Radon-222 signatures of natural ventilation regimes in an underground quarry

Radon-222 activity concentration has been monitored since 1999 in an underground limestone quarry located in Vincennes, near Paris, France. It is homogeneous in summer, with an average value of 1700 Bq m(-3), and varies from 730 to 1450 Bq m(-3) in winter, indicating natural ventilation with a rate ranging from 0.5 to 2.4 x 10(-6) s(-1) (0.04-0.22 day(-1)). This hypothesis is supported by measurements in the vertical access pit where, in winter, a turbulent air current produces a stable radon profile, smoothly decreasing from 700 Bq m(-3) at 20 m depth to 300 Bq m(-3) at surface. In summer, a thermal stratification is maintained in the pit, but the radon-222 concentration jumps repeatedly between 100 and 2000 Bq m(-3). These jumps are due to atmospheric pressure pumping, which induces ventilation in the quarry at a rate of about 0.1 x 10(-6) s(-1) (0.009 day(-1)). Radon-222 monitoring thus provides a dynamical characterisation of ventilation regimes, which is important for the assessment of the long-term evolution of underground systems.     

高海拔地区与低海拔地区污水处理系统中微生物群落特征分析对比

从污水处理系统中微生物群落结构特征分析入手,利用高通量基因测序技术对高海拔地区(西藏)与低海拔地区(无锡)生活污水处理厂污泥样品中的微生物群落结构进行分析和对比。结果表明:高海拔地区各样品的Simpson指数(0.993~0.994)和Shannon指数(8.388~8.668)均高于低海拔地区的数值,但实际处理效率却低于低海拔环境。高海拔地区样品中丰度最高的菌属为Haliangium和Ferruginibacter,丰度分别为6.5%~10.3%和5.6%~6.4%,与去除水中的生化需氧量相关,而在低海拔地区样品中丰度最高的菌属为Hyphomicrobium,丰度为7.8%~11.4%,与污水处理的脱氮功能相关。在低海拔地区,具有除磷功能的聚磷假丝酵母菌(Candidatus accumulibacter)的丰度值为1.3%,但是在高海拔地区的样品中却未检测到其存在, 而是由Tetrasphaera(丰度1.2%~1.6%)和黄杆菌(Flavobacterium,丰度0.57%~0.70%)替代。环境条件的主成分分析结果表明,与高海拔地区的菌属种类分布相关性最高的环境因素为TN浓度,其次为TP、NH₄+-N和DO浓度。高海拔环境下,COD和BOD₅对微生物菌落分布的影响明显低于低海拔环境。

Développement larvaire de deux Tellinacea,Scrobicularia plana (Semelidae) et Donax vittatus (Donacidae)

Scrobicularia plana Da Costa and Donax vittatus L. were reared in the laboratory through settlement. Fertilizable eggs were obtained by perfusing the ovary with 5% 0.1 M ammonium hydroxyde in sea water. S. plana eggs have a thick chorion, inside which the early larval stages develop; they hatch as straight-hinge larvae more than 60 h after fertilization. This brood protection is considered to be an adaptation to osmotic pressure changes and pollution in the environment. D. vittatus eggs have a very thin chorion and are unprotected. Further development is planktotrophic and very similar for the two species. Under laboratory conditions, the pediveliger stage is attained 3 weeks after fertilization and settlement occurs 1 week thereafter. S. plana spat stop growing until a suitable substratum is available. Meanwhile they undergo a byssus drifting important for postlarval dispersion. Post larvae resume growth as soon as a small quantity of fine sand is added to the rearing jar. The exhalant siphon is developed first, when the post larvae reach a length of 600 m; the inhalant siphon is formed later, at a length of approximately 900 m. Evolution from the larval hinge to the juvenile hinge stage occurs sooner in S. plana than in D. vittatus. Comparison of laboratory larval development with field development indicates that spawning occurs in June and August for S. plana in North Wales (UK).

中国江河氧化亚氮的排放及其影响因素

氧化亚氮（N₂O）是一种在大气中存留时间很长的强效温室气体,并被认为是21世纪破坏臭氧层的重要物质之一,气候预测需要对自然与人为排放的包括N₂O在内的温室气体进行全面准确地估算.内陆水体是N₂O的重要排放源,由于人为氮输入的增加,江河N₂O的排放量可能逐年升高.本研究总结了江河N₂O排放速率的研究方法,重点汇总了中国各气候带十大流域江河N₂O的溶存浓度和水气界面交换通量,并与世界其他河流进行比较.结果表明我国江河溶存N₂O浓度为0.3~1591 nmol·L^-1,N₂O释放通量为-12.2~2262.1 μmol·m^-2·d^-1,总体与世界其他江河的范围值具有可比性.在此基础上,进一步分析了江河N₂O的产生和释放机理,探讨了水中溶解性无机氮、溶解氧、有机碳以及水文、地形地貌与气象条件等对江河N₂O产生和释放的影响,并讨论了变化环境下江河N₂O的排放特征.
