Climate and vegetation in China II. Distribution of main vegetation types and thermal climate

The authors examined relationships between Kira's warmth index (WI) and four other important thermal indices: the sums of daily mean temperatures above 5°C and 10°C, Thornthwaite's potential evapotranspiration (PE) and Holdridge's annual biotemperature. The thermal records of 671 meteorological stations evenly located all over China were used to make these comparisons. Close correlations were found within the four relationships, and accordingly WI was used to analyse the thermal distributions of the main vegetation types. Vegetation types around the 671 stations were read from a vegetation map with a scale of 1/4000000. Vegetation types at 269 stations corresponded to the natural or seminatural vegetation, and 29 vegetation types were distinguished by arranging the 269 data into the same or similar types. The geographical distribution of these 29 types and the corresponding main climatic features were described. The relations between WI and distribution of these vegetation types were discussed in detail. As a result, WI values (°C month) corresponding to the vegetation zones could be summarized as follows: (1) arctic or alpine vegetation zone: 0–15; (2) boreal or subalpine vegetation zone: 15-(50–55); (3) cool-temperate vegetation zone: (50–55)–(80–90); (4) warm-temperate vegetation zone: (80–90)–(170–180). These values almost coincided with Kira's values. Chinese postgraduate student in Japan sent by the Chinese Government.     

植被对于气候的反馈作用

根据地球表面两个平衡方程：热量平衡方程和水量平衡方程初步探讨了植被对于气候的反馈作用。研究结果指出,植被对于全球气候变化有减缓作用,植被的存在将使一地的径流量减少,增加了保水能力,对于一地降水量无显著影响,而对于气候变化的作用是增温还是降温须视具体地点的情况而定。对于中纬度地区,当某一区域的径流量的变化与下垫面反射率的变化满足关系：Δｆ ＝ ５Δα×１０－ ４ｇ／（ｃｍ ２·ｍ ｉｎ）时,地表温度并不因为下垫面反射率或径流量的变化而变化。这一研究结果还表明在制定全球变化对陆地生态系统影响对策时必须因地制宜,以保证地球成为一个适于人类生存与持续发展的生命支持系统     

黄土高原地区提取植被信息方法的研究

研究评价了适于黄土高原地区植被信息提取的最佳植被指数和方法。该地区分布有落叶阔叶林、草原和荒漠,植被类型丰富多样。然而土壤背景对植被信息提取有较大影响。经对比分析,修正后的土壤调节植被指数（ＭＳＡＶＩ）, 不仅能增强植被信号,并能大大减小土壤背景的影响,同时又能宏观地反映该地区植被类型的分布状况。它是黄土高原地区目前提取植被信息较好的植被指数。标准化差值植被指数（ＮＤＶＩ）、土壤调节植被指数（ＳＡＶＩ）和垂直植被指数（ＰＶＩ）分别适用于高密度、中等密度和稀少植被地区植被信息的提取和监测。各种植被指数多时象累加产生的图像能较好地提取植被信息     

Effect of oxygen availability and salinity on EARLY LIFE HISTORY STAGES OF SALT MARSH PLANTS. I. Different germination strategies of Spartina alterniflora and Phragmites australis (Poaceae)

Gradients in oxygen availability and salinity are among the most important environmental parameters influencing zonation in salt marsh communities. The combined effects of oxygen and salinity on the germination of two salt marsh grasses, Spartina alterniflora and Phragmites australis, were studied in growth chamber experiments. Germination of both species was initiated by emergence of the shoot and completed by root emergence. Percentage S. alterniflora germination was reduced at high salinity (40 g NaCl/L) and in decreased oxygen (5 and 2.5%). In 0% oxygen shoots emerged, but roots did not. P. australis germination was reduced at a lower salinity (25 g NaCl/L) than S. alterniflora, and inhibited at 40 g NaCl/L and in anoxia. However, a combination of hypoxia (10 and 5% O2) and moderate salinity (5 and 10 g NaCl/L) increased P. australis germination. When bare areas in the salt marsh are colonized, the different germination responses of these two species to combinations of oxygen and salt concentrations are important in establishing their initial zonation. In high salinity wetlands S. alterniflora populates the lower marsh and P. australis occupies the high marsh at the upland boundary.     

Vegetation differences caused by pine vole mound building in subalpine plant communities in the Spanish Pyrenees

The influence of mediterranean pine vole (Microtus (Terricola) duodecimcostatus) mound-building activity in two Western Spanish Pyrenees plant communities (Mesobromion erecti and Festucion eskiae-Nardion strictae) were studied. The plants colonizing the gaps in these areas are different in the two cases considered. The plant composition of surrounding plant communities seems to be the main factor in revegetation. Mound-building activity changes the species' relative frequency and life-form spectrum, decreases the monocytyledonous/dicotyledonous ratio and increases diversity by diminishing the presence of dominant plant species.Abbreviations ME Mesobromion erecti - FN Festucion eskiae-Nardion strictae - (monocots) Monocotyledonous - (dicots) Dicotyledonous

苏芸金杆菌发酵生产工艺改进研究：Ⅰ芽孢接种和营养体接种比较

苏芸金杆菌液体深层发酵中用营养体接种二级发酵工艺和用二级发酵初期培养物作种子进行三级发酵工艺是可行的。试验结果表明：二级发酵种子罐营养体最佳移种茵龄为９ｈ左右,此时营养体数量多、整齐、染色均匀,显微镜下菌体有折光点存在,三级接种营养体菌龄约为４ｈ左右,菌体数量多,同步率高,少量染色不均匀。发酵液含菌数和发酵产品毒力均达到芽抱接种相同水平,但生产周期明显缩短４－５ｈ,因此相应提高发酵罐生产能力２０％。
