马尾松人工林凋落物产量、养分含量及养分归还量特性

通过文献收集法对亚热带马尾松人工林主要分布区凋落物产量、养分含量和养分归还量进行分析，以研究我国马尾松林主要分布区凋落物养分动态和区域特征，以期在区域尺度上为马尾松林生产经营和生态管理提供更全面和更具普遍性的参考。结果表明：不同地区马尾松人工林凋落物产量差异显著，并随林分龄级而异，10~20、20~30 a龄级马尾松林凋落物产量差异较0~10、30~50 a龄级马尾松林凋落物大，产量最高地区的10~20、20~30龄级林分分别是产量最低地区同一龄级的293、274倍，30~50 a生林分产量最高地区仅是最低地区的137、163倍；凋落物不同养分含量差异显著，三峡库区N元素含量较高，福建三明P、Ca、Mg元素较高，K元素则是贵州龙里较高；广西武宣23 a生林分N归还量是8 a生N归还量的345倍，K归还量则是1013倍。不同凋落物组织器官受环境影响的因素不同，不同林分对环境和立地因子的响应不同，因为气候对凋落物产量的影响具有滞后性，而在局部区域凋落物产量受环境因素影响较大；凋落物养分含量受林分土壤主要养分调节，凋落物养分归还量反映土壤养分的潜力，土壤养分通过马尾松的生长影响凋落物产量，说明马尾松林凋落物养分循环与土壤养分状况有很大关系，二者相辅相成、相互调节

城市湖泊富营养化对水生植物叶片C、N、P化学计量特征的影响

为研究城市湖泊富营养化对水生植物叶片元素组成的影响,在植物生长季,对南京3个湖泊的6种常见水生植物进行碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)生态化学计量学研究,并分析驱动水生植物叶片元素变化的关键环境因子。结果表明:(1)水生植物叶片C、N、P含量变化范围分别为397.03～672.70、10.63～39.16及1.15～13.30 mg/g,叶片C/N、C/P及N/P变化范围分别为13.15～50.36、31.39～458.60及1.88～19.06,其中叶片P含量变异最大,叶片C含量变异最小;(2) Spearman相关性分析表明,芦苇(Phragmites australis)、睡莲(Nymphaea tetragona)和金鱼藻(Ceratophyllum demersum)叶片元素组成与湖泊富营养化综合指数具有显著相关性,叶片P含量随湖泊富营养指数升高而增加,叶片C/P及N/P随之减小;(3) RDA分析表明,春季水生植物叶片C、N、P含量及C/N/P变化主要受水体高锰酸盐指数(COD_(Mn))和底泥总有机碳(SOC)含量的共同影响,夏季主要受水体总磷(TP_W)浓度的影响,秋季主要受底泥总磷(TP_S)含量的影响。     

三峡水库消落带土壤养分含量及生态化学计量特征

作为世界上最大的水利工程,三峡水库的建设和运行对三峡水库消落带土壤环境产生了重大影响。已有研究多关注于三峡库区中某一段消落带或某一支流消落带的土壤环境变化,而缺乏对全库区消落带进行研究。以全库区尺度(8个断面)的不同海拔消落带土壤(155～165和165～175 m)为研究对象,以断面未淹没区(175～185 m)土壤为对比,对土壤养分(土壤有机质-SOM、总氮-TN、总磷-TP、总钾-TK)及生态化学计量(C/N、C/P和N/P)分布特征进行研究。结果表明：(1)消落带SOM、TN、TP和TK的含量均低于未淹没区,而C/N、C/P和P/K的值均高于未淹没区;(2)消落带165～175 m的SOM和TN分别为21.27和1.14 g·kg^-1,均显著低于155～165 m海拔和对照组相对应的土壤养分含量,而T/N和N/P分别为11.07和2.68,与对照组的土壤化学计量比有显著的差异性,且SOM变异性最小为6%、TP变异性最高为24%;(3)三峡库区全域内,上游(涪陵区)和中游(忠县、万州区、云阳县、奉节县)的土壤养分含量显著高于下游(巫山县和秭归县)地区,且SO...     

崇明滩涂湿地不同盐度梯度下芦苇种群及土壤的生态化学计量学特征

为了研究不同盐度梯度下芦苇(Phragmites australis)的生态适应性及其生长的限制因子,对崇明盐度梯度下的3个滩涂湿地生长的芦苇及土壤生态化学计量学指标进行测定;分析不同盐度下芦苇种群的生态化学计量学之间的差异,及土壤与芦苇元素、元素比之间的相关性。结果表明:(1)崇明滩涂湿地土壤C、N、P含量和C/N、C/P、N/P平均值分别是15.01、0.69、0.86g/kg,22.09、21.87、0.96。芦苇的C、N、P含量及C/N、C/P、N/P平均值分别为413.17、10.75、2.53g/kg,41.49、293.58、7.29。(2)随着崇明滩涂湿地土壤盐度增加,土壤的C、N含量及芦苇的C含量、C/N先降低后增加;土壤的C/N、C/P、N/P及植物的C/P、N/P增加;土壤的P含量及植物N、P含量降低。(3)盐度梯度下滩涂湿地土壤与芦苇生态化学计量学中的C、P、C/P、N/P之间均正相关关系,土壤N含量与植物的C/P正相关,与N/P负相关;而C/N与植物P含量之间有负相关性。(4)该研究区土壤的C、N元素较为匮乏,P含量较高;植物的N/P值小于14,说明崇明芦苇生长主要受到N的限制。     

安徽大别山区杉木人工林乔木层生物量模型及碳贮量

根据杉木人工林年龄(10、22、45、48和50年生)梯度,在安徽大别山海拔较高山地调查了23块20m×20m的样地,采集18株不同径阶和树高的标准木,进行了生物量测定。利用7种常用的分别以D、D2、DH和D2 H为自变量的生物量模型对其进行拟合,得到35个生物量估算模型。结果显示,幂函数模型的拟合效果较好,多项式模型效果较差,从中优选出5个最优模型,枝、干、根和全株的最优模型是W=aDb形式的幂函数模型,叶的最优模型是W=a+bD2+cD4形式的多项式模型。杉木不同器官的碳含量变化范围在46.64%~53.13%,过熟林(45~50年生)杉木不同器官的碳含量按高低排列均为树皮树根树叶树枝树干,根系碳含量高于地上部枝叶的碳含量,而中幼林龄(10和22年生)杉木地下部分树根的碳含量明显低于地上部分。碳贮量在不同器官中的分配,10和22年生的高低排序为树干树枝树根树叶,过熟林杉木的高低排序为树干树根树枝树叶。不同林龄杉木林生物量碳贮量分别为10年生59.39、22年生59.55、45年生136.92、48年生201.25和50年生134.60Mg C/hm2。不同林龄的杉木林根系生物量碳贮量比例为14.84%~23.79%,随林龄的增长而提高。研究结果显示较高海拔的立地环境促进了杉木林地下根系生物量积累,这种生物量分配可能对土壤有机碳蓄积产生重要影响。     

攀枝花地区麻疯树人工林群落土壤特性

以20龄的麻疯树人工林以及相应的无林样地为对象,研究了麻疯树人工林的土壤理化性质.结果显示,11月底麻疯树人工林内表层(0～20 cm)平均风干土含水量为 2.72±0.51%、有机质含量为 2.17±0.84 g/kg、全氮 1.08±0.31 g/kg,无林对照样地分别为 2.96±0.31%、2.47±0.62 和 1.11±0.31 g/kg.ANOVA分析结果显示,麻疯树人工林样地土壤有机质含量、全氮、全磷、全钾以及pH值,与无林对照之间没有显著性差异,说明人工林群落的土壤改良作用不明显.土壤全磷的含量与株高、平均冠幅和总分枝数之间存在较为显著的相关关系;麻疯树的地径与表层土壤的全氮和有机质之间存在极显著的正相关.水分也许是限制麻疯树人工林更新的一个重要环境因子,尤其是底层土壤含水量与麻疯树更新苗数量之间存在明显的负相关关系.     

洞庭湖源头流域典型塘库水体氮磷组分、pH、DO及水温昼夜变异特征

池塘和小水库(塘库)是洞庭湖流域分布广泛的小型水体,理解塘库氮磷水质昼夜变化规律有助于辅助制定洞庭湖流域精细的水质观测与污染防控方案。以洞庭湖农业源头流域金井小流域4种典型土地利用景观塘库为研究对象,研究塘库水体理化性质和氮磷组分昼夜变异规律。结果表明：塘库周边土地利用景观类型不仅显著影响塘库水体pH、溶氧(DO)和水温(t)的昼夜变化,而且造成了塘库氮磷组份含量及氮磷计量比差异。居民区、农田和茶园3种景观型塘库水体pH、DO及t昼夜变化明显,曲线呈现倒U型;但观测期内4种景观类型塘库氮磷组分含量昼夜变化相对不明显。居民区、农田及茶园型水体氮磷总量(TN、TP)、溶解态氮磷(TDN、TDP)和颗粒态氮磷(PN、PP)含量显著高于森林型塘库的。并且,水体不同氮磷组分的生态化学计量比值(TN∶TP、TDN∶TDP、PN∶PP)大小排序为：森林(TN∶TP:67.97,TDN∶TDP:65.12, PN∶PP:74.13)>茶园(TN∶TP:30.03,TDN∶TDP:15.10, PN∶PP:52.95)>农田和居民区(TN∶TP:19.40和16.21,TDN∶TDP:23....     

我国南方不同类型草地生产力及对气候变化的响应

为进一步明晰南方不同类型草地的碳源汇关系,预测未来气候情景下可能的碳循环特征,利用本地参数化的BIOME-BGC模型对2001~2010年低山丘陵草原化草甸、典型草山草坡和典型山地草甸样地净初级生产力(NPP)与净生态系统生产力(NEP)进行了模拟估算。不同类型草地的NPP和NEP 10年间变化趋势不同,低山丘陵草原化草甸、典型草山草坡和典型山地草甸的NPP平均值分别为357.17、232.4和191.96gC/(m2·a);NEP的平均值分别为3.25、21.28和81.96gC/(m2·a)。3种类型草地NPP与温度之间存在显著的正相关关系,NEP与温度之间存在着显著的负相关关系;本模型模拟的NPP和NEP与年平均降水量之间相关性不明显。未来气候情景C1P-1T1下(CO2浓度倍增,年均温增加2℃,降水减少10%),低山丘陵草原化草甸样地NPP增加26.93%,NEP增加160%;典型草山草坡样地NPP增加62.20%,NEP增加153%;典型山地草甸样地NPP增加135%,NEP增加206%。3种南方草地类型在未来气候情景下都将有一定的碳汇增长潜力,其中以典型山地草甸的碳汇潜力最为明显,与降水量相比受温度变化的影响相对较大。     

底质营养盐对菹草生长及养分分配的影响

在野外池塘中，利用3种不同营养状况的底质研究底质营养盐对菹草生长及养分分配的影响，结果表明：沉水植物菹草面对底质营养盐的胁迫出现了急性的生理生化反应，在生长初期叶片总的可溶性糖含量在肥沃的底质上高于贫营养底质上；根、茎、叶和石芽各构件都具有异速生长现象，并且表现规律不一样；菹草的根冠比随底质营养盐的不同而变化；随着营养条件对菹草生长胁迫加重，根、冠的异速生长愈明显，同时石芽的N∶P和C∶N比率显著受底质营养盐的影响，而菹草叶片和茎N∶P和C∶N比率不受底质肥力的影响，这些响应将改变石芽第2年的命运和影响种群的维持；在胁迫生境下，菹草首先分配资源到无性繁殖体——石芽上以便维持种群的延续，以回避策略应对底质营养盐胁迫。     

Probabilistic distribution coefficients (Kds) in freshwater for radioisotopes of Ag,Am, Ba,Be, Ce,Co, Cs,I, Mn,Pu, Ra,Ru, Sb,Sr and Th – implications for uncertainty analysis of models simulating the transport of radionuclides in rivers

The objective of this study was to provide operational probability density functions (PDFs) for distribution coefficients (K_ds) in freshwater, representing the partition of radionuclides between the particulate and the dissolved phases respectively. Accordingly, the K_d variability should be considered in uncertainty analysis of transport and risk assessment models. The construction of PDFs for 8 elements (Ag, Am, Co, Cs, I, Mn, Pu and Sr) was established according to the procedure already tested in Durrieu et al. [2006. A weighted bootstrap method for the determination of probability density functions of freshwater distribution coefficients (K_ds) of Co, Cs, Sr and I radioisotopes. Chemosphere 65 (8), 1308–1320]: (i) construction of a comprehensive database where K_ds values obtained under various environments and parametric conditions were collected; (ii) scoring procedure to account for the ‘quality’ of each datapoint (according to several criteria such as the presentation of data (e.g. raw data vs mean with or without replicates), contact time, pH, solid-to-liquid ratio, expert judgement) in the construction of the PDF; (iii) weighted bootstrapping procedure to build the PDFs, in order to give more importance to the most relevant datapoints. Two types of PDFs were constructed: (i) non-conditional, usable when no knowledge about the site of concern is available; (ii) conditional PDFs corresponding to a limited range of parameters such as pH or contact time; conditional PDFs can thus be used when some parametric information is known on the site under study. For 7 other radionuclides (Ba, Be, Ce, Ra, Ru, Sb and Th), a simplified procedure was adopted because of the scarcity of data: only non-conditional PDFs were built, without incorporating a scoring procedure.     

Concentrations of U,U, U,Th, Th,Th, Ra,Ra, Ra,Po, Pb and Pb in drinking water in Italy: reconciling safety standards based on measurements of gross α and β

Some important naturally occurring α- and β-radionuclides in drinking water samples collected in Italy were determined and the radiological quality evaluated. The mean activity concentrations (mBq L⁻¹) of the radionuclides in the water samples were almost in the order: 26 ± 36 (²³⁴U) > 21 ± 30 (²³⁸U) > 8.9 ± 15 (²²⁶Ra) > 4.8 ± 6.3 (²²⁸Ra) > 4.0 ± 4.1 (²¹⁰Pb) > 3.2 ± 3.7 (²¹⁰Po) > 2.7 ± 1.2 (²¹²Pb) > 1.4 ± 1.8 (²²⁴Ra) > 1.1 ± 1.3 (²³⁵U) > 0.26 ± 0.39 (²²⁸Th) > 0.0023 ± 0.0009 (²³⁰Th) > 0.0013 ± 0.0006 (²³²Th). The mean estimated dose (μSv yr⁻¹) to an adult from the water intake was in this order: 2.8 ± 3.3 (²¹⁰Po) > 2.4 ± 3.2 (²²⁸Ra) > 2.1 ± 2.1 (²¹⁰Pb) > 1.8 ± 3.1 (²²⁶Ra) > 0.94 ± 1.30 (²³⁴U) > 0.70 ± 0.98 (²³⁸U) > 0.069 ± 0.087 (²²⁴Ra) > 0.036 ± 0.044 (²³⁵U) > 0.014 ± 0.021 (²²⁸Th) > 0.012 ± 0.005 (²¹²Pb) > 0.00035 ± 0.00029 (²³⁰Th) > 0.00022 ± 0.00009 (²³²Th). It is obvious that ²¹⁰Po, ²²⁸Ra, ²¹⁰Pb and ²²⁶Ra are the most important dose contributors in the drinking water intake. As far as the seventeen brands of analysed drinking water were concerned, the committed effective doses were in the range of 2.81–38.5 μSv yr⁻¹, all well below the reference level of the committed effective dose (100 μSv yr⁻¹) recommended by the WHO. These data throw some light on the scale of the radiological impact on the public from some naturally occurring radionuclides in drinking water, and can also serve as a comparison for the dose contribution from artificial radionuclides released to the environment as a result of human practices. Based on the radionuclide composition in the analysed waters, comment was made on the new screening level for gross α activity in guidelines for drinking-water quality recommended by the WHO, 2004.     

Variability of the sorption of Cs, Zn, Sr, Co, Cd, Ce, Ru, Tc and I at trace concentrations by a forest soil along a transect

The variability of the sorption properties (characterized by the distribution coefficient K_d) of a forest soil for Cs, Zn, Sr, Co, Cd, Ce, Ru, Tc, and I were determined along a transect of 150 m in regular intervals of 3 m. Radioactive tracers were used to ensure trace concentrations of these elements. For comparison, for each soil sample the loss on ignition, as a measure of the soil organic matter content, and the pH were also determined. On average, the K_d values increase in the sequence Tc < I < Ru ≈ Co ≈ Zn ≈ Sr < Cd < Ce < Cs; the spatial variability in the sequence I < Zn ≈ Sr ≈ Co ≈ Cd ≈ Ru ≈ Tc < Cs, and I ≈ Ce < Tc. Correlation analysis revealed that, when moving along the transect, the K_d values for some elements changed in a similar, and for others in a dissimilar pattern. In a few cases a correlation between the pH or the loss on ignition and the K_d values was also present. The spatial structure of the data was examined by semivariograms. For the elements Co, Cd, Zn, and Sr, the K_d values showed an almost periodic behaviour along the transect, which is probably due to periodic changes of some soil properties in a forest with regularly spaced trees.     

Attributable risk, probability of causation, assigned shares, and uncertainty

Calculations of attributable risks, probabilities of causation, and assigned shares attracted increasing interest recently, particularly since the enactment of the Orphan Drug Act. Although efforts have been limited mostly to radiation as the toxic agent, the concept is general to all toxicants. In this paper, the systematic and random uncertainties in calculations of assigned shares are reviewed globally, and possibilities for their reduction are discussed. In addition, an algebraic study is made of the influence of random uncertainties in the input parameters on the random error of the assigned shares. Three dose-effect functions, appropriate for the low-dose, low-effects regions that are of interest here, are chosen for this investigation, and the algebraic properties of the random errors of the assigned shares are discussed. For shares near 0 and 1, the errors are shown to be small and to depend linearly on the value of the shares; the errors are largest for values of the shares near 50%, that is, in the region of almost equal or equal shares.     

Growth response of Scenedesmus to different concentrations of copper, cadmium, nickel, zinc, and lead

The fresh water alga Scenedesmus was cultured in graded concentration of Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn, and Pb to evaluate the effect of these cations on the growth response of Scenedesmus. The effective concentration of metal which depressed the Scenedesmus growth for Cu was 0.5 mg l⁻¹, for Cd 0.5 mg l⁻¹, for Ni 2 mg l⁻¹, and for Zn 2 mg l⁻¹. The alga exhibited tolerance for high Pb concentrations up to 30 mg l⁻¹. Exposure of a Scenedesmus cell to each metal revealed anatomical changes and chloroplast disruption especially at high metal concentrations.     

New best estimates for radionuclide solid–liquid distribution coefficients in soils. Part 3: miscellany of radionuclides (Cd,Co, Ni,Zn, I,Se, Sb,Pu, Am,and others)

New best estimates for the solid–liquid distribution coefficient (K_d) for a set of radionuclides are proposed, based on a selective data search and subsequent calculation of geometric means. The K_d best estimates are calculated for soils grouped according to the texture and organic matter content. For a limited number of radionuclides this is extended to consider soil cofactors affecting soil–radionuclide interaction, such as pH, organic matter content, and radionuclide chemical speciation. Correlations between main soil properties and radionuclide K_d are examined to complete the information derived from the best estimates with a rough prediction of K_d based on soil parameters. Although there are still gaps for many radionuclides, new data from recent studies improve the calculation of K_d best estimates for a number of radionuclides, such as selenium, antimony, and iodine.
