This paper investigates seed density,species composition and nonconstituent species of forest soil seed banks in Yunnan Province, southwest China. Similarity between the soil seed bank and standing vegetation was also examined. We collected soil samples from sites spanning 12 elevations in tropical rain forests, subtropical evergreen broadleaved forests and subalpine coniferous forests, and transported them to a glasshouse for germination trials for species identification. The soil seed banks of tropical and subtropical forests had much higher seed densities and species richness than those of subalpine forests. Seeds of woody species dominated the soil seed banks of tropical and subtropical forests, while herbs dominated those of subalpine forests.The nonconstituent species in the soil seed banks were all herbs and were most abundant in tropical forests, followed by subtropical forests but were completely absent from subalpine forests.展开更多

The analysis of the roll box of saw gins of different companies was carried out, given the results of studies to determine the speed and density of the seed roll in the roll box of the saw gin. A diagram is given for the dependence of the speed of the feed rollers on the incoming signal.展开更多

The influence of the density of the seed roll, which is formed in the roll box of the saw gin, on the load of the saw cylinder drive and on the technological characteristics of the machine is considered. As a result of the research, in order to preserve the quality characteristics of fiber and seeds, the author proposes a gin stand with a system for regulating the position of the roll box.展开更多

The article consists of studying the influence of the speed of the saw cylinder on the quality of the fiber and the productivity of the machine, as well as on the change in the density and composition of the seed roll.
In 2000, the effect of thinning intensities with five different treatments of 0%(CK), 30%(slight thinning), 48.75%(middle thinning),53.75%(intense thinning) and 65.6%(super intense thinning) on the soil enzyme were ca...In 2000, the effect of thinning intensities with five different treatments of 0%(CK), 30%(slight thinning), 48.75%(middle thinning),53.75%(intense thinning) and 65.6%(super intense thinning) on the soil enzyme were carried out in the 9-year-old aerial seeding Pinus tabulaeformis stands with initial density of 8 000 trees·hm -2 , in QingQuanPu Aerial Seeding Center, Yanqing County of Beijing Municipality. Five years later, the activities of the five soil enzymes such as soil urease, alkaline phosphatase, inertase, catalase and polyphenol oxidase in the different soil layers of A(0～20 cm), B(20～40 cm) and C(40～60 cm) were compared. Moreover, relationships among soil enzymes, soil physiochemical properties and the diversity of the undergrowth were analyzed to prove the availability of using soil enzymes to evaluate the thinning intensities. The results showed that soil catalase varied slightly while the other four soil enzymes decrease with increasing soil depth. And the soil enzymes in the layer A were enhanced distinctly compared with in the layers B and C. Also, the five soil enzymes in the layer A were affected differently by thinning intensities, showing that soil urease and alkaline phosphatase were highest response to slight thinning followed by the middle thinning, opposite to the trend of inertase and polyphenol oxidase. There are significantly positive relationships between soil enzymes and soil physiochemical characteristics and the organic C and total N was more dominant than available K as well as available P. Except soil polyphenol oxidase, the other soil enzymes showed positive relationships with biodiversity of the undergrowth. It was concluded that reasonable thinning intensity was benefit to the development of the undergrowth and so can be to soil enzymes. Generally, when the stand with initial density of 8 000 trees·hm -2 grows up to 9 years old, the reasonable thinning intensity should be about 48.75%.展开更多
