Plankton community composition in the Three Gorges Reservoir Region revealed by PCR-DGGE and its relationships with environmental factors

To explore the relationships between community composition and the environment in a reservoir ecosystem, plankton communities from the Three Gorges Reservoir Region were studied by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprinting. Bacterial and eukaryotic operational taxonomic units （OTUs）, generated by DGGE analysis of the PCR-amplified 16S and 18S rRNA genes, were used as surrogates for the dominant ＂biodiversity units＂. OTU composition among the sites was heterogeneous; 46.7% of the total bacterial OTUs （45） and 64.1% of the eukaryotic OTUs （39） were identified in less than half of the sampling sites. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic averages （UPGMA） clustering of the OTUs suggested that the plankton communities in the Xiangxi Rive sites were not always significantly different from those from the Yangtze River sites, despite clear differences in their environmental characterizations. Canonical correspondence analysis （CCA） was applied to further investigate the relationships between OTU composition and the environmental factors. The first two CCA ordination axes suggested that the bacterial community composition was primarily correlated with the variables of NO3^--N, dissolved oxygen （DO）, and SiO3^2--Si, whereas, the eukaryotic community was mainly correlated with the concentrations of DO, PO4^3--P, and SiO3^2--Si.     

坡度条件下竖井隧道火灾温度变化数值模拟研究

为了研究不同坡度竖井隧道，采用FDS对不同坡度（3%～20%）作用下竖井内部温度衰减、烟气逆流长度以及竖井自然排烟效率进行分析。采用无量纲参数，对隧道内部温度变化进行研究，结果表明：坡度的增加能抑制竖井吸穿现象的产生；坡度会使火焰角度发生倾斜导致温度最高点出现变化，同时也能降低隧道内部温度，烟气逆流长度受坡度变化影响大，根据研究结果建立温度衰减预测模型与烟气逆流模型，为隧道、巷道提供设计依据。     

福建南安市石井——东田地区土壤厚度空间分布特征及主要影响因素

在福建省南安市石井—东田地区开展了土壤垂向剖面野外地质调查,根据调查结果制作了南安市石井—东田地区土壤厚度空间分布图,探讨了该区土壤厚度空间分布特征及主要影响因素。石井—东田地区土壤厚度背景值以20cm和15cm的土壤层为主,其次为土壤厚度背景值为35cm和10cm的土壤层。福建沿海地区土壤厚度空间变异的主要影响因素为土壤成因和地面坡度。沉积环境越稳定、人为或自然干扰因素越小的区域,土壤层越厚;土壤厚度与地面坡度呈负相关,地面坡度越陡,土壤层越薄。
