海岸护林卫士—火炬松

火炬松(Pinus taeda)又名台大松,原产美国南部,在原产地树高可达30米左右。该树种喜温暖湿润的气候,能耐干燥瘠薄的土壤;具有很强的抗松毛虫和松干蚧的特性,对海风和海雾也有较强的抗性。我国安徽、江苏、浙江、福建、广东和江西等省均已广泛引种。火炬松一般在3月下旬开始     

轮虫

轮虫中浮游动物中的一个重要成员，广泛分布于各类淡水水域中，是经济水生动物的开口铒料和优质食物。有纤毛的头冠，骨质化的口器和焰茎球的原肾管是轮虫主要形态结构特征。研究轮虫可深入了解无脊椎动物的系统发育，亦可促进它的开发、利用。

珍爱生命、关注社会、抗击禽流感--7年级生物学课堂实录

2004年初，我国及周边一些国家和地区先后发生禽流感(H5N1)疫情，个别国家还发生了从禽到人的疫情，并且有可能发生从人到人的传播。一时间，禽流感成了公众关注的焦点，在国务院号召全民防治禽流感的时刻，生物学教师更应该积极响应，在生物学教学中落实STS教育，加强禽流感知识的普及，培养学     

浅析补碘的误区

在教学中经常遇到这样的问题：最有效、安全、方便的补碘方法是什么?多数学生回答为服用碘油丸。由此可见，多数同学对补碘还存在着许多误区，具体分析如下：     

深圳大学校园规划建设的革新精神与人文内涵

深圳大学校园建筑被誉为学院派跨世纪佳作，是富有创新精神的深大人集体智慧的结晶，和许多大学比，其建筑结构与布局表现了先锋性（新）和独创性（异）、“异”指摆脱了老旧大学的传统建筑套路，“新”则在于体现了改革开放的时代精神和超前意识，校园民人和环境的协调关系，努力创造具有亲和力的“场”，顺应经济化的未来趋势，突出科技的地位和发展智能的重要性，寄寓“天地人和”的理想，从而使校园整体建构具有恒久的人价值     

Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.
