夏玉米三叶期持续干旱下不同叶位叶片含水量变化及其与光合作用的关系

植物干物质的累积依赖于群体光合速率,而群体光合速率又与单叶的光合能力密切有关。叶片光合作用与其含水量密切相关,目前关于不同叶位叶片含水量对持续干旱的响应及其与光合作用的关系还未见报道。以华北夏玉米郑单958为材料,设置6个不同灌水处理,模拟不同灌溉量下持续干旱对夏玉米不同叶位叶片生理特性的影响,分析夏玉米顶部开始的第一、三、五叶位叶片的水分变化及其与净光合速率的关系。结果表明:夏玉米不同叶位的叶片最大含水量不同,且随干旱进程的推进叶片含水量的变化速率也不同,第一叶的叶片含水量下降速率高于第三、第五叶,第一叶的最大含水量高于第三、五叶,且可进行光合产物积累的叶片含水量下限随叶位的增加而增大。同时,第一叶的叶片含水量与土壤水分呈显著相关,且与净光合速率的相关性也非常强。第一叶可进行光合产物积累的叶片水分下限(净光合速率为零时的叶片含水量)最小,表明其耐旱性最强,对干旱具有指导意义。研究结果可为提高冠层光合作用模拟的准确性及夏玉米干旱发生发展的监测预警提供参考。     

华北夏玉米干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫的响应

干物质分配系数反映作物各器官干物质的分配与积累,研究干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫的响应,是研究干旱胁迫对作物生长发育影响的基础.本文基于华北夏玉米主产省山东、河北和山西3个试验点2013—2015年田间水分控制试验资料,建立了夏玉米苗期、抽雄期、灌浆期3个主要发育阶段叶、茎、穗的干物质分配系数与土壤相对湿度的定量关系模型,分析了叶、茎、穗干物质分配系数对不同程度干旱胁迫的响应.结果表明: 3个阶段叶、茎、穗的干物质分配系数与土壤相对湿度均呈显著的一元二次关系.干旱胁迫下,叶片向外转运的干物质相对减少,叶干物质分配比例增加,并且在轻、中度干旱胁迫时的灌浆期(叶干物质分配系数增加0.04~0.09)以及重度干旱胁迫时的抽雄期(叶干物质分配系数增加0.17)响应最敏感.穗干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫表现为负响应,干旱胁迫越严重,分配系数越小,轻-重度干旱胁迫使穗干物质分配系数减小0.08~0.34.茎干物质分配系数对干旱胁迫的响应总体表现为灌浆期(正响应)＞抽雄期(负响应)＞苗期(负响应).     

大猿叶虫夏滞育的诱导：基于定量的光周期反应

为了探明大猿叶虫Colaphellus bowringi Baly夏滞育诱导的光周期时间测量特性, 我们通过室内实验系统比较了该虫在25℃、 不同长光照条件下,夏滞育的发生以及诱导50%个体进入夏滞育所需求的光 暗循环数。结果表明：不同长光照诱导的夏滞育比率有显著差异, 其中15 h或16 h光照诱导的滞育比率最高, 短于或长于这两个光照其滞育率均明显下降。在不同光 暗循环实验中, 14 h诱导的滞育比率均低于50%, 诱导50%个体进入夏滞育所需求的光 暗循环数在L15∶D9, L16∶D8, L17∶ D7和L18∶D6分别为2.61, 3.72, 4.64和5.92 d, 处理间存在显著差异。这些结果提示该虫夏滞育的诱导是基于定量的光周期反应。     

北京市夏秋季大气PM2.5浓度与气象要素的相关性

基于北京市城市生态系统研究站2008、2009年7月1日—10月31日大气PM_2.5浓度及气温、相对湿度、风速、水汽压、大气压和风向等6类气象要素资料,分析北京市夏秋季大气PM_2.5浓度与气象要素的相关性.结果表明: 在所分析的18周内,PM_2.5浓度在每周内的变化幅度较小.PM_2.5周平均浓度大致呈现出每6周为一个变化周期.其中,后6周最高、前6周次之、中间6周最低.PM_2.5周平均浓度与6种气象要素存在不同程度的相关关系,其中与水汽压的相关性最强,可通过水汽压预测北京市7月和8月的PM_2.5周平均浓度.研究结果可为分析和控制北京市大气PM_2.5污染源提供重要的科学依据.     

东、黄海水团动态与夏季休渔效果间的关系

用聚类分析法分析了2003年6月-2005年6月东、黄海水团的分布,并讨论了水团动态变化与夏季休渔效果间的关系。结果表明,6月表层水团主要包括东海表层水团、黄海水团、黄-东海混合水团和沿岸冲淡水,底层水团主要包括东海次表层水团、黄海冷水团和黄海水团。另外,各水团的分布面积存在年间差异。夏季休渔期间,中上层鱼类资源和底层鱼类资源的恢复速度均在2005年最快,在2003年最慢。9月东、黄海中上层鱼类的主要作业渔场在28°00′-32°30′N,125°30′E以西海域,该海域表层主要受东海表层水团所控制;底层鱼类的主要作业渔场在29°30′-33°00′N,127°00′E以西海域,该海域底层主要受东海次表层水团所控制。6月较强的东海表层水团有利于中上层鱼类资源的恢复;较强的东海次表层水团有利于底层鱼类资源的恢复,而较强的黄海冷水团不利于底层鱼类资源的恢复。     

Seedling dynamics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acer mono</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fagus crenata</Emphasis>: an environmental filter limiting their adult distributions

Spatial pattern of a biotic population may change over time as its component individuals grow or die out, but whether this is the case for desert annual plants is largely unknown. Here we examined seasonal changes in spatial patterns of two annuals, Eriogonum abertianum and Haplopappus gracilis, in initial (winter) and final (summer) densities. The density was measured as the number of individuals from 384 permanent quadrats (each 0.5 m × 0.5 m) in the Chihuahuan Desert near Portal, Arizona, USA. We used three probability distributions (binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial or NB) that represent three basic spatial patterns (regular, random, and clumped) to fit the observed frequency distributions of densities of the two annuals. Both species showed clear clumped patterns as characterized by the NB and had similar inverse J-shaped frequency distribution curves in two density categories. Also, both species displayed a reduced degree of aggregation from winter to summer after the spring drought (massive die-off), as indicated by the increased k-parameter of the NB and decreased values of another NB parameter p, variance/mean ratio, Lloyd’s Index of Patchiness, and David and Moore’s Index of Clumping. Further, we hypothesized that while the NB (i.e., Poisson-logarithmic) well fits the distribution of individuals per quadrat, its components, the Poisson and logarithmic, may describe the distributions of clumps per quadrat and of individuals per clump, respectively. We thus obtained the means and variances for (1) individuals per quadrat, (2) clumps per quadrat, and (3) individuals per clump. The results showed that the decrease of the density from winter to summer for each plant resulted from the decrease of individuals per clump, rather than from the decrease of clumps per quadrat. The great similarities between the two annuals indicate that our observed temporal changes in spatial patterns may be common among desert annual plants.     

Effect of prolonged summer on two ox-bow lakes

Physicochemical as well hydrobiological investigations were made in two large tropical ox-bow lakes at monthly intervals during the period of two annual cycles of which the second one experienced an unusual drought. The monthly mean concentrations of total alkalinity, hardness, chloride, phosphate and nitrate of water were greatly increased during the drought-affected second year compared with the first year. Prolonged summer in the region caused about 5 - 25-fold increases in chlorophyll a concentration of nanoplankton and net plankton, respectively. Phytoplankton peaks were less developed during the first year, whereas the summer peak was greatly enlarged during the drought affected second year. There was about a twofold rise in the numbers of zooplankton during the second year as compared with the first year. Benthic invertebrates, on the other hand, were reduced in numbers. Fish production was relatively less during the drought affected second year than during the first year.
