Changes in Soil Biota Resulting from Growth of the Invasive Weed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.(Compositae), Enhance Its Success and Reduce Growth of Co-Occurring Plants

Exotic plant invasion presents a serious threat to native ecosystem structure and function. Little is known about the role of soil microbial communities in facilitating or resisting the spread of invasive plants into native communities. The purpose of this research is to understand how the invasive annual plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. facilitates its competition capacity through changing the structure and function of soil microbial communities. The soil characteristics of different areas invaded by A. artemisiifolia were examined. Greenhouse experiments were designed to assess the effect of A. artemisiifolia invasion-induced changes of soil biota on co-occurring plant growth, and on the interactions between A. artemisiifolia and three co-occurring plant species. The results showed that the soil organic C content was the highest in heavily invaded sites, the lowest in native plant sites, and intermediate in newly invaded sites. Soil available N, P and K concentrations in heavily invaded site were 2.4, 1.9 and 1.7 times higher than those in native plant soil, respectively. Soil pH decreased as A. artemisiifolia invasion intensity increased, and was lower in invaded sites（heavily invaded and newly invaded） than in native plant sites. The soil microbial community structure was clearly separated in the three types of sites, and A. artemisiifolia invasion increased anaerobe, sulfate-reducing bacteria and actinomycete abundance. Soil biota of invaded sites inhibits growth of co-occurring plants（Galinsoga parvifloraCav., Medicago sativa L. and Setaria plicata（Lam.） T. Cooke.） compared to soil biota from un-invaded sites, but facilitates A. artemisiifolia growth and competition with co-occurring plants. A. artemisiifolia biomass was 50-130% greater when competing with three co-occurring plants, compared to single-species competition only（invasion by A. artemisiifolia alone）, in heavily invaded soil. Results of the present study indicated that A. artemisiifolia invasion alters the soil microbial community in a way that favors itself while inhibiting native plant species, with measurable effects on performance of co-occurring plants.

Effects of NO_(2) on Inflorescence Length,Pollen/Seed Amount and Phenolic Metabolites of Common Ragweed(Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.)

Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (common ragweed) is an annual ruderal plant that is native to Northern America but nowadays is also spreading across Europe, and its pollen is known to be highly allergenic. Air pollution, e.g. NOx and climate change may affect the plant growth, pollen production and duration of the entire pollen season. In this study, ragweed plants were grown over an entire vegetation period under 40 ppb NO2/clean air (control) and 80 ppb NO2 (treatment). The inflorescence length was not affected by this air pollutant. However, the pollen amount increased, while the seed production decreased in both populations upon elevated NO2 concentrations. Regarding phenolic metabolites elevated NO2 had no effect on the amount of total phenolic metabolites, while individual metabolites showed significant changes.

豚草(Ambrosia artemisiifolia)不同器官与不同发育期中过氧化物酶同工酶分析

本文用凝胶电泳法测定了豚草根、茎、叶不同器官过氧化物酶同工酶酶谱,按其酶带相对迁移率(R_m),可分为11条酶带.豚草植株过氧化物酶同工酶与其他植物一样,有明显的器官特异性和阶段发育特异性.结果表明豚草茎叶中过氧化物酶酶谱在开花前后有明显的变化:(1)开花期较开花前酶带明显地增多;(2)开花期在主茎或叶片中,都会出现一条颜色较浅的,该器官花期特有的酶带;(3)豚草株体内一条主酶带(E 带)在开花期明显变浅.上述过氧化物酶同工酶的三种变化,为判断豚草植株体内开花前后生理生化变化提供了一种生化指标.

植物挥发性单萜经土壤载体的化感作用--以三裂叶豚草(Ambrosia trifida L．)为例

植物释放的挥发性单萜在生态系统中起着重要的作用,这些单萜不仅能以空气为载体对其他植物显示直接的化感作用,而且也能以土壤为载体进行间接的化感作用。通过对三裂叶豚草挥发物对植物种子萌发和土壤微生物种群影响及其化学成分的鉴定研究,验证了以单萜类物质为主的三裂叶豚草挥发物可以经土壤载体对其他植物及土壤微生物显示化感效应。还对植物挥发物化学成分鉴定的GC(气相色谱)和GC-MS(气相色谱-质谱联用)方法存在的一些误区进行了澄清,这将有助于对生态系统中植物挥发物化感作用的研究和认识。

Ambrosia Artemisfifolia L. Invasive and Allergic Weed Species on the Territory of Novi Sad

During three years lasting studies on the territory of the city of Novi Sad, terrain studies of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. distribution as well as mapping were performed on regulated and disordered green areas and on arable areas. For mapping of ragweed distribution, partially modified method of Braun-Blanquet was used, and data processing was perfomed by specially designed program Ambrosia Spot Marker. Monitoring of this species was also done because of the occurrence of retrovegetation after mowing. During vegetation period, this allergenic weed species was controlled by multiple mowing, and rough ruderal sites outside settlements were treated by glyphosate at a rate of 1.2 kg ha^-1 -2.4 kg ha^-1. The study comprehended also monitoring of pollen concentrations in the air by Rotorod pollen sampler spore collector. A. artemisiifolia L. was established in 21 city zones on over 200 localities, on the banks of the river Danube, in Petrovaradin and Sremski Karlovci. Recommended mechanical measures such as mowing, drilling in the phase of germination, and chemical control measures, resulted in significant reduction ofA. artemisiifolia L. In the second half of the August 2009 the highest number of pollen grains was found in the amount of 783 pollen grains per m3 of air.

Benefit of Adding Ammonium Sulfate or Additional Glyphosate to Glyphosate in Corn and Soybean

Nine field trials (4 in corn and 5 in soybean) were conducted over 2 years (2014 and 2015) to determine if there is greater benefit of adding ammonium sulfate (AMS) (2.5 L·haˉ1) or an equal dollar value of glyphosate (406 g·ae·haˉ1) to glyphosate applied at 450, 675 or 900 g·ae·haˉ1 for weed control in corn and soybean. Glyphosate applied at 450 g·ae·haˉ1 controlled velvetleaf 90% to 98%, common ragweed 80% - 97%, common lambsquarters 91% - 99%, Eastern black nightshade 83% - 100% and barnyardgrass 73% - 97% in corn and common ragweed 37% - 89%, common lambsquarters 39% - 98%, barnyardgrass 90% - 98% and green foxtail 91% - 98% in soybean. The addition of AMS to glyphosate applied at 450, 675 or 900 g·ae·haˉ1 provided little to no added benefit for the control of velvetleaf, common ragweed, common lambsquarters, Eastern black nightshade, barnyardgrass and green foxtail in corn and soybean. There was a greater benefit in weed control efficacy by simply adding and equal dollar value of glyphosate (406 g·ae·haˉ1) than AMS (2.5 L·haˉ1) to glyphosate. There was no difference in corn or soybean yield among the herbicide treatments evaluated. Based on these results, addition of AMS to glyphosate at rates evaluated had little benefit on weed control efficacy or yield of corn and soybean.

繁殖体压力对豚草(Ambrosia artemisiifolia)定殖和种群维持的影响

从北京门头沟收集入侵植物豚草(Ambrosia artemisiifolia)的种子,在北京顺义区休耕地上进行为期2年的田间实验。通过引入不同数量的豚草种子:5、10、20和40粒·m^(-2),研究不同繁殖体压力对入侵初期豚草出苗、定殖和种群维持的影响。结果表明:繁殖体压力大小对豚草成功定殖样方比例有显著影响,其中繁殖体压力达到20粒·m-2后所有样方均成功定殖且第二年种群继续扩大;种子引入第二年样方内豚草幼苗数和定殖植株数均显著高于第一年(P<0.05);第一年有1~3株豚草成功定殖的样方即可基本满足第二年豚草种群的维持,第二年成功出苗5~237株,定殖4~97株。以上结果表明,小批量豚草种子的传入即具有较大的入侵风险,且传入种子数量越多,风险越大;豚草在只有少数几株成功定殖的情况下就有极大可能产生足够多的种子以满足种群的维持和扩张。因此,在豚草的防控工作中,应加强对豚草种子的检疫,并且重视豚草新分布区零星植株的及时清除。

广西外来入侵植物豚草的分布调查

2019—2022年,对广西111个县(市、区)的豚草分布进行样带调查。结果表明,横州、兴宾、上林、武宣、象州、鹿寨、宾阳、灌阳和隆林9个县(市、区)有豚草发生;除了在兴宾区持续蔓延之外,横州市和上林县成为豚草的新增暴发热点,新热点的传播风险更大。装卸场是豚草发生率和归化率最高的生境,车辆传播和污染泥土传播是广西豚草扩散的主要渠道。环境的物种丰富度与豚草盖度呈负相关,但与豚草发生率和归化率均无显著关联。桂中平原周边的崇山峻岭对豚草传播起到隔离带作用。南部沿海地区的北海、钦州和防城港均未发现豚草,这种情况可能与冬季气候温和有关。

Prevalence of sensitization to weed pollens of Humulus scandens,Artemisia vulgaris,and Ambrosia artemisiifolia in northern China

Objective:Weed pollens are common sources of allergens worldwide.The prevalence of weed pollen sensitization is not yet fully known in China.The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sensitization to weed allergens from Artemisia,Ambrosia,and Humulus in northern China.Methods:A total of 1144 subjects(aged from 5 to 68 years) visiting our clinic from June to October 2011 underwent intradermal testing using a panel of 25 allergen sources.Subjects with positive skin responses to any pollen were further tested for their serum concentrations of IgE antibodies against Artemisia vulgaris,Ambrosia artemisiifolia,and Humulus scandens,and against the purified allergens,Art v 1 and Amb a 1.Results:Of 1144 subjects,170 had positive intradermal reactions to pollen and 144 donated serum for IgE testing.The prevalence of positive intradermal responses to pollens of Artemisia sieversiana,Artemisia annua,A.artemisiifolia,and H.scandens was 11.0%,10.2%,3.7%,and 6.6%,respectively.Among the intradermal positive subjects,the prevalence of specific IgE antigens to A.vulgaris was 58.3%,to A.artemisiifolia 14.7%,and to H.scandens 41.0%.The prevalence of specific IgE antigens to the allergen Art v 1 was 46.9%,and to Amb a 1 was 11.2%.The correlation between the presence of IgE antibodies specific to A.vulgaris and to the Art v 1 antigen was very high.Subjects with A.artemisiifolia specific IgE also had A.vulgaris specific IgE,but with relatively high levels of A.vulgaris IgE antibodies.There were no correlations between the presence of IgE antibodies to H.scandens and A.vulgaris or to H.scandens and A.artemisiifolia.Conclusions:The intradermal prevalence of weed pollen sensitization among allergic subjects in northern China is about 13.5%.Correlations of specific IgE antibodies suggest that pollen allergens from Artemisia and Humulus are independent sources for primary sensitization.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi enhance the growth of the exotic species Ambrosia artemisiifolia

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF)can increase host plant nutrient uptake via their mycelium,thus promoting plant growth.AMF have always been associated with successful invasion of most exotic plant species.However,knowledge regarding how AMF affect the success of plant invasion remains limited.Exotic Ambrosia artemisiifolia is an invasive and mycorrhizal plant species.A long-term field experiment was conducted to examine the differences in AMF diversity and composition in the roots of A.artemisiifolia and Setaria viridis subjected to interspecific competition during growth.A greenhouse experiment was also performed to test the effect of Funneliformis mosseae on the growth of these two species.Ambrosia artemisiifolia invasion caused AMF diversity to change in native S.viridis roots.Meanwhile,the relative abundance of F.mosseae was significantly higher in the roots of A.artemisiifolia than in those of S.viridis.The higher AMF colonization rate in the exotic species(A.artemisiifolia)than in the native species(S.viridis)was found in both the field and greenhouse experiments.The greenhouse experiment possibly provided that AMF advantaged to the growth of A.artemisiifolia,by influencing its photosynthetic capacity as well as its phosphorus and potassium absorption.These observations highlight the important relationship of AMF with the successful invasion of A.artemisiifolia.
