黔西北次生林优势树种叶片-凋落物-土壤连续体有机质碳稳定同位素特征

稳定性碳同位素自然丰度(δ13C)能够揭示生态系统长时间尺度的有机碳动态变化,阐明生态系统功能的变化特征。以黔西北次生林14个优势树种为研究对象,测定叶片、凋落物以及根区土壤有机碳含量和δ13C值,分析不同层次碳含量和δ13C丰度之间的相关性。结果表明:14个优势树种叶片碳含量为404.67—487.14 g/kg,总体为针叶树种较高、常绿灌木较低;δ13C值为-31.2‰—-27.1‰,随生活型的变化规律不明显。凋落物碳含量为414.62—561.31 g/kg,与叶片碳含量的变化规律较为一致;δ13C值为-31.5‰—-27.3‰,随树种生活型的变化特征也不明显。根区土壤碳含量为10.02—91.59 g/kg,δ13C值为-26.8‰—-22.5‰,碳含量以光皮桦、银白杨等落叶乔木较高。叶片、凋落物和根区土壤3个层次的碳含量与δ13C丰度之间均呈不显著相关,不同层次的δ13C丰度之间和碳含量之间均为正相关。研究结果有助于反映森林生态系统碳循环过程的关键信息,为森林植被恢复提供理论依据。     

Viral metagenomics reveals diverse viruses in the fecal samples of children with diarrhea

Diarrhea is the third leading cause of death in developing countries in children under the age of five. About half a million children die of diarrhea every year, most of which in developing countries. Viruses are the main pathogen of diarrhea. In China, the fecal virome of children with diarrhea has been rarely studied. Using an unbiased viral metagenomics approach, we analyzed the fecal virome in children with diarrhea. Many DNA or RNA viruses associated with diarrhea identified in those fecal samples were mainly from six families of Adenoviridae, Astroviridae, Caliciviridae, Parvoviridae, Picornaviridae, and Reoviridae. Among them, the family of Caliciviridae accounts for the largest proportion of 78.42%, following with Adenoviridae (8.94%) and Picornaviridae (8.36%). In addition to those diarrhea-related viruses that have already been confirmed to cause human diarrhea, the viruses not associated with diarrhea were also identified including anellovirus and picobirnavirus. This study increased our understanding of diarrheic children fecal virome and provided valuable information for the prevention and treatment of viral diarrhea in this area.     

Ungulate bocaparvovirus 4 and rodent bocavirus are different genotypes of the same species of virus

Bocaviruses are associated with many human infectious diseases, such as respiratory tract infections, gastroenteritis, and hepatitis. Rats are known to be reservoirs of bocaviruses, including rodent bocavirus and rat bocavirus. Recently, ungulate bocaparvovirus 4, a known porcine bocavirus, has also been found in rats. Thus, investigating bocaviruses in rats is important for determining the origin of the viruses and preventing and controlling their transmission. To the best of our knowledge, no study to date has investigated bocaviruses in the livers of rats. In this report, a total of 624 rats were trapped in southern China between 2014 and 2017. Liver and serum samples from rats were tested for the prevalence of bocaviruses using PCR. Sequences related to ungulate bocaparvovirus 4 and rodent bocavirus were detected in both liver and serum samples. Interestingly, the prevalence of ungulate bocaparvovirus 4 (reference strain:KJ622366.1) was higher than that of rodent bocavirus (reference strain:KY927868.1) in both liver (2.24% and 0.64%, respectively) and serum samples (2.19% and 0.44%, respectively). The NS1 regions of ungulate bocaparvovirus 4 and rodent bocavirus related sequences displayed over 84% and 88% identity at the nucleic acid and amino acid levels, respectively. Furthermore, these sequences had similar genomic structure, genomic features, and codon usage bias, and shared a common ancestor. These viruses also displayed greater adaptability to rats than pigs. Our results suggested that ungulate bocaparvovirus 4 and rodent bocavirus may originate from rats and may be different genotypes of the same bocavirus species.     

不同培肥措施对红壤茶园土壤微生物量碳的影响

研究了经过4年不同培肥措施后红壤茶园土壤微生物量碳变化.结果表明:稻草覆盖后不同比例有机无机肥配施、间作三叶草以及全施化肥处理对土壤微生物量碳均有明显提高;全年土壤微生物量碳年变化都呈现"低-高-低-高"的趋势,且在不同时期对微生物量碳的影响不同;与对照(CK)相比,稻草覆盖 100%有机肥(T1)、稻草覆盖 75%有机肥 25%化肥(T2)、稻草覆盖 50%有机肥 50%化肥(T3)、稻草覆盖 25%有机肥 75%化肥(T4)、100%化肥(T5)和间作三叶草 不施肥(T6)土壤微生物量碳全年平均值分别高出17.05%、32.38%、32.05%、24.30%、26.23%和24.63%,且差异均达到显著水平(P＜0.05);土壤微生物量碳与活性有机质、土壤全氮、微生物量氮、微生物量磷呈显著正相关,与速效氮、土壤全磷、土壤全钾、土壤含水量之间关系不显著;与单施化肥和全量投入有机物料相比,有机物和化肥配合施用更有利于提高土壤肥力.

江苏省生态文明建设水平指标体系构建与评估

生态文明建设是近期学者、政府和公众关注的焦点,科学评价区域生态文明发展水平、明确关键制约因素是推动生态文明建设的基础。以地处中国东部沿海的江苏省为例,在全面分析已有指标体系的基础上,综合考虑关联性、针对性、适用性和可获性,构建包含生态经济、生态环境、生态生活、生态文化和生态制度在内的指标体系,对2007年、2012年江苏省生态文明建设水平和各指标的进步率进行评价。结果表明:江苏省生态文明建设水平迅速提高,生态文化和生态生活水平提升最快,生态经济和生态制度文明水平有一定增加,而生态环境改善较慢;江苏生态文明建设水平处于全国中等偏上位置,但资源消耗和污染物产生强度仍然较高、生态环境质量并未得到实质性改善、绿色生活方式尚有待提升、有利于生态建设和环境保护的生态文明制度尚未系统建立。推动发展方式转型、加强生态环境保护和完善生态制度是未来推动生态文明建设的重点工作。
