Observations of Atmospheric Nitrogen and Phosphorus Deposition During the Period of Algal Bloom Formation in Northern Lake Taihu,China

Cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Taihu occurred at the end of April 2007 and had crucial impacts on the livelihood of millions of people living there. Excessive nutrients may promote bloom formation. Atmospheric nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deposition appears to play an important role in algal bloom formation. Bulk deposition and rain water samples were collected respectively from May 1 to November 30, 2007, the period of optimal algal growth, to measure the bulk atmospheric deposition rate, wet deposition rate, and dry deposition rate for total nitrogen (TN; i.e., all species of nitrogen), and total phosphorus (TP; i.e., all species of phosphorus), in northern Lake Taihu, China. The trends of the bulk atmospheric deposition rate for TN and the wet deposition rate for TN showed double peaks during the observation period and distinct influence with plum rains and typhoons. Meanwhile, monthly bulk atmospheric deposition rates for TP showed little influence of annual precipitation. However, excessive rain may lead to high atmospheric N and P deposition rates. In bulk deposition samples, the average percentage of total dissolved nitrogen accounting for TN was 91.2% and changed little with time. However, the average percentage of total dissolved phosphorus accounting for TP was 65.6% and changed substantially with time. Annual bulk atmospheric deposition rates of TN and TP during 2007 in Lake Taihu were estimated to be 2,976 and 84 kg km⁻² a⁻¹, respectively. The results showed decreases of 34.4% and 78.7%, respectively, compared to 2002–2003. Annual bulk deposition load of TN for Lake Taihu was estimated at 6,958 t a⁻¹ in 2007 including 4,642 t a⁻¹ of wet deposition, lower than the values obtained in 2002–2003. This may be due to measures taken to save energy and emission control regulations in the Yangtze River Delta. Nevertheless, high atmospheric N and P deposition loads helped support cyanobacterial blooms in northern Lake Taihu during summer and autumn, the period of favorable algal growth.     

太湖西部河网中沉积物氮的空间分布特征

选取太湖主要入湖水系(西苕溪水系和宜溧-洮滆水系)为研究对象,于2014年1月完成水体及表层沉积物各102个样品的采集,分析了沉积物中氮(N)不同形态的空间分布特征及其影响因素.结果表明,西苕溪水系表层沉积物总氮(TN)含量高于宜溧-洮滆水系,均值分别为2164.91 mg·kg~(-1)和983.52 mg·kg~(-1),两个水系间沉积物TN含量存在显著差异.西苕溪和宜溧-洮滆两个水系沉积物中无机氮(IN)以氨氮(NH+4-N)为主,平均含量分别为120.90 mg·kg~(-1)和49.85 mg·kg~(-1),而硝态氮(NO_3~--N)平均含量仅为9.60 mg·kg~(-1)和13.95 mg·kg~(-1).沉积物中有机氮(ON)含量及分布与TN相似,西苕溪和宜溧-洮滆水系ON均值分别为2034.41 mg·kg~(-1)和917.77 mg·kg~(-1),占各自TN的百分比分别为93.90%和92.99%.表层沉积物各形态N之间及与上覆水体之间均具有显著的相关性,表明沉积物与上覆水之间的浓度梯度可能会驱动IN向上覆水体进行释放.     

细菌群落结构对水体富营养化的响应

于2005年2月在太湖不同营养水平湖区采集水样,寞接提取水样的总DNA,以细菌16SrDNA通用引物进行V3区PCR扩增,产物经DGGE(变性凝胶梯度电泳)分离后,获得水体细菌群落的16SrDNA指纹图谱;并运用FDC(表面荧光直接计数)方法对细菌丰度进行了测定.结果表明,水体中细菌的群落结构随着水体富营养化程度的改变产生明显变化,细菌数量呈现随水体营养水平增加而上升的趋势,营养水平较低的湖心区细菌数量仅为2.87×106 cells·mL-1,超富营养化的五里湖区水体中.细菌数量高达5.92×106cells·mL-1;细菌群落多样性随水体营养水平增加呈现显著的下降趋势,在超富营养化的1#、2#采样位点,细菌DGGE主要条带数量仅为23条,在沉水植物丰富区(贡湖湾)细菌DGGE主要条带数量达33条.PCA(主成分分析)的聚类结果表明,太湖水体中不同营养水平下的细菌群落多样性可大致归为3种类型,超富营养化的五里湖区水体细菌群落结构与梅粱湾及汞湖湾存在明显不同,可以大体归为超富营养类型、藻型湖区及草型湖区类型3种.此结果反映了水体富营养化过程中,由于营养物质的增加,促进了某些类群微生物的大量繁殖,水体中微生物的生物量显著增加;生态环境条件的恶化,造成了微生物多样性的下降,这可能导致原本稳定的水生态系统脆弱化.     

太湖氮磷营养盐大气湿沉降特征及入湖贡献率

2009年8月—2010年7月在太湖流域不同区域10个采样点收集降水样品230多个,测定其中不同形态N,P营养盐的质量浓度,分析太湖大气湿沉降中N,P营养盐沉降特征,计算N,P营养盐湿沉降率及其占太湖河流入湖负荷的贡献率. 结果表明:湿沉降中ρ(TN)年均值为3.16 mg/L,DTN(溶解性总氮)占TN的70%以上,其中以NH₄+-N为主;湿沉降中ρ(TN)年均值最高值出现在南部湖区,最低值出现在北部湖区. 湿沉降中ρ(TP)年均值为0.08 mg/L,相对较低. 5个区域湿沉降中不同形态N的质量浓度均表现为冬季高、夏季低,而不同形态N,P的湿沉降量均为夏季最大. 南部、东部湖区TN的湿沉降率相对较大. 各采样点湿沉降中NH₄+-N沉降率约占DTN沉降率的30.4%～52.0%,NO₃--N沉降率约占DTN的31.6%;各区域间湿沉降中DTP(溶解性总磷)占TP的比例差异较大. 大气湿沉降中TN和TP的年沉降总量分别为10 868 和247 t,为同期河流入湖负荷的18.6%和11.9%,湿沉降对太湖富营养化的贡献及可能带来的水生态系统的影响不容忽视.

Vertical and temporal distribution of nitrogen and phosphorus and relationship with their influencing factors in aquatic-terrestrial ecotone： a case study in Taihu Lake, China

Vertical and temporal distributions of N and P in soil solution in aquatic-terrestrial ecotone （ATE） of Taihu Lake were investigated, and the relations among N, P, ORP （oxidation reduction potential）, TOC, root system biomass and microorganism were studied. As a whole, significant declines in TN, NO3^--N, DON （dissolved organic nitrogen） and TP concentration in soil solution have occurred with increase of the depth, and reached their minima at 60 cm depth, except for NH4^＋-N, which increased with depth. The concentration of TP increased gradually from spring to winter in the topsoil, the maximum 0.08 mg/L presented in the winter while the minimum 0.03 mg/L in spring. In the deeper layer, the concentration value of TP fluctuated little. As for the NO3^--N, its seasonal variation was significant at 20 cm depth, its concentration increased gradually from spring to autumn, and decreased markedly in winter. Vertical and temporal distribution of DON is contrary to that of NO3^--N. The results also show that the variation of N and P in the percolate between adjacent layers is obviously different. The vertical variation ofTN, TP, NO3^--N, NH4^＋-N and DON is significant, of which the variation coefficient of NO3^--N along the depth reaches 100.23%, the highest; while the variation coefficient of DON is 41.14%, the smallest. The results of correlation analysis show that the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus correlate significantly with TOC, ORP, root biomass and counts of nitrifying bacteria. Most nutrients altered much from 20 to 40 cm along the depth. However, DON changed more between 60 and 80 cm. Results show that soil of 0-60 cm depth is active rhizoplane, with strong capability to remove the nitrogen and phosphorus in ATE. It may suggest that there exists the optimum ecological efficiency in the depth of above 60 cm in reed wetland. This will be very significant for ecological restoration and reestablishment.     

2009~2018年太湖湖泛强度变化及其影响因素

基于2009~2018年的每年4~10月对太湖湖泛易发区的逐日巡查成果,以及相关太湖气象、水文、水质和水华监测资料的综合分析,揭示了太湖湖泛发生的环境条件及年际差异性特征,分析了影响太湖湖泛强度年际变化的因素及防控途径.结果表明,2009~2018年10 a中太湖共发生大小湖泛事件75次,平均湖泛面积1.35 km²,最大面积9.20 km²,平均持续时间3 d,最长持续16 d;湖泛发生引起了水体有机质、氮和磷等水质指标明显增高;湖泛的发生均在水温20℃以上,发生首日均处在5~9月;年际湖泛强度变化较大,2017年湖泛强度最大,2018年次之,而2014年湖泛强度最小;年际湖泛强度与蓝藻水华强度及5~9月的湖水平均温度显著正相关,而与水体营养盐等指标关系不密切,表明年际气候条件的波动对湖泛情势影响很大;湖泛的形成与河口区蓝藻水华的堆积关系密切：除了5次草源性湖泛外,70次藻源性湖泛均发生在入湖河口附近水域,河口区的底泥污染状况及底泥悬浮状况可能对湖泛的发生具有促进作用.根据形成湖泛的腐烂物质、来源、发生地点和持续时间的不同,可将湖泛分为藻源性湖泛和草源性湖泛这2种类型,藻源性湖泛又可分为港源型、迁移型和原发型这3种.结果表明,控制蓝藻水华强度是降低湖泛风险的根本途径,而避免河口区蓝藻水华过度堆积及厌氧分解的措施,如对蓝藻水华的及时打捞、工程措施形成的局部流场改变、蓝藻水华的离岸打捞工程和滨岸水华堆积区的应急曝气工程,以及河口区的污染底泥疏浚等工程措施,是降低湖泛发生风险的工程措施选项.

采用多介质环境数学模型,评价太湖流域居民暴露于DDTs的健康风险,分析风险来源、暴露介质及暴露途径,并结合蒙特卡罗方法分析研究过程中的不确定性. 结果表明,太湖流域居民中男性和女性对环境中DDTs的终身日平均暴露量分别为4.00×10－4～8.28×10－3和3.73×10－4～7.28×10－3 mg/(kg·d). 暴露途径中食物摄取是最主要途径,其次是吸入,皮肤暴露作用很小. 食物中贡献较大的为谷物、鱼类和肉类. 相应的男性和女性的健康风险度分别为0.114×10－6～2.366×10－6 和0.107×10－6～2.081×10－6 a－1,低于可接受健康风险度标准的累积概率分别为80.85%和86.05%.      

“引江济太”过程中长江-望虞河-贡湖氮、磷输入特征研究

为了解"引江济太"调水过程中长江、望虞河对贡湖营养盐输入特征,于2013年8月和2013年12月引水期间对20个采样点各形态N、P质量浓度的沿程和时间变化以及百分含量占比进行研究.结果表明,两个不同的引水期,长江-望虞河-贡湖段水体各形态N、P沿程和时间变化均表现不一:长江引水经望虞河入贡湖后,水体NO-2-N、NO-3-N、NH+4-N和TN质量浓度均较长江和望虞河段有不同程度的降低,而贡湖段DON质量浓度显著高于长江和望虞河段,但长江-望虞河段水体各形态N中NO-3-N质量浓度最高.长江和望虞河TP质量浓度总体表现平稳,而各形态P质量浓度在两个引水时期内有所变化.从时间变化来看,2013年8月水体的DON和TP质量浓度总体上高于12月;而NO-3-N和DOP质量浓度总体上低于12月.总体来说,两个引水时期内,NO-3-N和TPP是望虞河经长江引水的主要N、P形态;而贡湖经望虞河水体输入的N、P主要形态分别为NO-3-N、PO3-4-P和TPP.
