【目的】白三叶入侵会挤占草坪草的生存空间,严重威胁草坪的质量和功能。明晰白三叶（Trifolium repens）入侵对草坪植物草地早熟禾（Poa pratensis）功能性状及草坪质量的影响,可深入了解白三叶入侵机制,为禾本科草坪的建植养护提供理论依据。【方法】以白三叶入侵草地早熟禾草坪为研究对象,采用样地调查方法,考察不同白三叶入侵程度下（对照及轻度、中度、重度入侵）草地早熟禾功能性状及草坪质量的差异特征,并通过隶属函数法综合评价各入侵程度下草坪质量。【结果】（1）随白三叶入侵程度的增加,草地早熟禾各器官碳含量、叶片建成成本及碳氮比、碳磷比和氮磷比逐渐降低,而比叶面积、各器官氮和磷含量增大。（2）同一入侵程度下,草地早熟禾各器官碳、氮和磷含量均表现为叶大于根和茎,碳氮比和碳磷比表现为根和茎大于叶,而其氮磷比表现为茎和叶大于根。（3）随白三叶入侵程度的增加,草地早熟禾草坪密度、质地、绿度指数和均一性降低,而地上生物量和地下生物量增大。（4）隶属函数法综合评价结果显示,草坪质量以白三叶未入侵时最优,重度入侵时最差,且叶碳含量对草坪质量的影响最大。【结论】白三叶入侵改变了草地早熟禾功能性状,降低了入侵区草坪质量,严重影响了草坪景观和功能。     

紫茎泽兰(Ageratina adenophora)入侵对土壤微生物群落和理化性质的影响

外来入侵植物与入侵地土壤微生物群落的互作关系是影响外来植物入侵力和生态系统可入侵性的一个重要领域。因此,研究外来植物入侵对入侵地土壤微生物群落及其理化性质的影响不仅可以全面地评估入侵植物对生态系统的影响,而且对于探索外来植物入侵的土壤微生物学机制尤为重要。采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFAs)和传统培养相结合的方法研究了外来入侵植物紫茎泽兰对入侵地土壤微生物群落结构的影响;同时研究了紫茎泽兰入侵对11种土壤理化因子的影响。结果表明紫茎泽兰入侵改变了土壤微生物群落结构,提高了土壤自生固氮菌、氨氧化细菌和真菌的数量;同时,显著地提高了土壤的有效磷、速效钾、硝态氮、氨态氮和土壤有机碳含量,降低了土壤总钾含量和pH值。土壤微生物不同生理类群的变化与土壤中植物可直接吸收利用养分的变化显著相关。紫茎泽兰在入侵地成功定殖后,可能通过改变土壤微生物群落结构,特别是增加了与土壤养分循环相关的微生物功能类群数量,进而提高了土壤可利用的养分水平,创造对自身生长有利的土壤环境。紫茎泽兰改变土壤微生物群落是其入侵的一部分,这种改变进而加速了土壤养分循环,可能增强了紫茎泽兰的养分吸收,进而促进其生长、竞争和扩张。     

加拿大一枝黄花入侵对土壤动物群落结构的影响

外来植物对入侵地土壤动物群落及理化性质影响的研究不仅有助于评估入侵植物对生态系统的影响,而且对探索外来植物入侵的土壤动物学响应机制尤为重要。为了了解加拿大一枝黄花对入侵地土壤动物的群落结构及理化性质的影响,本文分季节分层次对加拿大一枝黄花不同程度的入侵地进行取样,获得土壤动物9900个,隶属3门11纲14目,弹尾目和蜱螨类均为优势类群。入侵程度不同的样地中土壤动物个体数量和类群组成不同。土壤动物个体数量和类群数量表现为轻度入侵区＞中度入侵区＞重度入侵区;多样性指数和均匀性指数表现为轻度入侵区＜中度入侵区＜重度入侵区,优势度指数表现与前两指数相反。加拿大一枝黄花的入侵没有改变土壤动物表聚性特点。非度量多维标度排序分析表明,不同入侵程度下的土壤动物分为3类,即轻度入侵类、中度入侵类、重度入侵类。不同入侵区域土壤的pH、有机质含量、铵态氮、速效钾和速效磷差异显著(P＜0.05),土壤的含水量和温度差异不显著(P＞0.05)。灰色关联分析表明,入侵区域土壤铵态氮对土壤动物关联最大,有机质含量次之,再次是速效磷和pH,土壤含水量的影响最小。因而,加拿大一枝黄花的入侵,改变了入侵地土壤理化性质(尤其是对铵态氮的调控),进而改变了土壤动物的群落结构,创造了利于自身生长、竞争有利的土壤环境。

互花米草入侵对土壤生态系统的影响

互花米草是全球海岸滩涂湿地生态系统最成功的入侵植物之一,对中国沿海湿地土壤生态系统也产生了重大影响.本文主要从入侵地土壤生态系统的结构组分(土壤微生物和土壤动物)与物质循环(土壤碳循环、氮循环、磷循环和重金属元素)两大方面,综述了近年来国内外互花米草入侵对沿海滩涂与河口地区土壤生态系统的影响.此外,本文还指出了未来互花米草的研究方向,包括加强互花米草对入侵地土壤微生物的影响的研究,整合互花米草对地上、地下资源竞争和生态过程影响的研究,以及互花米草在全球变化大背景下入侵动态预测.     

红火蚁入侵对荔枝园土壤性理化质的影响

对红火蚁Solenopsis invicta Buren荔枝园发生区土壤理化性质进行了研究,结果表明:3类红火蚁不同发生区之间、红火蚁蚁巢4个不同方位之间以及距红火蚁蚁巢中心不同距离之间的土壤各项理化性质均有显著的差异(p＜0.01).从对照区、轻度发生区到重度发生区土壤粘粒变得越来越细,酸性逐渐升高.土壤有机质、碱解N、有效P的含量在轻、重度发生区较对照区分别下降了29.0%与39.9%、42.1%与53.6%、43.3%与52.6%,但速效K的含量在轻、重度发生区较对照区则分别升高了8.5%与34.0%.此外,在红火蚁发生区,蚁巢上的土壤理化性质与蚁巢以外的土壤理化性质明显不同(p＜0.01).蚁巢上的土壤明显比蚁巢以外的土壤酸性强.土壤有机质、碱解N、有效P的含量在蚁巢上明显最小,但土壤速效K的含量在蚁巢上明显最高.蚁巢不同方位上土壤的理化性质相对差异较小,红火蚁在荔枝园的分布存在一定的空间随机性.     

生物焦对土壤生态系统的影响效应

生物焦是生物残体在厌氧条件下高温裂解产生的,其主要成分为碳,芳香化程度很高,具有孔隙多、比表面积大、电荷密度高、不易分解等特点。目前的一些研究显示,生物焦具有提高土壤阳离子交换量（CEC）和pH、改善土壤肥力和健康状况、增加作物产量、减少温室气体排放等作用。生物焦施于土壤后,还具有增加土壤微生物量、改变土壤微生物群落结构,促进部分微生物生长等影响效应。然而,目前有关生物焦的研究还大都局限于表观效应上,缺乏对其微观内在机制的深入探讨。     

榛属群丛对土壤理化性质影响的研究

通过对相同林型下榛属丛和非榛属灌木丛下根区土壤的对比研究,发现榛属群丛下根区土壤较非榛属灌木下土壤ｐＨ值增高,有机质含量显著增加,全Ｎ和碱解氮,全磷量显著提高,有效磷降低土壤团粒结构增加,水稳性提高,表明榛属灌丛有明显地改良土壤理化性质的作用。     

不同主伐方式对兴安落叶松(Larix gmelinii)根际土壤理化性质及微生物群落的影响

对内蒙古根河大兴安岭林区1987年（恢复后期）、2013年（恢复前期）的皆伐与渐伐样地以及未采伐对照样地兴安落叶松的根际土壤理化性质、微生物群落结构和多样性进行了分析,旨在揭示不同主伐方式对兴安落叶松根际土壤理化性质以及微生物群落的影响。结果表明,主伐后兴安落叶松根际土壤的理化性质以及微生物群落的变化特征与非根际土壤存在区别,且不同主伐方式在不同恢复时期会对兴安落叶松根际土壤理化性质以及微生物群落产生不同的影响：（1）根际与非根际土壤微生物群落中真菌均比细菌更容易受到土壤理化性质的影响,但是单一种理化性质的改变对根际与非根际土壤微生物群落均不能造成显著影响。（2）相较于未采伐对照样地,皆伐样地恢复前期兴安落叶松根际土壤理化性质、微生物群落结构和多样性没有显著变化。皆伐样地恢复后期,兴安落叶松根际土壤理化性质（总碳、总氮、速效氮、pH）发生了显著变化,导致了微生物量碳氮、真菌磷脂脂肪酸（PLFA）含量显著降低、细菌/真菌显著升高,辛普森多样性指数显著降低。（3）渐伐样地恢复前期兴安落叶松根际土壤总碳、总氮、速效氮含量以及含水量均显著降低,总钾、速效磷含量显著上升,根际土壤微生物量碳含量显著降低。恢复后期,兴安落叶松根际土壤总磷含量显著升高,根际土壤微生物量碳的含量已恢复到渐伐前水平。渐伐干扰对根际土壤各微生物类群PLFA含量、微生物群落结构以及多样性没有显著影响。

Investigations of the host feeding preferences ofSitona weevils found commonly on white clover (Trifolium repens) in the UK

A series of laboratory and field studies were done to evaluate a range of leguminous plant species for their feeding potential by adult weevils of the genusSitona Germar. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Three species ofSitona, S. lineatus L.,S. flavescens Marsh. andS. hispidulus F. all of which are found commonly on white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in the UK were offered a range of 11 legume species,T. repens (white clover, cv. Olwen),T. pratense L. (red clover, cv. Marcom),T. fragiferum L. (strawberry clover, cv. Palestine),T. hybridum L. (hybrid clover, cv. Tetra),T. incarnatum L (crimson clover),T. dubium Sibth. (lesser yellow trefoil),Lotus corniculatus L. (birdsfoot-trefoil, cv. Leo),L. uliginosus Schkuhr. (large birdsfoot-trefoil),Melilotus alba Desr. (white melilot),Medicago sativa L. (lucerne, cv. Europe) andM. lupulina L. (black medick) in two laboratory experiments. The weevils were offered a choice of these legumes in one experiment whilst in the other they did not have a choice of food material. These legumes were also sown in the field and a number of measurements of damage, together with counts ofSitona spp., were made. In the laboratoryS. lineatus andS. hispidulus favoured some of the legumes to a greater or lesser extent than white clover.S. flavescens was more restricted in its feeding than the other two weevil species. In the field studyS. lineatus invaded the experimental area quickly and tended to favourMedicago spp. andMelilotus spp. Later in the yearS. flavescens dominated the sitona fauna on the experiment, with the exception of aggregations ofS. lineatus onM. sativa andM. alba. In a separate screen of 5 varieties of white clover (cvs Donna, Menna, Kersey, Olwen and Grasslands Huia), cv. Olwen appeared to be the most susceptible to sitona attack.     

不同入侵程度下飞机草对喀斯特地区土壤理化性质的影响

外来生物入侵威胁着全球的生物多样性和生态系统的功能,研究外来入侵植物对土壤理化性质的影响有助于理解外来入侵植物的入侵机制。以广西喀斯特地区飞机草（Chromolaena odorata）入侵生境为研究对象,比较分析了不同飞机草入侵程度下（对照、轻度入侵、中度入侵、重度入侵）土壤物理和化学指标变化特征。结果表明：随着飞机草的入侵程度加重,土壤容重显著增加,轻度入侵、中度入侵和重度入侵生境下土壤容重分别比对照增加了10.3%、16.7%、22.3%,土壤非毛管孔隙度、总孔隙度和土壤含水量显著降低,土壤毛管孔隙度无显著变化;飞机草入侵对土壤pH值无显著影响,随着入侵程度加重,土壤速效磷和速效钾的含量显著升高,在重度入侵生境下土壤速效磷和速效钾含量分别比对照增加了4.3倍、3.8倍,土壤全氮和有机质含量显著降低。飞机草入侵显著改变了土壤理化性状,导致喀斯特地区土壤物理结构退化,生态系统水土保持能力下降,同时飞机草通过改变土壤养分循环提高了土壤可直接利用养分的水平,创造对自身有利的土壤环境,进而促进其生长和扩散。     

Impact of two shoot-galling biological control candidates on Russian knapweed, Acroptilon repens

Russian knapweed, Acroptilon repens, is one of the most serious exotic invaders of temperate grasslands in North America. Here we present results from a field experiment in which we quantified the impact of two potential biological control agents, the gall wasp Aulacidea acroptilonica V.Bel. (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) and the gall midge Jaapiella ivannikovi Fedotova (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), on A. repens under field conditions in the plant’s native range in Uzbekistan. Attack by A. acroptilonica reduced shoot length by 21%, above-ground biomass by 25% and seed output by 75%, while attack by J. ivannikovi reduced shoot length by 12%, above-ground biomass by 24%, and seed output by 92%. The results of these field experiments are likely to accurately reflect the potential of these two gall formers to reduce above-ground biomass and sexual reproduction of A. repens shoots, since the shoots were part of a clonal network. Despite this, the attacked shoots were not able to compensate for the reallocation of plant resources to gall formation. Moreover, the mean number of galls per shoot obtained in the experiments was within the range of observed gall incidences in the native range. The impact of these two gall-forming insects on Russian knapweed in North America will depend on the population size the species reach and on the timing of attack. The highest impact is likely to occur when the insects attack shoots that have not yet started producing flower-buds.     

Hepatotoxicity potential of Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) in rats

Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens L.) is an herbal drug used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). There has been a report that a preparation containing this herb has caused cholestatic hepatitis in one person and some indications exist that it may have the potential to produce liver toxicity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of saw palmetto on rat liver function by measuring its effects on several enzymes and formation of malondialdehyde (MDA), a byproduct of lipid peroxidation. A significant increase in these parameters is considered an indication of liver toxicity. Thirty-six rats were divided into 6 groups of 6 animals each. They were treated for 2 or 4 weeks with a placebo or saw palmetto at doses of 9.14 or 22.86 mg/kg/body wt./day; that is, 2 x and 5 x the maximum recommended daily human dosages. After 2 or 4 weeks, the animals were sacrificed and blood was collected to prepare serum for enzyme assays, which were performed using commercially available kits. A portion of the liver was removed, and a homogenate prepared for the lipid peroxidation assay. Results showed no significant difference in animal body weight, enzyme activity, or MDA formation at either time or dosage level, as compared to controls. The data indicate that at the doses and time periods tested, saw palmetto did not produce any significant effect on the normal biological markers of liver toxicity.     

模拟增温对羊草生态系统土壤呼吸速率的影响

草地是陆地生态系统的重要组成部分,研究草地系统土壤呼吸速率对全球气候变暖的响应,对预测全球碳循环具有重要作用。采用高度分别为0.5 m（T1）和1.85 m（T2）的开顶式增温箱（OTCs）对羊草生态系统进行模拟增温,仔细观察羊草的生育期,在每个生育期的同一天的晨间t₁时段（9：00-11：00）、午间t₂时段（13：30-15：30）和晚间t₃时段（17：00-19：00）监测土壤呼吸速率。分析不同增温幅度下土壤呼吸速率的变化规律,明确影响土壤碳排放的主要因素,探讨土壤呼吸速率与影响因素间存在的关系。结果显示：1）相对于空白对照C,模拟增温T1和T2导致0-10 cm土壤温度分别显著提高1.18和2.37℃;导致0-10 cm土壤湿度降低2.27%和4.57%;2）在羊草生长阶段,土壤呼吸速率呈现明显的季节性变化特征,同一天的t₁时段、t₂时段和t₃时段土壤呼吸速率峰值分别出现在结实期、抽穗期和开花期。非生长阶段土壤呼吸速率无显著差异;3）不同处理下土壤呼吸速率与近地表气温、0-10 cm土壤温度和地下生物量呈指数正相关关系,与0-10 cm的土壤湿度呈显著二次项负相关关系,与地上生物量表现为二次项正相关关系。研究结果明确了羊草生态系统中土壤碳排放对增温的响应,可为草原生态系统应对气候变化及可持续发展提供理论依据。     

UV-B辐射方向对白三叶克隆整合的影响

增强UV-B辐射会对植物生长和生理生化过程产生有害效应。克隆植物中,相连的克隆分株对经常共享资源和激素,然而鲜有关于异质性UV-B辐射下UV-B辐射方向对克隆整合的影响及克隆植物形态结构变化的报道。模拟同质(克隆分株片段均处于自然背景辐射)和异质(克隆分株一端处于自然背景辐射,另一端处于补加的UV-B辐射)UV-B辐射,以克隆植物白三叶为材料,进行连接和隔断处理,研究UV-B辐射方向对克隆整合强度变化、叶片形态结构特化及生理可塑性的影响。结果表明:异质性UV-B辐射下,15N同位素标记端保留的15N百分比高于同质UV-B辐射处理,转移到无标记相连端的15N含量则降低,紫外辐射处理和同位素标记是否处于同一分株端对结果无显著性影响,说明克隆植物白三叶生理整合存在但整合强度降低,辐射方向与克隆整合强度无关;隔断处理组气孔长度增加,栅栏组织增厚,但连接处理组却无此变化,表明生理整合在白三叶叶片形态结构特化中发挥作用。UV-B辐射下,最小荧光、电子传递速率及光化学淬灭系数降低但非光化学淬灭系数升高,而生理整合却使结果相反;叶绿素和紫外吸收物可在异质性UV-B辐射相连的两端运输分享。以上均表明异质UV-B辐射环境中,UV-B辐射胁迫端克隆分株通过生理整合从非胁迫端获益,并以此提高胁迫环境中克隆植物对资源的利用效率。     

Growth of Trifolium alpinum: Effects of soil properties, symbionts and pathogens

The lowland cultivation of Trifolium alpinum, a clover species found on acid soils in the Alps and suitable for the restoration of erosion areas at high altitudes, failed repeatedly in previous experiments. Three experiments were carried out in a controlled environment to elucidate the reasons for the failure and to develop possible cultivation strategies. In experiment I, T. alpinum was grown in an autochthonous soil from the Alps (high elevation) and in two allochthonous soils, a grassland soil from the Hercynian mountains (medium elevation), and an arable soil (low elevation), in which the seed propagation of T. alpinum had failed previously. The two allochthonous soils had lower contents of soil organic C and ergosterol, an indicator for fungal biomass, than the autochthonous high-elevation soil, but higher levels of exchangeable Ca and extractable P. Plants grown in the allochthonous soils achieved higher biomass and total N amounts per plant than those from the high elevation soil if inoculated with this autochthonous material to establish rhizobial infection. In the allochthonous high elevation soil, the growth of T. alpinum was P-limited as shown in experiment II. In experiment I, plants grown in the low elevation soil had a lower biomass and smaller number of active leaves at 120 days after emergence than those grown on the medium elevation soil. This difference can be explained by strong colonization with the phytophagous nematode Pratylenchus sp., as demonstrated in experiment III by comparing plant growth either in untreated or in autoclaved low-elevation soil. Successful propagation of T. alpinum at low elevation may be achieved through suitable inoculation with autochthonous soil biota, especially Rhizobia, and avoidance of soils infested by Pratylenchus species by choosing sites with acidic soil and ensuring adequate P-availability.     

不同火烈度对四川泸山林场云南松林土壤有机碳组分的影响

林火通过改变土壤理化性质显著影响土壤固碳能力及土壤有机碳各组分含量。阐明不同火烈度对云南松林土壤有机碳的影响,对于云南松林火后生态系统恢复及土壤碳库管理具有重要意义。以火烧2年后四川泸山林场云南松林0-5、5-10、10-15、15-20cm层土壤为研究对象,根据不同火烈度（未过火、低烈度、中烈度、高烈度）设置3块20m×30m样地,共12块样地,野外采集土壤样品,室内测定土壤全氮、容重等理化性质和土壤有机碳（Soil organic carbon,SOC）、土壤活性有机碳（易氧化有机碳,Readily oxidizable carbon,ROC;颗粒有机碳,Particulate organic carbon,POC;微生物生物量碳,Microbial biomass carbon,MBC;水溶性有机碳,Water-soluble organic carbon,WSOC）,采用方差分析研究不同火烈度下土壤有机碳各组分含量的差异性和变化趋势,并采用相关性分析和冗余分析从土壤理化性质角度探究林火对土壤有机碳的影响机制。研究结果表明：（1）不同火烈度显著影响土壤理化性质,其中土壤全氮、有效磷、阳离子交换量、毛管孔隙度、总孔隙度随火烈度增大而增加,而土壤pH、速效钾、碱解氮、容重随火烈度增大而减少。（2） SOC随火烈度增大而减少,其中5-10cm土层降幅最大为44.79%;4种土壤活性有机碳随火烈度增大而减小,其中0-5cm土层下降幅度最明显,各组分降幅大小依次为ROC （36.31%-61.31%） > POC （30.05%-53.61%） > MBC （20.60%-48.19%） > WSOC （13.47%-29.29%）,不同组分对林火的不同响应显著影响了土壤ROC、POC、WSOC的占比。（3）土壤有机碳及其活性组分与阳离子交换量、毛管孔隙度、总孔隙度、有效磷、碱解氮呈显著正相关（P<0.05）,与容重呈极显著负相关（P<0.01）。火烧后土壤有机碳的变化主要与阳离子交换量、容重、全氮、含水率有关,且阳离子交换量影响最大（解释率为61.7%）。     

Effects of condensed tannins in white clover flowers on their digestion in vitro

Protein in white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is poorly utilised by ruminants because of its extensive degradation to ammonia in the rumen. However, white clover produces condensed tannins (CT) in its flowers, which can reduce rumen proteolysis. Effects of increasing proportions of clover dry matter (DM) as flowers (and therefore floral CT) on soluble protein, ammonia and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations were determined with in vitro incubations. Minced mixtures of 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 g/kg of DM as white clover flower (F) with the remainder as white clover leaf, were incubated in vitro and sampled after 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. Treatments contained 0, 13, 26, 39 and 52 g CT/kg DM, respectively. A further treatment with 500 g/kg DM as flower and 500 g/kg DM as leaf had polyethylene glycol added to remove effects of CT. Increasing the proportion of white clover as flowers from 0 to 1000 g/kg DM reduced net conversion of plant N to ammonia N from 290 to 120 mM/M at least partly due to reduced solubility of the protein. Treatments with 750 g/kg DM or more as clover flowers reduced ammonia concentrations to levels likely to limit microbial growth. Total VFA production was not affected by flower content, although the proportion of acetate to propionate increased. The contribution of CT to treatment effects was small compared to effects attributed to difference in chemical composition between flowers and leaves.
