稻草经超声波辅助预处理后酶解过程的动力学研究

在功率为120 W、处理时间为30 min的条件下,分别对稻草进行超声波辅助酸碱预处理,与传统化学预处理(碱-预处理、酸-预处理)后稻草的主要化学组成相比较,结果表明超声波技术辅助酸碱预处理可以更为有效地去除半纤维素和木质素,从而提高了稻草基质中纤维素的相对含量,有利于缩短稻草水解时间。在一系列实验研究的基础上,建立了稻草酶水解动力学模型。结果表明,分别经碱、超声波-碱、酸、超声波-酸预处理的稻草在糖化过程中的模型参数(米氏常数KM,速率常数k和抑制常数KI)均不相同,KM分别为17.55、14.14、15.29和15.08 g/L;k分别为15.30、21.32、13.40和15.42 h-1;抑制常数KI变化不明显分别为2.31、2.08、1.81和1.85 g/L。模型及实验方法简便可靠,有较好的拟合性,对稻草酶水解过程工程放大及过程控制都具有一定的参考价值。     

产漆酶食用菌的粗酶液对多环芳烃降解研究

漆酶是一种含铜的多酚氧化酶,可以降解多种有机污染物,其中包括多环芳烃。但是由于纯漆酶的价格昂贵,限制了在环境修复中的应用。采用液态和固态2种方式培养了食用菌Pleurotus ostreatus和Coprinus comatus,并考察了固态培养的粗酶液对多环芳烃的降解和去毒能力,结果发现2种真菌均可产漆酶,但不产木质素过氧化物酶和锰过氧化物酶,其中固态培养的漆酶产量高于液态培养,且C.comatus的漆酶产量大于P.ostreatus。2种真菌固态培养的粗酶液对多环芳烃均有一定的降解和去毒作用,且P.ostreatus粗酶液的漆酶活性虽然较低,但是对多环芳烃降解率和去毒效果却优于C.comatus,这可能是P.ostreatus的粗酶液中含有较多的调节物质造成的。P.ostreatus的固态发酵粗酶液对蒽、苯并[a]芘、苯并[a]蒽、苊等均有较高的降解率(50%以上),但是对生物有效性高的萘的降解率却较低,这种降解特征可能与底物的电离势大小有关。     

Occurrence of monoethylmercury in the Florida Everglades: Identification and verification

A few studies have reported the occurrence of monoethylmercury (CH₃CH₂Hg⁺) in the natural environment, but further verification is needed due to the lack of direct evidence and/or uncertainty in analytical procedures. Various analytical techniques were employed to verify the occurrence of CH₃CH₂Hg⁺ in soil of the Florida Everglades. The identity of CH₃CH₂Hg⁺ in Everglades soil was clarified, for the first time, by GC/MS. The employment of the recently developed aqueous phenylation-purge-and-trap-GC coupled with ICPMS confirmed that the detected CH₃CH₂Hg⁺ was not a misidentification of CH₃SHg⁺. Stable isotope-tracer experiments further indicated that the detected CH₃CH₂Hg⁺ indeed originated from Everglades soil and was not an analytical artifact. All these evidence clearly confirmed the occurrence of CH₃CH₂Hg⁺ in Everglades soil, presumably as a consequence of ethylation occurring in this wetland. The prevalence of CH₃CH₂Hg⁺ in Everglades soil suggests that ethylation could play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of Hg.

Quantifying Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Dynamics in the Jinsha Watershed, Upper Yangtze, China from 1975 to 2000

Quantifying the spatial and temporal dynamics of carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems and carbon fluxes between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere is critical to our understanding of regional patterns of carbon budgets. Here we use the General Ensemble biogeochemical Modeling System to simulate the terrestrial ecosystem carbon dynamics in the Jinsha watershed of China’s upper Yangtze basin from 1975 to 2000, based on unique combinations of spatial and temporal dynamics of major driving forces, such as climate, soil properties, nitrogen deposition, and land use and land cover changes. Our analysis demonstrates that the Jinsha watershed ecosystems acted as a carbon sink during the period of 1975–2000, with an average rate of 0.36 Mg/ha/yr, primarily resulting from regional climate variation and local land use and land cover change. Vegetation biomass accumulation accounted for 90.6% of the sink, while soil organic carbon loss before 1992 led to a lower net gain of carbon in the watershed, and after that soils became a small sink. Ecosystem carbon sink/source patterns showed a high degree of spatial heterogeneity. Carbon sinks were associated with forest areas without disturbances, whereas carbon sources were primarily caused by stand-replacing disturbances. It is critical to adequately represent the detailed fast-changing dynamics of land use activities in regional biogeochemical models to determine the spatial and temporal evolution of regional carbon sink/source patterns.     

China’s Primary Programs of Terrestrial Ecosystem Restoration: Initiation, Implementation, and Challenges

China has undertaken several major programs of terrestrial ecosystem restoration (ERPs) in recent years, including the Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP) and the Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP). There have been reports on the implementation of these programs, their preliminary impacts, and the problems encountered in carrying them out; a great deal has been learned from these studies. Nonetheless, China’s ERPs are not limited to the NFPP and the SLCP. Because a complete documentation and a timely update of these major efforts are still missing from the literature, it is difficult to gauge the scope of these programs and the scale of their impacts. In addition, a more thorough and critical analysis of both the general ERP policy and the specific technical measures used in implementing the ERPs remains urgently needed. The purpose of this article is to tackle these tasks. Overall, with the huge government investments in the ERPs, tremendous progress has been made in implementing them. To complete them successfully and to fundamentally improve the targeted ecosystems, however, it is essential for China to have a more balanced and comprehensive approach to ecological restoration. This approach must include: adopting better planning and management practices; strengthening the governance of program implementation; emphasizing the active engagement of local people; establishing an independent, competent monitoring network; and conducting adequate assessments of program effectiveness and impact.     

Quantifying the Effect of Ecological Restoration on Soil Erosion in China’s Loess Plateau Region: An Application of the MMF Approach

Land degradation due to erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems in China. To reduce land degradation, the government has taken a number of conservation and restoration measures, including the Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP), which was launched in 1999. A logical question is whether these measures have reduced soil erosion at the regional level. The objective of this article is to answer this question by assessing soil erosion dynamics in the Zuli River basin in the Loess Plateau of China from 1999 to 2006. The MMF (Morgan, Morgan and Finney) model was used to simulate changes in runoff and soil erosion over the period of time during which ecological restoration projects were implemented. Some model variables were derived from remotely sensed images to provide improved land surface representation. With an overall accuracy rate of 0.67, our simulations show that increased ground vegetation cover, especially in forestlands and grasslands, has reduced soil erosion by 38.8% on average from 1999 to 2006. During the same time period, however, the change in rainfall pattern has caused a 13.1% ± 4.3% increase in soil erosion, resulting in a net 25.7% ± 8.5% reduction in soil erosion. This suggests that China’s various ecological restoration efforts have been effective in reducing soil loss.
