中部天山林线动态对气候变化的响应研究

中部天山高山林线构成一个对气候变化及其变化程度的理想而敏感的代表性指标，低温、干旱和水分胁迫等都可能限制森林的分布和影响林线的形成。本文通过沿海拔梯度定位调查高山林线样地天山云杉种群的更新情况，利用树木年轮气候学和生态学方法，研究了林线天山云杉种群的时间动态和空间动态及其与气候变化的关系，并取得了一些初步结果。 利用不同年龄的树木年轮序列建立了三个不同年龄的树木年轮宽度年表，幼龄(<100年)，中龄(100-200年)和老龄(>200年) 树木都与当年生长季前期1-3月份的温度显著正相关，和当年1月份和7月份的降水显著正相关。但不同年龄的天山云杉对气候变化的响应结果不同，幼龄(<100年)天山云杉对气候变化的响应程度随年龄的增加而增加，但变化趋势不明显；中龄树木(100-200年)对气候变化的响应随年龄的增加而降低；老龄(>200年)天山云杉受年龄的影响不大。 有关古气候变化的相关研究中，都是尽可能采取年代长的树木年轮样本建立年代较长的年表，并利用最近几十年的气候资料与最近几十年的树木生长的相关关系来重建古气候变化情况。本文的研究结果表明，将不同年龄天山云杉的树木年轮宽度序列放在一起所建成的多年龄复合年表包含有更多的气候信息，显示出当地天山云杉种群对气候变化反应的共性。研究结果表明在建树木年轮的宽度年表时，选用一定数量的不同年龄的树木年轮宽度序列可增强年表对气候变化的响应关系。 利用不同年龄的天山云杉样本建成的复合年龄的树木年轮宽度年表对冬季的最低温度的响应关系，重建了中部天山高山林线地区过去300年来的冬季最低温度。重建的冬季最低温度的有几个明显的暖期和冷期，20世纪50年代以来冬季低温则表现出显著增高的变化趋势。 中部天山高山林线天山云杉种群的胸径和年龄结构以都呈倒-J型分布，说明天山云杉种群更新良好，处于稳定发展时期。随着全球变暖和温度的升高，20世纪以来中部天山高山林线天山云杉的种群更新数量较多，天山云杉的密度有所增加，但林线位置并没有显著的上升，不同年代内更新的树木所到达的海拔高度也不一样。中部天山高山林线天山云杉种群发生的时间动态主要和冬季最低温度正相关，而不同时间内更新的天山云杉种群空间动态形成原因比较复杂，主要和冬季低温负相关。

Microcystin-RR induces physiological stress and cell death in the cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon sp DC01 isolated from Lake Dianchi, China

The phytoplankton community in Lake Dianchi (Yunnan Province, Southwestern China) is dominated in April by a bloom of Aphanizomenon, that disappears Suddenly and is displaced by a Microcystis bloom in May. The reasons for the rapid bloom disappearance phenomenon and the temporal variability in the composition of phytoplankton assemblages are poorly understood. Cell growth, ultrastructure and physiological changes were examined in cultures of Aphanizomenon sp. DC01 isolated from Lake Dianchi exposed to different closes of rnicrocystin-RR (MC-RR) produced by the Microcystis bloom. MC-RR concentrations above 100 mu g L-1 markedly inhibited the pigment (chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin) synthesis and caused an increase of soluble carbohydrate and protein contents and nitrate reductase activity of toxin-treated blue-green algae. A drastic. reduction in photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) was also found. Morphological examinationn showed that the Aphanizomenon filaments disintegrated and file cells lysed gradually after 48 h Of toxin exposure. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that cellular inclusions of stressed cells almost leaked out completely and the cell membranes were grossly damaged. These findings demonstrate the allelopathic activity of Microcystis aeruginosa inducing physiological stress and cell death of Aphanizomenon sp. DC01 Although the active concentrations of microcystin were rather high, we propose that microcystin may function as allelopathic Substance due to inhomogeneous toxin concentrations close to Microcystis cells. Hence, it may play a role in species Succession of Aphanizomenon and Microcystis in Lake Dianchi.

辽河流域降雨侵蚀力的时空变化分析

降雨侵蚀力是反映流域降雨侵蚀能力的综合指标之一。根据辽河流域10个气象站的日降雨量资料,利用日降雨侵蚀力模型估算辽河流域的降雨侵蚀力。结果表明:辽河流域降雨侵蚀力的空间变异与降雨量的空间分布趋势基本一致,由东南向西北递减,变化于1 000~3 800 MJ.mm/(hm2.h.a)之间;降雨侵蚀力年内集中度高,6—8月3个月约占全年的80%;降雨侵蚀力年际变化大,年际变率Cv在0.367~0.649之间,采用时序系列的Mann-Kendall检验表明,降雨侵蚀力并无显著变化趋势;特别是在流域水土流失严重的西辽河地区,年降雨侵蚀力较小,但年内集中程度大,年际变化更突出。

子午岭60年辽东栎林种子质量与森林更新

辽东栎是我国暖温带落叶阔叶林地带的优势乔木树种之一。通过26年的定位监测,对子午岭辽东栎林种子质量消减、种子萌发与环境条件、实生苗时空分布动态以及对其森林更新的影响等方面进行了初步探讨。结果表明:辽东栎林在子午岭半阳坡、半阴坡和阴坡3种类型中,平均完好种子占种子总数的26.65%;霉变种子占18.72%;动物取食虫蛀种子在阴坡远高于半阴坡和半阳坡,占到种子总数的26.32%;已发芽的种子占其总数的28.31%,且半阴坡>半阳坡>阴坡。每年均有大量种子生产,但在生境与动物的共同作用下,种子数量和质量受到很大影响,多达73.35%的种子失去生命力,直接影响实生苗的形成;地表覆盖物虽能促进种子的快速发芽,但对成苗却是一个物理障碍,影响是负作用的,主要影响因子是地表覆盖物的厚度和含水量;在辽东栎林下虽有一定的实生幼苗分布,但数量极少,平均密度仅为140~120株/hm2,且不同立地条件差异显著,严重影响森林的天然更新。

次生林林窗光环境时空特征及其对下层植被的影响

林窗是森林中经常发生的重要中小尺度干扰，在森林天然更新中起着重要作用。灌木和草本植物通过与乔木幼苗竞争林窗资源（尤其是光）而影响林窗树种更新，因此，研究林窗光环境时空特征及其与下层植被关系对揭示林窗树种更新机制具有重要意义。然而，林窗光环境的时空异质性及有效测量方法的缺乏导致这方面研究很少。本研究提出了林窗立体结构的相片测量法；基于林窗立体结构、坡度和坡向改进了目前广泛用于估测林窗光环境的林窗光指数(gap light index, GLI)模型，并提出了林窗内任意位置最大光照时长(potential sunshine duration, PSD)的计算方法；采用改进的GLI和PSD分析了东北次生林3个不同大小林窗（110，270，510 m2）及其对应的9个模拟林窗中2007年光环境的时空特征；通过在12个人工林窗中连续3年的植被调查，研究了林窗形成后前3年下层木本和草本植物对4个光强梯度的响应，主要结论如下： 1. 林窗立体结构和光环境的测量方法：1) 等角椭圆扇形法计算的林窗面积比目前使用较多的等角多边形法具有更高的精度；2) 半球面影像法可以测量林窗面积和形状，且精度较高；3) 双半球面影像法不仅可以测量林窗面积、形状，还可以测量任意方位林窗边缘木高度；4) 改进的GLI可以快速、精确计算林窗任意位置的直射光和散射光；5) PSD可用于分析林窗光照强度时空特征。 2. 东北次生林林窗光环境时空特征：1) 水平空间结构（地面层）：光环境空间异质性高，最大值位于林窗北部，坡向对光分布格局影响大而对光强影响小，光强随林窗面积的增大和边缘木高度的降低而增加；2) 垂直空间结构（林窗南北轴）：不同高度层光强最大值均位于林窗南北轴中心偏北，南北轴距地面越高光强最大值则越靠近轴中心；光强随距地面高度下降而衰减，最大衰退速率点位于轴中心偏南，靠近该点光强衰退线呈指数形，远离该点则趋于直线形；3) 光成分特征（地面层南北轴）：南坡林窗整个南北轴上直射光大于散射光，北坡模拟林窗南半轴散射光大于直射光，而北半轴相反；南坡林窗中直射光的均值及其变化范围都比其对应的北坡模拟林窗大，然而，坡向对散射光影响不大；南坡林窗和北坡模拟林窗北半轴的全光和直射光均比南半轴大，但散射光没有这种显著的规律；4) 时间特征：不同月份PSD在相同大小林窗中分布格局十分相似，6月份林窗中被光照射面积和PSD均值最大，而10月份最小；各月PSD在南北轴上从南到北逐渐增加，在东西轴上自西向东缓慢增加。 3. 林窗早期下层植被对光强梯度的响应：1) 木本植物物种丰富度随光照强度的增加而增高，且在林窗形成后的第2和3年均存在显著相关性；2) DCA排序第一轴表明，木本植物物种组成仅第1年在4个光强梯度间存在显著差异，而在各年间存在显著差异；草本植物物种组成在4个光强梯度上存在显著差异，但在各年间不存在显著差异；3) 木本植物生物体积(biovolume)随光强梯度升高而增加，而植株密度不存在显著变化；生物体积逐年增加，平均年增长率为20.3%，植株密度逐年下降，平均年减少率为30.0%；4) 草本层盖度和高度在4个光强梯度间均不存在显著差异，但在林窗形成后的第2、3年均显著比第1年大。

长白山阔叶红松林种子雨组成与时空格局

种子雨是森林植物种群更新的主要方式之一，是森林生态系统自我繁衍和恢复的主要手段。为了解长白山阔叶红松林种子雨的组成及其时空变化，参照BCI 50ha 样地技术规范，在长白山阔叶红松林25ha长期监测样地内设置了150个种子收集器，从2006年5月15日到2007年11月8日，每15天收集掉落于收集器中的果实、种子及其相关附属物等。所收到的样品分别鉴定其种类并分为成熟种实、未成熟种实、花絮、果实或种子碎片及其附属物4类，记录各类别的数量，然后分别烘干称重。 研究期间，共收集到11科12属22种木本植物的种子及其它生殖器官残体，包括成熟种实16种，未成熟种实17种，花序12种，翅2种，果实或种子碎片及其附属物10种。累计收集到种实136664粒，其中成熟种实32358粒，占所有种实总数的23.80%。种实数最多的树种是紫椴(Tilia amurensis)，其次为水曲柳(Fraxinus mandshuica)，两个树种种实数占总数的89.54%。种实总重量为3320.93g，其中成熟种实总重量为1242.85g，占37.4%。成熟种实中水曲柳和紫椴的重量最大，其次是色木槭(Acer mono)，假色槭(A. pseudo-sieboldianum)、糠椴(T. mandshuric)和红松(Pinus koraiensis)。 种子雨数量年际变化明显，2006年种子雨密度为1370.25粒/m2，2007年为249.47粒/m2，差异极显著(P<0.001)。但不同年份种子雨的季节动态趋势一致，均有两个明显的大高峰期和一个小高峰期。不同物种种子雨扩散的时间格局大致可以分为“单峰”和“双峰”两种类型，在时间上体现了不同物种的更新策略。 150个收集器均收到了成熟种实，各收集器中的种实数呈偏态分布，种实数在150-250之间的收集器数量最多，共68个，种实数小于50的收集器有5个，种实数大于250的收集器共37个。样地内成熟种实数量及其空间分布差异明显，收集器中种实数在1000个以上的有3个，最多达1511个，聚集分布于样地的西北角；收集器中种实数最少的只有22个种实。种实重量的空间分布与种实数分布一样存在较明显的空间差异，只是差异性相对偏弱一些，且与种实数量的空间分布不一致。

Introduction to Molecular Analysis of Ectomycorrhizal Communities

A number of methods are available for those researchers considering the addition of molecular analyses of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi to their research projects and weighing the various approaches they might take. Analyzing natural EcM fungal communities has traditionally been a highly skilled, time-consuming process relying heavily on exacting morphological characterization of EcM root tips. Increasingly powerful molecular methods for analyzing EcM communities make this area of research available to a much wider range of researchers. Ecologists can gain from the body of work characterizing EcM while avoiding the requirement for exceptional expertise by carefully combining elements of traditional methods with the more recent molecular approaches. A cursory morphological analysis can yield a traditional quantification of EcM fungi based on tip numbers, a unit with functional and historical significance. Ectomycorrhizal root DNA extracts may then be analyzed with molecular methods widely used for characterizing microbiota. These range from methods applicable only to the simple mixes resulting from careful morphotyping, to community-oriented methods that identify many types in mixed samples as well as provide an estimate of their relative abundances. Extramatrical hyphae in bulk soil can also be more effectively studied, extending characterization of EcM fungal communities beyond the rhizoplane. The trend toward techniques permitting larger sample sets without prohibitive labor and time requirements will also permit us to more frequently address the issues of spatial and temporal variability and better characterize the roles of EcM fungi at multiple scales.

黄土高原旱作小麦化感表达在根际土中的时空异质性研究

采用盆栽试验基于统计学方法,对4种不同品种小麦在4个连续生长期根系表层土壤(0~20cm)化感潜势时空异质性进行了研究。结果表明:不同品种小麦之间根系土壤化感潜势差异极显著(P=0.01),随生育期变化,化感潜力的变异与品种有关,一般15cm为普通小麦耕层土壤化感潜力的转折位点。变异函数分析显示,4种小麦根系土壤化感潜势变化是独立、随机、异质性的。"碧玛1号"、"丰产3号"、"宁冬1号"、"小偃22号"变异函数理论模型分别为线形模型、球型模型、指数模型和高斯模型。其中"小偃22号"的化感背景值和化感潜力空间结构比随生育期增大,导致0~20cm表层土壤化感表达具有高度的空间异质性。4种普通小麦的化感表达均存在时空异质性,其中"宁冬1号"的表层土壤化感表达具有很好的分形特征,其空间分布格局的变异存在尺度依赖。"宁冬1号"化感潜势在表层土壤的空间分布趋于离散表达,化感潜力的有效纵向半径和有效延深半径分别为5cm和14cm。这种时空变异格局可能与根系发育特征、根系翻转运动及土壤环境有关,化感实施过程可能为熵增过程。根系表层土壤化感潜势时空异质性的研究可为监测化感作用实施,定位有效化感物质和合理利用土壤化感潜势提供理论...

Diagnostic experiments for transport mechanisms of suspended sediment discharged from the Yellow River in the Bohai Sea

Five diagnostic experiments with a 3D baroclinic hydrodynamic and sediment transport model ECOMSED in couple with the third generation wave model SWAN and the Grant-Madsen bottom boundary layer model driven by the monthly sediment load of the Yellow River, were conducted to separately diagnose effects of different hydrodynamic factors on transport of suspended sediment discharged from the Yellow River in the Bohai Sea. Both transport and spatio-temporal distribution of suspended sediment concentration in the Bohai Sea were numerially simulated. It could be concluded that suspended sediment discharged from the Yellow River cannot be delivered in long distance under the condition of tidal current. Almost all of sediments from the Yellow River are deposited outside the delta under the condition of wind-driven current, and only very small of them are transported faraway. On the basis of wind forcing, sediments from the Yellow River are mainly transported north-northwestward, and others which are first delivered to the Laizhou Bay are continuously moved northward. An obvious 3D structure characteristic of sediment transport is produced in the wind-driven and tide-induced residual circulation condition. Transport patterns at all layers are generally consistent with circulation structure, but there is apparent deviation between the depth-averaged sediment flux and the circulation structure. The phase of temporal variation of sediment concentration is consistent with that of the bottom shear stress, both of which are proved to have a ten-day cycle in wave and current condition.

A Video Quality Assessment Metric Based on Human Visual System

It is important for practical application to design an effective and efficient metric for video quality. The most reliable way is by subjective evaluation. Thus, to design an objective metric by simulating human visual system (HVS) is quite reasonable and available. In this paper, the video quality assessment metric based on visual perception is proposed. Three-dimensional wavelet is utilized to decompose video and then extract features to mimic the multichannel structure of HVS. Spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity function (S-T CSF) is employed to weight coefficient obtained by three-dimensional wavelet to simulate nonlinearity feature of the human eyes. Perceptual threshold is exploited to obtain visual sensitive coefficients after S-T CSF filtered. Visual sensitive coefficients are normalized representation and then visual sensitive errors are calculated between reference and distorted video. Finally, temporal perceptual mechanism is applied to count values of video quality for reducing computational cost. Experimental results prove the proposed method outperforms the most existing methods and is comparable to LHS and PVQM.

Seeding nets with neutral spores of the red alga Porphyra umbilicalis (L.) Kutzing for use in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA)

Nets in traditional Porphyra mariculture are seeded with conchospores derived from the conchocelis phase, and spend a nursery period in culture tanks or calm coastal waters until they reach several centimeters in length. Some species of Porphyra can regenerate the foliose phase directly through asexual reproduction, which suggests that the time, infrastructure, and costs associated with conchocelis culture might be avoided by seeding nets with asexual spores. Here, we present work from a short-term mariculture study using nets seeded with asexual spores (neutral spores) of a native Maine species of Porphyra. Porphyra umbilicalis (L.) Kutzing was selected for this proof of concept research because of its reproductive biology, abundance across seasons in Maine, and evidence of its promise as a mariculture crop. We studied the maturation, release, and germination of the neutral spores to develop an appropriate seeding protocol for nets, followed by development of a nursery raceway to provide an easily manipulated environment for the seeded nets. Neutral spores were produced throughout the year on the central Maine coast,however, there was a temporal variability in the number and survival of released neutral spores, depending upon thallus position in the intertidal zone. Small thalli were strictly vegetative, but most thalli reproduced by neutral spores- sexual reproduction was absent. Neutral spores germinated quickly at 10 and 15 'C, but germination was delayed at 5 degrees C. Unlike some algal zygotes and spores, neutral spores of R umbilicalis required light to germinate; however, irradiances of 25 and 100 mu mol photons M-2 S-1 were equally sufficient for germination. Rafts of seeded nets were deployed in Cobscook Bay, Maine, at two distances from salmon aquaculture pens and at a control site on a nearby, fallow aquaculture site (no salmon). There was no difference in nitrogen content of harvested thalli; however, both the density and the surface area of harvested thalli were different among the sites. The possible causes of these differences are discussed in the context of potential use of P umbilicalis in IMTA. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Suspended particulate matter fluxes through the Straits of Dover, English Channel: observations and modelling

Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) concentrations at various levels within the water column, together with salinity and temperature, were measured using water samples collected from six stations across the Straits of Dover. The sampling programme covered a 16-month period, undertaken during 23 cruises. On the basis of the spatial variability in the concentrations, the water bodies are divided by several boundaries, controlled by tidal and wind conditions. Within the water column, SPM concentrations were higher near the sea bed than in the surface waters. Throughout the cross-section, maximum concentrations occurred adjacent to the coastlines. Temporal variability in the SPM concentration exists on daily and seasonal scales within the coastal waters (4.2 to 74.5 mg L-1): resuspension processes, in response to semi-diurnal tidal cycles (with a period of around 12.4 h) and spring-neap cycles (with a period of 15 days) make significant contributions. Distinctive seasonal/annual concentration changes have also been observed. In the offshore waters, such variability is much less significant (0.9 to 6.0 mg L-1). In the summer the English Coastal Zone is associated with relatively high SPM concentrations: the Central Zone has a low and stable SPM concentration between these zones, there is a Transitional Zone, where there is a rapid response of SPM concentration to wind forcing. Finally, the French Coastal Zone is characterized by variable (sometimes high) SPM concentrations. Because of the zonation, SPM fluxes within the Dover Strait are controlled by different transport mechanisms. Within the Central Zone, the flux can be represented by the product of mean water discharges and SPM concentrations. However, within the coastal zones fluctuations in SPM concentrations on various time-scales must be considered. In order to calculate the maximum and minimum SPM fluxes, 10 cells were divided in the strait. A simple modelling calculation has been proposed for this complex area. The effect of spring-neap tidal cycles and seasonal changes can contribute significantly to the overall flux, which is of the order of 20 x 10(6) t.yr(-1) (through the Dover Strait, towards the North Sea). Such an estimate is higher than most obtained previously. (C) 2000 Ifremer/CNRS/IRD/Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.

胶州湾及其邻近海域的浮游植物－种类组成与数量变化

研究胶州湾浮游植物的物种组成与时空分布的特点，对于了解该湾生态系统的现状与历史变化趋势以及生态系统对自然条件变化和人类干扰的响应具有重要意义。 本文根据2004年每月一次采集的浮游植物样品，分析了胶州湾浮游植物的物种组成和优势种的时空分布情况。调查发现浮游植物共142种，分属于6门53属，其中硅藻门40属113种，占总物种数的79.6%；甲藻门10属24种，占总物种数的16.9%；其它为金藻门1属2种，裸藻1属1种，绿藻1属2种。浮游植物丰度周年波动范围为11.12－14602.39×104cells/m3，全年平均为1857.55×104cells/m3。全年丰度最高的藻为环纹劳德藻(Lauderia annulata)，出现在2月份，而全年的丰度最高值也出现在2月份。在胶州湾中，硅藻所占比例最大，平均为97.44%，最高为99.95%，最低为82.55%。浮游植物的丰度的周年变化：有两个高峰，分别出现在2月份和10月份，是典型的温带海域双高峰的分布形式。 胶州湾浮游植物的优势种分析，采用Kikvidze等（2002）提出的确定优势种数量的计算方法，再依据各物种的优势度排序最终确定优势种。其中在多样性最低的6月和10月，优势种数目均为1种，分别为丹麦细柱藻（Leptocylindrus danicus）和中肋骨条藻（Skeletonema costatum）。而在多样性指数较低的1月、2月，优势种数目分别为2和3；而在物种多样性比较高的5月、7月、11月，由于分布相对比较分散，所以优势种数量较多。这说明这个方法可以较好地完成对胶州湾浮游植物群落分析时确定优势种的目标。优势种出现频率较多的种类为中肋骨条藻（1、3、4、5、8、10、11、12月）、洛氏角毛藻(Chaetoceros lorenzianus)（7、8、9、11、12月）、尖刺拟菱形藻(Pseudonitzschia pungens)（2、3、5、7月）、加拉星杆藻(Asteronella kariana)（1、2、3、5月）、密联角毛藻(Chaetoceros densus)（5、11、12月）、扭鞘藻(Streptothece thamesis)（7、8、9月）、夜光藻(Noctiluca scintillancs)（4、5、7月）、奇异菱形藻(Nitzschia paradoxa)（5、11、12月）,对这些种的时空分布进行了分析。 对2004年胶州湾的浮游植物数据进行分层聚类分析后，发现可以将胶州湾划分为三个海区：湾南与湾外海区、湾中西部海区、湾东海区。
