三峡库区消落带水淹初期地上植被与土壤种子库的关系

采用种子萌发法,研究了三峡库区消落带水淹初期所形成的已淹区段、未淹区段以及留存原有植被的对照样带地表植被与土壤种子库之间的关系。结果表明:三峡库区消落带已淹区段地表植被分属47科71属100种,未淹区段84科163属223种,优势科主要为菊科、豆科、禾本科、蔷薇科、莎草科。地上植被的物种生活型,已淹区段以生长周期短、适应性较强的1年生草本为主,灌木和乔木共占19%;未淹区段中1年生草本占20.45%,多年生草本占36.36%,灌木或藤本占28.18%,乔木占15%;对照样带中1年生草本占23.24%,多年生草本占41.32%,灌木及藤本占32.02%,乔木占17.05%。与对照样带相比,已淹区段地表植被物种多样性指数和丰富度指数都明显降低,未淹区段地表植被却表现出明显增加的趋势,只有Pielou均匀度指数都降低;已淹区段、未淹区段土壤种子库分别具有物种79种和108种,分别比对照样带增加了9种和38种;已淹区段种子库密度为(12667±2225.25)粒/m2、未淹区段为(38013±9796.04)粒/m2、对照样带为(18715±8234.77)粒/m2,与对照样带土壤种子库总密度相比,已淹区段降低了32.32%,未淹区段增加了103.12%,都以草本植物占绝大多数比例,且1年生草本所占比例大于多年生草本所占比例。土壤种子库的生物多样性指数、丰富度指数和均匀度指数与地表植被变化相一致,但变化幅度较小。消落带已淹区段、未淹区段、对照样带地表植被和土壤种子库共同出现的物种数分别为9,40和15种,土壤种子库和地表植被间Sorensen相似性系数分别为0.328,0.241,0.186,表明三峡库区消落带水淹初期区域整体相似系数较低,这与消落带形成时间短有很大的关系。     

High temperatures limit plant growth but hasten flowering in root chicory (Cichorium intybus) independently of vernalisation

An increase in mean and extreme summer temperatures is expected as a consequence of climate changes and this might have an impact on plant development in numerous species. Root chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) is a major crop in northern Europe, and it is cultivated as a source of inulin. This polysaccharide is stored in the tap root during the first growing season when the plant grows as a leafy rosette, whereas bolting and flowering occur in the second year after winter vernalisation. The impact of heat stress on plant phenology, water status, photosynthesis-related parameters, and inulin content was studied in the field and under controlled phytotron conditions. In the field, plants of the Crescendo cultivar were cultivated under a closed plastic-panelled greenhouse to investigate heat-stress conditions, while the control plants were shielded with a similar, but open, structure. In the phytotrons, the Crescendo and Fredonia cultivars were exposed to high temperatures (35 °C day/28 °C night) and compared to control conditions (17 °C) over 10 weeks. In the field, heat reduced the root weight, the inulin content of the root and its degree of polymerisation in non-bolting plants. Flowering was observed in 12% of the heat stressed plants during the first growing season in the field. In the phytotron, the heat stress increased the total number of leaves per plant, but reduced the mean leaf area. Photosynthesis efficiency was increased in these plants, whereas osmotic potential was decreased. High temperature was also found to induced flowering of up to 50% of these plants, especially for the Fredonia cultivar. In conclusion, high temperatures induced a reduction in the growth of root chicory, although photosynthesis is not affected. Flowering was also induced, which indicates that high temperatures can partly substitute for the vernalisation requirement for the flowering of root chicory.

The Effects of Hydrology on Plankton Biomass in Shallow Lakes of the Pampa Plain

Climatic and hydrological variability is usually high in the Pampa Plain (Argentina). However it has not studied yet how this variability may affect the phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass and community structure in aquatic systems of this region. The main purpose of this study was to assess flushing effects on nutrient and plankton dynamics in two interconnected very shallow lakes of the Pampa Plain. In order to study the impact of hydrology on the plankton biomass and community structure, we compared the summer plankton community among three consecutive years with contrasting hydrological characteristics. Water residence time varied an order of magnitude among years and this variability was correlated to strong changes in physicochemical and biological lake characteristics. Depending on the water discharge level, the hydrological regime within the lakes ranged from lentic to more lotic conditions. Nutrient and phytoplankton biomass were positively related to water discharges. During high flushing periods, nutrients import from intensive agriculture lands leads to a dramatic increase in trophic conditions. On the other hand, macrozooplankton biomass was positively related to water residence time and showed a dramatic decrease during high flushing years. Rotifers biomass was not affected by interannual water discharge variability during the study period. Our results support that in case of lakes with high flushing rates, zooplankton development is dependent on water residence time and that hydrology may have stronger effects on macrozooplankton biomass than top-down control by planktivores.     

High-frequency1H NMR studies of the effects of growth factors and phorbol esters on normal syrian hamster diploid fibroblast cells

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) parameters, spin-lattice (T₁), and spin-spin (T₂) relaxation time, are usually longer for neoplastic cells than for normal cells of the same cell type. This has generally been true at low NMR frequencies (≤100 MHz) when comparisons have been made between normal and neoplastic cells that have both spent a short time in culture. We have previously demonstrated that although the T₁ values of paired normal and neoplastic Syrian hamster (SH) fibroblastic cells in culture are not significantly different when measured at 300 MHz, the 300 MHz T₂ values for the neoplastic cells are smaller than those of the normal cells. (Xin et al. (1986),Cell Biophysics 8, 213.) Since treatment of normal diploid cells with polypeptide growth factors or tumor promoters frequently results in reversible expression of neoplasia-associated phenotypes, T₁ and T₂ were obtained at 300 MHz for treated and untreated SH cells to see if these compounds could also produce smaller 300 MHz T₂ values. Secondary culture SH fetal fibroblast cells were treated with epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (PDD) and 4-α-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate (4αPDD). Treatment with either growth factor resulted in smaller T₂ values, but a statistically significant decrease was not observed for PDD or 4αPDD. The observed reductions in T₂ values were correlated with the morphological and growth-stimulatory effects of these compounds on the cells.     

喀斯特石漠结皮细尖鳞叶藓的吸水机制及耐旱适应性

生物结皮是由隐花植物和相关土壤微小生物与表层土壤颗粒胶结而形成的复合体,与维管束植物覆盖一样,它是干旱区地表的重要覆盖类型。苔藓是荒漠植被演替过程中常见的一类先锋植物,同时也是生物结皮中生物量最大的2个类群之一。研究了结皮细尖鳞叶藓的吸水机制和耐旱适应性。结果表明:细尖鳞叶藓最大吸水量和持水率分别达到干重的9.74倍和700%以上,动力学总吸水过程的表观Km值和Vmax值分别为21.67g、10.42g·g-·1DW·min-1,外吸水过程为28.91g和8.56g·g-·1DW·min-1,内吸水过程为43.18g和1.76g·g-·1DW·min-1。可溶性糖含量从142.6mg·g-·1DW(CK)上升到344.3mg·g-·1DW,增长近2.4倍,而游离脯氨酸积累微弱。抗氧化酶SOD活性变化不明显,在0.04U·g-·1FW上下浮动;POD活性在PEG6000胁迫浓度在20%之前呈大幅度上升状态,以后趋于缓和,30%时达最高的131U·g-·1min-·1FW,增加近2倍;CAT活性的变化情况与POD变化趋势相同,但变化量较小。膜脂过氧化指标MDA先略有升高又逐步回落,说明细尖鳞叶藓抗氧化酶系统利用提高POD和CAT活性清除SOD在清除超氧阴离子自由基过程中产生的H2O2。因此,在喀斯特石漠化缺少土壤、极度干旱且保水能力弱的环境区域,结皮藓类植物以其特有的吸水特征、持水功能和抗旱机制等生态功能在石漠化治理、退化生态系统的恢复中具有十分重要的作用。

Dynamics of water usage in Haloxylon ammodendron in the southern edge of the Gurbantünggüt Desert

植物的水分来源是荒漠地区植物水分关系研究的重要方面, 有助于理解荒漠植物对干旱环境的适应。为了研究古尔班通古特沙漠主要建群种梭梭(Haloxylon ammodendron)生长季的水分利用动态, 以及其对发生在不同时期相似量级降水脉冲的响应, 利用稳定性同位素技术测量了梭梭小枝木质部水、降水、0-300 cm不同土层的土壤水和地下水的δ ¹⁸O值。水源依据深度划分为4个: 浅层土壤水(0-40 cm), 中层土壤水(40-100 cm), 深层土壤水(100-300 cm)和地下水。然后, 应用IsoSource模型计算了梭梭对潜在水源的利用比例。结果表明: 4月份, 梭梭主要利用浅层土壤水, 利用比例为62%-95%; 5-9月份梭梭主要利用地下水, 利用比例为68%-100%。梭梭对不同时期发生的两场相似量级的降水具有不同程度的响应。5月22日, 6.7 mm降水后第1天, 梭梭对土壤水的吸收达到最大值, 由降水前的9.8%增长为降水后的40.4%, 同时降低了对地下水的吸收, 由降水前的83%-98%下降为42%-81%。8月31日7 mm降水后, 梭梭对土壤水的吸收没有增加, 仍然保持对地下水的高比例利用, 达71%-98%。低的土壤含水量可能抑制了表层根系的活性, 导致梭梭对降水不敏感。由冬季融雪和春季降水补给的浅层土壤水和地下水是梭梭种群可利用的两个重要水源。梭梭的水分利用动态反映了其对干旱环境的适应。     

A highly permeable species boundary between two anadromous fishes

Meristic identification, mitochondrial DNA and a suite of microsatellite markers were employed to estimate the incidence of hybridization in wild populations of anadromous Allis shad Alosa alosa and twaite shad Alosa fallax in southern Irish riverine and estuarine waters. It was shown that 16% of the fishes examined were misclassified using meristic count of gill rakers. Next, a significant proportion of fishes that were robustly assigned to a species using nuclear markers were shown to possess the mtDNA of the other. The genomes of A. alosa and A. fallax in Ireland are extensively introgressed, which suggests a complex history of hybridization between these species, which can only partially be explained by recent man-made habitat changes.
