Patterns of silver eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) sex ratio in a catchment

Abstract –  Changes in the numbers and size-class structure of European silver eels, Anguilla anguilla , in the River Frémur (France) were examined over a 9-year period after installation of downstream eel passes. The number of silver eels migrating downstream peaked in 1999, then decreased strongly and steadily after 2000, reaching relatively low levels. At the same time, a gradual shift in the silver eel sex ratio from a dominance of males (size from 270 to 442 mm, age from 3 to 6 years) to females (size from 366 to 1112 mm, age from 4 to 9 years) was recorded. Possible explanations for the escapement patterns observed are environmental sex determination and the installation of eel passes on the main hydraulic engineering structures in 1992 and 1996.     

Effects of straw and silicon soil amendments on some foliar and stem-base diseases in pot-grown winter wheat

Four foliar and two stem-base pathogens were inoculated onto wheat plants grown in different substrates in pot experiments. Soils from four different UK locations were each treated in three ways: (i) straw incorporated in the field at 10 t ha⁻¹ several months previously; (ii) silicon fertilization at 100 mg L⁻¹ during the experiment; and (iii) no amendments. A sand and vermiculite mix was used with and without silicon amendment. The silicon treatment increased plant silica concentrations in all experiments, but incorporating straw was not associated with raised plant silica concentrations. Blumeria graminis and Puccinia recondita were inoculated by shaking infected plants over the test plants, followed by suitable humid periods. The silicon treatment reduced powdery mildew ( B. graminis ) substantially in sand and vermiculite and in two of the soils, but there were no effects on the slight infection by brown rust ( P. recondita ). Phaeosphaeria nodorum and Mycosphaerella graminicola were inoculated as conidial suspensions. Leaf spot caused by P. nodorum was reduced in silicon-amended sand and vermiculite; soil was not tested. Symptoms of septoria leaf blotch caused by M. graminicola were reduced by silicon amendment in a severely infected sand and vermiculite experiment but not in soil or a slightly infected sand and vermiculite experiment. Oculimacula yallundae (eyespot) and Fusarium culmorum (brown foot rot) were inoculated as agar plugs on the stem base. Severity of O. yallundae was reduced by silicon amendment of two of the soils but not sand and vermiculite; brown foot rot symptoms caused by F. culmorum were unaffected by silicon amendment. The straw treatment reduced severity of powdery mildew but did not detectably affect the other pathogens. Both straw and silicon treatments appeared to increase plant resistance to all diseases only under high disease pressure.

不同硒源对大麦农艺性状的影响及富硒效应研究

为了探明不同硒源对大麦的效应,对六个大麦品种(系)分别施用三种硒源(富硒复混肥、硒矿粉、亚硒酸钠)后的农艺性状及籽粒含硒量进行了分析,结果表明:①不同硒源均能提高大麦籽粒的含硒量,其增加量为0.016～0.087 mg/kg,增幅为14.4%～78.0%,富硒复混肥的效果较优;②不同大麦品种(系)施硒的籽粒含硒量为0.133～0.187mg/kg,比对照提高10.36%～80.65%;③施硒对大麦生育期无明显影响,但株高和穗长有增加趋势,千粒重有降低趋势.

Processes of collating a European fisheries database to meet the objectives of the European Union Water Framework Directive

Abstract  FIsh Database of European Streams, a common database for the FAME project, was merged using existing data on electric fishing and environmental data. FIsh Database of European Stream is a relational database with eight tables. Metrics based on classification of fish species into guilds were calculated, and provided in separate tables. FIsh Database of European Stream contained information about 150 freshwater fish species, from 12 countries, 17 ecoregions, 40 main river regions, 2651 rivers and 8228 sites. Examples of data coverage and use are given. Relationships between environmental variables were illustrated using principal component analysis, which resulted in three environmental components – latitude, size and altitude. Environmental component scores were correlated with fish metrics used in the European Fish Index. Results exemplify how fish guilds reflect gradients in environmental variation. Benefits and problems concerning standardisation and data availability at the global level are discussed.     

黄河宁夏段水环境承载力的计算

水环境承载力是衡量河段能够容纳污水及污染物最大能力的重要指标.应用一维水质模型,计算黄河宁夏段水环境承载力,结果表明:以《地表水环境质量标准》(GB3838-2002)Ⅲ类水体标准计,黄河宁夏段化学需氧量(CODCr)的容量为562.0～716.0 t/d,氨氮(NH3-N)的容量为28.2～32.0 t/d.该计算结果为控制黄河宁夏段污染物排放总量提供了可靠依据.     

环境基准值的科学研究与我国环境标准的修订

对环境基准和环境标准在概念上进行了辨析,论述了环境基准科学研究中需要把握的几个核心问题,其中最为关键的一步是不同类型生态受体的选取,因此环境基准值应该是基于不同保护对象的多目标函数或一个范围值。鉴于我国环境标准迫切需要修订这一实际,呼吁加强环境基准的研究,尤其是要开展一次国家层面上的土壤环境基准的系统研究。
