张家界森林大气中醛酮类化合物浓度变化特征

为探究中亚热带森林大气中醛酮类化合物浓度变化特征,于2014年8月—2015年1月在张家界森林公园采用 EPA TO-11A方法对张家界森林大气中醛酮类化合物质量浓度进行了监测.结果表明:张家界森林大气中主要的醛酮类化合物为甲醛、乙醛、丙酮、丙醛和MACR(甲基丙烯醛),质量浓度分别为4.32、0.95、3.01、0.48和0.51 μg/m3.大气中ρ(甲醛)、 ρ(乙醛)和ρ(MACR)的季节变化特征很明显,夏季和秋季醛酮类化合物质量浓度较高,冬季醛酮类化合物质量浓度较低.此外,醛酮类化合物质量浓度日变化显著,除了10月、12月受人为因素影响较大外,其余月份醛酮质量浓度最大值通常出现在13:00—15:00.张家界森林大气中C1/C2(ρ(甲醛)/ρ(乙醛))为5.72,比城市地区(C1/C2为1左右)高,但比偏远森林地区(C1/C2为10左右)低.ρ(甲醛)与ρ(乙醛)、 ρ(MACR)均呈正相关且达到显著水平,而ρ(丙酮)与ρ(甲醛)、 ρ(乙醛)与ρ(MACR)的相关性差.与文献报道的加拿大Ontario、墨西哥Langmuir等地区对比,张家界森林大气中醛酮类化合物质量浓度较高,但明显低于北京、上海等城市地区.研究显示,张家界森林大气中甲醛、乙醛和MACR主要来自森林地区植物排放的VOCs光氧化生成,丙酮除了来自植物排放的有机物光氧化分解外,还有其他人为源,进一步说明了张家界森林大气中醛酮类化合物浓度变化主要受光化学反应等自然影响,但人为因素的影响也不容忽略.      

Influence of Methodology and Assumptions on Reported National Carbon Flux Inventories: An Illustration from the Canadian Forest Sector

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has developed guidelines to standardize the international reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals by signatory nations of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. With regard to forest sector carbon fluxes, the IPCC guidelines require only that those fluxes directly associated with human activities (i.e., harvesting and land-use change) be reported. In Canada, the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS2) has been used to assess carbon fluxes from the entire forest sector. This model accounts for carbon fluxes associated with both anthropogenic and natural disturbances, such as wild fires and insects. We combined model results for the period 1985 to 1989 with additional data to compile seven different national carbon flux inventories for the forest sector. These inventories incorporate different system components under a variety of seemingly plausible assumptions, some of which are encouraged refinements to the default flux inventory described in the IPCC guidelines. The resulting estimated net carbon fluxes varied from a net removal of 185,000 kt carbon per year of the inventory period to a netemission of 89,000 kt carbon per year. Following the default procedures in the IPCC guidelines, while using the best available national data, produced an inventory with a net removal of atmospheric carbon. Adding the effect of natural disturbances to that inventory reversed the sign of the net flux resulting in a substantial emission. Including the carbon fluxes associated with root biomass in the first inventory increased the magnitude of the estimated net removal. The variability of these results emphasizes the need for a systems approach in constructing a flux inventory. We argue that the choice of which fluxes to include in the inventory should be based on the importance of these fluxes to the overall carbon budget and not on the perceived ease with which flux estimates can be obtained. The results of this analysis also illustrate two specific points. Even those Canadian forests which are most free from direct human interactions—forests in which no commercial harvesting occurs—are not in equilibrium, and their contribution to national carbon fluxes should be included in the reported flux inventory. Moreover, those forest areas that are subject to direct management are still substantially impacted by natural disturbances. The critical effect of inventory methodology and assumptions on inventory results has important ramifications for efforts to “monitor” and “verify” programs aimed at mitigating global carbon emissions.     

Vertical distributions of COS,CS2, DMS and other sulfur compounds in a loblolly pine forest

Measurements of atmospheric COS, CS₂, DMS, SO₂ and aerosol sulfate and methanesulfonate (MSA) concentrations were conducted in a loblolly pine forest in central Georgia between July and September 1990. The daytime profiles obtained for the reduced sulfur gases (COS, CS₂, DMS) often showed significantly higher concentrations at the canopy level than above the forest canopy, indicating a net emission of these gases from the tree tops. No evidence was found for a net uptake of COS by the canopy during daytime. With one exception, all COS concentrations measured during the day were significantly higher than corresponding nighttime values. These results appear to be in conflict with recent studies suggesting a net uptake of atmospheric COS by plants during photosynthetic activity. Possible explanations for these different findings are discussed. Nighttime profiles indicated no major biosphere-atmosphere exchange of COS, CS₂ or DMS. Nighttime DMS concentrations were significantly higher than corresponding daytime values. A clear inverse relationship between the diel variations of DMS and MSA was observed, consistent with rapid photochemical oxidation of DMS under the given conditions.     

Analysis of atmospheric ozone measurements over a pine forest

Vertical and horizontal profiles of ozone concentration have been measured within the atmospheric boundary layer over the pine forest located in the southwest of France (Landes Forest). Evidence for an ozone depletion in lower layers is obtained from the analysis of vertical profiles recorded at the end of the night. In terms of deposition at the upper canopy level, this corresponds to a disappearance rate ranging between 0.2 and 0.5 cm s⁻¹. The horizontal profiles obtained at midday reveal that ozone vanishes at a rate of the order of 5 × 10⁻⁵ ppb m⁻¹ when air mass moving in the advection direction passes over the forested area. These results are consistent with those obtained by numeric simulation in the case of low emission rates of nitrogen oxides. On the basis of these measurements, the expression of the ozone budget within the atmospheric boundary layer is discussed and compared with the data obtained from the simulation study.     

Separation of anthropogenic and natural emissions of particulate heavy metals in the western Mediterranean atmosphere

Measurements of atmospheric particulate matter often include both natural and anthropogenic aerosols. The method proposed here allows the two contributions to be separated, and then, to be estimated. Sampling was carried out at Cape Ferrat, on the southeastern coast of France, during 1986 and 1987. The concentrations of Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd were measured using flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The concentration data allowed us to establish, for each metal, an experimental probability density function, which was numerically analyzed. The numerical process is described in detail. The results show a good agreement between the calculated natural background aerosol at Cape Ferrat and natural concentration levels measured in several remote locations. Differences are explainable by the nature of the environment. Anthropogenic emissions are very high compared with natural inputs, because most of the airborne heavy metals in the western Mediterranean arise from human activities.     

Nitrogenous air pollutants at a southern California mountain forest smog receptor site

Ambient levels of the nitrogenous pollutants NO, NO₂, nitric acid, nitrous acid, ammonia, particulate nitrate, particulate ammonium, peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) and peroxypropionyl nitrate (PPN) have been measured at a southern California mountain forest location severely impacted by urban photochemical smog. Air quality at the mountain forest location was characterized by high levels of nitric acid (up to 18 ppb) and the phytotoxic peroxyacyl nitrates PAN (up to 22 ppb) and PPN (up to 5 ppb). Alkyl nitrates were below our detection limits of 0.05–0.5 ppb. The (PAN + PPN)/NO₂ ratios varied substantially (range 0.03–2.27) and were generally large, with typical 24-h averages of 0.19–0.50. Diurnal variations of the (PAN/PPN)/NO₂ ratio exhibited both nighttime and daytime maxima reflecting diurnal variations in PAN (and PPN) thermal stability and photochemical production rates, respectively. Organic nitrogen-containing oxidation products (PAN + PPN) were more abundant than inorganic nitrate (HNO₃ + NO₃⁻), with an average organic/inorganic concentration ratio of 2.5 (daytime ratio 1.0; nighttime ratio 3.7). The four oxidation products PAN, PPN, HNO₃ and NO₃⁻ together accounted for 0.26 of the total reactive nitrogen. The results are discussed with respect to diurnal and seasonal variations and in terms of NO₂ atmospheric oxidation pathways. Deposition fluxes and velocities to ponderosa pine have been measured for inorganic nitrate and for ammonium and have been compared with those obtained at other mountain forest locations.     

Afforestation opportunities when stand productivity is driven by a high risk of natural disturbance: a review of the open lichen woodland in the eastern boreal forest of Canada

Afforestation has the potential to offset the increased emission of atmospheric carbon dioxide and has therefore been proposed as a strategy to mitigate climate change. Here we review the opportunities for carbon (C) offsets through open lichen woodland afforestation in the boreal forest of eastern Canada as a case study, while considering the reversal risks (low productivity, fires, insect outbreaks, changes in land use and the effects of future climate on growth potential as well as on the disturbances regime). Our results suggest that : (1) relatively low growth rate may act as a limiting factor in afforestation projects in which the time available to increase C is driven by natural disturbances; (2) with ongoing climate change, a global increase in natural disturbance rates, mainly fire and spruce budworm outbreaks, may offset any increases in net primary production at the landscape level; (3) the reduction of the albedo versus increase in biomass may negatively affect the net climate forcing; (4) the impermanence of C stock linked to the reversal risks makes this scenario not necessarily cost attractive. More research, notably on the link between fire risk and site productivity, is needed before afforestation can be incorporated into forest management planning to assist climate change mitigation efforts. Therefore, we suggest that conceivable mitigation strategies in the boreal forest will likely have to be directed activities that can reduce emissions and can increase C sinks while minimizing the reversal impacts. Implementation of policies to reduce Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the boreal forest should consider the biophysical interactions, the different spatial and temporal scales of their benefits, the costs (investment and benefits) and how all these factors are influenced by the site history.

Terpenes in a conifer forest: Detection at sub-parts per billion level without sample preconcentration

In a natural atmosphere free from anthropogenic emissions, terpenes constitute a major part of the biogenic hydrocarbon family. The study of their involvement in chemical reactions with various oxidants in the atmosphere requires continuous and accurate checking of their diurnal concentration variations. In past studies, the ever present sample preconcentration step with large sample volumes is expected to be associated with the problems of sample loss or chemical modifications in addition to their limitations on the measurement frequency. To improve upon these drawbacks, a commercially available microprocessor-based portable gas chromatograph with an ultra-sensitive detector was successfully tested and used for in situ measurements. With a direct sample volume of a few hundred microlitres of ambient air and suitable selection of the column packing material, quick separation of the various components was achieved. Excellent operational features and on-line calibration with pure samples allowed accurate and instant measurements during field studies. The photoionization (PI) detector allowed high S/N ratio even at sub-parts per billion level concentration of the hydrocarbons. Data collected over a one-year period under varying meteorological conditions from a conifer forest situated at Gulmarg (34°03′N, 74°24′E, 2650 m MSL) indicates the suitability of this system for remote field studies and also throws light on the lifecycle of these hydrocarbons in the natural atmosphere. The different hydrocarbons measured in this evaluation study includes isoprene, α-pinene and β-pinene.     

红壤丘陵区不同森林恢复类型土壤种子库特征研究

研究采用野外取样和室内萌发相结合的方法对湖南红壤丘陵区4种森林恢复类型下土壤种子库进行了比较研究。主要结论为:①草本植物是4种森林类型土壤种子库物种组成和个体数量的主要组成部分,其比例分别达61.9％-86.67％和49.82％-87.27％。4种植被类型种子库密度大小为:杉木林>湿地松林>油茶林>天然次生林;②天然次生林的灌木和乔木植物种子种类与数量多于人工林;③湿地松人工林和杉木人工林的人工抚育导致部分种子埋藏在土壤较深层,土壤8-20cm中种子数分别占种子库的33.09％和26.64％;④对于土壤种子库的物种多样性,天然次生林显著大于人工林,干扰少的油茶林大于干扰较多的湿地松林和杉木林,天然次生林最有利于该区域植物物种多样性的维持与保护;⑤不同森林恢复类型下种子库中种子来源不一致,湿地松林和杉木林土壤种子库中的物种与地表植物物种较一致,共有物种比例达69.2％和43.8％,而油茶林和天然次生林种子库中的物种与地上植被的种类组成差异较大,共有物种比例仅为26.7％和33.3％。研究结果表明,从物种丰富度与群落结构复杂性来看,我国南方红壤丘陵区森林恢复类型以自然恢复最优。对人工林的抚育方式,该区域采用的“全抚”将增加种子库的损失,不利于植被的恢复。

Measurements of wet and dry deposition at an urban location in India

Wet and dry depositions were collected in Pune city using 24-h and weekly sampling periods, respectively, from January 1984 to December 1988. All the wet and dry deposition samples were analysed for major cations and anions along with pH. Dry depositions were minimum in the monsoon season and maximum in the winter season though there was no significant difference in pH values. The wet deposition of all ionic components was found to be higher than the dry deposition. The depositions of the ionic components from natural sources (soil and sea) were higher than those from anthropogenic sources. The dry deposition velocities of the aerosols were found to be increasing with increase of their mass median diameters. The chemical composition of the dry deposition at Pune indicated maximum depositions of the alkaline substances, which are the main cause for the alkaline pH of rain water. Results of the present study have suggested that the atmospheric composition in the city is strongly influenced by natural sources rather than anthropogenic.     

From federal to city mitigation and adaptation: climate change policy in Mexico City

Climate change is projected to affect Latin America and the Caribbean as a result of increased temperatures and changed rainfall patterns. The impacts of climate change are expected to be unevenly distributed throughout the region, due to differences in geographic location, demographic pressures, levels of poverty, and natural resource dependence. To date, few studies have explored these impacts and the governmental responses to cope with them at a city scale. This article examines the challenges faced by the Mexico City government as it translates the federal climate change policy into successful mitigation and adaptation. It analyzes climate change impacts on Mexico and Mexico City (also known as the Federal District), the federal and city’s mitigation and adaptation responses, and advances and contradictions in the implementation of these strategies at the national and city levels. Similar problems have limited the effectiveness of these actions at both the federal and city levels, including the overexploitation of natural resources, a lack of climate information and monitoring systems, and the subordination of climate change strategies to the objectives of economic growth and poverty reduction. These problems have resulted in poor coordination and collaboration among various levels of government to cope with climate change, in addition to avoiding local capacity building, particularly in regard to forest conservation.
