The Impact of Agriculture On Dissolved Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling in Temperate Ecosystems

Although most research has focussed on inorganic nutrient forms of nitrate (NO^-₃) and phosphorus (PO³₄) in runoff and receiving waters, nitrogen loss from agricultural land can also occur in organic and ammonium-nitrogen form; phosphorus losses, although often dominated by particulate transport, may occur in soluble organic and inorganic form. Furthermore, fluxes between different species may take place during transport from the land to the stream and as a result of in-stream, in-river or in-lake transformations. Knowledge of the spatial and temporal variation in all nitrogen species and phosphorus fractions in a drainage basin is therefore essential if the wider environmental significance of elevated nutrient concentrations in natural waters are to be assessed. This paper reviews recent work on N and P losses from agricultural land and presents some results from two intensive agricultural catchments: Slapton, Devon and the river Windrush catchment in the Cotswolds.     

Acid Deposition in the Tuscan Appennines During the Dry Period 1988-89

The typical parameters of acid precipitation are evaluated in the forest of Vallombrosa (Tuscan Appennines) during the dry period 1988-89. Individual rain events (dry and wet deposition) were sampled in a clearing of the forest and below the canopy of an evergreen tree as well as a deciduous broadleaf tree.

In atmospheric precipitation the pH values usually vary around 4.4, with neutralization in the hot season due to calcareous material from distant sources. Relatively large concentrations of Pb and Cd are found in rain, but only in a small amount in canopy leachate. Aluminium, manganese and iron are more significantly washed off than Pb and Cd.     

Using the polychaete Arenicola marina to determine toxicity and bioaccumulation of PAHS bound to sediments

Transportation system has contributed significantly to the development of human civilization; on the other hand it has an enormous impact on the ambient air quality in several ways. In this paper the air and noise pollution at selected sites along three sections of National Highway was monitored. Pakistan National Highway Authority has started a Highway Improvement program for rehabilitations and maintenance of National highways to improve the traffic flows, and would ultimately improve the air quality along highways. The ambient air quality and noise level was monitored at nine different locations along these sections of highways to quantify the air pollution. The duration of monitoring at individual location was 72 h. The most of the sampling points were near the urban or village population, schools or hospitals, in order to quantify the air pollution at most affected locations along these roads. A database consisting of information regarding the source of emission, local metrology and air quality may be created to assess the profile of air quality in the area.

采用国家环境保护部新颁布的《环境空气质量标准》对2013年秦皇岛市环境空气质量进行评价,其污染物浓度评价结果为未达标。评价结果表明,PM₁₀、PM_2.5、O₃是环境空气中主要的污染物。秦皇岛市环境空气具有较明显的月变化规律,O₃峰值出现在8月,其他污染物峰值出现在1月。PM_2.5小时浓度随时间推移呈峰谷型变化,O₃小时浓度呈单峰型分布,NO₂小时浓度夜间维持相对稳定。     

大气14CO2的时空分异特征及其在化石源CO2示踪中的应用

大气CO₂中放射性碳同位素(¹⁴C)的水平可以反映化石源CO₂的影响程度,这对于评估我国目前化石源CO₂的排放状况和制定节能减排政策具有重要的指导意义。本文在概述大气¹⁴CO₂采样和分析方法的基础上,简要介绍了大气¹⁴CO₂观测的起源和主要的源汇过程,重点论述了大气¹⁴CO₂的时空分异特征及其驱动因素;阐述了化石源CO₂浓度的估算方法及¹⁴CO₂在国内外化石源CO₂示踪中的应用现状,并对大气¹⁴CO₂观测在我国化石源CO₂示踪中的应用前景进行了展望;旨在为我国正确地开展大气¹⁴CO₂的观测研究,深刻地理解特定区域大气¹⁴CO₂的时空分异特征和化石源CO₂的分布状况提供参考。     

中国粮食作物产量和木本植物生物量与地表臭氧污染的响应关系

当前我国地表臭氧（O₃）污染日趋严重,对植物生产力构成了严重威胁.本文综述了粮食作物产量和木本植物生物量与O₃暴露水平指标M7（7 h平均O₃浓度,09：00~16：00）、SUM06（每小时O₃浓度大于60 nmol·mol^-1的累积值）、W126（每小时O₃浓度在特定时段内用Sigmoidal函数加权求和值）、POD_Y［每小时气孔O₃通量高于阈值Y nmol·（m²·s）^-1的累积吸收通量］和最常用的AOT40（每小时O₃浓度超过40 nmol·mol^-1部分的累积值）之间的响应关系,并计算了相应的损伤阈值.基于AOT40的结果表明,导致水稻、冬小麦、玉米和大豆产量下降5%的O₃风险阈值分别为5.93、2.69、8.67和4.17 μmol·mol^-1·h,说明我国玉米对O₃的耐受性可能要高于其它3种作物;对于木本植物,杨树5个品种的熏蒸实验和17种木本植物的整合分析的结果显示,导致其总生物量减少5%的O₃风险阈值分别为12.20 μmol·mol^-1·h和10.87 μmol·mol^-1·h.此外,提出了未来相关研究应关注建立植物其它重要参数与O₃污染的响应关系与提高O₃区域风险评估精度,同时需要重点考虑如何将影响植物O₃敏感性的重要因子（如土壤氮素和树龄等）耦合到区域评估模型中.

青岛地区边界层特征及酸雨成因

青岛地区边界层风场与温度场垂直分布很特殊,在1500m高度以下风场,近地面层风速较小,300-400m高度风速较大,500m以上风速减小,1000m以上又逐渐增大。温度层结早晚稳定,午后200m以下不稳定,混合层不高,一般在400m左右,有时可达700m,低空经常出现多层逆温。冬季盛行偏北风,夏季盛行偏南风,并经常受江淮气旋和黄淮气旋影响,气旋经过青岛地区时,流场经常出现上、下辐合气流。引入平直和上、下切变两种气流,应用平流扩散方程,对青岛地区连续点源所排放的污染物作模式计算,结果表明,在单一平直气流时,污染物传输较远,但浓度轴线也在一定距离上与地面相交。尤其是在雨天,污染物只在局地散布,浓度较大。当风向出现上、下层切变时,污染物传输范围受限制,这些污染物质在雨天经过化学变化即在近距离形成酸雨。     

东南亚生物质燃烧对海南岛空气质量的影响分析

基于地面气象观测资料、环境空气污染物监测数据、卫星火点监测数据等多源数据,对2023年3月21—26日海南岛一次颗粒物浓度异常升高过程的原因进行分析,并利用HYSPLIT后向轨迹及潜在源贡献分析法对颗粒物的来源和传输路径进行解析。结果显示,在此次颗粒物浓度异常升高过程中,海南岛颗粒物浓度变化表现为缓慢上升、波动下降和西部高、东部低的特征。其中,PM_2.5日均浓度最大值达28 μg/m³,是2019—2022年海南岛3月份月均浓度的1.9倍,而其间的大气扩散和湿清除条件与2019—2022年同期相当或比之略偏好,说明气象条件不是导致此次海南岛颗粒物浓度异常升高的直接原因。PM_2.5与CO浓度呈极显著的正相关关系(r=0.86),具有典型的生物质燃烧特征。后向轨迹及潜在源分析结果表明,泰国东南部、老挝南部及越南东部地区生物质燃烧产生的高浓度污染气团向海南岛的输送,是造成此次海南岛颗粒物浓度异常升高的重要原因。
