Electrochemical and spectroscopic characteristics of dissolved organic matter in a forest soil profile

Dissolved organic matter （DOM） represents one of the most mobile and reactive organic compounds in ecosystem and plays an important role in the fate and transport of soil organic pollutants, nutrient cycling and more importantly global climate change. Electrochemical methods were first employed to evaluate DOM redox properties, and spectroscopic approaches were utilized to obtain information concerning its composition and structure. DOM was extracted from a forest soil profile with five horizons. Differential pulse voltammetry indicated that there were more redox-active moieties in the DOM from upper horizons than in that from lower horizons. Cyclic voltammetry further showed that these moieties were reversible in electron transfer. Chronoamperometry was employed to quantify the electron transfer capacity of DOM, including electron acceptor capacity and electron donor capacity, both of which decreased sharply with increasing depth. FT-IR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra results suggested that DOM from the upper horizons was enriched with aromatic and humic structures while that from the lower horizons was rich in aliphatic carbon, which supported the findings obtained by electrochemical approaches. Electrochemical approaches combined with spectroscopic methods were applied to evaluate the characteristics of DOM extracted along a forest soil profile. The electrochemical properties of DOM, which can be rapidly and simply obtained, provide insight into the migration and transformation of DOM along a soil profile and will aid in better understanding of the biogeochemical role of DOM in natural environments.     

Soil microbial community structure and function responses to successive planting of Eucalyptus

Many studies have shown soil degradation after the conversion of native forests to exotic Eucalyptus plantations. However, few studies have investigated the long-term impacts of short-rotation forestry practices on soil microorganisms. The impacts of Eucalyptus successive rotations on soil microbial communities were evaluated by comparing phospholipid fatty acid （PLFA） abundances, compositions, and enzyme activities of native Pinus massoniana plantations and adjacent 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation Eucalyptus plantations. The conversion from P. massoniana to Eucalyptus plantations significantly decreased soil microbial community size and enzyme activities, and increased microbial physiological stress. However, the PLFA abundances formed ＂U＂ shaped quadratic functions with Eucalyptus plantation age. Alternatively, physiological stress biomarkers, the ratios of monounsaturated to saturated fatty acid and Gram＋ to Gram- bacteria, formed ＂∩＂ shaped quadratic functions, and the ratio of cy17：0 to 16： 1ω7c decreased with plantation age. The activities of phenol oxidase, peroxidase, and acid phosphatase increased with Eucalyptus plantation age, while the cellobiobydrolase activity formed ＂U＂ shaped quadratic functions. Soil N：P, alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen, soil organic carbon, and understory cover largely explained the variation in PLFA profiles while soil N：P, alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen, and understory cover explained most of the variability in enzyme activity. In conclusion, soil microbial structure and function under Eucalyptus plantations were strongly impacted by plantation age. Most of the changes could be explained by altered soil resource availability and understory cover associated with successive planting of Eucalyptus. Our results highlight the importance of plantation age for assessing the impacts of plantation conversion as well as the importance of reducing disturbance for plantation management.

渭南市大气环境容量计算及控制对策研究

以修正A值法估算渭南市大气环境容量,为渭南市大气总量控制提供科学依据。以箱模型为基本模型,利用陕西省气象台整编的1961-2008年气象资料,推导出宏观总量控制修正A值法,除韩城市、潼关县、浦城县、白水县和富平县A值大于国标A值,其余渭南各市县A值小于国标A值。在新空气质量标准标准的要求下,渭南市SO2、NOx、PM10环境容量分别为19.55×104t/a、10.50×104t/a和18.97×104t/a。为了保证各分区的环境质量,中架点源排放量与低源排放量之和应小于各分区容量,韩城市应注意改善中、低源NO x排放,其它区县NO x剩余容量有限,在严格的新空气质量标准的要求下,应加强对各区县中架点源与低架源的NO x控制,重点控制水泥行业、炼焦业和机动车的NO x排放。从整个城市考虑,从整个渭南市污染源排放来看,SO2总体排放量超过环境容量12.917×104t/a,NO x总体排放量超过环境容量8.016×104t/a,为了减少其对周边城市的影响,应提高火电厂脱硫效率,重点加快电厂脱硝设施建设。     

气体停留时间对生物滤池去除恶臭和微生物气溶胶影响

气体停留时间是影响生物滤池去除恶臭和微生物气溶胶的重要因素之一。采用小试规模的生物滤池研究了气体停留时间对城市污水处理工艺恶臭和微生物气溶胶去除特性的影响。研究结果表明:随着气体停留时间的增加,硫化氢和氨的去除率随之增加,而异养细菌和真菌的去除率降低,低的气体停留时间利于微生物气溶胶的去除,保证硫化氢、氨和微生物气溶胶均能同时高效去除的气体停留时间为40 s。随着气体停留时间的增加,生物滤池出气中分布于stage1、stage2和stage3的大粒径微生物粒子所占比例减小,而分布于stage5和stage6的小粒径微生物粒子所占比例增加。在低的气体停留时间下,生物滤池出气微生物气溶胶潜在的健康风险更大。     

地下水位变化对边坡稳定性影响的模拟分析

降雨引起边坡地下水位变化、降低岩土体抗剪强度进而引起边坡失稳产生滑坡是电网工程灾害中最常见的地质灾害之一。文章在现场详细工程地质勘察的基础上,基于恢复山体极限平衡法和强度折减法,利用数值分析方法对降雨引起地下水位变化条件下某电网工程边坡稳定性进行了分析。模拟结果表明,现今地下水位条件下,该边坡整体处于极限平衡状态;在最高洪水位条件下边坡则处于失稳状态。边坡的最大变形位于边坡中上部,并呈现出由上部逐渐向下部扩展的趋势。边坡潜在破坏模式为边坡后缘张拉破坏和中下部剪切破坏的复合破坏模式。最后基于数值分析结果,对该边坡的工程治理提出了建议。
