Soil enzyme activities and their indication for fertility of urban forest soil

To reveal the biological characteristics of urban forest soil and the effects of soil enzyme on soil fertility as well as the correlation between physicochemical properties and enzyme activities, 44 urban forest soil profiles in Nanjing were investigated. Basic soil physicochemical properties and enzyme activities were analyzed in the laboratory. Hydrogen peroxidase, dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, and cellulase were determined by potassium permanganate titration, TTC (C₁₉H₁₅N₄·Cl) colorimetry, phenyl phosphate dinatrium colorimetry, and anthrone colorimetry, respectively. The result showed that soil pH, organic carbon (C), and total nitrogen (N) had great effects on hydrogen peroxidase, dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase activities in 0–20 cm thick soil. However, pH only had great effect on hydrogen peroxidase, dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase activities in 20–40 cm thick soil. Hydrogen peroxidase, dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase were important biological indicators for the fertility of urban forest soil. Both in 0–20 cmand 20–40 cmsoil, soil enzyme system (hydrogen peroxidase, dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, and cellulase) had a close relationship with a combination of physicochemical indicators (pH, organic C, total N, available K, available P, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and microbial biomass carbon (C_mic)). The more soil enzyme activities there were, the higher the fertility of urban forest soil. __________ Translated from Urban Environment & Urban Ecology, 2007, 20(4): 4–6, 9 [译自: 城市环境与城市生态]     

南京城郊结合部拓展的机制、问题与对策

探讨了新时期南京城郊结合部拓展的特征与机制。南京城郊结合部拓展的特征表现为以下方面：在经济发展上,城郊结合部发展速度高于远郊县,但低于城区;在人口城市化上,是人口增长最快的地区;在土地利用上,城郊结合部粗放发展。就拓展机制而言,认为当前南京城郊结合部的拓展主要是由城市向郊区分散发展的新战略、巨型工程的建设和行政区划调整等力量的驱动。目前,快速发展的南京城郊结合部也面临很多问题,诸如用地粗放、城中村问题、基础设施和服务设施建设滞后、对生态和开敞空间的侵占等。认为这些问题的根源在于两个方面--城乡双轨体制造成的政策缺位和郊区政府的企业化行为。最后,对优化南京城郊结合部的发展提出若干建议。这些建议包括创新制度,消除城乡壁垒;有机疏散,有效控制城市蔓延;引导城郊结合部房地产和大学城的发展;加强外来人口管理,采用激活的方式改造城中村。

Anomalous Ba/Ca signals associated with low temperature stresses in Porites corals from Daya Bay, northern South China Sea

Barium to calcium (Ba/Ca) ratio in corals has been considered as a useful geochemical proxy for upwelling, river flood and other oceanic processes. However, recent studies indicated that additional environmental or biological factors can influence the incorporation of Ba into coral skeletons. In this study, Ba/Ca ratios of two Porites corals collected from Daya Bay, northern South China Sea were analyzed. Ba/Ca signals in the two corals were ‘anomalous’ in comparison with Ba behaviors seen in other near-shore corals influenced by upwelling or riverine runoff. Our Ba/Ca profiles displayed similar and remarkable patterns characterized by low and randomly fluctuating background signals periodically interrupted by sharp and large synchronous peaks, clearly indicating an environmental forcing. Further analysis indicated that the Ba/Ca profiles were not correlated with previously claimed environmental factors such as precipitation, coastal upwelling, anthropogenic activities or phytoplankton blooms in other areas. The maxima of Ba/Ca appeared to occur in the period of Sr/Ca maxima, coinciding with the winter minimum temperatures, which suggests that the anomalous high Ba/Ca signals were related to winter-time low sea surface temperature. We speculated that the Ba/Ca peaks in corals of the Daya Bay were most likely the results of enrichment of Ba-rich particles in their skeletons when coral polyps retracted under the stresses of anomalous winter low temperatures. In this case, Ba/Ca ratio in relatively high-latitude corals can be a potential proxy for tracing the low temperature stress.     

南海北部海域底泥微生物的腐殖质还原性能研究

微生物的腐殖质还原过程自1996年发现以来,日益成为环境领域的一个研究热点。以南海北部海域的8个底泥为实验材料,利用蒽醌-2,6,-双磺酸（AQDS）为腐殖质模式物,初步探讨了南海北部8个底泥培养物对腐殖质的还原能力,并探讨了驯化后的8个底泥微生物对腐殖质的还原过程。结果发现：从南海北部深海海域到海陆交接的香港米浦红树林的8个底泥样品培养液均能很好的还原AQDS;驯化后的8个站点底泥微生物对腐殖质还原的能力有所不同,在48 h,E425站点培养液中的OD450只有0.74,其余7个站点培养液中的OD450都在2.0~3.0之间,推测其原因是8个站点中腐殖质还原微生物的数量具有明显差异,使得各站点的OD450差异很大。研究结果为认知腐殖质还原微生物的分布和探究腐殖质还原微生物在环境中的生态学意义提供重要的理论依据。

乌鞘岭南、北坡降水稳定同位素特征及水汽来源对比

为了揭示季风边缘区降水中稳定同位素特征及水汽来源,利用2016年10月至2017年10月采集的97个降水样品,采用相关分析和HYSPLIT模型,对乌鞘岭南、北坡降水稳定同位素的特征、大气水线方程、温度和降水量效应、水汽来源进行了对比分析.结果表明,南坡大气降水线的斜率与截距低于全球大气水线(GMWL)和北坡大气降水线;南、北坡的同位素温度效应和季节效应明显,但北坡的温度效应比南坡更为明显;除北坡夏季和南坡降水量小于5 mm时降水稳定同位素表现出微弱的降水量效应,南、北坡其它季节或其它降水量级均无明显的降水量效应;来自西北和北方的水汽占90%以上,北坡受季风水汽影响极少,南坡夏季会受到东南季风影响,局地水汽再循环对乌鞘岭南、北坡水汽也有贡献.本研究可提高对高寒山区降水同位素演化的认知,为寒旱区同位素水文学的进一步研究奠定基础.
