicated the need to identify winter concentration areas (WCAs; flocks ≥50 individuals) based on habitat features using validated resource selection functions (RSFs). We used aerial infrared videography to identify locations of wintering sage-grouse in south-central and southwest Wyoming, USA, to evaluate winter sage-grouse habitat selection with individual-based RSFs, RSFs based on WCAs, and relative flock size. We located 4,859 individuals comprising 132 flocks across our study area. Flocks occurred in Core Areas more than expected, but a biologically meaningful number of sage-grouse flocks were located outside of Core Areas. Individual-based RSFs contained useful predictors that were consistent with previous sage-grouse winter habitat selection studies. Flock size and WCA models produced similar predictions to individual-based RSF models. Individual-based and WCA-based RSF model predictions had a high degree of similarity, suggesting that identifying important winter habitats with individual-based RSF modeling is useful for locating potential WCAs when information on flock sizes is not available. Our results and survey technique provide a potential framework for identifying sage-grouse WCAs with implications for improving PAC protection of all seasonal habitats for sage-grouse conservation. © 2019 The Wildlife Society.     

Forecasting migration of cereal aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in autumn and spring

The migration of cereal aphids and the time of their arrival on winter cereal crops in autumn and spring are of particular importance for plant disease (e.g. barley yellow dwarf virus infection) and related yield losses. In order to identify days with migration potentials in autumn and spring, suction trap data from 29 and 45 case studies (locations and years), respectively, were set‐off against meteorological parameters, focusing on the early immigration periods in autumn (22 September to 1 November) and spring (1 May to 9 June). The number of cereal aphids caught in a suction trap increased with increasing temperature, global radiation and duration of sunshine and decreased with increasing precipitation, relative humidity and wind speed. According to linear regression analyses, the temperature, global radiation and wind speed were most frequently and significantly associated with migration, suggesting that they have a major impact on flight activity. For subsequent model development, suction trap catches from different case studies were pooled and binarily classified as days with or without migration as defined by a certain number of migrating cereal aphids. Linear discriminant analyses of several predictor variables (assessed during light hours of a given day) were then performed based on the binary response variables. Three models were used to predict days with suction trap catches ≥1, ≥4 or ≥10 migrating cereal aphids in autumn. Due to the predominance of Rhopalosiphum padi individuals (99.3% of total cereal aphid catch), no distinction between species (R. padi and Sitobion avenae) was made in autumn. As the suction trap catches were lower and species dominance changed in spring, three further models were developed for analysis of all cereal aphid species, R. padi only, and Metopolophium dirhodum and S. avenae combined in spring. The empirical, cross‐classification and receiver operating characteristic analyses performed for model validation showed different levels of prediction accuracy. Additional datasets selected at random before model construction and parameterization showed that predictions by the six migration models were 33–81% correct. The models are useful for determining when to start field evaluations. Furthermore, they provide information on the size of the migrating aphid population and, thus, on the importance of immigration for early aphid population development in cereal crops in a given season.     

Adult survival and reproductive rate are linked to habitat preference in territorial,year‐round resident Song Sparrows Melospiza melodia

Individual animal fitness can be strongly influenced by the ability to recognize habitat features which may be beneficial. Many studies focus on the effects of habitat on annual reproductive rate, even though adult survival is typically a greater influence on fitness and population growth in vertebrate species with intermediate to long lifespans. Understanding the effects of preferred habitat on individuals over the annual cycle is therefore necessary to predict its influences on individual fitness. This is particularly true in species that are resident and territorial year‐round in the temperate zone, which may face potential trade‐offs between habitat that maximizes reproduction and that which maximizes non‐breeding season (‘over‐winter’) survival. We used a 37‐year study of Song Sparrows Melospiza melodia residing territorially year‐round on a small island to examine what habitat features influenced adult over‐winter survival, how site‐specific variation in adult survival vs. annual reproductive rate influenced long‐term habitat preference, and if preferred sites on average conferred higher individual fitness. Habitat features such as area of shrub cover and exposure to intertidal coastline predicted adult over‐winter survival independent of individual age or sex, population size, or winter weather. Long‐term habitat preference (measured as occupation rate) was better predicted by site‐specific annual reproductive rate than by expected over‐winter survival, but preferred sites maximized fitness on average over the entire annual cycle,. Although adult over‐winter survival had a greater influence on population growth (λ) than did reproductive rate, the influence of reproductive rate on λ increased in preferred sites because site‐specific variation in reproductive rate was higher than variation in expected over‐winter survival. Because preferred habitats tended to have higher mean site‐specific reproductive and adult survival rates, territorial birds in this population do not appear to experience seasonal trade‐offs in preferred habitat but are predicted to incur substantial fitness costs of settling in less‐preferred sites.
