以土壤水分为参变量的根冠系统模拟调控模型

针对以往在建造各类作物生长模拟模型中,对构成作物整体功能的根、冠关系这一系统未予(充分)考虑的现状,在整体、器官水平上,探讨、分析了根、冠之间相互关系,归纳了根、冠系统各种特性,并构建了以土壤水分作为调控因子的根、冠互相藕合机制模型。模型辨识及两年冬小麦试验数据验证结果表明,该模型具有较强普适性和较高模拟预测精度,不仅能模拟预测出不同土壤水分条件下根、冠干物重,研究根、冠间互利互制消长反馈关系,而且还可根据不同生产目标规划灌溉方案。

Process of building collapse caused by the Po Shan Road landslide in Hong Kong on 18 June 1972

Landslides - Urban areas in Hong Kong are often developed on hillside due to the lack of land resources. The densely distributed buildings located on the hillslope are thus threatened by landslide...     

Atmospheric wet and dry deposition of dissolved inorganic nitrogen to the South China Sea

At the global scale,atmospheric inputs of nitrogen are an important source of the new nitrogen that supports new marine production,especially in oligotrophic open oceans and marginal seas.This study reports quantities of atmospheric deposition of dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) to the largest marginal sea in the North Pacific(the oligotrophic South China Sea,SCS) based primarily on rainwater sampling in the open northwestern region(Yongxing Island) from 2013 to 2015,and aerosol sampling from the SCS basin in June 2017.Atmospheric wet and dry deposition of DIN and their potential contributions to productivity were estimated.The volume-weighted mean rainwater concentrations during the wet and dry seasons were 4.9 and 18.1 μmol L~(-1) for N+N(NO_3~-+NO_2~-),and 5.7 and 4.0μmol L~(-1) for NH_4~+,respectively.Rainwater concentrations of DIN were lower in the marginal seas than in the open ocean.The aerosol NO_3~-concentration was 1.15±1.18 μg m~(-3) during the wet season,which is slightly lower than reported for the East China Sea and East Sea,but higher than in the Arabian Sea.Monthly wet and dry deposition rates ranged from 0.4-3.9 and 0.4-1.2 mmol m~(-2) mon~(-1) for NO_3~-,and 0.2-1.3 and 0.01-0.02 mmol m~(-2) mon~(-1) for NH_4~+,respectively.The annual wet and dry deposition fluxes of DIN were estimated to be 16.8 and 10.1 mmol m~(-2)yr~(-1),respectively.Compared to other marginal seas,the SCS receives less atmospheric NO_3~-inputs than the Yellow Sea,East China Sea,East Sea,and northeastern Mediterranean Sea.The total atmospheric DIN deposition may account for 1.8-11.1% of the nitrogen supporting new production and 0.7-1.8% of the nitrogen supporting primary production.

A Study of the Star-forming Dwarf Galaxy NGC 855 with Spitzer

We present a study of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 855 using the narrow-band Hα and Spitzer data. Both the Hα and Spitzer IRAC images confirm star-forming activity in the center of NGC 855. We obtained a star formation rate (SFR) of 0.022 and 0.025M◎yr-1,respectively,from the Spitzer IRAC 8.0μm and MIPS 24μm emission data. The HI observa-tion suggests that the star-forming activity might be triggered by a minor merger. We also find that there is a distinct IR emission region in 5.8 and 8.0μm bands,located at about 10 away from the nucleus of NGC 855. Given the strong 8.0μm but faint Hα emission,we expect that it is a heavily obscured star-forming region,which needs to be confirmed by further optical spectroscopic observations.
