氮添加对4种森林类型林下植物多样性的影响

为研究氮沉降对林下植物多样性的影响,选取4种中国东部典型的森林类型(热带山地雨林原始林及次生林、亚热带常绿阔叶林、温带针阔混交林和寒温带针叶林),调查林下植物多样性在氮添加处理1年后的变化。结果表明:氮添加显著降低热带山地雨林原始林和次生林林下物种丰富度,且下降幅度随氮添加浓度的上升而增加(p<0.05),同时氮添加也降低温带针阔混交林高氮样方的物种丰富度,但低浓度氮添加却增加林下物种丰富度(p<0.05)。另外,在亚热带常绿阔叶林和寒温带针叶林(高氮样方除外),氮添加增加林下物种多样性,但变化不显著。Shannon-Wiener指数也显示相似的变化趋势。这些结果表明,1年的施氮处理对森林生态系统林下物种多样性有显著的影响,而不同处理水平在不同森林类型下的影响是不同的。这与以往的研究结果并不完全相同。

Synergism Among VA Mycorrhiza, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria and Rhizobium for Symbiosis with Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) Under Field Conditions

A field experiment was conducted at the G.B. Pant University Research Station, Ujhani (U.P.) in rainy (Kharif) season of the year 1994-1995 to study the effect of Rhizobium, VAM (vesicular arbuscular myc- orrhiza) and PSB (phosphate solubilizing bacteria) inoculation, with and without P, on blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) seed yield. Phosphorus application in soil with medium P content (5.4 mg kg～1) increased nodu- lation, grain yield, N and P in plant and grain over no phosphorus control. Forty kilograms of P-2O-5 each hactare recorded an increase of 20.6 % in nodule dry weight, significant increases of 0.35 g kg～(-1) in N con- centration and 1.28 g kg～(-1) in P concentration of plant over 20 kg P-2O-5 ha～(-1). Similar significant increases of 0.59 g kg～(-l) in grain yield and 0.54 and 0.23 g kg～(-1) in N and P concentrations of the grain, respectively, over 20 kg P-2O-5 ha～(-1) were also obtained with higher dose. Inoculation of Rhizobium ＋ VAM ＋ PSB at all the stages of plant growth recorded maximum increases in all the parameters studied. Dual inoculation of Rhizobium with either VAM or PSB was generally significant in the effect and better than that of VAM ＋ PSB, however, P accumulation in plant and grain was more with VAM ＋ PSB. Among single inocula tions, Rhizobium gave highest and 21.0 % more nodule number, 34.7 % more nodule dry mass, 0.73 g kg～(-1) more N in grain and 4.2 % higher grain yield over PSB. PSB, however, registered significant increases in P concentration in plant and grain over VAM and Rhizobium.

Generation and transformation of ROS on g-C_3N_4 for efficient photocatalytic NO removal:A combined in situ DRIFTS and DFT investigation

Understanding the performance of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in photocatalysis is pivotal for advancing their application in environmental remediation.However,techniques for investigating the generation and transformation mechanism of ROS have been largely overlooked.In this study,considering g‐C3N4 to be a model photocatalyst,we have focused on the ROS generation and transformation for efficient photocatalytic NO removal.It was found that the key to improving the photocatalysis performance was to enhance the ROS transformation from·O2^-to·OH,elevating the production of·OH.The ROS directly participate in the photocatalytic NO removal and tailor the rate‐determining step,which is required to overcome the high activation energy of the intermediate conversion.Using a closely combined experimental and theoretical method,this work provides a new protocol to investigate the ROS behavior on g‐C3N4 for effective NO removal and clarifies the reaction mechanism at the atomic level,which enriches the understanding of ROS in photocatalytic environmental remediation.

Dynamics of Microbial Biomass in a Rainfed Soil Under Wheat Cultivation

A pot experiment was conducted to determine the dynamics of soil microbial biomass in a rainfed soil under wheat cultivation at the University of Arid Agriculture, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The treatments applied were: 1) a control (CK), 2) NPK (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1), 3) farmyard manure (FYM, 110 g pot-1), 4)poultry manure (PM, 110 g pot-1), 5) FYM (110 g pot-1) + NPK (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1), 6) poultry manure (PM, 110 g pot-1) + NPK (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1), 7) FYM (110 g pot-1) + NPK(S) (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1, one half of the NPK at sowing and the other half one month after sowing), and 8) PM (110 g pot-1) + NPK(S) (0.44-0.26-0.18 g pot-1, one half of the NPK applied at sowing and the other half one month after sowing). The experiment was laid out using a completely randomized design with three replications. Microbial biomass C, N and P contents increased continuously from the beginning of the experiment up to the three-leaf stage. A slight decline was observed at the tillering stage in all treatments except with the organic manures + NPK(S) treatments. After tillering there was an increase in all treatments to the recorded maximum point at the full heading stage in all treatments except with the organic manures + NPK(S) treatments. In the FYM + NPK(S) and PM + NPK(S) treatments; however, there was a continuous increase in microbial biomass up to the heading stage. At the harvesting stage a sharp decline was noted in all treatments. The C:N ratio of microbial biomass in tested soil ranged from 7.8 to 11.3, while C:P ratio of microbial biomass in the tested soil ranged from 22.6 to 35.1 throughout all growth stages of the wheat crop.

Remote ischemic perconditioning prevents liver transplantation-induced ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats: Role of ROS/RNS and e NOS

AIM To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the protective role of remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPerC) in rat liver transplantation. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to sham, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), ischemic postconditioning (IPostC) or RIPerC. After 3 h reperfusion, blood samples were taken for measurement of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatinine (Cr) and creatinine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB). The liver lobes were harvested for the following measurements: reactive oxygen species (ROS), H2O2, mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta psi m) and total nitric oxide (NO). These measurements were determined using an ROS/H2O2, JC1 and Total NOx Assay Kit, respectively. Endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) and western blotting, and peroxynitrite was semiquantified by western blotting of 3-nitrotyrosine. RESULTS Compared with the OLT group, the grafts subjected to RIPerC showed significantly improved liver and remote organ functions (P < 0.05). ROS (P < 0.001) including H2O2 (P < 0.05) were largely elevated in the OLT group as compared with the sham group, and RIPerC (P < 0.05) reversed this trend. The collapse of Delta psi m induced by OLT ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was significantly attenuated in the RIPerC group (P < 0.001). A marked increase of NO content and phosphoserine eNOS, both in protein and mRNA levels, was observed in liver graft of the RIPerC group as compared with the OLT group (P < 0.05). I/R-induced 3-nitrotyrosine content was significantly reduced in the RIPerC group as compared with the OLT group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the RIPerC and IPostC groups for all the results except Cr. The Cr level was lower in the RIPerC group than in the IPostC group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Liver graft protection by RIPerC is similar to or better than that of IPostC, and involves inhibition of oxidative stress and up-regulation of the PI3K/Akt/eNOS/NO pathway.

Intervention of Mirtazapine on gemcitabine-induced mild cachexia in nude mice with pancreatic carcinoma xenografts

AIM: To investigate the effect of Mirtazapine on tumor growth, food intake, body weight, and nutritional status in gemcitabine-induced mild cachexia. METHODS: Fourteen mice with subcutaneous xenografts of a pancreatic cancer cell line (SW1990) were randomly divided into Mirtazapine and control groups. Either Mirtazapine (10 mg/kg) or saline solution was orally fed to the mice every day after tumor implantation. A model of mild cachexia was then established in both groups by intraperitoneal injection of Gemcitabine (50 mg/kg) 10 d, 13 d, and 16 d after tumor implanta- tion. Tumor size, food intake, body weight, and nutritional status were measured during the experiment. All mice were sacrificed at day 28. RESULTS: (1) After 7 d of gemcitabine administration, body-weight losses of 5%-7% which suggested mild cachexia were measured; (2) No significant difference in tumor size was detected between the Mirtazapine and control groups (P > 0.05); and (3) During the entire experimental period, food intake and body weight were slightly greater for the Mirtazapine group compared with controls (although these differences were not statistically significant). After 21 d, mice in the Mirtazapine group consumed significantly more food than control mice (3.95 ± 0.14 g vs 3.54 ± 0.10 g, P = 0.004). After 25 d, mice in the Mirtazapine group were also significantly heavier than control mice (17.24 ± 0.53 g vs 18.05 ± 0.68 g, P = 0.014). CONCLUSION: Mild cachexia model was successfully established by gemcitabine in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. Mirtazapine can improve gemcitabine-induced mild cachexia in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. It was believed to provide a potential therapeutic perspective for further studies on cachexia.

The Influence of Different Nitrogen Treatments on the Growth and Yield of Basil （Ocimum Basificum L.）

Sweet basil （Ocimum basilicum L.） is a popular culinary herbal crop grown for the fresh or dry leaf, essential oil and seed markets. Recently, basil has been shown to rank highest among spices and herbal crops for xanthophyll carotenoids, which are associated with a decreased risk of cancer and age-related eye diseases. Nitrogen fertilizer encourages vegetative growth and increases oil yield in aromatic plants by enhancing leaf area development and photosynthetic rate. Our goal was to determine the influence of different concentrations of nitrogen （N） fertilization on basil physiology. The trial examined the cultivation of Ocimum basilicum L. （variety Genovese gigante）. The experiment was carried out under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The experiment considered the adoption of three nitrogen （N） treatments （0, 160, 240 kg N ha-1）. The following biometric parameters were determined： plant height, leaves per plant, leaf to stem ratio, number of branchings per plant, leaf area index （LAI）, above-ground fresh and leaf biomass. Considering the parameters most strictly linked to the economic results （total fresh weight, fresh weight of the leaves and total dry weight）, we found that 160 kg N ha^-1 treatment showed the best performance.

Determination of Nutrient Uptake Characteristic of Black Pepper （Piper nigrum L.）

The relationship between the growth and nutrient uptake by perennial crop such as pepper is poorly understood and improved understanding of such relationship is important for the establishment of rational crop management practices. In order to characterize the growth performance and quantify the nutrient removed, this study presents results of three consecutive cropping years, fertilized with 1, 2 and 3 ton ha1 of NPK fertilizer respectively. Plant biomass accumulated was evaluated every two months, separating plant into stems, branches, leaves, berries, fruit spikes and flowers. Total biomass of pepper increased linearly and reach maximum at 22 months after planting. Thereafter, a decrease in dry matter was observed due to fruit export and fallen leaves at harvest. However, at the 28 months of planting, the biomass of pepper vine showing some increasing trend indicating the vegetative growth was reassumed for the next flowering. At 30 months, the pepper had removed 293.08 kg of nitrogen, 46.41 kg of phosphorus, 264.95 kg of potassium, 35.4 kg of magnesium and 74.82 kg of calcium. Based on data obtained, the nutrient uptake rates were lower than nutrient applied suggested that fertilizer had been overused for pepper production. In light of these results obtained, the optimum fertilizer dosage would be 62-10-62-6-18 kg/ha, 237-22-246-22-65 kg/ha and 390-62-352-47-100 kg/ha of N-P-K-Mg-Ca for the year 1, year 2 and year 3 of cropping year.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of soil fertilizers, used on the background of NPK fertilization on the productivity of Lolium perenne and Lolium multiflorum in different time of harvest. In 2012-2013 the following species and varieties of forage grasses： Lolium perenne and Lolium multiflorum were cultivated. It was the fallowing experimental subjects： K-control （without fertilization and fertilizer）, NPK （N-150 kg hal as a 34% ammonium nitrate, P-80 kg P2O5 ha-1, K-120 kg K20 ha-1）, UG-UGmax bio-preparation, EU-Eco bio-preparation （fertilizer）, HA-Humus Active as bio-preparation.

The impacts of warming and nitrogen addition on competitive ability of native and invasive populations of Plantago virginica

Aims Global change factors(e.g.warming and nitrogen deposition)may influence biological invasions,but how these factors may influence the performance of invasive species and further mediate the interactions with native competitors remain still unknown.Methods Here,we conducted a 5-month greenhouse experiment to examine the effects of warming(using open-top chambers,+0.62°C)and N addition(adding NH4NO3 at a rate of 4.2 g m−2)on the performance of the native and invasive populations of an invasive species Plantago virginica in competition with a native Plantago asiatica.Important Findings Under warming treatment and its interaction with nitrogen addition treatment(W×N),invasive and native populations of P.virginica had different biomass allocation strategies to compete with native competitor P.asiatica.Native population of P.virginica(PV-Na)increased more below-ground biomass,whereas those from the invasive population(PV-In)increased more above-ground biomass.We also found that invasive species P.virginica had stronger responses to warming and N addition than the native species P.asiatica.The competitive ability of the invasive plants was significantly reduced by warming which indicated that the invasive plant were much stronger sensitivity to elevated temperature than native plant.Similarly,N addition and W×N reduced the competitive response of PV-In in below-ground biomass,but increased the competitive response of PV-Na in above-ground and total biomass when they grew with the P.asiatica.The results show that P.virginica have occurred differential biomass allocation strategies during its invasions and invasive population exhibit flexible competition ability to adapt to environmental changes(especially warming).These findings may potentially help to predict plant invasions and make management strategies in a world with changing climate.

The uptake diversity of soil nitrogen nutrients by main plant species in Kobresia humilis alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

We studied the uptake of ammonium, nitrate, and a variety of amino acids by alpine plant species in the Kobresia humil alpine meadow ecosystem in situ. We examined the extent of niche separation in uptake of N source by different plant species in alpine communities, and investigated the contribution of symbiotically fixed N to the total N in alpine meadow. The results are （1） δ15N natural abundance values of 13 plant species lie between -2.680‰ and 5.169‰, and the scope is 7.849‰. （2） Le- guminous plants, such as Trigonella ruthenica, Gueldenstaedtia diversiffolia, and Oxytyopis ochrocephala, and non-legumi- nous plant Gentiana straminea uptake low amounts of 15N labeled ammonium, nitrate, glycine or aspartate in soil. （3） As far as the plant uptake of organic N is concerned, Kobresia humilis, Poa pratensis, and Gentiuna spathutifolta can effectively uptake organic nitrogen, and about 37%-40% of the nitrogen of these species comes from soil organic nitrogen sources （such as glycine and aspartate）. Stipa aliena can effectively uptake nitrate, and 60% of its nitrogen comes from soil nitrate. Potentilla anserina, Poa pratensis, and Thalictrum alpinum can effectively absorb ammonium in comparason to other plant species in the meadow, and about 25%-27% of the nitrogen in these plants comes from soil ammonium. （4） The contribution of leguminous fixed N to total N is 7.48%-9.26% in Kobresia humilis alpine meadow. （5） These data show many plant species of alpine meadow may effectively utilize dissolved organic nitrogen such as amino acids, and these plants have diverse ways to uptake soil nitrogen in alpine meadows. Based on the results we can partly explain why there are abundant biodiversities and how plants at alpine habitat utilize the limited soil N sources.

Effects and driving factors of domestic sewage from different sources on nitrous oxide emissions in a bog

Direct sewage discharge may enhance soil nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)emissions,worsening the greenhouse effect.However,the effects of sewage discharge into bogs on N_(2)O flux,drivers and influencing mechanisms remain unclear.Additionally,investigating the impact of reclaimed water on N_(2)O flux is important for bog replenishment and water shortage alleviation.This study simulated sewage from different sources into a bog and analyzed N_(2)O fluxes,soil(organic carbon,total nitrogen,ammonium nitrogen,nitrate nitrogen,total phosphorus,available phosphorus,pH and electrical conductivity),plant(species richness and biomass)and microorganisms(ammonia-oxidizing archaea,napA,nirS,nirK and nosZ genes).Results showed that the reclaimed water did not significantly change N_(2)O flux,while 50%tap water mixed with 50%domestic sewage and domestic sewage significantly increased the N_(2)O flux.Among soil factors,available nitrogen and pH were key in influencing N_(2)O flux.Among plant parameters,species richness was the primary factor affecting N_(2)O flux.Nitrogen transformation functional genes contributed the most to the increase in the N_(2)O fluxes,with an increase in domestic sewage input leading to a higher abundance of these genes and subsequent N_(2)O emissions.Therefore,domestic sewage should be considered,as it significantly increases N_(2)O emissions by affecting the soil,plants and microorganisms,thereby increasing the global warming potential.This study’s findings suggest that using treated reclaimed water for bog replenishment could be an environmentally friendly approach to wetland management.
