There is growing international interest in better managing soils to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) content to contribute to climate change mitigation, to enhance resilience to climate change and to underpin food security, through initiatives such as international ‘4p1000’ initiative and the FAO's Global assessment of SOC sequestration potential (GSOCseq) programme. Since SOC content of soils cannot be easily measured, a key barrier to implementing programmes to increase SOC at large scale, is the need for credible and reliable measurement/monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) platforms, both for national reporting and for emissions trading. Without such platforms, investments could be considered risky. In this paper, we review methods and challenges of measuring SOC change directly in soils, before examining some recent novel developments that show promise for quantifying SOC. We describe how repeat soil surveys are used to estimate changes in SOC over time, and how long‐term experiments and space‐for‐time substitution sites can serve as sources of knowledge and can be used to test models, and as potential benchmark sites in global frameworks to estimate SOC change. We briefly consider models that can be used to simulate and project change in SOC and examine the MRV platforms for SOC change already in use in various countries/regions. In the final section, we bring together the various components described in this review, to describe a new vision for a global framework for MRV of SOC change, to support national and international initiatives seeking to effect change in the way we manage our soils. 相似文献

Modelling of soil emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is complicated by complex interactions between processes and factors influencing their production, consumption and transport. In this study N2O emissions and heterotrophic CO2 respiration were simulated from soils under winter wheat grown in three different organic and one inorganic fertilizer-based cropping system using two different models, i.e., MoBiLE-DNDC and FASSET. The two models were generally capable of simulating most seasonal trends of measured soil heterotrophic CO2 respiration and N2O emissions. Annual soil heterotrophic CO2 respiration was underestimated by both models in all systems (about 10?C30% by FASSET and 10?C40% by MoBiLE-DNDC). Both models overestimated annual N2O emissions in all systems (about 10?C580% by FASSET and 20?C50% by MoBiLE-DNDC). In addition, both models had some problems in simulating soil mineral nitrogen, which seemed to originate from deficiencies in simulating degradation of soil organic matter, incorporated residues of catch crops and organic fertilizers. To improve the performance of the models, organic matter decomposition parameters need to be revised. 相似文献

Age determination of Sargochromis codringtonii was undertaken using scalimetry. Marginal scale analysis, used for age validation, indicated that annulus formation occurred in October and November. The possible reasons for this are discussed. S. codringtonii is relatively long-lived, surviving up to 8 years. It is sexually dimorphic with males growing at a faster rate and attaining a larger size than females. It is suggested that the mouth brooding habits of the female fish is one possible reason for sexual dimorphism. A higher total mortality rate (Z) was recorded for females as compared to males. S. codringtonii reproduces throughout the year, but with a peak during the hot wet months. The right ovary is atrophied and the possible significance of this is discussed. 相似文献

Stream fish assemblages in relation to environmental factors on a montane plateau (Nyika Plateau,Malawi) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Few studies have examined river fishes of Malawi. This study is one of the first to examine the stream fish assemblages on
the Nyika Plateau in northern Malawi. Twenty four sites were sampled over three different periods in two river systems of
the plateau. Eighteen species were collected and among these was Hippopotamyrus ansorgii, the first collection of this species in the Lake Malawi catchment. Three species, including a non-native trout, were common
in the two systems studied. Correspondence analysis (CA) suggested gradients in species composition related to altitude and
river type. Species succession, from a trout dominated upstream to a downstream dominated by indigenous species, was shown
on the first CA axis. The second CA axis showed the assemblage of the plateau separated by river type. A direct gradient analysis
method, canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), showed the importance of two stream position metrics (stream order and c-link),
depth, water temperature and substrate type in determining species composition. According to variation partitioning in CCA,
the spatial and temporal components respectively explained 46% and 3.6% variation in assemblage composition based on the all
species data matrix, and 48.7% and 2.6% variation in assemblage composition based on the native species data matrix. The species
collected were also discussed in relation to the morphological adaptations in their body forms to the environmental conditions
of the streams studied. 相似文献

马拉维Nyika高原三种溪流鱼类的生境类型 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

本研究调查了生活在非洲马拉维北部Nyika高原三种溪流鱼类的栖息地.分3个时期选择3条河流的24个地点进行取样,每个样点长100 m左右;分急流和回水湾两种生境类型作为独立的栖息地单元取样,据此观察研究对象和物理环境间的关系;用喜好指数和逻辑回归分析每种鱼重要栖息地是否稳定.瞻星平鳍鲇(Amphilius uranoscopus)通常喜欢生活在水深小于50 cm、流速0.4-1 m/s的缓流河段,这里水色较深,河底多卵石.黄鱼(Labeobarbus johnstonii)常被发现在水深大于50 cm的河段,河水流速中等或较急.引入种虹鳟(Oncorhynchus mykiss)的活动范围常局限在水温低于20℃的河段,这些河段水深中等,流速较快,沿河多植物.虹鳟栖息地与土著种相似,可能与同域分布的土著种,特别是与广泛分布的瞻星平鳍鲇存在生存竞争. 相似文献

Sargochromis codringtonii has always been considered a good candidate for the biological control of snails. However, there is lack of data on the feeding ecology of this species. The diet of S. codringtonii was examined by an analysis of stomach contents. The food of adult S. codringtonii in Lake Kariba is dominated by prosobranch snails. Pulmonate snails form a small insignificant component of the diet of S. codringtonii , and the reasons for this are discussed. Electivity indices were used to investigate prey selection. S. codringtonii does not show a particular preference for any snail species. It feeds on any snail species that is readily available. A morphometrical analysis of the feeding structures of S. codringtonii showed that the fish is well adapted to handling a molluscivorous diet. The daily food consumption of S. codringtonii was estimated over different seasons using the Elliot & Persson (1978 ) model [ J. Anim. Ecol. 47. 977–991]. Estimates of food consumption indicate that the fish consumed 14.0% of their dry body weight per day in summer and this falls to 4.5% in winter. The low consumption of pulmonates means that S. codringtonii cannot be a successful biological control agent against the vectors of schistosomiasis. 相似文献

The food of adult Sargochromis codringtonii in Lake Kariba was dominated by prosobranch snails with pulmonate snails forming an insignificant dietary component. S. codringtonii does not show particular preference for any snail species, feeding on those species that are readily available. Morphometrical analysis of the feeding structures of S. codringtonii showed that the fish is well adapted to handling a molluscivorous diet. The pharyngeal jaws with their flat crowned teeth are well adapted to crushing molluscs. The daily food consumption rate of S. codringtonii was estimated over different seasons. Estimates of food consumption indicate that the fish consumed 13.96% of their dry body weight per day in summer falling to 4.46% in winter. The low consumption of pulmonate snails suggests that S. codringtonii can not be a successful biological control agent against the vectors of schistosomiasis. 相似文献
