中国南北方近岸海域中微塑料附生真核生物群落结构特征分析

海洋微塑料污染已经成为全球性环境问题。由于其粒径小,比表面积大,易被海洋生物附着形成生物膜。本研究应用Illumina MiSeq高通量测序技术分析了微塑料附生生物膜中的真核生物多样性及其与海域位置,暴露时间和塑料类型的相关性关系。通过对样品基因组的18S rRNA的V4区测序,共获得1 299条OTUs,涵盖了66门、126纲、196目、222科和294属的真核生物。生物多样性分析结果表明,微塑料附生生物膜中包含海洋浮游植物、真菌、原生动物、后生动物及脊椎动物等多种真核生物。海域位置、暴露时间是影响真核生物群落结构的主要因素,且随着暴露时间延长,附生的进化水平较高的真核生物所占比例升高。不同塑料类型对于真核生物的附着现象未表现出选择性。研究结果表明,微塑料可以成为海洋中真核生物的新型栖息地,微塑料附生真核生物多样性的研究有助于加深微塑料对于海洋环境可能造成的生态影响的认识。

南黄海和东海毛颚类生态特征的研究Ⅱ.群落特征

在对南黄海和东海毛颚类生态特征的研究数量分布特征后的续篇.重点探讨调查区毛颚类群落性质和群落结构的特征及与海区环境因子的相关性.结果表明,本区共记录毛颚类28种,种类季节变化不明显,周年共有种达64.3%;但群落优势种则有季节差异与区域差异.毛颚类群落多样性指数(H')和均匀度(J')年均值分别为1.68和0.64.H'的平面分布表现出外部海区大于近岸海区的分布格局.在群落中存在4个生态类群,其中近海暖温带类群和广盐暖水类群可分别指示黄海水、浙江沿岸流和东海陆架混合水在南黄海和东海这两个海区的相互推移和消长过程.此外,从不同侧面的计算分析也表明,影响群落特征值(H')的主要因子是温度和盐度.群落性质是以近岸暖温带低盐种和暖水广布种为主,近岸暖水种和大洋暖水种占一定比例的暖温带-亚热带群落结构的特点.     

Mapping the farming-pastoral ecotones in China

Conventional farming-pastoral ecotones methods of delineating were not quantitative and could not fully show their spatial distribution. The present paper attempts to develop quantitative methods for mapping farming-pastoral ecotones in China. Nine indicators, related to temperature, precipitation and altitude aspects, were selected to quantify ecological susceptibility of vegetation （crops and forage）. Methods of analytic hierarchy process （AHP） and expert score ranking combined with fuzzy set theory were applied to assign the weight for each indicator and to define the membership functions. The geographic information system （GIS） was used to manage the spatial database and conduct the spatial analysis. According to the spatial calculation of evaluation model integrated with GIS, the ecological susceptibility of vegetation （crops and forage） was mapped. Three different zones, pastoral area, farming-pastoral ecotones and farming area, were classified by spatial cluster analysis and the maximum likelihood classification for the numeric map of vegetation ecological susceptibility by GIS. This map was validated by the economic statistical result based on the ratio of the output value from animal husbandry in total output value of agriculture by the National Bureau of Statistics in China, indicating that the mapping of the farming-pastoral ecotones may be accepted.     

走在千年瓷都

景德镇珍贵的陶瓷古迹、精湛的制瓷技艺构成了她独具一格的旅游文化.曾经两次路经景德镇,但都匆忙而过.前不久,我第三次来到景德镇,一天一夜,驻足留连,终于圆了心中一个愿望--不仅是领略了千年瓷都的自然历史文化,更多的是有机会亲近千年古镶留下的历代官窑、民窑遗址和无数散布于城内古街区古弄巷中的各式古建筑群落.     

雷州半岛灯楼角珊瑚礁海区夏季的浮游动物

2004年8月在雷州半岛灯楼角珊瑚礁海区分别使用浅水Ⅰ型和浅水Ⅱ型浮游生物网进行了浮游动物调查,共鉴定浮游动物72种和浮游幼虫19个类群(或类型),其中桡足类的种数最多达45种。结果表明,浮游动物种数分布由近岸往远岸递增,约3/4的种类属于终身浮游生物,1/4属于阶段性浮游生物。中小型的浮游动物种类多,数量大。两种网具采集的浮游动物总种数、总密度、多样性指数、均匀度和中小型优势种的密度差异相当显著,而大型优势种的密度差异不明显。用浅水Ⅱ型网采集的浮游动物总密度平均值为5270ind/m3,是浅水Ⅰ型网的110倍。桡足类占浮游动物总密度的72.45%,其次幼虫占23.41%。浮游动物密度呈斑块状分布,最高达16257ind/m3,底质为珊瑚礁的测站的浮游动物数量一般较多。优势种主要是中小型种类和底栖动物的幼虫,如强额孔雀哲水蚤、蔓足类无节幼虫、细长腹剑水蚤、驼背隆哲水蚤、无节幼虫、双壳类面盘幼虫、桡足幼体、简长腹剑水蚤等。

海洋溢油污染对生物群落和种群的影响及生态系统的恢复

海洋溢油污染带来的最严重的威胁在于它能够改变或破坏海洋环境中正常存在的生态系统。溢油污染对生态系统的初步影响是造成生物物种多样性、丰度、均匀度下降,进一步则是敏感物种消退,另一些机会物种大量繁殖,群落结构受到扰动。受到溢油污染后的生物群落的变化和恢复过程通常呈现的是多种因素共同作用的结果。溢油作为一种外来的扰动因素,对生态系统的发展强行加注了一种相对统一的发展模式,生态系统会经历一些优势种之间强烈的相互作用,种群数量出现大幅度的波动,系统变得敏感脆弱,生态恢复需要一定的时间。本文对国内外几十年来的研究成果进行综述,总结今后应大力开展海洋石油污染调查研究工作的各个方面。     

A culture-dependent survey of thermophilic bacteria from hot springs in Xiamen area in China

Microbes are believed to play important roles in ecosystem function in many environments. The hot springs of Xiamen Island are close to the Xiamen Sea, and may have some characteristics different from those of inland hot springs. Microbes living in the hot springs of Xiamen may have new characteristics. However, little is known about microbial communities of hot springs close to the Xiamen Sea. A culturedependent survey of microbial population in the Xiamen hot springs was performed by using an approach combining total cellular protein profile identification and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A total of 328 isolates of bacteria were obtained from liquid and sediment samples from the Xiamen hot springs, including neutrophilic thermophilic bacteria and moderately thermophilic acidophiles. Neutrophilic thermophilic bacteria, which grow at a temperature range of 55—90℃ including Rhodothermus marinus (Strain 1), Thermus thermophilus (Strain 2), Thermus thiopara (Strain 3), Geobacillus stearothermophilus (Strain 4), Geobacillus thermoleovorans (Strain 5), and Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes (Strain 6), were recovered by 2216E plates. Moderately thermophilic acidophiles, which can grow at temperatures above 50℃ and a pH range of 1.8—3.5 such as Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (Strain 8), Sulfobacillus acidophilus (Strain 9), and Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans (Strain 10), were isolated on selective solid medium containing sulfur and Fe2+. Among these strains, Rhodothermus marinus, Thermus thermophilus and Geobacillus stearothermophilus are not only thermophiles, but also halophiles. One bacterium strain (Strain 6) shared 99% nucleotide sequence homology with Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, but was quite different from Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes in biological characteristics, suggesting that it may represent a novel thermophilic species. Results indicated that various species of neutrophilic thermophiles and moderately thermophilic acidophiles were widely distributed in the Xiamen hot springs and that Rhodothermus marinus and Thermus thermophilus dominated the cultivable microbial community.
