Summary Soil columns were exposed to balanced (low Na+) or unbalanced (high Na+) high-salt solutions for a period of 7 days followed by 7 days of stress reflief. Total numbers of bacteria released into
the perfusates rose under both types of stress, but the proportion of displaced bacteria that were viable fell significantly.
Relief from both types of stress stimulated rapid increases in the number of viable micro-organisms released from soil. Examination
of the soils at the end of the relief periods revealed that soils exposed to stress contained more viable bacteria than the
non-stressed controls. However, high levels of balanced stress led to a significant decrease in species diversity within the
microbial population, but a similar effect was not observed in soils exposed to unbalanced, high Na+ stress. These results suggest that, while salt stress may cause a significant reduction in the number of microorganisms in
a soil, a large portion of the microbial population can rapidly adapt to marked changes in salinity. 相似文献

Flood tolerance is commonly regarded as the main factor explaining low diversity and monodominance in tropical swamps. In this study we examined seedling mortality in relation to seasonality, i.e., flooding versus drought, of the dominant tree species (Prioria copaifera), and three associated species (Pterocarpus officinalis, Carapa guianensis and Pentaclethra macroloba), in seasonally flooded forests (SFF) in Darien, Panama. Seedling mortality differed among species, years and seasons. Prioria seedlings experienced the lowest overall mortality, and after 3 years many more Prioria seedlings remained alive than those of any of the associated species. In general, within species, larger seedlings had greater survival. Seed size, which can vary by close to 2 orders of magnitude in Prioria, had a confounding effect with that of topography. Large-seeded Prioria seedlings experienced 1.5 times greater mortality than small-seeded seedlings, as large-seeded Prioria seedlings were more likely to be located in depressions. This finding suggests that seed size, plant size and topography are important in understanding SFF regeneration. For all species, seedling mortality was consistently greater during the dry season than during flooding. For Prioria, dry season seedling mortality was correlated with drought stress, that is, high mortality during the long El Niño dry season of 1998 and the normal dry season of 2000, but very low dry season mortality during the mild dry season of 1999. Prioria’s ability to dominate in seasonally flooded forest of Central America is partly explained by its low drought-related mortality in comparison to associated species. 相似文献

Groups of Actinidia deliciosa A. Chev. C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson var. deliciosa kiwifruit plants were subjected to soil water shortage (D), while other groups were well irrigated (I). Variations in chlorophyll
(Chl) a fluorescence indices and leaf gas exchange were determined once plants were severely stressed (25 d after the beginning of
the D-cycle). Daily maximum values of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) were ca. 1 650 μmol(photon) m−2 s−1, while air temperatures peaked at 34.6 °C. High irradiance per se did not greatly affect the efficiency of photosystem (PS) 2, but predisposed its synergistic reduction by D co-occurrence.
Fluorescence showed transient photodamage of PS2 with a complete recovery in the afternoon in both D and I plants. Upon re-watering
the efficiency of PS2 was suboptimal (95 %) at day 2 after irrigation was reinitiated. At early morning of the day 5 of re-watering,
photosynthesis and stomatal conductance recovered at about 95 and 80 % of I vines, respectively, indicating some after-stress
effect on stomatal aperture. Once excessive photons reached PS2, the thermal dissipation of surplus excitation energy was
the main strategy to save the photosynthetic apparatus and to optimize carbon fixation. The rather prompt recovery of both
Chl a fluorescence indices and net photosynthetic rate during re-watering indicated that kiwifruit photosynthetic apparatus is
prepared to cope with temporary water shortage under Mediterranean-type-climates. 相似文献

Rotator cuff stress during upper limb weight-bearing lifts presumably contribute to rotator cuff disease, which is the most common cause of shoulder pain in individuals with tetraplegia. Elbow extension strength appears to be a key determinant of rotator cuff stress during upper limb weight-bearing lifts since individuals with paraplegia who generate greater elbow extensor moments experience lower rotator cuff stress relative to individuals with tetraplegia. Biceps-to-triceps transfer surgery can increase elbow extension strength in individuals with tetraplegia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether active elbow extension via biceps transfer decreases rotator cuff stress during weight-bearing lifts in individuals with tetraplegia. A forward dynamics computational framework was used to estimate muscle stress during the lift; stress was computed as muscle force divided by the peak isometric muscle force. We hypothesized that rotator cuff stresses would be lower in simulated lifting with biceps transfer relative to simulated lifting without biceps transfer. We found that limited elbow extension strength in individuals with tetraplegia, regardless of whether elbow strength is enabled via biceps transfer or is residual after spinal cord injury, results in muscle stresses exceeding 85% of the peak isometric muscle stress in the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor. The rotator cuff stresses we estimated suggest that performance of weight-bearing activities should be minimized or assisted in order to reduce the risk for shoulder pain. Our results also indicate that biceps transfer is unlikely to decrease rotator cuff stress during weight-bearing lifts in individuals with tetraplegia. 相似文献

Young olive plants (Olea europaea L.) were grown either in hydroponic or soil culture in a glasshouse over two growing seasons. Plants were exposed to NaCl concentrations between 0 and 200 mM for 34–35 days followed by 30–34 days of relief from stress to determine the effect of salinity on gas exchange of two cultivars ('Frantoio' and 'Leccino') differing in salt-exclusion capacity. Salinity stress brought about a reduction in net CO2 assimilation and stomatal conductance in both cultivars, but the effect was more pronounced in the salt tolerant 'Frantoio' than in the salt-sensitive 'Leccino' cultivar. Therefore, gas exchange parameters may be misleading if used to evaluate the salt tolerance of olive genotypes. Recovery in gas exchange parameters during relief from stress was slower in the salt sensitive cultivar. In general, the decline in assimilation reflected the salt-induced reduction in stomatal conductance, but a marked effect on carboxylation efficiency and CO2 compensation point was measured in plants treated with 200 mM NaCl for four weeks. The cultivar 'Frantoio' showed a 50% reduction in assimilation and stomatal conductance at 146 and 78 mM leaf Na+ concentration (tissue water molar basis) respectively, whereas the corresponding 50% thresholds for the cultivar 'Leccino' were at 275 and 264 mM, respectively. 相似文献

Inferred dietary preference is a major component of paleoecologies of extinct primates. Molar occlusal shape correlates with diet in living mammals, so teeth are a potentially useful structure from which to reconstruct diet in extinct taxa. We assess the efficacy of Dirichlet normal energy (DNE) calculated for molar tooth surfaces for reflecting diet. We evaluate DNE, which uses changes in normal vectors to characterize curvature, by directly comparing this metric to metrics previously used in dietary inference. We also test whether combining methods improves diet reconstructions. The study sample consisted of 146 lower (mandibular) second molars belonging to 24 euarchontan taxa. Five shape quantification metrics were calculated on each molar: DNE, shearing quotient, shearing ratio, relief index, and orientation patch count rotated (OPCR). Statistical analyses were completed for each variable to assess effects of taxon and diet. Discriminant function analysis was used to assess ability of combinations of variables to predict diet. Values differ significantly by diets for all variables, although shearing ratios and OPCR do not distinguish statistically between insectivores and folivores or omnivores and frugivores. Combined analyses were much more effective at predicting diet than any metric alone. Alone, relief index and DNE were most effective at predicting diet. OPCR was the least effective alone but is still valuable as the only quantitative measure of surface complexity. Of all methods considered, DNE was the least methodologically sensitive, and its effectiveness suggests it will be a valuable tool for dietary reconstruction. 相似文献

Stress‐Relieved Nanowires by Silicon Substitution for High‐Capacity and Stable Lithium Storage 下载免费PDF全文

Silicon is promising as a high energy anode for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries. However, severe capacity fading upon cycling associated with huge volume change is still an obstacle for silicon toward practical applications. Herein, the authors report that Si‐substituted Zn2(GeO4)0.8(SiO4)0.2 nanowires can effectively suppress volume expansion effect, exhibiting high specific capacity (1274 mA h g?1 at 0.2 A g?1 after 700 cycles) and ultralong cycling stability (2000 cycles at 5 A g?1 with a capacity decay rate of 0.008% per cycle), which represents outstanding comprehensive performance. The superior performance is ascribed to the substitution of Si atom that imparts to the nanowires not only high reactivity and reversibility, but also the unique stress‐relieved property upon lithiation which is further confirmed by detailed density‐functional theory computation. This work provides a new guideline for designing high‐performance Si‐based materials toward practical energy storage applications. 相似文献
