Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 56(3), p.484 - 497, 2021/03
Times Cited Count：9 Percentile：87.04(Agriculture, Dairy & Animal Science)We have established an archive system of livestock and wild animals from the surrounding ex-evacuation zone. Wildlife within the alert zone have been exposed to low-dose-rate (LDR) radiation for a long and continuous time. In this study, we analysed the morphological characteristics of the testes and in vitro fertilization (IVF) capacity of cryopreserved sperm of raccoons from the ex-evacuation zone of the FDNPP accident. This study revealed that the chronic and LDR radiation exposure associated with the FDNPP accident had no adverse effect on the reproductive characteristics and functions of male raccoons.

National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences, Japan, established new Free-Air CO Enrichment (FACE) facilities for paddy rice in central Japan (Tsukuba FACE) in April, 2010. Early FACE studies were originally designed to investigate changes in plant growth, crop yield, and carbon cycle under elevated CO and temperature. In addition to these research agenda, a three-year project at Tsukuba FACE that assesses the changes in nitrogen cycle due to climate manipulation (FACE-N) started in April, 2010. The FACE-N project has the following themes: (1) atmosphere-paddy exchange of nitrogen; (2) nitrogen-related processes in a soil-rice system; and (3) development of the sophisticated nitrogen cycling model at a plot scale and of the regional nitrogen assessment system using remote-sensing technique and geographic information system (GIS).

Nitrogen retention in the forest ecosystem can be mainly evaluated as a balance between input of atmospheric reactive N and hydrological N loss at a watershed scale. As an assumption for the evaluation, it has been proposed that the watershed is completely "closed", namely, the source of water flowing out from the watershed is rainwater fell into the watershed. This means that exchange of N transported with water between the watershed and the adjacent watershed beyond the watershed boundary is ignored. However, is this assumption applicable for all forested watersheds? If not, nitrogen retention in the watershed may not be evaluated accurately. In our presentation, we aim to elucidate the source of streamwater nitrate-N in the forested watershed whose water balance are not possibly closed.
