Effect of strong magnetic field on chemical potential and electron capture in magnetar

The chemical potential of electrons in a strong magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic field has only a slight effect on electron chemical potential when B<10¹¹ T, but electron chemical potential will decrease greatly when B>10¹¹ T. The effects of a strong magnetic field on electron capture rates for ⁶⁰Fe are discussed, and the result shows that the electron capture sharply decreases because of the strong magnetic field.     

Improvement of photorefractive properties in Hf:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios

Photorefractive properties of Hf:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios have been investigated at 488 nm wavelength based on the two-wave coupling experiment. High diffraction efficiency and large recording sensitivity are observed and explained. The decrease in Li vacancies is suggested to be the main contributor to the increase in the photoconductivity and subsequently to the induction of the improvement of recording sensitivity. The saturation diffraction efficiency is measured up to 80.2%, and simultaneously the recording sensitivity of 0.91 cm/J is achieved to in the Hf:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal grown from the melt with the [Li]/[Nb] ratio of 1.20, which is significantly enhanced as compared with those of the Hf:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal with the [Li]/[Nb] ratio of 0.94 in melt under the same experimental conditions. Experimental results definitely show that increasing the [Li]/[Nb] ratio in crystal is an effective method for Hf:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal to improve its photorefractive properties.     

牙鲆同质雌核发育二倍体的诱导及其早期生长研究

人工诱导雌核发育是水产动物性别控制的重要技术手段之一,同时也是快速建立近交系或纯系、建立遗传作图群体的方法之一。采用静水压力抑制受精卵第一次卵裂的方法诱导了牙鲆同质雌核发育二倍体。不同的处理起始时刻、不同压力及压力持续的时间对受精卵的发育及染色体加倍率有较大影响。处理组受精卵发育相对缓慢,畸形率较高,正常仔鱼孵化率较低。如果处理前受精卵保持在(15.5±0.5)℃,压力处理受精卵的最佳条件是:从受精后75 min开始、用55 MPa的压力处理6 min,该条件下处理组正常仔鱼孵化率较高,为13.7%,染色体观察和最大核仁数计数结果表明,此时的二倍体诱导率也最高。染色体观察结果还显示在不同处理组中存在不同比例的非整倍体。利用获得的最佳诱导条件处理获得了数千尾雌核发育幼鱼,观察表明,雌核发二倍体鱼的生长速度明显低于普通二倍体,且个体间差异较大。该研究为进一步开展牙鲆全雌育种和连锁图谱的构建提供技术支撑。

基于内蒙古磴口荒漠生态系统国家定位观测研究站监测数据,分析2014年1—12月不同土层的地温数据及同期气象数据,进而阐明乌兰布和沙漠东北缘地温变化特征。结果表明：（1）乌兰布和沙漠地温及气温具有显著的日变化特征,气温最高值与最低值出现时刻相对巴丹吉林沙漠提前2 h,相对东部地区滞后1 h;地温与气温季节变化特征一致,各季节地温最值出现时刻相对气温滞后1 h;（2）地温变化速率随着土壤深度的增加而减小,在土壤深度达到70 cm以后,地温全年在0℃以上;低于0℃的5 cm地温持续时间约为4个月;（3）地温与空气温度、太阳辐射变化趋势一致,地温相对太阳辐射及气温明显滞后。相关分析与逐步回归表明,对地温变化起决定作用的环境因子为空气温度、蒸发量、太阳总辐射、风速、空气相对湿度、降水。     

不同植被盖度沙质草地生长季土壤水分动态

水分是干旱半干旱沙地生态系统最大的限制因子,研究植被盖度和土壤水分之间的关系有助于沙地生态恢复和保护。基于生长季科尔沁沙质草地不同植被盖度下土壤水分动态和降水的观测试验,分析了沙质草地植被盖度和土壤水分的耦合关系。结果表明：在土壤剖面上土壤水分存在明显的分层结构,依次为水分剧变层（0~40 cm）、缓变层（40~100 cm）和稳定层（100~180 cm）;植被盖度对土壤水分有很大影响,不同植被盖度下土壤含水量存在显著差异,土壤水分与盖度之间呈倒“V”型关系,土壤水分状况在28%的盖度下最优;不同的植被盖度下土壤水分对降水的响应也存在差异,在13%盖度下响应最敏感,28%和46%的盖度下响应微弱,后二者的土壤水分也相对稳定。在沙地生态恢复建设过程中合理的植被盖度配置可提高降水利用效率,并能使土壤水分和植被达到一种良好的平衡状态,从而有利于生态系统的稳定。     

徐闻南山镇红树林沉积物及红树植物中重金属的累积特征与迁移规律

为探究重金属在红树林沉积物及红树植物中的分布累积及迁移规律,选取了徐闻南山镇红树林为研究对象,通过测定红树林沉积物及红树植物不同部位（根、茎、叶）的重金属质量分数,运用富集因子、生物富集系数、转移系数及相关性分析等方法进行分析。结果表明：1）红树林沉积物重金属质量分数表现为铬（Cr）＞锌（Zn）＞镍（Ni）＞铜（Cu）＞铅（Pb）＞砷（As）＞汞（Hg）＞镉（Cd）,为中等变异程度;除了镍（Ni）元素外,其余7种重金属未超过国家一级标准,除了铅（Pb）元素外,其余7种重金属均超过广东省土壤环境背景值,说明研究区沉积物中重金属具有一定的积累效应。2）沉积物中砷（As）、铜（Cu）、锌（Zn）、汞（Hg）、镍（Ni）、铬（Cr）富集因子值均＞1.5,说明受到轻微人为活动影响;各站位镍（Ni）富集因子值均＞5,结合研究区背景,反映了镍（Ni）受到自然和人为输入的共同影响。3）白骨壤体内重金属主要集中在根部,而红海榄体内重金属在根茎叶中分布相对均匀。白骨壤根茎叶部位的大多数重金属质量分数远高于红海榄,说明白骨壤对重金属的吸附能力比红海榄强。汞（Hg）集中分布在植物的叶片部位,且与其他重金属之间相关性不明显;推测汞（Hg）主要通过叶片吸收进入植物体内,与交通运输污染有关。4）不同红树植物对不同重金属富集能力各异,白骨壤对重金属的富集能力表现为：镉（Cd）＞砷（As）＞铜（Cu）＞锌（Zn）＞汞（Hg）＞铅（Pb）＞镍（Ni）＞铬（Cr）,红海榄表现为：镉（Cd）＞铜（Cu）＞汞（Hg）＞锌（Zn）＞铅（Pb）＞砷（As）＞镍（Ni）＞铬（Cr）。白骨壤和红海榄对汞（Hg）的运移能力都较强;红海榄对镉（Cd）的富集能力和转运能力都较强,而白骨壤对镉（Cd）富集能力较强,转运能力却较弱,这说明红树植物对重金属元素的富集能力与转运能力不存在正比关系。

Ecophysiological characteristics of invasive Spartina alterniflora and native species in salt marshes of Yangtze River estuary,China

Biological invasions represent one of the significant components of global change. A comparative study of invaders and co-occurring natives is a useful approach to gaining insights into the invasiveness of exotic plants. Spartina alterniflora, a C₄ grass, is a widespread invader in the coastal wetlands in China and other regions of the world. We conducted a comparative study of S. alterniflora and native C₃ species, Phragmites australis and Scirpus mariqueter, in terms of their gas exchange and efficiencies in resource utilization. We tested the hypothesis that S. alterniflora has growth-related ecophysiological advantages over the natives in its non-native range, which result in its rapid growth and enhance its invasiveness. Photosynthesis, leaf area index (LAI), specific leaf area (SLA), and the efficiency of resource use (light, water, and nitrogen) were examined monthly for eight months in 2004. Overall, S. alterniflora had greater LAI, higher maximal net photosynthetic rate (A_max), and longer growing season than those of the native species. On average, the efficiencies of S. alterniflora in light, water, and nitrogen utilization were respectively 10.1%, 26.1%, and 33.1% higher than those of P. australis, and respectively 70.3%, 53.5%, 28.3% higher than those of S. mariqueter. However, SLA of S. alterniflora was significantly lower than those of P. australis and S. mariqueter. Although there was no general pattern in the relationship between invasiveness and plant photosynthetic types, in this study, most of the ecophysiological characteristics that gave S. alterniflora a competitive advantage in the Yangtze River estuary were associated with photosynthetic pathways. Our results offer a greater understanding of the relationship between invasiveness and plant photosynthetic type. Our results also indicate that LAI and the length of the photosynthetic season, which vary with habitats, are also important in invasion success.
