Modelling nitrogen fluxes at the landscape scale

The distribution and impacts of different nitrogen pollutants are inextricably linked. To understand the problem fully, the interactions between the different pollutants need to be taken into account. This is particularly important when it comes to abatement techniques, since measures to reduce emissions of one nitrogen pollutant can often lead to an increase in another. This project represents a step towards greater understanding of these issues by linking together new and existing nitrogen flux models into a larger framework. The modelling framework has been constructed and some of the nitrogen flows between fields, farms and the atmosphere have been modelled for a UK study area for typical farm management scenarios.     

Rapid amino acid cycling in arctic and antarctic soils

Amino acids constitute one of the largest inputs of organic nitrogen (N) to most polar soils and have been hypothesized to be important in regulating vegetational succession and productivity in Arctic ecosystems. Our understanding of amino acid cycling in these soils, however, is poor. The aim of this study was to investigate the size and rate of turnover of the amino acid pool in a range of Arctic and Antarctic soils. Our results indicate that in polar soils with either high or low ornithogenic inputs the amino acid pool is small in comparison to the inorganic N pool (NO^–₃ and NH⁺₄). The free amino acid pool constituted only a small proportion of the total dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) pool in these soils. Here we show that these low concentrations may be due to rapid use by the soil microbial community in both Arctic and Antarctic soils. The turnover of the amino acid pool in soil was extremely rapid, with a half-life ranging from 2 to 24 h, indicating that this N pool can be turned over many hundred times each summer when polar soils are frequently unfrozen. The implications of amino acids in N cycling and plant and microbial nutrition are discussed.     

Applying metabolic fingerprinting to ecology: The use of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy for the rapid screening of plant responses to N deposition

The potential for metabolic fingerprinting via Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to provide a novel approach for the detection of plant biochemical responses to N deposition is examined. An example of spectral analysis using shoot samples taken from an open top chamber (OTC) experiment simulating wet ammonium deposition is given. Sample preparation involved oven drying and homogenisation via mill grinding. Slurries of a consistent dilution were then prepared prior to FT-IR analysis. Spectra from control, 8 and 16 kg N ha^–1 yr^–1 treatments were then subjected to cross-validated discriminant function analysis. Ordination diagrams showed clear separation between the three N treatments examined. The potential for using Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull as a bioindicator of N deposition is further evident from these results. The results also clearly demonstrate the power of FT-IR in discriminating between subtle phenotypic alterations in overall plant biochemistry as affected by ammonium pollution.

稳定同位素混合模型揭示的长江下游新石器时代人群摄食策略

长江下游地区是稻作农业的主要起源地之一。然而,水稻对长江下游新石器时代人群饮食的贡献程度仍不清晰。稳定同位素混合模型能够量化揭示长江下游地区史前人群的摄食策略。系统收集长江下游地区已发表的人骨、动物骨和植物稳定碳氮同位素数据,基于稳定同位素混合模型,对长江下游地区新石器时代人群的摄食策略进行研究。结果发现：距今7.0—5.3 ka长江下游地区人群可能摄食多种动植物资源,该时期水稻对人类饮食的贡献与其他植物资源基本相当。距今5.3—4.3 ka,水稻已超过其他动植物资源,成为美人地遗址人群的主要食物资源。研究揭示了长江下游新石器时代文明化进程与稻作农业发展具有同步性,狩猎采集经济则为该区域文明化进程起到基础支撑作用。     

液固比对含重金属水泥熟料制品中重金属释放的影响

通过模拟煅烧试验制取水泥熟料,参照JGJ 55-2000（《普通混凝土配比设计规程》）制取混凝土样品,参考SR003.1和NEN 7375浸出试验,分别研究液固比对粒状及块状混凝土样品中重金属（Cr、Ni和As）释放的影响。结果表明,在不同液固比条件下粒状混凝土中的重金属浸出浓度为Cr>Ni>As,Cr、As浸出浓度基本保持不变,分别为2 500 μg/L左右和5～6 μg/L,Ni在液固比（L∶S）<6时,浸出浓度随着液固比的增加而降低,在L∶S>6时,浸出浓度较稳定,为35.7～41.5 μg/L;浸出量均随着液固比的增加而增大。液固比（L∶S）<10时,块状混凝土中重金属累积释放量及扩散系数均随液固比的增加而增大,当L∶S>10时两者基本保持不变。     

水中安替比林的紫外光降解研究

以波长为254 nm的紫外杀菌灯为光源,研究了水溶液中消炎镇痛药物安替比林（PZ）的光降解行为;考察了初始pH值及水中其他物质对PZ光降解的影响,探讨了PZ光解机制,并分析其降解产物及光解途径。结果表明,安替比林的光降解遵循拟一级反应动力学规律,pH值变化对光解速率基本没有影响。安替比林直接光降解占主导作用,活性氧类物种（ROS）对安替比林间接光解基本没有贡献。腐殖酸对安替比林光降解有抑制作用,而NO^-₃,HCO^-₃,Cl^-对安替比林光降解没有明显作用。GC-MS分析表明安替比林在紫外辐射下生成甲酰胺,乙酰胺,2-羟基吲哚-3-酮,2,4（1氢,3甲基）-喹唑啉二酮,1-甲基-2-羟基苯并咪唑,2-羟基苯并恶唑等一系列具有安替比林母体苯环结构的化合物,表明安替比林侧链上N—N键断裂导致其最终降解。

2015~2021年青藏高原地表臭氧时空变化及驱动因素分析

基于青藏高原12个城市2015~2021年的大气污染监测数据和气象数据,分析了青藏高原地表臭氧（O₃）时空分布格局. 采用KZ滤波将O₃-8h原始序列分解为不同时间尺度的分量,并利用气象变量的多元线性回归定量地分离出气象和排放的影响. 结果表明,2015~2021年青藏高原12个城市地表ρ（O₃-8h）均值为78.7~156.7 μg·m^-3,O₃浓度超标率（国家二级标准）为0.7%~1.5%. O₃-8h月浓度变化呈单峰倒“V”型和多峰“M”型,浓度峰值出现在4~7月,谷值多出现在7月、 9月和12月. 经KZ滤波分解的O₃-8h短期、季节和长期分量对12个城市O₃-8h原始序列总方差的贡献率分别为29.6%、 51.4%和9.1%. 从整个区域看,2015~2017年气象条件对青藏高原O₃降低不利,使得O₃-8h长期分量升高0.2~2.1 μg·m^-3. 2018~2021年气象有利于O₃浓度降低,导致O₃-8h长期分量降低0.4~1.1 μg·m^-3. 气象条件增加了阿里、拉萨、那曲、林芝、昌都、海西和西宁的O₃-8h长期分量,其平均贡献率为30.1%. 气象条件降低了日喀则和果洛的O₃-8h长期分量,贡献率分别为359.0%和56.5%. 阿里、日喀则、那曲、海西和西宁O₃-8h长期分量的上升可能是由于PM_2.5长期分量快速下降[4.04 μg·（m³·a）^-1]导致.     

紫色土丘陵区退耕还林对坡地土壤碳氮空间分布的影响

为了弥补我国四川盆地紫色土丘陵区退耕还林对坡地土壤碳（C）和氮（N）时空分布影响的研究不足,依托中国科学院盐亭紫色土农业生态试验站在万安小流域建立的长期观测样地,对比分析了约30年历史的退耕林地及其邻近的坡耕地不同坡面位置土壤的C、N形态、含量及其储量. 结果发现,退耕还林后,显著增加了剖面土壤有机碳（SOC）含量及储量（P< 0.05）,其中表层土壤（0~20 cm）SOC储量增加了25.86 t·hm^-2,年均SOC储量增加速率为0.89 t·hm^-2. 土壤总氮（TN）含量虽略有增加,但仅限于0~20 cm土层. 退耕林地与坡耕地相比,速效C、N养分如,土壤硝态氮（NO₃^--N）、铵态氮（NH₄⁺-N）和可溶性有机碳（DOC）含量在整个土壤剖面（0~70 cm）的差异性基本不显著（P> 0.05）. 此外,研究还发现空间位置对坡耕地土壤TN、SOC、NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N和DOC含量均有显著影响（P< 0.05）;土壤TN和SOC含量沿坡面的变化趋势大小为：下坡位>上坡位>中坡位,而土壤NO₃^--N、NH₄⁺-N和DOC含量沿坡面的变化趋势大小则为：上坡位<中坡位<下坡位. 退耕林地土壤仅DOC含量受坡位的显著影响,并沿坡面向下呈增加趋势. 结果表明,在评估紫色土丘陵区土地利用变化对土壤碳氮储量的影响时,不能忽视地形等因素的影响.
