南极菲尔德斯半岛潮间带沉积物细菌的多样性及分离菌产酶测定

摘要:南极菲尔德斯半岛具有多种不同特征的生态地理微环境,如长城科考站、企鹅岛、生物湾与黄金湾流域、半岛南部、碧玉滩等。这些区域因水文地质、动植物分布、人类活动程度等不同而具有明显的生态地理差异。本研究从这些微环境海岸潮间带采集了7份代表性沉积物样品,采用16S rRNA基因高通量测序方法,对其细菌类群的多样性以及环境理化因子的影响进行了比较分析;同时采用常规可培养鉴定方法,对样品的分离菌株产酶状况进行了初步测定。结果表明：整体上看,所有样品的细菌类群主要分布在45门、104纲、442属当中,表现出比较高的多样性。其中,优势菌门Proteobacteria主要分布在半岛南部、碧玉滩和生物湾潮间带沉积物物中,优势菌门Bacteroidetes主要分布在企鹅岛两侧和黄金湾潮间带沉积物,长城站潮间带沉积物的优势门为Firmicutes。相似生态微环境的潮间带沉积物具有不同的优势菌门和纲;而不同生态微环境潮间带沉积物却具相同的优势菌门和纲。有机氮（TON）、NH4+-N、NO3--N、PO43--P、NO2--N含量与企鹅岛两侧、生物湾、黄金湾潮间带沉积物的菌群多样性具有相关性,其中TON对生物湾样品的影响最大,而有机碳（TOC）对所有样品的影响较小。分离菌株的产酶实验表明：在企鹅岛、生物湾、黄金湾等动物频繁出没的潮间带样品中,蕴藏着一批产淀粉酶、酪蛋白酶、脂肪酶、七叶苷酶、过氧化氢酶能力较强菌株,这为今后进一步的应用开发提供了宝贵的低温产酶菌株来源。 关键词: 菲尔德斯半岛; 潮间带沉积物; 细菌类群多样性; 产酶菌株

宁夏沿黄人工绿洲农田格局对景观多样性的影响——以卫宁平原灌区为例北大核心CSCD

景观多样性是度量区域生态系统(土地利用/覆盖)类型数量和面积比例的集成指数,是景观生态学研究中使用频率最高的指数。农田作为干旱半干旱区人工绿洲的主要景观组成类型,是近半个世纪绿洲空间结构研究的焦点。本文采用2020年30 m分辨率的土地利用/覆盖数据,借助地理探测器模型的空间分异因子解释力(q统计量)和Moving Window法分析了宁夏沿黄人工绿洲卫宁平原灌区农田格局对景观多样性的影响。结果表明:宁夏沿黄平原区景观多样性(LDI)变化受到了农田总面积(CA)和最大农田斑块指数(LPI)的显著影响,但是它们与斑块间距离(Enn_mn)和斑块类型周长-面积分维数(Pafrac)的交互作用更显著,大于其单独影响。农田总面积和最大农田斑块指数不同级别对LDI都有显著影响;斑块间距离和斑块类型周长-面积分维数分别为67~801 m(q>0.05)和0.142~1.060时对景观多样性影响差异不显著,不在此阈值范围内则对景观多样性有显著影响。     

二战后全球宗教多样性时空格局演变及收敛性研究

运用LISA时间路径、收敛检验等方法考察了二战后全球宗教多样性发展的空间分布特征、格局演变以及在此过程中的收敛性。研究发现：（1）二战后宗教多样性呈先快后慢的上升趋势,1945—2015年间多样性指数增幅达81.07%。宗教分类上则主要表现为基督教信仰者数量的持续下滑以及伊斯兰教信仰者数量的稳步上升。（2）LISA时间路径表明二战后全球宗教多样性具有较强的空间锁定效应,且其空间演化具有较强空间整合性。（3）二战后全球宗教多样性水平存在着显著的σ收敛与绝对β收敛,即全球、洲级层面上宗教多样性水平的内部差异都在逐步弥合,宗教多样性水平较高的地区对周边较低地区存在溢出效应。（4）二战后全球宗教多样性演化受土地覆盖类型、国力指数、民族数量、人均GDP、人口规模等因素共同作用而收敛于不同的稳态水平;从洲级层面上来看,各洲级单元收敛性对影响因素的敏感程度不同,体现了二战后全球宗教多样性演化显著的地域分异性。     

Soil and vegetation seasonal changes in the grazing Andean Mountain grasslands

Andean grasslands ecosystems are fragile environments with rigorous climatologic conditions and low and variable food for the grazing. The Apolobamba area is located in the Bolivian Andean Mountains. Its high grasslands provide a natural habitat for wild and domestic camelids such as vicuna（Vicugna vicugna） and alpaca（Lama pacos）. The botanical diversity plays an essential role in maintaining vital ecosystem functions. The objectives of this research were to determine the seasonal changes in soil properties, to study the vegetation changes during the wet and dry seasons and the influence of soil properties and camelid densities on the vegetation in the Apolobamba grasslands. Four zones with different vicuna populations were selected to be studied. The following soil parameters were determined： total organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorous, cation exchange capacity, exchangeable cations, pH and texture. The vegetation season changes were studied through botanical identification, above-ground biomass, plant cover and species richness. Results showed that some soil properties such as C/N ratio, CEC, silt and clay percentages kept stable against the seasonal changes. Generally, soil nutrients were relatively higher during the dry season in the surface and subsurface. The results did not point out the predominant vegetation growth during the wet season. The seasonal vegetation growth depended on each species. Thegood soil fertility corresponded to the highest plant cover. Soil fertility presented no influence on the above-ground biomass of the collected species. The negative influence of camelid grazing on soil properties could not be assessed. However, overgrazing could affect some plant species. Therefore, protection is needed in order to preserve the biodiversity in the Andean mountain grasslands.     

Higher species diversity occurs in more fertile habitats without fertilizer disturbance in an alpine natural grassland community

Are there some relationships among species diversity and soil chemical properties of high altitude natural grasslands？ Plant community composition and chemical properties of soil samples were compared to investigate the relationship between soil and species diversity, and the richness in Tibetan alpine grasslands. Results showed that species diversity was significantly positively related to soil organic matter （SOM）, total nitrogen （TN）, available nitrogen （AN）, total phosphorus （TP）, available phosphorus （AP）, and available potassium （AK） in the high alpine grasslands. Margalefs species richness index was also significantly positively related to SOM, TN, AN, and TP. Most soil chemical properties showed significantly positive correlation with species diversity and Margalef＇s richness index. Our results suggested that higher plant species richness index and diversity occurred in more fertile soil habitats in high altitude natural grassland community. In practice, fertilization management for the restoration of degraded grassland should be conducted with reference to the nutrient levels ofnatural grassland without the additional artificial fertilizer and with higher species-diversity and richness index.     

Biodiversity and invasibility: Distribution patterns of invasive plant species in the Himalayas,Nepal

Invasive plant species are exerting a serious threat to biological diversity in many regions of the world. To understand plant invasions this study aims to test which of the two plant invasiveness hypotheses; ‘low native diversity' vs. ‘high native diversity', is supported by the regional distribution patterns of invasive plant species in the Himalayas,Nepal. This study is based on data retrieved from published literatures and herbarium specimens. The relationship between invasive plant species distribution patterns and that of native plant species is elucidated by scatter plots, as well as by generalized linear models. The native plant species and invasive plant species have similar distribution patterns and the maximum number of invasive plant species is found in the same altitudinal range where the highest richness for native tree species is found. There is a clear trend of higher invasive plant richness in regions where native tree species richness is relatively high.Consequently, the native plant richness is highest in the central phytogeographic region, followed by the eastern and the western regions, respectively. The invasive plant species also follows a similar trend.Additionally, the invasive plant species richness was positively correlated with anthropogenic factors such as human population density and the number of visiting tourists. This study supports the hypothesis that ‘high native diversity' supports or facilitates invasive plant species. Further, it indicates that nativeand invasive plant species may require similar natural conditions, but that the invasive plant species seem more dependent and influenced by anthropogenic disturbance factors.     

Species richness,diversity and density of understory vegetation along disturbance gradients in the Himalayan conifer forest

We investigated whether species richness, diversity and density of understory herbaceous plants differed along logging(gap) and grazing(primarily by cattle) disturbance gradients, and sought to identify drivers of richness, diversity and density of understory vegetation of logged sites. A factorial experiment was conducted in the mixed conifer forest of Gidakom in Western Bhutan. Levels of the logging treatment included small(0.15 – 0.24 ha), medium(0.25 – 0.35 ha) and large(0.36 – 1.31 ha) gaps. The grazing treatment included grazed(primarily by cattle) and ungrazed(where herbivores were excluded by a fence) plots nested within each gap. Data were collected from 12 gaps(4 replicates at each level of logging) using the point intercept method. Shannon Weaver Diversity and Margalef's indices were used to estimate species diversity and describe species richness, respectively. Soil samples were analyzed for pH and nutrients. The interaction effect of logging and grazing was significant(p≤0.001) only on species diversity. Relative to ungrazed areas, species diversity was significantly higher(0.01≤p≤0.05) in medium grazed gaps. Under grazed conditions, soil P was negatively correlated with gap size and species diversity. While species diversity was positivelycorrelated(0.01≤p≤0.05) with soil N in grazed plots species richness was positively correlated(0.001≤p≤0.01) with soil N in ungrazed plots. Relative density of Yushania microphylla and Carex nubigena were higher under ungrazed conditions. Our study suggests that the combined effect of cattle grazing and logging results in higher species diversity of understory vegetation in medium and grazed gaps in mixed conifer forests of Bhutan,whereas increase or decrease in relative density of major species is determined primarily by the independent effects of grazing and logging. From management perspective, forest managers must refrain from creating large gaps to avoid loss of nutrients(mainly P and N), which may eventually affect tree regeneration. Managers intending to maintain understory vegetation diversity must consider the combined effects of grazing and logging, ensuring low to moderate grazing pressure.
