Dynamics in foliar litter decomposition for Pinus koraiensis and Quercus mongolica in a snow-depth manipulation experiment

气候变化导致的冬季雪被格局变化将改变地表水热环境及分解者活性, 从而显著影响高寒地区森林凋落物分解过程。2014-2016年采用凋落物分解袋法, 研究了帽儿山森林生态站人工林控雪模拟试验下红松(Pinus koraiensis)和蒙古栎(Quercus mongolica)的凋落叶于雪被期和无雪期不同阶段的分解动态。控雪试验包括增雪、除雪和对照3个处理。结果发现: 树种、控雪处理、分解阶段以及环境因子(凋落物层平均温度、冻融循环次数、有机层全氮、全磷含量等)均影响着凋落叶分解率。分解试验的两年内, 不同控雪处理下红松凋落叶的分解率为52.1%-54.5%, 蒙古栎为53.9%-59.1%。两种凋落叶的分解系数均以增雪处理最大, 除雪处理最小。此外, 控雪处理改变了两种凋落叶雪被期或无雪期对分解总量的贡献率。与对照相比, 增雪处理使红松和蒙古栎凋落叶雪被期的分解贡献率分别提高9.1%和10.4%; 而除雪处理使两种凋落叶无雪期的分解贡献率分别提高10.4%和12.7%。因此, 由气候变化带来的冬季雪被改变不但会显著影响温带森林凋落叶的分解过程, 而且会改变雪被期和无雪期的分解量对年分解总量的贡献率。     

猫后内侧外上雪氏区视神经元最优方向的组织

以不同角度插入微电极,定量分析了猫后内侧上雪氏区（ＰＭＬＳ区）细胞对运动光棒方向偏好的组织特征。结果显示：垂直于皮层表面相继记录的细胞,最优方向倾向于相似,其变化率显著低于电极平行或倾斜于皮层表面的测量值。提示该区细胞对运动刺激的方向选择性以垂直于皮层表面的“功能柱”的形式组织起来。在柱内最优方向基本保持不变     

乳鼠外周神经雪旺氏细胞的体外培养和纯化的研究

本文取５～７天ＳＤ新生大鼠坐骨神经剪碎,用０．２５％胰蛋白酶及０．０３％胶原酶在３７℃消化４５分钟,吹打分散后接种于培养瓶。培养基为含１０％胎牛血清的Ｆ１０。接种后４８小时,加入阿糖胞苷（Ａｒａ－ｃ,Ｓｉｇｍａ）１０－５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ处理,４８小时后换每毫升含神经生长因子（ＮＧＦ）１００μｇ的培养液,刺激雪旺氏细胞（ＳＣ）生长５～７天。此时根据成纤维细胞去除的情况,可再次加入Ａｒａ－Ｃ１～２天或转为无血清培养基一周。这种抗有丝分裂法结合无血清培养法,既能有效去除成纤维细胞,又能减少对ＳＣ的损伤,获得的ＳＣ纯净度可达９８％。     

斑斓美叶雪花木

雪花木（Breynianivaosa；syn．Phyllantthusdisticha）又称二列黑面神，英文名称“Snow－bush”，为大戟科黑面神属常绿灌木。其野生种高可达３m，但栽培时高仅达１．５m而已。叶互生，卵形或阔卵形，长２—２．５cm，排成两列使小枝似羽状复叶。叶缘有白色或乳白色斑点。新叶色泽更加鲜明。花小，极不显眼。雪花木起源于南太平洋岛群玻里尼西亚。性喜高温，耐寒性差。生长适温２２—３０℃；在冰点以下植株即遭损害；－４℃以下植株地上部分基本死亡，但有时又可从根部抽出新枝，－７℃以下整个植株全部死亡。需全日照或半日照栽培。置…     

禄丰食肉类化石记述

自1975年以来已在禄丰西瓦古猿(腊玛古猿)化石产地进行过多次发掘。在晚中新世的褐煤地层中,除获数量较多的古猿及小灵长类化石外,其他哺乳类化石的数量和种类也颇丰富。本文记述的是1976年以前从禄丰所采集的部分食肉类化石,其中包括Proputorius lufengensis和Epimachairodus fires两个新种。     

西藏地区雪层杜鹃遗传多样性的AFLP分析

采用AFLP技术对西藏地区雪层杜鹃（Rhododendron nivale）5个天然种群135份材料进行遗传多样性和遗传分化研究。筛选得出的6对引物共扩增产物273条DNA片段,扩增多态位点百分率为85.71%。5个雪层杜鹃种群的遗传多样性指标表现了相似的变化趋势,Nei基因多样性指数（h）和Shannon信息指数（I）的变化趋势一致,均为工布江达县种群 < 米林种群 < 嘎隆拉种群 < 色季拉山种群 < 红拉山种群。POPGENE分析结果表明雪层杜鹃在物种水平（PPL=85.71%,I=0.415 1,h=0.273）具有较高的遗传多样性,种群水平（PPL=62.26%,I=0.280 3,h=0.184 1）的遗传多样性较低。AMOVA分析结果表明36%的遗传变异存在于种群间,64%的遗传变异存在于种群内,雪层杜鹃种群间的遗传分化系数（G_st=0.324）与AMOVA分析得到的遗传变异分布结果一致。UPGMA聚类结果说明雪层杜鹃的遗传距离与地理距离和海拔高度没有明显的相关性。综合分析,引起雪层杜鹃的遗传变异的原因可能是地理环境不同和种群的生境类型差异。最后就雪层杜鹃的合理开发和保护提出建议。     

Short-term responses of winter soil respiration to snow removal in a Picea asperata forest of western Sichuan

Aims Seasonal snow cover is one of the most important factors that control winter soil respiration in the cold biomes. The warming-induced decreases in snowpack could affect winter soil respiration of subalpine forests. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of snow removal on winter soil respiration in a Picea asperata forest.Methods A snow removal experiment was conducted in a P. asperata forest stand in western Sichuan during the winter of 2015/2016. The snow removal treatment was implemented using wooden roof method. Soil temperatures, snow depth and soil respiration rate were simultaneously measured in plots of snow removal and controls during the experimental period.Important findings Compared to the control, snow removal increased the fluctuations of soil temperatures. The average daily temperature of the soil surface and that at 5 cm depth were 1.12 °C and 0.34 °C lower, respectively, and the numbers of freeze-thaw cycles of the soil surface and that at 5 cm depth were increased by 39 and 12, respectively, in plots of snow removal than in the controls. The average rate of winter soil respiration and CO₂ efflux were 0.52 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 and 88.44 g·m^-2, respectively. On average, snow removal reduced soil respiration rate by 21.02% and CO₂ efflux by 25.99%, respectively. More importantly, the snow effect mainly occurred in the early winter. The winter soil respiration rate had a significant exponential relationship with soil temperature. However, snow removal significantly reduced temperature sensitivity of the winter soil respiration. Our results suggest that seasonal snow reduction associated with climate change could inhibit winter soil respiration in the subalpine forests of western Sichuan, with significant implications for the carbon dynamics of the subalpine forests.
