Determination of 226Ra and 228Ra in slightly mineralised natural waters

A radiochemical method for simultaneous separation of ²²⁶Ra and ²²⁸Ra from natural waters by precipitating the radionuclides in the form of chromates that have low solubility in weak acetic acid has been described. For analytical purposes the change into soluble state was achieved through high-temperature melting the radium chromates precipitate with sodium and potassium carbonates at certain ratios. The chemical yield for radium-226 amounted to 87.1 ± 1.4% at the efficiency of counting 92.8 ± 0.7%. Calculated in series of 20 parallel determinations, reproducibility of the method was 7%. The chemical yield in separating radium-228 made up 63.8 ± 1.1%.     

长江河口近岸水体自然净化作用及其初步评价

按照水体的净化机理,结合长江口和上海滨岸带近岸水体的物理、化学和生物等因素的实际特征,对近岸水体的自然净化作用进行了阐述和分析。并在历史资料和实测资料基础上,就近岸水体的自然净化作用进行了评价。评价结果表明,因长江河口近岸水体存在较强的自然净化作用机制,近岸水体体的自然净化能力较强,环境容量较大,但由于污染物输入量的不断增加,部分岸段近岸水体的环境质量有逐渐下降的趋势;近岸水体的自然净化作用具有明显的季节性变化,长江口南岸水域洪水季节水体的自然净化作用比估水季节强,而杭州湾北岸水域的自然净化作用表现为相反的变化趋势,因此建议在近岸污水排放过程中应考虑近岸水体的净化能力,遵循水体的自然净化作用规律。     

Establishing Eco-compensation Mechanism in Bohai Sea Waters under Framework of Ecosystem Approach

Ecosystem approach, a new comprehensive approach to the conservation and management of natural resources, has received universal concern and approval in the world, and it requires the application of the eco-compensation mechanism. Some basic ideas for establishing the marine eco-compensation mechanism are: payers and payees can be identified through analyzing marine ecosystem service changes and impacts on the stakeholders; financial transfer payment and environmental taxes and fees can be used as the main channels for compensation; payment standard can be set up by following the principle of a compromise between calculated theoretic results and “price bargaining”. Focusing on the key human impact on marine ecosystem in Bohai Sea, some preliminary ides on eco-compensation application are given: reform the ongoing charge system of pollutant discharge and enhance its incentives to reduce land pollutants; implement eco-compensation for freshwater demand between Bohai Sea and the river basins for the purpose of increasing freshwater inflow; popularize and strengthen the existing eco-compensation on fishery resources management, and implement the charge system of eco-compensation on reclamation from the sea for land construction.     

Solid partitioning and solid-liquid distribution of Po and Pb in marine anoxic sediments: roads of Cherbourg at the northwestern France

A sequential extraction protocol has been used to determine the solid-phase partition of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in anoxic marine sediment from the roads of Cherbourg (France) in the central English Channel. Measurements were also obtained in pore waters, in which ²¹⁰Po activities range between 1 and 20 mBq L⁻¹ and ²¹⁰Pb activities between 2.4 and 3.8 mBq L⁻¹, with highest activities in the topmost layer. These activities are higher than in seawater, suggesting that sediment act as a source of both ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb for overlying water. The ²¹⁰Po profile in the pore waters is apparently correlated with those obtained for Fe, Mn and SO₄²⁻, suggesting an influence of early diagenetic processes on the ²¹⁰Po solid-liquid distribution. In the sediment, ²¹⁰Po is predominantly bound to organic matter or chromium reducible sulphides, and residuals (clay minerals and refractory oxides). Our results indicate that ²¹⁰Po is not significantly bound to AVS, i.e. acid volatile sulphides: bioturbation could play a role by the early redistribution of ²¹⁰Po bound to acid volatile sulphides in the sediment. ²¹⁰Po, ²¹⁰Pb and Pb exhibit differences in terms of distribution, probably due to a different mode of penetration in the sediment. This work provides information on solid and liquid distribution of ²¹⁰Po and ²¹⁰Pb in marine sediment. These data are very scarce in the litterature.     

浅水湖泊孢粉和植物残体对水生植被的表现率

研究浅水湖泊中植物残体对水生植物的表现率,用于重建近代水生植被历史,可为治理湖泊富营养化,恢复湖泊生态环境提供依据。研究选址为英国北部的一个小湖泊,通过水生植物调查及表层沉积物中植物残体和孢粉分析,及地理信息系统方法定量研究植物残体对水生植物的表现率。结果表明：沉积物中植物残体精确地反映了植物优势种的存在;植物和植物残体的关系是很复杂的,有些植物在残体中表现率明显超高,而有些表现率偏低; 应把叶子和其它非繁殖植株部分作为恢复近代多年生植物历史依据;植物残体传输性较差,主要集中在植物母体附近;利用植物残体与孢粉分析相结合的方法能更准确地重建植被历史。     

玄武湖挺水植物区与敞水区浮游甲壳动物昼夜水平迁移初探

浮游甲壳动物昼夜垂直迁移(DVM)是深水湖泊中的一种常见的现象,在浅水湖泊中,没有明显的下层滞水层为浮游甲壳动物提供避护所,浮游甲壳动物的垂直迁移活动不明显。但浅水湖泊挺水植物的存在为浮游甲壳动物提供了区别于敞水带的生境,结合理化、浮游植物和鱼的因素,对浅水湖泊玄武湖挺水植物区与敞水区浮游甲壳动物的昼夜水平迁移进行了研究。结果得出：浅水湖泊玄武湖中理化环境（如温度、溶解氧和pH)在荷花区、敞水区、荷花区与敞水区的交界区差异不大,对浮游甲壳动物的昼夜水平迁移不起主导作用。荷花区的浮游植物在质量和数量上低于敞水区,浮游甲壳动物在夜间捕食压力小的情况下会向敞水区移动。敞水区、交界区浮游甲壳动物在白天被捕食的风险要大于荷花区,因而白天时间浮游甲壳动物会迁移到荷花区聚集.

土地资源是国家基本资源之一。土地利用状况反映在一个地区土地开垦的指数、土地利用方向、土壤类型、水土流失、植被及覆盖面积、水体类型及覆盖面积等方面,而各种土壤、植被和水体,对日光或不同波长电磁波,有不同的反射、透射和发射特征,在卫片上表现为不同的信息。利用 TM 图象,可区分地表各种土壤、植被和水体的分布,掌握一个地区土地利用现状,制定正确的开发途径。     

鄱阳湖水土环境及其水生维管束植物重金属污染

位于鄱阳湖流域乐安河中下游的德兴铜矿,是我国著名的大型铜业基地,是鄱阳湖流域重金属污染的主要来源之一。2003年7月至8月对鄱阳湖部分流域的水质、沉积物、底泥及水生维管束植物等样品的重金属污染进行了研究调查,采用原子吸收分光光度法分别对样品中的Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd等重金属含量进行了测定,并对测定结果进行了评价。研究结果表明,鄱阳湖流域水体中的重金属含量均达到地表水评价标准中的Ⅰ类标准,底泥、土壤等已受到了一定程度的重金属污染。而水生植物对重金属元素都具有不同程度的富集能力,植物对重金属的富集作用与土壤背景值有一定的相关性,土壤中重金属的背景值越高,植物对重金属的富集量也相应增加。     

Quantitative Relationships between Predatory and Nonpredatory Animals in Freshwater Ecosystems

The ratios between the sizes of predators and prey have been estimated. On average, the linear sizes and body weights of aquatic predatory animals are approximately three and nine times greater, respectively, than those of nonpredatory animals. The biomass of predators in waters with different productivity levels is, on average, about 20% of the biomass of nonpredatory animals. However, the ratio between the biomasses of predatory and nonpredatory animals in the same water body may vary seasonally and annually and differ in different parts of this water body. The average numbers of predatory fish in ichthyocenoses are no more than 3% of the numbers of nonpredatory fish. The living space (individual range) of predatory fish is about 40 times larger than that of their prey. The relatively low numbers of predators in water bodies may be accounted for by the lower number of predatory species and their higher mortality at early developmental stages, compared to nonpredatory species.     

上海滨岸沉积物、上覆水中N含量及时空变化

综合分析了上海海岸潮滩表层沉积物有上覆水中营养盐N的含量,结果显示,表层沉积物中NH4^ －N的含量在8月、2月有11月均很高,占50％－98％,在11月份NH4^ －N和NH3^－－N含量均显著增加;在空间分布上,长江口南岸无机氮含量普遍高于杭州湾北岸,其中NH4^ －N含量峰值出现在SDK和BLG,NH3^－－N的沿程分布与NH4^ －N较为一致,二者均受到排污有长江入海径流输入的影响。上覆水中在2月和8月NH^－－N含量普遍高于NH2^－－N和NH4^ －N,而在11月NH4^ －N的含量则明显增加,并超过了NH3^0－N;无机氮沿程分布呈现较大地区差异的特点,而且NH3^－－N含量普通高于NH4^ －N（SDK、WSK、LC除外）,这受污水排放和所在沉积环境等多因素控制。在对比分析从20世纪80年代至2000年近20年间上海海岸带无机氮含量的变化趋势,发现上海滨岸水及沉积物总体质量在不断下降。其中滨岸水体岸以国家海水水质标准进行评价,发现各采样点无机氮含量均超过四类海水的标准,而且最大超标幅度达到了9．54倍,形势不容乐观。
