长白山红松针阔叶混交林林冠层叶面积指数模拟分析

根据长白山原始红松针阔叶混交林光合有效辐射的连续3年自动观测结果,结合便携式叶面积仪的季节观测,建立了以林冠上下光合有效辐射估算森林冠层叶面积指数的半经验公式.结果表明,该方法可以很好地反映叶面积的季节动态. 通过3年叶面积指数的季节动态比较发现,该森林冠层叶面积的起始生长日期随气温稳定通过0 ℃的日期延迟而延迟,整个生长季的叶面积动态可划分成上升期、相对稳定期和下降期,每个阶段都与大于0 ℃的积温存在较好的相关关系,分别用Logistic曲线和线性方程表达. 并对叶面积的观测和估算方法中存在的问题进行了讨论.     

长白山阔叶红松林降雨截留量的估算

林冠截留降雨过程是森林流域水分循环的重要组成部分,以往的研究多为1次或多次降雨量与截留量的关系,很少考虑雨强和树木特征.文中利用林冠截留降雨半经验半理论模型,以雨强和叶面积指数为模型输入,林冠湿润程度为参数,结合Penman-Monteith公式,有效地模拟了长白山阔叶红松林次降雨的截留过程和2004年5～9月的林冠截留总量.结果表明,研究期间的林冠截留总量为39.96 mm,占降雨总量的10.2%,与实测资料吻合.根据模拟结果,探讨了不同时间尺度上截留量与降雨量之间的关系,随着时间尺度的增大,截留量与降雨量的相关关系趋于明显.     

煤矿井田区地表沉陷对植被景观的影响——以山西省晋城市东大煤矿为例

借助地表沉陷预测模型,预测了地表沉陷状况,依据地表沉陷对景观的破坏程度划分出重度影响区和轻度影响区;在遥感及地理信息系统技术的支持下,把植被景观现状与地表沉陷影响区叠加,通过沉陷前后景观格局的变化分析,对山西省晋城市东大煤矿的生态影响进行了探索性评价研究。结果表明:1) 重度影响区地表会出现盆型、马鞍型和波浪型等塌陷或裂缝,土壤侵蚀的作用将导致土壤养分空间格局发生明显变化。塌陷或裂缝周围生境恶化,成为养分流失源,植被恢复困难;养分汇处土壤水、肥条件优越,植被演替迅速,适当的人为干扰可以加快区域生态环境的恢复步伐。2) 地表沉陷后,植被景观破碎及隔离程度严重,原有的稳定态景观格局被打破,随着地形、土壤的空间变化,植被开始新一轮发展演替。由于原先占绝对优势的退化植被类型白羊草(Bothriochloa ischemum)-百里香(Thymus mongolicus)型优势度下降,同时,大部分次优势景观的内部生态功能受影响不大,这对景观整体的生物多样性以及次优势景观类型的演替是有益的,但是,重度影响区对斑块的隔离呈直线性,这对物种迁移的障碍是明显的。因此,重视井田区的封育与引种工作,科学规划、合理布局,在此基础上,引导植被演替沿着白羊草-百里香型—白羊草-黄背草(Themeda japonica)型—灌木丛—阔叶林的方向发展是可行的。     

芜湖市三种生境夏季鸟类多样性分析

1引言鸟类群落结构在一定程度上是鸟类之间相互关系的综合反映.一些鸟类对城市生态环境的变化反应非常敏感,因而对城市生态平衡和环境质量的变化能起到指示剂的作用[8].目前我国正处在城市化加速发展的时期,许多中等城市正在向大城市发展,城市生态建设面临巨大的压力和挑战.鸟类多样性是城市生物多样性的重要组成部分,对维持城市生态平衡具有重要的意义[13],而城市鸟类多样性研究能为城市的生态建设提供重要的参考依据.国内对城市鸟类群落的研究主要集中在北京、武汉、杭州等少数大城市,而对中小城市的研究不多[5,16～19].王宗英等[11]曾对…

Nitrogen fertilizer replacement indexes of legume cover crops in the derived savanna of West Africa

Legume cover crops are a potential means for overcoming N depletion in the derived savanna of West Africa. A 3-year trial was, therefore, conducted near Ibadan, southwestern Nigeria to measure the N contribution of 13 legume cover crops as compared to urea –N, using a N fertilizer replacement index for a maize test crop. Two series of trials involved the following legume cover crop species: Aeschynomene histrix, Centrosema brasilianum, Centrosema pascuorum, Chamaecrista rotundifolia, Cajanus cajan, Crotalaria verrucosa, Crotalaria ochroleuca, Lablab purpureus, Mucuna pruriens, Psophocarpus palustris, Pseudovigna argentea, Pueraria phaseoloides and Stylosanthes hamata. Trials were undertaken using a complete block design. Cover crops were planted in 1994 (Series 1) and 1995 (Series 2) in separate sites and each series was subsequently slashed and planted for one season with maize (Zea mays) in 1995 and 1996. At the 50% flowering stage, N concentration of above-ground vegetation of cover crops ranged from 21 to 38 g N kg^–1. Nitrogen accumulated by 4.5-month old cover crops ranged from 14 to 240 kg N ha^–1, depending on species and year. Cover crops increased grain yield of the subsequent maize crop by 25–136% over the control without N application. Nitrogen uptake by the maize crop was higher following cover crops than after maize or natural grass. The N fertilizer replacement index of cover crops for maize ranged from 11 (A. histrix) to 96 kg N ha^–1 (C. cajan) in Series 2. Perennial (C. brasilianum, S. hamata, C. cajan, P. phaseoloides and C. verrucosa) and annual (C. rotundifolia, M. pruriens, C. ochroleuca and L. purpureus) species could potentially save 50 to 100 kg N ha^–1 for maize crops. The cover crops accumulated more N in the wetter than in the drier year. However, the N fertilizer replacement index was higher for subsequent maize grown in the drier year. The cover crop-N recovery in maize was also higher than the urea-N uptake in the drier year. The N fertilizer replacement indexes can be predicted using the above-ground biomass amount of cover crops at 20 weeks after planting (drier year) or the N concentration at that stage (wetter year).     

Genotype Variability in Photosynthetic Characteristics in Finger Millet

High variability in leaf gas exchange and related traits were found in 30 genotypes of field grown finger millet. The variability in carbon exchange rate per unit leaf area (P _N) can be partly attributed to the differences in the stomatal conductance (g_s) and area leaf mass (ALM). The P _N was positively correlated with total dry matter (TDM). However, no relationship between P _N and seed yield was found. The leaf area showed a positive and significant correlation with total biomass. None of the other gas-exchange traits had significant relationship either with TDM or with seed yield. The ALM showed a strong positive association with P _N. However, it was not correlated with either total biomass or seed yield. As a result, the use of ALM as surrogate for P _N for identifying high biomass producing genotypes only had a limited value. Hence selection for high P _N would result in higher biomass producing types.     

Condition, Growth, and Reproductive Styles of Fishes Exposed to Different Environmental Regimes in a Prairie Drainage

To investigate effects of environmental variability on fish populations, we compared three species from two different stream segments that differed in their magnitudes of environmental fluctuations. Fish from the upper and lower basin of an Oklahoma prairie stream were sampled bi-weekly from 19 April to 12 October 1997. Along with condition factors of Campostoma anomalum (adults and juveniles), Etheostoma spectabile, and Notropis boops, growth rates of juvenile C. anomalum, and gonadal somatic indices (GSI) from adult C. anomalum were calculated. Individuals occupying the upper basin experienced the greatest environmental fluctuations, but also had condition factors that were similar or higher than conspecifics in the more stable lower basin for each species. Changes in length-frequency distributions suggested the existence of 2–3 cohorts and relatively rapid growth in the upper basin and a single slower-growing cohort in the lower basin. Additionally, reproductive styles, measured in terms of GSI and appearance of juveniles, varied among the two sites, suggesting that reproductive plasticity over small scales may result from the different environmental regimes of each stream segment. Overall results demonstrate that although large fluctuations in the environment may produce conditions that appear to be detrimental to an individual, in actuality, they may not be. In fact, areas with the largest environmental fluctuations produced robust individuals, and thus may offer some unseen benefit that counterbalances or outweighs the costs associated with a variable environment. Additionally, there is evidence that at least some resident taxa have sufficient life history plasticity to exploit these opportunities wherever or whenever they may arise.
