森林蓄积量与生物量转换的CVD模型研究

森林生物量是森林监测中的一项重要内容.在我国,有关森林蓄积方面的资料比较丰富,而生物量方面的资料比较缺乏.因此,将森林蓄积转换为生物量的研究具有现实意义,也是近年来研究的热点问题.研究了用相对生长法表示的材积和蓄积模型,导出了单木材积与其生物量的关系模型以及区域蓄积量与生物量的关系模型,即CVD模型,并说明了实际的建模过程.同时,利用实例将CVD模型与现行模型进行比较,给出了一些有益的结论.     

Decapod crustaceans of the Delaware Bay area

Summary

Based on samples from 1968 to 1976 with a variety of collecting gear, 37 species belonging to 18 families of decapod crustaceans are reported from the Delaware Bay area. The species are divided into four major groups based on life habit and/or habitat (nektonic, benthic, commensal, and semi-terrestrial) and their distribution, relative abundance, and general ecology are described. It is concluded that the decapod crustaceans have closer affinities with taxa from the cool end of the Virginian province. Moreover, it is also concluded that our list is a conservative number of species because most collecting was conducted with grabs as dredge hauls which were primarily restricted to river oyster beds.     

Morphometric structure and allometry profiles of the giant red shrimp Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Risso, 1827) in the eastern Mediterranean

The relative growth of body parts, such as abdomen, uropod, scaphocerite, telson, rostrum, and the third pereiopod of males and females of the giant red shrimp (Aristaeomorpha foliacea, Risso, 1827) was studied in samples from the Greek Ionian Sea (eastern Mediterranean) in 1999–2000. These were related to carapace length, sex and size of individuals. A length–weight relationship was also obtained. In general, a negative allometry of swimming appendages (uropod, scaphocerite), abdomen (related to metabolic processes), and length of the third pereiopod (involved in walking ability) was observed in both sexes. Growth of the telson was positively allometric in females and negatively allometric in males. Asynchronous growth of the male rostrum was also noted. Appendages were proportionally longer in juveniles than in adults of both sexes. A strong negative allometry between length–weight for both sexes was shown, and females were heavier than males in all sampled months.
