浙江桂凋落物中可溶性有机物对铜离子络合能力研究

采用单配位体模型对不同分解阶段浙江桂凋落物中溶解性有机物(DOM)与铜离子的络合进行了研究.结果表明,DOM中存在络合条件稳定常数较高但络合容量较小和络合条件稳定常数较低但络合容量较大的2种组分.各阶段条件稳定常数(K)和络合容量(L)各不相同,各阶段中lgK与L存在着显著的负相关性(r=0.88,P<0.05);各组分对铜离子的络合能力排列顺序为:Ⅱa>Ⅰa>Ⅰb>Ⅲa>Ⅱb>Ⅲb,半分解阶段中凋落物所释放的DOM对铜离子的络合条件稳定常数最大.这可能与其在分解不同阶段所释放物质不同有关.     

草原凋落物的分解及营养元素的释放和累积

草原凋落物的分解是草原生态系统物质循环的主要环节, 其中植物营养元素的释放和累积对退化草场恢复的进程和质量有着重要意义。本文从凋落物自身的性质、外部环境因素(生物及非生物因子)、混合效应等对凋落物分解速率的影响以及凋落物分解时植物营养元素的释放和累积两个方面论述了国内外对草原凋落物的分解及营养元素的生物地球化学行为的研究现状。一般情况下, 草原凋落物分解速率与凋落物自身的N、P、K等元素含量正相关, 与C/N、C/P、木质素、纤维素等的比值或含量值负相关, 而与周围环境中营养元素的组成及含量的关系不大。混合凋落物中不同种类凋落物的N、P含量及物种丰富度影响着非加性效应作用的效果。在凋落物分解过程中, 总体趋势表现为分解初级阶段对N的积累, 对P 和K的释放, 而对Na、Ca、Mg等营养元素来说, 随物种和根茎叶等部位的不同规律也不一样。凋落物中各元素的含量、凋落物分解阶段、物种类型、非加性效应、土壤环境等都是影响其营养元素释放和累积的因素。据此, 本文展望了草原凋落物未来可能的研究方向, 指出多因子的交互作用对草原凋落物分解的影响、凋落物混合分解机制探究、某些大量及微量营养元素的释放和累积可能是未来需要研究的重点。     

杉木与楠木凋落叶混合分解及其P、K动态

将杉木、楠木凋落叶及以二者不同比例混合的凋落叶置于果园林内进行分解和P、K动态的研究,结果表明：杉木和楠木凋落叶混合处理的分解速率均大于单独分解的纯杉木和纯楠木凋落叶.各凋落叶分解过程中,P浓度略有增加,而K浓度基本呈下降趋势.纯杉木凋落叶分解过程中P、K残留率均比纯楠木叶的低.杉楠混合分解的P、K释放率基本上大于单独的纯楠木叶.杉木与楠木凋落叶混合分解对其P和K的释放有一定的促进作用.     

科尔沁沙地优势植物叶凋落物分解及碳矿化——凋落物质量的影响北大核心CSCD

凋落物矿化分解是维持生态系统养分循环的关键过程,也是陆地生态系统C向大气释放的主要动力,因此影响和控制生态系统凋落物矿化分解的主要因素一直备受关注。土地沙漠化是科尔沁沙地最严重的环境问题,并且导致土壤粗质化和贫瘠化,凋落物输入和矿化分解对于改善该地区土壤质地和养分状况至关重要。通过室内培养的方法,对科尔沁沙质草地27种主要植物叶凋落物矿化分解及其与凋落物C含量、N含量、木质素含量、C/N、木质素/N、极易分解有机物含量(LOMⅠ)、中易分解有机物含量(LOMⅡ)及难分解有机物含量(RP)等指标关系进行研究。结果表明:科尔沁沙地27种植物叶凋落物质量存在较大差异(P<0.001),相应的27种植物叶凋落物培养样品矿化有机碳总量和干物质损失量存在显著差异(P<0.001),分别在9.0mg C·g^(-1)干土至12.7mg C·g^(-1)干土和14.7%至40.4%之间变化。添加凋落物后培养样品的CO2释放总量显著大于对照(不添加凋落物),说明土壤中添加凋落物后,培养样品的有机碳矿化速率明显增大。27种植物叶凋落物矿化有机碳总量以及损失干物质总量与凋落物的N含量、C/N、木质素/N、LOMⅠ、LOMⅡ和RP等指标存在显著的相关性,叶凋落物的矿化分解主要受LOMⅠ和木质素/N的影响。

中国森林凋落物分解速率影响因素分析

本研究通过收集国内已发表的文献中具有凋落物分解常数的数据,采用SPSS13.0软件综合分析中国森林凋落物分解速率的影响因素.结果发现:凋落物类型对凋落物分解速率有显著影响(P0.05),凋落叶氮含量与分解速率呈极显著正相关(P0.01).在同一样地的研究中,混合分解的凋落叶分解常数极显著高于单独分解的(P0.01).叶习性对凋落叶分解速率没有显著影响(P0.05),但在中国的温带地区则有显著影响(P0.05).在全国尺度上树种组成对凋落物分解速率没有显著影响(P0.05).凋落叶分解速率与经度、年均温和降水量成极显著正相关(P0.01),与纬度和海拔成极显著负相关(P0.01).凋落叶分解速率的Q10值为1.768.网袋孔径与土壤类型对凋落叶分解速率亦均有极显著影响(P0.01).     

鼎湖山木荷(Schima Superba)粗死木质残体的分解研究

以鼎湖山国家自然保护区季风常绿阔叶林优势种之一木荷的粗死木质残体为研究对象,采用目前国际较认可的腐解等级划分方法,对木荷粗死木质残体3个腐解等级(Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ)的密度及养分含量进行测定分析.结果表明:①木荷粗死木质残体的密度随腐解等级的增加从0.58 g/cm3下降到0.16 g/cm3,分解速率常数K值为0.144 7/a,在自然状态下,木荷粗死木质残体分解95%所需时间约为21 a;②粗死木质残体C/N比值随分解的进行先降后升而N/P则相反;③K、Ca、Na、Mg离子浓度随腐解等级的增加出现不同程度的增加,但增幅不明显.研究结果旨在为系统评估粗死木质残体的分解行为在生态系统养分循环中的作用提供基础数据.     

不同劈草时间毛竹林生产力及土壤变化特征

2008-09在福建洋口国有林场,应用野外取样调查及实验室分析相结合的方法对未劈草(Ⅰ)、劈草10 a(Ⅱ)和劈草30 a(Ⅲ)的毛竹林生产力及土壤变化特征进行研究.结果表明:劈草可以显著提高毛竹林的生产力,但是随着劈草时间的延长毛竹林增产效果降低.三种林分生产力排列顺序为Ⅱ＞Ⅲ＞Ⅰ,分别为44 199.57±395.40、43 508.04±346.12和35 691.31±394.68 kg/(hm2*a).劈草时间不同,不同器官的生产力分配也不同,地下部分生产力所占比例的排列顺序为Ⅱ＞Ⅲ＞Ⅰ,分别为24.87%、24.72%和24.31%.劈草经营有降低毛竹林地上部分生产力,增加地下部分生产力的趋势.土壤综合性质随着劈草时间的延长呈降低趋势,三种林分平均得分的排列顺序为Ⅰ＞Ⅲ＞Ⅱ,分别为0.639 0、0.432 0和0.355 8.     

福建万木林自然保护区米槠和杉木凋落叶混合分解研究

应用网袋法对福建省万木林自然保护区米槠(Castanopsis carlesii)凋落叶、杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)凋落叶及其混合样品分解进行了为期2年的研究.结果表明:Olson指数衰减模型能够较好地模拟不同凋落叶的分解过程.杉木凋落叶的分解速率快于米槠凋落叶(前者的年分解常数为0.499 2,后者的为0.438 0),凋落叶自身的质量特性及林地土壤环境条件是影响凋落叶分解的主要因子.杉木和米槠凋落叶混合物在杉木林内的分解表现为促进作用(年分解常数为0.560 4),而在米槠林内则表现为抑制作用(年分解常数为0.410 4),表明群落性质的差异对凋落叶混合分解有明显的影响.

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
