WATER QUALITY IN THE RED SEA COASTAL WATERS (EGYPT): ANALYSIS OF SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY

In order to provide a background picture of the water quality of the Egyptian Red Sea a number of hydrological and chemical parameters have been measured bimonthly in 2000. Few data are available on this area, which is apparently subjected to an increasing human impact due to recreational (swimming and diving), industrial (mainly phosphate shipping and industry) and fishing/harbor activities. The results of the present study indicate that changes in the salinity and pH were not significant with highly oxygenated seawaters. The levels of suspended solids (as total suspended matter, TSM) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) were generally low and showed an homogeneous distribution in the study region. The ratio of chlorophyll-a to total suspended matter concentrations increased between November and March and decreased from May to September. Chlorophyll-a was significantly correlated with transparency and total suspended matter concentrations in July, September and November. Nitrogen, phosphorus and reactive silicate concentrations were generally low, and allowed classifying the Egyptian Red Sea coastal water as oligotrophic to mesotrophic. The middle region of the study area, which was located between Safaga and Qusair displayed relatively high phosphate contents when compared with other coastal areas. The high values of N:P ratios indicate that PO 4 -P is the limiting factor for phytoplankton growth in the Red Sea coastal waters, with the possible exception of the middle region. Significant relationships were found between chlorophyll-a concentrations and nutrient levels in different sampling periods. Spatial distribution patterns of the studied variables revealed that productivity of the Red Sea coastal waters is mostly controlled by phosphate concentrations, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen.

黄河三角洲土壤真菌群落结构对盐生植被演替的响应

采用高通量测序技术,探究了黄河三角洲光板地和4种盐生植被(翅碱蓬、獐茅、白茅和罗布麻)下土壤真菌群落结构组成及分布特征,揭示其与盐生植被演替的关系.结果表明,随盐生植被正向演替,土壤质量有不断改善的趋势.轻度耐盐群落(罗布麻群落、白茅群落)土壤中真菌丰富度相对较高,其Shannon多样性指数分别为5.21、5.84;在重度耐盐群落(翅碱蓬、獐茅)土壤中真菌丰富度较低,其Shannon多样性指数分别为4.64、4.66.在不同演替阶段时,土壤真菌群落结构差别相对较大(Unifrac Metric值为0.48~0.67).土壤中全氮含量是影响真菌OTU数、ACE指数和Shannon指数的主要因素.5个土壤样本共获得60174条有效序列,可归到子囊菌门(Ascomycota)、担子菌门(Basidiomycota)、壶菌门(Chytridiomycota)、球囊菌门(Glomeromycota)、毛霉亚门(Mucoromycotina)5个真菌门;其中,子囊菌门在重度耐盐植物群落(翅碱蓬、獐茅)中相对丰度较高(2.69%、69.97%),担子菌门在轻度耐盐群落(罗布麻群落、白茅群落)中相对丰度较高(9.43%、6.64%).     

长江口洋山海域表层沉积物重金属的富积及其潜在生态风险评价

根据长江口洋山海域表层沉积物监测资料,利用变异系数法和富积系数法,对表层沉积物中重金属的空间波动程度及富积程度进行了分析,并采用Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法对其潜在生态危害程度进行了评价.结果表明:在表层沉积物所监测的重金属中,Pb元素的空间波动程度最高,其它重金属元素的空间波动程度较低,各重金属空间波动程度的顺序依次为Pb＞Cd＞Hg＞Cu＞Cr＞As＞Zn;沉积物中Cu元素的富积程度最高,Pb元素次之,其它重金属元素的富积程度较低,各重金属富积程度的顺序依次为Cu＞Pb＞Zn＞As＞Cr＞Cd＞Hg.潜在生态危害评价结果显示:洋山海域表层沉积物中的重金属对海洋生态系统的潜在生态危害较轻微,均属于轻微潜在生态危害程度,其轻微潜在生态危害程度顺序为Cu＞As＞Hg＞Pb＞Cd＞Cr＞Zn.     

夏季渤海NOx、O3、SO2和CO浓度观测特征

利用2000-08～2000-09渤海海上观测资料,初次揭示了渤海污染物浓度的时间变化特点,分析了光照、天气等因素对NO_x、O₃、SO₂和CO气体浓度的影响.SO₂浓度比较稳定,浓度平均值在0.006 mg·m^-3左右.O₃浓度变化主要受辐射影响.在弱天气形势下,CO和NO_x浓度分别在2.5～3.5 mg·m^-3.和0.1 mg·m^-3左右,台风天气会造成浓度在短时间内的剧烈增长.文中还简要说明了渤海大气污染与陆地污染的差异,评价了渤海夏季的空气质量.     

Phytoplankton photosynthetic activity and growth rates in the NW Adriatic Sea

Taxonomic composition, biomass, primary production and growth rates of the phytoplankton community were studied in two stations in the NW Adriatic Sea on a seasonal basis, in areas characterized by differing hydrological and trophic conditions. The main differences between the two stations were quantitative rather than qualitative, most phytoplankton species being common to both stations. The effects of differing nutrient concentrations and plume spreading were evident. Biomass and primary production rates were significantly higher in the coastal station (S1), and the phytoplankton distribution in the water column was markedly stratified in S1 and more even in the offshore station (S3). However, chlorophyll a specific production, potential growth rate and production efficiencies were very similar in both stations, even when phosphorus concentrations were limiting. A discrepancy between potential and actual growth rate was observed: as a feature common to both stations, comparisons between potential and actual growth rates revealed that little carbon produced by phytoplankton accumulated as algal biomass; therefore, very high loss rates were estimated.     

Damage to structures caused by the Japan Sea earthquake of 1983

A summary review of the Japan Sea (Nipponkai-chubu) earthquake of 1983 is presented. Damage to civil and building structures is explained in brief. Owing to the spread of earthquake-proof design, damage sustained was very slight for a M = 7.7 earthquake, except to those built on liquefied ground. Our next target in earthquake engineering may be to protect and maintain the functions of city-facilities against strong shaking so that citizens might not experience much disruption in their daily lives after big earthquakes.
