Assessing a Quick Monitoring Method Using Rocky Intertidal Communities as a Bioindicator: A Multivariate Approach in Algeciras Bay

A multivariate approach was used to test the value of intertidal communities as a bioindicator of environmental conditions at Algeciras Bay, southern Spain. The study area is located in the Strait of Gibraltar and it is subjected to a variety of anthropic impacts. Eight localities (5 inside and 3 outside the bay) were selected, and four transects were undertaken in each locality to characterise the fauna and flora. The spatial distribution of the intertidal species reflected the physico-chemical conditions of Algeciras Bay. The stations located outside the bay, characterised by high hydrodynamism and dissolved oxygen and low sedimentation and turbidity, had a higher diversity and species richness than the inner stations. According to the BIO-ENV procedure and CCA, water turbidity was the factor which best correlated with the intertidal assemblages. SIMPER showed that the molluscs Chtamalus stellatus, Mytilus cf edulis, Littorina neritoides and Balanus perforatus, and the algae Gelidium pusillum, Corallina elongata, Asparagopsis armata, Colpomenia sinuosa and Fucus spiralis were the species that most contributed to the dissimilarity between internal and external sites. The present study, based on the spatial distribution of intertidal taxa, yielded similar results to those previously obtained in the area with costly physico-chemical analysis based on complex matrices of subtidal epifaunal communities. Consequently, the intertidal sampling method proposed in this study is presented here as a quick, effective alternative strategy, and can be useful in environmental monitoring programs, since these communities are easily accessible and amenable to sample, and the sessile nature of the majority of the species makes future, long-term monitoring relatively simple.     

长江口潮滩湿地-大气界面碳通量特征

选择长江河口崇明东滩为典型研究区域,使用原位静态箱-气相色谱法,对长江河口潮滩湿地-大气界面碳通量(CH4和CO2)进行了为期一年的现场观测实验.结果表明,观测期内,崇明东滩低潮滩(CM-3)表现为碳的吸收汇,平均碳通量为-13.23 mg·m-2·h-4,且有明显的变化特征,8月为碳吸收的高峰期,2月碳的通量值最低;虽然低潮滩CH4年平均排放通量仅为0.04mg·m-2·h-1,在碳通量中所占比例很小,但却是大气CH4的持续排放源.中潮滩(CM-2)为大气CH4的排放源,在7月达到排放高峰;对CO2而言,光照条件下(明箱)以吸收为主,而无光照时(暗箱)中潮滩是CO2的排放源.中潮滩湿地-大气界面碳的年平均交换通量为51.79 mg·m-2·h-1,显著高于低潮滩,植被和有机质含量的不同是导致两者差异的主要原因.温度和光照是影响碳通量及其季节变化的重要因素.海三棱藨草植株和中、低潮滩藻类的光合作用均显著促进了潮滩对大气碳的吸收.     

影像融合技术在滩涂湿地植被分类中的应用

选择上海崇明东滩鸟类自然保护区的盐沼植被为对象,利用该地区2004年TM多光谱影像与同期SPOT5全色影像进行多种规则的融合,通过计算信息熵、均值、标准差、平均梯度、偏差指数、相关系数和均方根差7项指标,评价选取光谱信息较丰富、空间信息更清晰的融合影像.在此基础上,利用该融合影像进行植被分类,得到滩涂地区典型植被、光滩和水体等专题分类影像及其信息,并利用实地观测的134个样区进行比较验证.研究结果表明:相对于融合前的TM影像,利用Wavelet +IHS方法融合后的图像数据能很好地保留TM影像的多光谱信息,同时增加了其空间分辨率.融合技术可以充分利用各类遥感影像的空间和光谱信息,有效提高海岸带资源调查与监测的精度.

利用生物完整性指数评价流域水生态状况,所得结果对水环境管理决策有重要指导意义。以2006年崇明东滩底栖动物监测数据为参照状态数据,利用长江口1991—2019年和杭州湾2004—2019年潮间带底栖动物监测数据构建底栖动物完整性指数(B-IBI),最终从56个候选指标中确定了6个核心指标:Marglef指数、软体动物相对多度、甲壳动物+多毛纲相对多度、ASPT、科级生物指数和捕食者相对多度。B-IBI评价结果显示:优秀等级样本有44个,良好等级72个,中等等级31个,较差等级7个,很差等级4个;杭州湾北岸水生态状况显著优于长江口南岸(P<0.05)。经验证,B-IBI与水质综合污染指数呈极显著相关(P<0.01),能够有效指示研究区域的水生态状况。

福建罗源湾潮间带沉积物重金属含量空间分布及其环境质量影响

潮间带是典型的环境脆弱带和敏感带.为探明福建罗源湾潮间带的环境质量,于2009年在该区开展了野外调查,利用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪(ICP-AES)测定了该区表层沉积物中重金属(Co、Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb、V、Zn)浓度,用潜在生态风险评价法评价了该区的环境质量.结果表明,整个潮间带表层沉积物主要是粉砂和黏土质粉砂,重金属元素(Co、Cr、Cu、Ni、Pb、V、Zn)的平均含量分别为:20.48、77.82、23.24、40.67、36.25、134.75、111.21 mg.kg-1;互花米草盐沼区表层沉积物中重金属含量明显高于光滩区;与其它地区相比,本区表层沉积物重金属含量明显高于福建海岸带土壤背景值,但低于珠江口地区.主成分分析和相关分析表明,工业排污和生活污水是本区重金属污染的主要来源,而矿床开采以及有机质降解产生的内源释放也是该区重金属元素来源的主要途径之一.潜在生态风险评价显示,研究区具中等程度的潜在生态危害风险;Ni和Co是主要环境污染因子,Pb的污染程度较低;互花米草盐沼的潜在生态风险高于光滩区,不同重金属的潜在生态危害程度顺序为Ni>Co>Cu>Pb>Cr>V>Zn.

Combining heat-transfer and energy budget models to predict thermal stress in Mediterranean intertidal mussels

Recent studies have emphasised that organisms can experience physiological stress well within their geographic range limits. Developing methods for mechanistically predicting the presence, absence and physiological performance of organisms is therefore important because of the ongoing effects of climate change. In this study, we merged a biophysical–ecological (BE) model that estimates the aquatic (high tide) and aerial (low tide) body temperatures of Mytilus galloprovincialis with a Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model to predict growth, reproduction and mortality of this Mediterranean mussel in both intertidal and subtidal environments. Using weather and chlorophyll-a data from three Mediterranean sites along the Italian coasts, we show that predictions of sublethal and lethal (acute) stress can potentially explain the observed distribution (both presence and absence) of mussels in the intertidal and subtidal zones, and the maximum size of animals in the subtidal zones. Importantly, our results suggest that different mechanisms limit the intertidal distribution of mussels, and that these mechanisms do not follow a simple latitudinal gradient. At the northernmost site (Palermo), M. galloprovincialis appears to be excluded from the intertidal zone due to persistent exposure to lethal aerial temperatures, whereas at the southernmost sites (Porto Empedocle and Lampedusa) sublethal stress is the most important driver of mussel intertidal distribution. Our predictions provide a set of hypotheses for future work on the role of climate change in limiting intertidal distribution of mussels in the Mediterranean.
