Vast tracts of the wettest agricultural fields have been abandoned worldwide, hence knowledge of their restoration potential is becoming important. Soil seed banks can be important components of ecological restoration, particularly if the seeds of key structural dominants can survive periods of cultivation. In Changbai Mountain, China, we compared the seed banks and standing vegetation between natural sedge meadows and adjacent paddy fields under drained and flooded conditions. The tussock-forming sedge Carex schmidtii dominated plant communities in the natural sedge meadows. However, this key structural dominant species was not found in the paddy fields. Other important wetland species survived cultivation as seeds (e.g. Cyperus fuscus, Lythrum salicaria and Sagittaria trifolia). Species of various life history types require either drawdown (emergent; e.g. C. schmidtii) or flooding (e.g. Potamogeton pectinatus) for successful germination. This study indicates that the seed banks of farmed sedge meadows could contribute towards the establishment of new wetland vegetation assemblages. Active revegetation of sedge meadow, particularly the native tussock-forming Carex, and changes in environmental conditions are necessary to support the region’s biodiversity.

SummaryGlaucocalyxin A is a new diterpenoid isolated from the ethereal extract of the leaves of Rabdosia japonica (Burm f) Hara var glaucocalyx (Maxim) Hara (Labiatae) collected in the northeastern China. When it was incubated with washed rabbit platelets, glaucocalyxin A inhibited ADP- or arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation with IC50 values of 4.4 μmol/1, 14.1 μmol/1 respectively. Glaucocalyxin A also inhibited PAF-induced aggregation of rabbit platelets which were refractory to ADP and arachidonic acid with an IC50 value of 13.7 μmol/1. Analysis of [3H]-PAF binding showed that glaucocalyxin A prevented [3H]-PAF binding to intact washed rabbit platelets with an IC50 value of 8.16 μmol/1, which was consistent with its inhibition of PAF-induced platelet aggregation.

Ramalina sekika Asahina is reported for the first time from Russia from Sakhalin. It refers to the number of rare and poorly investigated species of the genus. Until now it was considered to be endemic to northeastern China. The original description and the location in the Far East are given, as well as the data on anatomical and morphological study of the Russian specimen. The differences in the anatomical structure of its thallus are discussed. A comparison of anatomical and morphological characters of R. sekika, R. pollinaria (Westr.) Ach. (European material), R. yasudae Räsänen has been made; the author considers them as independent species.
