基于iLME+Geoi-RF模型的四川省PM2.5浓度估算

高分辨率PM2.5空间分布数据对动态监测和控制PM2.5污染具有重要意义.选取Himawari-8气溶胶光学厚度(AOD)、ERA5气象再分析资料、DEM、土地利用数据、夜光遥感数据、增强型植被指数和人口数据等作为估算变量,使用改进的重采样法进行数据匹配,并提出改进的线性混合模型(iLME)结合地理智能随机森林(Geoi-RF)构建组合模型估算PM2.5浓度.结果表明:①在选取的估算变量中,气溶胶光学厚度、气压、温度、相对湿度和边界层高度是影响2016年四川省PM2.5浓度的重要因素,其相关系数分别为0.65、0.58、0.55、0.54和0.35.②iLME+Geoi-RF模型精度相较其他模型有较大提升,模型拟合Rl2、RMSR 和 MAE 分别为0.98、3.25 μg·m-3和 1.98 μg·m-3,交叉验证 R2、RMSR 和 MAE 分别为0.89、7.95 μg·m-3和4.81μg·m-3.该模型可获取更高精度的四川省PM2.5时空分布特征,为区域空气质量评估、人体暴露风险评价和环境污染治理提供更加合理地科学参考.③2016年四川省PM2.5浓度存在显著的季节性差异,各季节PM2.5浓度大小关系为:冬季＞秋季＞春季＞夏季.2016年四川省月均PM2.5浓度总体上呈先降后升的"V"型趋势,最小值在6月,最大值在12月,8月和11月有微小起伏.在空间分布上四川省PM2.5浓度总体上呈东高西低和局部污染程度较高的特点,高值区主要分布在城市快速发展和人口密集的东部地区,低值区主要分布在经济发展落后和人口稀疏的西部地区.④虽然不同模型估算出的PM2.5浓度整体分布基本一致,但iLME+Geoi-RF模型能更准确有效地估算本研究区污染的空间分布.     

基于WRF-CMAQ/ISAM模型的榆林市夏季O3来源解析

为了更清楚地了解榆林市夏季臭氧污染来源,提出科学的治理建议,利用WRF-CMAQ模型对2019年7月榆林市和周边地区(包含太原市、西安市、银川市和呼和浩特市等省会城市)的O₃浓度进行模拟;利用ISAM模块,对榆林市一次重污染过程的O₃和其前体物NO_x、 VOCs来源进行量化.结果表明,重污染日榆林市的O₃主要来自模拟区域外的远距离传输(55.5%),其次是模拟区域内前体物的光化学反应生成(20.6%,榆林市、山西省、内蒙古自治区和陕西省依次为10.0%、 5.0%、 2.3%和2.1%,甘肃省、宁夏回族自治区和河南省合计为1.2%)和初始条件(0.3%),剩余来源(23.6%)未能被成功标记;榆林市处于VOCs控制区,其VOCs由烷烃(76.5%)、酮类(9.2%)和其它种类的VOCs(14.3%)构成,VOCs来源有模拟区域内的污染源排放(45.6%,榆林市、山西省、内蒙古自治区和陕西省依次为22.0%、 11.4%、 6.3%和5.1%,甘肃省、宁夏回族自治区和河南省合计为0.8%)和模拟区域外...     

单过硫酸氢钾复合粉在饮用水消毒过程中的副产物生成特性及遗传毒性变化

以北京田村山净水厂原水和炭后出水作为试验用水,对新型消毒剂单过硫酸氢钾复合粉消毒后生成的消毒副产物(disinfection by-products,DBPs)进行定性分析.向受试水样中分别投加单过硫酸氢钾复合粉和次氯酸钠,比较了复合粉消毒和氯消毒的DBPs生成量,并通过umu试验对水样消毒后的遗传毒性变化进行测试.结果表明,测试水样投加单过硫酸氢钾复合粉消毒前后的有机物种类变化不大,但仍有新的卤代烃和卤代物生成.与氯消毒相比,单过硫酸氢钾复合粉消毒后生成的三卤甲烷(THMs)和卤乙酸(HAAs)的含量更低.另外,根据umu测试的结果,经单过硫酸氢钾复合粉消毒后原水和炭后水的遗传毒性均明显低于氯消毒.然而在水中有机物较多和消毒剂投加量较大时,单过硫酸氢钾复合粉用于消毒仍有一定安全风险.     

Developing a Monitoring Protocol for Visitor-Created Informal Trails in Yosemite National Park,USA

Informal trails created or perpetuated by visitors is a management challenge in many protected natural areas such as Yosemite National Park. This is a significant issue as informal trail networks penetrate and proliferate into protected landscapes and habitats, threatening ecological integrity, aesthetics, and visitor experiences. In order to develop effective strategies for addressing this problem under an adaptive management framework, indicators must be developed and monitoring protocol must be established to gather timely and relevant data about the condition, extent, and distribution of these undesired trail segments. This article illustrates a process of developing and evaluating informal trail indicators for meadows in Yosemite Valley. Indicator measures developed in past research were reviewed to identify their appropriateness for the current application. Information gaps in existing indicator measures were addressed by creating two new indices to quantify the degree of informal trailing based on its land fragmentation effects. The selected indicator measures were applied to monitoring data collected between 2006 and 2008. The selected measures and indices were evaluated for their ability to characterize informal trail impacts at site and landscape scales. Results demonstrate the utility of indicator measures in capturing different characteristics of the informal trail problem, though several metrics are strongly related to each other. The two fragmentation indices were able to depict fragmentation without being too sensitive to changes in one constituent parameter. This study points to the need for a multiparameter approach to informal trail monitoring and integration with other monitoring data. Implications for monitoring programs and research are discussed.     

典型草原不同围封年限植被-土壤系统碳氮贮量的变化

以内蒙古太仆寺旗典型草原为研究对象,研究不同围封年限下的天然草地植物和土壤有机碳、全氮贮量的变化。结果表明：与自由放牧草地相比,重度退化草地采取生长季围封恢复措施后,群落植物和土壤环境在围封8、11、14、21、25年后均得到了明显的改善,地上植物和地下根系生物量及其碳氮贮量、土壤碳氮贮量明显增加,土壤容重降低。自由放牧地和围封8、11、14、21年植物-土壤系统碳贮量分别为7 357.93、7 988.27、8 413.18、12 878.82、8 934.66 g.m-2,氮贮量分别为427.78、494.28、575.49、707.35、615.09 g.m-2。草地围封至14年植物和土壤各项理化性质达到最大值,使得植物-土壤系统的碳氮贮量分别是自由放牧地的1.75和1.65倍,说明植被与土壤间达到了良性循环的状态,退化草地正向演替。随着围封年限的继续增加,其各项指标出现下降趋势。由此可知,季节性围封措施在一定时间内可使退化草地的土壤-植物系统的碳氮贮量增加,草地在一定程度上得到恢复,但适宜的恢复时间和合理利用问题有待进一步讨论。     

A review on the generation, determination and mitigation of Urban Heat Island

Urban Heat Island （UHI） is considered as one of the major problems in the 21st century posed to human beings as a result of urbanization and industrialization of human civilization. The large amount of heat generated from urban structures, as they consume and re-radiate solar radiations, and from the anthropogenic heat sources are the main causes of UHI. The two heat sources increase the temperatures of an urban area as compared to its surroundings, which is known as Urban Heat Island Intensity （UHII）. The problem is even worse in cities or metropolises with large population and extensive economic activities. The estimated three billion people living in the urban areas in the world are directly exposed to the problem, which will be increased significantly in the near future. Due to the severity of the problem, vast research effort has been dedicated and a wide range of literature is available for the subject. The literature available in this area includes the latest research approaches, concepts, methodologies, latest investigation tools and mitigation measures. This study was carded out to review and summarize this research area through an investigation of the most important feature of UHI. It was concluded that the heat re-radiated by the urban structures plays the most important role which should be investigated in details to study urban heating especially the UHI. It was also concluded that the future research should be focused on design and planning parameters for reducing the effects of urban heat island and ultimately living in a better environment.
