黄海浮游动物功能群的研究

浮游动物在海洋生态系统物质循环和能量流动中起着至关重要的作用。浮游动物物种组成、生物量和次级生产力的变化会改变生态系统的结构和功能。在黄海生态系统中如何描述这个过程，并使它易于模拟是本论文的研究目的。生物量和生产力是海洋生态系统食物网的基础。谁是浮游动物生物量和次级生产力的基础？哪些种类在生态系统中起关键作用？这些问题在黄海这样的温带陆架边缘海区很难回答，原因是物种组成、生物量和生产力的季节变化显著。因此，在对黄海食物产出的关键过程进行模拟时，需要应用既准确又简便的方法来对浮游动物群落的生态过程进行模拟。在对黄海浮游动物群落结构和物理海洋学特征进行充分的分析之后，浮游动物功能群的方法被确定用来进行黄海生态系统结构和功能的模拟。 根据浮游动物的粒径、摄食习性和营养功能，黄海浮游动物被分为6个功能群：大型浮游甲壳动物功能群（Giant crustacean，GC）、大型桡足类功能群（Large copepods, LC）、小型桡足类功能群（Small copepods，SC）、毛颚类功能群（Chaetognaths）、水母类功能群（Medusae）和海樽类功能群（Salps）。GC、LC和SC是按照粒径大小而划分的功能群，他们是高营养层次的主要食物资源。毛颚类和水母类是两类胶质性的肉食性浮游动物功能群，他们与高营养层次竞争摄食饵料浮游动物；海樽类与其他浮游动物种类竞争摄食浮游植物，而本身的物质和能量却不能有效的传递到高营养层次。本文研究报道了浮游动物各功能群的时空分布、基于浮游动物动能群的黄海生态区划分、饵料浮游动物功能群的生产力、毛颚类对浮游动物的摄食压力以及中华哲水蚤（Calanus sinicus）的摄食生态学。 春季，浮游动物生物量为2.1 g m–2，GC、LC和SC对生物量的贡献率分别为19, 44 和 26%。高生物量的LC和SC功能群主要分布于山东半岛南岸的近岸海域，而GC主要分布在远岸站位。夏季，浮游动物的生物量为3.1 g m–2，GC贡献了73%。GC、LC和SC主要分布在黄海的中部海域。秋季，浮游动物生物量为1.8 g m–2，GC、LC和SC的贡献率相似，分别为36, 33和23%，高生物量的GC和LC分布在黄海中部，而SC主要分布在远岸站位。GC和LC是冬季浮游动物生物量（2.9 g m–2）的优势功能群，分别贡献率了57%和27%，高生物量的GC、LC和SC都分布在黄海的中部海域。与GC、LC和SC相比，毛颚类生物量较低，主要分布于黄海的中北部海域。水母类（本文中指小型水母类）和海樽类斑块分布明显，主要分布于黄海沿岸和北部海域。属于不同功能群的约10个种类为浮游动物的优势种，控制着浮游动物群落的动态。 春季，黄海可以被分成4个浮游动物生态区，浮游动物生物量的分布中心位于山东半岛南岸近岸海域，与第一个生态区相对应，LC和SC在分布中心起主要的控制作用；夏、秋和冬季，黄海分别被分成3、4和3个生态区，浮游动物生物量的分布中心均位于黄海的中部海域，均与各季节的第一个生态区相对应，GC和LC是分布中心生态区的优势功能群，对分布中心起主要的控制作用。黄海冷水团（YSCBW）在GC、LC和SC的空间分布模式中起着重要的作用。黄海不同季节浮游动物生态区的空间分布模式及生态区中起控制作用的优势功能群类别有着重要的生态学意义。 我们将饵料浮游动物功能群细化为0.16–0.25 mm、0.25–0.5 mm、0.5–1 mm、1–2 mm和 >2 mm5个粒径组。应用生物能量学的方法研究了不同粒径浮游动物的生产力。结果表明：浮游动物次级生产力5月份最高，为91.9 mg C m–2 d–1，其次是6月和9月，分别为75.6 mg C m–2 d–1和65.5 mg C m–2 d–1，8月、3月和12月较低，仅为42.3 mg C m–2 d–1、35.9 mg C m–2 d–1和27.9 mg C m–2 d–1。根据这些结果，黄海浮游动物年次级生产力为18.9 g C m–2 year–1。0.16–0.25 mm和 0.25–0.5 mm 两个粒径组对浮游动物次级生产力的贡献率为58–79%，即相对应的SC功能群的周转率（P/B, 0.091–0.193 d–1）要高于GC和LC。 黄海毛颚类功能群的优势种类为强壮箭虫（Sagitta crassa）、纳嘎箭虫（S. nagae）、肥胖箭虫（S. enflata）和百陶箭虫（S. bedoti）。我们对这四种箭虫的生产力和对浮游动物生物量和生产力的摄食压力进行了研究。结果表明：黄海毛颚类总的生物量为98–217 mg m–2，总的生产力为1.22–2.36 mg C m–2 d–1。黄海毛颚类的生物量占浮游动物总生物量的6.35–14.47%，而生产力仅占浮游动物总生产力的2.54–6.04%。强壮箭虫和纳嘎箭虫是黄海毛颚类功能群的绝对优势种，控制着黄海毛颚类群落的动态。黄海毛颚类总的摄食率为4.24–8.18 mg C m–2d–1，对浮游动物现存量和生产力总的摄食压力分别为为0.94%和12.56%。黄海冬季，浮游动物的现存量和生产力为0.4 g C m–2和0.026 g C m–2d–1，而毛颚类的摄食压力却达到了全年的最大值，为1.4%和20.94%。因此，毛颚类的摄食可能对冬季浮游动物群落结构造成重要的影响。通过不同体长组箭虫的摄食率可以推断，黄海毛颚类全年主要摄食小型桡足类，对SC功能群的摄食压力最大。但是在夏季黄海冷水团形成的月份，毛颚类对前体长为2 mm的LC功能群中的种类摄食压力也较大，但此时，由于优势种中华哲水蚤进入滞育阶段，因此毛颚类的摄食会对其种群数量造成严重的影响。 中华哲水蚤在春、秋季的摄食率分别为2.08–11.46和0.26–3.70 µg C female–1 day–1，与微型浮游生物的现存量呈显著的正相关。春季，在黄海的北部，中华哲水蚤通过摄食微型浮游生物吸收的碳量能够满足其代谢和繁殖需求，而在黄海的南部和秋季黄海冷水团锋区附近，中华哲水蚤必须通过摄食其他类型的食物资源来维持其代谢和生殖需求。较低的摄食率、无产卵以及种群中CV期桡足幼体占优势表明，秋季中华哲水蚤在黄海冷水团区域内处于滞育状态。中华哲水蚤优先摄食微型原生动物，并且春季中华哲水蚤总的生长效率（GGE, 3–39%）与食物中微型原生动物的比例呈显著的正相关，表明微型原生动物具有较高的营养价值。但是，因较低的产卵率（0.16–12.6 eggs female–1 day–1）而导致的中华哲水蚤较低的总生长效率（13.4%），可能就是由于其食物中的必需营养成分含量不足（或缺乏）造成的。 本文从生物量的角度，对黄海浮游动物各功能群的时空分布、生态区划分进行了研究报道，对GC、LC和SC功能群的生产力、毛颚类对浮游动物的摄食压力和中华哲水蚤的摄食生态学进行了较为深入的研究，这些结果为黄海食物产出的关键过程的模拟提供了基础资料。今后的研究重点应搞清楚黄海水母类对浮游动物次级生产力的摄食压力和海樽类在食物产出模型中产生的负效应的程度，浮游动物各功能群的组成、季节变化和空间分布模式的长期变化，尤其是在气候变化和人类活动的影响下，将是今后研究的重点。

Feeding and egg production of the planktonic copepod Calanus sinicus in spring and autumn in the Yellow Sea, China

Shipboard incubations were conducted in spring (April) and autumn (October/November) 2006 to measure the feeding and egg production rates (EPR) of Calanus sinicus in the Yellow Sea, China. The ingestion rate (2.08-11.46 and 0.26-3.70 mu g C female(-1) day(-1) in spring and autumn, respectively) was positively correlated with microplankton carbon concentrations. In the northern part of the Yellow Sea, feeding on microplankton easily covers the respiratory and production requirements, whereas in the southern part in spring and in the frontal zone in autumn, C. sinicus must ingest alternative food sources. Low ingestion rates, no egg production and the dominance of the fifth copepodite (CV) stage indicated that C. sinicus was in quiescence inside the Yellow Sea Cold Bottom Water (YSCBW) area in autumn. Calanus sinicus ingested ciliates preferentially over other components of the microplankton. The EPR (0.16-12.6 eggs female(-1) day(-1) in spring and 11.4 eggs female(-1) day(-1) at only one station in autumn) increased with ciliate standing stock. Gross growth efficiency (GGE) was 13.4% (3-39%) in spring, which was correlated with the proportion of ciliates in the diet. These results indicate that ciliates have higher nutrient quality than other food items, but the low GGE indicates that the diet of C. sinicus is nutritionally incomplete.

The combined effects of temperature and food supply on Calanus sinicus in the southern Yellow Sea in summer

The effects of temperature and food availability on the life history strategy of the planktonic copepod Calanus sinicus in the southern Yellow Sea in summer were studied in this paper. The fifth copepodite stage (CV) dominates the population in the central part of the southern Yellow Sea, where the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM) occurs below the thermocline. Incubation experiments were conducted on CV C. sinicus caught from the YSCWM to examine the effects of temperature and food availability. Temperature at the surface (27degreesC) is lethal to CVs regardless of food availability. At the temperature in the middle of the thermocline (18degreesC), survival time of the specimens depends on food availability, being similar to20 days in treatments without extra food supply. At the temperature in the YSCWM (9degreesC), most animals survive at the end of 27 day incubation even in treatments without food supply. Developmental rate of CVs at 9degreesC without extra food supply is extremely low. The increase of either temperature or food supply promotes the developmental rate of CVs. According to these results, the surface layers with high temperature and low food abundance are detrimental for the survival and reproduction of C. sinicus. Low temperature and low food availability in the YSCWM help CV to maintain a much lower developmental rate and higher survival rate. The ecological trait of C. sinicus in the southern Yellow Sea in summer cannot be sufficiently explained solely by the effects of temperature.

Life history strategies of Calanus sinicus in the southern Yellow Sea in summer

Ecological and physiological features of the planktonic copepod Calanus sinicus in the southern Yellow Sea in summer were studied to reveal its life history strategy. From the coastal shallow waters to the central part of the southern Yellow Sea, a shift of the stage composition occurs from being dominated by the egg-nauplius stage to being dominated by the fifth copepodite (CV) stage. Most CVs reside in the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass (YSCWM), where both temperature and food abundance are low. CVs in the YSCWM have longer body lengths, heavier body weights and higher carbon contents than those outside the YSCWM. Onboard incubations show that the development of CVs in the YSCWM is suspended. Energy conservation, development suspension and lack of diel vertical migration (DVM) behavior suggest a diapause status for the CVs in the YSCWM, although vertical distribution patterns indicate the CV individuals are not fully synchronous in physiology and development. This adaptive oversummering strategy would help C. sinicus to live through the warm and food-limited summer in the central part of the southern Yellow Sea; both low temperature and low food supply are necessary for CV to maintain the resting state in the YSCWM. Calanus sinicus exhibits different life history strategies in different regions of the southern Yellow Sea in summer.

Feeding and respiration rates of a planktonic copepod (Calanus sinicus) oversummering in Yellow Sea Cold Bottom Waters

The distribution, feeding and oxygen consumption of Calanus sinicus were studied in August 2001 on a transect across Yellow Sea Cold Bottom Waters (YSCBW) and two additional transects nearby. The distribution of C. sinicus adults and copepodites stage CV appeared to be well correlated with water temperature. They tended to concentrate in the YSCBW (>10,000 ind. m(-2)) to avoid high surface temperature. Gut pigment contents varied from 0.44 to 2.53 ng chlorophyll a equivalents (chl a equiv.) ind.(-1) for adults, and from 0.24 to 2.24 ng chl a equiv. ind.(-1) for CV copepodites. We found no relationship between gut pigment contents and the ambient chl a concentrations. Although the gut evacuation rate constants are consistent with those measured for other copepods, their low gut pigment contents meant an estimated daily herbivorous ingestion of <3% of body carbon in the YSCBW and <10% outside the YSCBW. However, based on estimates of clearance rates, C. sinicus feeds actively whether in the YSCBW or not, so the low ingestion rates probably reflect shortage of food. Oxygen consumption rates of C. sinicus ranged from 0.21 to 0.84 mul O-2 ind.(-1) h(-1), with high rates often associated with high temperature. From the oxygen consumption rates, daily loss of body carbon was estimated to be 4.0-13.7%, which exceeds our estimates of their carbon ingestion rates. C. sinicus was probably not in diapause, either within or outside the YSCBW, but this cold-water layer provides C. sinicus with a refuge to live through the hot, low-food summer.

Identification of factors affecting the growth and survival of the settling Japanese flounder larvae, Paralichthys olivaceus

A series of experiments were conducted to identify the factors that affected the growth and survival of the settling flounder larvae Paralichthys olivaceus. Settling larvae 24 days after hatching (DAH) were reared in 10-l experimental tanks up to 40 DAH, and two of the following factors were changed as controlled factors in each experiment: light regime (24L:0D or 12L:12D), prey density (1500, 3000, or 5000 Artemia l(-1)), shelter (sand or no sand) and stocking density (5, 10, or 15 fish l(-1)). Early settling larvae (24-35 DAH) experienced little mortality (less than 10% of the overall mortality) that was not significantly affected by above factors. In contrast, late settling larvae (36-40 DAH) suffered high cannibalistic mortality which was significantly influenced by each of the above factors. Larvae experienced significantly lower mortality at 10 fish l(-1) level than at other densities. Larvae at 15 fish l(-1) level had higher mortality than at 5 fish l(-1) when all other factors were identical. Larvae at 3000 and 5000 Artemia l(-1) treatments survived significantly better than at 1500 Artemia l(-1), but no significant differences in larval mortality were found between the two higher densities. Larvae suffered higher mortality at low prey density or at the absence of sand when they were exposed to longer photoperiod. Low stocking density significantly improved the growth of the settling larvae. The average daily instantaneous growth rate (G) at 5 and 15 fish l(-1) treatments were 0.050 and 0.034, with the coefficient of variation (CV) in final length at 16.4 and 23.5, respectively. Daily instantaneous growth rate increased significantly from 0.033 in the 1500 Artemia l(-1) to 0.041 and 0.045 in the 3000 and 5000 Artennia l(-1), respectively, but no significant difference in larval growth existed between the two higher prey densities. These findings suggested that the optimal prey density for growth and survival of the settling flounder larvae at a stocking density of 5 - 15 fish l(-1) was around 3000 Artemia l(-1) . Larvae that were exposed to 24L showed 20% increase in growth ( G = 0.046, CV = 18.7) than those exposed to 12L ( G = 0.037, CV = 20.5). Longer exposure to light significantly improved larval growth, provided sufficient food was available. Sand substrate did not show significant effects on larval growth, possibly because the larvae spent most of the time swimming or feeding in the water column during this stage.

Effects of delayed first feeding on growth and survival of rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus larvae

The effects of the timing of first feeding (0, 1 and 2 days after yolk exhaustion) and starvation on the point-of-no-return (PNR), survival and growth of laboratory-reared rock bream larvae were studied under controlled conditions. Larvae began to feed exogenously at 3 days after hatching (dah) and reached PNR on 54 h after yolk exhaustion at 22 +/- 1.5 degrees C. Larvae growth was significantly affected by the time of first exogenous feeding. The growth of 0 day delayed first feeding larvae was obviously faster than those of the other delayed first feeding larvae (P<0.05) whether at 7 dab (SL=3.40 mm, SGR=5.7, CV=4.0) or at 15 dah (SL=4.85 mm, SGR=6.1, CV=8.2) with a more uniform size distribution. Survival of 0 day delayed first feeding larvae and I day delayed first feeding larvae was 13% and 8% at the end of experiment, respectively, while no larvae survived up to 7 dah for 2 days delayed first feeding larvae and unfed larvae. Food resulted in a progressive deterioration of the larval digestive system and atrophy of skeletal muscle fibre. The ratios of head length to SL (standard length), body height to SL and eye diameter to SL were the most sensitive morphometric indices to detect the effects of fasting on larval condition. Present results showed that the combination of morphological and morphometric variables could be used to evaluate the nutritional condition of rock bream larvae. In order to avoid the potential mortality and gain better development, survival and growth in industrial production, the rock bream larvae must establish successful first feeding within 2 days after yolk exhaustion.

Seasonal and spatial variation in abundance and egg production of Paracalanus parvus (Copepoda: Calanoida) in/out Jiaozhou Bay, China

The spatial distribution of stage-specific abundance and reproduction of the copepod Paracalanus parvus were studied from October 2005 to September 2006 in the Jiaozhou Bay. This copepod occurred continuously in this bay throughout the year. The species reached the lowest abundance in April and peaked in June. From October to December, distribution center mainly occurred in offshore water and at the mouth of the bay. In winter, early copepodites and adults gradually decreased and till February, most of the population was only comprised of CIV-CV stages. Overwintering copepodites matured in March and males tended to mature before female. From May to September, each stage occurred in the population and gradually reached high abundance. Temperature and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentration in the three stations can't clearly explain the seasonal variation in stage-specific abundance, so we surmised the important effect of the Yellow Sea. Egg production rate (EPR) reached its lowest in winter and peaked in June at 60.8 eggs female(-1) day(-1) in nearshore water. In the warming period, EPR in nearshore water was statistically higher and EPR > 10 eggs female(-1) day(-1) lasted longer than that in offshore water, showing the importance of nearshore water for recruitment of R parvus. Our study showed that EPR was positively related to temperature and total chlorophyll a in offshore water and mouth of the bay. In nearshore water, the relationships between EPR and temperature and Chl-a in three size fractions were not the same as those in offshore water, suggesting complicated ecosystem in such a eutrophic area in warming period.

青藏高原高寒草甸生态系统稳定性研究

青藏高原生态系统对全球气候变化较为敏感，系统的行为能更早地预兆全球变化，进而影响到邻近地区乃至全球气候．因此，青藏高原生态系统的行为研究具有特殊重要性．利用中国科学院海北高寒草甸生态系统定位站多年来积累观测的长时间序列数据，运用生态系统稳定性直接分析方法，定量分析高寒草甸生态系统的稳定性及其对环境变化的灵敏度．结果表明，高寒草甸生态系统的主要气候因子如年降水、年均气温都比较稳定（CV值分别为16．55％和28．82％），而年度地上净初级生产量较降水和气温更为稳定（CV值为13．18％）．净初级生产量关于降水和气温的灵敏度或弹性分别为E=0．0782和0．1113，即净初级生产量对降水和气温的波动均不敏感，也说明高寒草甸生态系统具有较高的稳定性．通过高寒草甸生态系统与世界其他地区5个草地生态系统的稳定性度量值横向比较，也显示出该系统的稳定性程度较高．结构相对比较简单的高寒草甸生态系统有较高的稳定性，说明群落稳定性虽然与物种多样性和群落复杂性有关，但未必成正比关系．还有其他一些因素与生态系统稳定性密切相关，如生物群落的外部环境稳定程度等．高寒草甸生态系统的主要气候因子（年降水和年均气温）以34年的主周期随机低频振荡，在其作用下生态系统的行为呈现同主周期、振幅比较稳定的随机波动．高寒草甸生态系统的较高稳定性，是较稳定的环境和系统适应环境的进化演替结果．

Pre-column derivatization of amines with 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-isopropyl chloroformate followed by LC-fluorescence and LC-APCI-MS

A pre-column derivatization method for the sensitive determination of amines using the labeling reagent 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-isopropyl chloroformate (BCIC-Cl) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection has been developed. Identification of derivatives is carried out by high performance liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LC-APCl-MS-MS). The chromophore of 2-(9-carbazole)-ethyl chloroformate (CEOC) reagent is replaced by 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-isopropyl functional group, which results in a sensitive fluorescence derivatizing reagent BCIC-Cl. BCIC-Cl can easily and quickly label amines. Derivatives are stable enough to be efficiently analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and show an intense protonated molecular ion corresponding m/z [MH](+) under APCl in positive-ion mode. The collision-induced dissociation of protonated molecular ion formed a product at m/z 260 corresponding to the cleavage of CH2-OCO bond. Studies on derivatization demonstrate excellent derivative yields over the pH 9.0-10.0. Maximal yields close to 100% are observed with a 3 to 4-fold molar reagent excess. In addition, the detection responses for BCIC derivatives are compared with those obtained using CEOC and FMOC as derivatization reagents. The ratios of l(BCIC)/l(CEOC) and l(BCIC)/l(FMOC) are, respectively, 1.23-3.14 and 1.25-3.08 for fluorescent (FL) responses (here, l is relative fluorescence intensity). Separation of the derivatized amines had been optimized on reversed-phase Eclipse XDB-C-8 column. Detection limits are calculated from 1.0 pmol injection, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, are 10.6-37.8 fmol. The mean interday accuracy ranges from 94 to 105% for fluorescence detection with the largest mean %CV < 7.5. The mean interday precision for all standards is < 6.0% of the expected concentration. Excellent linear responses are observed with coefficients of > 0.9997.

Stability of alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

The meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is considered to be sensitive to climate change. An understanding of the alpine meadow ecosystem is therefore important for predicting the response of ecosystems to climate change. In this study, we use the coefficients of variation (Cv) and stability (E) obtained from the Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station to characterize the ecosystem stability. The results suggest that the net primary production of the alpine meadow ecosystem was more stable (Cv = 13.18%) than annual precipitation (Cv = 16.55%) and annual mean air temperature (Cv= 28.82%). The net primary production was insensitive to either the precipitation (E = 0.0782) or air temperature (E = 0.1113). In summary, the alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is much stable. Comparison of alpine meadow ecosystem stability with other five natural grassland ecosystems in Israel and southern African indicates that the alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is the most stable ecosystem. The alpine meadow ecosystem with relatively simple structure has high stability, which indicates that community stability is not only correlated with biodiversity and community complicity but also with environmental stability. An average oscillation cycles of 3-4 years existed in annual precipitation, annual mean air temperature, net primary production and the population size of consumers at the Haibei natural ecosystem. The high stability of the alpine meadow ecosystem may be resulting also from the adaptation of the ecosystem to the alpine environment.

Development of a sensitive fluorescent derivatization reagent 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl chloroformate (BCEOC) and its application for determination of amino acids from seeds and bryophyte plants using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and identification with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

A pre-column derivatization method for the sensitive determination of amino acids and peptides using the tagging reagent 1,2-benzo-3,4dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl chloroformate (BCEOC) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection has been developed. Identification of derivatives was carried out by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS). The chromophore of 2-(9-carbazole)-ethyl chloroformate (CEOC) reagent was replaced by 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole functional group, which resulted in a sensitive fluorescence derivatizing reagent BCEOC. BCEOC can easily and quickly label peptides and amino acids. Derivatives are stable enough to be efficiently analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. The derivatives showed an intense protonated molecular ion corresponding m/z (M + H)(+) under electrospray ionization (ESI) positive-ion mode with an exception being Tyr detected at negative mode. The collision-induced dissociation of protonated molecular ion formed a product at m/z 246.2 corresponding to the cleavage of C-O bond of BCEOC molecule. Studies on derivatization demonstrate excellent derivative yields over the pH 9.0-10.0. Maximal yields close to 100% are observed with a 3-4-fold molar reagent excess. Derivatives exhibit strong fluorescence and extracted detzvatization solution with n-hexane/ethyl acetate (10:1, v/v) allows for the direct injection with no significant interference from the major fluorescent reagent degradation by-products, such as 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethanol (BDC-OH) (a major by-product), mono- 1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl carbonate (BCEOC-OH) and bis-(1,2-benzo-3,4-dihydrocarbazole-9-ethyl) carbonate (BCEOC)(2). In addition, the detection responses for BCEOC derivatives are compared to those obtained with previously synthesized 2-(9-carbazole)-ethyl chloroformate (CEOC) in our laboratory. The ratios AC(BCEOC)/AC(CEOC) = 2.05-6.51 for fluorescence responses are observed (here, AC is relative fluorescence response). Separation of the derivatized peptides and amino acids had been optimized on Hypersil BDS C-18 column. Detection limits were calculated from 1.0 pmol injection at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3, and were 6.3 (Lys)-177.6 (His) fmol. The mean interday accuracy ranged from 92 to 106% for fluorescence detection with mean %CV < 7.5. The mean interday precision for all standards was < 10% of the expected concentration. Excellent linear responses were observed with coefficients of > 0.9999. Good compositional data could be obtained from the analysis of derivatized protein hydrolysates containing as little as 50.5 ng of sample. Therefore, the facile BCEOC derivatization coupled with mass spectrometry allowed the development of a highly sensitive and specific method for the quantitative analysis of trace levels of amino acids and peptides from biological and natural environmental samples.

本研究根据贵阳市区域内不同土地利用方式，选择了自然土壤、农业土壤和城市土壤为主要研究对象。对表层土壤实行多样点的统计分析、以及典型剖面有机碳迁移过程分析，同时结合同位素地球化学示踪原理，探讨了贵阳市区域内土地利用方式变化对土壤有机碳的影响，以及不同土地利用方式间土壤有机碳的来源和降解过程的差异。主要结论如下： (1) 自然土壤转化为农业土壤后，表层(0～10cm) SOC有较为明显的降低趋势。其中，相对于自然土壤(黄壤) 表层SOC(平均值)而言，玉米地、水田、果园下降了40%左右，菜地下降了15%左右。然而，不同菜地土壤间耕种强度存在较大差异，其SOC变异程度高于其它几类农业土壤(CV＝57.07%)。与之相反，农业土壤表层DOC(18.86～48.20mg•L-1)接近或超过自然土壤(10.74～36.30 mg•L-1)，且ƒDOC占SOC的比例明显大于自然土壤。其中，玉米地DOC最高(平均值：48.20mg•L-1)，菜地次之(平均值：30.00mg•L-1)，果园第三(平均值：29.87mg•L-1)，水田最低(平均值：18.86mg•L-1)，但水田由于干湿交替的影响，DOC的变异程度最大(CV＝128.57%)。据此推断，在相同气候条件下，自然土壤转化为农业土壤后，由于表层DOC数量和比例的增加，提高了SOC的迁移性，进而加速了碳素在土壤中的迁移转化进程。 (2) 自然土壤转化为农业土壤后，剖面内部(>10cm)多数层次SOC相对于黄壤和黄色石灰土有明显的增加趋势。且通过对不同类型农业土壤人为干扰强度的调查表明：人为干扰强度越强，剖面中一定深度内SOC增加幅度越大。即：离城市较近的菜地2增长最为突出，果园其次，水田和玉米地相当。离城市较远的菜地1由于受人为干扰层次较浅，且出现了犁底层，剖面内SOC的含量水平与黄色石灰土相当。 (3) 原始土壤经搬运重组后形成城市公路绿化带土壤，表层SOC和DOC变幅较宽、离散程度较大，且没有随时间或植被类型等因素的变化而呈现明显的变化趋势。其中，SOC变异程度依次为新成公路绿化带2(CV＝58.0％)、老成公路绿化带(CV＝55.5％)、新成公路绿化带1(CV＝34.1％)。DOC变异程度依次为新成公路绿化带1(CV＝93.8％)、新成公路绿化带2(CV＝85.7％)、老成公路绿化带(CV＝78.0％)。 (4) 在自然土壤、农业土壤和城市绿化带土壤表层中，DOC与SOC、N、C/N、NO3-、NH4-，以及粘粒含量等的相关性均未达到显著水平。另据方差分析显示：果园、水田、菜地和玉米地表层土壤间DOC、SOC含量均无显著差异，说明农业土壤利用方式不是决定土壤表层SOC和DOC含量的绝对因素；新成公路绿化带1，2和老成公路绿化带表层土壤间DOC、SOC含量均无显著差异，说明植被类别和形成时间不是决定土壤表层SOC和DOC含量的绝对因素。 (5) 自然土壤中，枯枝落叶转化为表层(0～5cm)土壤有机质后，δ13CSOC值升高了1~4‰。通过不同碳源间δ13Corg相互关系的判断，在具备枯枝落叶覆盖的表层土壤中，DOC主要来源于枯枝落叶；而在土壤剖面内，随土壤剖面深度的增加，来自于土壤腐殖类物质的DOC占土壤DOC总量的比例呈增加趋势。在黄壤和黄色石灰土中(>5cm土层)，土壤剖面中大多数层次DOC比SOC更富13C。 (6) 大多数农业土壤有机碳δ13C值显示其有机肥源中存在C4-C源。且农业土壤中受碳源多样性的影响，菜地、果园、水田和玉米地表层土壤中δ13CSOC与δ13CDOC的相关性均未达到显著水平。其次，除玉米地土壤剖面外，其它供试农业土壤剖面大多数层次δ13CDOC值比δ13CSOC偏负，说明菜地、果园、水田土壤DOC主要为外源的加入。 (7) C3植被转化为C4植被(林-农生态系统转化)后，玉米地剖面中SOC有2.55％～20.80％源于C4-C，随剖面层次的加深有降低趋势，但表现为“之”字形反复；DOC中C4-C的比例在剖面0～40cm处较为相近(25.94％～34.54％)，40cm以下则急剧下降(3.18％～15.65％)。说明玉米地剖面 DOC主要来源于土壤腐殖类物质的转化。与林-农生态系统转变过程中的变化趋势相反，洼地农业土壤退耕弃荒一段时间(林-农-林生态系统转化)后，土壤剖面内C4-C占SOC的比例随土壤层次的加深逐渐增加，变化范围在5.77～26.76％。 (8) 在C3植被转向C4植被(林-农生态系统转化)后，玉米地δ13CSOC值与C4-C、C3-C相关系数(r)分别为0.372和-0.102，δ13CDOC值与C4-C、C3-C相关系数分别为0.131和-0.339，其相关性均未达到显著水平。而再从C4植被转回C3植被后，土壤δ13CSOC与C3-C之间呈显著相关性（r=0.88，n＝7），说明退耕弃荒后新加入的C3-C对土壤δ13CSOC值影响较大。其SOC的主要来源于洼地周边坡面土壤的侵蚀堆积物和新生草本植被残体。结合当前SOC降解过程的研究成果，本研究认为：洼地土壤退耕弃荒后一段时间里，土壤SOC可能处于累积大于损失状态。这有利于土壤性状向良性方向发展。 (9) 根据同位素值的相互关系和有机碳的来源调查，判断公路绿化带土壤中C4-C为原始土壤所带来。大气颗粒物和雨水中的DOC是表层土壤DOC的主要来源。公路绿化带土壤剖面中，随着时间的增加，土壤腐殖类物质与DOC的相互转化逐渐加强。 上述结论可为人类认识城市区域(特别是有强烈酸性沉降历史的喀斯特城市区域)土地利用方式改变对土壤碳循环的影响，以及不同土地利用方式间土壤有机碳迁移转化过程提供科学依据，也可为正确评估城市区域土壤与其他圈层间碳循环的源、汇关系提供基础资料。

Enhanced anthocyanin production by repeated-batch culture of strawberry cells with medium shift

Repeated-batch cultures of strawberry cells (Fragaria ananassa cv. Shikinari) subjected to four medium-shift procedures (constant LS medium, constant B5 medium, alternation between LS and B5 starting from LS and alternation between LS and B5 starting from B5) were investigated for the enhanced anthocyanin productivity. To determine the optimum period for repeated batch cultures, two medium-shift periods of 9 and 14 days were studied, which represent the end of the exponential growth phase and the stationary phase. By comparison with the corresponding batch cultures, higher anthocyanin productivity was achieved for all the repeated-batch cultures at a 9-day medium-shift period. The average anthocyanin productivity was enhanced 1.7-and 1.76-fold by repeated-batch cultures in constant LS and constant B5 medium at a 9-day shift period for 45 days, respectively. No further improvement was observed when the medium was alternated between LS (the growth medium) and B5 (the production medium). Anthocyanin production was unstable at a 14-day shift period regardless of the medium-shift procedures. The results show that it is feasible to improve anthocyanin production by a repeated-batch culture of strawberry cells.
