According to the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change good practice guidance, an annual forest biomass carbon balance (AFCB) can be estimated by either the stock-difference (SD) or the gain–loss (GL) method. An AFCB should be accompanied by an analysis and estimation of uncertainty (EU). EUs are to be practicable and supported by sound statistical methods. Sampling and model errors both contribute to an EU. As sample size increases, the sampling error decreases but not the error due to errors in model parameters. Uncertainty in GL AFCB estimates is dominated by model-parameter errors. This study details the delta technique for obtaining an EU with the SD and the GL method applicable to the carbon in aboveground forest biomass. We employ a Brownian bridge process to annualize the uncertainty in SD AFCBs. A blend of actual and simulated data from three successive inventories are used to demonstrate the application of the delta technique to SD- and GL-derived AFCBs during the years covered by the three inventories (SD) and rescaled national wood volume harvest statistics (GL). Examples are limited to carbon in live trees with a stem diameter of 7 cm or greater. We confirm that a large contribution to the uncertainty in an AFCB comes from models used to estimate biomass. Application of the delta technique to summary statistics can significantly underestimate uncertainty as some sources of uncertainty cannot be quantified from the available information. We discuss limitations and problems with the Monte Carlo technique for quantifying uncertainty in an AFCB. 相似文献

Seedlings of Pistacia vera L. developed from seeds of two separate populations in Turkmenistan, Kepele and Agachli, were evaluated for their growth potential and genetic polymorphism. Plant growth rate as well as random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis showed distinct differences between the two populations. In plant height growth rate, 17 Agachli accessions were 1.3 times higher on average than that of 10 accessions of Kepele (significant at p = 0.046) and 1.2 times higher for trunk diameter growth rate (p = 0.062). Cluster analysis divided most accessions into two main genetic groups according to their geographic origin. The Agachli group was further divided into two subgroups. One Kepele accession (K4), was genetically different from the rest and clustered on a separate outgroup. Two Agachli accessions (A12 and A17) were outside the two main populations clusters. Accessions K9 and K10 from Kepele were exceptional and were clustered in each of the two Agachli's subgroups, indicating a close genetic relationship between the two populations. In addition, high similarity values (0.58–1.00) and small genetic distances reflect plausible gene flow between Kepele and Agachli, which are 100 Km apart. Mantel test revealed significant relationship between the RAPD and the morphological traits matrices, pointing to the genetic basis for the measured differences in the growth rate. Growing the accessions on the same plot, under similar conditions enabled the evaluation of genotypic differences. The combination of morphological traits and molecular markers will further assist in preservation of genetic variability and cultivation of useful genotypes of P. vera L. 相似文献

We have analyzed the global tropospheric temperature for 1978 to 2002 with the use of passive microwave sounding data from the NOAA series of polar orbiters and the Earth Observing System Aqua satellite. To accurately retrieve the climatic trend, we combined the satellite data with an analytic model of temperature that contains three different time scales: a linear trend and functions that define the seasonal and diurnal cycles. Our analysis shows a trend of +0.22 degrees to 0.26 degrees C per 10 years, consistent with the global warming trend derived from surface meteorological stations. 相似文献

In bacteria, promoter recognition depends on the RNA polymerase sigma subunit, which combines with the catalytically proficient RNA polymerase core to form the holoenzyme. The major class of bacterial promoters is defined by two conserved elements (the -10 and -35 elements, which are 10 and 35 nucleotides upstream of the initiation point, respectively) that are contacted by sigma in the holoenzyme. We show that recognition of promoters of this class depends on the "flexible flap" domain of the RNA polymerase beta subunit. The flap interacts with conserved region 4 of sigma and triggers a conformational change that moves region 4 into the correct position for interaction with the -35 element. Because the flexible flap is evolutionarily conserved, this domain may facilitate promoter recognition by specificity factors in eukaryotes as well. 相似文献

Potassium transport was investigated in the root elongation zone of Arabidopsis seedlings during the first minutes of Al3+ exposure, using the non-invasive MIFE microelectrode technique. To prevent pH changes during Al3+ application, and to separate aluminium from acidic stress, plants were pre-treated with 5 mM homoPIPES before addition of AlCl3 (pH 4.2). The 30-min treatment with 50 or 500 μM AlCl3 led to a significant increase in K+ efflux in solutions containing 100 μM CaCl2 . This efflux was suppressed by high concentrations of Ca2+ (10 mM) in the bathing solution. Our results suggest that elevated external Ca2+ activities can sustain K+ influx in the root elongation zone during Al3+ exposure either by maintaining [Ca2+ ]cyt or by affecting Al3+ uptake across the plasma membrane. 相似文献

Soil macroinvertebrates were studied in a Mediterranean-type forest on brown-pebble forest soils in southern Russia. At the site, 144 intact soil cores (76 cm2 each) forming a grid of 24 × 6 units were taken in order to determine animal spatial distribution. Abundance of isopods was 166.3 ± 16.0 indiv. m–2 and they constituted about 12% of the total macrofaunal abundance. Biomass of isopods was 3.5 g m–2, or about 21% of the total biomass of macrofauna. Three woodlice genera (Armadillidium, Cylisticus, and Trachelipus) were found at the site. The two latter genera formed almost all (93%) of the isopod population. We found that spatial distribution of woodlice was heterogeneous: areas with 4–5 individuals per sample were neighboring those without animals. In order to study soil factors influencing isopod distribution in the brown-pebble forest soil, the size of a sample was artificially increased by combining adjacent sample units. Litter mass (r = 0.41) and loss on ignition (LOI) (r = –0.55) significantly influenced isopod distribution. Soil pH was near neutral (6.79), LOI was 8.39, and the water holding capacity was 70.9%. Pebbles comprised up to 84% of the sample's mass. Ca. 40 samples are recommended for estimation of isopod abundance in brown forest soil. 相似文献

Myelo-computed tomography of a paraparetic 14-year-old dog revealed subarachnoid distension with an intradural filling defect above the T13–L1 disc space. T12–L1 hemilaminectomy followed by durotomy allowed removal of a large piece of degenerated disc material that compressed the spinal parenchyma. Full return to function was achieved 10 days post-surgery. The distension was likely secondary to the intradural herniation, and is a rare and distinct finding. 相似文献
