During the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition of 1984–1985, land parties worked in the area of Mühlig-Hofmannfjella and Gjelsvikfjella in Queen Maud Land (5° 20E, 1° 37W, 1000–1600 m a.s.l.). The nunataks in this area, which represents one of the climatic limits for terrestrial life on earth, is among those areas absorbing the highest quantity of shortwave radiation during a period of 24 h in summer. In spite of this the air temperature never, or very seldom, exceeds 0° C. The limiting factor for photosynthesis over most of the summer was water availability. Melt-water plays an important role in spring. During rest of the growth season, water from condensation is probably the most important water source for plants. On calm nights the rate of condensation during 6 h may reach 0.5 mm, which constitutes only 10%–30% of daily potential evapotranspiration. Plants situated in narrow clefts or shielded by stone blocks have the highest rate of potential photosynthesis. These locations are shielded from direct solar radiation most of the time, but the radiation from surrounding stone surfaces is higher than from the atmosphere and heat loss by turbulence is smaller than for exposed locations. These locations also probably have the highest rate of actual photosynthesis. 相似文献

Radiography of the hip joints of mature dogs has shown that hip dysplasia is quite common in many middle and large size breeds in Norway. The heritability of hip dysplasia has been estimated in several studies to be between 0.2 and 0.6 (Hedhammar et al 1979). This indicates that environmental factors are important for development and severity of hip dysplasia. 相似文献

Our study focuses on the keystone species Acacia tortilis and is the first to investigate the effect of domestic ungulates and aridity on seed viability and germination over an extensive part of the Eastern Sahara. Bruchids infest its seeds and reduce their viability and germination, but ingestion by ruminant herbivores diminishes infestation levels and enhances/promotes seed viability and germination. The degree of these effects seems to be correlated with animal body mass. Significantly reduced numbers of wild ruminant ungulates have increased the potential importance of domestic animals and pastoral nomadism for the functionality of arid North African and Middle Eastern ecosystems. We sampled seeds (16,543) from A. tortilis in eight areas in three regions with different aridity and land use. We tested the effect of geography and sampling context on seed infestation using random effects logistic regressions. We did a randomized and balanced germination experiment including 1193 seeds, treated with different manure. Germination time and rates across geography, sampling context, and infestation status were analyzed using time‐to‐event analyses, Kaplan–Meier curves and proportional hazards Cox regressions. Bruchid infestation is very high (80%), and the effects of context are significant. Neither partial infestation nor adding manure had a positive effect on germination. There is a strong indication that intact, uningested seeds from acacia populations in the extremely arid Western Desert germinate more slowly and have a higher fraction of hard seeds than in the Eastern Desert and the Red Sea Hills. For ingested seeds in the pastoralist areas we find that intact seeds from goat dung germinate significantly better than those from camel dung. This is contrary to the expected body‐mass effect. There is no effect of site or variation in tribal management. 相似文献

Studies of fluctuations in total organic carbon (TOC) were performedin both the reference basin and the acidified basin of experimental LakeSkjervatjern, in order to separate effects of various catchment and in-lakeprocesses. Nearly five years of catchment acidification did not inducesignificant changes in TOC. TOC concentrations was not related clearly toprecipitation or runoff. In both basins, there was a regular, seasonal patternwith a gradual increase in TOC concentrations from spring to late autumn.Minima in concentrations occurred during periods with frozen ground inwinter, irrespective of discharge patterns. The decrease from 10 mg C l-1 in autumn to 1--2 mg C l-1 in latewinter, was only seen in surface layers. Runoff was the major loss routefor surface TOC in the lake. Photo-oxidation, bacterial oxidation, andsedimentation combined yielded maximum loss rates of 3%of surface TOC d-1. Below a depth of 1 m 0.5%d-1 was lost to these same processes. The surface microlayerhad 5--10 times more TOC than the bulk water on average, and could haveeffects on gas exchange and sub-surface light. Despite the oxidation ofTOC, the short residence time of the lake and rapid replacement of TOCfrom the catchment was the major determinant of lake water TOC. 相似文献

Ophidine (β-alanyl-3-methylhistidine) was first detected in the urine of two patients and later in two members of the laboratory staff loaded with whale meat, by column chromatography, high-voltage paper electrophoresis and two-dimensional paper chromatography.The ophidine peak was detected between homocarnosine and dimethylarginine using a lithium buffer gradient in column chromatography. In paper chromatography the ophidine spot was detected at a position close to anserine and homocarnosine. The ophidine in the urine from the patients was of dietary origin since it was absent in the urine a few weeks later. 相似文献
