物理和生物组合扰动对底泥微界面过程的影响

借助Rhizon间隙水采样技术、Unisense微电极技术,解析了物理扰动和摇蚊幼虫组合扰动对底泥微界面和微环境特征的协同作用.结果表明,组合扰动、生物扰动均导致溶解氧渗透深度(OPD)、总氧气交换速率(TOE)、含水率、总微生物活性显著增加,并保持在高于对照实验的水平.并且,组合扰动下,这些指标随着物理扰动强度增加而有所增加.对于Fe2+而言,组合扰动和生物扰动均导致Fe2+含量明显降低,且降低幅度明显大于对照实验.Fe2+、含水率、总微生物活性在底泥0~4 cm内受扰动影响变化幅度较大.这可能是内源磷形态转化的"活性区域".对组合扰动下OPD、TOE、Fe2+、含水率、总微生物活性与物理扰动强度进行曲线拟合.结果表明,各拟合方程均符合2阶多项式,且当扰动强度≥34 r·min-1,组合扰动对上述指标产生"跃变式"叠加作用.这种改造效应可能是内源磷形态转化的主要诱发机制.

Development of Sediment Micro-Interface Under Physical and Chironomus plumosus Combination Disturbance

Synergistic effect of physical and Chironomus plumosus combination disturbance on the characteristics of the micro-environment and micro-interface was investigated by the Rhizon samplers and Unisense micro sensor system. The results showed that the oxygen penetration depth (OPD), total oxygen exchange (TOE), water content and total microbial activity increased under the combination disturbance and bioturbation and were kept at the higher level, compared with the control. These parameters increased with the physical intensity under combination disturbance. However, the content of Fe²⁺ decreased under the combination disturbance and bioturbation and the decrease was more obvious than that in the control. The changes of the Fe²⁺, the water content and the total microbial activity were large at 0-4 cm depth in the sediments. Therefore, the area might be the active area for the transformation of internal sedimentary phosphorus forms. The curve fitting was used for the OPD, TOE, the content of Fe²⁺, the water content and the total microbial activity with the physical intensity under combination disturbance. It was observed that the second-order polynomial equation was suitable for the curve fitting. In addition, jump type synergistic effect was presented in the above mentioned parameters under combination disturbance when the physical intensity was higher than 34 r ·min^-1. The remodeling on the sediment micro-interface and micro-environment might be the main inducing mechanism for the transformation of internal phosphorus.
