Biodegradable chelate enhances the phytoextraction of copper by Oenothera picensis grown in copper-contaminated acid soils 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Oenothera picensis plants (Fragrant Evening Primrose) grow in the acid soils contaminated by copper smelting in the coastal region of central Chile. We evaluated the effects of the biodegradable chelate MGDA (methylglycinediacetic acid) on copper extraction by O. picensis and on leaching of copper through the soil profile, using an ex situ experiment with soil columns of varying heights. MGDA was applied in four rates: 0 (control), 2, 6 and 10 mmol plant−1. MGDA application significantly increased biomass production and foliar concentration, permitting an effective increase in copper extraction, from 0.09 mg plant−1 in the control, to 1.3 mg plant−1 in the 6 and 10 mmol plant−1 treatments. With 10 mmol plant−1 rate of MGDA, the copper concentration in the leachate from the 30 cm columns was 20 times higher than in the control. For the 60 cm columns, copper concentration was 2 times higher than the control. It can be concluded that at increased soil depths, copper leaching would be minimal and that MGDA applications at the studied rates would not pose a high risk for leaching into groundwater. It can thus be stated that applications of MGDA are an effective and environmentally safe way to improve copper extraction by O. picensis in these soils. 相似文献

This work represents an attempt to define a simple method to classify the relative degree of disturbance of sites in lotic
systems on the basis of comparison of their faunistic composition with reference sites. Two ecotypes were selected in northern
Portugal where benthic invertebrates were sampled in reaches with different levels of contamination. As a first stage, previous
Geographic Information System information was used to define reference sites in each ecotype. Afterwards, multivariate techniques
and non linear estimation models were combined to assess biological quality. This method allowed us to quantify sites according
to increasing levels of contamination, after the probabilities of occurrence of taxa along a gradient of contamination taking
into account the reference condition. The results suggest that this method is sensitive to organic pollution, easy to interpret,
namely the species tolerance, and could be a good framework to establish regional rankings depending on the ecological impact
of river sites. 相似文献

Chemical and bacterial changes during laboratory conditioning of formulated and natural sediments 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Within the framework of toxicity testing using formulated sediment, a conditioning treatment prior to toxic contamination has been examined. This preliminary step enables the bacterial colonisation of the sediment, the initiation of organic matter degradation, and the establishment of stable biological and physico-chemical conditions. The treatment involved in keeping the formulated sediment under water in conditions similar to that chosen for toxicity tests. The behaviour of a formulated sediment was compared with a natural sediment. The monitoring of physico-chemical and biological parameters of sediment and water column was carried out over a 30-day incubation in two laboratories. The parameters of pH and redox, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), NH4 and NO2, total organic carbon (TOC) were measured. The bacterial community was characterised by the determination of bacterial density, in total bacteria number or colony forming units (CFU), several exoenzymatic activities (P-glucosidase, xylosidase, leucine-amino-peptidase phosphatase and sulfatase activities), and three gas productions (CO2, N2O and CH4). The same experiment was carried out with a natural sediment. A 10- to 15-day conditioning allowed a physico-chemical stabilisation and corresponded to kinetic changes in hydrolysis activities. As compared to data of the natural sediment, the biological activity of the formulated sediment showed a different dynamic with lower activity levels. For both sediments, an important decrease of activities levels was observed after 15 days because of a substrate limitation. The work showed that a preliminary conditioning treatment of a formulated sediment provides the stabilisation of parameters that can affect toxicant bioavailability. Additional research is needed to determine the real influence of conditioning on the bioavailability of contaminants. The possible advisability of organic matter input, to maintain the sediment bacterial activity, has to be studied. 相似文献

A procedure to select the most relevant metrics for assessing the ecological condition of the Douro basin (north Portugal) was developed based upon a set of 184 benthic community metrics. They were grouped into 16 biological categories selected from literature using data collected over 2 years from 54 sites along 31 rivers covering the whole perceived range of human disturbance. Multivariate analyses were carried out to identify the main trends in the macroinvertebrate data, to select reference versus impaired sites, to avoid multicolinearity between metrics, and to identify those that were clearly independent from natural stream typology. Structural metrics, adaptation metrics, and tolerance measures most effectively responded across a range of human influence. We find these attributes to be ecologically sound for monitoring Portugal’s lotic ecosystems and providing information relevant to the Water Framework Directive, which asserts that the definition of water quality depends on its “ecological status”, independent of the actual or potential uses of those waters. 相似文献

In the complex causation behind land change, dependent causation can play a central role. A case in point concerns land tenure diversity, where contrasting use rules for different lands may affect the impacts of other drivers on land use outcomes. We therefore evaluate the evolutionary theory of land rights (ETLR), which assumes homogeneous private property rights, in order to test for dependent causation due to distinct use rules among various types of private lands. In the present analysis, we focus on whether land tenure type modifies the effects of highway infrastructure on key outcomes highlighted in the ETLR framework. We take up the case of rural settlements along the Inter-Oceanic Highway in the eastern part of the Brazilian state of Acre, where there is considerable land tenure diversity. Findings from multivariate models for land titling, the castanha nut harvest, and cattle pasture all indicate that the effects of infrastructure depend on land tenure type. These results confirm the importance of dependent causation behind land use and bear implications for theory on land change, infrastructure impacts, and land system science. 相似文献
