Comparative study between using natural and synthetic zeolites for the improvement of soil salinity and crop yield

The effects of natural zeolite (clinoptilolite, NZ) and synthetic zeolite (Y, SZ) on salinity and the presence of the harmful salts in the soil were compared on Raphanus sativus L. Nine soil treatments were studied: 1 (control), 2 (NaCl), 3 (Na₂SO₄), 4 (NZ), 5 (SZ), 6 (NZ?+?NaCl), 7 (SZ?+?NaCl), 8 (NZ?+?Na₂SO₄), and 9 (SZ?+?Na₂SO₄). Five radish seeds were planted in each pot. Each treatment was repeated 10 times. After 50 days under equal conditions some parameters consisting of the number of leaves (NL), total leaf area (TLA), total fresh weight (TFW), total dry weight (TDW), root fresh weight (RFW), air fresh weight (AFW), root dry weight (RDW) and air dry weight (ADW) were determined. Results showed that adding either NZ or SZ to salinic soil (treatments NZNaCl, NZNa₂SO₄, SZNaCl and SZNa₂SO₄) increased AFW, TFW and TDW. Using both NZ and SZ in normal soil increased the weight of plants by developing AFW. Further NZ was more effective on soil with NaCl than SZ.     

自然条件下海滨湿地土壤生态过程与景观演变的耦合关系

景观过程与格局的相互关系与耦合机制,已经成为景观生态学研究的重要问题。以盐城国家级自然保护区核心区为案例,根据2011年4-5月对海滨湿地土壤采样分析,运用典范对应分析、主成分分析、线性回归模拟以及空间代替时间的方法,探索土壤生态过程与景观演变之间的耦合关系。结果显示:①典范对应分析表明,土壤过程能够很好地响应海滨湿地景观格局,从陆到海,5种景观类型有序地、按逆时针方向分布在CCA排序轴上,土壤过程与景观类型之间表现出不同的相关性。②通过主成分分析表明,三个主成分能够有效地响应景观格局。主成分与景观类型相关性排序表现为:第一主成分(土壤养分),米草沼泽>碱蓬米草交错带>碱蓬沼泽>芦苇沼泽>碱蓬芦苇交错带;第二主成分(盐度),碱蓬沼泽>碱蓬米草交错带>米草沼泽>碱蓬芦苇交错带>芦苇沼泽;第三主成分(有机质和水分),芦苇沼泽>米草沼泽>碱蓬芦苇交错带>碱蓬米草交错带>碱蓬沼泽。③运用空间代替时间,以样地到海堤的距离作为时间变量,主成分与景观演变之间相关性较好。多元回归结果显示:三个主成分与碱蓬沼泽→碱蓬米草交错带→米草沼泽时间序列的相关系数为0.859 2;与碱蓬沼泽→碱蓬芦苇交错带→芦苇沼泽时间序列的相关系数为0.892 8。土壤生态过程的改变是景观演变的重要动力,而景观的变化进一步引起土壤生态要素的改变,盐城海滨湿地景观演变就是在这种格局与过程的交互作用下,芦苇沼泽与米草沼泽不断扩张、碱蓬沼泽不断萎缩的过程。     

森林类型对土壤表层有机碳空间异质性的影响

对西南山地阔叶林区的天然阔叶混交林、天然次生林和人工柳杉林的土壤表层有机碳（SSOC）进行了测定,并用地统计学理论构建了3种亚热带森林生态系统在小尺度上的SSOC半方差理论模型。结果表明,不同森林生态系统间SSOC含量差异性显著,表现为天然阔叶混交林>天然次生林>人工柳杉林,SSOC含量与土壤含水率、容重、孔隙度和有机质相关性显著;天然阔叶混交林的SSOC空间相关性最强,次生林次之,人工林较弱;天然阔叶混交林SSOC在45°方向上空间变异最明显,天然次生林和人工林在各个方向上的变异均较弱;天然阔叶混交林SSOC的等值线较密,梯度变化急剧,天然次生林次之,人工林等值线稀疏,梯度变化不明显。总之,不同森林类型对SSOC含量和分布有着重要影响。     

The effect of outdoor air pollutants and greenness on allergic rhinitis incidence rates: a cross-sectional study in Seoul,Korea

Air pollution poses a serious threat to human health in Asia. This study analyzes the association of air pollutants and greenness with incidence rates of allergic rhinitis in Seoul at the administrative district level to gain insight into district-level urban policies to improve public health. A spatial regression model is constructed to investigate the correlation between allergic rhinitis incidence rates and five air pollutants measured at 128 air pollution monitoring stations around Seoul: sulfur dioxide (SO₂), particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM₁₀), ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO). The allergic rhinitis incidence data are derived from the National Health Insurance Service’s database that includes the number of allergic rhinitis-related clinic visits by the patients over 20 years of age and living in Seoul. A kriging geostatistical interpolation was used to estimate average air pollution level of 423 administrative districts. To assess pollen concentrations that can affect allergic rhinitis, the average normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is measured based on the urban greenness. The model, controlling for built environment and socio-economic attributes, identifies the possibility of a weak association between allergic rhinitis incidence rates and carbon monoxide levels. The NDVI value is negatively correlated with allergic rhinitis incidence rates, implying a complicated aspect in relation to the effect of urban greenness.     

Microbial nitrogen transformation potential in surface run-off leachate from a tropical landfill

Ammonium is one of the major toxic compounds and a critical long-term pollutant in landfill leachate. Leachate from the Jatibarang landfill in Semarang, Indonesia, contains ammonium in concentrations ranging from 376 to 929 mg N L⁻¹. The objective of this study was to determine seasonal variation in the potential for organic nitrogen ammonification, aerobic nitrification, anaerobic nitrate reduction and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) at this landfilling site. Seasonal samples from leachate collection treatment ponds were used as an inoculum to feed synthetic media to determine potential rates of nitrogen transformations. Aerobic ammonium oxidation potential (<0.06 mg N L⁻¹ h⁻¹) was more than a hundred times lower than the anaerobic nitrogen transformation processes and organic nitrogen ammonification, which were of the same order of magnitude. Anaerobic nitrate oxidation did not proceed beyond nitrite; isolates grown with nitrate as electron acceptor did not degrade nitrite further. Effects of season were only observed for aerobic nitrification and anammox, and were relatively minor: rates were up to three times higher in the dry season. To completely remove the excess ammonium from the leachate, we propose a two-stage treatment system to be implemented. Aeration in the first leachate pond would strongly contribute to aerobic ammonium oxidation to nitrate by providing the currently missing oxygen in the anaerobic leachate and allowing for the growth of ammonium oxidisers. In the second pond the remaining ammonium and produced nitrate can be converted by a combination of nitrate reduction to nitrite and anammox. Such optimization of microbial nitrogen transformations can contribute to alleviating the ammonium discharge to surface water draining the landfill.     

西气东输工程的环境协同效应研究

协同效应研究是气候变化政策研究的新领域,也是非常重要的领域.西气东输工程的主要目的是为我国中东部地区输送丰富的天然气资源,但其实施同时也有助于减少东部地区大气污染物排放,改善大气质量.利用较成熟的中国区域环境与经济综合评价模型(AIM-LOCAL/China模型),从用气项目的SO₂和CO₂排放的常规情景(BAU)和利用天然气后的情景(NGS)两方面进行了量化比较,分析西气东输工程的环境协同效应.研究发现:在用气项目的范围内,NGS情景下的SO₂排放相比BAU情景明显减少,同时CO₂等温室气体排放也大幅减少.2003-2020年,累计可以减排约312×104 t SO₂和3 475×104 t CO₂,分别比BAU情景减排40.5%和17.9%.从4个用气部门来看,不论是SO₂还是CO₂,电力部门用气项目的减排量都占突出位置.

Simulating the impacts of fire: A computer program

Recurrent fire has played a dominant role in the ecology of southwestern ponderosa pine forests. To assess the benefits or losses of fire in these forests, a computer simulation model, called BURN, considers vegetation (mortality, regeneration, and production of herbaceous vegetation), wildlife (populations and habitats), and hydrology (streamflow and water quality). In the formulation of the model, graphical representations (time-trend response curves) of increases or losses (compared to an unburned control) after the occurrence of fire are converted to fixedterm annual ratios, and then annuities for the simulation components. Annuity values higher than 1.0 indicate benefits, while annuity values lower than 1.0 indicate losses. Studies in southwestern ponderosa pine forests utilized in the development of BURN are described briefly.
