Phragmites australis and Typha orientalis in removal of pollutant in Taihu Lake, China

Two plant populations of Phragmites australis and Typha orientalis grown in gravel and sediment substrate were studied to assess their capabilities for purifying polluted water in Taihu Lake, China. The substrate displayed most significant effects on the suspended matter (P < 0.01), with the reduction of 76%-87% and 52%-63% for P. australis, and 83%-86% and 45%-62% for T. orientalis in gravel substrate and sediment substrate, respectively. Both species and substrates significantly decreased the N and P conc...     

Identification and characterization of the chromium（Ⅵ） responding protein from a newly isolated Ochrobactrum anthropi CTS-325

A Gram-negative, chromium(VI) tolerant and reductive strain CTS-325, isolated from a Chinese chromate plant, was identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi based on its biochemical properties and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. It was able to tolerate up to 10 mmol/L Cr(VI) and completely reduce 1 mmol/L Cr(VI) to Cr(III) within 48 h. When the strain CTS-325 was induced with Cr(VI), a protein increased significantly in the whole cell proteins. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis revealed that this protein was a superoxide dismutase (SOD) homology. The measured superoxide dismutase activity was 2694 U/mg after three steps of purification. The SOD catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide anion (O₂^·−) into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen. This protein is considered to be one of the most important anti-oxidative enzymes for O. anthropi as it allows the bacterium to survive high oxygen stress environments, such as the environment produced during the reduction process of Cr(VI).

中国西北地区东部沙尘暴区划研究

利用西北地区东部98个气象站的沙尘暴日数、持续时间资料,采用经验正交分解(EOF、REOF)、滑动t检验、Mann-Kendall突变检验及小波变换,对其时空分布规律进行了诊断分析。结果表明:整个区域沙尘暴日数大致呈北多南少型分布;受大尺度气候异常的影响,全区一致的沙尘暴异常是该区域最主要的表现形式。西北地区东部沙尘暴日数空间异常可分为4个沙尘暴气候区:河西走廊—阿拉善区、鄂尔多斯—乌兰布和区、柴达木—茶卡寒旱区、陕甘宁黄土高原区。河西走廊—阿拉善区沙尘暴频次最高,陕甘宁黄土高原区频次最少;近40多年来西北地区东部沙尘暴日数呈减少的态势;沙尘暴日数在20世纪80年代中期到末期发生气候突变,突变起源于沙漠及相邻地区,并由外围沙漠区向中间地带传播。沙尘暴持续时间最长的不是高频区河西走廊—阿拉善区,而是鄂尔多斯—乌兰布和区,最短的也不在频次最低的陕甘宁黄土高原区,而在柴达木—茶卡寒旱区;沙尘暴高发的河西走廊—阿拉善区、鄂尔多斯—乌兰布和区,持续时间没有发生明显的突变,这两个区域20世纪80年代中期以后沙尘暴持续时间变率增大;90年代以后沙尘暴持续时间有增长的趋势。     

洱海流域农田土壤氮素的矿化及其影响因素

采用好氧间歇淋洗培养法,对洱海流域内的农田、菜地土壤样品培养2周,研究土壤氮的矿化及其影响因素.结果表明,表层土壤2周氮矿化量平均为65.54mg/kg.不同农田利用方式下,表层土壤氮矿化量的平均值为露地菜田粮田大蒜田.土壤氮素矿化以硝态氮为主,且随着土壤深度的增加而降低.土壤氮矿化同全氮、有机质含量呈明显的正相关关系,与pH值呈负相关;氮矿化与无机氮含量、C/N之间无显著关系.全氮、有机质和pH值是影响该流域农田土壤矿化的主要因子.     

海伦地区水热耦合特征及其对大豆产量的影响

农业是受气候变化影响的主要敏感行业之一,气候变暖带来的气温升高以及降水格局的改变对农作物生产有利有弊。论文基于黑龙江海伦地区1978—2004年生长季≥10℃有效积温、降水量和统计年鉴中的大豆产量数据,以积温和降水在季节上的匹配程度作为判断水热耦合的指标,采用气候波动指数、减产风险指数作为大豆产量受气候波动影响程度的指标,研究了在生长季降水量下降和≥10℃有效积温增加的趋势下水热耦合的年际和年内变化特征及其对大豆产量的影响,并分析了偏干旱、正常和湿润年份大豆产量受气候波动影响的特征和减产风险性。结果表明,大豆气候波动指数和产量减产风险指数从大到小均依次为偏干旱年、偏湿润年和正常年,说明海伦地区受气候暖干化影响较大。     

中国陆地多年平均积温空间化研究

将海拔高度等反映区域特性的因子作为变量引入GIS空间化模型是提高气象数据估算精度的重要途径。根据聚类的思想,将研究区域进行聚类分区,使分区内积温分布特征一致性趋强。然后利用统计方法寻找各分区年积温随海拔变化的规律,以获得较高精度的估算结果。论文提出的基于分区DEM修正反距离空间化方法,与常用的空间化方法如克里格法、反距离平方法相比,解决了积温空间分布复杂性的问题,并一定程度上考虑了气象站点空间分布的稀疏性、不均匀性以及受海拔和区域差异等因素对积温分布的影响,具有较高的估算精度,适合于较大范围的年积温空间化。另外,由于气象台站分布在相对较低的区域,高海拔区域积温估算精度很低,利用此方法解决了高海拔区域积温估算的精度问题。     

Effects of sterilization treatments on the analysis of TOC in water samples

Decomposition experiments conducted with and without microbial processes are commonly used to study the effects of environmental microorganisms on the degradation of organic pollutants.However,the effects of biological pretreatment (sterilization) on organic matter often have a negative impact on such experiments.Based on the principle of water total organic carbon (TOC) analysis,the effects of physical sterilization treatments on determination of TOC and other water quality parameters were investigated.The results revealed that two conventional physical sterilization treatments,autoclaving and 60 Co γ-radiation sterilization,led to the direct decomposition of some organic pollutants,resulting in remarkable errors in the analysis of TOC in water samples.Furthermore,the extent of the errors varied with the intensity and the duration of sterilization treatments.Accordingly,a novel sterilization method for water samples,0.45 μm micro-filtration coupled with ultraviolet radiation (MCUR),was developed in the present study.The results indicated that the MCUR method was capable of exerting a high bactericidal effect on the water sample while significantly decreasing the negative impact on the analysis of TOC and other water quality parameters.Before and after sterilization treatments,the relative errors of TOC determination could be controlled to lower than 3% for water samples with different categories and concentrations of organic pollutants by using MCUR.
