| 1 | Mitigation of atrazine,S-metolachlor,and diazinon using common emergent aquatic vegetation显示文摘By the year 2050, the population of the United States is expected to reach over 418 million,while the global population will reach 9.6 billion. To provide safe food and fiber, agriculture must balance pesticide usage against impacts on natural resources. Challenges arise when storms cause runoff to be transported to aquatic receiving systems. Vegetated systems such as drainage ditches and constructed wetlands have been proposed as management practices to alleviate pesticide runoff. Twelve experimental mesocosms(1.3 × 0.71 × 0.61 m) were filled with sediment and planted with a monoculture of one of three wetland plant species(Typha latifolia, Leersia oryzoides, and Sparganium americanum).Three mesocosms remained unvegetated to serve as controls. All mesocosms were amended with 9.2 ± 0.8 μg/L, 12 ± 0.4 μg/L, and 3.1 ± 0.2 μg/L of atrazine, metolachlor, and diazinon, respectively, over a 4 hr hydraulic retention time to simulate storm runoff.Following the 4 hr amendment, non-amended water was flushed through mesocosms for an additional 4 hr. Outflow water samples were taken hourly from pre-amendment through8 hr, and again at 12, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hr post-amendment. L. oryzoides and T. latifolia had mean atrazine, metolachlor, and diazinon retentions from 51%–55% for the first 4 hr of the experiment. Aside from S. americanum and atrazine(25% retention), unvegetated controls had the lowest pesticide retention(17%–28%) of all compared mesocosms. While native aquatic vegetation shows promise for mitigation of pesticide runoff, further studies increasing the hydraulic retention time for improved efficiency should be examined. | Matthew T.Moore Martin A.Locke Robert Krǒger | 2017 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2017，29，6： | 2 |
| 2 | 高海拔和高纬度生境的相似性:综述以及青藏高原鸟类肾上腺皮质激素对应激反应的初步研究(英文)显示文摘在介绍性教科书、保护计划甚至基础著作中 ,常常将北极区和高山生物群系等同看待。高山和北极区生物群系无树的广阔区域 ,草本和非禾本科草本植物的初级生产力总量低 ,食物网单一。此外 ,除热带高山生境可能有例外 ,该两种环境都具有明显的季节性。但是 ,对于这些表面上相似的环境以前很少进行比较 ,而两者之间应具有明显的不同。我们假定 :如果环境相似 ,栖息在这些环境里的鸟类会对意外的应激刺激表现出相似的反应。相反 ,如果这些环境很不同 ,那么鸟类对剧烈应激的反应可进行调整以适应当地的不同环境 ,而不应一成不变。本文初步报道了青藏高原某些繁殖鸟类的肾上腺皮质反应 ,并与已发表的栖息于北极区苔原生态系统鸟类的数据进行了比较。白腰雪雀 (Onychostruthustaczanowskii)和棕颈雪雀 (Pyrgilaudaruficollis)被认为是高山代表物种 ,随着标准化捕捉 -处理 -抑制的应激刺激 ,它们表现出典型的血浆肾上腺皮质酮含量升高。但是 ,不同于许多北极区的代表物种 ,它们对应激的肾上腺皮质反应并无任何季节性变化。研究结果表示 :生活在高山和北极区环境下的鸟类物种可能具有激素反应以适应其生存环境所施加的生态挑战 [动物学报 49(1) :1~ 19,2 0 0 3]。 | Matthew I.
