鄱阳湖湿地土壤有机碳氮同位素特征及其环境意义

通过对2011年鄱阳湖及其主要入湖河流(赣江、抚河、信江、修水及饶河)15个湿地土壤样品中δ¹³C及δ¹⁵N的测定,分析探讨了鄱阳湖及其主支流湿地土壤有机质和氮素来源.结果表明:鄱阳湖湖区湿地土壤中总有机碳(TOC)的含量在0.45%~1.58%之间,总氮(TN)含量变化范围为0.06%~0.17%;各入湖河流TOC含量为0.41%~1.18%, TN含量在0.05%~0.13%之间.鄱阳湖湖区湿地土壤有机质δ¹³C及δ¹⁵N变化范围分别为-28.35‰~-18.58‰和3.27‰~6.84‰;各入湖河流湿地土壤δ¹³C和δ¹⁵N分别为-25.93‰~-22.66‰和2.97‰~5.41‰.有机质来源分析表明:除湖口处主要来源于C4植物外,鄱阳湖区及其入湖河流湿地土壤有机质的主要来源是C3植物.湖区湿地土壤氮素来源分析表明吴城处主要受农业化肥使用的影响,而其他采样点湿地土壤有机质氮素主要来源于生活污水;入湖河流湿地土壤氮素来源较复杂,生活污水、化肥及工业污水是其主要来源.     

Metabolic and Environmental Control on Methane Emission from Soils: Mechanistic Studies of Mesotrophic Fen in West Siberia

The biological mechanisms regulating methane emission fromnatural wetlands are the focus of this article. A novel techniqueprovides estimates of the distribution of CH₄ sources withinan undisturbed soil profile by recording the transient gasdynamics after soil enclosure by deep (50 cm) chamber. Thecombined use of conventional surface and soil chambers across a200-m fen transect allowed us to relate the observed methaneemission to its instant generation and uptake. Surprisingly, themethane generation was relatively constant (9–12 mg CH₄-C hr^-1 m^-2) and highly variable net emission (0.2–20 mg CH₄-C hr^-1 m^-2) was closely correlated (r = –0.809)with methane uptake. In laboratory incubations, CH₄ uptakefollowed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Added chloride and nitrateirrespective of the cation's nature suppressed uptake as a strongnoncompetitive inhibitors (K _i 0.5 mM). The methaneformation turned out to be unstable and under anaerobicincubation, the formation of CH₄, CO₂ andH₂displayed sustained weekly oscillations. We conclude that effectsof environmental factors alone are not sufficient topredict the variation in emission, which depends also on metabolic control of respective soil organisms. The multitude ofsuch controls is dependent on diversity of respective soilorganisms and could be grouped into a limited number ofcategories considerably simplifying large-scale simulations.     

Air pollutant emission potentials of cotton textile manufacturing industry

Cotton textile manufacturing operations cause air pollution. Air pollutants are generated by fossil fuel fired combustors due to their flues and/or a variety of chemicals in use for production. Excessive use of chemicals can be stopped or minimized by replacing them or by optimizing the production processes. Energy and water conservation are important goals in textile workplaces as well. There is substantial research and development to minimize pollution potentials of textile operations. In this paper air polluting potentials of cotton textile manufacturing operations are discussed and some quantitative examples are given for evaluating the risks to the environment. Studied impacts to environment cover direct discharges into the ambient air as well as the workplace atmosphere. Further studies are recommended for minimizing the impacts to the local and global air quality due to cotton textile production facilities.     

FLOW VARIABLE DISCHARGE PERMITS1

ABSTRACT: Current approaches to calculating discharge limitations and the use and intent of water quality standards are examined. Flow variable discharge permits, in which the amount of pollutant that may be discharged is based on the magnitude of the flow in the stream, are introduced as an alternative permit strategy that could reduce the cost of pollution control in certain instances while still meeting in-stream water quality objectives. Several possible designs of flow variable discharge permits are presented to show the flexibility of the concept; for example, permits can be based on instantaneous flows, seasonal flows, trigger values, and ranges of flows.

Information sources for flash flood warnings in Denver, CO and Austin, TX

This research examines sources of information for flash floods in two large metropolitan areas, Denver, CO, and Austin, TX. Previous research has noted that information delivery systems for weather forecasts are geared toward the cultural majority and suggests that inadequate warnings are a primary contributor to deaths and injuries from hazards. This investigation used chi-square analysis to determine the prime warning source preferences and preferred time of day for receiving different media. Results indicate that successful warning messages need to be targeted toward specific sub-populations if the warning is to be received, understood, and responded to properly.     

青藏高原湖泊小流域水体离子组成特征及来源分析

对青藏高原咸水湖蓬错、昂仁金错、打加错,淡水湖打加芒错、达格架温泉及各湖入湖支流阴、阳离子组成进行了分析.咸水湖阴离子以HCO-3、SO2-4为主,阳离子以Na+为主,属HCO3-SO4-Na和HCO3-Na型水;各湖支流及淡水湖阴离子以HCO-3或SO2-4为主,阳离子以Ca2+或Mg2+为主,属HCO3-Ca、HCO3-Ca-Mg、HCO3-Mg-Ca、HCO3-SO4-Ca、SO4-HCO3-Ca型水;达格架温泉阴离子以HCO-3为主,阳离子以Na+为主,属HCO3-Na型水.咸水湖主要受蒸发-结晶作用控制,各湖支流及淡水湖主要受碳酸盐岩风化控制,达格架温泉主要受热水-花岗岩作用控制.碳酸盐矿物沉淀时Ca2+优先Mg2+被移除,导致咸水湖具有较高的Mg2+/Ca2+比值.在阳离子组成端元贡献中,碳酸盐岩贡献最大(54%~79%),硅酸盐岩(13%~29%)和蒸发盐岩(4%~23%)次之,大气输入(3%~7%)最小.     

长江口及浙江近岸海域表层沉积物中多环芳烃分布、来源与风险评价

2013年对长江口及浙江近岸海域62个站位表层沉积物中多环芳烃(PAHs)进行了测定.结果表明,16种美国EPA优先控制的PAHs均有检出,PAHs总量水平(干重)为31.8~384μg·kg-1,平均含量为131.1μg·kg-1.其分布受到陆源输入和点源污染的影响,高值区域出现在长江口2号站位和宁波21号站位附近.与国内外其它海区相比,调查海域PAHs总体处于较低污染水平.调查海域沉积物中PAHs以4环、3环为主,来源分析显示PAHs主要来源于木柴、煤炭燃烧.利用沉积物质量基准法(SQGs)评价结果显示,调查海域表层沉积物中PAHs处于较低的生态风险水平;按照沉积物质量标准法(SQSs)评价结果表明,调查海域表层沉积物的PAHs污染已经具有一定程度的"显见生态负效应",需要采取相应的措施进行污染控制和削减.
