Damage to mangroves from extreme cold in early 2008 in southern China

通讯作者Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected])2008年初,我国南方19个省经历了50年一遇的持续低温雨雪冰冻天气。极端气候对华南沿海各省的红树林区造成不同程度的危害。2008年3月,在我国南方各省红树林区的10个代表性地点,对这次寒害造成的红树植物伤害程度进行了系统的调查。结果表明:冬季低温对红树林的影响极为显著,特别是在低纬度的海南、广西和广东湛江,由于极端低温正值夜间退潮,对红树林的影响更为显著;在纬度较高的福建,本地红树种类秋茄(Kandelia obovata)、桐花树(Aegiceras corniculatum)和白骨壤(Avicennia marina)及引种的木榄(Bruguiera gymnorrhiza)等,由于长期适应于冬季较低的气温或在种植前经过抗寒锻炼,具有较强的抗寒能力。各地主要红树植物中,广布种秋茄、桐花树和白骨壤最为耐寒,其耐寒性均大于红树科的木榄、海莲(Bruguiera sexangula)和红海榄(Rhizophora stylosa)。海桑(Sonneratia caseolaris)对温度的敏感性最强,抗寒能力最低,因此,即使在其原产地海南也受到较为严重的寒害,在纬度更高的引种地出现大面积受害甚至全部死亡,而从孟加拉国引种的无瓣海桑(Sonneratia apetala)却显示出一定的抗寒能力。同一地点的红树植物幼苗的抗寒能力低于大树。此次寒害也造成了苗圃场的种苗大量死亡,成熟的植株提前落花落果,这势必会影响后继一两年内红树林的自然更新和人工造林。因此,在未来红树林造林或人工引种中,一定要考虑到红树植物的抗寒能力。国家自然科学基金(30671646和30700092);厦门大学“闽江学者”启动基

易变山羊草中抗虫相关基因cDNA部分片段的克隆及序列分析

易变山羊草是小麦近缘种植物,对禾谷孢囊线虫(Heteroderaavenae)、根结线虫(Meloidogynenaasi)都具有很高的抗性[1]。本实验根据小麦另一近缘种植物节节麦的抗虫基因Cre3保守区核苷酸序列设计合成正向引物,通过cDNA末端快速扩增技术(rapid amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)[2

Study on Correlation between Marine Environmental Test and Accelerated Tests in Laboratory for Ship Coatings——Coating Systems for Marine Atmosphere

采用光泽-色泽仪、涂膜粉化率测定仪、fdIr,SEM及AfM等现代测试分析手段,对海洋大气区7种常用舰船涂料体系在实际海洋环境暴露试验以及室内人工加速老化及腐蚀试验前后的涂层性能变化进行了对比分析,并结合厦门地区的气象环境谱探索了实验室加速试验与实际海洋大气暴露试验的相关性。Seven ship coating systems were exposed in marine atmospheric environment and accelerated weathering tests in lab.Some modern analyses,such as gloss and color measurement,coat chalk rating,precise thickness meter,FDIR,SEM,AFM were applied to characterize the properties of the coating systems.The results of performance change before and after exposure were compared.The weather environmental spectrum of Xiamen area was also combined for discussion of the correlation between marine environmental exposure tests and accelerated weathering tests in lab
