关中平原城市群扩张对生态用地的多尺度影响

城市扩张与生态空间保护的矛盾是新型城镇化和国土空间规划过程中急需解决的问题之一。作为黄河流域生态保护与高质量发展的核心区域,关中平原城市群面临更加严峻的生态和资源胁迫。但相关研究主要对研究区整体的生态环境变化进行测度,少有研究分析城市群发展对生态用地的多尺度影响,且忽略了城市群中土地变化最剧烈,生态受胁迫最严重的城市边缘区。因此,基于土地利用数据,结合土地利用转移矩阵、景观指数、估算城市扩张间接影响的生态用地面积等方法,研究从城市群、重点城市和主要城市边缘区3个尺度分析1990-2018年城镇扩张对生态用地的直接和间接影响。结果表明：（1）关中平原城市群土地利用类型以半生态用地（耕地）为主,面积占比超过40%。而城市边缘区主要以半生态用地和建设用地为主。1990-2018年城市群建设用地面积比例由3.67%增长至5.93%,耕地面积共计减少3032.11 km²,自然生态用地的面积增加628.03 km²。受耕地占补、退耕还林等多重政策的影响,半生态用地和自然生态用地的变化呈现为"拉锯式"发展特征。（2）城市扩张对半生态用地的直接影响大于对自然生态用地的直接影响,各尺度土地利用转移变化大同小异,新增建设用地的主要来源均为耕地,其中城市边缘区的耕地受城镇扩张的挤占最为突出。（3）城市扩张对自然生态用地的间接影响大于直接影响,且不同城市建设用地对自然生态用地的间接影响因耕地补偿机制的不同而有所差异。因此,对关中平原城市群实施"一刀切"的耕地补偿政策实际上并不合理,应当因地制宜,考虑地区土地资源条件,适当调整发展和约束政策,更有利于城市群的可持续发展。     

华北平原农田CO2浓度变化特征

旨在了解农田CO2浓度长期动态变化特征、趋势、浓度增量分布模式等,收集了2007—2018年中国气象局固城生态与农业气象试验站开路式涡相关CO2浓度观测数据。研究了华北平原农田CO2浓度的年际、年内、昼夜和CO2通量等动态变化特征,对比分析了华北平原农田CO2浓度与城市站和大气本底站CO2浓度变化趋势及差异。结果表明,近十多年来华北平原农田CO2年平均浓度显著升高31.0 μmol/mol（r=0.263, P<0.01）,年均增幅(2.58 μmol/mol)与全球和瓦里关本底站大气CO2浓度增幅接近,但农田CO2浓度年际和年内季节变化波动巨大,日平均浓度和逐时平均浓度标准差分别为33.7和33.5 μmol/mol。夜间CO2平均浓度395.8 μmol/mol,比白天高36.2 μmol/mol（10.1%）,8月最高差值达到74.4 μmol/mol（20.6%）。在作物生长季节,5月和8—9月白天CO2浓度出现的两个谷值准确地对应了CO2通量动态变化的两个峰值,表明4—9月昼间CO2浓度和通量动态变化很好地反映了华北平原冬小麦和夏玉米生长过程、农事活动和农田碳交换的关系。农田CO2浓度动态变化与城市、湿地和大气本底站的变化特征不同,表明其动态变化的形成机制有差异。农田CO2浓度昼夜及季节变化特征为研究和评估CO2浓度升高影响作物生长和产量提供指导依据。     

辽河三角洲湿地生长季蒸散量时空格局及影响因素

蒸散是湿地系统水分损失的重要途径之一,有效量化湿地蒸散量并对其时空格局进行研究具有重要意义。本文以Landsat数据和气象观测数据为基础,利用SEBAL模型估算辽河三角洲湿地1985—2017年共8期植被生长季的蒸散量,并分析其时空格局和影响因素。结果表明:(1)反演得到的蒸散量平均相对误差为9.01%,估测值与实测值相关系数为0.61,基本满足湿地蒸散研究需求;(2)研究区多年日蒸散量均值和相对变化率整体呈双峰态势,极小值出现在2005年,极大值出现在1989年和2014年;(3)日蒸散量具有水陆交界处最低、西部较低、中东部和南部高的趋势,具有显著的空间分异特征;(4)不同土地利用/覆被类型的蒸散量大小依次为:水体区湿地植被区非湿地植被区非植被区(除水体外),多年不同土地利用/覆被类型的蒸散量变化也呈双峰态势,日总蒸散量变化与土地利用转型有关,土地利用/覆被是导致湿地蒸散时空分异的重要因素;(5)平均蒸散量与太阳辐射、气温、风速、相对湿度四个气象因子加权值显著相关,相关系数为0.69,两者年际波动趋势基本一致,蒸散量变化与气象条件变动联系密切。     

Biogeochemical cycle of Sulfer in the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland ecosystem in the Sanjiang Plain, China

To better understand the Sulfur (S) cycle in the wetland ecosystem, the S cycle and its compartmental distribution within an atmosphere-plant-soil system were studied using a compartment model in the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. The results showed that the soil was the main S storage and flux hinge in which 97.78% S was accumulated. In the plant subsystem, the root was the main S storage, and it remained at 79.60% of the total S contents, which in the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland ecosystem showed that the parts above the ground took up 0.75 g S/m², the S re-transferring biomass to the root was 0.24 g S/m², and to the litter was 0.51 g S/m²; the root took up 3.76 g S/m² and the S transferring biomass to the soil took up 3.07 g S/m²; the litter S biomass was 0.75 g S/(m²·a) and the S transferring biomass to the soil was more than 0.52 g S/(m²·a). The emission amount of H2S from the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland ecosystem to the atmosphere was 1.42 mg S/m², whereas carbonyl sulfide (COS) was absorbed by the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland from the atmosphere and the absorption amount was 1.83 mg S/m². The S input biomass from the rain to the ecosystem was 4.85mg S/m² during the growing season. The difference between input and output amounts was 5.26 mg S/m², which indicated that S was accumulated in the ecosystem and would lead to wetland acidification in the future.     

The impact of early Quaternary climate change on the diversification and population dynamics of a South American cactus species

Aim

Climatic oscillations have been suggested to promote speciation and changes in species distributions, mostly in connection with the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, the LGM is just the most recent of the 20+ glacial‐interglacial periods that characterise the Quaternary. Here, we investigate the role of climatic changes and geomorphological features in shaping the evolution, distribution and population dynamics of the South American cactus Cereus hildmannianus.

Location

South‐eastern South America.

Methods

We built a large fossil‐calibrated phylogeny for cacti (family Cactaceae), comprising 128 species distributed in all subfamilies, using a Bayesian relaxed clock. We used the results to derive a secondary calibration for a population‐level phylogeny in C. hildmannianus. We amplified two plastid (trnQ‐5′rps16 and psbJ‐petA) and one nuclear marker (PhyC) for 24 populations. We estimated population dynamics, ancestral areas, and species distribution models to infer the clade's evolutionary history in time and space.

Results

Our results show a major population divergence of C. hildmannianus at c. 2.60 Ma, which is strikingly coincident with the transition of the Pliocene–Pleistocene and onset of Quaternary glaciations. This was followed by a complex phylogeographic scenario involving population expansions across ecologically diverse regions.

Main conclusions

Contrary to the dominant research focus on the LGM, our study indicates a major impact of the first Quaternary glaciation on the distribution and population divergence of a South American plant species. Further intraspecific events seem related to successive climatic changes and geomorphology, including the development of the coastal plain and its peculiar diversity. We propose that the first Quaternary glaciation acted as a major evolutionary bottleneck, whereby many warm‐adapted lineages succumbed, while those that survived could diversify and better cope with subsequent climatic oscillations.     

包膜尿素在华北平原夏玉米上的应用

通过连续2a的大田试验,比较研究了尿素与包膜尿素对夏播玉米郑单958和农大108产量、水分利用效率（WUE）、氮肥利用率（NUE）与土壤无机氮动态的影响,结果表明：产量与WUE随施氮量增大而增大,两种氮肥间差异不显著;包膜尿素NUE较尿素高,2004年郑单958N90kg／hm^2与农大108N180ks／hm^2条件下提高显著;施氮对土壤无机氮动态的影响具有年际间差异：2004年不施氮条件下一般呈“V”型变化趋势,施氮使其向“N”型或倒“V”型转变,而2005年施氮与不施氮条件下均呈“N”型变化趋势;施氮使土壤无机氮含量明显提高,包膜尿素较尿素效果更明显;土壤无机氮含量,包膜尿素处理以表土层最高,而尿素处理,特别是尿素N180kg／hm^2处理9叶展至吐丝期以下层土壤较高,2004年表现尤为明显。可见在降水量较多的年份,包膜尿素缓释效应明显,能有效控制无机氮的下移。华北平原夏玉米季以包膜尿素替代尿素、以一次性基施替代基肥＋追肥是完全可行的,能达到省工、增效、环保目的。     

Physiological and ecological effects of increasing temperature on fish production in lakes of Arctic Alaska

Lake ecosystems in the Arctic are changing rapidly due to climate warming. Lakes are sensitive integrators of climate‐induced changes and prominent features across the Arctic landscape, especially in lowland permafrost regions such as the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Despite many studies on the implications of climate warming, how fish populations will respond to lake changes is uncertain for Arctic ecosystems. Least Cisco (Coregonus sardinella) is a bellwether for Arctic lakes as an important consumer and prey resource. To explore the consequences of climate warming, we used a bioenergetics model to simulate changes in Least Cisco production under future climate scenarios for lakes on the Arctic Coastal Plain. First, we used current temperatures to fit Least Cisco consumption to observed annual growth. We then estimated growth, holding food availability, and then feeding rate constant, for future projections of temperature. Projected warmer water temperatures resulted in reduced Least Cisco production, especially for larger size classes, when food availability was held constant. While holding feeding rate constant, production of Least Cisco increased under all future scenarios with progressively more growth in warmer temperatures. Higher variability occurred with longer projections of time mirroring the expanding uncertainty in climate predictions further into the future. In addition to direct temperature effects on Least Cisco growth, we also considered changes in lake ice phenology and prey resources for Least Cisco. A shorter period of ice cover resulted in increased production, similar to warming temperatures. Altering prey quality had a larger effect on fish production in summer than winter and increased relative growth of younger rather than older age classes of Least Cisco. Overall, we predicted increased production of Least Cisco due to climate warming in lakes of Arctic Alaska. Understanding the implications of increased production of Least Cisco to the entire food web will be necessary to predict ecosystem responses in lakes of the Arctic.     

Gone to Texas: phylogeography of two Trachymyrmex (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) species along the southeastern coastal plain of North America

Ants are widely recognized as ecologically important members of many low‐ to mid‐latitude ecosystems. Surprisingly, there is very little phylogeographical information on ants at regional scales. We examine here the phylogeography of two partially sympatric species of Trachymyrmex (Trachymyrmex septentrionalis and Trachymyrmex turrifex) ants in southeastern North America. We test the hypothesis that all Trachymyrmex species found in the USA expanded into North America from refugial populations located in northern Mexico as the post‐Pleistocene climate warmed. Phylogeographical theory predicts that these northward‐expanding species should exhibit higher genetic diversity in regions closer to Mexico and less diversity in more northern regions. We also examine, in the widely distributed T. septentrionalis, the hypothesis of vicariance that occurred at the formation of the Mississippi Embayment. Phylogeographical patterns indicate that T. septentrionalis has an eastern origin because diversity was highest east of the Mississippi, whereas T. turrifex probably has a Mexican origin because it lacked mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation throughout its range and is currently absent from eastern North America. Both species are characterized by reduced haplotypic variation in the western coastal plain of the Gulf of Mexico (Texas and Louisiana), which may indicate recent expansion and/or bottlenecks associated with increased aridity and drought in these western regions. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2015, 114 , 689–698.
