The isolation of three new triterpene saponins 3beta-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-L-2-O-acetylarabinopyranosylolean-12-en-28-oic acid 28-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl ester (2), 3beta-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-O-arabinopyranosylurs-12-en-28-oic acid (3), and 3beta-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-O-galactopyranosylurs-12-en-28-oic acid (4) together with five known saponins and one flavonoid glycoside from the aqueous infusion of Ilex amara (Vellozo) Loes. leaves is reported. All structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including the concerted application of one-dimensional (1H, TOCSY, 13C, and 13C DEPT NMR) and two-dimensional NMR techniques (DQF-COSY, HSQC, and HMBC).  相似文献   

First decadal response to treatment in a disturbance-based silviculture experiment in Maine     

Justin E. ArseneaultMike R. Saunders  Robert S. SeymourRobert G. Wagner 《Forest Ecology and Management》2011,262(3):404-412

Disturbance-based silvicultural systems generally seek to promote complex stand structures that are consistent with temporal and spatial patterns of natural disturbance while allowing for the sustainable harvest of timber. Gap-based harvesting systems are commonly used within this framework because they can be designed to approximate the frequencies and spatial patterns of a wide array of disturbance regimes. Patterns in stand-level growth, sapling recruitment and regeneration response were examined for one such gap-based system, the Acadian Forest Ecosystem Research Program (AFERP) in central Maine, that was designed to emulate the annual 1% disturbance frequency typical of the northeastern United States and Canada. A decade after treatment, stand-level differences in basal area growth and density between two gap-based treatments and an unharvested control were not statistically significant, largely due to low replication, but within-stand growth and regeneration responses differed strongly by spatial position relative to harvest gaps. Regeneration of shade-tolerant and intolerant species increased regardless of gap size, likely a response to increasing light availability from canopy openings due to harvesting and mortality. Further, there was evidence of gap size effects on sapling recruitment as large gaps (>1000 m²) favored the growth and survival of mid-successional species such as red maple and white pine, while small gaps (<1000 m²) favored late-succession species such as eastern hemlock and spruce. Overstory growth rates also differed by both species and position relative to harvest gaps with most species growing best in gaps and better along gap edges than in adjacent forest. Notably, overstory growth rates for white pine were not influenced by spatial position. These results suggest harvest gaps may have significant growth and regeneration impacts in adjacent, yet unharvested areas, which could lead to profound differences in forest development over the rotation. Obviously, longer-term studies of gap-based systems are needed to more clearly elucidate these responses.  相似文献   

Pollutant loadings from solvay waste beds to lower Ninemile Creek,New York

Concentrations of Cl, total ammonia (TNH₃), NO₃ plus NO₂, total P (TP), and soluble reactive P (SRP) were measured at two sites, located 5 km apart, on Ninemile Creek, New York, for a period of more than 8 mo. The sites bound the most recently formed Solvay waste beds, associated with the production of soda ash, that adjoin the creek. Concentrations of Cl and T-NH₃ increased on average by factors of 16.1 and 7.6, respectively, over the monitored stream reach. The estimated average loadings of these materials to the stream over this reach were 2.3 × 10⁵ and 1.2 × 102 kg d^?1, respectively. These inputs are attributable to the Solvay waste beds. The loading of Cl from this source has not changed significantly over a 4 yr period since the closure of the soda ash manufacturing facility. This is the single largest source of Cl, and the second largest source of T-NH₃, to polluted Onondaga Lake. Profiles of Cl in the lake indicated that at times the creek inflow plunges to subsurface layers as a result of its elevated density. This is at least in part a result of the creek's ionic enrichment. The concentration of SRP decreased by a factor of 2.0 on average over the study reach, probably due to adsorption to the CaCO₃ deposits that cover the stream bed in this area. However, the TP load from the creek to the lake is not significantly affected by this phenomenon.  相似文献   

Vertikaler Wasser- und Nitrattransport in tiefere Bodenschichten süddeutscher Ackerstandorte

Vertical water and nitrate movement into deeper soil layers on fields located in the south of Germany In Southern Bavaria, selected fields from deep loess and sandy sediments were sampled to a depth of maximum 10 m every 4 months, in order to determine the basic processes of water and nitrate movement in the course of the year. The downward movement of water and nitrate followed the principle of piston flow only in the intermediate vadose zone of loess soils with a leaching distance amounting 0.8 m per year. On the other hand, an accelerated as well as a delayed transport was observed in the zone of evapotranspiration of loess soils and in the whole profile of sandy soils, not being in accordance with the simple simulation model FLOTRA based on the classic theories of transport (Darcy flow, convection-dispersion-equation). Preferential flow led to the leaching of nitrate from the top soil to the lower boundary of the evapotranspiration zone of loess soils in 2 m depth, in winter and spring. In sandy soils nitrate was leached to the groundwater table in 4–6 m depth after extensive rainfall.  相似文献   

Impacts from Deposition on Swedish Forest Ecosystems Identified by Integrated Monitoring

Integrated monitoring of ecosystems (IM) is an international co-operative programme (ICP) to control effects of air pollution and climate change on water, soil and biological systems. It is a part of the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) of the United Nations Economic Commission of Europe (UN/ECE). The ICP-IM is undertaken on sites/catchments to investigate acidification, eutrophication and heavy metals with an integrated approach. In Sweden, long-term time series from forest ecosystems, with a long and stable continuity, will reveal trends and changes in processes and enable modelling to be undertaken. Investigations of acidity/alkalinity in relation to mineral and organic acids indicated the importance of atmospheric deposition. Recent results show very high inorganic nitrogen retention (99%), a net loss of sulphur originating mainly from organic horizons, and a high inorganic aluminium content in the illuvial soil horizons which could be detrimental to forests. Forest deficiency could also be caused by an observed ongoing translocation of Zn to deeper soil layers implying a movement towards increased release to surface waters.  相似文献

Effect of the Vinca alkaloids on RNA synthesis in human cells in vitro   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

The Vinca alkaloids vinblastine sulfate and vincrystine sulfate, which are mitotic poisons, inhibit RNA synthesis in human (HEp-2) cells cultured in vitro. Analyses of RNA synthesis by cells treated with these drugs by acrylamide gel electrophoresis show that 28s rRNA and to a lesser extent 18s rRNA are preferentially inhibited. The synthesis of tRNA is affected much less than that of rRNA. The present experiments suggest that the drugs inhibit both the synthesis and processing of the nucleolar RNA precursors of rRNA. An explanation is also given for previous reports that these alkaloids preferentially inhibit the synthesis of tRNA in animal cells in vitro.  相似文献   

Submicrometer Superconducting YBa2Cu3O6+x Particles Made by a Low-Temperature Synthetic Route     

Horowitz HS  McLain SJ  Sleight AW  Druliner JD  Gai PL  Vankavelaar MJ  Wagner JL  Biggs BD  Poon SJ 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1989,243(4887):66-69

Evidence suggests that superconducting, orthorhombic YBa(2)Cu(3)O(6+x)+ (x greater, similar 0.5) is always produced by oxidation of the oxygen-deficient, tetragonal form (x less, similar 0.5) of this phase (commonly referred to as 123). A synthetic route whereby solution-derived, carbon-free precursors are decomposed at 650 degrees to 700 degrees C in inert atmosphere to yield tetragonal 123 is now available. Appropriate precursors include hydrated oxides derived from the hydrolysis of organometallic solutions and aqueous solution-derived hyponitrites. Subsequent oxidation of the tetragonal phase at 400 degrees C results in submicrometer particles of orthorhombic 123. Superconductivity (T(c) onset approximately 87 K) has been confirmed in these materials by both Meissner effect and specific-heat measurements.  相似文献
