Improving wood volume predictions in dry tropical forest in the semi-arid Brazil     

Robson B de LIMA 《干旱区科学》2020,12(6):1046-1055

The volumetric variability of dry tropical forests in Brazil and the scarcity of studies on the subject show the need for the development of techniques that make it possible to obtain adequate and accurate wood volume estimates. In this study, we analyzed a database of thinning trees from a forest management plan in the Contendas de Sincorá National Forest, southwestern Bahia State, Brazil. The data set included a total of 300 trees with a trunk diameter ranging from 5 to 52 cm. Adjustments, validation and statistical selection of four volumetric models were performed. Due to the difference in height values for the same diameter and the low correlation between both variables, we do not suggest models which only use the diameter at breast height (DBH) variable as a predictor because they accommodate the largest estimation errors. In comparing the best single entry model (Hohenald-Krenn) with the Spurr model (best fit model), it is noted that the exclusion of height as a predictor causes the values of 136.44 and 0.93 for Akaike information criterion (AIC) and adjusted determination coefficient (R2 adj), which are poorer than the second best model (Schumacher-Hall). Regarding the minimum sample size, errors in estimation (root mean square error (RMSE) and bias) of the best model decrease as the sample size increases, especially when a larger number of trees with DBH≥15.0 cm are randomly sampled. Stratified sampling by diameter class produces smaller volume prediction errors than random sampling, especially when considering all trees. In summary, the Spurr and Schumacher-Hall models perform better. These models suggest that the total variance explained in the estimates is not less than 95%, producing reliable forecasts of the total volume with shell. Our estimates indicate that the bias around the average is not greater than 7%. Our results support the decision to use regression methods to build models and estimate their parameters, seeking stratification strategies in diameter classes for the sample trees. Volume estimates with valid confidence intervals can be obtained using the Spurr model for the studied dry forest. Stratified sampling of the data set for model adjustment and selection is necessary, since we find significant results with mean error square root values and bias of up to 70% of the total database.  相似文献

Challenges facing arthropod biological control: identifying traits for genetic improvement of predators in protected crops     

Pablo Bielza  Virginia Balanza  Dina Cifuentes  Jos E Mendoza 《Pest management science》2020,76(11):3517-3526

Biological control is an efficient pest control method but there are still limitations that are hindering its wider adoption. Genetic improvement of biological control agents (BCAs) can help to overcome these constraints, but the choice of key attributes for better performance that need to be selected is still an open question. Several characteristics have been suggested but the harsh reality is that selective breeding of BCAs has received a lot of attention but resulted in very little progress. Identifying the appropriate traits to be prioritized may be the first step to reverse this situation. In our opinion, the best way is to look at the factors limiting the performance of key BCAs, especially generalist predators (pesticide compatibility, prey‐density dependence, non‐suitable crops, and extreme environmental conditions), and according to these challenges, to choose the attributes that would allow BCAs to overcome those limitations. The benefits of selection for higher resistance to toxins, whether artificially applied (pesticides) or plant produced (plant defenses); increased fitness when feeding on non‐prey food (supplemented or plant‐derived); and better adaptation to extreme temperature and humidity are discussed. In conclusion, genetic improvement of BCAs can bring about new opportunities to biocontrol industry and users to enhance biocontrol resilience. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

满孝明  KHANZADA Shagufta Rani  张桂芬  刘万学  万方浩  杨念婉 《中国生物防治学报》2020,36(6):874-879

海氏桨角蚜小蜂Eretmocerus hayati是烟粉虱Bemisia tabaci的优势寄生蜂,了解寄生蜂的交配行为有利于完善其规模化繁殖技术。通过对海氏桨角蚜小蜂的首次交配及再次交配、配偶选择等行为学观察,以及多次交配对雌蜂繁殖量影响的生物学试验,明确了该蜂的交配过程包括求偶、交尾前期、交尾和交尾后期;雌蜂在整个生活史中未观察到再次交配;雄蜂可在首次交配后迅速进行再次交配,首次交配后1 h内的再次交配率为83.3%,62.5%的个体可在2 h内完成第3次交配,再次交配的行为持续时间显著低于首次交配;雄蜂的交配次数对自身寿命及其配偶的寄生量无显著影响;此外,在配偶选择中,处女蜂倾向于接受有交配经历的雄蜂,多头雄蜂间存在竞争行为进而干扰交配成功率。  相似文献

R15是适应性较广,产量较高的中熟晚籼香稻品系,但由于含有Wx^a基因,其直链淀粉含量高达23.5%,严重影响食用口感。因此,我们以含有Wx^b等位基因的不育系Y58S为供体,通过杂交、回交,利用RAD测序技术、分子标记辅助筛选等技术,经过8个世代的筛选,成功用Wx^b基因替换掉R15中的Wx^a基因,培育出1个新的纯合株系——‘深华R16’,其染色体上有10882234 bp长度的碱基,基因型和供体亲本‘Y58S’一致,占2.92%;有362363285 bp长度的DNA片段基因型和受体亲本‘R15’一致,占97.08%;其直链淀粉含量为14%。将‘Y58S’分别与‘深华R16’和‘R15’进行组配,结果表明,‘Y58S’/‘深华R16’组合的直链淀粉含量(13.9%)低于‘Y58S’/‘R15’组合的直链淀粉含量(19.9%),其它米质性状与农艺性状基本一致。本研究为分子标记辅助育种提供了新思路,培育出一新的水稻品系。  相似文献   

叶片角度对输水泵站泵装置水力性能影响分析     

施伟  成立 《排灌机械工程学报》2020,38(4):372-377

为研究输水泵站泵装置水力性能受叶片角度变化的影响,采用CFD方法模拟全流道泵装置水力性能,分析设计流量工况下叶片角度变化对进水流道、出水流道流动及叶轮内部流动特性和水力性能的影响.结果表明:在设计流量工况下,叶片角度偏离设计工况角度,叶轮进口近轮毂区存在回流、脱流;叶片角度偏离设计工况角度越大,进水流道、出水流道内水流流态越差,水力损失越大.当叶片角度调节为-8°工况时,与叶片角度-0°工况比较,进水流道和出水流道水力损失相对值最大,分别为1.28和2.89.即叶片同等偏离角度下,出水流道水力损失增大幅度较进水流道更加明显.对比数值模拟结果与模型试验结果得出,在设计流量工况,叶片角度为0°时,扬程相对误差为1.2%,效率相对误差为2.1%,两者吻合较好.  相似文献

针对拖拉机侧翻致死致伤事故仍时有发生的问题,基于旋转刚体加速时的反向施矩原理,以反作用动量飞轮为执行元件,提出了从主动安全角度解决拖拉机侧翻问题的研究方法。通过构建拖拉机动力学系统数学模型,解析了整机侧翻行为的动态演变机理。为保证拖拉机主体结构的完整性,将动量飞轮置于拖拉机前部,取代传统静态配重的同时可主动提供防侧翻力矩。应用Matlab/Simulink软件,对反作用飞轮的回稳过程进行了基于PID控制的有效性仿真分析,同时设计并搭建了比例模型试验平台,对主动施矩飞轮的回稳控制效果进行了试验验证。结果表明,装备飞轮的拖拉机与无控制组对比,在一次试验中可多次实现整机的防侧翻控制,使整机防侧翻性能得到明显改善,且不同行驶工况下的试验数据与仿真结果的相关性较强,充分验证了本文拖拉机侧翻动力学模型的有效性。  相似文献

王若凡  汪文飞  王煜钧  孙鹤洲  刘傲展 《农业环境科学学报》2020,39(9):2001-2007

为提升西北地区农村生活污水的治理水平,结合西北地区气温特征,以生物炭为主体构建了折流湿地,并分析其对生活污水中污染物的净化效果。结果表明:在水温8～12℃条件下,折流湿地的最佳水力停留时间(HRT)为2.5 d,此时,湿地中污水的化学需氧量(COD)、氨氮(NH_4~+-N)、磷酸盐(PO_4~(3-)-P)、悬浮物(SS)的去除率分别为90.51%、72.38%、90.73%、94.57%。此外,各自污染物去除率与其停留时间和沿程均呈显著正相关(P0.05)。折流湿地经过12个月的运行,对COD、NH_4~+-N、PO_4~(3-)-P、SS的年平均去除率分别为88.16%、83.16%、92.55%、96.30%,且出水水质稳定。生物炭作为折流湿地填料对COD、PO_4~(3-)-P、SS的去除过程均较好地符合一级动力学模型(R~20.91),并且对SS具有较快的去除速率。研究表明,生物炭作为折流湿地填料具有良好的应用价值,对解决西北地区农村水污染问题具有重要的意义。  相似文献
