Rootzone amendments to improve soil moisture relations under newly-laid sod

Three experiments were conducted on the use of water retaining amendments under newly-laid turf mats. The work focused on the first 12 weeks of establishment. In soils that already possessed a good water-holding capacity, water retaining amendments did not provide any benefit. On a sand-based profile, a rooting depth of 200 mm was achieved with soil amendment products within three weeks of laying turf. Most products differed in their performance relative to each other at each three weekly measurement interval. Polyacrylamide gels gave superior results when the crystals were incorporated into the soil profile. They were not suitable for broadcasting at the soil/sod interface. Finer grades of crystals were less likely to be subject to excessive expansion than medium grade crystals after heavy rainfall. Turf establishment was more responsive to products at higher application rates, however these higher rates may result in surface stability problems.

Hg~(2+)、Cd~(2+)及其联合胁迫对伊乐藻的生长及POD和SOD活性的影响

利用水族箱实验研究了伊乐藻的现存量以及POD和SOD活性在Hg2+、Cd2+及其联合胁迫下的响应特点.结果表明:Hg2+和Cd2+对伊乐藻的联合毒性大于单一的毒性;在Hg2+20μmol.L-1,或Cd2+80μmol.L-1,或Hg2++Cd2+50μmol.L-1([Hg2+]/[Cd2+]=1/4)时,植物现存量增加的百分比与金属离子浓度负相关;高于上述浓度时,植物现存量减少的速率明显降低.POD和SOD活性的变化趋势相似,在6 h时,其活性在低于40μmol.L-1的Hg2+、或160μmol.L

饲料中硒元素对中华米虾SOD活性的影响

研究了饲料中添加不同剂量的硒元素对中华米虾体内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力的影响.实验表明,饲料中添加微量元素硒对中华米虾体内SOD的激活作用显著,并表现出明显的剂量效应.饲料中添加亚硒酸钠浓度应控制在一定范围内,若高于一定浓度,随着养殖时间的增长,虾体SOD的活性反而会降低.

不同pH缓冲液处理下蚕豆幼苗叶片SOD、POD和CAT活性的变化

利用不同pH值的酸碱溶液处理蚕豆或者离体蚕豆叶片,研究酸碱胁迫下蚕豆叶片保护酶活性的变化。结果表明,离体蚕豆叶片处理10 min和30 min的SOD活性相差不大,整株处理5 h的蚕豆叶片SOD活性远大于处理12 h的SOD活性;离体蚕豆叶片和整株蚕豆处理,较长时间处理下的CAT活性基本上高于短时间处理的CAT活性,短时间处理下(10 min、5 h)POD活性均显著低于对照值,较长时间处理(30 min、12h)下POD活性变化的规律性不强,且变化幅度较小。
