The composition and structure of soil seed banks were analyzed between the microhabitats by using functional group method. The distribution patterns of soil seed bank were also analyzed between the microhabitats. We also analyzed the relationship between seed size and seed persistence in soil. The results show greatly spatial heterogeneity existed in soil seed bank of the Mediterranean coastal sand dune, even in the same microhabitats seed distribution was uneven. Sometimes a great difference occurred between them. Microhabitats significantly affected the distribution patterns of total soil seed banks and seed banks of the functional groups. The open area generally had the greater densities of seeds, but the seed densities under shrub and in trail were lower than that in the open area. Legumes seeds accounted for 76.0% total persistent seed banks. Annual and perennial grasses produced transient seed banks as no seeds were retrieved from the sieved soils. Seed persistence of legumes, umbeliferaes, perennial forbs, compositaes, annual forbs, crucifer decreased gradually. They were 50.1%, 45.6%, 40.6%, 6.3%, 5.6% and 0.6% respectively in the soil. There was a positive relationship between seed size and seed persistence. Bigger seeds had higher persistence, and vice versa.展开更多

The Laplacian factor is used to process the observed image which is considered as a piecewise planar image, so the Fourth Order Anisotropic Diffusion （FOAD） can avoid the blocky effect. The edge is preserved and enhanced by the Line Edge Detector （LED） based on stick technique and hypothesis test optimizing method. An approach called the Fourth Order Anisotropic Diffusion and Edge Enhancing （FOADEE）, where the LED is combined with the FOAD, is presented. For quantitative evaluation and comparison with the LED, the FOAD and the FOADEE, two parameters as measure of the noise suppression and edge preservation are introduced. It is proved that the novel method can not only suppress speckle prominently but also preserve even enhance edge and useful details effectively by applying it to the phantoms and tissue images.展开更多

By using the Schwinger boson representation, we calculate the Gaussian correction to the critical value J⊥^c caused by quantum spin fluctuations. We find that, for the positive single-ion energy, a nonzero value of J⊥^c is always needed to stabilize the antiferromagnetic long-range order in this model. It resolves a difference among literature and shows clearly that the effect of quantum fluctuations may qualitatively change a result obtained by the mean-field theories on lower-dimensional systems.展开更多
