长江淡水潮汐湿地植物特性和植物群落演替研究——以镇江北固山湿地为例

镇江北固山湿地属于长江近河口段淡水潮汐湿地,植物群落基本保持原生演替的前期状况。根据对该湿地的实地观测研究,描述了河滨湿地植物的生长特性;结合湿地的水文特征刻画了湿地高等水生植物在时间、空间和景观上的生态过程;综合河滨湿地植物的生长特性及湿地的水文特征探讨了镇江淡水潮汐湿地的演变趋势。对湿地面临的问题进行了讨论,从而为长江淡水潮汐湿地的生态修复和增加生物多样性及湿地保护提供参考。     

Global sea-level rise is recognised, but flooding from anthropogenic land subsidence is ignored around northern Manila Bay, Philippines

Land subsidence resulting from excessive extraction of groundwater is particularly acute in East Asian countries. Some Philippine government sectors have begun to recognise that the sea-level rise of one to three millimetres per year due to global warming is a cause of worsening floods around Manila Bay, but are oblivious to, or ignore, the principal reason: excessive groundwater extraction is lowering the land surface by several centimetres to more than a decimetre per year. Such ignorance allows the government to treat flooding as a lesser problem that can be mitigated through large infrastructural projects that are both ineffective and vulnerable to corruption. Money would be better spent on preventing the subsidence by reducing groundwater pumping and moderating population growth and land use, but these approaches are politically and psychologically unacceptable. Even if groundwater use is greatly reduced and enlightened land-use practices are initiated, natural deltaic subsidence and global sea-level rise will continue to aggravate flooding, although at substantially lower rates.     

渤海湾天津段潮间带沉积物柱状样重金属污染特征

2003-11采集了渤海湾天津段北至大沽口,南到岐口海域潮间带3个沉积物柱状样,对沉积物的粒度、有机质、重金属含量进行分析,对渤海湾潮间带沉积物柱状样的地化性质、重金属污染概况以及重金属的空间、垂向分布特点进行了研究.渤海湾潮间带沉积物由北至南逐渐变细,大沽口和独流减河口海域的沉积物主要是极细砂-粉砂-细砂组成,岐口海域潮间带沉积物主要组分是粉砂和极细砂.3个柱状样的垂向粒度分布趋势表明渤海湾潮间带沉积物自下向上有“粗化”的趋势.Fe、Al、Mn3种元素的空间分布与沉积物的粒径呈显著的负相关性,即Fe、Al、Mn含量主要分布在粒度较细的沉积物中.渤海湾潮间带主要重金属污染元素是Pb、Zn、Cd 3种.通过归一化研究,这3类重金属元素在沉积物中有很明显的人为污染痕迹,含量远远高于其相应的环境背景值.     

平原感潮河网地区非点源污染监测方法

平原感潮河网地区非点源污染严重以及交叉污染等特性，造成了严重的环境污染和环境安全问题。由于非点源污染监测资料不完善，相关研究的深度、广度以及监测管理存在不足，确定非点源污染大小、少资料区域污染定量化预测等问题都是亟待解决的难点。以南通平原感潮河网地区为例，对非点源污染中的不确定性及监测方法进行探讨，提出分别针对平原河网圩区和平原河网非圩区的非点源污染监测方法。
