江苏历史时期洪涝灾害时空分布特征

以江苏历史文献记录的洪涝灾害为研究对象，分析历史时期江苏地区洪涝灾害发生的时空差异性特征，探讨影响洪涝灾害时空差异性的原因。时间尺度上，历史时期江苏地区洪涝灾害明清时期多发，集中于夏秋季节，其影响因素有长时间异常降水、风暴潮以及厄尔尼诺事件等。空间尺度上，洪涝灾害多发生于太湖平原、里下河平原及沿江地区。唐宋时期，太湖平原、沿江地区是江苏省洪涝灾害最为集中的地区，明代以降苏北平原洪涝灾害更为集中，原因应该是宋代太湖平原人口激增，涸湖造田破坏了太湖东泄水道，明清后泄洪能力得到提升，长江口的演变则使得沿江地区潮灾逐渐减少，而里下河平原因为黄河夺淮入海，导致泥沙沉降，水流不畅，成为洪涝走廊。     

Evaluation of photolysis and hydrolysis of pyraclostrobin in aqueous solutions and its degradation products in paddy water

This study evaluated the hydrolysis and photolysis kinetics of pyraclostrobin in an aqueous solution using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–photodiode array detection and identified the resulting metabolites of pyraclostrobin by hydrolysis and photolysis in paddy water using high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography. The effect of solution pH, metal ions and surfactants on the hydrolysis of pyraclostrobin was explored. The hydrolysis half-lives of pyraclostrobin were 23.1–115.5?days and were stable in buffer solution at pH 5.0. The degradation rate of pyraclostrobin in an aqueous solution under sunlight was slower than that under UV photolysis reaction. The half-lives of pyraclostrobin in a buffer solution at pH 5.0, 7.0, 9.0 and in paddy water were less than 12?h under the two light irradiation types. The metabolites of the two processes were identified and compared to further understand the mechanisms underlying hydrolysis and photolysis of pyraclostrobin in natural water. The extracted ions obtained from paddy water were automatically annotated by Compound Discoverer software with manual confirmation of their fragments. Two metabolites were detected and identified in the pyraclostrobin hydrolysis, whereas three metabolites were detected and identified in the photolysis in paddy water.
