Co-development of an integrated assessment framework to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of selected nature-based water treatment technologies in Sri Lanka,The Philippines,and Vietnam

Water quality is a critical challenge in Asia in the context of growing industrialization, urbanization, and climate change. Nature-based solutions (NbS) could play an important role in reducing urban water pollution, while generating multiple co-benefits that could make cities more liveable and resilient. In this regard, a number of pilot and demonstration projects have been set up to explore their potential across cities in Asia. Their effectiveness and impacts, however, have not been adequately documented, thus how they can be sustained, replicated and up-scaled remain poorly understood. This study aims to contribute to addressing this challenge by co-developing an integrated assessment framework and employing it to understand how existing evaluations of NbS in the region can be improved. It focuses specifically on a set of nature-based solutions that have been employed for water treatment across six cities in Southeast Asia (two in each Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Vietnam), namely, floating wetlands, constructed wetlands and maturation ponds. The study also suggests specific methodologies for capturing a set of core indicators considered relevant for assessing the effectiveness and capturing the multi-faceted impacts of the examined NbS.     

金沙江上游圭利滑坡发育特征及运动过程分析∗

金沙江上游构造破碎、岩体结构复杂,区内大型‐巨型滑坡发育,历史上发生过多次滑坡堵江事件。圭利滑坡位于西藏江达县金沙江西岸,滑坡变形严重,大小拉裂缝、垮塌几乎覆盖整个滑坡,变形程度有不断增加的趋势,失稳后将对金沙江下游造成巨大威胁。在野外调查的基础上,通过对金沙江上游圭利滑坡发育特征的分析,选取 Massflow 数值计算模型对该滑坡失稳运动过程进行预测分析,获取了滑坡在不同时刻的堆积状态及运动速度。结果表明,滑坡整体运动时长约为 40 s,最大滑动速度达到 31 m/s,最大堆积厚度为 51 m;前缘向两侧扩散的最大距离约为 220 m,并全部堵塞金沙江;滑坡各区域的速度曲线反映出滑坡运动过程具有突发性、彻底性、整体性、流态性的特点。

基于信息扩散模型的沣东新城区土壤重金属潜在生态风险评估

我国目前大规模的新区建设导致严峻的区域土壤重金属污染形势.以沣东新城为研究靶区,进行重金属含量特征描述性统计及克里金插值分析,进一步结合潜在生态风险指数与信息扩散理论,构建基于风险评估的信息扩散模型,探讨了Pb、Cu、Cd和Hg的污染程度、污染风险及风险发生概率.结果表明,研究区内4种土壤重金属的含量均值远超土壤重金属背景值,分别是背景值的1.943（Pb）、1.419（Cu）、3.074（Cd）和3.567（Hg）倍,且重金属分布受人为干扰较大呈强变异性（CV>65%）.其中,Pb和Cu污染分布主要受到工业生产与建设用地开发的影响,工业活动、农业活动及交通运输是主要的Cd污染源,而工业建设是造成Hg污染的主要因素.重金属潜在生态风险指数平均值分别为9.716（Pb）、7.095（Cu）、92.292（Cd）和142.469（Hg）,区域综合潜在生态风险指数（RI）均值为251.573,表明区域整体处于较高的潜在生态风险状态.区域Pb和Cu整体处于轻度潜在生态风险,而Cd和Hg以中风险与较高风险为主,表明Cd和Hg是区域重金属污染的主导因素.信息扩散潜在生态风险模型评估结果显示,区域综合潜在生态风险各等级的概率排序为：较高（38.98%）>中度（38.55%）>高（5.89%）>轻微（5.15%）>极高（3.56%）,Cd、Hg元素各潜在生态风险等级的超越概率远大于Pb和Cu,Hg元素各污染等级的超越概率分别为轻微（94.89%）、中度（66.85%）、较高（23.62%）、高（3.9%）和极高（2%）,其中仅轻微等级的超越概率小于Cd.潜在生态风险等级的污染概率预测误差均小于5%,体现了基于风险评估的信息扩散模型的可靠性.研究结果可为样本受限地区的土壤重金属潜在生态风险监测与管控提供技术借鉴与支持.

改性酒糟生物炭对紫色土壤镉形态及水稻吸收镉的影响

生物炭及改性生物炭已被广泛应用于重金属污染农田土壤修复领域.为探寻经济有效的镉（Cd）污染酸性紫色土壤修复改良材料,将酒糟制成酒糟生物炭（DGBC）,并用纳米二氧化钛（Nano-TiO₂）对其改性,制得两种改性酒糟生物炭TiO₂/DGBC和Fe-TiO₂/DGBC,采用水稻盆栽试验研究不同生物炭和不同施用量（1%、3%、5%）处理对土壤理化性质、养分含量、Cd赋存形态与生物有效性、水稻生长与Cd富集的影响.结果表明：①施用DGBC显著提高了酸性紫色土pH、CEC和养分含量,且TiO₂/DGBC和Fe-TiO₂/DGBC效果更好.②DGBC和改性DGBC使土壤Cd形态由可溶态向难溶态转变,残渣态Cd相较对照增加了1.22%~18.46%.土壤Cd生物有效性显著降低,DGBC、TiO₂/DGBC和Fe-TiO₂/DGBC分别使有效态Cd降低11.81%~23.67%、7.64%~43.85%和19.75%~55.82%.③施用DGBC和改性DGBC提高了水稻产量,DGBC、TiO₂/DGBC和Fe-TiO₂/DGBC在3%添加量时水稻产量最高,分别为30.60、37.85和39.10 g·pot^-1,是对照的1.13、1.40和1.44倍.水稻各部位Cd含量显著降低,施用3种生物炭时水稻籽粒ω（Cd）分别为0.24~0.30、0.16~0.26和0.14~0.24 mg·kg^-1,TiO₂/DGBC在5%、Fe-TiO₂/DGBC在3%和5%添加量时,水稻籽粒ω（Cd）低于0.2 mg·kg^-1,符合国家食品中污染物限量标准（GB 2762-2022）.总体来看,Nano-TiO₂改性DGBC通过自身的吸附作用和影响土壤Cd形态分布有效降低了土壤Cd生物有效性,从而降低了水稻对Cd的吸收,同时促进了水稻生长,提高水稻产量.是一种具有潜在应用前景的Cd污染土壤修复改良材料.研究结果可以为Cd污染酸性紫色土农田修复和农业安全生产提供科学依据.
