2007, 15(1): 1-4.
Abstract(2179) PDF(91)
Abstract:
Abstract Wetland is an important component of the global ecosystem and plays a key role in water conservation, environmental cleanup and biodiversity conservation. China possesses approximately 10% of the world's total wetlands. However, with increasing of population and economic growth, wetlands have been over-exploited in China, which results in sharp decrease in quantity as well as quality and deterioration of their ecological functions. Wetland resources quantity, distribution and problems are analyzed in this paper. On the base of the ecosystem service functions of wetland, China's wetlands are delineated into three Ⅰ type regions and seven Ⅱ type regions, which are the east-north region, Huanghuaihai region, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River region, south China region, Yungui Plateau region,westnorth region and Qingzang region. This work will benefit the eco-environment conservation and planning, safe protection of wetland ecosystem, wetland resources utilization and allocation of development.

Abstract(1370) PDF(1082)
Abstract:
The spatial distribution, carbon storage and carbon density of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii were studied by using the forest inventory data of Huoditang forest region in 1990 and Citystar 4.0 of GIS software. The results show that the total carbon storages of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii are 0.0018TgC and 0.0510TgC, respectively. Mean carbon densities are 7.6694MgC/hm2 and 38.9080MgC/hm2, respectively. The values of carbon storage and carbon density of artificial forest of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii are higher than those of the natural forests. All of these relates to the forest-type and age grade. The results also show that Pinus tabulaeformis forests mainly distribute below the altitude of 1800m and Pinus armandii forests in the middle part of Huoditang region on all the elevation. The artificial forests of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii most distribute along the road.

YANG Mei, LIN Si-Zu, CAO Guang -Qiu, LIU Hong-Bo, CAO Zi-Lin
2007, 15(1): 9-11.
Abstract(1201) PDF(1390)
Abstract:
The dynamic state of population of evergreen broadleaf trees were investigated after human disturbance by studying the spatial distribution patterns of several main populations (Castanopsis eyrei, Syzygium buxifolium, Schima superba, Michelia maudiae) in castanopsis eyrei communities. After the communities are disturbed in different levels, the distribution of populations presents various change trends. The heavier human-caused disturbances, the more obvious aggregate nature of Castanopsis eyrei, Michelia maudiae and the less obvious aggregate nature of Syzygium buxifolium, Schima superba. On the low stand classes of trees, slight human-caused disturbance benefits the formation of aggregate distribution characteristics. On the middle stand classes of trees, the aggregate nature of trees,whose seeds, roots and branches have strong sprouting power,is more obvious in the intense human-caused disturbance.On the high stand classes of trees, the distribution pattern of population shows a random distribution.

2007, 15(1): 12-15.
Abstract(1385) PDF(1212)
Abstract:
Effects of different concentration of alcohol extracts from peganum multisectum Maxim Bobr, in which the seeds of edible podded pea were soaked, on seed germination,growth and physiological characters of the seedlings were investigated. The results show that the treatments with 0.10~0.40g/mL alcohol extracts from peganum multisectum Maxim Bobr significantly inhibit seed germination and seedling growth of edible podded pea. And the germination rate, germination index, amylase activity, plant height, root volume, dry weight of seedling and ratio of root to shoot are decreased. In addition the root vigor, nitrate reductase activity, contents of chlorophyll and soluble protein in leaves of the treated seedlings are decreased remarkably. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) are dropped significantly while peroxidase (POD) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA) content increased, the expression of isoperoxidase patterns in root is inhibited.

2007, 15(1): 16-18.
Abstract(1126) PDF(943)
Abstract:
N is the necessary nutrition for plant growth and NH4+,NO3- are two major forms when N is absorbed by plants. NH4+ and NO3- in wet deposition are two very important factors to compensate the N loss of agricultural ecosystem. In order to learn the situation of N in the wet deposition of Shanghai District and its effects on agricultural ecosystem in this area, the amount, forms and ecological effects of N in the wet deposition were studied. Results show that in recent years, the content of N nutrition in the precipitation is fairly high in the region, among which NO3-> is 2.587mg/L,NH4+ 2.155mg/L and TIN more than 4.000mg/L. The N imported to the agriculture ecosystem of the area by wet deposition is abundant, with 26.580kg/hm2·a NH4+. In 1999, NH4+ was 38.930kg/hm2, NO3- was 31.545kg/hm2. The average annual TIN imported from wet deposition is 58.123kg/hm2·a equal to 124.549kg/hm2·a CO(NH2)2 or 327.980kg/hm2·a NH4HCO3 and in 1999 the quantity of TIN was 77.750kg/hm2 equal to 166.607kg/hm2 CO(NH2)2 or 438.732kg/hm2 NH4HCO3, accouting for 35% of the national average application amount of fertilizer(N) in 1998.

2007, 15(1): 19-24.
Abstract(1161) PDF(1437)
Abstract:
Geographical information system(GIS)combined with Geostatistics were applied to reveal the spatial and temporal variability of soil fertility quality in the topsoil(0~20cm)in the northeastern area of China during last two decades.Soil fertility quality indices in this study include pH,organic matter,available P,available K and clay.The results show that soil pH,organic matter and available K significantly decrease during the past 20 years while the available P increases with the biggest variation coefficient.The areas with the first and second grade of soil fertility quality were over 80% in 1980,whereas nearly 98% belonged to the second and third grade in 2000.So the soil fertility quality has declined in this area due to the intensive cultivation in the past 20 years.
Studies on urease activities of rhziosphere soil of legume
DU Tian-Qing, MIAO Guo-Yuan
2007, 15(1): 25-27.
Abstract(1489) PDF(1076)
Abstract:
The research shows that soil urease activities are significantly correlated to the nutrition content,which can be used as the biological index to evaluate the soil fertility.Urease activity decreases gradually as soil becomes deep;soil urease activity amount increases as crop grows and root amount strengthens,which is significantly correlative to the amount of soil microbe.Soil urease activity of rhizosphere is higher than that of non-rhizosphere;soil urease activity of rhizosphere is apparently different in different kinds of Leguminosae herbage.Leguminosae herbage with deep roots such as alfalfa and sweet clover,leaves the deep soil plenty of root residue,which helps to improve the urease activity and soil fertilily of deep soil.
Quantitative studies on soil macropores under artificial Chinese pine(Pinus tabuleaformis Carr.)forest in loess hilly region
SHI Hui, WANG Feng, LI Yang-Yang
2007, 15(1): 28-32.
Abstract(1154) PDF(1113)
Abstract:
The radius,number and distribution of soil macropores under artificial Chinese pine(Pinus tabuleaformis Carr.)forest were quantitatively researched by the water breakthrough curve and Poiseulle equation.The radius of soil macropore,which is defined as the pores between field capacity and saturated water content,is 0.2~3 mm,of which the macropores with the radius larger than 1mm account for only 2.2% of total macropore number.And there are more macropres in the upper layers of soil profiles than those in the lower layers.The weighted mean radius of macropores in the upper layers is larger,and is gradually decreased along with the soil depth.The ratio between the macropore area and water through sectional area is 1.27%~18.13%,and the ratio is less than 5% for most samples.The slope position,gradient,shape and direction intensively affect soil macropores.Although soil macropores account for small portion of the soil volumes,there is a remarkable power function relation between the mean radius of soil macropores and water flux,saturated hydraulic conductivity.The mean radius determines 77% and 75% variances of water flux and saturated hydraulic onductivity,respectively.The mechanics of intensifying soil penetration by plants is the effect of preferential flow,which is produced by soil macropores formed by roots.

2007, 15(1): 33-36.
Abstract(1110) PDF(1061)
Abstract:
The experiment was conducted in the 26-year experiment in fixed plot of non-calcareous fluro-aquic soil in 2002 and 2003.The soil enzyme activities were measured.The results indicate that the activity of soil urease enzyme,protease enzyme,phosphatase enzyme and surase nzyme can be boosted by the application of organic fertilizer alone and the combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers for a long term.The results of correlation analysis show that the activity of soil urease enzyme and protease enzyme are significantly positively related to soil organic matter,total nitrogen,alkali-hydrolysis N;phosphatase enzyme is significantly positively related to soil organic matter,organic phosphorous,available phosphorous;surase enzyme is significantly positively related to soil organic matter.It is indicated that there is a close relationship between the soil fertilization and the above indexes,so they can be used as the biology index of soil fertility properties and quality.

2007, 15(1): 37-41.
Abstract(1156) PDF(984)
Abstract:
An elementary study was conducted to study the influence of a long-term utilization of different base-fertilizers on physical and chemical properties,and the bio-environment of soil in solar greenhouse.The results show that the soil treated by straw organic fertilizer owns good physical and chemical properties,and higher fertility.The enzyme activity of the treated soil is high with vigorous microorganism vitality and the ratio of bacteria to fungi is stable.The general soil fertility of soil treated by straw organic fertilizers is the highest among the three treatments.The long time application of the processed chook manure fertilizer induces the soil's acidity stronger,the soil nutrient content is the mediam of three treatments,the enzyme activity higher,the population of soil bacteria greater,but the fungi quantity excessive,which may cause the multiplication of germina.As the base-fertilizer,the slow-released fatty has positive influences on soil available nutrients.But the organic matter content,soil enzyme activity and microorganism activity of the treated soil are all lower.The cooperative application of organic-inorganic fertilizers ccording to the actual circumstance should be taken to attain the ideal results in the production.

2007, 15(1): 42-44.
Abstract(1079) PDF(954)
Abstract:
Effects of the coupling of straw(wheat)-return and different nitrogen amount (four levels)on photosynthetic characters and yield of wheat were studied under field condition.The results show that straw-return can improve photosynthesis of wheat,gets higher thousand-grain weight and grain yield compared to the normal(non-straw) cultivation.The rates of photosynthesis and transpiration of wheat of straw-return treatments are enhanced with the increasing of N fertilizer to a certain applied level.But they start to decrease when the nitrogen is applied more than 225kg/hm2.The coupling of straw-return and N fertilizer application can increase the wheat yield mainly through affecting the number of ears per hectare.The optimal amount of N fertilizer applied to wheat with straw-return is 225kg/hm2.

DU Hui-Ying, XUE Shi-Chuan, SUN Zhong-Fu
2007, 15(1): 49-51.
Abstract(1800) PDF(1191)
Abstract:
The effects of different application rates of humic acid compound fertilizer (HA) on nutrient accumulation and physiological characteristics of two-year old grape(Kyoho)were studied. The results show that different application rates of HA can affect the physiological activities and nutrient accumulation of grape.Superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity is improved significantly when the applicationrate of fertilizer is lower than 1.75g/plant, and decreases gradually when the application rate is higher than 1.75g/plant. The peroxidase(POD)activity reaches the highest point when the application rate of fertilizer is 3.50g/plant, then with the increasing of application rate, POD activity in HA treatment is decreased significantly. That of inorganic compound fertilizer treatment changes smoothly. The change of transpiration rate is consistent with that of POD activity. Compared to inorganic fertilizer, HA compound fertilizer can promote N,P,K to be absorbed and utilized by grape.

ZHANG Bu-Chong, LI Feng-Min, QI Guang-Ping
2007, 15(1): 58-62.
Abstract(1762) PDF(1787)
Abstract:
Studies on the regulated irrigation of spring wheat indicate that in an arid environment, the soil water potentials of spring wheat are lower in the regulated deficit irrigation treatments than that in the no-water-deficit control from jointing to booting, and 14.3~66.5mm more stored soil water is consumed under the regulated deficit irrigation. Significant differences are observed in yield, kernels per spike, and water use efficiency of spring wheat under the regulated deficit irrigation as compared to the control. The yield, kernels per spike, and water use efficiency of wheat are greatly improved rather than inhibited by water deficit. The proper soil water deficits of spring wheat are water deficit(45%~50% of field capacity) at the vegetative stage(jointing)and free from water deficit at the other growing periods such as booting, heading, and filling to pre-physiological maturity(65%~70% of field capacity). Correspondingly, the optimum total irrigation water is 330mm to 350mm. In addition, the regression analysis presents quadratic relationships between seasonal evapotranspiration and yield, water use efficiency of spring wheat under the regulated deficit irrigation.

ZHAO Li-Ying, DENG Xi-Ping, SHAN Lun
2007, 15(1): 63-66.
Abstract(3446) PDF(3074)
Abstract:
Modulated chlorophyll fluorescence induction kinetics was used to investigate the effects of altered water conditions on the photosynthetic functions of flag leaves of different winter wheat varieties. The photosynthetic functions include many chlorophyll luorescence parameters such as minimal fluorescence(Fo), maximal fluorescence (Fm) and the ratio of the variable fluorescence to maximal fluorescence Fv/Fm, the potential activities of PSⅡ(Fv/Fo),photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching (qNP). The results show that Fo and qNP increase, but Fv, Fm, Fv/Fm,Fv/Fo, qP, ETR reduce under the water stress. However, the result is contrary under the altered water onditions.It indicates that PS Ⅱ reaction center is destroyed by drought stress. When water is supplied at the jointing stage and grain-filling stage, or drought is supplied at two stages but water is supplied at other stages, qP is increased being helpful to enhance the open ratio of PS Ⅱ reaction center and making more photosynthetic energy to be used in the photosynthetic electron transport in order to improve the electron transport capacity. Meanwhile, the increase of non-photochemical quenching coefficient is helpful for the dissipation of excess light energy protecting the photosynthetic tissue and mitigating the stress of environment on photosynthesis.

LU Yi-Jun, WANG Hua-Sheng, GE Ying, CHANG Jie
2007, 15(1): 67-70.
Abstract(1159) PDF(884)
Abstract:
A comparing analysis on photosynthetic physioecological properties of Mosla chinensis under four moisture treatments with relative soil water contents of 100%,60%,40% and 20%, respectively, has proved that the diurnal mean values of net photosynthetic rate (PNmean),stomatic conductance (Gs) and water use efficiency(WUE) of plants are the highest under 60% soil moisture, the content of hlorophyll and the ratio of chlorophyll a to b are higher both under 100% and 60% treatments. Plants living in these moisture conditions have a stronger capacity to reduce the hurts caused by effulgence. The field study shows that the plants living in mesophytic to slightly humid environments grow well, but their colonizing ability in the environments is weak. These results indicate that the most suitable moisture niche for Mosla chinensis is mesophytic and slightly humid, and the fact that plants can not occupy the most suitable water habitat in fields may be one of the major reasons restricting the population to extent quickly.

JIN Yong-Huan, Don-Koo LEE, Ho-Sang KANG
2007, 15(1): 71-74.
Abstract(1650) PDF(1033)
Abstract:
Photosynthetic characters and water use efficiency of Pinus densiflora grown under three soil moisture conditions were examined for two-year-old pot-cultured seedlings. The results show that net photosynthetic rate(Pn), transpiration rate(Tr), stomatal conductance(Sc) and water use efficiency (WUE) of the seedlings and their diurnal variations of Pinus densiflora are all significantly different between light stress (LS) and moderate stress (MS) of soil moisture. Under the moderate stress of soil moisture, mid-day depression in net photosynthesis starts ahead by one hour and its duration is longer, both Pn and Sc are decreased, and the decrease in daily mean of WUE is less than that of Pn.

2007, 15(1): 75-77.
Abstract(1322) PDF(1112)
Abstract:
The effects of water stress on the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of the plum were studied by using plant efficiency analyser (PEA). The results indicate that chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of leaf are changed obviously under water stress. Fo is increased; Fm, Fv,
Fv/Fm, Fv/Fo, Fm/Fo and the area between the curves of Fo and Fm are decreased, suggesting that the primary light energy conversion of PSⅡ,the potential activities of PSⅡ,the potential photosynthetic activities, photosynthetic electron transport, etc. have been inhibited under water stress. The chlorophyll content, relative water content of plum leaves decrease under water stress. And the characteristics against water stress of three plums varieties are discussed.

2007, 15(1): 78-81.
Abstract(1376) PDF(930)
Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to measure the soil moisture,soil temperature,leaf's area,leaf's numbers,degradable states of films and yield of corn in the field covered by three kinds degradable films and one kind of ordinary film.The results indicate that the degradable films have the remarkable function of heat and humidity preservation in the pre-growing period of corn.And the leaf's area increases evidently though the leaf number does not change significantly.The liquid degradable film owns the quickest degradation without environmental pollution,and can be applied on the crop which has short growing period,such as vegetables.The biological degradable film decomposes slowly and shows an effective environmental protection function with a higher yield of corn than that of bare ground,so it can be used in the crop which has a long growing period.The bio-photo degradable film decomposing most slowly can increase the yield evidently though its environmental protection function is not evident,so it is suitable to the crop which has a long procreation age.

2007, 15(1): 87-90.
Abstract(1200) PDF(1086)
Abstract:
In order to discuss the effects of climate change on the growth of rebirth-paddy,the paper analyzed the ecological conditions of rebirth-paddy,the changing characteristics of sunlight and temperature and the climate-produce-potential of sunlight and temperature in the town of Zhuxi.The results show that sunlight and temperature are the main factors limiting the yield of rebirth-paddy.The average temperature and minimum temperature are most closely related to the yield.And sunshine and sky coverage are other two important factors relating to the yield of rebirth-paddy.The resource of light and heat is abundant in the research region,and the change of climate-produce-potential of sunlight and temperature is large,but there still exists a large gapbetween actual yield and climate-produce-potential of sunlight and temperature.The yield can be increased through breed-improving and agriculture measures.

2007, 15(1): 91-95.
Abstract(1083) PDF(1100)
Abstract:
The potted experiment of cucumber in greenhouse was conducted to study the effects of soil water status on leaf area expansion and photosynthetic characteristics.The results show that there are three growing phases during leaves expansion of cucumber,exponential growth phase(EG),linear scale growth phase(LSG)and stability constant growth phase(SCG).With the soil water content increasing,the leaf area(LA)enlarges significantly,and the maximum of leaf growth rate(LGR)appears obviously early.The relative expansion rate(RER)of leaves increases at the EG phase,but gradually reduces at the LSG and SCG phases.Soil moisture significantly influences the leaf expansion and photosynthetic characteristics.During the proceeding of leaf growth,the chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate(Pn)increase gradually with significant differences among treatments.The diurnal variations of Pn of all treatments demonstrate a single peak curve.The apparent quantum yield(AQY)and carboxylation efficiency(CE)of cucumber leaves among different treatments show significant differences.

2007, 15(1): 96-98.
Abstract(2062) PDF(2227)
Abstract:
Effects of cadmium on alfalfa seed germination and growth were studied.The results show that the effects of cadmium on the germination rate of seeds are not significant when Cd2+ concentration ranges from 0mg/kg to 10mg/kg,but the effects on the germinating energy are significant.Once Cd2+ concentration is up to 30mg/kg,the germination of seeds is evidently inhibited with significantly decreased germinating energy and rate.Cd2+ with different concentrations all can inhibit the growth of buds and roots significantly,and has stronger inhibition on root than on plumule.Basically,with the increase of Cd2+ concentration,the inhibiting effect is enforced,and the index of seed vigor is decreased.The growth of seedlings is almost inhibited completely while Cd2+ concentration is up to 50mg/kg.

2007, 15(1): 99-101.
Abstract(1180) PDF(1159)
Abstract:
Changes of physiological and biochemical characteristics of Citrus grandis Osbeck cv. Guanximiyou plants under salt stress were studied in hydroponics culture experiments.The results show that with the increase of salinity and treated time,the root vitality,relative water content (RWC),pH value of cell sap in leaves and the contents of photosynthetic pigments and amino acid decrease,but the macromolecule leakage value and the content of malondialdedyed (MDA)in leaves increase.There is a significant correlation between physiological and biochemical characteristics.The root vitality and the content of MDA in leaves are sensitive to salt stress and the decrease of root vitality may be the earliest response of Guanximiyou pomelo plants to the salt stress.

2007, 15(1): 145-148.
Abstract(1216) PDF(1119)
Abstract:
The soil quality was evaluated by using four schemes with Arcgis, in which the index weight was determined with correlation analysis method, the index membership degree with membership function. Results show that the soil quality evaluation based on GIS is fast and accurate. The difference between the results evaluated by the total contents of soil nutrients and by the soil available nutrients is not obvious and the two index schemes can be used alternatively. The results evaluated by soil organic matter and salt contents present similar outcomes to that by the comprehensive index system including soil total nutrients, available nutrients, organic matter, salt content, groundwater level and mineralization degree. Therefore, the organic matter and salt contents can be used to evaluate the soil quality in the case of limited evaluation data.
