湿地生态水文结构理论与分析

针对水土资源开发利用引发的湿地消退问题,通过研究湿地水分运动与补给规律,分析湿地和径流进退的关系、湿地生境和生物的扩展关系,分析湿地水文连接度下降引起的湿地消退效应.根据湿地水循环原理和湿地生境空间分布规律,建立湿地径流场与生物多样性场的概念,从而提出湿地生态水文结构理论.以维持湿地存在、保障湿地生物多样性为目标,通过湿地径流场与生物多样性场的耦合关系,将湿地划分为中心区和适宜活动区,以维持湿地生态水文结构所需要的水分条件定义为湿地生态需水.湿地生态需水问题的核心为确定湿地生态水文结构,并以湿地中心区和适宜活动区为边界条件,通过地表水地下水转化的水量平衡模型对湿地生态需水量进行分析计算.以维持中心区的水分条件作为最小生态需水;维持适宜活动区的水分条件作为适宜生态需水.湿地生态水文结构更对湿地管理提供生态安全阈值.根据湿地生态水文结构的稳定程度,建立湿地生态安全危机管理机制,进行不同级别的预警管理.     

不同水稻土甲烷氧化菌和产甲烷菌数量与甲烷排放量之间相关性的研究

对不施用任何肥料的浙江黄松土（发育于河流沉积物母质的水稻田土）、老黄筋泥田土（发育于第四纪红壤母质的水稻田土）、青紫泥田土（发育于滨海盐土母质的象山青紫泥水稻土）中甲烷氧化菌、产甲烷菌种群数量及甲烷排放量之间关系作了研究。结果表明,甲烷氧化菌种群数量范围在10^6-10^8cfu/g干土之间,其变化在2个数量级范围内,产甲烷细菌种群数量变化较大,其范围在10^3-10^7cfu/g干土之间,水稻田土壤的甲烷排放量受到甲烷氧化菌、产甲烷菌种群数量及其活性及土壤理化性状的影响,提出了当水稻田土壤的甲烷氧化菌种群数量在10^cfu/g干土、产甲烷菌种群数量在10^5cfu/g干土时,水稻田土壤几乎没有多余的CH4气体排放这一甲烷形成与甲烷氧化两类群微生物之间的数量关系。甲烷排量也与土壤砂粒（＜0．02mm的砂数）含量呈正相关性,土壤砂粒含量越高,其甲烷排放量亦高。     

Distribution of sound pressure around a singing cricket: radiation pattern and asymmetry in the sound field

Male field crickets generate calls to attract distant females through tegminal stridulation: the rubbing together of the overlying right wing which bears a file of cuticular teeth against the underlying left wing which carries a sclerotized scraper. During stridulation, specialized areas of membrane on both wings are set into oscillating vibrations to produce acoustic radiation. The location of females is unknown to the calling males and thus increasing effective signal range in all directions will maximize transmission effectiveness. However, producing an omnidirectional sound field of high sound pressure levels may be problematic due to the mechanical asymmetry found in this sound generation system. Mechanical asymmetry occurs by the right wing coming to partially cover the left wing during the closing stroke phase of stridulation. As such, it is hypothesized that the sound field on the left-wing side of the animal will contain lower sound pressure components than on the right-wing side as a result of this coverage. This hypothesis was tested using a novel method to accurately record a high-resolution, three dimensional mapping of sound pressure levels around restrained Gryllus bimaculatus field crickets singing under pharmacological stimulation. The results indicate that a bilateral asymmetry is present across individuals, with greater amplitude components present in the right-wing side of the animal. Individual variation in sound pressure to either the right- or left-wing side is also observed. However, statistically significant differences in bilateral sound field asymmetry as presented here may not affect signalling in the field.     

Effects of 5 s exposures to a 50 microT, 20 Hz magnetic field on skin conductance and ratings of affect and arousal

This study investigated the effect of a weak magnetic field (50 microT, 20 Hz sinusoidal, 5 s duration) on concurrent perceptions of visual stimuli. Subjects were seated between Helmholtz coils and gave post-exposure ratings for the affective content and arousing nature of presented images. They were blind as to the presence or absence of a simultaneously presented field. Skin conductance and arousal ratings did not show significant differences between experimental and control conditions, but the affective content rating did (P = 0.041), with the images viewed under field exposure being rated as having a more positive affect. Such measures might thus be useful as additional indicators of magnetic field detection. A post-hoc analysis of skin conductance profiles showed that 48% of subjects exhibited a lowering of skin conductance during field exposure, 34% exhibited no apparent reaction, and 17% exhibited an increase. Overall ratings given by each of the groups appeared to relate to these physiological profiles.     

Assessment of exposure to intermediate frequency electric fields and contact currents from a plasma ball

While electric fields at intermediate frequencies are not widely utilized for industrial technologies, surprisingly, certain toys emit the highest electric fields found in our living environment. These toys, plasma balls, are devices that use high voltage to create ionized light discharges. In this study, we assessed exposure to electric fields and contact/induced current from a recreational plasma ball device. The electric field strength was measured as a function of distance from the device, and the contact/induced current was measured with a current clamp in different exposure situations with point or grasping contact. The characteristic spectra of the electric field and contact current were measured, and both the multiple frequency rule and weighting of the spectra were applied according to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 and 2010 guidelines. The results indicate that the recommended reference levels for the general public are exceeded at distances <1.2 m, and that the contact currents in the hand may be twice higher than recommended by the general public guidelines.     

Taxonomic assessment of the allopatric gray-cheeked mangabey (Cercocebus albigena) and black mangabey (C. aterrimus): Comparative socioecological data and the species concept

A brief review of past taxonomic assessments of the allopatric gray-cheeked mangabey (Cercocebus albigena) and the black mangabey (Cercocebus aterrimus) is presented. On the basis of pelage, cranial, and biomolecular morphology, aterrimus and albigena have been lumped together in the same species-group, superspecies, subgenus, or species by various systematists over the years. A comparison of the available socioecological data on the two forms supports their close taxonomic association, as they are found to be very similar in socioecological traits. After a brief review of current species concepts, the author, on the basis of the socioecological commonalities, tentatively supports Groves' [1978] conspecific designation of albigena and aterrimus and suggests further tests for this proposal and for the species concept, from the points of view of both taxonomic and evolutionary theory.     

改进的植物生态场模型与实例分析

生态场理论是受物理学“场”思想的启示,在经典生态学的理论基础上,以一种演绎的思维方式和较为严格的定量、直观、综合的模型,探求生物间以及生物与环境间相互作用的机制与规律。生态场理论的主要问题是建立合理的生态场模型。对植物生态场强度、生态势的概念作了进一步的说明,并利用IRM(In tegrated rate m ethodo logy)方法改进植物生态场强度、生态势的模型,改进了场源植物的生态场作用范围模型,明确了植物生态场的物质性。将生态场理论的各个模型应用于半湿润半干旱地区榆树疏林中家榆个体产生的生态场行为研究中,结果表明在家榆个体产生的生态场作用范围内,随着与家榆距离的增加,场源家榆对其它植物生长的影响是先有利而后不利;对土壤分层分析结果表明在土壤浅层(0~0.2m),家榆与其它植物间的竞争较弱,而在地下0.2~0.4m处生态场强度有最小值,说明植物间资源竞争强烈;场源家榆产生的生态场在土壤上层(0~0.1m)的作用范围最大,随土壤深度增加,作用范围逐渐减小,至地下0.3~0.4m最小,而后生态场作用范围又有所增大。在模型的应用过程与结果分析中,体现出改进后的生态场模型的实际可操作性强、对生态学问题能够定量化、直观化研究的优点。     

Effect of magnetic fields on antioxidative defense and fitness-related traits of Baculum extradentatum (insecta, phasmatodea)

This study aimed to determine the effect of magnetic fields on the antioxidative defense and fitness-related traits of Baculum extradentatum. Following exposure to magnetic fields, antioxidative defense (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities, and total glutathione (GSH) content) and fitness-related traits (egg mortality, development dynamics, and mass of nymphs) were monitored in nymphs. The experimental groups were: control (kept out of influence of the magnets), a group exposed to a constant magnetic field (CMF) of 50 mT, and a group exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) of 50 Hz, 6 mT. We found increased SOD and CAT activities in animals exposed to constant and AMFs, whereas GSH activity was not influenced by experimental magnetic fields. No differences were found in egg mortality between control and experimental groups. Significant differences in the time of development between the control and the CMF group were observed, as well as between the CMF and the AMF group. No differences were found in the mass of the nymphs between the three experimental groups. In conclusion, CMF and AMF have the possibility to modulate the antioxidative defense and some of the fitness-related traits in B. extradentatum.     

Histophotometric Quantification of the Field Effect and the Extended Field Effect of Tumors

Histophotometric investigations have been made on samples of human skin. Fresh frozen serial sections were fixed and stained for either reactive protein thiols (PSH,) or total reactive protein sulphur (TRPS) using modifications of the DDD-Fast blue B-method. In addition, total protein thiols (PSH,) were stained with the Mercurochromcyanide-method, and proteins were stained using a modified amido-black procedure. Significant differences were found between the different tumours investigated and normal tissue, and also between apparently normal tissue adjacent to the tumours and normal tissue from patients without tumour. To reveal such tumour-related changes of apparently normal tissue, termed the field effect of tumours, a double quotient had to be calculated from the PSH,- and TWS-values determined from both epithelium (epidermis) and connective tissue. In addition, abdominal skin was investigated from patients without tumour and patients with tumours of the female genital tract, liver or breast. With the aid of the double quotient procedure, highly significant differences were found between normal abdominal skin of patients without tumours versus similar samples taken from patients with tumours. The tumour-related changes found with abdominal skin distant from the tumours have been termed the extended field effect of tumours. These general tumour-related changes, independent of the size, state or degree of malignancy of the distant tumour, could be shown to be due to changes in abdominal dermis.     

亚磁场对雄性小鼠神经递质、 激素和血常规的影响

本研究主要是探讨连续亚磁场环境暴露对C57BL/6雄性小鼠（Mus musculus domesticus）神经递质、激素含量和血常规参数的影响。实验组为亚磁场暴露组（1.1 ± 0.5）μT,对照组为地磁场组（53.3 ± 0.2）μT。实验对象分别为3周龄幼年小鼠和8周龄成年小鼠。幼年小鼠随机分为实验组与对照组,每组42 只;成年小鼠也随机分为实验组与对照组,每组36只。幼年小鼠在两种磁场环境中的暴露时间为1 ~ 5周,成年小鼠的暴露时间为1、3、6、9、12周。采用液相色谱-质谱联用法（LC-MS）检测小鼠脑组织及血清中的神经递质含量,包括5-羟色胺（5-HT）、多巴胺（DA）、乙酰胆碱（Ach）、去甲肾上腺素（NA）、γ-氨基丁酸（GABA）;用 ELISA 方法检测小鼠血清中的激素含量,包括甲状腺素（T4）、生长激素（GH）、去甲肾上腺素（NA）;血常规在北京大学医学部检测。采用独立样本 t 检验对实验组与对照组的检测结果进行差异分析。与地磁场组相比,亚磁场组幼年小鼠脑组织多巴胺（DA）含量在第5周有显著降低（P < 0.05）,血清中的甲状腺素（T4）含量在第 2和5 周有显著降低（P < 0.05）,去甲肾上腺素（NA）含量在第4周出现显著性降低（P < 0.01）;与地磁场组相比,成年小鼠脑组织5-羟色胺（5-HT）、去甲肾上腺素（NA）含量在处理1周时均出现显著性降低（P < 0.05）,血清中5-羟色胺（5-HT）含量在第3周也出现显著性降低（P < 0.01）,甲状腺素（T4）含量在第 3、6、12 周出现显著性降低（P < 0.05）。血常规结果显示,成年和幼年小鼠的白细胞（WBC）在暴露早期第1周和第2周分别出现显著性增多（P < 0.01）,其他参数基本无变化。本研究发现,两个年龄段的小鼠对亚磁场响应的指标不完全一致,仅甲状腺素（T4）在两个年龄段小鼠的体内都出现显著性降低。通过本研究说明,甲状腺素（T4）、5-羟色胺（5-HT）、去甲肾上腺素（NA）、多巴胺（DA）和白细胞（WBC）可能是不同年龄段小鼠对亚磁场环境暴露较为敏感的生理指标,可在今后的亚磁场生物效应研究中重点关注。     

Plasma concentrations of thyroxine in dairy cows exposed to 60 Hz electric and magnetic fields

Two experiments were carried out to assess the effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMF) on blood thyroxine (T4) in dairy cattle. In experiment 1, 16 lactating pregnant Holstein cows were exposed to 10 kV/m, 30 microTesla (microT) EMF. The animals were divided into two groups of eight animals each. Each group was exposed to EMF according to one of two treatment sequences of three periods of 28 days each. Sequence 1 was EMF OFF-ON-OFF and sequence 2 was EMF ON-OFF-ON. During the last day of each treatment period, blood samples were collected every 4 h for 24 h to estimate T4 plasma concentrations. In experiment 2, 16 nonlactating, nonpregnant, multiparous Holsteins were exposed to 10 kV/m, 30 microT EMF. The animals were divided into two groups of eight animals each. Each group was exposed to EMF according to one of the two treatment sequences described above, except that each period amounted to the number of days corresponding to one estrous cycle. During treatment, blood samples were collected every other day for T4 analysis. In both experiments, the light cycle emulated a short photoperiod (8 h light/16 h dark). During the ON periods, the animals were exposed to EMF for 16 h, 8 h of the light period plus the first 8 h of during the dark period. In experiment 1, exposed animals did not have any change in T4 plasma concentrations due to treatment (P = .0968), but, the time of sample collection revealed a significant difference (P = .0012). In experiment 2, the effect of period (P = .0009) and the treatment by days interaction (P = .0003) were statistically significant. We conclude that a worst case scenario exposure of dairy cattle to 10 kV/m, 30 microT EMF influences, in a moderate fashion, the blood levels of thyroxine.

Growth and yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and corn (Zea mays L.) near a high voltage transmission line

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an electromagnetic field from a high voltage transmission line on the yield of agricultural crops cultivated underneath and near the transmission line. For 5 years, experiments with winter wheat and corn were carried out near the 380 kV transmission line Dürnrohr (Austria)-Slavetice (Czech Republic). Different field strengths were tested by planting the crops at different distances from the transmission line. The plants were grown in experimental plots (1.77 m2), aligned to equal electric field strengths, and were cultivated according to standard agricultural practice. The soil for all plots was homogenized layer-specifically to a depth of 0.5 m to guarantee uniform soil conditions in the plant root environment. The soil was sampled annually for determinations of carbon content and the behavior of microbial biomass. During development of the vegetation, samples were collected at regular intervals for growth rate analyses. At physiological maturity, the plots (n = 8) were harvested for grain and straw yield determinations. The average electric and magnetic field strengths at four distances from the transmission line (nominal distances: 40, 14, 8, and 2 m) were between 0.2 and 4.0 kV/m and between 0.4 and 4.5 micro T, respectively. No effect of the field exposures on soil microbial biomass could be detected. The wheat grain yields were 7% higher (average of 5 years) in the plots with the lowest field exposure than in the plots nearer to the transmission line (P <.10). The responses of the plants were more pronounced in years with drought episodes during grain filling than in humid years. No significant yield differences were found for corn yields. The extent of the yield variations attributed to the distance from the transmission line was small compared to the observed annual variations in climatic or soil specific site characteristics.     

稻田实行保护性耕作对水稻产量、土壤理化及生物学性状的影响

在江西双季稻田进行长期田间定位试验,分析了多年保护性耕作对水稻产量、土壤理化性状及生物学性状的影响。连续8a稻田保护性耕作处理的平均产量高于传统耕作4.46%—8.79%,各处理的有效穗数、每穗粒数和结实率均高于对照,而各处理间穗长和千粒重差异不显著。实行稻田保护性耕作处理的土壤容重低于传统耕作3.6%—5.6%,而总孔隙度和毛管孔隙度分别高出传统耕作1.6%—17.4%、2.4%—16.7%。与传统耕作相比,连续8a保护性耕作显著提高了土壤有机质(2.9%—10.0%)、有效磷(4.8%—31.6%)、速效钾(9.7%—25.7%)。在2005年免耕+插秧的土壤真菌数量最多,显著高于对照处理51.6%,免耕+抛秧在2008年达到最大,显著高于对照处理54.1%。2012年免耕+抛秧、免耕+插秧显著高于对照126.1%、121.1%;另外,各处理间过氧化氢酶、脲酶活性均差异不显著。8a间土壤转化酶活性变化范围在0.292—0.451 mg/g之间,其中2005—2007、2012年均是免耕+抛秧达到最大,与对照相比,增加范围为72.7%—137.7%,且差异显著(P0.05)。因此,实行稻田保护性耕作是适合江南丘陵区双季稻区农业可持续发展的有效模式之一,其中免耕+抛秧和免耕+插秧两种方式效果最为显著。

Exposure chamber for determining the biological effects of electric and magnetic fields on dairy cows

An exposure chamber was designed to study the effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMF) on oestrous cycles, hormonal profile during gestation, pineal function, quantity and quality of milk production, feed intake, and central nervous system of dairy cattle. The chamber was 15 x 10 x 3 m; and the control system was fully computerized so that the field intensities can be varied and monitored continuously, on site or remotely. During exposure to EMF, milk production, feed consumption, and health were monitored closely and blood and cerebral spinal fluid were continuously sampled. The chamber characteristics allow use of a wide range of exposure such as electric fields (0-30 kV/m) and magnetic fields (0-100 microT) at frequencies ranging from 45 to 3000 Hz.     

The trajectories of particles suspended in electrolytes under the influence of crossed electric and magnetic fields

We observed that particles, suspended in an electrolyte and brought into crossed magnetic and electric fields of low intensities, will deviate in the central part of the electrophoresis chamber of a standard Zeiss Cytopherometer with a component vertical to both fields. The direction and magnitude, however, were sharply at variance with what would be expected by the action of the Lorentz force (EMF) on the surface of the particles. The magnitude of the deviation depends upon the magnetic and electric field strength, the ion concentration of the suspension medium and the geometry of the chamber. The movement of the particles is due to streaming of the electrolyte which is mainly caused by inhomogeneities of the electric field in the electrophoresis chamber. The magnitude of the effect is high enough to occur under physiological conditions. Magneto-electrophoretic streaming might eventually act as a transducer mechanism which could explain the ability of some animals to orientate themselves in the geomagnetic field.
