Analysis of young Miscanthus × giganteus yield variability: a survey of farmers’ fields in east central France

Miscanthus × giganteus is often regarded as one of the most promising crops to produce bioenergy because it is renowned for its high biomass yields, combined with low input requirements. However, its productivity has been mainly studied in experimental conditions. Our study aimed at characterizing and explaining young M. giganteus yield variability on a farmers’ field network located in the supply area of a cooperative society in east central France. It included the first three growth years of the crop. We defined and calculated a set of indicators of limiting factors that could be involved in yield variations and used the mixed‐model method to identify those explaining most of the yield variation. Commercial yields averaged 8.1 and 12.8 t DM ha^?1 for the second and third growth year, respectively. However, these mean results concealed a high variability, ranging from 3 to 19 t DM ha^?1. Commercial yields, measured on whole fields, were on average 20% lower than plot yields, measured on a small area (two plots of 25 m²). Yields were found to be much more related to shoot density than to shoot mass, and particularly to the shoot density established at the end of the planting year. We highlighted that planting success was decisive and was built during the whole plantation year. Fields with the lowest yields also had the highest weed cover, which was influenced by the distance between the field and the farmhouse, the preceding crop and the soil type. Our findings show that growing young M. giganteus on farmers’ fields involves limiting factors different from those commonly reported in the literature for experimental conditions and they could be useful to assess the economic and environmental impacts of growing M. giganteus on farmers’ fields. They could also stimulate the discussion about growing bioenergy crops on marginal lands.     

Biolog和PCR-DGGE技术解析施肥对德惠黑土细菌群落结构和功能的影响

试验采用Biolog和PCR-DGGE技术研究了不同施肥处理对吉林省德惠市黑土细菌群落结构和功能的影响.Biolog试验结果表明,单施有机肥处理的土壤细菌群落对底物碳源利用种类最多,代谢功能多样性最高;而施用化肥处理降低了土壤细菌群落代谢功能.DGGE图谱表明,不同施肥处理的土壤细菌16S rDNA多数条带分布相同,说明这些细菌类群在黑土中较稳定,在本试验中未受到施肥的影响,但也有一些特殊条带出现或缺失,施用化肥处理降低了土壤细菌群落结构组成多样性.对Biolog和DGGE试验结果的主成分分析显示,未施肥和单施有机肥处理的土壤细菌群落结构和功能相似,表明单施有机肥处理主要是增加了土壤微生物的总量,而对黑土细菌群落结构组成影响是次要的;单施化肥和半量有机肥 化肥处理的土壤细菌群落代谢功能多样性相似,但其结构组成产生了分离.研究表明化肥处理主要是影响到土壤中快速生长和富营养的细菌类群,施用化肥降低了这些细菌类群的代谢活性.     

Pneumoproteins and markers of inflammation and platelet activation in the blood of grain dust exposed workers

Abstract

Purpose: To investigate if blood biomarkers could indicate early signs of lung damage or cardiovascular risk due to exposure to grain dust.

Materials and methods: Pneumoproteins and markers of inflammation and platelet activation were analysed in blood samples of 102 grain elevator and compound feed mill workers. Differences between exposed (n?=?67) and controls (n?=?35), and associations with exposure measurements and respiratory health were investigated by multiple linear regression analyses.

Results: Concentrations of CC-16 and IL-6 were higher in exposed workers compared with controls (p?<?0.001 for both), whereas fibrinogen was lower (p?=?0.005). Concentrations of CRP, TNF-α, sCD40L and sP-selectin were similar in both groups. Serum CC-16 was significantly higher in workers with farm childhood, regardless of exposure. The impact of farm childhood on CC-16 interacted with smoking. None of the biomarkers were associated with exposure measurements or any of the tested respiratory health parameters.

Conclusion: Dust exposure induced inflammatory and anti-inflammatory reactions, but did not induce systemic inflammation and had no effect on platelet activation. No cause–effect relationship could be established in spite of relatively high exposure levels, particularly to endotoxin. Whether increased serum CC-16 is an early sign of lung damage or a reversible defense reaction remains unclear.

Integrated weed management systems with herbicide-tolerant crops in the European Union: lessons learnt from home and abroad

Conventionally bred (CHT) and genetically modified herbicide-tolerant (GMHT) crops have changed weed management practices and made an important contribution to the global production of some commodity crops. However, a concern is that farm management practices associated with the cultivation of herbicide-tolerant (HT) crops further deplete farmland biodiversity and accelerate the evolution of herbicide-resistant (HR) weeds. Diversification in crop systems and weed management practices can enhance farmland biodiversity, and reduce the risk of weeds evolving herbicide resistance. Therefore, HT crops are most effective and sustainable as a component of an integrated weed management (IWM) system. IWM advocates the use of multiple effective strategies or tactics to manage weed populations in a manner that is economically and environmentally sound. In practice, however, the potential benefits of IWM with HT crops are seldom realized because a wide range of technical and socio-economic factors hamper the transition to IWM. Here, we discuss the major factors that limit the integration of HT crops and their associated farm management practices in IWM systems. Based on the experience gained in countries where CHT or GMHT crops are widely grown and the increased familiarity with their management, we propose five actions to facilitate the integration of HT crops in IWM systems within the European Union.     

The effect of a large Danish offshore wind farm on harbor and gray seal haul-out behavior

This study investigates the effects of the construction and operation of a large Danish offshore wind farm on harbor and gray seal haul-out behavior within a nearby (4 km) seal sanctuary. Time-lapse photography, visual monitoring, and aerial surveys were used to monitor the number of seals on land in daylight hours. Seals were monitored during two preconstruction periods (19 June–31 August 2001 and April–August 2002), a construction period of the wind farm (August 2002–December 2003), and a period of operation of the wind farm (December 2003–December 2004). Monthly aerial surveys were conducted to estimate the proportion of seals in the sanctuary relative to neighboring haul-out sites. From preconstruction to construction and through the first year of operation the number of harbor seals in the sanctuary increased at the same rate as the number of seals at the neighboring haul-out sites. No long-term effects on haul-out behavior were found due to construction and operation of the wind farm. However, a significant short-term decrease was seen in the number of seals present on land during sheet pile driving in or near the wind farm. Acoustic deterrents were utilized simultaneously to avoid hearing damage.
