水温分层对香溪河库湾浮游植物功能群季节演替的影响

三峡水库水环境问题近年来引起社会广泛关注,以浮游植物功能群为基础,通过对2010年1~12月香溪河库湾水温、浮游植物等进行跟踪监测,探究支流库湾浮游植物群落结构演替趋势及其影响因子。结果表明：香溪河库湾2010年共出现18个浮游植物功能群,其中B、X1、P、Y、X2、D、LO、J、MP、G是代表性功能群;水温分层的季节性发育和消失是浮游植物群落结构演替的主要影响因素;冬季以耐受水温及光照限制的CS/S策略藻种为主;春季弱分层时,CR/R策略藻种适宜生长;夏季汛期时,呈现CR/R/C/CS多种策略藻种混生格局,强分层时,适宜稳定生境的S型策略藻种占据优势;秋季分层被打破,群落结构演替为耐受频繁波动环境的R型群落格局占优势     

干旱对生态系统脆弱性的影响研究——以长江中下游地区为例

将干旱作为定性事件,以长江中下游地区为研究对象,基于生态系统过程模型的动态模拟,根据IPCC有关脆弱性的概念,以生态系统功能特征量偏离多年平均状况的程度及其变化趋势分别定义生态系统对降水变化的敏感性和适应性,在生态系统的尺度上评估其对干旱的脆弱性。结果表明,长江中下游区域生态系统对降水脆弱性的空间分布有较为明显的区域差异。轻度脆弱及以下的生态系统占区域总面积的65%,主要分布在区域的中南部。重度脆弱和高度脆弱区域约占20%,主要分布在长江中下游的西北部。区域内生态系统对降水变率的平均脆弱度为轻度脆弱。干旱会显著增加研究区生态系统的脆弱性,具体表现为干旱导致原本不脆弱的生态系统脆弱度增加,而对脆弱度较高的生态系统的脆弱性影响不大。不同类型生态系统对干旱的响应稍有差异,干旱导致森林生态系统和农业生态系统的脆弱性均有所增加,但农业生态系统对干旱的脆弱性更高于森林生态系统。在研究区内,干旱对生态系统的影响会持续一段时间,但在干旱过后一年,不论是农业生态系统还是森林生态系统的脆弱性均有进一步上升,但相对多年平均水平没有显著差异     

龙岩市省控断面水体中多环芳烃的污染特征、风险评价

对九龙江流域龙岩市省控断面2011年秋季、2012年冬季以及2012年春季河水中多环芳烃(PAHs)进行了分析。结果表明：该控断面河水中PAHs总量浓度变化为99~1788 ng/L,其组成特征是以3环(567%)、5环(246%)和4环(151%)为主,表明3环、4环及5环PAHs是九龙江流域龙岩市省控断面水中PAHs的最主要成分。地表水健康风险评价结果显示,红坊赤坑、雁石桥、捷步桥、顶坊4个采样点苯并\[a\]芘(BaP)毒性当量值(EBaP)均超出我国环境保护部(CEPA)制定的EBaP=2.8 ng/L的国家标准     

Yield and arsenate uptake of arbuscular mycorrhizal tomato colonized by Glomus mosseae BEG167 in As spiked soil under glasshouse conditions

A glasshouse pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonization by Glomus mosseae BEG167 on the yield and arsenate uptake of tomato plants in soil experimentally contaminated with five As levels (0, 25, 50, 75 and 150 mg kg(-1)). Mycorrhizal colonization (50-70% of root length) was little affected by As application and declined only in soil amended with 150 mg As kg(-1). Mycorrhizal colonization increased plant biomass at As application rates of 25, 50 and 75 mg kg(-1). Shoot As concentration increased with increasing As addition up to 50 mg kg(-1) but decreased with mycorrhizal colonization at As addition rates of 75 and 150 mg kg(-1). Shoot As uptake increased with mycorrhizal colonization at most As addition levels studied, but tended to decrease with addition of 150 mg As kg(-1). Total P uptake by mycorrhizal plants was elevated at As rates of 25, 50 and 75 mg kg(-1), and more P was allocated to the roots of mycorrhizal plants. Mycorrhizal plants had higher shoot and root P/As ratios at higher As application rates than did non-mycorrhizal controls. The soil of inoculated treatments had higher available As than uninoculated controls, and higher pH values at As addition levels of 25, 50 and 75 mg kg(-1). Mycorrhizal colonization may have increased plant resistance to potential As toxicity at the highest level of As contamination studied. Mycorrhizal tomato plants may have potential for phytoextraction of As from moderately contaminated soils or phytostabilization of more highly polluted sites.

A review on submarine oil and gas leakage in near field: droplets and plume

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill remains the largest catastrophic release of oil and gas into the deep sea. The irrupted oil and gas substantially impact a marine ecosystem, cause human injury, and have high societal opinions. Therefore, understanding the transport and dispersion of subsurface hydrocarbon provides an imperative substratum for the practical assessment and response of marine oil spill accidents. In this review, we summarize the major advances since the Deepwater Horizon accident, with emphasis on the observation and modeling of the droplet and the formation and dynamics of the plume. Additional complexity including more than the investigation of gas-saturated oil at high-pressure and the effect of Earth’s rotation on near field plume is also outlined. We end with a few outlooks on key priorities for more precisely estimations on future oil spills.
