Effects of low concentration biodiesel blends application on modern passenger cars. Part 3: Impact on PAH, nitro-PAH, and oxy-PAH emissions

This study explores the impact of five different types of methyl esters on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), nitrated-PAH and oxygenated PAH emissions. The measurements were conducted on a chassis dynamometer, according to the European regulation. Each of the five different biodiesels was blended with EN590 diesel at a proportion of 10-90% v/v (10% biodiesel concentration). The vehicle was a Euro 3 compliant common-rail diesel passenger car. Emission measurements were performed over the NEDC and compared with those of the real traffic-based Artemis driving cycles. The experimental results showed that the addition of biodiesel led to some important increases in low molecular-weight PAHs (phenanthrene and anthracene) and to both increases and reductions in large PAHs which are characterised by their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. Nitro-PAHs were found to reduce with biodiesel whereas oxy-PAH emissions presented important increases with the biodiesel blends. The impact of biodiesel source material was particularly clear on the formation of PAH compounds. It was found that most PAH emissions decreased as the average load and speed of the driving cycle increased. Cold-start conditions negatively influenced the formation of most PAH compounds. A similar trend was observed with particulate alkane emissions.     

Impact of Climate Change on Ecological Quality Indicators and Biogeochemical Fluxes in the Baltic Sea: A Multi-Model Ensemble Study

Multi-model ensemble simulations using three coupled physical-biogeochemical models were performed to calculate the combined impact of projected future climate change and plausible nutrient load changes on biogeochemical cycles in the Baltic Sea. Climate projections for 1961-2099 were combined with four nutrient load scenarios ranging from a pessimistic business-as-usual to a more optimistic case following the Helsinki Commission's (HELCOM) Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP). The model results suggest that in a future climate, water quality, characterized by ecological quality indicators like winter nutrient, summer bottom oxygen, and annual mean phytoplankton concentrations as well as annual mean Secchi depth (water transparency), will be deteriorated compared to present conditions. In case of nutrient load reductions required by the BSAP, water quality is only slightly improved. Based on the analysis of biogeochemical fluxes, we find that in warmer and more anoxic waters, internal feedbacks could be reinforced. Increased phosphorus fluxes out of the sediments, reduced denitrification efficiency and increased nitrogen fixation may partly counteract nutrient load abatement strategies.

GROUND WATER/SURFACE WATER RESPONSES TO GLOBAL CLIMATE SIMULATIONS,SANTA CLARA‐CALLEGUAS BASIN,VENTURA, CALIFORNIA1

ABSTRACT: Climate variations can play an important, if not always crucial, role in successful conjunctive management of ground water and surface water resources. This will require accurate accounting of the links between variations in climate, recharge, and withdrawal from the resource systems, accurate projection or predictions of the climate variations, and accurate simulation of the responses of the resource systems. To assess linkages and predictability of climate influences on conjunctive management, global climate model (GCM) simulated precipitation rates were used to estimate inflows and outflows from a regional ground water model (RGWM) of the coastal aquifers of the Santa Clara‐Calleguas Basin at Ventura, California, for 1950 to 1993. Interannual to interdecadal time scales of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) climate variations are imparted to simulated precipitation variations in the Southern California area and are realistically imparted to the simulated ground water level variations through the climate‐driven recharge (and discharge) variations. For example, the simulated average ground water level response at a key observation well in the basin to ENSO variations of tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures is 1.2 m/°C, compared to 0.9 m/°C in observations. This close agreement shows that the GCM‐RGWM combination can translate global scale climate variations into realistic local ground water responses. Probability distributions of simulated ground water level excursions above a local water level threshold for potential seawater intrusion compare well to the corresponding distributions from observations and historical RGWM simulations, demonstrating the combination's potential usefulness for water management and planning. Thus the GCM‐RGWM combination could be used for planning purposes and — when the GCM forecast skills are adequate — for near term predictions.

畜禽粪便冻融作用后磷形态分布及其释放特征

畜禽粪便中磷(P)释放特性与其赋存的形态密切相关,冻融循环可通过改变畜禽粪便的理化性质而影响粪便中P形态的分布,进而影响其后续的释放过程.本研究通过一系列室内模拟实验,探究了冻融循环对不同含水率猪粪中P形态分布的影响,以及冻融循环后粪便中P释放特征及其影响因素.结果表明,与未经冻融猪粪相比,冻融后低含水率粪便中Ca-P、Oc-P和Res-P含量分别下降了47.38%、29.76%和55.19%,NH_4Cl-P和Al-P分别增加了36.82%和23.13%;高含水率猪粪中Ca-P、Oc-P和Res-P含量分别减少了49.59%、41.59%和76.96%,NH_4Cl-P、Al-P和Fe-P含量分别增加了37.34%、32.84%和8.96%.经冻融处理的粪便P的释放速率和累积释放量明显大于未冻融处理的粪便.伪一级动力学方程、Elovich方程、权函数方程均能较好的拟合粪便P释放动力学过程,其中Elovich方程的拟合效果最佳,表明粪便中P释放动力学过程是以扩散为主的反应过程.雨水pH值和共存阴离子会影响粪便P的释放,溶液pH越低或NO~-_3/SO■比值越小,越有利用于粪便P的释放.依据统计数据估算,我国冻融区域内畜禽粪便因冻融导致的P最大释放增量总和约为3.20万t·a~(-1),为降低其面源污染风险需要更好的粪便储存处理措施.     

Methane Fluxes from a Wetland using the Flux-Gradient Technique The Measurement of Methane Flux from a Natural Wetland Pond and Adjacent Vegetated Wetlands using a TDL-Based Flux-Gradient Technique

Methane emissions were measured from a bog andlake in the Experimental Lakes Area in Northern Ontario in 1992and 1993, prior to and following flooding. Bog fluxes were smallin 1992 (0.27 mg m^-2 d^-1) but increased 5-fold in 1993 afterflooding. Over the bog, there was a diel cycle of nighttimeemission and daytime uptake in 1992 in contrast to constantemission in 1993. Lake emissions decreased after flooding butwere much greater than bog emissions in both years (average = 7.3 mg m^-2 d^-1). Seasonally, the bog flux was correlated withground temperatures after flooding. In 1992, lake fluxes werecorrelated with air temperature on a daily basis. In contrast,seasonal lake fluxes were correlated with water and sedimenttemperatures in 1992, but only with sediment temperatures in1993. These results are explained with respect to the effects offlooding on lake and bog dynamics.     

三江源典型高寒草地坡面土壤有机碳变化特征及其影响因素

以三江源地区高寒草地退化坡面为研究对象,从草地类型、鼠害和自然因素如水蚀、风蚀、冻融作用这一角度上探讨发生在不同退化程度上土壤有机碳的变化特征,对明晰高寒地区退化草地的碳变化机理和全球气候响应具有重要意义。结果表明:同一侵蚀环境条件和退化程度下,以小嵩草、矮嵩草为优势种高寒草甸比以紫花针茅为优势种的高寒草原土壤有机碳蓄存能力高。轻度退化程度受水蚀影响的高寒草甸曲麻河乡QMH1坡面土壤有机碳平均含量是相距3.5 km高寒草原曲麻河乡QMH2坡面的2.2倍(P<0.01);轻度退化程度受风蚀影响的高寒草甸五道梁WDL坡面土壤有机碳平均含量是高寒草原不冻泉BDQ坡面土壤有机碳含量的3.8倍(P<0.01)。水蚀作用显著影响了高寒退化草地土壤有机碳在坡面上的分布,表现为随坡面向下迁移富集的特征。轻度退化程度受水蚀影响的高寒草甸玛龙ML1号坡面下坡位(距坡顶580 m以下)土壤有机碳平均含量比上坡位(距坡顶580 m以上)高22%(P<0.01)。高寒草甸玛龙ML2坡面土壤有机碳分布特征,不仅具有土壤有机碳含量随退化程度加剧而降低的规律,还叠加有土壤有机碳随水土流失向下富集的迁移分布规律,具体表现为坡上位轻度退化>坡中下位中度退化>坡下位极度退化>坡中上位重度退化,因极度退化坡位处于重度退化的下坡位,表现出极度退化坡位土壤有机碳含量比重度退化坡位高49.3%(P<0.05)。风蚀作用使高寒退化草地表层土壤粗骨化和土壤有机碳加速矿化,表现为受湖陆风影响较弱的鄂陵湖ELH坡面土壤有机碳平均含量比受湖陆风影响较强的扎陵湖ZLH坡面高27.9%(P<0.05)。冻融垮塌降低了高寒退化草地土壤有机碳平均含量,但差异不显著。鼠害影响降低了高寒退化草地土壤有机碳的平均含量,并加速了高寒草地退化的进程。中度退化鼠洞周围SDⅠ-Ⅲ土壤有机碳平均含量是极度退化鼠洞周围SDⅣ-Ⅵ的2.1倍;而未受鼠害影响的中度退化ML2Ⅰ-Ⅱ土壤有机碳平均含量是极度退化ML2Ⅳ-Ⅵ的1.6倍。高寒坡面草地受水蚀、风蚀、冻融以及鼠害等因素作用加剧了土壤有机碳的损失。     

冻融作用下寒温带针叶林土壤碳氮矿化过程研究

以大兴安岭落叶松林土壤为研究对象,设置8℃恒温和-5-8℃冻融循环（1个冻融循环为在-5℃培养24 h,后在8℃培养24 h）2个处理,进行30 d的室内培养实验,探讨了寒温带针叶林土壤在冻融交替时期的碳氮矿化过程及其相互关系。结果表明,培养温度和培养时间对土壤碳矿化速率和碳矿化累积量均有显著影响。第1次和第5次冻融循环后,冻融处理土壤的碳矿化速率显著高于恒温培养下土壤的碳矿化速率;第7次和第15次冻融循环后,冻融土壤碳矿化累积量显著低于恒温土壤的碳矿化累积量。土壤氮矿化速率没有受到培养温度、培养时间以及二者交互作用的影响,但培养时间和培养温度对土壤净氮矿化累积量有显著的影响。第5、7、15次冻融循环后,冻融处理的土壤无机氮净矿化累积量低于恒温培养的土壤无机氮净矿化累积量。经过30 d的培养,恒温处理下的土壤碳、氮矿化累积量（碳累积量：92.82μg·g-1,氮累积量73.76 mg·kg-1）是冻融处理下（碳累积量：65.51μg·g-1,氮累积量33.45 mg·kg-1）的1.42倍和2.21倍。土壤碳矿化累积量与土壤净氮矿化累积量均为正相关关系,但在相同的碳释放量下冻融循环处理土壤累积的无机氮较少。以上结果表明,冻融循环减少了大兴安岭寒温带落叶松林土壤碳排放和无机氮的累积,有利于土壤碳的固持和减少养分的流失。     

草原土壤的碳氮分布与CO2排放通量的相关性分析

利用静态暗箱法,对内蒙古锡林河流域的贝加尔针茅(Stipa baicalensis)、羊草(Leymus chinensis)、大针茅(Stipa grandis)、克氏针茅(Stipa krylovii)等草原群落样地的CO₂排放通量进行了测定;同时采集各样地的不同层次土壤混合样,分析其中有机碳和全氮的含量,探讨其与CO₂排放的相关性.结果发现:不同样地群落的CO₂排放与其土壤中不同层次的有机碳和全氮含量呈高度正相关,相关系数(R)均0.8以上,说明在环境因子相对稳定的情况下,土壤有机碳和全氮含量直接或间接地决定生态系统CO₂排放通量的变化.另外,土壤不同层次的有机碳和全氮含量随深度增加递减,其中70%以上集中在0～30cm土层中,说明它们主要是来自地表有机质的分解;在0～100cm的土层中,土壤有机碳和全氮的总含量从贝加尔针茅草原、大针茅草原、羊草草原和克氏针茅草原依次减少,表明降水量、蒸发量和干燥度是影响土壤有机碳、全氮分布的重要因子.
