Potential impacts of logging on intertidal infaunal communities within the Kitimat River estuary

ABSTRACT

Efficiently evaluating industrial activities plays an essential role in determining the extent to which human–ecosystem interactions may lead to species loss, disrupted community dynamics, and degraded ecosystems. Intertidal habitats offer a unique opportunity in this regard, as they are species rich ecosystems that exhibit rapid community turnover and pronounced responses to ecological disturbances. In an attempt to use these dynamic communities to identify the impact storage of harvested logs is having on the Kitimat River estuary, surveys evaluating the biotic and abiotic conditions within surrounding mudflats were conducted. The intertidal mudflats of the Kitimat River Estuary varied spatially and temporally, and with differences in the infaunal community, as well as the abiotic sediment conditions between reference mudflats, and mudflats potentially impacted by logging activities. While these differences were pronounced, we cannot at this time link these differences to the logging activities at impacted sites. We also observed evidence that suggests that the infaunal community of these intertidal mudflats have changed substantially since the 1970s, with the establishment of a community of polychaetes, as well as the appearance of the invasive clam Mya arenaria, and the invasive Cumacea Nippoleucon hinumensis. Beyond contrasting impacted and reference mudflats, the current health of these mudflats, as indicated by the infaunal community assemblage, is currently unclear. More research is required to determine if organic enrichment has occurred at these habitats, as well as to further elucidate the current health of these intertidal mudflats.

不同生境下30种藓类植物茎的比较解剖学研究

使用石蜡切片法,对采自不同生境下的30种藓类植物茎的横切面进行了比较解剖学研究.结果表明:(1)30种藓类植物茎的形状、细胞形状、表皮层数及厚度、皮部是否分化及细胞层数、中轴有无形状以及所占比例等特征因种类不同而差异明显;(2)不同水分环境下藓类植物茎的解剖结构表现出不同的特征:旱生环境下的藓类植物,茎表皮细胞排列紧密、细胞壁强烈增厚或增厚明显,有的具内外皮部分化并且外皮部细胞胞壁增厚;荫湿环境下的藓类植物,其茎表皮细胞多圆形或椭圆形、胞壁稍增厚,表皮及外皮部细胞层数比旱生环境下的藓类植物少;水生环境下的藓类植物,细胞胞壁薄,表皮细胞排列不紧密,茎皮部无内外皮部分化.表明藓类植物茎的表皮及外皮部细胞层数、细胞壁厚度与生境的相关性较大.

对空气比热容比测定实验的研究

文章通过使用气体比热容比测定仪就仪器的烧瓶容积、大气压强以及空气湿度对空气比热容比测定的影响进行了研究，得出了以下结论：凡仪器的烧瓶容积大小与设计值(2645ml)一致或接近的仪器，其比热容比的误差较小，反之，其比热容比的误差较大；大气压强对比热容比的测定无影响；空气相对湿度大的其比热容比的测量值就会变小。
