用中国北方滩涂湿地优势植物翅碱蓬(Suaeda heteroptera)和潮间带常见物种沙蚕(Nereis succinea)联合处理大连市黑石礁黄海潮间带模拟Pb污染土壤。结果表明,翅碱蓬和沙蚕联合作用,能对Pb~(2+)质量浓度在800mg/kg以下的土壤起到残渣态向可交换态转化的作用,使生物可利用性提高。翅碱蓬和沙蚕联合起协同作用,能显著提高生物体对土壤中总Pb的吸收速率,两者对Pb~(2+)质量浓度800mg/kg以下的土壤30d内都有富集能力,总吸收速率常数随土壤中Pb~(2+)浓度的增大而增大。     

水培翅碱蓬对重金属吸收的研究

由于人类活动以及工业化的迅速发展,滩涂湿地正在遭受前所未有的污染和破坏,其中重金属污染是主要污染问题之一。生物修复技术是近年发展起来的新型环境污染治理方法,它在去除污染的同时还具有较高的环保价值,因此受到人们的广泛关注。以中国北方滩涂湿地的优势种植物翅碱蓬(Suaeda heteroptera kitag)为研究对象,通过测定翅碱蓬体内重金属的含量,分别探讨了翅碱蓬对单一Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd及Cu和Zn、Pb和Cd混合重金属的吸收规律、翅碱蓬不同部位对Cu的积累特性。实验结果表明,翅碱蓬对Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd的最大吸收速率分别为31、101、34、62mg/(kg.d);Cu的存在,促进了翅碱蓬对Zn的吸收,翅碱蓬各部位对Cu的积累量大小为根>茎>叶。     

城市景观河道营养状况与轮虫群落结构

为了解城市景观河道治理过程水质与轮虫群落结构的关系,于2012年5月至2014年12月对江苏省常州市景观河道进行了调查。利用综合营养状态指数法对景观河道的营养状况进行评价;并通过轮虫群落种类组成、优势种、生物量及多样性指数等指标探讨了轮虫群落结构与水体营养水平之间的关系。结果表明,景观河道总体处于富营养状态,主要是由河道中氮磷等污染物浓度过高引起;调查期间检出轮虫共22种,其中优势种为萼花臂尾轮虫(479个·L-1)、蒲达臂尾轮虫(98个·L-1)以及针簇多肢轮虫(137个·L-1);轮虫总数量处于较低水平(312个·L-1),多样性水平不高,轮虫数量与各污染物营养状态指数呈负相关;生物量与总氮营养状态指数呈极显著负相关。     

不同土地利用类型土壤微生物群落特征及其影响因素

土壤微生物群落结构特征能够提前反映土壤环境质量的变化,是土壤质量评价的重要因子。为弄清不同土地利用类型土壤微生物群落特征及其影响因素,以内蒙古呼和浩特赛罕区为研究区,从绿地、园林地、耕地以及荒废地4种不同土地利用类型土壤进行采样研究。研究结果表明:4种不同土地利用类型土壤中主要菌种为细菌、真菌以及放线菌,放线菌比例最大,其次是细菌,真菌比例最小。采样深度、温度、土地利用类型及含水率均影响微生物群落特征。随着采样深度的增加,4种土地利用类型土壤中微生物数量不断减少,0～10cm微生物总数最多。荒废地土壤微生物数量最多,因为荒废地土层中有机质含量高,为微生物的生长提供了营养物质。含水率过高或过低均不利于微生物生长,当处于最佳含水率时微生物数量最大。对于绿地和园林地而言,最佳含水率为10%～15%,耕地最佳含水率为15%～20%,荒废地最佳含水率为10%左右。     

石油烃对翅碱蓬生理特性的影响及植物-微生物联合降解

通过盆栽实验,测定在低浓度石油烃浓度下翅碱蓬的生长生理指标及沉积物和翅碱蓬中石油烃含量的变化,研究石油烃对翅碱蓬生理特性和抗氧化酶系统的影响及植物-微生物联合修复效果。结果表明,翅碱蓬抗氧化酶能够快速提高活性来抵御逆境,植株还可通过增加其叶绿素含量等来适应或补偿逆境造成的损失。同时还发现,当植物处于石油烃污染沉积物时,它体内污染物的分布会与自然情况下有所不同,自然情况下分布为茎>叶>根,受污染时分布为根>茎>叶,该结果可以作为判断沉积物是否受到污染的依据。实验的不同处理(加植物加菌组、只加菌未种植物组、种植物未加菌组)去除率分别为70.87%、63.66%和60.26%,翅碱蓬-降解菌处理的沉积物中石油烃残留浓度最低、去除量最高,表明植物-微生物联合作用更有利于石油烃污染沉积物的修复。     

基于活力和恢复力的典型草原健康评价和群落退化分级研究

根据群落的不同退化演替状况和物种组成情况,随机选取19个位于锡林郭勒高原和呼伦贝尔高原的调查样地,进行典型草原健康评价和群落退化分级研究。结果表明,处在不同退化演替阶段的草原中的群落的优势种类型、活力和恢复力指数均存在很大差异,活力和恢复力指数不存在明显的相关性,这可能是由于活力指数表现的是植物的地上生物量,而恢复力指数表现的是植物的株/丛数,在株/丛数很多的情况下生物量可能很小;草原群落地上总生物量受放牧强度、刈割程度、围封时间、围封前群落状态和区域降水等因素的综合作用,使得各调查样地群落的活力指数差异显著;以中国科学院草原生态系统定位研究站1981年设置的围封的羊草+大针茅草原当时的状态作为参照系统,评价了呼伦贝尔高原和锡林郭勒高原典型草原的健康状况,并对其退化程度进行了量化分级,可为草原管理、植被恢复重建和生态系统健康评价提供参考。     

浮萍植物在污水处理中的应用研究进展

浮萍科植物是漂浮生长在水流相对平缓的湖泊河湾水面上植物类群,整个植株完全退化为一个呈圆形或椭圆形的叶状体,主要是通过根或叶状体从水中吸收所需的氮磷等各种营养物质.浮萍科植物的氮磷含量和生长速率高并可以耐受多种污水条件,因此这个类群是污水处理生态工程中重要的水生植物类群.以浮萍为主的污水处理系统已得到较多的研究和应用,这类系统最大特点是浮萍的生长可以大量吸收污水中的氮磷,从而具有较高的氮磷去除率,同时生成的生物量可多种方式利用.因此利用这类系统对污水进行氮磷的处理与转化,并将生成的浮萍生物量适当地资源化利用是未来的发展方向.     

河口及潮汐河流水质模型

4.1 概述 所谓河口,是指入海河流受到潮汐作用的一段水体,即感潮河段。它与一般河流最显著的区别是受潮汐的影响,流量变化剧烈,并随海潮的入侵带来大量的Cl~-离子。以此可见,河口系统比河流体系更为复杂,它不仅受来自上流河段污染物的影响,而且同时受到潮汐的作用。潮汐对河口的水质影响具有两面性,一方面由于海潮侵入而带来大量的溶解氧,与上流河段的淡水汇合,使得水体中的污染物分布更均匀,从而起到稀释和混合作用。从这一点上来讲。可以把潮汐看作是一种减轻上游河流污染的一种自然     

再生水补水河道中流速对浮游藻类生长影响的模拟实验

以再生水为主要补给水源的城市河道中,避免藻类水华是河道调控的重点之一。实际调控中,在控制藻类数量增长的同时,还应关注藻类群落的多样性,降低由于优势藻种的生长而导致水华的可能。在3种水深下各设置7组流速条件,利用环形水槽模拟研究不同组合条件下河道单元水体中浮游藻类的生长情况,通过计算藻类比生长率和藻类群落的香浓-威纳(Shannon-Wiener)指数描述藻类增长速率和群落生物多样性,从而对浮游藻类生长情况进行综合评价。实验结果显示,相同水深下浮游藻类比生长率在0.05~0.08 m·s~(-1)流速范围内出现最大值,而适当降低水深有利于提高水体浮游藻类的群落多样性。综合分析比生长率和多样性得到,在0~0.05 m·s~(-1)流速附近产生水华的潜势较高。     

不同污泥负荷下SBR处理游泳馆污水的微生物群落的演变

污泥负荷直接影响微生物的生长模式,当污泥负荷发生变化时,短时间内微生物群落结构将发生明显变化。为了研究污泥负荷冲击对SBR系统内活性污泥微生物群落结构的影响,应用聚合酶链式反应-变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCRDGGE)技术,对不同污泥负荷冲击时,SBR处理游泳馆污水中的活性污泥微生物进行了考查。研究表明,在不同污泥负荷冲击的条件下,以MBR污泥为接种污泥,SBR工艺处理游泳馆污水系统内活性污泥微生物群落结构变化明显,多样性指数随着污泥负荷升高而逐渐增加并趋于稳定,但污泥冲击负荷过高多样性指数反而下降,SBR系统内微生物菌种大部分为未经培养菌种,肠杆菌属、甲苯单胞菌属以及γ-变形菌纲细菌等。微生物通过对不同负荷阶段环境条件的适应及演变,逐渐形成了适应相应污泥负荷的微生物种群。     

The Governance of the Mitigation of the Baltic Sea Eutrophication: Exploring the Challenges of the Formal Governing System

This article focuses on the governing system of the mitigation of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. Policies and measures of the Baltic Sea coastal countries, the macro--regional (HELCOM) level, and the level of the European Union are described and governance challenges explicated. We found that the main challenges at different governance levels include: differences between coastal countries in terms of environmental conditions including environmental awareness, overlaps of policies between different levels, the lack of adequate spatial and temporal specification of policies, and the lack of policy integration. To help to meet these challenges, we suggest closer involvement of stakeholders and the public, the improvement of the interplay of institutions, and the introduction of a “primus motor” for the governance of the mitigation of eutrophication in the Baltic Sea.     

Effect of the pesticide lindane on the biomass of the microalgae Nannochloris oculata

This study assesses the growth of the microalgae Nannochloris oculata in the presence of lindane and the ability of N. oculata to remove lindane from media. Algal biomass increased with 0.1 and 0.5 mg L^?1 of lindane, and lindane concentrations in the media decreased. N. oculata removed 73% and 68.2% of lindane in the 0.1 and 0.5 mg L^?1 media concentrations, respectively. Algal biomass decreased to the level of the control at lindane concentrations greater than 2.5 mg L^?1, probably due to toxicity. N. oculata removed lindane from the media at concentrations lower than 1.0 mg L^?1. Thus, N. oculata may be useful for lindane bioremediation in contaminated aquatic systems.     

Investigation of the characteristics of the reflectivity of clouds

This paper investigates some of the reflectivity characteristics that clouds (when modelled as solid bodies) must exhibit to be compatible with observations that the reflecting surface of a cloud (i) appears almost equally bright across its face, (ii) is brightest when the cloud is opposite to the Sun but decreases in brightness as the cloud moves to other positions and (iii) increases in brightness with increasing optical thickness of the cloud in the observer's line of sight. These observations, respectively, are shown to imply that the peak value of the bidirectional total reflectivity from a cloud surface (i) increases in inverse proportion to the cosine of the angle between the Sun and the normal to the cloud surface, as the incident angle increases, (ii) appears to be directed back in the direction of the incident radiation, and (iii) increases as optical thickness of the cloud in the observer's line of sight increases. The results could have application in many fields (e.g. modelling diffuse radiance distributions for cloudy skies).

通过分析底泥中微生物的酶活性以及污染物的释放规律,探讨了温度对河道底泥生物修复的影响.结果表明,底泥中微生物的脱氢酶、脲酶和磷酸酶的活性随着温度的升高而显著增大,但温度对纤维素酶的活性影响较小.4 ℃和10 ℃时底泥中污染物的释放量和微生物的酶活性均较低,水质较稳定;20～37 ℃时底泥中污染物的释放量明显增加,微生物的新陈代谢能力有较大提高,水体的自净能力较强.在各种因素的综合作用下,20～30 ℃是进行底泥生物修复的适宜环境温度.此外,当pH为9.0以及添加葡萄糖时,底泥中微生物均表现出较高的脱氢酶活性.     

Characterization and application of the enzyme peroxidase to the degradation of the mycotoxin DON

Deoxynivalenol (DON), one of the main mycotoxins found in food matrices, has high level of toxicity. This study aimed to characterize the peroxidase enzyme extracted from rice bran to be applied to the biodegradation of DON in order to evaluate the potential peroxidase (PO) from rice bran (RB) has to degrade DON in optimal conditions. Purification and recovery factors of PO extracted from RB and purified by three-phase partitioning were 5.7% and 50%, respectively. PO had the highest level of activity in the phosphate buffer 5 mM pH 5.5 in both crude and purified forms, whose reaction temperatures were 25°C and 10°C. At the end of production, purification and characterization steps, specific activities of the bran were 115.79 U mg^?1 and 4363 U g^?1. Reduction in the mycotoxin DON in optimal conditions determined for PO from RB was 20.3%, a promising result when the aim is to adequate mycotoxicological levels to foods.     

Determining the role of humic substances in the fate of pesticides in the environment

Abstract

The data presented in this paper emphasize that the behavior and fate of pesticides in the environment is influenced by humic substances. Various methods most frequently used for the characterization of humic substances are discussed. Both humic acid and fulvic acid can solubilize in water certain organic compounds and are important carriers of some pesticides in soil. Humic substances have the potential for promoting the nonbiological degradation of many pesticides. Several methods of bleaching humus color from drinking water, including chlorination, ozonation, and UV‐radiation, are described. Finally, the photochemical stability to UV‐radiation of certain pesticides in aqueous fulvic acid solution is discussed.     

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition: revisiting the question of the importance of the organic component

The organic component of atmospheric reactive nitrogen plays a role in biogeochemical cycles, climate and ecosystems. Although its deposition has long been known to be quantitatively significant, it is not routinely assessed in deposition studies and monitoring programmes. Excluding this fraction, typically 25-35%, introduces significant uncertainty in the determination of nitrogen deposition, with implications for the critical loads approach. The last decade of rainwater studies substantially expands the worldwide dataset, giving enough global coverage for specific hypotheses to be considered about the distribution, composition, sources and effects of organic-nitrogen deposition. This data collation and meta-analysis highlights knowledge gaps, suggesting where data-gathering efforts and process studies should be focused. New analytical techniques allow long-standing conjectures about the nature and sources of organic N to be investigated, with tantalising indications of the interplay between natural and anthropogenic sources, and between the nitrogen and carbon cycles.     

Industrial plastic on the southern beaches of the Arabian Gulf and the western beaches of the Gulf of Oman

The increasing production and use of plastic in the Arabian Gulf combined with shipping and waste disposal practices, have increased the concentration of plastic particles on the sea's surface and beaches. The objective of this investigation was to provide an assessment of the abundance, distribution, potential sources and significance of industrial plastic on the western beaches of the United Arab Emirates on the Arabian Gulf and on the eastern beaches on the Gulf of Oman. The abundance of stranded plastic pellets was highly uneven. By early 1992 alarming levels of fresh plastic pellets were noticed on the Arabian Gulf beaches of the UAE. Large numbers of 25 kg sacks of white plastic spherules manufactured by (SABIC) in Jubail, Saudi Arabia were washed ashore. When compared to the west coast on the Arabian Gulf, the east coast on the Gulf of Oman exhibited much lower levels of plastic pellets. When compared to other parts of the world, the beaches of the UAE on the Arabian Gulf are considered to be heavily polluted with industrial plastic.     

Influence of the application of sewage sludge on the degradation of pesticides in the soil

A study was made of the influence of the application of sewage sludge on the degradation of pesticides in the soil. Two kinds of sludge were used, with different characteristics, one from an urban treatment plant and one from a food processing plant. Three organophosphorus insecticides, fenitrothion, diazinon and dimethoate, were studied. The relative importance was determined of the chemical and biological degradation processes, which involved experiments on soil and sterile soil samples. A comparative study was also made of the degradation of pesticide residues and the evolution of the microbial population. The application of sludge seems to have a complex effect on the degradation of pesticides, determined by the bioavailability and biodegradability of their active ingredient. The biodegradation of pesticide residues brings about alterations in the microorganism population of the soil.     

Assessment of the effects of the carbamazepine on the endogenous endocrine system of Daphnia magna

In the present study, the endocrine activity of the antiepileptic pharmaceutical carbamazepine (CBZ) in the crustacean Daphnia magna was assessed. To assess the hormonal activity of the drug, we exposed maternal daphnids and embryos to environmental relevant concentrations of CBZ (ranging from 10 to 200 μg/L) and to mixtures of CBZ with fenoxycarb (FEN; 1 μg/L). Chronic exposure to CBZ significantly decreased the reproductive output and the number of molts of D. magna at 200 μg/L. This compound induced the production of male offspring (12?±?1.7 %), in a non-concentration-dependent manner, acting as a weak juvenile hormone analog. Results showed that this substance, at tested concentrations, did not antagonize the juvenoid action of FEN. Further, CBZ has shown to be toxic to daphnid embryos through maternal exposure interfering with their normal gastrulation and organogenesis stages but not producing direct embryo toxicity. These findings suggest that CBZ could act as an endocrine disruptor in D. magna as it decreases the reproductive output, interferes with sex determination, and causes development abnormality in offspring. Therefore, CBZ could directly affect the population sustainability.
