稀土元囊对小麦幼苗氮素吸收及同化的影响

稀土元素浸种能够促进小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)幼苗对No3-的吸收,提高硝酸还原酶活力。这些效应与稀土浓度有关,低浓度有促进作用,高浓度则有抑制作用。稀土元素处理还能促进小麦幼苗体内No3-的同化还原,使硝态氮含量降低,氨基氮含量增加,促进了氮素代谢过程。

Herbicidal Effects on Water Uptake of Seeds of Selected Weed Species

Seeds of yellow foxtail, johnsongrass, pigweed and quackgrass were investigated to determine the effects of certain herbicides on water uptake by these species. Seeds of johnsongrass showed slight increase in water uptake over the 20-h period when treated with 1, 5, 10, and 500 mg/1 of 2,4-D. Tordon caused a most pronounced increase in water uptake at 0.1 and 1 mg/l as compared with the controls. Johnsongrass gave indications of either increases or decreases in water uptake when treated with herbicides during the 20-h period, but showed no effects during the 10-h period. Dormant seeds of yellow foxtail indicated an enhancement in water uptake at all 2,4-D concentrations during the 20 h period. The effects which the different herbicides had upon the uptake of water in yellow foxtail seeds seemed to be directly proportional to increase in imbibition time. In all cases, more water was imbibed after 20 h over that observed at 10 h. During the 10-h imbibition period, pigweed seeds treated with 2,4-D was noted to have a slight stimulating effect on water uptake at all concentrations employed except 5 mg/l, which indicated a depressing effect. It was also observed that 2,4-D caused a significant stimulating effect on water uptake of pigweed seeds over the 20-h period as compared with the controls. A stimulation in the total quantity of water imbibed after 20 h was noted at dacthal concentrations below 100 mg/l whereas at the 500 mg/l, a slight depression in water imbibition was observed. At dalapon concentrations of 1 to 100 mg/l, a marked stimulation in total water imbibed by quackgrass seeds was shown during the 10-h period.     

Uptake of Trace Metals and Rare Earth Elements from Hornblende by a Soil Bacterium

Analysis of trace elements released from hornblende between pH 6.5 and 7.5 in the presence of Arthrobacter sp. shows that Fe, Ni, V, Mn, and, to a lesser extent, Co are preferentially released into solution relative to bacteria-free experiments. This enhanced release into solution could be due to contributions from the slightly lowered pH, the presence of low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), or the presence of a catecholate siderophore in experiments with bacteria. The best explanation for enhanced metal release is siderophore complexation at the mineral surface followed by release to solution. However,the relative rates of metal release to solution in these experiments do not strictly follow the trend predicted by the relative ordering of metal hydrolysis, which might be predicted for siderophore-promoted dissolution. For some of these metals, release to solution is fast initially in biotic experiments, but concentrations in solution reach a steady state value or decrease with time as the bacteria cell numbers increase exponentially. Lack of enhanced release to solution for some metals and decreases in release rate with time for others may be explained by uptake into bacteria. Many of the metals predicted to strongly complex with siderophore (including Al, Ti, Fe, Cu) are heavily taken up into cellular material. The relative ordering of organic ligand-element complexation may therefore partially explain the relative ordering of uptake of trace metals and rare earth elements into cell material. Fractionation of heavy rare earth elements taken up into cellular material is also very strong, and increases from Ho to Lu. Strong fractionation in uptake of some elements by bacteria may create biological signatures either in the mineral substrate or in any mineral precipitates associated with the cellular material.

Tree Species Effects on Calcium Cycling: The Role of Calcium Uptake in Deep Soils

Soil acidity and calcium (Ca) availability in the surface soil differ substantially beneath sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) trees in a mixed forest in northwestern Connecticut. We determined the effect of pumping of Ca from deep soil (rooting zone below 20-cm mineral soil) to explain the higher available Ca content in the surface soil beneath sugar maple. We measured the atmospheric input of Ca with bulk deposition collectors and estimated Ca weathering and Ca mineralization in the surface soil (rooting zone above 20-cm mineral soil) from strontium isotope measurements and observed changes in exchangeable Ca in soils during field incubation. Calcium leaching at 20 cm was calculated by combining modeled hydrology with measured Ca soil solution concentrations at 20-cm depth. We measured root length distribution with depth beneath both tree species. Calcium leaching from the surface soil was much higher beneath sugar maple than hemlock and was positively related with the amount of Ca available in the surface soil. Calcium leaching from the surface soil beneath sugar maple was higher than the combined Ca input from atmospheric deposition and soil weathering. Without Ca uptake in the deep soil, surface soils are being depleted in Ca, especially beneath sugar maple. More organically bound Ca was mineralized beneath sugar maple than beneath hemlock. A relatively small part of this Ca release was leached below the surface soil, suggesting that, beneath both tree species, most of the Ca cycling is occurring in the surface soil. Sugar maple had more fine roots in the deep soil than hemlock and a greater potential to absorb Ca in the deep soil. With a simple model, we showed that a relatively small amount of Ca uptake in the deep soil beneath sugar maple is able to sustain high amounts of available Ca in the surface soil.

茶园土壤类型对铁观音茶叶稀土元素分布和组成的影响

为探明铁观音茶的质量安全状况,追溯隐患来源,对福建安溪县不同土壤茶园的铁观音茶叶进行稀土元素的分布、组成、迁移和富集能力进行研究。结果表明,安溪县红壤、黄红壤、黄壤茶园稀土组成均以镧、铈、钕、钇为主,但具体组成特征各异。3种类型土壤茶园铁观音茶叶片、叶柄稀土元素组成均以钇、镧、铈、钕4种元素为主,且含量均以第3叶第2叶第1叶叶柄。同种土壤类型茶园铁观音茶树不同部位叶片的稀土元素组成特征类似,但叶与叶柄对稀土元素的吸收能力不同。土壤类型对茶叶稀土元素的累积有显著影响,黄红壤茶园的茶叶稀土元素含量要显著低于红壤、黄壤茶园的(P0.05)。土壤与茶叶中稀土元素组成的相关系数为0.886～0.985,P 0.001,表明二者稀土元素组成密切相关。因此,铁观音茶叶中稀土元素累积、分布与茶园土壤类型有显著相关性。     

Plant Uptake and Enhanced Dissipation of Di(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) in Spiked Soils by Different Plant Species

This study was conducted to investigate the uptake, accumulation and the enhanced dissipation of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) spiked in soil (with a concentration of 117.4 ± 5.2 mg kg^?1) by eleven plants including eight maize ( Zea mays) cultivars and three forage species (alfalfa, ryegrass and teosinte). The results showed that, after 40 days of treatment, the removal rates of DEHP ranged from 66.8% (for the control) to 87.5% (for the maize cultivar of Huanong-1). Higher removal rate was observed during the first 10 days than the following days. Plants enhanced significantly the dissipation of DEHP in soil. Enhanced dissipation amount in planted soil was 13.3–122 mg pot^?1 for DEHP, and a net removal of 2.2%–20.7% of the initial DEHP was obtained compared with non-plant soil. The contribution of plant uptake to the total enhanced dissipation was <0.3%, and the enhanced dissipation of soil DEHP might be derived from plant-promoted biodegradation and sorption stronger to the soil. Nevertheless, the capability in accumulation and enhanced dissipation of DEHP from spiked soils varied within different species and cultivars.     

Effects of Rare Earth Elements on the Growth of Arnebia euchroma Cells and the Biosynthesis of Shikonin

Nd³⁺, La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ at proper concentrations had positive effects on the cell growth of Arnebia euchroma and production of shikonin derivatives. A mixture of rare earth elements (MRE, La₂O₃:CeO₂:Pr₆O₁₁: Sm₂O₃ = 255:175:3:1, mol/mol) behaved the most remarkable effects. Two-stage culture was used for the cell proliferation and the biosynthesis of shikonin derivatives. After 20 days culture, 0.05 mM MRE gave the highest cell biomass (24.8 g dry weight l⁻¹), which was 98.0% higher than that without rare earth elements. Similarly, when 0.05 mM MRE was added to the biosynthesis medium, the highest content (8.9% dry weight) and production (571.1 mg l⁻¹) of shikonin derivatives were obtained, which were 89.4% and 165.3% higher than those without rare earth elements, respectively. The increase of the cell biomass and shikonin derivatives may due to increasing the activities of peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase caused by the addition of the rare earth elements.

稀土元素对短叶对齿藓生理生化的研究

通过测定分析3个主要生理指标过氧化物酶（POD）活性、丙二醛（MDA）含量和叶绿素含量的变化,研究了短叶对齿藓组培苗在6个不同浓度梯度的轻稀土La³⁺,Ce⁴⁺和重稀土Y³⁺单一元素胁迫下的生理响应和变化。结果如下：（1）短叶对齿藓体内的过氧化物酶（POD）活性和丙二醛（MDA）含量各处理组均低于对照组;Ce⁴⁺元素在3.55×10^-2 mmol·L^-1时显著提高了POD活性,在7.1×10^-2 mmol·L^-1时显著增加了膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛（MDA）含量。表明短叶对齿藓对Ce⁴⁺元素胁迫响应较强;而La³⁺元素各处理浓度间POD的变化较为平缓,胁迫响应较弱;Y³⁺处理居中。（2）较低浓度的La³⁺（1.8×10^-2 mmol·L^-1）和Ce⁴⁺（3.55×10^-2 mmol·L^-1）时显著提高叶绿素a、叶绿素b和总叶绿素含量;3种稀土元素在较高浓度时叶绿素的含量均有明显下降。本研究为进一步探明白云鄂博稀土矿区的苔藓植物生长发育受稀土元素的影响奠定了基础。     

Effects of Landscape Elements on the Distribution of the Rare Bumblebee Species Bombus muscorum in an Agricultural Landscape

The regional distribution pattern of Bombus muscorum was studied in an agricultural landscape of central Germany, one of two remaining areas with the occurrence of this nationally endangered species in the Land Hesse. To determine the landscape characteristics that facilitate the occurrence of B. muscorum, grid-based observation records were analysed in a GIS environment at a regional scale. A significantly negative effect of the number of trees on the occurrence of B. muscorum and a significantly positive one of the proportion of arable land, strongly support the species’ preference for open landscapes. Yet, apart from open landscapes additional landscape features were shown to be important. A significantly positive effect of ditches in the final model revealed the importance of this landscape element for the occurrence of B. muscorum. This finding was additionally supported by recordings of nest-searching queens, nests, and flower visits along dithes. The positive effects of clover and fallow land indicate the species’ need for suitable food resources throughout the season. Because B. muscorum exhibits small foraging ranges, it is essential that landscape elements that provide nesting sites, foraging habitats and undisturbed hibernation structures are next to each other. The low numbers of individuals of B. muscorum recorded indicate that the supply of these habitat elements may have reached a critical threshold in the study region.     

木耳菜在4种土壤中对Cs的吸收与转运研究

土壤类型是Cs污染植物修复技术的重要影响因素。采用盆栽试验,将木耳菜分别移栽在紫色土、水稻土、红壤和黄壤土中,待3叶期,分别施加不同浓度的Cs[0、20、40、80、120mg·kg~(-1) CsCl]处理10、20、30d后取样,分析木耳菜在4种土壤中对Cs的吸收与转运差异,探讨不同土壤类型、土壤pH值以及速效钾含量对木耳菜富集Cs的影响机制。结果显示:(1)不同土壤类型中木耳菜的Cs含量均与Cs施加浓度和处理时间呈显著正相关关系,植物各器官间Cs积累量大小依次为根叶茎,表明木耳菜的根、茎、叶在不同类型土壤中均能积累Cs,随着处理时间的延长,其吸收量随Cs施加浓度的增大而增加,但以根部的富集能力最强、积累量最大。(2)在不同土壤类型中和不同处理时间段,木耳菜对Cs的富集系数和转运系数均存在显著差异,其富集与转运能力随着Cs施加浓度的增大以及处理时间的延长表现为先增后减,其地下部分富集系数显著高于地上部分,且黄壤土中木耳菜对Cs的富集能力明显高于其它3种土壤。(3)土壤中的钾含量和pH值影响木耳菜对Cs的吸收和富集,与紫色土、水稻土和红壤相比,黄壤土中的速效钾含量较低,pH适中,在不同处理时间段,木耳菜在黄壤土中对Cs的富集效率都最高,表明土壤中低含量的速效钾以及适中的pH值更利于木耳菜对Cs的吸收。     

Evaluation of Organic and Inorganic Amendments on Maize Growth and Uptake of Cd and Zn from Contaminated Paddy Soils

Pot and field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of soil amendments (cow manure, rice straw, zeolite, dicalcium phosphate) on the growth and metal uptake (Cd, Zn) of maize (Zea mays) grown in Cd/Zn contaminated soil. The addition of cow manure and rice straw significantly increased the dry biomass, shoot and root length, and grain yield of maize when compared with the control. In pot study, cow manure, rice straw, and dicalcium phosphate all proved effective in reducing Cd and Zn concentrations in shoots and roots. Cd and Zn concentrations in the grains of maize grown in field study plots with cow manure and dicalcium phosphate amendments to highly contaminated soil (Cd 36.5 mg kg^?1 and Zn 1520.8 mg kg^?1) conformed to acceptable standards for animal feed. Additionally both cow manure and dicalcium phosphate amendments resulted in the significant decrease of Cd and Zn concentrations in shoots of maize.     

Patterns of Plant Invasions: A Case Example in Native Species Hotspots and Rare Habitats

Land managers require landscape-scale information on where exotic plant species have successfully established, to better guide research, control, and restoration efforts. We evaluated the vulnerability of various habitats to invasion by exotic plant species in a 100,000 ha area in the southeast corner of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah. For the 97 0.1-ha plots in 11 vegetation types, exotic species richness (log₁₀) was strongly negatively correlated to the cover of cryptobiotic soil crusts (r = −0.47, P < 0.001), and positively correlated to native species richness (r = 0.22, P < 0.03), native species cover (r = 0.23, P < 0.05), and total nitrogen in the soil (r = 0.40, P < 0.001). Exotic species cover was strongly positively correlated to exotic species richness (r = 0.68, P < 0.001). Only 6 of 97 plots did not contain at least one exotic species. Exotic species richness was particularly high in locally rare, mesic vegetation types and nitrogen rich soils. Dry, upland plots (n = 51) had less than half of the exotic species richness and cover compared to plots (n = 45) in washes and lowland depressions that collect water intermittently. Plots dominated by trees had significantly greater native and exotic species richness compared to plots dominated by shrubs. For the 97 plots combined, 33% of the variance in exotic species richness could be explained by a positive relationship with total plant cover, and negative relationships with the cover of cryptobiotic crusts and bare ground. There are several reasons for concern: (1) Exotic plant species are invading hot spots of native plant diversity and rare/unique habitats. (2) The foliar cover of exotic species was greatest in habitats that had been invaded by several exotic species.(3) Continued disturbance of fragile cryptobiotic crusts by livestock, people, and vehicles may facilitate the further invasion of exotic plant species.

Evaluation of Garden Crop Mercury Uptake and Potential Exposure from Consumption of Garden Crops Grown on Floodplain Soils

ABSTRACT

This study investigated Hg uptake from soil into garden crops to help assess the significance of human consumption of crops as a potential route of exposure to Hg. Locations for both a floodplain and a control garden were identified within the Augusta Forestry Center near Crimora, VA, USA, which is about 16 river-km downstream from the city of Waynesboro, along the South River. The floodplain garden had measured soil Hg concentrations ranging from 4.2 to 78 mg Hg kg^?1 dry weight basis in the surface to 15-cm deep layer. A total of 139 samples from the floodplain garden from 17 different crops were analyzed for Hg. All crop samples (except for nine) had less than 0.1 μg Hg g^?1 wet weight basis (ww). Many samples were less than the method detection limit (MDL) of 0.003 μg Hg g^?1 ww. Based on the measured Hg concentrations and several conservative assumptions (e.g., Hg assumed present when less than MDL; 100% consumption from the geographical area in which study was conducted; and 100% bioavailable Hg as methyl Hg), consumption of crops with these Hg levels is not expected to be a significant route of Hg exposure.
