湖南省水土流失及其危害

目前湖南省水土流失面积已由50a前的1.87万km2增加为4.40万km2,占全省土地总面积的20.8％。水土流失为中等以上的县市占全省的比例达到了60％。湖南省水土流失以面蚀为主,水土流失日趋严重。水土流失主要有以下危害降低土壤肥力,加剧旱洪灾害尤其是湖区的洪涝灾害,降低水利工程效益和阻碍水上交通。由此可见,水土保持工作不仅关系到湖南山区的经济发展和广大山区人民的脱贫致富,还关系到保护环境、资源和洞庭湖区的长治久安问题。     

Arsenic species in the well water and sediments of the blackfoot disease area in Taiwan

The blackfoot disease (BFD) observed in southwestern Taiwan is due to drinking high arsenic concentrations in well water. This paper presents some results concerning the distributions of arsenic species in water and sediments collected in the BFD (well, river and coastal) area and the background (lake and ocean) area for comparison. The results show that the concentrations of arsenate (870 ± 26 ug/L) and arsenite (70.2 ± 2.6 ug/ L) in well waters, and the contents of arsenic (1640 ug/g) with high percentage of easily reducible (Fe and Mn oxides, 91.7%) and exchangeable and carbonate (4.6%) phases in well sediments were much higher than those in river, lake and coastal samples. Low arsenic (3.46–31.8 ug/g) with high percentages (73.8–97.3%) of detritus and minerals phase with low percentages (0.4–9.8%) of total carbonate and exchangeable phases were found in the river and coastal samples in the BFD area as well as the lake and ocean samples in background area. It might suggest that the higher concentrations of toxic As(III) in well water and arsenic with higher values of easily reducible, carbonate and exchangeable phases in the well sediments, combined with the higher values of dissolved organic carbon, humic and fulvic acids and aromatic carbon as well as the higher fluorescence indensity in the well water are the key factors to cause the BFD in Taiwan.     

不同水深条件下狐尾藻生长对沉积物氮磷的影响

采用巢湖原位试验研究了80、160和240 cm 3个水深条件下生长的沉水植物狐尾藻(Myriophyllum spicatum L.)对沉积物和间隙水中氮磷的影响。结果表明,狐尾藻的株高和生物量随着水深的增加总体呈下降趋势,并且其差异随着生长期的延长而加大,水深为240 cm的条件下狐尾藻具有最小的株高和生物量,即240 cm的大水深条件不利于狐尾藻的个体形态构建;而相对浅的水深条件(80和160 cm)则是其生长的较佳生境。狐尾藻的生长过程中能够通过根系吸收和根际环境的改变使沉积物和间隙水中的氮磷含量明显下降,一定程度上降低了沉积物氮磷向上覆水体释放的风险,并且其抑制能力随着不同水深条件下植株的长势不同而有所差异,即在植株生长良好的浅水条件下其对沉积物和间隙水中氮磷的抑制效果更佳。因此,较浅的水环境有利于沉水植物的生长,同时还能充分发挥植物对沉积物氮磷的控释作用。     

Unusual characteristics in a Meromictic lake in Greece

The studied lake, a meromictic shallow lagoon, in Peloponissos, presents unusual physical and chemical features which derive mainly from its mineral springs, and the sea water that invades into the lake. The form of vegetation and the abundant organic matter of the mud together with the sulfate salts of the water create conditions which are responsible for the production of gases such as H₂S and CH₄. Vertical profiles of temperature, salinity and oxygen show that a large area of the lake is well stratified, at least periodically and no marked mixing occurs, between the upper less saline water and the lower saline water. In the halocline the vertical gradient of salinity is large. Mesothermic and poikilothermic conditions were also observed, whereas large temperature differences were recorded in water column.

Status and trends in research and development projects in the mountains: A situational analysis in the Indian Himalaya

The mountains hold the key to global ecological and social stability by virtue of being centres of biological and cultural diversity and the storehouse for water and other resources. However, they are becoming unable to sustain the demands of the changing life style of the growing number of inhabitants as well as the population in the plains and, therefore, the resources are depleting rapidly. Inadequacy of research and development (R&D) projects undertaken in mountain ecosystems is, perhaps, a major factor that has not enabled us to evolve and introduce suitable interventions to replenish and restore the health of the degraded mountains. In this article, taking the Indian Himalayan region as a case study, an effort has been made to understand the adequacy and appropriateness of R&D projects in mountain ecosystems by analysing the research and development projects implemented in this region from 1985–86 to1998–99. The analysis revealed inadequacy in the number and budgets of R&D projects implemented in this mountain ecosystem as a whole as well as in specific subject areas; the number of R&D projects implemented during this period was only 5.28% of the total projects, with a fund allocation of 4.45% of the total R&D budget of India, which appears to be inadequate considering the geophysical and bio-social importance of the Himalaya. The finding suggests that national funding agencies of mountain nations need to increase the number of R&D projects in mountain regions as a priority, with the intention of developing scientific packages capable of restoring the degraded ecosystem of the mountains and ensuring their sustainable development.     

Functional clustering of varved lake sediment to reconstruct past seasonal climate

Annually laminated (varved) lake sediments constitutes excellent environmental archives, and have the potential to play an important role for understanding past seasonal climate with their inherent annual time resolution and within-year seasonal patterns. We propose to use functional data analysis methods to extract the relevant information with respect to climate reconstruction from the rich but complex information in the varves, including the shapes of the seasonal patterns, the varying varve thickness, and the non-linear sediment accumulation rates. In particular we analyze varved sediment from lake Kassjön in northern Sweden, covering the past 6400 years. The properties of each varve reflect to a large extent weather conditions and internal biological processes in the lake the year that the varve was deposited. Functional clustering is used to group the seasonal patterns into different types, that can be associated with different weather conditions. The seasonal patterns were described by penalized splines and clustered by the k-means algorithm, after alignment. The observed (within-year) variability in the data was used to determine the degree of smoothing for the penalized spline approximations. The resulting clusters and their time dynamics show great potential for seasonal climate interpretation, in particular for winter climate changes.     

Infant health impacts of freshwater algal blooms: Evidence from an invasive species natural experiment

Economists are increasingly interested in causally interpretable estimates of environmental health externalities, particularly on infant health. This paper focuses on a specific case by investigating microcystin, a toxin produced by freshwater blue-green algal blooms. We exploit a natural experiment caused by a zebra mussel die-off in a large lake located in the state of Michigan, USA to identify changes in microcystin-related infant outcomes surrounding the lake. Using both the synthetic control method and a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that instances of low birth weight around the lake fell by 1.4 percentage points after lake water quality improved. Along the intensive margin, birth weight and length of gestation increased by 17.1 g and 0.47 weeks, respectively. Improvements to low birth weight result in $768,500 in average annual hospitalization cost savings. Many robustness and falsification tests are performed including using both annual and monthly data and accounting for possible weather confounders and seasonality. Results suggest that microcystin can affect infant health at levels below current water advisory guidelines.     

The role of archaeophytes and neophytes in the Dutch coastal dunes

The position of alien plant species in the Dutch coastal dune vegetation is evaluated considering 12 archaeophytes and 20 neophytes (including one moss), all of widespread occurrence in the coastal area of the Netherlands. Almost all archaeophytes have become part of natural vegetation types. Open scrub communities, in particular Hippophae rhamnoides-Sambucus nigra scrub at the leeside of the outer dunes, and calciphilous moss-dominated pioneer vegetation are relatively rich in archaeophytes. Among neophyte vascular species a contrast is apparent between herbaceous and woody species. The majority of herbaceous neophytes are characteristic of man-disturbed habitats and are only infrequently observed in natural vegetation types. However, woody species (as well as the moss Campylopus introflexus) have entered into natural vegetation on a large scale and behave in an invasive way.     

A proposed standard method for composite sampling of water chemistry and plankton in small lakes

In this paper a method for collection of vertically and horizontally integrated volume-weighted composite samples for analysis of water chemistry and plankton is presented. The method, which requires a proper knowledge of lake morphometry parameters, includes proposed standard procedures for determination of sampling interval thickness, maximum depth of sampling, selection of sampling stations, and distribution of discrete samples. An example of the outcome of the method in a lake with uncomplicated basin morphometry is given and the results are discussed against background of general lake basin morphometry data. The aim of the paper is to start a debate about optimization (statistical as well as ecological) of volume weighted composite sampling.

Metals concentration associated with respirable particulate matter (PM10) in industrial area of Eastern U.P. India

The present study deals with the assessment of ambient air quality with respect to respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM or PM10 < or = 10 microm) and trace metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr Ni, Cd, Mn and Pb) concentrations in RSPM at five locations of Renukoot, an industrial area of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The 24 hr mean concentrations of PM10 ranged between 69.3 to 118.9 microg m(-3), which is well within the permissible limit (150 microg m(-3)) of national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) but found higher than the prescribed annual daily limit of US EPA (50 microg m(-3)). The ambient air was mostly dominated by the Fe and least by the Cd among the metal analysed. Murdhawa, a commercial place influenced by vehicular population, is found to be the most polluted area of Renukoot and Dongia nalla (forest area) the least. The ambient air of Murdhawa is rich in Cu and Ni, indicating contribution of mobile sources. The Rammandir a residential place near the industry, is rich in Cd and Cr suggesting contribution of point sources. The Ni concentration is found to be alarmingly high in the air at all the locations except Dongia nallah, when compared with the EC (European Commission) limit (20 ng m(-3)). The Cd concentration is found to be higher only at Rammandir as compared with the EC limit (5 ng m(-3)). Mean concentrations of Zn, Pb and Mn are found to be almost equal in the ambient air of all the locations, suggesting the significance of sources contributing to presence of these metals. Zn, Cu, Pb and Ni having a significant correlation with PM10 indicate the same source contributing these metals as well as PM10. The present study has focused on the quantitative variation in different metals in the PM10, which is extremely harmful due to their toxic and carcinogenic nature.

水动力条件对湖泊水体磷素质量浓度的影响

以环形水槽为研究手段，利用其可控的流速及可模拟的无限长，解决了前人未解决的湖泊水体水动力难以真实模拟的难题，模拟研究了不同流速对湖泊(太湖)水体中磷素质量浓度的影响。研究表明，随着水体流速的变化，湖泊水体中TP质量浓度的变化呈现3个阶段，即下降期、上升期和突增期。从物理化学和泥沙起动理论两方面，结合水流对悬浮物和沉积物的作用，分析了各阶段产生的原因。文章认为下降期的产生是因为在低流速下，一部分磷被悬浮物的絮凝沉淀带走所引起；上升期的产生则是因为流速上升扰动沉积物，使其达到少量动状态所引起；突增期的产生则是因为流速导致了沉积物普遍动而产生的。在研究范围内，溶解性磷质量浓度与水体流速有着明显的正相关关系；而在低流速下，溶解性磷是TP的主要组成成分，其质量浓度的相对比例可高达87％。结合太湖的有关研究，文章认为这是水华现象产生的关键原因。     

1987-2008年南四湖湿地植被碳储量时空变化特征

利用研究区1987、1997和2008年的LandsatTM／ETM＋卫星遥感数据,结合实地采样调查和收集的资料,计算3个时期山东省南四湖湿地各植被类型的面积和碳储量;同时依照不同覆被类型（植被类型）的平均碳储量将各覆被类型的斑块划分为不同储碳等级,绘制3个时期的南四湖湿地植被碳格局图,分析植被碳储量的时空变化特征、变化产生的原因和变化对湿地的潜在影响。研究结果表明：研究前期（1987年）植被储碳格局存在着明显的植被碳储量以湖南北中心线向两岸增大的带状特征,研究中后期（1997-2008年）带状储碳格局不断破碎化并最终消失。整个研究期高储碳等级的斑块面积不断减小,低储碳等级的斑块面积增加。湿地植被碳储量呈现前期基本稳定后期显著减少的特征,1987、1997和2008年湿地植被碳储量均值分别为1．07、1．08和O．64TgC,1987-1997年湿地植被碳储量平均年增加0．001TgC,变化幅度不大;1997-2008年年减少0．04TgC,下降较明显。其中自然植被碳储量在整个研究期内持续减少,人工植被碳储量呈现先增加后减少的波动变化特征,分析认为这一变化特征产生的主要原因是南四湖地区多因子驱动的土地覆被变化活动。通过区域湿地植被的碳平衡动态分析认为,植被碳储量（碳库）的减少可能会导致整个湿地碳储量的入不敷出,使整个湿地碳汇能力下降甚至可能变为碳源。     

洞庭湖区生态环境退化状况及其原因分析

洞庭湖居湖南省东北隅,长江荆江段南岸。湖泊形状呈近似“U”字形,岳阳站水位33.50 m时(黄海基面),湖长143.00 km,最大湖宽30.00 km,平均湖宽17.01 km,湖泊面积2625 km2;最大水深23.5 m,平均水深6.39 m,蓄水量167?08 m3。因入湖泥沙长期淤积、高洲围垦、并垸合流等自然因素和人类活动的共同影响,自清代末期以来,湖泊形态演变剧烈,湖盆抬高,入湖河流三角洲快速发育,湖面南移而缩小;现湖体已明显演变为西洞庭湖、南洞庭湖和东洞庭湖首尾相接三个部分,具有“高水湖相,低水河相”的典型特征。洞庭湖区不但是我国受洪水威胁最严重的地区之一,而且生态退化和环境问题也十分突出,一直受到国家的高度重视。文章在大量调查的基础上,对洞庭湖及其湖区的生态环境退化状况、产生原因和可能带来的负面影响等方面进行了初步分析。     

Similarity relations in a stable and relatively neutral surface layer in an urban area with complex topography (Tehran)

In this paper the flow and turbulent structures are investigated over the city of Tehran (an urban area located in a basin surrounded by high mountains in the north and east). A number of non-dimensional parameters are investigated in the frame work of Monin–Obukhov similarity theory (MOST) using a local scaling approach. These parameters include dimensionless wind gradient, normalized standard deviations of three components of wind and dimensionless momentum fluxes. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate MOST in predicting the above parameters for the selected terrain at 15 and 105 m heights. The prevailing conditions are stable and relatively neutral, based on stability parameter using local Obukhov length. For this study, data of a PA1 SODAR with supplementary data of a 100-m tower with four 2D sonic anemometers and also a 2D sonic anemometer installed at 2 m height have been used. Our results confirm that the non-dimensional parameters could be collapsed in to the similarity expressions only at 105 m height (that lies in the inertial sub-layer) not at 15 m height (that belongs to the roughness sub-layer). It is important to note that the obtained empirical constants for all of the considered parameters show considerable differences with those reported by others for other surface types. This is attributed to the local effects for where that the topographic wave forcing may need special considerations. This robustly emphasizes the importance of MOST validation for urban area with topography as Tehran. Consequently, MOST has been successfully verified at 105 m for Tehran data set with new empirical constants.     

海水混合和层化对叶绿素a垂直分布的影响

根据长江口海区、近岸浅水区、黄海冷水团海区和水深超过200m的陆架区等四个区域的定点调查获得的数据，分析了温度、盐度与叶绿素a垂直分布的相互关系。结果表明，长江口海区，陆源径流与海水混合不充分，表层营养盐含量较高，表层叶绿素a含量高于中下水层。近岸浅水区的苏北近岸海水垂向没有温跃层和盐跃层，叶绿素a的垂向分布也均匀，东海西部沿岸出现逆温跃层和逆盐跃层，海水垂直混合不充分，叶绿素a含量(6．72mg／m^3)在10m深水域最高。黄海冷水团海区海水的垂直混合不充分，叶绿素a的垂直变化显著，高值区出现在温跃层下方(4．37mg／m^3)。水深超过200m的陆架区，温度的阶梯状结构、营养盐跃层、光照等因素共同导致整个水层叶绿素a含量普遍较低。同时，结合历史资料分析认为，海水的混合、温度和盐度的层化将影响营养盐的浓度和分布，从而影响海水中叶绿素a的垂直分布。
