    Description: The paper presents the current status of the Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN), which has been developed as a component of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). MAN deploys Microtops handheld Sun photometers and utilizes the calibration procedure and data processing (Version 2) traceable to AERONET. A web site dedicated to the MAN activity is described. A brief historical perspective is given to aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements over the oceans. A short summary of the existing data, collected on board ships of opportunity during the NASA Sensor Intercomparison and Merger for Biological and Interdisciplinary Oceanic Studies (SIMBIOS) Project is presented. Globally averaged oceanic aerosol optical depth (derived from island-based AERONET measurements) at 500 nm is ∼0.11 and Angstrom parameter (computed within spectral range 440–870 nm) is calculated to be ∼0.6. First results from the cruises contributing to the Maritime Aerosol Network are shown. MAN ship-based aerosol optical depth compares well to simultaneous island and near-coastal AERONET site AOD.

    Notes: An experiment was conducted lo compare the effects of the grazing by ewes and weaned lambs on aftermath and previously continuously grazed perennial ryegrass-dominant swards, at two sward heights (4 and 8 cm) in (he autumn, on changes in structure and growth of the swards. The experiment had a factorial design, was replicated twice and was conducted from mid-August to early November with measurements being made on three occasions in the autumn. Aftermath swards had lower tiller population densities and lower herbage masses than those that had been previously continuously grazed, the differences being greatest in August. On an area basis net growth rates of herbage on aftermaths were lower than those on previously continuously grazed swards in August and September but not in October. Growth rates of herbage were higher on the taller sward, but the senescence rates were similar at the two sward heights. It was concluded that autumn swards may be managed at taller sward heights than summer swards without increasing senescence of the sward and a consequent reduction in efficiency of utilization. The effects of previous sward management on tissue turnover in the autumn were not long lasting.

    Notes: Herbage from forage rape (Brassica napus cv. Lair), harvested in the autumn, was separated into different morphological components and offered ad libitum to weaned lambs and adult sheep in two indoor pen-feeding experiments. In vivo. digestibility and the voluntary intake of herbage components were measured and related to chemical composition and in vitro digestibility. The organic matter digestibility of all plant components, especially of petiole, was high; lamina, 0·847: petiole, 0·892; upper stem. 0·865; lower stem, 0·771. Lambs and adults digested ‘leaf’ (0·83) vs 0·846) or ‘stem’ (0·782 vs 0·789) equally well. Both lambs and adults ate much less of the components or of whole crop than would be predicted with grass crops of similar digestibility or fibre content. With the exception of lamina, intake was closely related positively to digestibility and negatively lo fibre content. Low intakes of lamina were associated with high concentrations of glucosinolates. In vitro digestibility values obtained on small samples of forage show that the process is adequate for the prediction of in vivo digestibility.

    Notes: Abstract Four sward height treatments were imposed by continuous variable stocking using at least ten Suffolk × Greyface lambs per plot from late July to late August: constant 3·5 cm. constant 6·0 cm. 3·5cm increasing to 6·0 cm and 6·0 cm decreasing to 3·5 cm. The treatments were established on two swards given fertilizer N applications over the season of 97 and 160 kg N ha−1 respectively.Animal density was greater on the high fertilizer treatment, at the lower sward height and especially on the decreasing height treatments. Liveweight change of lambs was higher (P 〈0·001) on the 6-cm than on the 3·5-cm treatments (+159 vs-13g d−1 and was also higher (P 〈0·001) on the increasing than on the decreasing sward height treatments (+92 vs-26 g d−1). Herbage organic matter intake (OMI), measured on two occasions in the experiment, was greater (P 〈0·001) on the 6·0 cm than on the 3·5-cm sward heights whereas values for the increasing sward height treatments were much greater than those for the decreasing sward height treatments. There was little difference in the organic matter digestibility of the diet between treatments. Diets were composed largely of lamina, although there was more pseudostem and dead herbage in the diets of Iambs grazing the decreasing than the increasing sward height treatments at the end of the experiment. Bite mass was closely related to OMI but the treatment and period differences were relatively greater than for OMI. Bite mass was more closely related to the depth of the lamina layer (sward height-pseudostem height) than it was to sward height. There was evidence that pseudostem acted as a barrier to defoliation on these short swards and also that the proportion of youngest leaf in the diet was positively related to sward height and to increases in sward height.Sward height and especially the direction of change in sward height, together with associated stock density, were potent influences on lamb growth rate. This was a consequence of differences in herbage intake, which was strongly influenced by bite mass.

    Notes: Low temperatures are known to restrict chloroplast development and prevent the attainment of photosynthetic competence in maize leaves. The responses of the photosynthetic apparatus of mature maize leaves grown at 14°C on transfer of the plants to 25°C are examined. The synthesis of thylakoid proteins increased immediately on transfer of leaves from 14 to 25°C, with a dramatic accumulation of thylakoid proteins and chlorophylls occurring after 3 d at 25°C. Thylakoid structure and organization also became similar to those observed in leaves grown at 25°C over this period. However, no comparable development of photosynthetic competence in photosystems I and II or in the rate of CO2 assimilation was observed on transfer of leaves from 14 to 25°C. Immunocytological analyses demonstrated heterogeneity in the distribution of a range of thylakoid proteins (cy tochrome f, the α and β subunits of the coupling factor, Dl of the photosytem II reaction centre, the 33kDa protein of the extrinsic oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II, and subunit II of photosystem I between mesophyll cells in leaves grown at 14°C, and in the responses of individual proteins to transfer of the leaves to 25°C. Such heterogeneity between mcsophyll cells would account for the inability of the leaves to develop the expected degree of photosynthetic competence on transfer to 25°C. The effects of low growth temperatures on chloroplast biogenesis are complex, as are the changes induced by the transfer ofleaves grown at low temperatures to optimal growth temperature, and both these factors may limit the canopy development and photosynthetic productivity of crops in temperate regions.

    Notes: Tissue-specific effects of low growth temperature on maize chloroplast thylakoid protein accumulation were analysed using immunocytology. Sections of leaves from plants grown at 25 and 14°C were probed with antibodies to specific chloroplast thylakoid proteins from the four major protein multisubunit complexes of the thylakoid membrane followed by fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibodies. At a normal growth temperature of 25°C, the 32 kDa D1 protein of the photosystem II reaction centre and the 33 kDa protein of the extrinsic oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II are both accumulated to a greater degree in the mesophyll than in the bundle sheath chloroplasts. In contrast, subunit II of photosystem I, cytochrome f and the α- and β-subunits of ATP synthetase are predominant in the bundle sheath thylakoids at 25°C. A striking difference between the 25°C-grown and the 14°C-grown leaf tissue was the presence in the latter of (20–30%) cells whose chloroplasts apparently completely lack several of the thylakoid proteins. In plants grown at 14°C, the accumulation of the 33 kDa protein of the extrinsic oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II was apparently unchanged, but other thylakoid proteins showed a significant reduction. The uneven distribution of proteins between the bundle sheath and mesophyll chloroplasts observed at 25°C was also maintained at 14°C. Reduction in the fluorescence at 14°C was manifested either as an overall reduction in the diffuse fluorescence across the chloroplast profiles or less frequently as a reduction to small discrete bodies of intense fluorescence. The significance of these results to low-temperature-induced reduction in the photosynthetic productivity of maize is discussed.

    Notes: Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Hereward) plants were grown for 35 d either at 350 μmol mol–1 CO2 or at 650 μmol mol–1 CO2. Lipid synthesis was studied in these plants by incubating the 5th leaf on the main stem with [1–14C]acetate. Increased CO2 concentrations did not significantly affect the total incorporation of radiolabel into lipids of whole leaf tissue, but altered the distribution for individual lipid classes. Most noticeable amongst acyl lipids was the reduction in labelling of diacylglycerol and a corresponding increase in the proportion of phosphatidylcholine labelling. In the basal regions, there were similar changes and, in addition, phosphatidylglycerol labelling was particularly increased following growth in an enriched CO2 atmosphere. The stimulation of labelling of the mitochondrial-specific lipid, diphosphatidylglycerol, prompted an examination of the mitochondrial population in wheat plants. Mitochondria were localized in intact wheat sections by immunolabelling for the mitochondrial-specific chaperonin probe. Growth in elevated CO2 doubled the number of mitochondria compared to growth in ambient CO2. Fatty acid labelling was also significantly influenced following growth at elevated CO2 concentrations. Most noticeable were the changes in 16C:18C ratios for the membrane lipids, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. These data imply a change in the apportioning of newly synthesized fatty acids between the ‘eukaryotic’ and ‘prokaryotic’ pathways of metabolism under elevated CO2.
