不同草原类型天然牧草生长发育气象条件分析

通过对内蒙古草原3种不同草原类型,牧草生长发育过程和气象条件关系的分析研究,得出:主要牧草各发育期所需≥0℃积温变幅值和天然牧草各生育期所需热量;牧草返青与黄枯期主要取决于温度状况,而与水分关系较小;利用前10天的平均气温可以判断某生长期的发育进程;牧草对水分的需求主要体现在生长盛期,在典型草原和荒漠区更为明显,适当的干旱可使牧草有早熟现象;牧草的产量主要取决于水热搭配状况,通常情况下水分是典型草原与荒漠草原牧草产量的限制因子,热量可成为草甸草原的限制因子。旬降水量草甸草原达40mm、典型草原达30mm、草原化荒漠达10mm,产量有明显增加。     

草鱼网围养殖区声波的研究

对网围养殖区内草鱼的活动声波进行了采集与分析,并将采集的声波进行了回放。结果表明,草鱼网围养殖区声波频率范围为0~3.2 kHz,整个频段内没有宽带波峰。在草鱼饥饿、食饵和饱食的不同状态下养殖区内的水声特性有一定的差异。研究表明在网围养殖区通过声波回放能对草鱼起到诱集作用,在投饵回放、投饵不回放及不投饵回放声波的情况下,草鱼的响应时间分别为2.55、3.504、.80 min,存在显著差异。回放持续性声波和间隔性声波在响应时间上不存在显著差异。     

Long-term vegetation response to mesquite removal in Desert Grassland

Forty-six years of vegetation response to mesquite removal at dry, low elevation sites on the Santa Rita Experimental Range in southern Arizona was only slightly different than the vegetation dynamics where mesquite trees were left intact. Only the density of threeawn grass species (Aristida spp.) was greater in the mesquite removal areas: and that difference persisted even after the cover of mesquite was no longer different between treatment and control areas. Cover of shrubs and perennial grasses, and density of all other perennial grasses did not differ between mesquite treatments throughout the study period. Mesquite cover on treated areas was not different than untreated areas 40 years after tree removal. The long-term results support the interpretation that vegetation dynamics at these dry locations, are not limited by the abundance of neighbouring mesquite. Alternatively, mesquite abundance is self-limiting at levels less than would influence grass abundance and precipitation anomalies may override any effects of neighbouring mesquite. Practically, these results suggest that areas with 350 mm year⁻¹ of annual precipitation and <20% mesquite cover may have very little potential for increasing grass abundance through the removal of mesquite trees.

允饲植物源复方制剂对草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)组织形态和生长性能的作用研究

为了进一步评估由白芍(Radix paeoniae Alba)、杜仲(Eucommia ulmoides)和知母(Rhizoma anemarrhenae)组成且具有免疫增强作用的复方制剂A、B、C对草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idellus)组织形态和生长性能方面可能存在的风险,本试验将二龄草鱼随机分成12个试验组和2个对照组,分别连续投喂含有不同复方制剂的饲料和空白饲料,在试验第7、14、21、28天分别随机从对应试验组中采集5尾草鱼肝胰脏、脾脏、肾脏和肠道进行切片制作和组织形态分析;在试验第0、29天分别随机从对应试验组中采集10尾草鱼进行肥满度、增重率、特定生长率、脏体比和肠道承重力测定。结果表明,分别以2%、4%剂量添加于草鱼饲料中的复方制剂A、B、C对试验草鱼阶段增重率、特定生长率、饵料系数、肝胰体比、肾体比和肠道承重力系列指标均无异常影响。组织形态分析方面,复方制剂A对草鱼肝胰脏、脾脏、肾脏和肠道具有良好的安全性,而复方制剂B、C经连续投喂21天起,对应剂量组草鱼肝胰脏、肾脏逐渐呈现不同程度的组织病变。本文得出结论认为,即使完全符合允饲要求的天然植物品种,缺乏基于较全面的评价维度试验证明其具有使用安全性,则容易仅关注允饲天然植物在效果表达的表象,而忽略其诱发的组织病变造成组织器官的功能衰退。

The loss of New Zealand's active dunes and the spread of marram grass (Ammophila arenaria)

Abstract:  This article examines the decline of New Zealand's active dunes in relation to the introduction of marram grass ( Ammophila arenaria ). The area of active dunes in New Zealand declined from 129 000 ha in the early 1900s to about 39 000 ha in 2000; a reduction of 70%. The extent of active dunes has declined since the 1950s in all regions, particularly in Northland, Auckland and the Manawatu. The loss of active dunes on the west coast of the North Island resulted primarily from the introduction of marram grass, followed by the establishment of Pinus radiata plantations and extensive pastoral farming. Between 1985 and 2005 marram grass extended its range to the detriment of the indigenous foredune flora. Conservation and resource management agencies should urgently identify dune systems for conservation management and marram grass eradication.     

A rare case of grass flow induced by the M8.4 Arequipa earthquake, June 2001, in the Altiplano of Northern Chile

On June 23, 2001, an M8.4 earthquake that originated in southern Peru triggered the partial collapse of the Chislluma bofedal (water meadows) in the Altiplano (high-altitude plateau) of northern Chile. The seismic waves evidently produced the liquefaction of the bofedal and caused its partial collapse generating a flow. The flow deposit was mainly made of long-fiber grass and water, with minor amounts of clastic material. It traveled more than 14 km downstream at a peak velocity of 50 km/h. It destroyed the water meadows and killed more than 20 llamas. Slurry flows caused by meadow liquefaction are a previously unrecognized seismic-induced geological hazard for high-altitude plateau areas such as the Altiplano.     

The Department of Agriculture and pasture improvement, 1892–1914

Abstract:  Even before 1900, the emphasis in New Zealand agriculture shifted from extensive agriculture to more intensive use of existing farmland through pasture improvement. Examination of the contribution of the Department of Agriculture, which together with the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research activated the later 'grasslands revolution', shows both the extent and the limits of its role in pasture improvement before 1914. It is suggested that until then, the prime agents in this transformation were not Department of Agriculture staff but rather enlightened farmers, with co-operation between them on an equal footing towards the end of the period.     

Estimation of green grass/herb biomass from airborne hyperspectral imagery using spectral indices and partial least squares regression

The main objective was to determine whether partial least squares (PLS) regression improves grass/herb biomass estimation when compared with hyperspectral indices, that is normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) and red-edge position (REP). To achieve this objective, fresh green grass/herb biomass and airborne images (HyMap) were collected in the Majella National Park, Italy in the summer of 2005. The predictive performances of hyperspectral indices and PLS regression models were then determined and compared using calibration (n = 30) and test (n = 12) data sets. The regression model derived from NDVI computed from bands at 740 and 771 nm produced a lower standard error of prediction (SEP = 264 g m⁻²) on the test data compared with the standard NDVI involving bands at 665 and 801 nm (SEP = 331 g m⁻²), but comparable results with REPs determined by various methods (SEP = 261 to 295 g m⁻²). PLS regression models based on original, derivative and continuum-removed spectra produced lower prediction errors (SEP = 149 to 256 g m⁻²) compared with NDVI and REP models. The lowest prediction error (SEP = 149 g m⁻², 19% of mean) was obtained with PLS regression involving continuum-removed bands. In conclusion, PLS regression based on airborne hyperspectral imagery provides a better alternative to univariate regression involving hyperspectral indices for grass/herb biomass estimation in the Majella National Park.
