The dead branches and leaves can hang on living trees for as long as ten years or so in Chinese fir plantation.The biomass of dead branches and leaves on living trees is 4108.0 kg·hm-2 in a first rotation stand of Chinese fir plantation with 14 site index and 13 years old, located in Dagang mountain area, Fenyi of Jiangxi. It is equal to 35.4% of the litter biomass of the stand.Determinations show the decay rates of dead branches and leaves taken from the canopy to the floor in the litter environment are far fast to the decay rates in the canopy.Therefore it is important for improving nutrient supply during the quick-growing phase and pole phase of Chinese fir plantation to take dead branches and leaves from the canopy to the floor to let them decay in the litter environment. There are four layers of dead branches and leaves distributing from 3.5 m to 8.0 m above the floor in the canopy. Because the dead time, the decay duration and suffered leaching intensity of one layer are different from another,so the decay rate of every layer in the canopy environment was determined separately.There are relatively distinct differences between decay rates of upper layers and decay rates of lower layers in the canopy environment. The decay rate of every layer in litter environment was determined also separately. There are a little differences between decay rates of upper layers and decay rates of lower layers in the litter environment.The decay mass of dead branches and leaves taken from the canopy to the floor in the litter environment is 2.3 times as much as that in the canopy.The total mass of nutrient return from the decaied branches and leaves in the litter environment is 3.5 times as much as that in the canopy.So taking dead branches and leaves on living trees from the canopy to the floor in good time during the quick growing phase and pole phase is one of effective measures to keep the productivity of Chinese fir plantation for long time.

By means of cryopreservation(-196℃)pretreated with cryoprotectants or not, characteristics of seed quality and enzyme activity of embryos were measured and analyzed both before and after cryopreservation, and long term storage feasibility was studied. The results showed that moisture content (MC) was the main factors deciding the cryopreservation effects of both C. henryi seeds and excised embryos. Moreover, the treatment desiccating down to a medium MC should be taken in cryopreservation process. Under the conditions of no cryoprotectants pretreatment, the optimal group of treatments was 15%~20% MC,mild freezing, and quick thawing. Otherwise, enzyme activity protected by cryoprotectants was higher than that of none, and the optimal group of treatments was 20%~25%MC, mild freezing, and slow thawing.

Through determining the contents of secondary metabolites in Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. (Duzhong) leaves of different clones growing in the same site type, the result showed that the relationship between the growth features of individuals of Duzhong and the contents of secondary metabolites, and variance analysis of the contents of secondary metabolites is notable in different clones. The results show that the growth features of Duzhong (genetic factors) are important factors in regulating sythesis and accumulation of the secondary metabolites. Through analizing the relationship between the growth features of individuals and the contents of secondary metabolites, it is concluded that the contents of secondary metabolites in early budding individvals are higher than those in late ones, the gutta-percha contents in individuals with oval leaves are appareatly higher than those in ones with elliptic leaves, leaf area is negatively relevant to the gutta-percha content, the contents of geniposidio acid and geniposide in the smooth-bark type are higher than those in the rough-bark one; while sex, DBH, height and activity of nitrate reductase (NR) have no effects on the contents of secondary metabolites. These results provided theoretic basis for the selection of excellent clones.

The histopathological manifestation of interactions of poplars cultivars and leaf rust(Melampsora larici-populina Kleb.)with different compatibilities was investigated by using whole-leaf cleaning and staining technique at various times after inoculation. The results showed that the urediospore germinated 6 h after inoculation on poplar leaf, and then germ tube grew into stoma and haustorium was formed in the host cell 24 h after inoculation. Germ-tube always branched into several tubes and infected two stomas, or several tubes infected one stoma at the same time. Resistance expression occurs 24 h after inoculation, but there were differences among different compatible combinations. As to resistant host combination, urediospore germinating process and growth rate of germ tube were restrained, and haustorium formed later (36 h after inoculation) and small in number; the number of substomatal vesicle on leaf was small and cell death frequently occured. As to compatible combination, haustorium formed 24 h after inoculation. The number of haustorium and the size of colony in resistant species were smaller than those of the susceptible ones, but larger than the near-immune ones.

Tissue isolation for mycelia was conducted from ectomycorrhizal mushrooms Suillus granulatus (Fr.) Kuntze and Scleroderma areolatum Ehrenb. collected in Jilin province and Russula rubra (Krombh) Bres. from Fujian province. The results showed that position of basidiocarps and kind of media were two of the factors determining the success of isolation. The DNA fingerprinting comparison was made to identify the isolates in this study. The results indicated that basidiocarps of Suillus granulatus from different sources were above the level of 0 939 DNA similarity coefficient, however, their mycelia isolates all had the same DNA fingerprinting patterns of RAPD (Random Amplified polymorphic DNA) using 10 arbitrary decamer nucleotide primers screened as their origin basidiocarps respectively, whose DNA similarity coefficients all were 1 000, and were therefore identified as true culture of the mushroom. In addition, the mycelia isolated from basidiocarps of Sclerodema areolatum were also authenticated as true isolates, but the cultures from a spawn unit of Fujian province had significant DNA heterogeneity with tested basidiocarps of Russula rubra, and were dertermined to be false isolates.

In this paper it is researched that ultraviolet radiation, temperature, adhesive and processing have effect on wheat straw by the spectrum instrument of Electron Spin Resonance. The result of test shows that there is a same value of g-factor for wood and wheat straw. The processing has a similar effect on free radial of wood and wheat straw. The smaller wheat straw is processed, the higher it has free radial. The content of free radial for wheat straw is much lower than wood. The increase proportion is also much lower than wood after the change of wheat straw shape. The change from outer temperature can influence the content of free radial for wheat straw. The effect is not notability before 100 degree centigrade. The content of free radial for wheat straw increase clearly after 100 degree centigrade. The irradiation of ultraviolet radiation has effect on the free radial in wheat straw. The free radial content of wheat straw increases gradually along with prolonging the time from irradiation of ultraviolet radiation, but the value of increase is not big and goes stabilization. The action can take place between free radial for wheat straw and adhesive. The free radial content of wheat straw has a smaller decrease after the reaction between wheat straw and UF. However, the free radial content of wheat straw has a bigger decrease after the reaction between wheat straw and MDI.

A lot of environmental problems that belong to global problem, which any countries or country groups can not solve these by themselves, need for international social members extensively to participate and cooperate to solve them. Therefore, the paper studies several ecological problems crossing the boundary, such as to be caused by international trade and to be caused by international investment. The paper puts forward that international ecological taxation is an effective method, which can prompt people who destroy ecological environment to develop new clear technique in order to decontaminate and reduce tax. The paper also points out that the international quota of ecological tax should be distributed by the historic, accumulative and realistic outflow discharge of greenhouse gases, according to the principle of justice "Who pollutes, who compensates." International green fund which is based on international ecological tax should give priority ecological compensation to developing countries and indigent districts where people planted trees in large scale and preserve natural forest. Another thing, which should be considered, is that environmental cost ought to be listed into international trade items, because the main reason of trade destroying environment is that environmental value do not properly reflect in the prices of goods and serves. Finally, to ensure implementation of international ecological taxation in effect, we should adopt the strategy of higher tax rate and narrow tax bass, because the higher tax rate can ensure effectively to reduce environment pollution and the narrow tax bass can cut down the gross ratal in order to decrease resistance carrying out international ecological taxation.

Activities of carboxylesterase and glutathione-S-transferase in Anoplophora glabripennis larvae feeding on eight different kinds of poplar trees were tested. The results showed that the activities of the two enzymes were significantly different when the larvae feeding on different poplar trees. The contents of fourteen secondary metabolites in eight kinds of poplar trees were also tested with the method of high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Stepwise regression analysis was carried out to test the relationship between the activities of the enzymes and secondary metabolites of poplar trees. The analysis results demonstrated that the contents of benzoic acid and catechin decreased together with the increase of carboxylesterase activity while the contents of catechol increased, but the content of p-hydroxybenzoic acid decreased together with the increasing of glutathione-S-transferase activity while the content of phenol, coumaric acid, syringic, salicylic acid and salicin in poplar trees increased.

The ants'species composition and ant fauna of Mt. Taibai were studied. A total of 43 species belonging to 18 genera and 4 sub-families were recorded. Of the four subfamilies the two subfamilies—Myrmicinae and Formicinae—had the most number of species and the species compositions of them were very different according to different slopes. Myrmicinae was the dominant group in south slopes and Formicinae was the dominant group in north slopes. Species compositions of genus in different slopes were also distinct. Myrmica, Formica and Aphaenogaster were dominant in south slopes and Myrmica was dominant in north slopes. The widely distributed species accounted for larger proportion and the oriental ones were equal to the Palearctic ones. In Formicinae the widely distributed species were dominant and the Paleartic ones were subordinant to them. In Myrmicinae, the Oriental species were dominant and the Palearctic ones were subordinant to them.
