Background
Ocular pathology lessens light's efficacy to maintain optimal circadian entrainment. We examined whether ophthalmic dysfunction explains unique variance in melatonin excretion of older adults over and above the variance explained by daily illumination, medical, and sociodemographic factors. We also examined whether ophthalmic dysfunction influences relationships between ambient illumination and melatonin. 相似文献3.

Thirty‐nine accessions of St John's Wort were studied over a 3‐year period. The percentage of diseased plants ranged from 0 to 100%. After 3 years of cultivation, 18% of the accessions presented a dieback rate of <10%. Hypericins and hyperforins in flowering tops (top 30 cm of plants at full bloom) and flowers were assayed using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC‐DAD Diode Array Detector) (one to three cuttings a year). The hypericin contents in flowering tops ranged from 0.7 to 3%. These levels were, on average, 2.8‐fold lower than those recorded in flowers. Hyperforin levels varied in the different accessions, ranging from 0.65 to 3% in flowering tops and 2 to 5.7% in the flowers. In line with present industrial needs, a minimum content of one or more of the active components, it will therefore be necessary to select accessions in terms of the dry weight yield and the contents of flowering tops and flowers. Dry weight depends on cutting height, which also affects the quality of the plant material harvested. Because of the plant to plant variability, the performance of the accessions selected would be improved. 相似文献

Because of its agronomic benefits, farm-scale composting is an efficient means of recycling agricultural waste. Composting process is an aerobic degradation of fresh organic matter in mature compost. Nevertheless, according to the literature, composting may induce some environmental problems. The environmental impacts of composting will be described, along with an assessment of farm-scale composting practices which play a major role in pollution. The main environmental components potentially affected by composting pollution are air and water. Various gases released by composting, such as NH3, CH4 and N2O, can impact air quality and are therefore studied because they all have environmental impacts and can be controlled by composting management. The effect on water quality can be evaluated by considering loss of NO3 -, NH4 +, organic compounds and PO4 3-. Technical evaluation criteria for the impact of farm-scale composting on the air are determined from the physical and chemical characteristics of the raw materials, the use of additives, the turning method and frequency and the duration of the composting operations. Regarding water, the weather conditions at the beginning of the composting operation, the location of the heap, the protection against rain, the water addition during the process, the use of covers and the recovery of leaching and runoff water are also taken into account. The two main practices which control the air and water pollution from composting are: the choice of the raw material which influences gas emissions and the choice of composting location which have an high effect on losses by leaching and runoff. 相似文献

Abstract Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are known to be very demanding in terms of soil fertility. The influence of deleterious soil fertility on the growth of yams, however, has not yet been studied. A field study was carried out in Côte d'Ivoire, in a fertile forest site and in a low fertility savanna site, submitted to identical climatic conditions, to determine how soil fertility affects Leaf Area Index, Leaf Area Ratio, Crop Growth Rate, Tuber Bulking Rate, Radiation Interception, Radiation Use Efficiency and final tuber yields in D. alata and D. rotundata, grown in the presence of adequate fertilizers. While germination and establishment of both species were not affected by the site, growth parameters of D. alata were superior to those of D. rotundata. This resulted in higher yields of D. alata, when compared to D. rotundata. Only the radiation use efficiency was higher in D. rotundata than in D. alata. Both species reached higher Crop growth rate and Tuber bulking rate and produced higher fresh tuber yields at the forest site than at the savanna site, reflecting the known demand of yams for high fertility soil. Correlation analyses showed significant relationships between the mean Leaf Area Index measured over the entire growth period, Tuber Growth Rate calculated between tuber initiation and harvest, and fresh tuber yields, suggesting that the development of leaf area is determining the growth rate of the tuber which itself determines the fresh tuber yield. The decrease in D. alata tuber yields at the savanna site was explained by a decrease in Leaf Area Index, while the decrease in D. rotundata tuber yields at this site was explained by a decrease in Radiation Use Efficiency. Both effects might have been the consequence of a suboptimal nitrogen and potassium nutrition at the savanna site. 相似文献

Forest productivity is driven by a suite of direct climatic and non-climatic factors that are transient or permanent. The kind of productivity driver and the nature of their effects vary by species, and scale dependencies potentially complicate these relationships. This study explored productivity-driver relations in eastern Boreal Canada and determined spatial effects in productivity control when expressed with stand dominant height at a reference age (site index). Data from 4,217 temporary sample plots obtained from boreal mixedwood and conifer bioclimatic domains, and with varied species composition, were used in this study. A single-level global model that assumes equal sensitivities across spatial scales was calibrated and compared with three alternative models reflecting different hypotheses on possible spatial heterogeneities. Alternative models were calibrated by plot-level soil deposit types (microscale), landscape dominant deposits (mesoscale) and bioclimatic domains (macroscale). A marked difference between the global and alternative models was observed, suggesting that a single global model does not sufficiently reflect existing heterogeneity in productivity-driver relationships. A combination of macro- and microscale models provided the best explanation of site index. Results further showed that site index is mainly driven by species composition (complementarity effects of aspen and jack pine compositions) and stand diameter structural diversity effects. It is concluded that successional changes, more than direct climatic effects, drive productivity. 相似文献

Clay minerals have a major role in soil aggregation because of their large specific surface area and surface charges, which stimulate interactions with other mineral particles and organic matter. Soils usually contain a mixture of clay minerals with contrasting surface properties. Although these differences should result in different abilities of clay minerals regarding aggregate formation and stabilization, the role of different clay minerals in aggregation has been seldom evaluated. In this study, we took advantage of the intrinsic mineral heterogeneity of a temperate Luvisol to compare the role of clay minerals in aggregation. First, grassland and tilled soil samples were separated in water into aggregate‐size classes based on the aggregate hierarchy model. Then, clay mineralogy and organic C in the aggregate‐size classes were analysed. Interstratified minerals containing swelling phases accumulated in aggregated fractions compared with free clay fractions under the two land‐uses. The accumulation increased with decreasing aggregate size from large macroaggregates (> 500 µm) to microaggregates (50–250 µm). Carbon content and carbon‐to‐nitrogen ratio followed the opposite trend. This fully supports the aggregate hierarchy model, which postulates an increasing importance of mineral reactivity in smaller aggregates than in larger aggregates in which the cohesion relies mostly on physical enmeshment by fungal hyphae or small roots. Consequently, differences in the proportion of the different 2:1 clay minerals in soils can influence their structure development. Further research on the links between clay mineralogy and aggregation can improve our understanding of mechanisms of soil resistance to erosion and organic matter stabilization. 相似文献
