Responses of greenhouse gas fluxes to experimental warming in wheat season under conventional tillage and no-tillage fields

Understanding the effects of warming on greenhouse gas(GHG, such as N_2O, CH_4 and CO_2 )feedbacks to climate change represents the major environmental issue. However, little information is available on how warming effects on GHG fluxes in farmland of North China Plain(NCP). An infrared warming simulation experiment was used to assess the responses of N_2O, CH_4 and CO_2 to warming in wheat season of 2012–2014 from conventional tillage(CT) and no-tillage(NT) systems. The results showed that warming increased cumulative N_2O emission by 7.7% in CT but decreased it by 9.7% in NT fields(p 0.05). Cumulative CH_4 uptake and CO_2 emission were increased by 28.7%–51.7% and 6.3%–15.9% in both two tillage systems,respectively(p 0.05). The stepwise regressions relationship between GHG fluxes and soil temperature and soil moisture indicated that the supply soil moisture due to irrigation and precipitation would enhance the positive warming effects on GHG fluxes in two wheat seasons.However, in 2013, the long-term drought stress due to infrared warming and less precipitation decreased N_2O and CO_2 emission in warmed treatments. In contrast, warming during this time increased CH_4 emission from deep soil depth. Across two years wheat seasons, warming significantly decreased by 30.3% and 63.9% sustained-flux global warming potential(SGWP) of N_2O and CH_4 expressed as CO_2 equivalent in CT and NT fields, respectively. However, increase in soil CO_2 emission indicated that future warming projection might provide positive feedback between soil C release and global warming in NCP.     

三峡库区沉积物秋末冬初的磷释放通量估算

2010年11月～12月在三峡水库开展了沉积物内源负荷调查,对云阳等6个长江干流点和9条支流河口的沉积物-水界面正磷酸盐含量(PO34--P)进行了分析.结果表明,支流上覆水和孔隙水中PO34--P含量略高于干流,其中支流孔隙水中的含量为9.59～29.79μg.L-1,干流孔隙水中的含量为9.01～25.36μg.L-1.根据Fick第一定律公式得到郭家坝和小江河口为PO34--P的"汇",释放通量分别为-0.63 mg.(m2.a)-1和-0.60 mg.(m2.a)-1,其它区域的PO34--P均是由孔隙水向上覆水进行扩散,释放通量的范围为0.15～2.47 mg.(m2.a)-1.假设分子扩算是沉积物营养元素迁移的主要途径,库区水体混合均匀,估算出沉积物孔隙水营养元素在沉积物-水界面的扩散迁移对上覆水体的影响程度较小,仅有-0.011%～0.098%.目前三峡水库沉积物作为内源,释磷作用还未对水质产生较大影响,但不排除水库外部污染源得到控制后,三峡库区沉积物内源营养负荷的潜在释放风险.     

Oxyanion flux characterization using passive flux meters: development and field testing of surfactant-modified granular activated carbon

We report here on the extension of Passive Flux Meter (PFM) applications for measuring fluxes of oxyanions in groundwater, and present results for laboratory and field studies. Granular activated carbon, with and without impregnated silver (GAC and SI-GAC, respectively), was modified with a cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA), to enhance the anion exchange capacity (AEC). Langmuir isotherm sorption maxima for oxyanions measured in batch experiments were in the following order: perchlorate>chromate>selenate, consistent with their selectivity. Linear sorption isotherms for several alcohols suggest that surfactant modification of GAC and SI-GAC reduced (approximately 30-45%) sorption of alcohols by GAC. Water and oxyanion fluxes (perchlorate and chromate) measured by deploying PFMs packed with surfactant-modified GAC (SM-GAC) or surfactant-modified, silver-impregnated GAC (SM-SI-GAC) in laboratory flow chambers were in close agreement with the imposed fluxes. The use of SM-SI-GAC as a PFM sorbent was evaluated at a field site with perchlorate contamination of a shallow unconfined aquifer. PFMs packed with SM-SI-GAC were deployed in three existing monitoring wells with a perchlorate concentration range of approximately 2.5 to 190 mg/L. PFM-measured, depth-averaged, groundwater fluxes ranged from 1.8 to 7.6 cm/day, while depth-averaged perchlorate fluxes varied from 0.22 to 1.7 g/m2/day. Groundwater and perchlorate flux distributions measured in two PFM deployments closely matched each other. Depth-averaged Darcy fluxes measured with PFMs were in line with an estimate from a borehole dilution test, but much smaller than those based on hydraulic conductivity and head gradients; this is likely due to flow divergence caused by well-screen clogging. Flux-averaged perchlorate concentrations measured with PFM deployments matched concentrations in groundwater samples taken from one well, but not in two other wells, pointing to the need for additional field testing. Use of the surfactant-modified GACs for measuring fluxes of other anions of environmental interest is discussed.     

京蒙沙源区水库大气氮沉降变化特征及源解析

以京蒙沙源区大河口水库为研究对象,于2017年1月~12月对水库周围布设的12个大气沉降监测站点收集样品144个,测定大气干、湿沉降物中TN浓度,计算大气总氮干、湿沉降通量,分析大气TN干、湿沉降污染特征及季节性变化特征.另选取水库周边不同典型地块,布设14个采样点采集样品76个,测定土壤δ¹⁵N-TN含量水平,解析水库大气氮沉降主要来源,并借助HYSPLIT4气团后向轨迹模型分析各季节不同类型气团输移营养盐对大河口水库的影响.结果表明：水库全年大气TN干沉降通量变化范围为122.44~425.64kg/（km²·month）,平均值为200.83kg/（km²·month）;湿沉降通量变化范围1.23~188.89kg/（km²·month）,平均值为66.33kg/（km²·month）.大气总氮年沉降通量为3205.9kg/（km²·a）,约为全国氮沉降平均水平（790kg/（km²·a））的4.06倍.从沉降类型上来看,大气沉降主要以干沉降为主,占沉降总量的75.17%,湿沉降占总沉降通量的24.83%.大气氮干沉降通量表现为春、秋季节明显高于夏、冬季节,湿沉降通量春、夏季明显高于秋、冬季节的季节性变化规律.通过对典型地块δ¹⁵N-TN同位素数据分析,表明夏季有71.4%的大气沉降样品来源于不可分辨的混合源输入,春、秋、冬季大河口水库超过45%的样品来源于沙地,另一大污染源为研究区周围的耕地.运用HYSPLIT4后向轨迹模型证明,从蒙古国入境的气团对研究区污染物大气输移影响较大,冬季采暖期间的大气污染和春季频繁发生的沙尘暴是造成北方沙区水体春季水环境变差的因素之一.

调水调沙对黄河口及邻近海域溶存甲烷的影响

于黄河第9次调水调沙期间在黄河下游垦利站开展调查,分析了调水调沙对黄河溶存甲烷浓度分布及黄河甲烷年入海通量的影响.于2009年6~7月黄河调水调沙前、中、后期对黄河口及邻近海域开展调查,探讨了调水调沙对黄河口甲烷分布的影响.结果表明:调水调沙期间黄河垦利站甲烷浓度变化范围为9.89~205.34nmol/L,与径流量和悬沙含量呈正相关,表明甲烷主要来源于河床底层浮泥的释放.调水调沙期间黄河向渤海输送的甲烷约为2.2×105mol,约占2009年黄河向渤海输送甲烷总量的50%,调水调沙对甲烷输送通量在年内的分配有较大影响.黄河口及其邻近海域的三次调查结果显示甲烷浓度范围为3.71~37.77nmol/L,受黄河冲淡水影响较大.据估算黄河口甲烷的饱和度为(649.7±292.1)%,黄河口及其邻近海域是大气甲烷的净源.     

The Role of Macrophytes in the Retention of Phosphorus in the River Thame,England

The effects of the growth of the dominant species of macrophytes on phosphorus transport in the River Thame, a nutrient enriched lowland clay catchment in southern England, were assessed using a mass-balance approach. Macrophyte abundance was estimated between late March and early June at three sites along the river. the plant biomass of phosphorus and the total phosphorus content of sediments in the main part of the river channel and sediments associated with the plant roots were measured on each occasion. Total phosphorus concentrations in the river water were measured at weekly intervals at a gauging station at the lower end of the study reach.

The results showed that the phosphorus content of plants at the site most impacted by sewage derived phosphorus was < 1% of the flux of total phosphorus estimated for the water column in April and May. Phosphorus contained in the total standing crop of macrophytes at the least impacted site was estimated as approximately 3% of the mean daily flux of total phosphorus in the water. Although no trends were found in the total phosphorus contents of the roots, shoots or sediments through the season, differences in the phosphorus content of the sediments were found between sites with different phosphorus loading. Higher porewater and Equilibrium Phosphate Concentrations (EPC_oS) were recorded at the site most impacted by sewage effluent when compared to an upstream sampling site.     

太湖地区典型轮作与休耕方式对稻田水稻季N2O和CH4排放量的影响

轮作休耕是实现"藏粮于地、藏粮于技"的重要途径之一,目前在太湖稻田区域主要推广紫云英(Astragalus sinicus L.)-水稻(Oryza sativa L.)、油菜(Brassica napus L.)-水稻和休耕-水稻典型轮作与休耕方式。在太湖地区典型稻田水稻生长季设置了6个处理:(1)紫云英-水稻轮作,不施N肥处理,MRN0;(2)紫云英-水稻轮作,当地常规施肥量(300 kg·hm^-2,以纯氮计,下同),MRN300;(3)油菜-水稻轮作,不施N肥处理,RRN0;(4)油菜-水稻轮作,当地常规施肥量(300 kg·hm^-2),RRN300;(5)休耕-水稻轮作,不施N肥处理,FRN0;(6)休耕-水稻轮作,当地常规施肥量(300 kg·hm^-2),FRN300。通过田间试验,研究了不同轮作与休耕方式对水稻产量、氮肥利用率及稻田温室气体CH₄和N₂O排放的影响,从而为综合评价轮作休耕方式提供科学依据。田间试验结果显示,与不施氮肥处理相比,在不同轮作休耕方式下施氮300 kg·hm^-2,可增加53.7%—60.0%的水稻产量,以MRN300处理水稻产量最高,与RRN300和FRN300处理相比,水稻产量分别提高了1.6%和6.0%。在不施氮水平下,MRN0、RRN0和FRN0各轮作处理间N₂O排放通量和累积排放量均值差异不显著(P>0.05)。而在施氮300 kg·hm^-2下,紫云英-水稻轮作可降低N₂O排放通量和累积排放量,与RRN300和FRN300处理相比,N₂O排放通量分别降低了36.0%(P<0.05)和2.1%(P>0.05)。在同一施氮水平下,紫云英-水稻轮作CH₄排放通量和累积排放量最小,与RRN300和FRN300处理相比,MRN300处理CH₄排放通量分别降低了1.1%和6.7%,CH₄和N₂O的全球增温潜势(GWP)分别降低了3.3%和6.5%,单位水稻产量温室气体排放强度(GHGI)分别降低了4.6%和11.6%。综上,紫云英-水稻轮作对提高水稻产量,降低温室气体排放效果最好。     

Accumulation of pollutant nitrogen in calcareous and acidic grasslands: Evidence from N flux and 15N tracer studies

Semi-natural calcareous and acidic grasslands are known to be sensitive to increased atmospheric N deposition. However, the fate of pollutant N within these systems is unknown. This paper reports on the first studies to determine the fate of added N within a calcareous and an acidic grassland subject to long-term simulated enhanced N deposition. Intact soil/turf cores were removed from field plots treated for six years with enhanced N deposition (ambient +0, +35 and +140 kg N ha^–1 year^–1). Cores were inserted into lysimeters and output fluxes of N were monitored in detail. Complete N budgets—calculated from the N flux data—showed considerable accumulation of N within the treated grasslands, up to 76% and 38% of pollutant N in the calcareous and acidic grasslands respectively. In the second study, the short-term (21 day) fate of pollutant N was determined by tracing ¹⁵N labelled ammonium nitrate (+35 kg N ha^–1 year^–1) though the acidic and calcareous lysimeters into plant, soil and leachate pools. Up to 91% and 59% of ¹⁵N was recovered in soils and vegetation of the calcareous and acidic grasslands respectively, with negligible amounts recovered in soil extractable ammonium and nitrate (<0.3%) and in leachate (<0.02%). This rapid short-term immobilisation of pollutant N supports the long-term accumulation of the element calculated from the N flux study.
