石羊河流域土地覆被空间演化及驱动机制

基于石羊河流域1998年、2002年、2006年、2010年NDVI、夜间灯光数据和TM影像提取的土壤信息,以城市地表人工覆被系统为基础,计算流域土地覆被指数(Land-Cover Index,LCI),利用小波分析、空间变差函数和间隙度指数等方法构建测度模型,分析了石羊河流域地区十多年来的土地人工覆被空间演化过程和格局,然后利用回归拟合方程找出影响地区土地覆被变化的驱动机制。结果表明:LCI大范围分布受地形限制,高值区(城镇用地区域)值越来越高,而低值区(植被覆盖区域)值在2002年形成了峰值后下降,即地区城镇化水平显著提高的同时,林草覆盖率缓慢变好,并且逐渐形成区域簇群,同时地区城镇化水平受人为因素的影响较大,植被覆盖度受自然因素的影响较大。     

下辽河平原降雨中氮素的动态变化

为了了解降雨中氮对农田生态系统的影响,分析了2004-2006年下辽河平原连续3年定位收集的降雨观测资料与历史资料.结果表明:降雨中氮输入量季节变化显著,夏季最高,这主要与降雨量及空气中NH4 -N浓度变化有关;降雨中DON量与NO3--N含量相当,均接近24%,是雨水中氮的重要组分;与1985年相比,近3年降雨输入到该地区农田生态系统的年氮通量已有较大提高,降雨较多的2005年输入的无机氮量更是20年前的2倍以上;2004-2006年随降雨输入农田生态系统的氮平均占可利用肥料氮的28.3%,对农田生态系统有着重要影响.     

The significance of side-arm connectivity for carbon dynamics of the River Danube, Austria

1. Side‐arms connected to the main stem of the river are key areas for biogeochemical cycling in fluvial landscapes, exhibiting high rates of carbon processing. 2. This work focused on quantifying autochthonous and allochthonous carbon pools and, thereby, on comparing transport and transformation processes in a restored side‐arm system of the River Danube (Regelsbrunn). We established a carbon budget and quantified carbon processing from March to September 2003. In addition, data from previous studies during 1997 to 1999 were assessed. 3. Gross primary production (GPP) and community respiration were estimated by diel oxygen time curves and an oxygen mass balance. Plankton primary production was determined to estimate its contribution to GPP under different hydrological conditions. 4. Based on the degree of connectivity, three hydrological phases were differentiated. Most of the organic matter, dominated by allochthonous carbon, was transported in the main channel and through the side‐arm during floods, while at intermediate and low flows (and thus connectivity), transformation processes became more important and autochthonous carbon dominated the carbon pool. The side‐arm system functioned as a sink for particulate matter [total suspended solids and particulate organic carbon (POC)] and a source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and chlorophyll‐a. 5. Autochthonous primary production of 4.2 t C day^?1 in the side‐arm was equivalent to about 20% of the allochthonous inputs of 20 t C day^?1 (POC and DOC) entering the area at mean flow (1% of the discharge of the main channel). Pelagic photosynthesis was generally high at mean flow (1.3–3.8 g C m^?2 day^?1), and contributed up to 90% of system productivity. During long stagnant periods at low discharge, the side‐arm was controlled by biological processes and a shift from planktonic to benthic activity occurred (benthic primary production of 0.4–14 g C m^?2 day^?1). 6. The transformation of the organic matter that passes through the side‐arm under different hydrological conditions, points to the importance of these subsystems in contributing autochthonous carbon to the food web of the main channel.     

湘江鳡仔稚鱼个体和耳石生长发育研究

2008 年6 月至7 月间于鳡(Elopichthys bambusa Richardson)的主要繁殖季节在湘江采集鳡仔稚鱼共370尾, 耳石分析表明这些仔稚鱼日龄在4-25d 间, 推算孵化日期为5 月27 日至6 月22 日。仔鱼前弯曲期向弯曲期转化时间为第6 日龄, 弯曲期向后弯曲期转化为第10 日龄, 后弯曲期向稚鱼期转化为15.5 日龄。体长生长和耳石生长均在进入后弯曲期后(12-13 日龄)出现1 个节点: 节点后体长生长速度是节点前的5 倍,节点后耳石生长速度是节点前的2 倍。早期生活史不同阶段鳡微耳石形态显著改变: 前弯曲期耳石为圆形;弯曲期耳石前后轴的生长速度明显超过背腹轴生长, 耳石也变为椭圆形; 后弯曲期耳石进一步延长, 耳石后端形成略尖的突起, 耳石呈梨形; 进入稚鱼期后, 耳石后突起变得较为平滑, 耳石形状呈贝形。耳石半径和体长的关系在后弯曲期阶段出现节点, 节点前后呈不同的直线关系。       

Water loss and viability in Zizania (Poaceae) seeds during short-term desiccation

How Texas wild rice, Zizania texana, became isolated in the San Marcos River of Central Texas, hundreds of kilometres from other wild rice populations is not known. Zizania seeds are intolerant of short-term desiccation. Seeds desiccated at 14% relative humidity (RH) and 75% RH do not survive after only 5-6 d and 2-3 wk of drying. Water loss is rapid and reaches a maximum at the time of seed death due to drying. And although all Zizania seeds germinate well following a long, cold dormancy period, Z. texana seeds readily germinate in the isothermic water (22°C) of the San Marcos River and Springs without an obligate, cold dormant period. Within 30-60 d of collection, Z. texana seeds germinate in substantial numbers, unlike seeds of Z. palustris, which require a long, cold dormant period. The Texas population of Z. texana may represent a relict population of a once more widely dispersed wild rice population, since the San Marcos springs probably have never gone dry.

共生有生殖器官的Anomozamites的新发现

海房沟异羽叶的新联合(Anomozamites haifanggouensis (Kimura et al.) comb. nov.)是辽西和内蒙古东部中侏罗统海房沟组一种特有的本内苏铁类植物.仅发现一块标本(正、反面印痕).标本上保存3枚营养羽叶,它们同几个苞片状的小叶和一些小孢子叶联合在一起,但球果的雌蕊群部分未被保存.标本被收集于内蒙古东部的宁城县山头乡道虎村附近,产于中侏罗统海房沟组.以往在辽西葫芦岛市的南票和白马石乡上三角城等地的同一层位中也曾发现过很多分散保存的苞片状小叶和相似的小孢子叶.它们最初被潘广(1983)认为是一种双子叶的半被子植物(Cycadicotis),并将小孢子叶视为"具皱纹的雌性种囊".后来,又经Kimura等(1994)详细研究,因未找到任何与被子植物有关的证据,将它们归入一个分类位置不明的形态属Pankuangia,并被描述在P. haifanggouensis种名之下.研究结果表明,本文中被研究的标本是同本内苏铁类的Anomozamites异羽叶相连,从而为这些分散保存的生殖器官的确切分类位置的确定提供了有力的证据.
