Influence of hydrodynamic conditions on the production and fate of Posidonia oceanica in a semi-enclosed shallow basin (Stagnone di Marsala,Western Sicily)

An integrated approach using hydrodynamic and transport numerical models, lepidochronology and stable isotope analysis was used to investigate how local hydrodynamic conditions influence the primary production and fate of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica in a Mediterranean semi-enclosed marine system (Stagnone di Marsala). The water mass exchange aptitude of different sectors of the basin was analysed, and data collected were used to select two sectors (colonized by Posidonia oceanica showing the lowest and highest water exchange values) for biological analyses. According to the mean dispersal coefficient differences simulated by the hydrodynamic model, growth rate and primary production of P. oceanica differed between sectors, with average values lower in the central sector where water exchange is lower than in the southern sector. Although P. oceanica coverage and primary production were higher in the southern sector, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis suggests that the transfer of seagrass organic matter to higher trophic levels of the food web was higher in the central sector. The possibility of a link between hydrodynamism, production and fate of organic matter is proposed to explain the observed patterns.

系统评价EM菌液在生活污水处理中的应用效果

采用在生活污水中投加有效微生物群的方法,系统评价了ＥＭ对污水中三类常见污染物去除率的影响。结果表明（１）好氧条件下,ＥＭ显著提高污水ＣＯＤｃｒ去除的适宜加入量为５／１００００－１／１０００,增幅达达１０％;厌氧条件下,ＥＭ对污水ＣＯＤｃｒ的去除没有促进作用。（２）ＥＭ在好氧条件下能显著或极显著提高污水ＮＨ４＾＋－Ｎ的硝化程度,当ＥＭ加量为５／１０００时效效果最好,增幅达３７．６２％,厌氧条件下,当
