HE Zhoujian, YE Meng, HUAN Jie, LEI Yuting, LI Kaitai, XU Qiuyu
2023, 44(6): 1-6. doi: 10.12172/202303060002
Abstract:
Based on the literature, this paper reveals the hotspots and trend analysis of Phellodendron research. The literatures of academic journals from 1959 to 2021 were searched on CNKI with “Huang Bai (Phellodendron)” as the key word, and the literatures were analyzed with the visual statistics of CNKI and CiteSpace software. The results showed that: (1) There were three stages in the research literature of Phellodendron in the past 60 years: germination stage, rapid growth stage and decline stage. From 1959 to 1997, the research literature of Phellodendron was in the germination stage, with an average number of articles below 10, and even the number was zero in many years. From 1998 to 2007, it was the rapid growth stage, and the number of articles published increased rapidly, reaching the peak of 57 articles in 2007. From 2008 to 2021, the number of published articles decreased year by year, with the lowest value reaching 22, but the number was still higher than that of the first stage. (2) The research level of Phellodendron was higher than other fields, with emphasis on traditional Chinese pharmacology and traditional Chinese medicine. (3) Currently, the current research focus of Phellodendron was its medicinal value and medicinal components, and the future research trend would focus on the development and utilization of quality on the basis of medicinal value. The single development and utilization model of Phellodendron can easily lead to a short development, which would restrict the research progress of Phellodendron.

Research Progress on the Divergence Problem of Tree Ring Growth-Climate Relationship
CAI Miao, LU Jie
2023, 44(6): 7-13. doi: 10.12172/202303270002
Abstract:
The response of forest ecosystems to global climate change has always been a concern. Since the middle of the 20th century, the abnormal decrease in forest growth index and temperature sensitivity have been observed in the records of tree ring width and density in many high-latitude and high-altitude areas, which is also known as the "divergence problem". The "divergence problem" has a significant impact on forest ecosystem and the reconstruction of tree-ring paleoclimate. This article reviews the literature reports on the "divergence problem" at home and abroad, starting from the discovery of the divergence problem (including the location of the divergence problem and the tree species involved), and summarizes its causes. It is found that the current research on "divergence problem" mainly concentrates in middle and high latitudes and high altitude regions, but less in the middle and low latitudes. At present, there are still significant controversies about the explanation of the causes of the "divergence problem", which mainly include drought stress, "temperature threshold", "tail end effect", and "Arctic darkening". Therefore, it is necessary to further evaluate the stability of different tree species and different regions in response to climate change, and further determine the occurrence scope of the "divergence problem". At the same time, it is necessary to find corresponding solutions to the identified "divergence problem" to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction of tree-ring climate history.

HUANG Xuemei, HUANG Yi, JIA Zexu, CHEN Dechao
2023, 44(6): 23-31. doi: 10.12172/202302050001
Abstract:
Paeonia suffruticosa is a traditional medicinal herb, which has uniquely effects on relieving antispasmodic spasms and treating conditions such as stroke and abdominal pain. With the increasing demand for P. suffruticosa bark in China's medicinal market and the sharp decline of wild resources due to extreme climate, it is urgent to introduce and cultivate P. suffruticosa in suitable areas. Based on the distribution records of P. suffruticosa in China, combined with environmental factors, the potential distribution area of P. suffruticosa was simulated by MaxEnt model. The environmental factors affecting the distribution of P. suffruticosa were obtained by using the contribution rate of environmental factors and knife cutting method. The results showed that the AUC value of P. suffruticosa training set data was 0.979, indicating that the model was accurate and the simulation results were reliable. At present, the high suitable area of P. suffruticosa was mainly distributed in the eastern part of Sichuan province, with an area of 23.90 × 104 km2, accounting for 7.37% of the total suitable area. The most important environmental factor affecting the geographical distribution of P. suffruticosa was annual precipitation. Under the future climate change scenarios, the low suitable area of P. suffruticosa would increase significantly, and the high suitable area of P. suffruticosa would decrease significantly. The mass center of the high suitable area of P. suffruticosa would move to the northeast, and its migration range would be larger under the scenario of a higher CO2 concentration emission. The results provide a theoretical basis for the rational and repeatable development and utilization of P. suffruticosa varieties, as well as large-scale introduction and cultivation.

2023, 44(6): 32-39. doi: 10.12172/202308100001
Abstract:
Artificial cypress forest (Cupressus funebris) is the main forest type in the hilly areas of central Sichuan. Determine its carbon content and biomass model, and provide basic data for accurately estimating vegetation carbon storage in artificial cypress forest ecosystems, and further studying the carbon cycle and carbon sink size of the ecosystem. In this article, the carbon content and biomass of the entire plant and various organs of cypress were obtained through field sample collection and indoor analysis testing in Jintang County and Yanting County (a total of 56 sample plants were collected), and the biomass model was established. The results showed that: (1) The biomass of each organ of cypress was arranged in the order: stem (46.45%)>root (22.87%)>branch (15.80%)>leaf (8.56%)>bark (6.33%). The aboveground biomass accounted for 77.13% of the total biomass, while the belowground biomass accounted for 22.87%. (2) The total average carbon content coefficient of a single cypress tree was 0.4903 ± 0.0197. The carbon content coefficient of each organ was arranged in the order: branch>stem>leaf>bark>root. The carbon content coefficient of the stem was significantly different from that of the root and bark (P<0.05), while that of the root was not significantly different from that of the bark (P>0.05), that of the bark was only not significantly different from that of the root (P>0.05), and that of the branches and leaves was not significantly different from that of the stem (P>0.05). (3) There were slight differences in the carbon content coefficients of various organs of cypress in different places, ranging from 0.44 to 0.57. The carbon content coefficients of the entire plant and organs of cypress in Jintang County were significantly higher than those in Yanting County. (4) Whether it was univariate or binary, the best fitting effects for various organs and the entire plant of cypress were exponential models and power functions, with R2 ranging from 0.815 to 0.939. And the fitting effect of the whole plant, aboveground parts, and trunk was significantly better than that of the bark, branches, and leaves.(5) This study can provide basic data for further correction of carbon metrology parameters in IPCC method and accurately estimation of forest carbon storage.

LIU Lizhi, HAN Zhen
2023, 44(6): 48-54. doi: 10.12172/202303020002
Abstract:
Quantitative monitoring of ecological quality changes and revealing the driving forces behind them are of great significance for ecological environmental protection and sustainable development. Taking Shanghai as an example, the ecological quality of Shanghai from 2013 to 2019 was analyzed by constructing the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI), and the spatial-temporal change of the ecological quality of Shanghai was studied by combining the transfer matrix. The driving factors affecting the ecological quality of Shanghai were analyzed by using the geographical detector. The results showed that the ecological quality of Shanghai changed significantly from 2013 to 2019, and the decline rate of RSEI is 17.19%. Socioeconomics, human activities and natural environment all had strong impacts on RSEI. In the single-factor detection, population density had the greatest impact, and the interaction of the two-factor detection was stronger than that of the single-factor detection. The research results can provide theoretical support for ecological environment protection in Shanghai.

LIU Size, LIU Hongqiang, HUANG Xuemei, WANG Xue, YANG Jingyu, CHEN Dechao
2023, 44(6): 69-76. doi: 10.12172/202303160002
Abstract:
The alpine marsh wetland in Maixi Township, Zoige County, which had been carrying out the water-level elevation and vegetation restoration projects for many years, were taken as the research object. Soil samples of different soil layers (0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, 40-60 cm, 60-80 cm) were collected from the heavily degraded (HD) wetland, non-degraded (UD) wetland and wetlands under different restoration models, and the changes of soil organic carbon compositions and their relationships with soil factors were analyzed. The results showed that different restoration measures could cause significant differences in the total organic carbon contents of degraded wetlands soil among different soil layers, but the replanting-grass-seed measure could not significantly improve the total organic carbon content in each soil layer. The restoration measures had no significant effects on the contents of heavy fraction organic carbon and light fraction organic carbon in degraded wetland soil. Based on the comprehensive RDA analysis, the single replanting-grass-seed measure could not fundamentally improve the wetland degradation in a short period of time, and the water-level elevation measure could improve the soil carbon fractions close to the non-degraded wetland. Soil TN was the most critical factor affecting the soil organic carbon composition and can be used as a key indicator to reflect the recovery of alpine marsh wetland.

2023, 44(6): 77-82. doi: 10.12172/202302140001
Abstract:
Based on the data of Henan Forestry Statistical Yearbook from 2000 to 2018, the stability of Henan forestry industrial structure systematically analyzed by using the vector angle model. Using the grey correlation analysis method, the correlation degree between the three forestry industries and the total output value in Henan Province was calculated respectively, and then the dynamic change law of its forestry industrial structure was analyzed. Through the GM(1,1) model, the future change trend of output value and output value of the three major forestry industries in Henan Province was predicted and analyzed. The results showed that the forestry structure in Henan Province changed greatly from 2000 to 2007, and the forestry industrial structure was relatively stable from 2007 to 2018. During the period from 2000 to 2018, the correlation between the output value of the secondary industry and the total output value of the forestry industry was the highest, followed by the primary industry and the tertiary industry, and a "213" industrial structure development pattern was formed. But in the next decade, with the rapid development of the tertiary industry, its output value will exceed that of the primary industry, thus forming a new “231” industrial structure development pattern.

2023, 44(6): 83-87. doi: 10.12172/202303290001
Abstract:
Studying and clarifying the potential distribution of Atrijuglans hetaohei in Qinba Mountain area is of great significance to formulate the early monitoring, warning and control measures of this insect. Based on the actual distribution points and bioclimatic data in the current scenario, the maximum entropy model (MaxEnt) and ArcGIS were used to predict the potential distribution areas of A. hetaohei in Qinba Mountain area. The ROC curve was used to detect the accuracy of the model and the knife cutting method was used to screen the dominant environmental variables. The results showed that: (1) The average AUC of MaxEnt model was 0.948, and the standard deviation was 0.008, indicating that the prediction effect reached a "good" level. (2) The wettest monthly precipitation, the mean temperature of the driest season, the minimum temperature of the coolest month, altitude, the precipitation of the coolest season, isotherm, the precipitation of the driest season and the mean temperature of the coolest season were the main environmental variables that dominated the potential distribution of A. hetaohei. (3) The high suitable area of A. hetaohei was mainly concentrated in the central Qinba Mountain area, and distributed in six provinces and cities, including Henan, Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and Chongqing, among which Gansu Province had the smallest area (0.13×104 km2) and Shaanxi Province had the largest area (4.8×104 km2).

2023, 44(6): 88-94. doi: 10.12172/202302280002
Abstract:
Fresh fruit of Zanthoxylum was packaged in non-vacuum and dark environment, and the total fagaramide content, volatile oil content and sensory quality were determined periodically at different storage temperatures (20, 4, 25 and 40 ℃). The dynamic models of amides and volatile oil during storage were established respectively, which provided reference for quality control in processing, storage, transportation and sales of Zanthoxylum after harvest. The results showed that the shelf life model of Zanthoxylum armatum fagaramide, Zanthoxylum armatum volatile oil, Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim fagaramide, Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim volatile oil were established by Arrhenius equation. The activation energy Ea was 52.68, 50.00, 49.85, 50.62 kJ·mol−1, respectively, and the natural logarithm lnk0 was 18.13, 16.98, 17.15, 17.08, respectively. After verification, the established models can predict the shelf life of fresh Zanthoxylum with total fagaramide content and volatile oil content as quality indexes.

In the treatment 4, the cuttings were soaked with 200 mg·L−1 IBA rooting agent for 5 min and then cultured in the NFT single-layer flat structure, the root germination time was the earliest. In the treatment 3, the cuttings were soaked in 300 mg·L−1 NAA rooting agent for 5 min, and then cultured in NFT mode single-layer flat structure, the rooting was the latest. The types of rooting agents were the most important factor affecting the earliest rooting time and root quantity in hydrangea hydroponics cutting results, and the type of hydroponics equipment was the most important factor affecting the average rooting rate and root length growth, among which the "A type" structure of the aerosol culture mode was the best for cutting and rooting. Among different rooting agents, IBA was the most beneficial to the early rooting time, but ABT was the most beneficial to the growth of cuttings, and low concentration of NAA was the most beneficial to the increase of root mass. The concentration of rooting agent did not affect the rooting rate of Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer' hydroponic cutting.

2023, 44(6): 132-136. doi: 10.12172/202212270001
Abstract:
In order to screen effective and low toxic biological pesticides, the laboratory efficacy test of four biological pesticides against the 3-5 instar larvae of Phauda flammans was carried out. The results showed that the four biological pesticides showed obvious toxicity to Phauda flammans, and the toxicity of abamectin-aminomethyl was the strongest. It had obvious toxicity after 1 day at 80000 times the concentration, and the LC50 was 10.859 mg/L. The LC50 of Bacillus thuringiensis, HearNPV and Beauveria bassiana were 166.619 mg/L, 121.140 mg/L and 233.848 mg/L after 10 days, 5 days and 8 days, respectively. From the perspective of the quick effect of pesticides, the content of abamectin-aminomethyl>Bacillus thuringiensis>HearNPV>Beauveria bassiana. From the perspective of the persistence of pesticides, the content of abamectin-aminomethyl>HearNPV>Bacillus thuringiensis>Beauveria bassiana. To sum up, abamectin-aminomethyl was the most appropriate pesticide with high efficiency and low toxicity for the control of Phauda flammans.
