江汉平原湖相沉积物元素地球化学记录揭示的12.8 cal. ka BP 以来气候环境演变

以江汉平原JZ-2010湖相沉积剖面为研究对象,AMS ¹⁴C年代数据为框架,通过对湖相沉积物的元素地球化学记录进行综合分析与对比研究,重建了江汉平原冰消期末至全新世以来的古环境演化过程,并探讨了区域气候变化的可能驱动因素。结果表明：12.8—9.1 cal. ka BP,研究区气候总体上温凉偏干,但有逐渐向暖湿变化的趋势;9.1—6.3 cal. ka BP,气候温暖湿润,水热配置均匀;6.3—4.4 cal. ka BP,气候前期较为暖湿,后期有逐渐向干旱转变的趋势;4.4—1.3 cal. ka BP,气候经历4.2 ka冷干事件后逐渐向温暖湿润转变。硅铝率、CIA和Rb/Sr指标的变化趋势与太阳辐射量、北大西洋赤铁矿染色颗粒及底栖有孔虫壳体δ¹³C记录之间存在较好的对应关系,揭示出江汉平原12.8 cal. ka BP以来的气候变化受控于北大西洋深水流的变化,同时,中晚全新世以来气候变化趋势与北半球夏季太阳辐射变化趋势较为吻合,太阳辐射主要通过季风环流间接影响区域气候变化。     

青藏高原下大武地区炭屑浓度所反映的环境演变与人类活动

青藏高原主体海拔在4000 m以上,4000 m以上的人类活动与环境演变之间的关系研究很薄弱。本文通过对下大武遗址各粒级炭屑浓度的分析,试探讨其与人类活动和环境的关系。研究发现:(1)全新世大暖期时,气候温暖湿润,适宜生存。在对应的历史文化层中各粒级炭屑浓度出现高值区,说明此时下大武地区人类活动频繁,地方火和区域火频繁出现。(2)全新世中期,季风减弱,气候向冷干转变,植被退化,炭屑浓度普遍处于稳定的低值区,反映当时下大武地区人类活动的强度与范围缩小。(3)全新世晚期以来,3700—1800 cal.a BP炭屑浓度出现明显高值区,指示高原区域火的发生;1800 cal.a BP以来各粒级炭屑浓度波动频繁,粗粒炭屑浓度的波幅最大,指示下大武地区人类活动增强。     

泾河中游将军村全新世剖面中钾素的地球化学特征及古气候意义

通过对泾河中游将军村全新世黄土地层中钾素、低频质量磁化率、频率磁化率、Rb/Sr与年代学综合分析,着重探讨了黄土中钾素的地球化学特征及其所揭示的古气候变化。研究表明：（1）速效钾、缓效钾具有很明显的古气候指示意义,可作为衡量东亚夏季风强弱的一种敏感参数或代用指标,并且对微弱的古气侯波动反映更灵敏。（2）近万年来将军村剖面所经历的古气候变化特征：早全新世（11.20—8.05 ka BP）气候逐渐趋于相对暖湿,但气候冷干/暖湿波动频繁交替;中全新世（8.05—3.10 ka BP）气候适宜;晚全新世前期（3.10—2.00 ka BP）气候偏凉干;晚全新世后期（2.00 ka BP—至今）气候再度转为偏暖湿。（3）将军村剖面全新世气候适宜期是渐变形成的,但大暖期却在约3.10 ka BP时以气候突变形式终结。     

甘肃合水地区全新世以来土壤剖面黑碳记录及其气候变化

针对甘肃合水马家村(MJC)全新世黄土剖面进行野外采样,分析磁化率和黑碳(焦炭和烟炱)等古气候指标,试图探讨黄土高原北部全新世以来生物质燃烧特征以及自然生态环境演变过程,结果表明:末次冰期和全新世早期(11500—8500 a BP)气候寒冷而干旱,区域野火事件时而发生,植被生物量是此阶段野火发生与蔓延的限制因素;距今8000年以来,黑碳和炭屑浓度整体呈现下降趋势。由于季节性降水增多从而抑制大范围火灾发生几率。然而,8000—7000 a BP和3500—2500 a BP野火频率明显上升,这可能与仰韶时期老官台文化和寺洼文化时期的古人类放火烧荒和开垦农田等活动有关;全新世晚期(3100 a BP至今)气候进一步干旱,生物质燃烧增强与人口增加和人类土地利用水平密切相关,其中1500—1000 a BP出现一次较为明显的峰值,这可能与隋唐以来该区农耕活动加强有关。可见,近2000年以来黄土高原北部地区生物质燃烧特征受到气候和人类活动复合驱动所控制。     

基于USLE的东江流域土壤侵蚀量估算

基于通用土壤流失方程(USLE),运用遥感和地理信息技术,对东江流域年均土壤侵蚀量进行估算。结果表明:东江流域年均土壤侵蚀总量为16.2×108t,土壤侵蚀模数为18.73t/(hm2.a),侵蚀强度属轻度。占流域面积94.62%的区域土壤侵蚀强度在中度以下,对流域土壤侵蚀量的贡献率为9.94%,而占流域面积仅5.38%的中度以上侵蚀区域对流域土壤侵蚀量的贡献率达90.06%。流域土壤侵蚀空间差异性大,分析土壤侵蚀与土地利用类型和坡度之间的关系表明:裸地和灌草地为区内主要侵蚀地带,土壤侵蚀模数随着坡度的递增呈先增加后减小的趋势,5°~25°为区内主要土壤侵蚀坡度段。通过以上研究分析以期为构建东江流域水生态功能分区指标体系提供科学依据。     

河南马沟洞石笋记录的早中全新世气候和环境变化

基于河南省禹州市马沟洞2支石笋(MG-1与MG-40)24个~(230)Th年龄和1988个氧同位素数据,建立了研究区13.1—4.9 ka BP分辨率为2—14 a的石笋氧同位素时间序列。马沟洞石笋δ~(18)O的时间序列揭示季风降水在11.2—9.1 ka BP时段在波动中逐渐增加,9.1—4.9 ka BP季风降水显著波动但无明显长期趋势变化。YD事件、9.3 ka事件、8.2 ka事件记录与其他石笋δ~(18)O记录的一致性揭示末次冰消期—早全新世百年—千年尺度气候突变事件的大范围存在和共同的驱动因子。马沟洞全新世大暖期的δ~(18)O记录中检测出的13个数十年尺度的弱季风事件进一步证实全新世大暖期气候的不稳定性。与大气⊿~(14)C记录、NGRIP冰芯δ~(18)O记录的对比及周期分析揭示,太阳活动引起的太阳辐射变化和北半球高纬气候状况共同影响着亚洲季风的变化,ENSO活动及气候系统内部的相互作用也对东亚夏季风降水产生重要的影响。     

基于BP神经网络的三峡库区土壤侵蚀强度模拟

降雨侵蚀力变化是一复杂过程,其变化存在一定的随机波动性,土壤侵蚀是三峡库区生态环境脆弱最主要的影响因素之一,查明库区土壤侵蚀强度的演化过程及未来趋势是库区生态文明建设过程中急需解决的关键科学问题。论文基于三峡库区1990年侵蚀降雨特征,利用BP神经网络对2010年75个站点降雨侵蚀力进行模拟、验证,预测2030年75个站点降雨侵蚀力。选取2030年预测结果中位于库区周围的27个站点,结合2030年库区自然增长、生态保护情景下土地利用模拟数据,使用RUSLE计算2030年土壤侵蚀强度。结果表明：1）2010年库区降雨侵蚀力模拟相对误差为15%,测试样本数据相对误差为14.67%,预测相对误差为19.65%,NE系数为0.85,说明BP神经网络对库区降雨侵蚀力具有良好模拟效果;2）2010年库区土壤侵蚀强度的Kappa指数为0.75,计算结果能满足模拟与预测需求;3）在土地利用不变情况下,2030年库区轻度、中度侵蚀面积均有所增加,微度及强烈以上侵蚀面积均呈减少趋势,且侵蚀强度转变中的58%来源于相邻侵蚀强度,跨侵蚀等级区的较少;4）在降雨侵蚀力不变情况下,自然增长、生态保护情景下未来土地利用变化所导致的土壤侵蚀均呈下降趋势,后者下降的趋势更为明显;5）在降雨侵蚀力及土地利用均变化的情况下,自然增长、生态保护情景下土壤侵蚀均呈下降趋势。     

三江源地区全新世降水序列集成重建

三江源地区地处青藏高原腹地,是全球气候变化响应敏感区,重建该区全新世降水对理解过去气候变化具有重要意义。目前,三江源地区降水重建以单点为主,难以反映整个区域降水变化。本文通过利用下大武剖面化石孢粉记录,同时搜集该区6处化石孢粉点数据,运用转换函数法和点阵成面回归模型重建三江源地区全新世降水变化记录。结果显示：三江源地区全新世早中期降水高于现代年平均降水,全新世晚期降水开始下降。降水变化可分为3个阶段,12.0～6.5 ka B.P.降水波动增加;6.5～4.0 ka B.P.降水波动下降;4.0～0.5 ka B.P.降水波动幅度较小,与现代基本持平,变化幅度不超过100 mm;降水极端期为12.3 ka B.P.降水最少,较现代低90 mm左右;6.5 ka B.P.降水量达到最大值500 mm左右。本研究提供了三江源地区全新世降水变化记录,为研究三江源地区长尺度降水变化规律提供了参考依据。     

关于在长江经济带布局以水质改善为目标的流域生态缓冲体系的思考

生态缓冲带能够有效减缓流域内的人类活动或自然过程对水环境和水生态系统的影响.在长江经济带构建流域生态缓冲体系,对长江生态保护修复具有十分重要的意义.讨论了构建流域生态缓冲体系涉及的生态缓冲带位置选择、缓冲体系所占最低面积比率、宽度划定等一些基本的原则要求;利用卫星遥感影像数据,提取各汇水单元的地形特征、土地利用类型特征、土壤类型、土壤侵蚀强度、水文水系等数据,对长江经济带流域生态缓冲体系进行布局.结果表明:①长江经济带内林草地是主要土地利用类型,占区域总面积的62.46%,但是分布很不均匀,主要集中在西部高地和中下游的丘陵地带,在人口密集、农田密集的区域分布偏少;城镇用地主要集中在长江中下游地区.②土壤类型空间差异显著,浙江省、江苏省、湖南省、江西省及安徽省大部分区域的土壤多是黏性比较大,污染物迁移能力较低;而污染物迁移能力较强的砂质土或者土层较薄的山地草甸土主要分布在四川省北部、西北部.水力侵蚀、风力侵蚀和冻融侵蚀均有分布,且以水力侵蚀为主,建议在中度及以上侵蚀强度区域尽量减少污染源,重点布置缓冲带,增加该区域的缓冲力度.③长江经济带范围内可以利用的中小型湿地、小型河流支浜的面积至少有1.4×104 km2,再结合林草缓冲带,就可以形成一个生态缓冲体系.④在土地利用类型分布结果基础上,叠加土壤侵蚀强度和水系分布,将污染源区、中度及以上侵蚀强度区、水体区作为缓冲对象,建立缓冲体系的重点区域,总面积约14.26×104 km2,占长江经济带总面积的6.95%.对照欧美地区的研究,6.95%的缓冲体系面积占比是偏低的,需要在长江经济带开展深入研究来确定适宜的缓冲体系面积比,推进长江经济带流域生态缓冲体系的构建.      

长江、黄河流域全新世古洪水事件对比研究

本文通过调研长江、黄河流域全新世古洪水研究相关文献,开展了两大流域全新世古 洪水发生频次空间对比研究。现有资料表明,两大流域全新世古洪水在6000 a BP 以前发生较 少;6000—4000 a BP 古洪水频次上升,在4000 a BP、3000 a BP 前后均出现一个洪水多灾期; 3000 a BP—1000 a BP 两大流域古洪水记录频次呈递减趋势;1000 a BP 以来,两大流域整体上 表现为递增的趋势,而值得注意的是1000 a BP 后,两大流域古洪水记录频次呈现出反相位变化 的趋势。与太阳活动记录对比,发现两个流域洪水发生均与太阳活动相关,但是两个流域洪水 发生对太阳活动的响应相反,长江流域在太阳活动较弱的时期,洪水多发,而黄河流域在太阳 活动较强的时期,洪水多发。     

Toxic effects of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination on nifH gene in soil

Toxic effects of two agrochemicals on nifH gene in agricultural black soil were investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE） and sequencing approaches in a microcosm experiment. Changes of soil nifH gene diversity and composition were examined following the application of acetochlor, methamidophos and their combination. Acetochlor reduced the nifH gene diversity （both in gene richness and diversity index values） and caused changes in the nifH gene composition. The effects of acetochlor on nifH gene were strengthened as the concentration of acetochlor increased. Cluster analysis of DGGE banding patterns showed that nifH gene composition which had been affected by low concentration of acetochlor （50 mg/kg） recovered firstly. Methamidophos reduced nifH gene richness that except at 4 weeks. The medium concentration of methamidophos （150 mg/kg） caused the most apparent changes in nifH gene diversity at the first week while the high concentration of methamidophos （250 mg/kg） produced prominent effects on nifH gene diversity in the following weeks. Cluster analysis showed that minimal changes of nifH gene composition were found at 1 week and maximal changes at 4 weeks. Toxic effects of acetochlor and methamidophos combination on nifH gene were also apparent. Different nifH genes （bands） responded differently to the impact of agrochemicals： four individual bands were eliminated by the application of the agrochemicals, five bands became predominant by the stimulation of the agrochemicals, and four bands showed strong resistance to the influence of the agrochemicals. Fifteen prominent bands were partially sequenced, yielding 15 different nifH sequences, which were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. All sequences were affiliated with the alpha- and beta-proteobacteria, showing higher similarity to eight different diazotrophic genera.     

EDTA-enhanced phytoremediation of lead contaminated soil by Bidens maximowicziana

Phytoremediation is a potential cleanup technology for the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils.Bidens maximowicziana is a new Pb hyperaccumulator,which not only has remarkable tolerance to Pb but also extraordinary accumulation capacity for Pb.The maximum Pb concentration was 1509.3 mg/kg in roots and 2164.7 mg/kg in overground tissues.The Pb distribution order in the B. maximowicziana was:leaf>stem>root.The effect of amendments on phytoremediation was also studied.The mobility of soil Pb and the Pb concentrations in plants were both increased by EDTA application.Compared with CK(control check),EDTA application promoted translocation of Pb to overground parts of the plant.The Pb concentrations in overground parts of plants was increased from 24.23-680.56 mg/kg to 29.07-1905.57 mg/kg.This research demonstrated that B.maximowicziana appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb contaminated soil,especially,combination with EDTA.     

Distribution and ecological effect of mercury in Laogang landfill, Shanghai, China

Laogang landfill near Shanghai is the largest landfill in China, and receives about 10000 t of daily garbage per day, Samples of topsoil and plants were analyzed to evaluate mercury pollution from the landfill. For topsoil samples, there were significant correlations among total mercury （HgT）, combinative mercury （Hgc） and gaseous mercury （HgG）, and content of total organic carbon （TOC）, but, no significantly relationship was found between Hg content and filling time. Hg content changes in vertical profiles with time showed that the average Hgv of profiles 1992, 1996, and 2000 was similar, but their average HgG was quite different. HgT was significantly correlated with Hgc in profile 1992 and 2000, and Hgv was significantly correlated with Hg6 in profile 1996. HgG/Hgv ratio in profile samples decreased in the order of （HgG,/HgT）1992〉（HgG/HgT）1996〉〉（HgG/HgT）2000. A simple outline of Hg release in landfill could be drawn： with increasing of filling time, degradation undergoes different biodegradation, accordingly, gaseous mercury goes through small, more, and small proportion to total mercury. Distribution of Hg in plants was inhomogeneous, following the order of leaf〉root〉stem. The highest value of leaf may be associated with higher atmospheric Hg from landfill. Ligneous plants （e.g. Phyllostachys glanca, Prunus salicina and Ligustrum lucidum） are capable of enriching more Hg than herbaceous plants.     

Arsenic uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizal maize （Zea mays L.） grown in an arsenic-contaminated soil with added phosphorus

The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus mosseae) and phosphorus (P) addition (100 mg/kg soil) on arsenic (As) uptake by maize plants (Zea mays L.) from an As-contaminated soil were examined in a glasshouse experiment.Non-mycorrhizal and zero-P addition controls were included.Plant biomass and concentrations and uptake of As,P,and other nutrients,AM colonization,root lengths,and hyphal length densities were determined.The results indicated that addition of P significantly inhibited root colonization and development of extraradical mycelium.Root length and dry weight both increased markedly with mycorrhizal colonization under the zero-P treatments,but shoot and root biomass of AM plants was depressed by P application.AM fungal inoculation decreased shoot As concentrations when no P was added,and shoot and root As concentrations of AM plants increased 2.6 and 1.4 times with P addition,respectively.Shoot and root uptake of P,Mn,Cu,and Zn increased,but shoot Fe uptake decreased by 44.6%,with inoculation, when P was added.P addition reduced shoot P,Fe,Mn,Cu,and Zn uptake of AM plants,but increased root Fe and Mn uptake of the nonmycorrhizal ones.AM colonization therefore appeared to enhance plant tolerance to As in low P soil,and have some potential for the phytostabilization of As-contaminated soil,however,P application may introduce additional environmental risk by increasing soil As mobility.     

Enzymatic oxidation of aqueous pentachlorophenol

The influence of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 on pentachlorophenol （PCP） oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase was studied. The surfactant was tested at concentrations below and above its critical micelle concentration （CMC）. Enhancement of PCP removal was observed at sub-CMCs. The presence of Tween 80 in the reaction mixture reduced enzyme inactivation which occurred through a combination of free radical attack and sorption by precipitated products. A simple first-order model was able to simulate time profiles for enzyme inactivation in the presence or absence of Tween 80. At supra-CMCs, the surfactant caused noticeable reductions in PCP removal, presumably through micelle partitioning of PCP which precluded the hydrophobic PCP molecule from interacting with the enzyme.     

Decomposition of alachlor by ozonation and its mechanism

Decomposition and corresponding mechanism of alachlor, an endocrine disruptor in water by ozonation were investigated. Results showed that alachlor could not be completely mineralized by ozone alone. Many intermediates and final products were formed during the process, including aromatic compounds, aliphatic carboxylic acids, and inorganic ions. In evoluting these products, some of them with weak polarity were qualitatively identified by GC-MS. The information of inorganic ions suggested that the dechlorination was the first and the fastest step in the ozonation of alachlor.     

Degradation of metabolites accumulated of benzo[a]pyrene by coupling Penicillium Chrysogenum with KMnO4

Several main metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene （BaP） formed by Penicillium chrysogenum, Benzo[a]pyrene-1,6-quinone （BP 1,6- quinone）, trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene （BP 7,8-diol）, 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene （3-OHBP）, were identified by high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）. The three metabolites were liable to be accumulated and were hardly further metabolized because of their toxicity to microorganisms. However, their further degradation was essential for the complete degradation of BaP. To enhance their degradation, two methods, degradation by coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 and degradation only by Penicillium chrysogenum, were compared; Meanwhile, the parameters of degradation in the superior method were optimized. The results showed that （1） the method of coupling Penicillium chrysogenum with KMnO4 was better and was the first method to be used in the degradation of BaP and its metabolites; （2） the metabolite, BP 1,6-quinone was the most liable to be accumulated in pure cultures; （3） the effect of degradation was the best when the concentration of KMnO4 in the cultures was 0.01% （w/v）, concentration of the three compounds was 5 mg/L and pH was 6.2. Based on the experimental results, a novel concept with regard to the bioremediation of BaP-contaminated environment was discussed, considering the influence on environmental toxicity of the accumulated metabolites.     

Impact of atrazine and nitrogen fertilizers on the sorption of chlorotoluron in soil and model sorbents

Sorption of chlorotoluron in ammonium sulfate, urea and atrazine multi-solutes system was investigated by batch experiments. The results showed application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil could affect the behavior of chlorotoluron. At the same concentration of N, sorption of chlorotoluron decreased as the concentration of atrazine increased on the day 0 and 6 in soil, respectively. The sorption of chlorotoluron increased from 0 to 6 d when soils were preincubated with deionized water, ammonium sulfate and urea solution for 6 d. That indicated incubation time was one of the most important factors for the sorption of chlorotoluron in nitrogen fertilizers treatments. The individual sorption isotherms of chlorotoluron in rubbery polymer and silica were strictly linear in single solute system, but there were competition sorption between pesticides or between pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers. That indicated the sorption taken place by concurrent solid-phase dissolution mechanism and sorption on the interface of water-organic matter or water-mineral matter.

Potential of plant polyphenol oxidases in the decolorization and removal of textile and non-textile dyes

In this study an effort has been made to use plant polyphenol oxidases; potato （Solanum tuberosum） and brinjal （Solanum melongena）, for the treatment of various important dyes used in textile and other industries. The ammonium sulphate fractionated enzyme preparations were used to treat a number of dyes under various experimental conditions. Majority of the treated dyes were maximally decolorized at pH 3.0. Some of the dyes were quickly decolorized whereas others were marginally decolorized. The initial first hour was sufficient for the maximum decolorization of dyes. The rate of decolorization was quite slow on long treatment of dyes. Enhancement in the dye decolorization was noticed on increasing the concentration of enzymes. The complex mixtures of dyes were treated with both preparations of polyphenol oxidases in the buffers of varying pH values. Potato polyphenol oxidase was significantly more effective in decolorizing the dyes to higher extent as compared to the enzyme obtained from brinjal polyphenol oxidase. Decolorization of dyes and their mixtures, followed by the formation of an insoluble precipitate, which could be easily removed simply by centrifugation.
